Once the hug ended, Jamie then hand gumball the keys, gave him a kiss on the check his mom slapped, and left.
After Jamie left gumball went to check out the rest of the house, which didn't cease to amaze him.
"Man this house is big" gumball said then went to see what the upstairs was like.
Outside Jamie headed back to the bus and boarded it.
"Well it seems the plan was a success" rocky said as Jamie boarded the bus.
"I don't think that's how gumball sees it, I think he sees it as s failure" Jamie said as she sat down in her seat.
"What do you mean? He was able to tell his family off and tell them how wrong they were" rocky explained then started to drive.
"Yes, but that wasn't the plan. The plan was to have gumball hurt Darwin and get away with it, but only half of it worked, and we hurt Darwin, but his family still found out" jamie explained as rocky drove down Elmore high to take her home.
"Well I hope is family understands what they did wrong" rocky said a little angry.
"I'm sure they do, thanks to me" Carrie said coming out of nowhere.
"Carrie? What are you doing here?" Jamie asked confused.
"Making sure my own emo plan I came up with worked" Carrie responded.
"What emo plan?" Jamie asked confused.
"Well I followed you and gumball back to his grandmothers, and on the way, I went inside his head to gather the emotions he was feeling about how his family treated him, then in the middle of his speech to his family, I went inside their heads to make them feel what gumball was feeling, so that they would understand how wrong they were" Carrie explained.
"So you basically gave gumballs family a copy of gumballs emotions of the pain they caused him, in order to make them feel guilty and make them understand that they were wrong and not him" Jamie asked wanting to be assured.
"Pretty much" Carrie responded.
(At the Watterson's house)
The Watterson's were not doing so well, actually, they were feeling pretty shitty about what they did to gumball, and even though they didn't want to admit it, gumball was right.
Nicole was up in her room sitting on her bed with her head in her arms. She felt so ashamed that she let her angry get the better of her, and made her hurt her one and only biological son like that.
I'm scum. Nicole though to herself, then started to cry a little holding the broken ipod in her hand.
"I let my anger get control of me again and this time it made me disown my own son" Nicole said crying in to her arms.
Darwin and anais were in there room hating themselves for hurting gumball.
"He hates us Darwin" anais said in a sad tone.
"No he doesn't anais, he's just a little angry at us right now, but I'm su-" Darwin started but was cut off by anais.
"Darwin he ran away, that pretty much sums up how he feels" anais said on the brink of tears.
"anais I'm sure he just needs time to calm down and then he'll-" Darwin was cut off by anais again.
"You know Darwin there's being optimistic, and then there's being just plain stupid" anais said trying to get Darwin to understand and to stop having hope.
Richard was sitting on the couch in the living room. He was watching the news for any information about gumball.
(On the news)
"And now our top story to night is the disappearance on Gumball Watterson, a young boy who ran away from his grandmothers a few hours ago, reporter Trisha Elric as the story, Trisha" the newsmen said as the screen switched from him to Trisha.
"Thank you john, according to what information I was able to gather it seems that after being slapped by his mom, gumball was kicked out of his house by his family, then after taking refuge at his grandmothers, the family confronted him, and after words ran away" Trisha explained then the screen turned back to john.
"Thanks Trisha, yes that's the story and I'm sure everyone feels just as bad for that boy as we down here at channel 6 news do, or should I say, almost everyone" john said in in an angry tone.
(Back in the living room)
Richard knew who john was referring to, him and the rest of the family.
"Well if Elmorebook didn't tell the world what we did, then this sure will" Richard said annoyed. He just wishes he could talk to gumball to straighten this out.
After the news ended, Richard headed up to bed. Before going to his room he stopped by his children's room to check on them.
Richard opened the door to the room then went in, and head for the fish bowl where Darwin was sleeping. Richard went to kiss Darwin good night, but when he got a closer look, he noticed that Darwin was crying.
Richard felt sad for the fact that his son cried himself to sleep. After placing a kiss on Darwin's bowl, turned to the bunk beds and saw anais sleeping on the top bunk. Richard went to kiss his daughter good night, but when he got closer to her saw she had cried herself to sleep as well.
After giving anais a kiss on the cheek, Richard let the kid's room and head to his bedroom. As soon as Richard was in is room, he saw Nicole sleeping in there bed.
Richard checked to see if Nicole was in the same state as Darwin and anais, and sure enough, she was. Nicole had tears running down her face as well, but she was crying harder then her to kids were. Richard was now feeling bad for his wife too.
After kissing Nicole on the cheek, Richard went and sat on his side of the bed trying to think of away to try and make his family feel better.
"If only I could talk to gumball then maybe we could sort this out" Richard said quietly so he wouldn't wake Nicole.
After a few minutes of thinking, Richard got an idea.
"That's it, I'll just contact gumball via Elmorebook, assuming he's a place to stay and that place as internet" Richard said then went back to his kids room to use the computer.
Once Richard was on Elmorebook, he looked on his friends list to find gumball, only to find that gumball wasn't on his list.
"I guess gumball was so upset that he removed me and probably the rest of the family from his friend list" Richard said than continued. "I hope he didn't block us"
After some searching Richard saw that gumball blocked the whole family except Richard.
"Okay so gumball unfriend me like he did with the rest of the family, but didn't block me like the rest of the family. Guess that means he's only half angry with me" Richard said then began typing.
After Richard was done typing his message, he sent it to gumballs message box, and hoped he would get a reply soon.
"I hope gumball replies to this" Richard said and stayed on the internet waiting for a reply.
(At the manor)
"Man this house has everything" gumball said admiring the giant ass flat screen tv, the computer room filled with 2 dozen computers/laptops, and the slushy machine.
"Um what to do first? " gumball said think of what awesome thing he should try.
"Oh I know, the laptop room" gumball said then head for the laptop room.
Once gumball was in the laptop room, he logged on to a computer, and went to Elmorebook to chat.
"Um a lot of people aren't on right now" gumball said then noticed he had a message.
"I have a new message, FROM DAD" gumball said shocked. Even though he didn't block his dad, he still unfriend him, so it was a little surprising.
(Back at the Watterson's)
Richard was on the internet for 10 minutes waiting for a reply from gumball.
"Man I hope he replies soon" Richard said yawning. He was really tried.
Just then he got a reply in is message.
"I got a reply, then that means" Richard said then read the reply, and sure enough it was from gumball.
"Alright" Richard said excited then started a chat with gumball.
The chat went on for a few minutes until Richard typed something
I want to talk in person. Richard typed waiting for a reply.
Fine, but only the 2 of us and I decide where. Gumball typed.
That's fine with me. Where do you want to talk? Richard typed.
Near Elmore peak, no one will bother us there. Gumball typed.
Okay, that's fine with me. Richard typed.
The chat ended.
After the chat ended Richard grab his cars, left the house, got in the car, drove to Elmore peak.
(Back at the manor)
After the chat ended, gumball went to get ready, but stopped when he saw that Jamie left him a message. He went to answer it.
Hey Jamie, what's up? Gumball typed.
Nothing I was just wondering how you're doing? Jamie typed.
Fine, my dad just sent me a message on Elmorebook saying he wants to talk to me, so I'm going to Elmore peak to meet with him. Gumball typed.
You're kidding? Jamie typed.
No. gumball typed.
He's part of the reason why you're hurt. Jamie typed.
Yes, but he's not at fault as much as the rest of the family is. Gumball typed.
But still I think this is a bad idea. Carrie typed.
Carrie what are you doing on Elmorebook? Gumball typed the question.
Watching you about to make a mistake. Carrie typed her answer.
But how did you know what we were typing? Gumball typed his question.
All raid club members have their accounts connected, so we can read each other's chats, and jump into the conversation anytime we like. Carrie typed her explanation.
Okay well what do you mean by mistake? Gumball typed his question.
I mean you shouldn't go. Carrie typed her answer.
Look it's my decision, so I'm going. Gumball typed then signed out of Elmorebook.
After signing out, Gumball went to the bicycle room Tobias had, got on one of the bicycles and left for Elmore peak.
(Back in the chat room)
Carrie what are we doing to do? It could be a trap, and could be too dangerous. Jamie typed concerned.
Don't worry Jamie, I have a plan. Carrie typed.
(Elmore peak)
After 10 minutes, Richard finally arrived at Elmore peak, and patiently waited for gumball.
Within a few minutes of Richards arrival, gumball showed up, got off the bike and walk towards his father.
"So what do you want to talk about?" gumball asked in a grim mood.
"About what happened between the rests of family" Richard said.
"Nothing to talk about, they never had any feelings for me to begin with" gumball said.
"Gumball that's not true" Richard said.
"Not true, she pretty much disowned me" gumball yelled.
"Gumball your mom didn't mean that" Richard said.
"Plus if I was to go back, mom would probably punch me for slapping/clawing her" gumball said.
"Gumball your mom loves you and would never do that" Richard said to his son.
"Yeah and bet you though that she would never slap me" gumball said to his father in anger.
Richards's heart sunk when he heard that, knowing it was the truth.
"Oh yes she did. I mean who overreacts that way to a stupid comment about a stupid radio show unless they real don't love you, and Darwin and anais feel the same way she does about me" gumball explained then continued "And come to think of it, you didn't even try to defend me from mom"
"Gumball I'm sorry for not protecting you, but you were wrong, very wrong" richard said
"From the way you're saying it, you're making sound like it was my fault" gumball said.
"Well it sort of is" Richard said.
"How?" Gumball asked.
"Well you see gumball, women take stuff men say too seriously sometimes, and what you said about anais radio show that she planned for weeks, and the pushing her, made your mom furious" Richard explained.
"Oh yeah and what about Darwin?" Gumball asked.
"Darwin has ladylike feeling so that's why he took what you said to seriously as well" Richard explained.
"Well dad there's a limit to how sensitive a woman should be, especially to her own son" gumball said.
"Plus theirs a difference between being sensitive and being aggressive" gumball said.
"Even if mom had taken what i said to seriously, that doesn't mean she still couldn't give me a reasonable punishment, i mean a lot of moms do take what tere children do seriously, but still give them reasonable punishments" gumball explained and continued. "so in this case it wasn't her taking things to seriously, but her punishing me to aggressively, which she would have done even with taking anything seriously"
"And plus what gives you the right to try and defend them when you didn't defend me" gumball said furious.
Richard suddenly felt a chill go up his spine.
"Dad the fact that you would defend them and not even try to defend me when I needed you the most, regardless weather I was right or wrong, proves that you really don't care about me" gumball said with tears forming in his eyes.
Richard started to have a guilty feeling come over him at what gumball said.
"And if you had defended me by telling mom not to be so cruel to her own son, instead of lecturing me then I would be home right now" gumball explained then continued. "I guess that means you really don't want me home if you would let mom do all that to me with saying anything"
What gumball just said had Richard almost in gulped with guilt, and had Richard believe gumball was right.
"All you can do is tell me shit to try to cover up your mistakes, and make everything look like everyone else's fault but your own. You have no right to want me home. I wasn't wrong, very wrong, you were" gumball said.
Richard was filled with complete guilt. He should have tried to defend his son better, but he didn't, and that makes him part of the reason for gumballs broken heart. he wish gumball wasn't right, but he was. He had no right to try and get gumball back.
"I knew it was a mistake to come here" gumball said the got on the bike and left.
"Gumball, wait" Richard said then got into his car to follow gumball.
Richard put the key into the ignition, but for some reason his car wouldn't start.
"Damn, what's wrong with this thing? It was working before" Richard said in anger.
After a few minutes, Richard finally got his car started, but by that time, gumball was long gone.
"Dammit" Richard said as he bashed his hands on the horn in anger.
(Back at the manor)
After gumball got back to the manor, he put the bike, in the bike room, went upstairs to his bedroom, and cried into his pillow, until he cried himself to sleep.
(Back in the chat room)
Hey Jamie. Carrie typed after reentering the chat room.
Carrie? Where have you been? Jamie typed curious.
After gumball left the chat room, I decide to go to Elmore peak so I would be there when he confronted his dad. Carrie typed her explanation.
To do what? Jamie typed curious.
Well if it was a trap, to use my possession power to by him sometime, and if it was just his father then, I'd use my emo plan. Carrie typed her explanation.
And which did you do? Jamie typed her question.
The emo plan. Carrie typed then typed what happened between gumball and his father.
I see. I feel really bad for gumball now. Jamie typed after Carrie told her everything.
Tomorrow we should find a way to make him feel better. Carrie typed then exited the chat.
(Meanwhile in a dark place)
What is this place? Nicole asked confused.
HAHAHA.
What was that? Nicole asked as she heard the laughter.
HAHAHA.
Who's there? Nicole asked then noticed a house in the distance.
Nicole walked up to the house and saw her family (except gumball) staring through one of the windows of the house. Nicole went up to her family, and then looked through the window to see what they were staring at.
When Nicole looked through the window, she saw something that made her stomach turn. She saw her gumball laughing and giggling with a bunch of blue cats like him. Two of the cats where adults and to where children.
"What is this" Nicole asked confused.
"This is gumballs new family. He has replaced us" anais said with tears forming in her eyes.
Nicole was shocked by the answer, but continued to look through the window, watching her son enjoying life with these new people. Nicole felt like vomiting.
"This is your entire fault" anais said to Nicole.
"If you hadn't kicked him out then he wouldn't have replaced us" anais said then walked away.
"Yeah, nice going mom" Darwin said to Nicole then walked away.
"You know Nicole, you kicked gumball out so in a way, you asked for this" Richard said to his wife then followed his kids.
"No I didn't want this. I DIDN'T WANT THIS" Nicole cried out loud then kneeled down, put her face in her crossed arms, and then cried unbelievably.
Nicole, wake up. Said a voice.
"Who's that?" Nicole asked confused.
Nicole wake up. Said the voice again.
Nicole then woke up screaming.
"GUMBALLLLL" Nicole screamed after opening her eyes.
"Nicole, it's okay, you were just having a bad dream" the voice said who turned out to be Richard.
"Richard?" Nicole said confused.
"Yes it's me" Richard said comforting his wife.
"It was all a dream?" Nicole said confused.
"Yes it was" Richard said trying to make Nicole feel better.
"So gumballs here?" Nicole asked with joy.
Richards look turned from comforting to sad, then he turned away from his wife. Nicole noticed this and started to get worried
"He's here, right?" Nicole asked worried, but Richard gave no response.
"Richard please tell me gumballs here" Nicole said still worried, but again got no response from her husband.
Nicole gave up on getting a response from her husband and went to check for herself. She got out of bed, put on a rope and headed down the hall to her kid's room until she reached the door.
"It's Sunday, and the kids sleep late on Sunday, so that means gumball should still be in his bed" Nicole said aloud then opened the door.
Once Nicole was inside, she saw there was no one there. There was no one in the beds or the fish bowl for that matter. Nicole was very confused until she her Richards voice from behind her.
"Darwin and anais went out to look for gumball" Richard said behind his wife in a said tone.
Once Nicole heard that, she knew her dream wasn't really a dream, and that gumball really has run away. Nicole then looked at her sons empty bed, buried her face in the covers, and started to cry.
"I didn't want this, I didn't want this" Nicole said as she continued to cry.
Richard went to console his wife, and cried a little himself knowing this was just as much his fault as his wife's for no trying to protect gumball.
(Meanwhile around Elmore)
Darwin and anais where looking all over for their brother, but were unable to find them.
"We looked all over and still can't find him" anais said in a sad tone.
"I hope he's doing alright" Darwin said concerned.
"Considering were the ones that put him in whatever situation he's in, probably not" anais said with guilt in her voice. "How could we let our anger get so out of control and do that to gumball?"
Anais and Darwin continued to look for an hour or 2 longer, but found nothing and decide to go home.
(Meanwhile at the mansion)
Gumball was enjoying the big screen TV that Tobias had while drinking a slushy.
"Man this is the good life" gumball said as he drunk his slushy.
Gumball heard a knock at the door and immediately went to see who it was. Gumball looked through the pip hole and saw the people at the door were none other than the raid club or as he called them, his new family.
"Hey guys, what's up?" gumball asked happy to see his new family.
"Nothing, we just wanted to see you" Jamie said answering for the rest of the raid club.
"Oh well come on in" gumball said inviting his family in.
"So, gumball how are you doing?" Rachel asked.
"Okay" gumball said then retracted his answer. "Actually, I'm not doing too well"
"What's wrong?" Rachel asked gumball concerned.
Gumball then decided to tell his new family about what happened with his dad last night.
"And that's what happened" gumball said finishing his story.
"And you're okay?" Tobias asked concerned.
"Yeah now that you're all here" gumball said happy to have his new family with him.
"Good" Tobias said happy that gumballs happy.
"Man, it's like your family won't stop hurting you until you die" Jaime said angry.
"And that's probably why there looking for you" Tobias said.
"There looking for me?" gumball asked.
"Yeah, probably to hurt you again" Jamie said.
"Yeah probably" gumball said.
(The Watterson house)
Nicole was in the kitchen drink her coffee. She had called in sick, due to the fact that she hadn't slept for work, and she really did feel sick inside, thinking about how much of a bad mother she was.
Nicole and Richard heard the door open, and saw Darwin and anais walk in. there sad faces told them that they didn't find gumball either.
"We didn't find him" anais said in a sad tone.
"I don't think will ever find him" Darwin said.
Richard decides to tell them about him talking to gumball last night.
"You guys I have something to tell you" Richard said.
"What is it?" Nicole asked.
"last night I went on Elmore book to talk to gumball, and tell him I wanted to meet with him by Elmore peak, so we could talk about the situation, but after we got there, all I did was wind up making gumball more angry, and…he ran away again" Richard explained.
The family was shocked.
"Is this true?" Nicole asked shock.
"Yes" Richard said then told them the rest.
(At the mansion)
Gumball was playing some serious Wii games with his new family, and it was a blast.
"Man this is awesome" gumball said happy.
"Yeah, you're pretty good at this" Tobias said trying to beat gumball.
"Yes I am" gumball said winning the game.
"So gumball you're feeling better" Jamie asked as she came into the room.
"Yeah, thanks for everything" gumball said happy.
"No problem, it's the least we can do after what happened to you" Jamie said with pity.
"Yeah, I hope my family isn't still looking for me, I hate for them to find me" gumball said concerned
"hey gumball, what are you planning on doing about school?" jamie asked.
"what do you mean?" gumball asked.
"well you ran away, so it's not like you could go to school anyway" Jamie said.
"I ran away from home, not from school" gumball said.
"So you were planning on going to school even though you ran away?" Jamie asked.
"well yeah, I mean I was planning on getting my schedule changed so that way I would be in the same classes as Darwin anymore, and I figured my ex-siblings won't bother me with the entire school would be on my side from what I told them" gumball explained.
"okay i guess that will work" Jamie said.
"though i really wish i didnt have to deal with them anymore" gumball said annoyed.
"You know gumball, they can't look for you if you're dead" Tobias said with an evil grin.
"What do you mean?" gumball asked curious.
(At the Watterson's)
Darwin and anais were sitting at the table in the kitchen waiting for their parents to tell them of any news on gumball.
"I can't believe I hurt gumball like that, and after everything he's done for me, giving me a home, giving me a family, and being me brother and my friend" Darwin said aloud feeling ashamed that he betrayed his own brother like he did and started to cry.
"Gumballs always been there for me no matter what, and I go and hurt him like that. I may have a big brain, but I obviously have a small heart, unlike gumball" anais said feeling like shit for how she treated her own brother did and started to cry too.
Richard was in the living room watching the TV to see if there was any news on his son's whereabouts, which there weren't.
"I can't believe I let my own son get hurt like that, and I didn't try to help him. I treated him like I really didn't want him here" Richard said then started to cry a little at the thought. After the news gave him nothing, he went upstairs to cry in private.
Nicole was near the window, hoping that any minute, her son would return. she felt sink to her stomach for hurt gumball the way she did.
"I can't believe I let my anger issues get the best of me again, and this time, they made me kick my own son out of his own house, and possibly our lives, forever" Nicole said wishing she never did that what she did to gumball then started to cry a little too.
The family was still shocked at everything Richard told them, and Nicole was very miserable. She had a dream of her son replacing them after her son says he replaced them. She believes her dream was a premonition of gumball soon getting the family he deserves, and sadly believes its not them.
Nicole knew that even if gumball was found, she couldn't force him back. As much as Nicole hated to admit it she knew that there was no hope of their family ever being one again.
"I…failed" Nicole said disgusted at the thought. Nicole then called Richard from upstairs.
"Richard" Nicole weakly yelled calling her husband.
Richard immediately came down, hoping it was news on gumball.
"Yes?" Richard asked.
"Richard, we…failed" Nicole said weakly wanting to vomit at the words.
"Nicole, please don't say that" Richard said not wanting to hear those words even though they were true, then continued. "When the cops find him, he'll come ho-" cut off by Nicole.
"NO HE'S NOT!" Nicole cried; "No he's not."
"Nicole please, I know gumball left us now, but when he forgives us-" Richard started but was cut off by Nicole.
"He's never going to forgive us" Nicole cried.
"He didn't leave dad, we sent him away, WE KICKED HIM OUT!" Anais cried. Nicole took that to heart.
"Anais?" Richard said
"We sent him away and he refused to come back. We punished him a bit too seriously and he took it a bit too seriously. We went too far and now he's never coming back." Anais said unable to hold back her tears.
"I'm sorry Richard if I didn't get so angry with him over something stupid then none of this would have happened, and now I destroyed this whole family" Nicole said crying into her husband's arms.
Gumball, please come home, were sorry. Richard thought, basically praying at this point.
Just then the family heard a knock on the door.
"Its gumball, it just has to be" Richard said happily then him and the rest of the family raced to the door.
Nicole was the first to reach the door knob.
Please god, let this be gumball. Nicole though hoping.
Nicole then opened the door and as soon as she did, her face went from excited to disappointment. The person at the door was defiantly not gumball, but was some man in a suit.
"Yes, can I help you?" Nicole asked curious.
"Hello ma'am, my name is L Lawliet, and I'm with CPS" the man said holding out his badge.
"CPS? You mean child protective service? " Nicole asked shocked.
"Yes ma'am that would be correct" L said as he put away his badge.
"Why are you here?" Nicole asked worried.
"To talk to your son, is he here?" L asked.
The family looked at each other, wondering what they should tell him.
(Back at the mansion)
"Damn, how much more do we need" Jamie asked carrying some ingredients.
"Just a little more than we can start cooking" Tobias said reading the list of ingredients.
"I hope this works" gumball said worried.
"It will, just trust me" Tobias said trying to reassure gumball.
