She let her right paw cover her stabbed her stomach from taking out blood. She looked at Gumball and she knew that she needed to get out, she went to the window. She tried hitting it again with her left since she is trying to stop the blood that can end but most likely end her life. She could feel the world closing in, in its presentence of a being could be so could, yet so dark. She continued to hit the window one more time, and then she let her left hand go of her wound. As the blood goes to the window from her delicate paws that have immune herself from rage. Her paw was bleeding all over and it seemed useless, and then Gumball goes over to her. As he's walking slowly, cherishing the death of his own mother, this was to be a very tragic and personal death that would occur in Elmore. Gumball went pressing himself onto Nicole and raised his hand and then stabbed her between her hips. She screamed in such agony like there was no tomorrow, but in her position, there was no chance of another day to live. Then he quickly stabbed her again and again there. Her left hand stayed and was beginning to clench her fist for no hope of anyone to be safe, she has failed him and herself. She has failed as a parent and as a person to be with society.
Behind the double mirror, there came back the chief and Drew Smith, one of the first detectives assigned to talk to Gumball, but his partner, Trey Meyers, did it instead. He considered him brave for what he was up against. A psychopathic mastermind that was able to get to your mind and figure out your history. Especially at a young age for anyone to master in such an ability to get into the victim's mind and tear them apart. "So do you have the court's order to proceed with the trail?" "Yes and…" Drew turned to see the double side mirror from the interrogation room "Oh shit". He runs over to the window and sees Nicole bleeding to death in the hands of her own son, Gumball. "Chief, go get help!" The fellow pink doughnut went to go for help. He goes to the door, but is unsuccessful to open the door. "Shit." He kept struggling with it. "Fuck!" He heads back to the window, yelling Nicole's name with all the air he had in his lungs. He put his right hand at her hand with the window. He knew Nicole from high school, because at that moment, a simple time with Nicole was made towards a flashback.
-Flashback-
Drew was at the locker room, with all the other jocks. They were all excited from winning a game that was against a rivalry between their high school and the opponent. Their opponent won 4 times in a row for the championship of high school. Their high school, Elmore High, was against Ashville Metro. This game was gonna mean a lot them since bonds would and has shed from their game. They won the game, 15-13, with Drew getting the touchdown. It was a proud moment for him; he was treated as a superstar. He would be living the life, but there were people who saw through his fame and popularity. Nicolette Watterson saw through that and she saw him as an uncaring, idiotic, and just plain selfish. Though he remembered that they only talked, once. It was a sunny day for anyone to being outside, just so calm. Drew was walking through the park, nothing much to do for him and not for him to do. It was pretty simple since there was no practice and he was free to do whatever he pleased, but there was nothing for him to do, he was free to do whatever he pleased, but there was nothing for him to do.
He decided to go under a nice shady tree, though when he found the perfect tree for him to rest under; little did he know that there was someone else there. When he rested by his back, a pencil fell to his head. He felt a sudden hit his head and he looked down to see a wooden pencil and as to his suspicion he picked it up. He crouched down and picked it up and looked up and saw no one there. Then when he looked down, a sky blue feline popped up out of nowhere. She was known as Nicolette; usually she was mostly considered the school's slut because of so many types of incidents. Though she didn't like to talk about those certain type of things since she had enough problems in her life for someone to remind her of the "horrible" things that has happened to her. "That's my pencil you have there." He looked to his hand and yet he already forgot that he has her pencil in his hands. "Oh, sorry Nicolette." He handed her the pencil and she yanked it from him as if she had no respect for him, which she didn't had much respect for anyone since she believed that no one gives a damn about her.
She later went back up, but when he turned back, a white sketchbook fell to the ground. Enough that caught his eye, but he wondered if he should grab it and give it to her, but he soon got his answer when she came back down. She went behind the tree and became to draw a sketch, but she was quite busy and he couldn't his eyes of what she was trying to draw. He looks over a couple times, but he doesn't leave. Some reason he felt the need for a companion, even if it was with her. "What are you drawing?" She thought that he had left long ago, while she was drawing, and she was surprised that anyone caught interest, even it was with "him". "I thought you would have left like the rest." Drew looked down at the drawing and got better view of it. "Well I just thought since you 'are' an artist, I just got curious. I guess." She didn't like that answer for it to even be a response for her question. "What makes you think I'm an artist?" "…Because of your image and your sketch." She didn't quite understand what he meant by "image", but her sketch was something simple though. It was a phoenix, in its moment of being released into the visual world for others to be seen. "What do you mean my image?"
Drew knew he had to be honest with her, since it has been a label since as long high school began for her. "Your look, basically. You are kinda the school's slut. Though I don't think that's you." She turned to him and gave him a dirty look with a bit of a smile. "You called me a slut." They both laughed at that remark since it was only to be teased to each other and not to be taken seriously. He then sat next to her, down to her level. "Look…I'm sorry if I offended you by that." "Don't be. That's just how the world sees me." She said it in just plain sadness and shouldn't even be taken as a joke for others to even be aware of it. "Well you're not to me. Not anymore." She turned to him for a sign of a bit of hope for this girl. "Look Nicolette-" He was then cut off by her. "Called me Nicole. I'd prefer it for you to call me that." He witness a true smile from her and he had a feeling that she was giving him trust because no one has called her that except for two people named Richard Watterson and Oliver Fitzgerald since those were people who still cared about and don't see her as different as others. "Okay…Nic-hole." She laughed a bit of that remark. That was the only time they ever talked, until an incident occurred and he was forced to be separated from but he knew that they would see each other, one more time.
-Police Station-
As he was witnessing Nichole, dying right in front his eyes, he knew that he had to save her. Gumball then met eye and eye contact with each other. They kept neutral looks, until Drew gained an angry look, but with Gumball, he smiled ever so sinister like. He then raised the bladed, Drew gained a much worried look, and then he banged in the door to stop what Gumball was planting to do to Nichole. Gumball then pulled Nichole a bit back and then sliced her and blood squirted out a diagonal direction. Nichole fell to the floor, bleeding away. Drew couldn't stand there and be helpless and he went back to the door and went back couple steps and then he kicked the door. Nothing at first until he laid another kicked and then he slammed himself to the door to be busted open. When he did, Gumball went quickly and then punched him and he fell to the floor. Then Gumball grabbed his head and jabbed the knife into his neck and the blood poured itself when it lower his head and Gumball had at with 6 more stabs to the neck. He started to get red eyes, blood rushed through his mouth, face was turned to a whole new color due to its pressure, but Gumball then slowly sliced his neck.
Gumball then walked out the room and headed, not to the exit, but a different direction of the pink doughnut headed to. The pink doughnut headed to the artillery room, he went to over and busted the glass door that sealed shotguns for the police squad. He grabbed a shotgun and headed for ammunition, but when he loaded the gun, out appeared Gumball. Gumball frightens him and he accidentally shot the light in the room. He kept a steady position of self defense that if he happened to get him, he had a great chance of saving himself from Gumball. It may have been dark, but he was trained to protect himself, but it never came to occurrence that he was forced to be defending himself from a 12 year old psychopathic murderer. As he lurked around, to see if he can save himself from a painful and bloody death. He walked slowly and headed to the door slowly and quietly. Then when he touched the door knob, that small and quick second sealed his fate. The lights turned on and he turned and Gumball had in his hand a loaded shotgun. He shot him and it got him at his right arm, which blood squirted through the walls and the arm was barely intact with the body.
He reloaded and shot him to his left leg and his knee cap was busted and he crouched a bit down seeing his leg was nearly shot off. Blood quickly and rapidly spurted out and the chief heard a click of the shotgun, once again. He slowly looked up and Gumball let go of both hands and used his right to aim perfectly to his forehead. "Goodbye…old friend." Then he pulled the trigger for his final blow and it caused the chief's head to exploded and he went through the door, breaking the glass window on top of the door and fell to the floor to the room that has been connected to what was behind the double view mirror. Gumball then walked towards the room and walked with the shotgun still with his hand, covered in blood. Gumball maintain a neutral look on him, though he looked at the room and saw that it had contain many information that has been connected to many incidents that have concerned and connected with Gumball. He then looks around with flies piling towards him and saw a stack of files that he decided to explore with. He went over and grabbed one file and saw it titled "Classified" and as he opened it, it showed a picture of Penny.
He continued to read on of what was in that file. As Gumball read what was in Penny's file, only angered him of what they wrote in it. They wrote that Gumball and Penny were love interest, as also known as relationship between each other. Gumball grabbed on the file and started to crumble it, the file, by his fist on each end to it. Then he closed it and ripped it in have and continued to rip it in halves until he threw them in the trash. Gumball grabbed all; the paper and threw them in the trash, which to him was the floor, and spotted a nearby lighter and had a good idea. Very malevolence, maybe to you, but be warn that he doesn't see no evil or good. Not anymore, at least. He burned the first piece of fire and then when it grew bigger, he threw it to the floor. It didn't grow, but then he spotted a beer bottle. He suspected them drinking on the job, but for once to him was a good thing. He went over and checked inside of the bottle and saw still liquor and his grew cold blood red to him. Malicious red eyes grew to concerning that evil was just beginning. Those murders were nothing until you have witness what Gumball Watterson, a more psychopathic rage has been released.
A female cop, somewhat of a blue rabbit and what was shown as a bear of some sort. As she came inside the room, she then spotted the fire, though Gumball was nowhere to be seen. She then rushed to the fire extinguisher, but when she turned to get it, it was nowhere to be seen. When she turned back to see the fire spreading more than ever. She also spotted the end of the fire extinguisher and was hit hard by Gumball. She fell to the floor and the fire was rising, but then Gumball clenched down to her level and opened her fragile and yet so delicate mouth. He stuck the flow of the fire extinguisher and then took out the pin and then pressed quickly to the flow of such much white foam and yet so deadly toxin and has been used to stop fire, but also kill us, the living beings. She woke up from that deadly breathing and her eyes started to puff and started to choke on those toxin fumes. She could feel the poisonous power of its unfaithful rage of demise but it wasn't going to end for her. At least, not like this. She received, yet another hit from Gumball's fire extinguisher. She started to bleed from her forehead and let more of her blood flow slowly but she kept wishing, constantly wishing, she had already died.
This may have happened in such short time, but it wasn't supposed to end so quickly, but Gumball intended to seal her fate. So he grabbed her by the legs and carried her towards the fire and let her body on what was going to burst more farther than it should. As she was starting to feel the temperature rise from her cold body, yet she was going to feel warm, Gumball should know. He then walked out and saw the narrow hallways and saw the chief's door. He used his elbow and busted the window. He went inside and walked directly to the desk. He searched each drawer and found a weapon that can be a use to him, besides his trusty knife. He pulled out a revolver, what was strange was that it was a snub nosed. Though Gumball grabbed the gun and loaded it with 6 bullets. He then locked it and walked out with the gun in his hand. He was about to enter the main entrance that would lead to the inside and outside of the police station, though Gumball was prepared, not just with weapons, but with more to pack with. He walked into that entrance and spotted the receptionist working, not evening looking. He took out the revolver and pointed at her. When she turned and saw Gumball, a bang went off and blood nearly splurged the whole wall.
Gumball, as his heart kept a steady pace of state. No rushing or even slowly down. It was maintained. Gumball then heard policemen coming, so he acted fast and quickly disappeared from sight. As 5 policemen came rushing in, they looked from left to right and what they saw, terrified the young rookies. "Oh my…" The young rookie said, as he rushed to see the fellow co-worker, known as the receptionist, shot her, at her forehead. He hoped her to see if there was a chance for her being alive, so he went over the desk from the front and bend over to check for a pulse, but nothing. He slowly turned to his cadets and gave them the news. "She's dead." Though at a certain surprise, Gumball came from behind and grabbed him from behind and jammed the rusty knife, deep with his veins. Blood quickly squirted and went to Gumball whole face. His fur was gaining the color of crimson red and much darker and deeper tone to this mayhem of this unspeakable act of injustice. The other 4 police officers took out their loaded pistols and were prepared to shoot on target. Gumball pulled his victim and went out of the desk and took out the loaded pistol and used the rookie that blood was quickly coming down from his neck and all the way to the floor.
He went towards them with the body intact and they start to shoot at him. They shot relentlessly to the rookie's body and Gumball just shot 3 times. As each shot of Gumball's gun was shot, he killed the officer while in total they landed 3 bullets to the body of the poor rookie. Blood splattered with the fellow cadet. He shot one officer in the head, the other by his vein and caused him to die faster by his vein having a thicker flow of blood coming out. And the last one was shot by his ear, might have been a miss, but he was one the floor. Gumball threw the body or what was left of the fellow rookie. He was shot for multiple times left the poor body, even with blood couldn't finish him, and was immediately blasted with skins covered in multiple bullet wounds. Gumball knew what his position was on this. He walked and left the lifeless and bloody body at the floor, along with the other dead ones. As he walked into wherever he went, Nicole was still laying a pile of her own blood and was on the floor.
She was on the floor. She was considered by many names. Whore, slut, bitch, idiot, and other sexual frustrations that can really get under the victim's skin. Nicole's hand was still covered on her neck. As she was sliced from her neck and was by her, own son. But by her, own words, he wasn't her son. No but as someone that has taken her down to a low level, but in her opinion, it was the highest level she will ever reach in life. And it was. She was paying the ultimate price for her sins and she was a diehard hero. She was ready to be released to either heaven or hell. Though she had failed Gumball and so many others. Though her hand that was deserted, twitched and she clenched her fist. She was getting up and held her hand on the neck wound that was driven into her neck from Gumball. As she is limping for her life, she sees such pain inflicted by Gumball's will of endless torture. She went passed the door that led from behind the interrogation room. She saw a burned body, still in a pit of fire. Smoke was starting to increase.
Nicole walked through the narrow hallways, but started to hear screams in her head coming from various directions. Why did this happen to her? Where did she go wrong in being a parent all of a sudden her son is an evil minded, psychopathic, murderer? The answer to that was that there was no end. This begins at Penny's house, but how did she know? This could have happened so early when Gumball was just a merely, small, infant and didn't know better. Nicole went through the door and fell to the floor. Meanwhile Gumball is looking for people around in the cell blocks. He didn't see anyone, but was quickly ambushed by a rookie cop and he put the handcuffs onto Gumball's right hand, but he didn't know, but he handcuffed Gumball to himself. Gumball grew a sinister smile. The rookie was now gonna feel REAL pain. Gumball head butt him and later he fell to the ground feeling pain and Gumball grabbed his left hand and cracked the rookie's arm. He screamed in such agony. Gumball ran and threw him to the metal bars that held prisoners, in and out.
They did a good job of keeping them inside, from that big impact of sound of the rookie's back hitting those metal bars and he felt without a doubt, not a very soft landing. Gumball picked him up and punched him, back and forth. Gumball thought about gaining the keys, but instead thought this perpetrator needed to learn a grave example of what Gumball was capable of doing. Gumball took out his knife and went over to the unconscious body. He went by his back and he put the arm that was attached to his up in the air. He stabbed the arm by its shoulder. He continued to carve through that arm. The rookie was feeling every second of that. As blood rushed through his eyes and face, it left him in a bloody pace of his own blood. He continued to scream in such suffering and frustration of which he was helpless. A large pond of his, own blood was starting to form. The rookie tried yelling for help, but what was the point? They were in a police station and this psycho has basically killed a lot of them and for Gumball, it was too little. Gumball stopped the carving, which the rookie saw it as a good thing, but it wasn't. Gumball quickly rushed and tore off the arm. He screamed and screamed.
It was mayhem of this. He screamed and blood squirted through and it was burning smoke and it wasn't pleasant. Gumball then saw him crawl for freedom. He thought it was pathetic for this fool to even think he can escape Gumball. Gumball walked over and stopped on his head. It left a massive crack to his skull and nearly broke his jaw off. Blood was slowly crawling itself out through the edges of his ears and nose, along with the ears. Gumball stopped again and again, until his jaw completely snapped off completely and his skull blasted out its brain through every hole found in the human head. Gumball walked more to his advantage of being a demon in hell, to cause untold misery to any soul that came in contact with him. Nicole was dying. She crawled and crawled to the door, but it was no use. She left a massive trail of her own blood, and yet she's alive. God hates her to let her live this long and endorse this despicable act of humanity. Nicole gave up, like she always had. She was never a winner and yet she kept thing that because it was something her life was unable to accomplish. Nicole stopped and closed her eyes, hoping it would be over. As the smoke rise up to its height of the bowling depths of hell, the door opened. She looked up and she couldn't believe what she saw and was sure it was a hallucination.
It was Oliver Fitzgerald, he looked around to see the massacre from his own eyes and looked down to see the near dead, crawling, Nicole. "Oh my god, Nicole!" He crouched down and saw if she was alive, her being was still, very much, alive. He grabbed her and put her from his shoulders and ran out the building. He ran and he rested her to the side of his truck. He laid her there; she was with, without a doubt, a face of blood. The crimson red blood flowed through her eyes and between her ears. Blood was coming out those fragile ears and immediately through the mouth. Nicole barely had her eyes opened. As she opened them she saw Oliver, he called out to her to see if she was okay, but she did something she wanted to do. She needed to do this if she was going to die that moment. She laid both of her hands to his face, blood stopped coming out her vein. Her white shirt was filled with bloodlines of her red cells of what we call blood. He skirt was covered of her blood from her crawling as with her feet. As she rested her hands, he started to cry, but she leaned in and kissed him. He deserved that kiss, for what he has done for her. In high school and life now. They may have had rough patches in the past but there were silver linings as well.
He didn't pull her away, he loved her. He always had. Though after a while of this everlasting kiss, she slowly pulled away, but she saw something from behind him. It seemed to be coming at him, her vision was going away, but then it came clearer, but she wished it hadn't. It was Gumball, with him grabbing a knife and had something else in his hand. It appeared to be a bag, but couldn't tell from her view point. She started to fear this, but when Mr. Fitzgerald turned, he faced the fate of his desire of brutality. Gumball stabbed the knife, deep within his shell. He jabbed it in further and he started to bleed through his mouth, eventually his eyes. Gumball moved his hand as freely as he can when his blood compressed towards the shell and slowly drip to the floor. Gumball kept stirring his hand with the hand deep in his stomach; Gumball has disemboweled him from the inside. Then Gumball took out his hand and Mr. Fitzgerald fell to the ground, without a sound. Nicole stared at his body, he was dead. He was really dead and soon she will too. Gumball went over and grabbed Nicole's feet and dragged them closer to the police station and was in front of the police station and it maintains its distance from it. Nicole watched Gumball; he raised his blade as high as heaven would be.
Nicole didn't saw it as the end, for she had no beginning, so an ending wasn't possible. Gumball then stabbed as quickly as a pistol firing its first bullet. When he did, she screamed in such pain, but no one could hear it. The police station blew up, from the fire. It exploded and the fire continued to spread. Fire bursts through the windows and wood blew apart from the building. Gumball continued to stab and stab. Nicole died after the first five stabs. Gumball continued to stab since he felt it wasn't enough. Gumball then arose and then stabbed the knife, deep through Nicole's forehead. Blood was releasing, even after death. Nicole's eyes never closed. Gumball leaned closer to her soaking in blood body; he leaned his hand and closed her eyes. Even in death, he paid his respects to her. Gumball walked away from the body and Gumball grabbed Mr. Fitzgerald and grabbed the bag and put it in the back and drove away. Fire blew through the air, but Nicole was finally in peace. But did she deserve it?
-The Next Day, Courtroom-
Today was a day of remembering those they have lost in the past. Gumball's case was proven to be one of the most extremist cases of them all. Because of him, Carrie, Nicole, Anais, Mr. Fitzgerald, and others died. Especially with the one whom he started with. Penny Fitzgerald. Now the day, to prove Gumball guilty was here. After the police station was blown up, all evidences were destroyed and had no connections to others. Nicole was found with the knife, but the prints were cleaned slated, making it impossible that he killed her. Though the only one that can stop Gumball's charges was Penny. Her body was found missing, but they may have enough evidence to put away Gumball and when they find him, he will not be treated easy. "This court is now in session." The judge said while banging his gavel. As that rested, this was now going to determine everything now. After hours, they placed the evidence they had and tried to prove Gumball guilty. This was all done in a day and after that the verdict came with a decision.
"Has the verdict come with a decision?" Said the judge. "Yes, your honor." The person who stood for the verdict was Richard Watterson. He had the answer; he was strong about this whole thing. Losing his wife and now he has the answer that will determine the decision of his son to go behind bars. "We here your honor find the defendant, Gumball-" As he was about to say the answer he was interrupted. "NOT GUILTY!" They looked and saw someone, but due to the brightness shown, they couldn't see who it was. "And you are?" The judge said. The person came forward and said "My name is Penny Fitzgerald." Many people turned; after time passed they have heard this poor girl, Penny this and that. How was she alive? How come she didn't come out sooner? Why she come out now? "Don't play with us little girl, she is presumed murdered." The judge said. It was at that day, the day that stunned the people around. Many people didn't understand what was happening. "The body that went missing wasn't the real one! It was a fake." The judge seemed more confused at this moment.
"Well how do you explain all that has occurred then?" "Easy. And I'm going to prove to you and everyone else that Gumball is innocent." They couldn't believe it. Penny was alive. Back when Mr. Fitzgerald was actually Penny. She was now going to prove Gumball, the boy who supposedly killed her, innocent. She explained to them that Gumball was actually protecting her from Tobias, the real culprit who was behind this all. Tobias was going after Penny for quite some time, so Gumball was later overdosed with a drug Tobias has injected with him that caused severe brain damage that allowed him with a large amount of knowledge and later lead him to kill those who oppose him. She stated the drug, that was given to him was Tysabri. The drug caused his brain to have no control and no mercy to his victims. The effects mastered his mind of psychology to a new level of fear, when she revealed that Tobias is the one who should be arrested, not Gumball.
She was later called to the stand. They asked how did this all happened and why did this happened of this whole drugged incident. All she could say was she had issues with Tobias in the past and Gumball was protecting her by faking her death. Tobias wanted her dead, but couldn't release the reason. He injected the drug on Gumball and he had no control left. She came out now because Tobias was turned up missing and she found it a chance to avoid the wrong person being charged with crimes they weren't responsible. They reviewed the case and with enough time, they were able to realize a new turn of events. Penny was asked if she wanted to press charges on Gumball either way, but she didn't press charges on Gumball. The verdict pleads Gumball not guilty but was now insane. They did request a search for Gumball in order to stop the drug and give him intensive treatment. Penny felt proud of what she did, until something else came by. "WE GOT HIM! WE GOT GUMBALL!" They showed Gumball with a face piece and were handcuffed. "We found him outside with the body of the local builder's truck by the name Fitzgerald." Penny turned to that remark. She was Fitzgerald. She ran outside and had to see it to believe it. She saw blood from the truck and there was a body from an open door on the left side. She ran towards it and saw it was him. Mr. Fitzgerald's body was beaten and bloody. Blood was coming out his eyes and mouth.
Penny started to cry, but then ran back to the court. As she is running, SHE felt like killing Gumball. When she burst back in Gumball was with the policemen who grabbed him. She ran and pushed him to the ground. She jumped on him and started to hit back and forth. "WHY!? YOU BASTARD!" She hit him back and forth, but when she was beating a police offer saw on the floor that the cuffs are on the floor. He went over to Penny and grabbed her from behind and Gumball took out his blade and stabbed the officer's shoulder. Penny kicked him off, but when he got back up, it was the end. The other police officer pulled out his gun and shot Gumball three times in the chest and then giving him a fatality shot in the head. Gumball fell to the floor without a sound. Penny rushed over to him; his cold blooded body was covered in three bullets that started to bleed through his body. His head started to drip his head and allowed to make a small puddle around his head. Penny held him close, she hated him, but she also loved him, he was dead. Gumball Watterson was finally dead, the nightmare was over.
-The Next Week-
One week has passed since one of the most shocking tragedies has ever hit, Elmore, most of all the country. It impacted many people's lives. After a week of investigation, they uncovered many things. Tobias's prints were also connected with Mr. Small and even found a message saying to come to insist him of his crime. Some of the murders kept confidential were later recovered and revealed many of the murders were to protect the citizens and revealed about 20 children that have occurred in the past year, many weren't even in the Elmore district. Though they revealed to the public that Anais, a 4 year old, was involved with police work and was commanded to the chief, the pink doughnut, but due to his death, no charges can be placed on him. Tobias was still declared missing to the new chief, with no records of him leaving but was placed as missing and charged with attempted murder. Though Mr. Small was charged with murder in the first degree and with cases of child pornography, many including Anais, Jamie, and several students who remained silent and asked to not be shown.
Though after the funeral of Nicole, she was declared a hero to Elmore. The only ones who didn't show to her funeral were the dead ones. In the present, Richard is on his couch, looking at past photos with her. With Nicole gone, Richard searched employment at the Rainbow Factory, which he was accepted for a good position that wouldn't require him to work a lot and still get a good amount of money to support the family he had left, Darwin. Richard wasn't happy anymore. He looked through the photos of his wedding with Nicole in her wedding dress; he remembered that incident with Gumball. He saw a family photo of when their family became whole. It had Gumball, Anais, Darwin, Nicole, and Richard there for a good family portrait. He cried a couple times and he wiped them off. Today, Darwin was at school and he had the day off, Richard just needed some time to get himself together. He flipped the pages and it would bring back family moments. What did he do wrong as a parent?
Richard heard someone knocking on the door. Richard closed the book and went over, he kinda look like someone you didn't want to disturb. He opened the door and saw that it was Penny's mother. "Hello Richard." Richard had a bit of sad and sleepy look. "Hey Annette, how's it going?" She saw him; he looked like as if he finally hit rock bottom. With all the pranks and damage inflicted on him, this was the one that brought him down the most. "I-I just came to check on you." "That's very thoughtful of you, but I'm okay." Though she wanted to talk to him with his loss, but she too lost Oliver, she needed someone to talk to. Someone who knew what she was going through and that was Richard. "Do you mind I can come in?" "Not at all, come in." He widens the door to his side and made it clear she was welcome. She walked in and sat down on the couch and saw the book. "What's that?" Richard closed the door and walked over to her, by the couch. He sat down and grabbed the book and laid it, in front of both of them. "It's a picture book of many memories with my family." She looked in Richard's eyes and his just was facing the book.
She saw depression and sadness. Take a man's son; you truly have given him nothing to live for. She opened the book and the page she landed on was Nicole and Richard's wedding. Richard didn't mind, but she saw a picture of him carrying Nicole on that day. It was the happiest day for both of them, Nicole and Richard. She decided to flip the page, seeing as it was giving him pain. She flipped to a high school day with Nicole, Richard, Oliver, and Annette on the beach. "You still have this picture?" Richard looked and he remembered that day. It was the first day that the 4 really connected to each other. The first day of Spring break, Nicole and Richard were together and Oliver and Annette were together. One day they got bored and decided to go to Beach Phoenix, it was a calm and very peaceful beach. When you get there, you truly have understood life. The water wasn't cold or warm, but a good amount to just make you want to jump in. Many people have created unforgettable memories. Richard smiled after remembering that photo. "Yeah…the first time we all hung out." Richard closed the book and put it on the table.
Richard turned and asked if she wanted to drink and she said yes. He got her a drink and they sat on the couch, together. They reminisced about their lives, Richard with funny stories of past shenanigans and Annette with stories of past friends when they used to do pranks. She never was much of a talker, but with Richard, that's a different story. "Any you know what happens next?" Annette said to Richard. "What?" "She stomped on it and got poop on her foot. I swear that created that prank for decades."Ha-ha!" Richard literally lost it, though she just loved his laugh. It reminds people of a simple, yet happy time in the past. "Hey Richard, can I tell you something?" "Sure." She took a big breath and let it out slowly. "If you never dated Nicole, I would go out with you?" Richard's jaw dropped. "Nah." "No. Seriously. You were always so sweet and you never were afraid to be yourself. I guess that came down with Gumball and why Penny was head over heels for him." Richard kind of felt a bit sad after hearing the name, Gumball. He just didn't want to hear that name.
"Well…I'm not sure why you like me." Richard said, with a bit of getting himself down. "Many reasons, you were fun, funny, charming, cute, out there, and-""Wait! Did you say 'cute'?" She stopped with her heart going a bit faster. "I-I don't how to answer that." "Just say yes or no." She looked a bit down on herself, but she raised some courage. "Yes." Richard was taken off guard from that. "W-When do you think that?" "8th grade." "The grade you and I first met?" "Yes." Richard didn't know what to say. "Why didn't you say anything before?" "You were with Nicole and I couldn't get a chance, I was always your friend." Richard felt a bit down on himself for that. "Annette, I was your friend and you could've told me anything and I can still-" He was interrupted by a sudden kiss by her. He didn't push her away, but instead let it happen. That kiss changed all.
-1 year later-
After a year since the tragic incident, Richard and Annette began dating, soon they became married. Darwin, Penny, and her sister became a family. One big happy family. Annette sold the house and moved in with Richard. They lived together and got along. One night, Penny and Darwin sleep in the same room. Penny slept on the top bunk, because she didn't want to be where Gumball slept. It would bring back memories. Darwin slept in his fishbowl. Though Penny was talking to Darwin, just a causal night time talk. "So I guess that it with me and Rachel. How about you Penny?" "I haven't been seeing anyone." Darwin tried to get to know her a bit better since they were step brother and sister. "Not really." It remained silent for a while. "Darwin, can you keep a secret?" "Sure." "I'd always knew you and me would be family, but not in the way right." Darwin turned to Penny. "How did you think we would have been family then?" "I'd pictured me and Gumball getting married and you would be my brother in law, not step brother." Darwin knew she had feelings for Gumball, but not that deep. "You actually considered marrying Gumball?" "Yes, but that's the past."
Darwin then got out the fishbowl and told her to come down to Gumball's former bed. She did but did sit on it. "Penny, did you know what Gumball always tells me?" Penny nodded in that she didn't know. "He would tell me that he would do anything to make you his girlfriend. He was crazy for you. I never saw anyone in such crazy love like Gumball. He was something until that day." Penny knew what he was talking about, but rather not discuss about it. "Yeah, but why didn't he tell me?" "Because he was scared. Scared of rejection. He thought you would always shoot him down and was so scared that you would say no." Penny was shocked that Gumball was scared of that. "I wouldn't have said no." "I know, but Gumball didn't." Penny didn't feel bad at Gumball; she felt that even before Gumball was crazy or whatever he was, he was still the same boy that was scared of this. Penny then sat on the bed, the first time. Darwin head for his fishbowl, but she stopped him. "Darwin, can you sleep with me? Just for tonight." "Sure." He headed for the top bunk, but she said not that one, the one on the bottom. He went over and they both slept together in the same bed, but Penny went over and hugged him. "Thank you for being my friend and brother." He hugged her back and they slept peacefully that night.
-The next morning-
Penny woke up from that sleep and she saw Darwin. He was still next to her. Then she heard the voice of her mom calling the kids for breakfast. She woke up Darwin and they raced down like they were kids. It was Saturday morning, not a better day can happen. They ran to the table and there was Richard reading the newspaper, correctly this time. Melisa, Penny's sister, was there; Annette was making some coffee and had set up some pancakes with eggs and bacon. Penny and Darwin went over to eat their breakfast and were peaceful. Richard had no day of work today, so he was able to stay with the kids and have a family evening. They enjoyed each other's company and Penny and Darwin were like the best of friends. Though nothing could seem to ruin it. While Melisa was watching some on TV, it was interrupted by an important news broadcast.
"We interrupt this broadcast to bring you some very shocking news. After a year of one of most stunning murders in the history of the world, Elmore police officials have finally won the right to make use of Gumball Watterson's corpse, but after this year long battle, revealed something most terrible. As it seems to be Gumball, it was later revealed to be Tobias, a culprit a part of the 'Sleep Child' case and this case as well. The body was revealed to used with the skin suit, used by Steven Small. The Sleeper Child will be explained. More about it at 9." Said the TV reporter. Penny overheard that, she didn't believe it. Then the phone rang and she walked over and answered it. "Hello." "Hello Miss Fitzgerald." That was Gumball, she recognized that voice and she hung up the phone and couldn't believe it. She fell to the floor and Darwin went over to check up on her and she screamed in fear. Gumball has responded to her and now he may get the whole family. She fell to the floor and was shocked.
-Chicago, Illinois-
"So that's the Sears or Willis tower?" Said Jamie. "That's the Willis tower now." Said Teri. Jamie and Teri were at Chicago for the weekend. When Nicole dropped Jamie off, she went to Teri's house. Jamie revealed to Teri about her feelings for her about what she's been through. Teri fell in love with her and they first hung out as friends, but one thing led to another and they became a couple. They are going one 5 months. They walked over with their families who called them out and they walked with a crowd emerging. Though a man in suit was following them, he kept following them around until he stopped and took off the glasses and in his hands was a blade. It revealed to be Gumball. As he followed them, they were never heard from again, nor from Gumball. As laughs grew loud for some, his laughs were never silent. Then it created silence towards many others and many believe to have reason that Gumball never said it before. He never said "I killed Penny Fitzgerald". Though will he ever do so?
