[The Scene opens to show the TV turned to the news channel. Nicole, Richard, Gumball, Penny, Ember, Ken, Darwin, Anais, Greyson, and Naima were all watching the news as a big announcement had been announced.]
News Reporter: The government has found a cure for cancer, but for some reason, they will not tell us what the cure is.
[Nicole is shown turning the TV off in anger.]
Nicole: What's the point in making a cure if we aren't allowed to know about it?
Gumball: That's like a teaser! They show you a video of the movie, but don't release it for months!
Ember: Gumball, that's a trailer.
Gumball: Same thing!
Ember: Uh, no it's—
Gumball: Anyways, I'm going back upstairs.
[Gumball is seen exiting the living room through the stairs.]
Penny: So, tomorrow's the last day at school. And don't forget we're going to an amusement park this summer!
Ember: I honestly can't wait. This will be the first time I get to hang out all day without being at school!
Darwin: We're gonna have so much fun!
Nicole: Kids, you know we have to go with you, right?
Ember: Oh, Nicole, you always were so funny.
Nicole: I WASN'T—(takes a deep breath) I mean, I have to make sure you're all safe.
Ember: Nicole, I brought your son back to life, what about me do you not trust?
Nicole: (sighs) That's not the reason, but okay, fine. Lose my children and you will be banned from this house, understood?
Ember: No need, I'll keep them safe any way.
Nicole: Good.
Ember: Is anyone gonna check on Gumball?
Penny: I will.
[Penny exits to the stairs and entered Gumball's bedroom, switching the shot to the bedroom.]
Penny: Hey, Gumball.
Gumball: (looks back and then to the computer) Hey.
Penny: Whatcha doing?
Gumball: Trying to use Google to find the cure. Stupid government teasing us. It's not fair!
Penny: Maybe the government did this for a reason.
Gumball: Oh yeah? What reason?
Penny: Well, I don't know the reason, but maybe someone would steal it?
Gumball: If a criminal knows about a cure they're gonna try and steal it anyway, especially if they don't know it.
Penny: Makes sense.
[Gumball continues his typing on the keyboard and Penny walks closer.]
Gumball: Why does the world have to be so unfair?!
[Penny removes her finger out of her ear.]
Penny: Good question.
[Gumball sighs.]
Penny: What's wrong?
Gumball: U-Uh, nothing, nothing.
Penny: Gumball.
Gumball: My friend at school has cancer.
Penny: Who?
Gumball: Alan.
Penny: (gasps) Alan has cancer? Since when?
Gumball: (shrugs) He announced it the other day to me and Darwin, and...y'know, he's my friend...
[Ember then busts through the door.]
Ember: Time for bed!
Gumball: Can't you see we're in the middle of something here?
Penny: Gumball, don't be rude.
Ember: What's wrong?
Gumball: I don't want to talk about it.
Penny: Alan has cancer.
Ember: Wait, what?
Gumball: I meant I don't want anyone to talk about it.
Ember: Hm, yes, sounds like the time when Penny broke free from her shell, you were mad because Patrick was angry, and you were home, you didn't want to talk about it, Darwin talked about it—
Gumball: Stalker.
Ember: What? I'm not a stalker, you are a literal TV show.
Gumball: And so are you.
Ember: I'm going home.
[Ember leaves the bedroom through the window.]
Penny: Come on, Gumball, let's get ready for bed.
Gumball: Okay, fine...
Penny: I'm sure you'll feel better after some sleep.
Gumball: I doubt it...
[The scene fades to the bus where Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Penny all get on the next morning. Alan seems sad, and Gumball sits with him.]
Gumball: Hey, Alan...did you see the news?
Alan: (sighs) Yep...
Gumball: Such a shame...
Alan: Yeah...
[Suddenly, Gumball starts singing softly, with a small voice break.]
Gumball: Tell me how's all that supposed to make me feel better...
Alan: My life's unravelling just like threads pulled from a sweater...
Gumball: There's no sunshine in my future...
Alan: It's gray, desaturated...
Gumball and Alan: Tell me why I shouldn't feel so deflated...
[The scene fades to the lunchroom. Gumball is shown sitting with Alan and Carmen. Carmen, who was really sad, was crying, Alan trying to cheer her up. Gumball was silently sobbing unnoticed.]
Alan: It's okay, Carmen. I'm sure the government will use the cure!
Gumball: It's just not fair. It's a full on teaser!
Carmen: Why do you care?? You're always mean to Alan!
Alan: Carmen, he's fine, we're friends. The past is in the past.
[Ken enters the atmosphere.]
Ken: How does a balloon get cancer anyway.
[Enter Ember, slapping Ken.]
Ken: (rubbing his cheek) Ow! What was that for?!
Ember: (raises her eyebrow) Really?
Alan: It's fine, Ember. Ken has a point, but in Elmore, there isn't really common sense.
Ken: Uh, what about Anais—
[Ember covers Gumball's mouth with her hand.]
Ember: Anyyywayyys, Ken, uh, come back to the table, my food is broken.
Ken: What? How?
[Ember doesn't answer and pulls Ken back and away to their table.]
Ken: What was that for?!
Ember: Stop making things worse, Ken!
Ken: Pssh, I was not!
Ember: We need to help them.
Ken: What are we supposed to do? Break into the medical government headquarters and steal the cure?
Ember: I mean, that works, but I meant more like potion help. We can create a public potion!
Ken: You do you, Ember.
Ember: (scoffs) This is for a good cause, dude.
[The camera cuts to the bus when they are all going home. Penny seems off, and Gumball notices, causing him to switch to her seat.]
Gumball: Penny, what's wrong?
Penny: Nothing, just tired.
[Gumball then places his paw on her forehead. It seemed slightly warm.]
Gumball: Oh, Penny...you're sick...
Penny: (coughs) I-I'm fine...
Gumball: No, you're not. Ember!
Ember: (looks up) What?
Gumball: Penny has a fever.
[Ember scooted over and is shown putting her hand on Penny's forehead.]
Ember: She does. Penny, you need to rest.
Penny: (coughs) I'm fine...really, I am.
Ember: How many weeks are you?
Penny: Twenty-seven.
Ember: Do you feel like throwing up?
[Penny shakes her head.]
Ember: It's probably just a cold.
[Gumball kisses Penny and lies his head on Penny's shoulder.]
Ember: Welp, I get off here today. See ya, Gumball. Feel better, Penny.
[Ember then exits the bus and walks into her factory. She enters the lab room to work on the cure. She put set down some chemo that she bought from the store, and went to alter it so it wouldn't kill the hair. She puts a green substance in the jar and mixes it.]
Ember: Now for a tester...
[Ember grabs her phone and dials Alan's number.]
Alan: Hello?
Ember: I think I have a cure for cancer, but I need a tester. Wanna help?
Alan: Is it for a good cause?
Ember: Yes, it is.
Alan: On my way.
Ember: Great, see ya! (hangs up)
[Alan suddenly appears behind Ember.]
Alan: I'm ready.
Ember: (jumps in a startle-way) AH! Oh, hi Alan.
Alan: Oh, sorry, Ember.
[Ember puts the substance in a needle.]
Alan: Is the needle worth it?
Ember: How else am I gonna get it into your bloodstream? Speaking of which, where is your bloodstream?
Alan: A little everywhere, heh.
Ember: Okay, okay, just, uh, point.
[Alan uses his string to point to a vein. Ember takes the needle and interests it inside.]
Ember: There we go. Go to the doctor and get a check-up. Let me know if you're cured.
Alan: (nods) No problem! Thanks, Ember!
[Ember nodded as the scene faded into the Wattersons' house. Gumball was rubbing Penny's back as she sneezed.]
Penny: Ugh, I feel like crap.
Gumball: (frowns) It's okay, my angel, I will make sure you feel better.
[Ember jumped into the bedroom through the window and smiles nervously as Gumball, Penny, and Darwin glares at her. She dusts off her clothes and looks at Gumball, Penny, and Darwin as she greets them.]
Ember: Hey, Gumball, Penny, Darwin.
Gumball: What is it with you and my window?
Ember: I do not know what you mean.
Gumball: (sighs) Nevermind.
[Ember's phone rings. She picks it up and answers it.]
Alan: Hey, Ember! I'm cured! No more cancer! Thank you so much for the cure.
Ember: That's awesome! It's my pleasure!
[Ember hangs up as everyone else glares at her.]
Ember: What?
Gumball: Who was that?
[Ember takes a deep breath.]
Ember: Alan's cancer free!
Gumball, Penny, and Darwin: Hooray!
Ember: You're welcome.
[Gumball hugs Ember.]
Gumball: Thank you so much, Ember.
"Cut!" shouted the director, "Great job this episode."
"It was a pleasure doing this," Ember said, "Especially with it being a reality show."
"Everything is always unexpected," Gumball replied.
Penny coughed again, followed by sneezed.
"Alright, Penny," Ember remarked, "Let's go to the doctor. Gumball?"
Gumball nodded and held Penny's hand as she stood up.
At the doctor's office, Nurse Laura, a wrapping bandage, came in the room with a clipboard. She had already drawn Penny's blood to find out what the matter was.
"So, what's the problem, doc?" Gumball asked, still worried and shaking.
"She's got a cold, and the baby looks healthy. The gender is detectable."
"Put the gender in an envolope so we can have a reveal," Penny requested. The doc nodded and walked out.
A mysterious figure crept into the MK factory, crushing everything by eye with a bat, starting with the cancer cure.
"I will destroy you, Ember."
One week later...
"I can't wait for this date, Penny!" Gumball exclaimed, "I'm so glad you're not sick anymore."
"Me, too, Gummy," Penny smiled, before looking behind them. Gumball turned around and then back to Penny immediately.
"Ah, Rob!"
"Gumball."
"Yes?"
"What did I say last time?"
"But he's my nemesis!" Gumball noted, "What's he getting?!"
"A robber mask."
Gumball gasped, "Ee!"
"Now he's getting a kniifffeee okay, we need the police."
"No, no!" Gumball argued, "He went really kill me! Who would be hate then?"
Penny rolled her eyes, "Okay, now he's getting glass-proof clothes."
"I guess someone wants to break into my window."
"Probably Ember," Penny said, jokingly.
"Ember doesn't hate me," Gumball reminded her.
"Now he's going toward the exit."
Gumball took a deep breath and ran up to Rob, "Hey, Rob!"
Rob turned to see him smiling awkwardly, "No, we're no longer nemeses. I found someone else to hate. I can't tell you the name. Just know it's not you."
Gumball gasped, "Y-You WHAT?! B-but we were supposed to be nemeses forever!"
"Sorry, I guess we just...drifted together again..."
"Come on, Gumball, we don't want to get into that mess again," Penny said, picking her frozen boyfriend up and walking off.
"Gumball, why does this matter, why do you want Rob to hate you?"
"Because it feels weird with him not hating me!"
"That makes no sense."
Ember entered the room, again through the window, and glared at Penny and Gumball arguing.
"Did I come at a wrong time?" Ember asked, pointing to the window, "Cause I can always leave."
"He's mad because Rob doesn't hate him anymore."
"This again?" Ember asked, "Who is he hating now?"
"He never said," Penny said.
"Hmm..." Ember thought aloud, "I'll go stalk him for you."
Gumball nodded aggressively, "Please do!"
Penny shook her head, "No, don't—and they're gone, okay."
"Right into my trap."
Ember and Gumball entered the factory, but gasped when they saw the mess.
"My potions!"
"This had to have been Rob! He bought glass-proof clothes earlier! And a knife!"
"That little jerk!" Ember shouted, "SHOW YOURSELF!"
Suddenly, a clapping sound came from a dark hallway, revealing it to be Rib when he came into the light, "Hey, Ember Jade. Gumball, what are you doing here?"
"We were originally gonna spy on you to see who this new nemesis is, but I guess we should run now," Gumball replied.
"Not this time!" Ember shouted, pushing a button that released lasers. Rob dodged the lasers until they were all on, making his way to Ember.
"You're not going to get anyway with this, Rob!" Gumball yelled.
"Oh, but I already have. I ruined your potion factory and your cancer cure!"
"Yeah, usually when a villain says 'Oh, I already have', they usually lose," Ember said, clapping a signal to someone behind Rob, who hit him with a fire extinguisher, "Told you."
"We need to fix the factory, and get him out of here!" Gumball suggested, "We also need to put a Rob-proof filter."
"I have a filter for everyone," Ember said, smiling as she touched a computer and clicked Rob-proof.
"I will destroy you and everyone you love!" Rob threatened, waking up from the unconscious sleep, "You just wait and see!"
"You're under arrest, Robert!" yelled the donut cop.
"MY NAME IS ROB!"
Ember and Gumball looked at each other and laughed.
"How are we going to clean all of this up?" Gumball asked as the cop took Rob away.
"Teamwork, Gumball. Teamwork. That's the real cure. I helped the government with the cure. The cure was actually just Friendship. Anything can be cured with friendship. Or at least in this dimension."
"And you didn't tell me?" Gumball asked, about to rage again, but he stopped himself, "Thanks, Ember."
"Now let's get this place cleaned up!" Ember exclaimed, holding a small broom and dust pan.
"Right with ya, Ember," smiled Gumball as he took the dust pan and broom and started sweeping.
