Continuing from where Prudence finally confessed to Gumball of who she is, Gumball finally got his ears wide to know her secret. The doe whimpered, finally revealing her secret to Gumball
"I'm not Prudence Fitzgerald. I am Penny Fitzgerald, I'm the beautiful doe!" Gumball is surprised that Prudence Fitzgerald is Penny Fitzgerald all along
"You're..." Gumball recalled the name to the whimpering doe "Penny Fitzgerald?"
"Yes, yes I am" Penny finally confessed to him with tears of ecstatic because he finally understand that she is hiding herself from him all along
"Penny Fitzgerald" Gumball recalled again as he hugged her romantically "I thought I could never see you again"
"I do too, Gumball" Penny replied "Because I don't want you to know that I'm a female deer" he stopped hugging her, smiling because the doe he is hanging out all along is Penny Fitzgerald
"Penny. Why are you afraid of hiding your body from anyone else?" Gumball asked a few questions to her "Is it because someone will laugh at you?"
"It's true" Penny answered, felt ashamed of not telling her secret earlier "I don't want to let everybody know that I'm a female deer. Especially you, Gumball"
"Penny, why would I laugh at you if you're most interest girl that I've ever met?"
"Because I don't want to let anyone know I'm a laughing stock" Penny, now a doe, tells her flashback about her body without a shell "It started before I was made fun at elementary. I used to live without my shell, it was cool and a beautiful exciting day to see my neighbors. One day, when I first go to elementary school, a boy bullied me like 'I'm a doe with antlers.' Most boys and few girls make fun of me because they thought "I'm just a living girl with antlers." Antlers are somewhat a boys' feature for deer, but I was born with it."
"That's why, my family made a life-sized peanut shell. The shells we wear are a family heirloom because no one may know what species are we, I too was also wearing it because I thought this will help me to prevent bullying me. It worked and I decided to wear it for my life until my dad ran over me, that is where you found out my secret about my body without a peanut shell" after her story ended, Gumball realized the story about
"So, that's why you don't want to know you are a doe" Gumball summarized the reason why Penny isn't showing her beautiful body "You've been bullied in Elementary, right?"
"I know" Penny remembered and said about her downfall about her peanut shell "After you're gone yesterday, something went wrong about my shell"
Penny's Flashback (Penny's POV)
-Elmore Hospital, 3:45PM-
I was worried I told to Gumball about my alter ego. My sister offered me a bottle of water because I was thirty as the bandage doctor came in for diagnosis
"So, is there any injuries my daughter suffered?" My father asked to him
"We have good and bad news" The doctor said the good news "Your daughter's pelvic injury caused a minor effect on the bones. Your daughter will be fine by the next day"
"What about the bad news, doctor?" I asked to him
"We can't fix your shell, Miss Fitzgerald" The doctor replied, I can't believe my shell is broken and it cannot be fixed
"But why, doctor?" My mother asked, worried because someone will make fun of me "Is there something wrong about it?"
"The shell can only brace a severe accident like her recently. The only solution is to remove your daughter's shell so we can fix it without any hassle" the doctor's idea made me worried about my body without a shell
"Penny, are you naked without your shell?" My mother asked to me
I noticed I was wearing clothes, it is green and blue shirt, and orange skirt. Gumball reminded me about wearing something without my shell, it was a relief but I hope Gumball
"No, mom" I answered to my mother, then turned to the doctor "I was wearing clothes while I was with Gumball and Darwin. How long will it take to fix my shell?"
"Unfortunately, apart from the time you make the shell, it will take a month to fix it" Doctor answered as the bad news went worse "Are you okay without it?" it was a hard decision, I frowned and couldn't decide if I can live without my shell or not
At the end, I decided to live without it because the doctor will fix my shell someday
End of Flashback (Third Person View)
-Fountain Square, 4:00PM-
"The doctor told me about my shell" Penny started crying because her shell can't be fixed fast "It can't be fixed for a week, I have to live without for a month. I'm a horrible person, Gumball" ashamed for Gumball who knew her downfall, Gumball started being honest and kind to Penny
"You are not a horrible person" Gumball comforted her fears "You're beautiful and special just like me, I've tried saying to you about a long time"
"That's not the point, Gumball" Penny asked to him about something he can't answer "What if the doctors can't fix my shell?"
"Don't be dramatic, Penny. They will fix your shell, I know it will. I was made fun too. Look, I was born with an ugly face before the doctor fixed my ugly face. I was also made fun at elementary before I meet you, just because I have a big head doesn't mean anyone will just hate me by bullying"
"What do you mean?" Penny asked to him honestly
"I don't care if I'm going to say 'You're a doe with antlers' or just make fun" Gumball explained as he is about say something "You're more than a best friend I can count on you. I want to confess something, Penny"
"Sure, Gumball. What is it?" at first he can tell to Penny how he feels, but without her shell, he feels nervous and stuttering for words
"Look..." Gumball finally confessed with "Penny Fitzgerald, I love you!" she gasped in ecstatic because her friend loves her so much, she wasn't expecting it
Gumball felt embarrassed about his confession to her. Penny blushed and hugging him romantically as they are now more than friends forever, Gumball smiled for her friend to understand his feelings
"I love you too, Gumball" Penny whispered after hugging, Gumball is going to give a gift to Penny but he has another idea
"I have something to give you. It's a-" Before Gumball finished his sentence, Penny the doe kissed him (Lip-on-lip) without any fear on her mind. Gumball wasn't expecting her kiss too, so he kissed her back and savor together

"Why is my sister kissing Gumball?" Penny's Little Sister to Molly as the couple stopped kissing without even seeing them
"I don't know" Molly answered normally, letting her go away from them to have their moment "You'll know it when you grow up"
"At least, the two are having a romantic time" the small peanut smiled while the girls passed by Darwin and Carrie, telling about Gumball and Prudence's/Penny's Romantic Time
Darwin and Carrie saw Gumball and Penny staring each other romantically as they interrupt
"That's a great time, you two" Gumball and Penny heard Carrie, turned to the goldfish and the ghost "What a great first kiss you two have, Prudence"
"It's nothing" Penny said, now getting up to go home "By the way, I'm not Prudence. I am Penny Fitzgerald" Darwin and Carrie laughed in realization, at least they're not making fun of her
"Dude, you convinced us that she is another girl?" Darwin asked to his brother
"It's not about my plan, she made this up" Gumball answered his question "You guys forgive her, right?"
"Why would we say no? Of course we forgive you, Penny" Carrie forgave to Penny as they are heading home "Come on, Let's go home" as they are walking home, together with Darwin and Carrie, Penny and Gumball smiled each other holding hands together
"I was so happy about how Gumball knew that I'm a doe. Even if I don't have my shell, I can still be myself" Penny thought, learning a lesson about the whole story. It doesn't matter right now whether she is Penny Fitzgerald or Prudence Fitzgerald, she can keep her alter ego... for now
