"Ok, so I talked to Hector's mom and she said she can make us a potion to get rid of these weird side effects and turn us back to normal." Darwin said. They had just gotten out of the polluted lake and were debating what to do next.
"What? I don't want to go back to normal!" Gumball said "do you know how cool it is to be able to read people's thoughts? I could read Ms. Simians mind and know all the answers in class! I can read Penny's thoughts and know exactly what to say to her! I can read mom and dad's thoughts and know how to get out of trouble! Now tell me that isn't cool."
"I dunno, it seems like more trouble than it's worth." Darwin said "what about when everyone eventually finds out?"
"No one's going to find out." Gumball said, confidently.
"Gumball, I know you, at some point you're going to slip up and accidentally answer someone's thoughts. Then they'll figure out you can read minds and they're going to tell someone else and before you know it the whole school will know. I don't mind you reading my mind because I haven't kept a secret from you since the whole video thing, but I don't think other people will like it, and they're probably going to be really mad at you when they find out."
"I'll make sure no one finds out, and besides even if that does happen at least I'll get to use my cool new powers for a little while."
"Ok, you go do that, I'm going to have Ms. Jotunheim make a batch of the potion for you for when this inevitably goes wrong." Darwin said. Gumball wasn't worried, being able to read minds was so cool, why would he ever want to get rid of it?
