Alan smiled as he made his way to the classroom. He sat down, and got ready for class. The moment class started, a paper ball hit him in the back of the head.

"Huh? What's this?" Alan wondered, before picking it up and opening it. Upon reading it, he saw-

Hey, smiling all the time makes you look psychotic. Ya better stop.

Alan blinks in confusion. "What's wrong with that?" He wondered out aloud.

"Balloon!" Alan snapped back to reality. "Yes, Miss Simian?"

"Were you focusing?!" The elderly monkey asked sternly, in which the balloon nodded.


Alan floated around, and looked at his classmates. "Hey, guys!" His classmates turn to him.

"Hey, Alan." Tobias said.

"Hey, uh, I have a question." Alan told them.

"Shoot it."

"Does my smile look psychotic?" Alan asked. Everyone flinched. Someone said it...

"Well..."

"Uh..."

Gumball stepped up to answer. "Well, it's mainly because you smile even in danger."

"When did I ever do that?" Alan asked.


The entire school was set ablaze. Kids were screaming, running around, whatever, due to flames causing...y'know danger.

Alan, on the other hand, calmly called someone with a smile. "Uh, police? We need the fire department.


Tina's roar filled the streets as she ran across town, destroying everything in her wake to get to two certain brothers.

As they did, they sped past Alan and Carmen, who got knocked over. They looked up to see Tina's foot about to stomp on them.

Carmen screamed in terror. But for Alan, he greeted the dinosaur. "Hey Tina! Nice morning-"

The two were crushed underneath Tina's foot.


"And if I remember, you-" Before Darwin could add after Tobias and Clayton, Alan cut him off.

"Alright, alright, I get it! I smile way too much!"

He stormed off, his friends surprised by his sudden out of character outburst.


Carmen bid farewell to her friends as she went back home. But to her surprise, Alan was there.

"Alan? What are you doing here? You know your house it far away from mine." Carmen questioned, but then Alan when straight into her face.

"Carmen, answer this. Even though I smile in danger, do I look psychotic?" He asked sternly, much to Carmen's surprise.

"Alan, why would you say that?" Carmen questioned, as Alan gave her the most serious look he could give.

"The kids at school said so. Is it true Carmen? Do I look psychotic? DO I?!" At this point, Alan was starting to shake her.

"ALAN, STOP!" Alan did so after Carmen told him so.

"Listen, yes, you smile all the time. But that doesn't make you psychotic or bad."

Alan tilted his head. "Really?"

"It's what makes you...well, you."

Alan stared, before pulling Carmen into a hug, smiling like he always does. "Thanks Carmen."

"It's nothing big, but you're welcome, Alan."
