(At the Watterson's house)
Gumball is alone at the house while Carrie goes to her shift in the hospital. Gumball does his chores all day until his children arrive back home.
*5 hours later*
The bus arrives at their street and Gumball's kids arrives in their house.
"Hey kids, how's school?" Gumball asks his children.
"It's fine." Skye said with a happy tone.
"It was dumb as usual." Carine said as she walks upstairs.
"Where's Gumdrop and Marmalade?" Gumball asked where are his two children.
"They're at a friend's house." Carbon responds.
"What are they doing there?" Gumball asks in curiousity
"Doing a group project." Sindy said.
"How come I didn't know any of that?"
"They asked mom last night." Skye said to her father.
(At the Stuckeys')(5:30pm)
At the living room where Bradley, Gumdrop, Emma, Deejay and Marmalade are working on their project.
"What are we suppose to do again?" Bradley asks.
"I guess being excused is not good idea after all." Marmalade saying playfully.
"Yeah, yeah, just tell me what to do." Bradley said to Marmalade.
"You'll be working on the parallel circuits." Gumdrop said to Bradley.
"Okay, I'll go get the pliers, sockets, and some light bulbs." Bradley said as he went to the garage.
"Emma, can you get some cardboard and some light switches." Gumdrop said to Emma.
"Sure." Emma said as she went upstairs.
"Marms, Deejay we'll be working on the house." Gumdrop explained.
"Okay." Marmalade agree on the plan.
"Sure." Deejay agrees as well.
"Hey I brought the whole toolbox just in case you guys need something else." Bradley carrying an 8lb. toolbox.
"Okay, help Emma look for other materials." Gumdrop instructed.
"Where?" Bradley said.
"Upstairs, it's like you don't know your own house." Marmalade said as she laughs.
"Real funny." Bradley said as he walks upstairs.
*2 hours later*
"There fnished." Gumdrop said with relief.
"So is it gonna stay here or in your house?" Bradley asked Gumdrop whether their project stays in a certain house.
"Hmm, well if here, I couldn't trust Harper, he could do a lot of shit. And if in my house, there's Carbon and Marissa. So I guess I want to keep it in my house." Gumdrop said.
"Okay I'll help you bring it to your house." Bradley said to Gumdrop.
"Alright, let's go" Gumdrop said as he grabs his backpack.
"I'll be heading to my house, see you guys tomorrow." Deejay said as he leaves the house.
"See you tomorrow Deejay!" Marmalade said to Deejay. They left the house going to the Wattersons household.
"Hey Bradley." Gumdrop said.
"Yeah?" Bradley responds.
"I have a question and I hope you don't mind answering." Gumdrop said to Bradley.
"What's the question?" Bradley asks.
"Well, okay, do you like anybody?" Gumdrop asks.
"You mean like someone like a friend-like relationship or a like someone who I think who is perfect for me?" Bradley asked.
"The last one." Gumdrop said.
"Yeah, I mean Harper said he likes our sis, Samantha." Marmalade said with a smile.
"Well can you tell me yours?" Bradley said.
"Well, I'll say Alex." Gumdrop said with a blush.
"How about you?" Marmalade asks Bradley.
"I still didn't think about it yet." Bradley said.
"Are you sure?" Gumdrop asks.
"Yeah." Bradley said nervously.
"Well I see you and Gummie hanging out last weekend at the mall." Marmalade said playfully.
"She asked me to help her look for good headphones." Bradley said defensively.
"Whatever you say, how about Emma?" Marmalade asked.
"What about her?" Bradley asked.
"You two seem to get along well." Marmalade said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know but we're not that close." Bradley said to Marmalade.
"Oh yeah, Marissa said she will prank you whenever you go back to my house." Gumdrop warned Bradley. They arrived the front yard of the house.
"You just said that now." Bradley said in disappointment.
"Sorry, I think she's already asleep." Gumdrop said to Bradley. They entered the house and went upstairs while carrying their project, then suddenly Marissa showed lifting her shirt showing her breast.
"Aaaaah!" Gumdrop, Marmalade and Bradley screamed as they saw something unexpected.
"Marissa! What the hell?" Skye said as she went out of her room.
"What?" Marissa asked while laughing.
"First John, now Bradley?" Skye said to her sister.
"What's going on here?" Carrie asked her children with an angry tone.
"Marissa scared Gumdrop, Marmalade and Bradley, wait where's Bradley?" Skye said as she is looking for Bradley.
"Bradley?" Marmalade calling him.
"Where did he go?" Gumdrop asked.
"I'm down here." Bradley said as he is sitting on the couch.
"Sorry for that." Gumdrop apologized from the event earlier.
"I better go home now." Bradley said as he stood up and leaves.
"Yeah see you tomorrow." Gumdrop said.
"You're grounded, young lady." Carrie said to Marissa.
"Again!?" Marissa yelled.
"Yes for seducing, Bradley." Carrie said.
(In Gumdrop's room)
"Hey Gumdrop." Marmalade said to her brother.
"Yeah, what is it?" Gumdrop responds.
"I'll tell you something that I haven't told anyone." Marmalade said.
"Okay, go on." Gumdrop said to Marmalade.
"I think Emma has crush on Bradley." Marmalade said to Gumdrop.
"Really how did you know?" Gumdrop asked in curiousity.
"Well I noticed her doing what I did when I got closer to Deejay." Marmalade said with a blush.
"What did you do?" Gumdrop asked.
"That doesn't matter." Marmalade said defensively and trying not to recall.
"Sure whatever you say, sis, goodnight." Gumdrop said to Marmalade.
"Goodnight, bro." Marmalade said as she leaves the room.
Gumdrop changed his clothes and went to sleep.
(6:00am)
Gumdrop woke up with out his alarm clock.
"Oh yeah, there's no more battery in it, at least I woke up without this crap." Gumdrop threw his alarm clock in the trash can.
"Kids! Time for breakfast!" Carrie yelled from downstairs.
"Hey mom, can John stay until tomorrow?" Skye asked her mother.
"Sure, just don't do anything wrong." Carrie said.
"Whatever you, mom." Skye said.
"Good morning, Marmalade." Carrie said to her daughter as she is going downstairs.
"Morning, mom." Marmalade responds.
"How was your project last night?" Carrie asked Marmalade.
"It's finished,mwe just have to submit it later." Marmalade said as she feels that she accomplished something school related.
"What's for breakfast?" Gumdrop said as he goes downstairs.
"Eggs, bacon and pancakes." Gumball said sitting on the dining chair while reading a newspaper.
"Cool, I'm gonna need a good breakfast for my tryout later." Gumdrop said while his mouth is watering.
"What tryout?" Janette asked.
"Tryout for basketball varsity duh, why would I tryout for volleyball?" Gumdrop said with a bitter tone.
"Gumdrop, you don't have to tryout for varsity to impress, Alex." Marmalade said to Gumdrop.
"I-I'm not doing it for Alex, I just want to do something tiring for once." Gumdrop explained while blushing.
"What makes think of that?" Carrie asked her son while cleaning the plates.
"Well, I've been watching Anime too, now I'm not saying I don't want to watch Anime, but I want to do some workouts." Gumdrop said.
"That's good for a change." Gumdrop feeling proud for his son. They finished their meals and dressed for school. They all went outside waiting for the bus.
"Where's Marissa?" Carbon asked Carine.
"She's in a bad mood because mom grounded her." Carine said.
"What did she do this time?" Carbon asked.
"She showed her chest to Gumdrop, Marmalade and Bradley." Skye said behind them.
"Hahaha!" Carbon laughed hysterically.
"Carb, It's not that funny." Sally said to Carbon.
"It is for men except they mostly have boners." Carbon said.
"Bus is coming." Sindy said as she sees the bus going towards them. They all entered the bus and went to their seats. Gumdrop sat next to Alex.
"Hey Alex." Gumdrop greets Alex.
"Hey Gumdrop." Alex greeted him back with a kiss.
"I heard you are trying out for varsity." Alex said.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Gumdrop asked.
"Marmalade said in the internet." Alex responds. The bus stop by the corner and Harper, Bradley, Emma, Gummie and Kylie enters the bus and went to their seats.
"Hey Gumdrop ready for the tryout?" Bradley asked Gumdrop behind his seat.
"Hell yeah." Gumdrop responds.
