Chapter 2 Scare
Gumball's parents didn't seem to notice that Carrie had possessed his body when she left the house with Darwin. Either that or they didn't mind. They were probably just happy that Gumball was getting out of the house. Carrie could feel Gumball struggling to regain control as she and Darwin rode the bus. It was no use though. She had become a lot better at maintaining control when possessing someone over the years.
Once the bus had arrived in town Carrie and Darwin got off. Carrie prepared herself for the worse as she flew out of Gumball's body. Gumball coughed for a while before turning to glare at Carrie.
"What the heck are you doing?!" Gumball yelled at her furiously. "You can't just force people to do what you want when they say no." he shifted his eyes into the direction of Darwin. "And you, why didn't you do anything to stop her?"
Darwin looked down on the ground, trying to avoid eye contact with Gumball.
"Look Gumball," Carrie said gently, trying to calm him down. "He didn't do anything because he knew what I was doing was for your own good. You really need to get out of the house and have some fun."
Gumball stared at her for a while before pinching his brow and let out a breath. "I'm going home." he said as he turned towards the bus stop.
Darwin walked next to Gumball and place one of his fins on his back. "Look dude I am sorry but since you are here, you might as well hang out with us. After all," Darwin turned his head towards Carrie and gave her a smirk. "You don't want Carrie to possess you all day just so you stay out of the house, do you?"
Carrie, realising what Darwin was trying to do, floated in front of Gumball and gave him a mischievous smirk. She wasn't planning on possessing him again but the fear that she might do it may be enough to make Gumball not want to argue with them for now.
Darwin's plan was obviously working as Gumball's face was starting to go a bit pale as he saw the look on Carrie's face. He let out a sigh and said, "Alright I will hang out for a little while."
Carrie and Darwin gave themselves a mental pat on the back before the three of them made their way through town, Carrie leading the way.
After a while of them following Carrie as she floated through town, occasionally stopping to look down alley ways, Gumball eventually got fed up. "Where are we going?!" he yelled impatiently, "If we are going for a walk then I could have done that in the garden at home."
Carrie ignored him as she continued to float on a head, looking down alley ways. Carrie eventually stopped when she found what she was looking for. She motioned for Gumball and Darwin to stand against a wall and peek their heads down a particular alley.
Gumball and Darwin looked over to see a few teenagers that looked a couple years older than them, all dressed in black, talking among themselves. A couple of them were smoking even though they looked too young.
"Are they your friends Carrie?" Darwin asked.
"Hell no!" Carrie said with a look of disgust on her face. "Those are the type of kids I hate. They think they're rebellious by smoking and dressing like that when they are alone. However, the second they go home or are in front of someone they know they will dress and act completely different."
"Then why exactly are we here, staring at them?" Gumball asked with a deadpan look on his face.
A smirk slowly appeared on Carrie's face. "We're here because we are going to scare them."
Gumball and Darwin's mouths flew open. "Are you crazy?" Gumball whispered as loud as he possibly could without anyone noticing them. "Those guys are at least a couple of years older than us. There is no chance I am taking the risk of getting beaten up by a bunch of older boys. Even if they are not as tough as they look, like you say, which I think you have no way of knowing. , I don't think it is worth the risk."
"Relax Gumball," Carrie reassured, "These guy will do nothing to you. They will be too busy running away by the time we are done with them. I guarantee that you'll enjoy it as well. There is nothing more satisfying then scaring a bunch of guys that think they're all that."
Gumball and Darwin stared at her for a while without saying anything.
"What?" Carrie asked getting sick of them just looking at her.
"You're a little twisted aren't you?" Gumball said.
Carrie blinked at them before a smile appeared on her face. "A little, yes."
Gumball let out a sigh before saying, "Look, I just don't think it is a good idea."
Carrie was about to say something but Darwin cut her off when he said "I'll do it." Carrie and Gumball both looked at Darwin with surprised looks on their faces. Neither of them expected him to volunteer for something like this.
Darwin then looked over at Carrie and asked, "What do I do?"
When Carrie saw the look in Darwin's eyes she knew what he was trying to do. She floated next to Darwin and whispered something into his ear.
When Carrie was done giving him instructions, she floated in front of his face. "You got all that?" she asked. Darwin gave a nod and Carrie flew into the wall of the building they were standing in front of to get into her position.
Darwin turned to walk down the alley but Gumball put his hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.
Darwin turned toward Gumball and gave him a smile. "Don't worry dude. Carrie's right, everything will be fine." he then brushed Gumball's hands off of his shoulders and took a deep breath to relax himself.
Darwin then ran into the alley. "What are you guys doing here?" Darwin asked with panic in his voice.
The group of older teenagers looked startled by the sound of a fish with a high pitch voice suddenly talking loudly at them.
"What do you want kid?" one of them said, his voice now trying to sound intimidating.
"You shouldn't be hanging around this alley. Don't you know about the ghost?"
The teenagers looked among themselves, obviously not believing him. "Get out of here. We're busy." another one of them said as they all turned their backs to him.
"No really," Darwin insisted, as he walked up to them. "They say that one of the two buildings on each side of this alley is haunted but this ghost doesn't just haunt the building. It haunts outside the building as well, including this alley."
"I said get lost kid." said the same guy who talked earlier. One of the other boys however put his arm on his shoulder.
"Wait a minute," he said as a concerned look slowly appeared on his face. "I have heard that a lot of strange things go on in this town. I have even heard of ghost living among the people here."
"Why didn't you tell us that? It was your idea to come to this town." another one of them said.
"I didn't think it was actually true."
Carrie smirked as she watched through the wall above them. It was now time to do her part. She flew into a light that was on the wall and possessed it. She began flickering it on and off.
Darwin notice the light and realised Carrie was ready. "Oh no, it's here." Darwin said as he pointed to the light.
The kids looked up. Most of them looked concerned but one of them started laughing, all be it nervously. "That's your ghost? A flickering light?"
Carrie then made the light explode which made the boys jump. She then flew down through the wall and possessed one of the trash can, violently shaking it before tipping it over.
'It's now time to really scare them,' Carrie thought. She flew up into the air above the teenagers and gave a roar with her scary face.
"Oh no, it's too late." Darwin said as the teenagers stood there unable to move. Carrie then flew into Darwin's mouth and he began shaking violently, before he collapsed to the ground.
"H-hey," one of them said looking really concerned for the little fish. "Y-you ok?"
Carrie, now in control of Darwin's body, snapped his head up and said as evilly as possible, "I am going to eat your flesh."
The teenagers screamed and went running out of the alley way. Carrie flew out of Darwin and the two of them began laughing.
"Oh man, that was so much fun." Darwin said.
"Yeah," Carrie agreed. "That was way more fun than when I do it myself." they continued laughing for a while, before they noticed Gumball was making his way towards them.
"Well, what did you think?" Carrie asked.
"Meh, you guys did ok I guess." he said nonchalantly. "If I was the one doing it with you Carrie, then they would've passed out."
Carrie smirked. Looks like Darwin's plan of showing him how much fun it was to get Gumball to want to participate worked.
"Then how about we go find some new targets for you and me to scare?" Carrie asked.
Gumball gave a nod. Carrie then lead the way to find there next target.
"Ok, you remember what to do?" Gumball asked Darwin. He gave a nod and left the alley way to go get there next target. Gumball looked over at Carrie and said, "Get into position."
Carrie gave him a thumbs up and flew into one of the walls. Gumball now alone, jumped into the nearest dumpster and closed the lid. He was going to show them how to really scare people.
Gumball waited for a while before he heard, "So this is where you heard something creepy?"
"Yeah, there is something dangerous down here." said a voice that Gumball recognised as Darwin's. Gumball lifted up the lid to the dumpster slightly to see them. They looked similar to the kids that Darwin and Carrie scared earlier, except they weren't shaking at the first sign at something creepy.
The group that Darwin had brought slowly made their way into the alley way. Gumball hoped that none of them opened the lid of the dumpster he was in or the final part of the plan would be ruined.
Luckily, none of them did. They just walked down the alley, looking up and down the wall on either side. They all turned their attention to the fire escape for the hotel that was on the left wall.
"Are you sure you didn't just hear someone making noise in there room?" one of them asked.
"No," Darwin insisted. "There is something spooky here."
That was the signal. Gumball looked up to see one of the lights explode above one of the hotel room windows.
"What was that?!" Darwin said, pointing to where the noise just came from. The group of teenagers looked up to see one after another of the lights outside the hotel rooms explode. A couple of them looked startled.
Before they could say anything, Carrie flew as fast as she can from one wall to the other, in between the group.
"What was that?!" one of them yelled, as they all started to panic. Carrie flew in between them a couple more times before she flew right above the group and roared. The group screamed and Carrie flew into the dumpster that Gumball was in and started shaking it violently. She did this for a while before she stopped and floated in front of Gumball's face.
"You ready?" she asked. Gumball gave a nod and Carrie took possession of his body. When she had full control, she jumped out of the dumpster and landed on Gumball's feet. She growled at them, which caused the group to shake.
"Run for your lives!" Darwin said as he began running down the alley way. Carrie chased after him, making Gumball run on all fours like a tiger. She pounced in the air and landed on top of Darwin. She made motions that would look like from behind that she was eating Darwin. She then turned Gumball's head around and said, "You guys are next."
The group fled for their lives. Carrie flew out of Gumball and began laughing. Gumball and Darwin got up off the ground and joined in.
"Ok I admit, scaring a bunch of wannabe's is fun." Gumball said through his laughs.
"I am glad you like it because we're not done yet." Carrie said as he motioned them to follow her.
"Oh man, that one guy was so terrified, I was convinced that he was going to faint," Gumball said, as he, Carrie and Darwin laughed at the back of the bus. They had spent so much time out scaring people that it was now dark. It was worth it though in Carrie and Darwin's minds because of how happy Gumball looked. At least for now, his mind seems to have been taken off of the break up.
The bus suddenly stopped. Carrie looked out the window and noticed that it was her stop. Carrie turned around to Gumball and Darwin and said, "Well guys, it has been fun. Seriously, I don't think I have ever had more fun scaring people then I did today. Have a good weekend."
Carrie turned around to leave the bus when she suddenly heard Gumball's voice call her name. She turned around to face Gumball.
"Thanks for today," he said with a smile. Carrie smiled back and floated through the bus.
