8am on Saturday Gumball and Carl stood in the schools hallway. It was club day and this was Carl's next opportunity to ask Tina out. He was very determined which is why he tried again the very next day after the party.
"Ok there she is." Pointed out Gumball.
"Darn. She's talking to Alan. How do we get rid of him?" Asked Carl. Gumball took a moment to think and then came up with an idea.
"Right this is what we do. I'll distract Tina and you blow him away or something." Gumball explained.
"Risky and destined to fail, but I got nothing better."
"Great, lets go." Gumball said and ran of to talk to Tina.
"Hey Tina can I quickly ask you something?" Gumball asked, causing Tina to turn around.
"What is it Gumball?"
"Well I was wondering why you-" Gumballs voice trailed of as Carl came into view out of the corner behind Alan. "Right how do I get rid of him?" He thought. Alan noticed him and turned to greet him.
"Hey Carl, how are you today?" Carl didn't respond, instead he lifted up his pointing finger and looked at his sharp claw. He then turned his gaze to with an evil grin.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Alan asked nervously.
"My sincerest apologies Alan." Carl apologized and popped Allen. Tina heard this and turned around. Carl then quickly used his foot to push the pieces of Alan behind the corner.
"What was that noise and wheres Alan?" Tina asked.
"He must have floated of that silly little balloon." Carl lied nervously.
"But we where still talking, he wouldn't just go away. Its not like him.
"Maybe he went to save some orphans from a burning building, you never know with that guy." Carl tried now dripping sweat.
"I guess I'll go then."
"Wait!"
"Yes."
"I wanted your opinion on something. You see I wrote this poem." Carl said as he held a piece of paper in front of him.
"You wrote me a poem?"
"Yes. No. Well its... I mean." Carl tried but was lost for words. He sighed and looked down.
"I'll be direct Tina. I like you and I think your a great girl and I was wondering if you'd maybe like to accompany me to a movie tonight." Carl finally admitted. Tina was surprised as she never really knew Carl. Every time they came close Carl always somehow disappeared.
"Ok, yeah. I would like to." Tina answered. Carl's expression instantly change to over excitement at the sound of those words.
"Really? I mean great. I'll... I'll pick you up at 7."
"Sounds good." Tina said and walked away. Gumball then walked up to Carl and high fived him, or high three in Carl's case.
"You did it man and you didn't even need that poem." Gumball said.
"Yup, that's two hours I'll never get back." Carl said as he crumbled up the paper. He then remembered about Alan.
"Sorry about that Alan, nothing personal." Carl apologized.
"Its ok, it was in the name of love. All is forgiven." Alan said.
"Masami was right, he is a wet cheese ball." Carl said to Gumball. The two walked of leaving Alan behind simply due to them forgetting about him.
"So now what do we do?" Carl asked.
"Zelmore at my place?"
"Sounds good to me."
At the instituted for young offenders, Darwin stepped into the cafetiere. He now wore black boots with white shocks and allowed a small mustache to grow. He stood in line to get his breakfast, which simply looked like lard mixed with who knows what. He took his seat next to a whistle and across him was white mouse.
"Three weeks and I'm already sick of this stuff" Complained the mouse.
"Just eat it. Its better then going hungry." Said the whistle.
"Sometimes I wounder." The mouse said in response. They were then joined by an unfamiliar face. The mouse got on edge and his whiskers raised up.
"Who are you?." He asked.
"Shut up Chris! I'm not here for you." Said a muscular rhino. "I'm here for the fish."
"Well here I am, so whats your bullshit?" Darwin said without looking up.
"There's still the matter of some cash that was never received." The rhino said. Darwin looked up with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Who is this guy Darwin? And how does he know my name?" Chris asked.
"I know everyone here. And I advise you leave, this is between me and the fish." Chris and the whistle hesitated, but was signaled by Darwin to leave. They then stood up and left keeping an eye on the rhino.
"I'll get to the point. Just because your in prison doesn't mean your of the hook." The rhino laughed at the relevance that has with Darwin, considering that his a fish.
"You have one week to pay us in full, or where going after your brother and little sister." The rhino explained. Darwin was unable to utter a word. The rhino then gave a smile and left, leaving Darwin in shock and fear. His friends then returned.
"What was that all about?" The whistle asked. Darwin however did not respond and this made Chris angry, but not at Darwin, at the rhino walking away.
"Hey man whatevers going on I we got your back." Chris said with a serious look on his face. Darwin nodded and continued with his meal.
Back at Gumballs house, him and Carl where busy playing Zelmore when Gumball received a text. He paused the game and picked up his phone to check the text.
Carrie: What are you doing tonight?
Gumball: I don't have any plans, but I'm open to suggestions.
"Is that Carrie?" Carl asked
"Yes"
"So I assume your 'hangout' went well."
"Yeah it was great."
"Did you kiss her?"
"She kind of kissed me, but I made no attempt to stop her."
"Well that's great news! So are you two dating now?"
"Well, she wants to hangout again tonight so..."
"Ha ha ha. Who knew we'd both have dates tonight? Well maybe you, but I honestly didn't think I'd get this far this fast." Carl said as Gumball received another text.
Carrie: I got two tickets to Daisy Land.
Gumball: I'm in. I'll pick you up at 7.
Carrie: See you then.
"Wonderful. Tonight at 7 the two of us are going out a date." Gumball said, but realized how that sounded.
"Not with each other of course. With girls." He said feeling a bit weird.
"Yeah." Carl agreed with the same weird feeling. So to rid them of the awkward moment they continued with their game.
Note:
Well now whats a drama without things going wrong. Also due to an increase in the amount of work I have, for the time being, these may not come out as frequently anymore. But I'm talking about a two, three day wait.
