Chapter 5

At long last, recess came. As everyone rushed outside, Gumball could only think about finding Penny and getting to the bottom of the situation. Upon meeting with her, she beckoned him to the stairwell between the first and second floors.

"So, who is the 'panther' in the note?" Gumball asked as he climbed the steps.

"Guess," she responded once he got to her level, teasing him.

"Is it Clayton?"

"No."

"Is it Tobias?"

"H*ll, no! I can't stand son of a b*tch!"

"Is it Idaho?"

"Try again."

"Banana Joe?"

"Oh, please."

"Alan?"

Nah. If it was, I'd have considerable competition."

"Bobert?"

"Nuh-uh."

"Ocho?"

"Nope."

"All right, I give up. Who is it?

"Here's a hint: Remember the note that I gave you asking you to Rachel's party a few weeks ago? It said, 'Will you be the jelly in my peanut butter sandwich?'"

"Oh, yeah."

"That note and the one from yesterday are about the same person."

Gumball's eyes widened in surprise, astonishment, and joy. "You mean—"

"You're the panther, Gumball."

Gumball, with eyes still wide, slowly walked towards Penny, who followed suit until they were only inches apart. Penny put her hands on Gumball's shoulders, he put his around her waist, and their lips connected, making sparks fly all around them. After ten seconds, they broke apart, smiles beginning to form. Gumball leaned towards the peanut-girl's antler and whispered, "I love you, Penny."

"I love you, too," she returned to his ear. "Now, kiss me, you fool."

Gumball complied without hesitation, feeling the warmth and smoothness of her lips on his.

At that moment, Gumball felt like the luckiest boy in the world. All that he could think about was his new girlfriend and the distant future that he hoped to share with her. Luckily for Gumball, she had the exact same thoughts about him.

PS: If you think that I wrote the kiss scene as though it were some f*cked-up sh*t, cut me some f*cking slack; it's my first time writing something like this. Don't hate.
