Darwin sat in his cell on the bed with his back leaning on the wall. Sadly there was no fishbowl available for him, but then again this was prison and he had more important things to worry about. His roommate Chris walked in and leaned on the wall opposite the bunked beds.
"If your in need of money, there are ways of getting it even in here." Chris stated.
"Whats the catch?" Darwin asked looking at Chris with a slight sour face.
"You have to be willing to take some risks."
"What kind of risks?"
"It depends on how much you need and how fast you need to get it."
"$700."
"That's doable within the time we have, just follow my lead."
"Where do we start?"
"I'm glad you asked." Said Chris with a grin stretching across his face.
Gumball had just arrived at Carrie's house, he made a last minute breath check and decided it was best to pop a mint into his mouth. He then got out, locked the car and made his way to the door. He knocked a few times and waited for a response. The door then opened and Carrie's dad stood in front of him.
"Its been awhile Gumball." He said greeting Gumball.
"A few years." Said Gumball.
"Please come in, Carrie will be down in a few minutes."
"Thank you Mr. Lokowitchk." Gumball thanked him and went inside.
"Please, call me Vlad."
"Alright."
"Take a seat." Vlad said gesturing at the couch. Gumball did as he was told and made himself comfortable.
"I'd offer you something, but all the food and drinks are Carrie's, although I'm sure see wont mind."
"Wait, why?"
"Because only she can eat."
"I don't get it why can she eat but you can't."
"The answer to that is actually quite simple." Vlad started. "You see I was once a man, but became a ghost thanks to that book. Don't get me wrong I regret nothing. We had Carrie before I became the snatcher, so I was technically still a man. Her mom was full ghost and because of this Carrie inherited both human and ghost qualities, the human ones taking longer to develop. This means that she can eat, sleep and one day have kids with a mortal, if she wants." Vlad explained.
"Wow, I guess that makes sense."
"Elmore is a weird place Gumball."
Carrie could then be seen coming down the stairs wearing her purple hoodie. Gumball stood up with a smile on his face ready to greet her.
"Hey there Carrie." He greeted casually.
"Hi Gumball." She said embracing him in a hug.
"Do you have the tickets Carrie?" Her dad asked.
"Yes dad."
"Good. You to have fun now and stay safe."
"Will do Mr. Loko. I mean Vlad." Gumball said taking Carrie's hand and then walking out too the car. Gumball made his way to the passenger seat and opened the door for Carrie.
"What a gentleman." Carrie said playfully. Gumball gave a big smile and went around to the drivers seat. He started up the car and drove off in the direction of Daisy Land. The ride was smooth and relaxing, allowing them to engage in some small talk until they reached their destination.
Daisy Land had all the rides and games you'd expect from a theme park. They were walking along peacefully when the inevitable happened.
"You, over there!" Called out a voice. "Want to win a prize for the lady? All you have to do is knock down these bottles." Gumball looked over to the man and saw a grey wolf with a red T-shirt.
"Gumball you don't have too." Carrie said lovingly.
"Come on, it'll be fun." Said Gumball.
Carrie sighed and gave in. "Ok, just don't brake anything important."
"Lets just see what happens."
Gumball put down a coin and received three balls in return. He picked up one, lightly tossed it up in the air and caught it again. He got in a ready position, took a deep breath, aimed and then threw the ball at the target. The ball pushed through the air with force and hit the table the bottles were standing on. The angel at which it hit caused it to bounce back passing Gumball and hitting a random guy in the face, sending him to the ground. The three looked with concern, but Gumball simply shrugged it off and picked up the second ball.
"Gumball are you sure about this?" Carrie asked still looking concerned.
"Of course." Gumball said lining up the next throw. Again he threw the ball, this time sending it into on of the polls holding up the stand. It changed direction, flying through the air replace the top of an ice cream cone on landing. Not having noticed this, Sarah wanted to take a bit instead of a lick from her ice cream and managed to chip a tooth on impact. A scream of pain could easily be heard from a mile away.
"Kid even I think you shouldn't take that last shot." Said the wolf looking very worried.
"Third times a charm." Gumball stated. He picked up the third and final ball. Concentrating really hard this time, he lined up another shot. He threw it with force and the ball made it to the top bottle, knocking it off.
"Well at least you got one." Said the wolf a bit relieved.
"One more try." Gumball said.
"Maybe later. Like after you've done a few years of target practice."
"Come on Gumball there's so much more to do. Lets go." Carrie said hoping to avoid anymore injuries or damage to property. Gumball gave in, but couldn't help feeling disappointed. He shrugged it off and the two of them continued to walk along. Their next destination was the haunted house. This was something Carrie was curious about, but Gumball second guessed it. He thought it wouldn't help hesitating since he'd just loose against any lovable look that Carrie might give him. They entered the building and the first thing that happened was the lights went out. Distant maniacal laughs could be heard, but the two moved on unfazed by this. A glowing green neon light then lite up several self portraits on the wall. A sudden flash of light then revealed a hooded figure in the distance for about second. Another flash came showing that he was no longer there. They proceeded, Carrie being a bit bored and Gumball only a bit on edge. This was more due to waiting for something to happen then due to what he already saw. They came to a door and Gumball turned around only to notice that the portraits were gone but the glowing light was still there. Carrie opened the door but it was pitch black and nothing inside could be seen. They walked in and the door slammed behind them, causing Carrie to roll her eyes as see started to become annoyed.
"This is kind of boring." Said Carrie.
"I agree."
The glowing light then appeared as a dripping liquid on the walls and the hooded figure then popped up behind Carrie ready to scare her.
"Carrie look out!" Gumball yelled, pushed her aside and punched him in the face.
"Ow! Shit man that hurts!" Exclaimed the man. "I was just doing my job."
"Sorry man, reflex I guess."
"Well your girls nice and safe, now get out of here."
They complied and left the place to see what else they could do. The rest of the night went great for the two. They went on a number of different rides and enjoyed some of the food. This also resulted in Carrie throwing up for the first time as one of the snacks were consumed before going on a ride. Gumball manage to keep some of it down and helped Carrie through this new experience. After all the fun and lose of food they decided to end their date at the park. They made their way too a bench somewhere in the middle next to a tree. Gumball sat down and Carrie sat on his lap and put her arms around him.
"Tonight was great. Thanks Gumball." Carrie said lovingly, staring at the stars.
"I should be thanking you. Your the one who took me out, I just drove us." Gumball said jokingly, earning a giggle from Carrie. She snuggled into him and he put his arms around her, both enjoy this wonderful moment. Carrie then looked up at Gumball and he looked down at her. They then started kissing and this soon turned into making out, which lasted a good long while. After they finished it was that time of the day again, the time to go home and say good night as they depart from one another.
Note:
Just wanted to let you guys know that the next one might only come out at the end of the weekend. These extended waiting periods will go on for the rest of the month, but should ease up sometime in November.
