It's a beautiful night in the town of Elmore.
The Watterson parents were in the hospital after Richard had previously indulged some fiberglass.

"Will he be okay?" Nicole was worried.

"Your husband will be fine, Mrs. Watterson." The Doctor said. "As I said before, his stomach is made of steel. Literally."

"And do NOT touch that fiberglass anymore, Mr. Watterson."

"I'll be fine!" Richard ensured to the Doctor that everything was in good care.
Nicole and Richard were getting ready to go home before a white flash suddenly came before them.

The world went white and everything was gone. The two were all alone in an abyss of brightness. Nicole's heart nearly stopped when everything suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?!" Nicole panicked, but Richard went completely nuts.

"AAAAAAAAAHH!" Richard started to have a childish breakdown. "I WANT MY MOMMY!"

"RICHARD, RELAX!" Nicole slapped some sense into Richard. "If we stay calm and think, we can figure out what's going on."

"..." Nicole couldn't think. "WE'RE STUCK HERE FOREVEEEERR!" Nicole screamed out loud.
"WHAT CAN WE DO?!"

Suddenly, a search engine appeared behind Nicole and Richard titled "ELMORE SEARCH".

"E-Elmore Search?" Nicole said. "Isn't that the Internet?"

"HUGE BOLOGNA SANDWICH WITH MAYONNAISE!" Richard was on top of the search bar yelling out loud, when text appeared.
The text was exactly what Richard yelled out. He then hopped onto the Search button and the two got results.

"Say HELLO TO PAPA!" Richard ran after the bologna sandwich images and began to eat.

"Wait a minute..." Nicole began to think properly. "If we can search the Internet..does that mean the world became the..No, no, no..I-It can't be!"

Nicole started to deny the reality that they are in the World Wide Web. "L-Let me try something."

Nicole yelled out into the search bar. "MY LOCATION!" Nicole found out that her approximate location is in the Internet. "Oh my word.."
"Richard...we're in the Internet!"

"Really? So I can do whatever I want?" Richard replied. "ICE CREAM LAND!" Richard yelled out into the search bar.

"I can't believe it." Nicole said. "We're actually inside the Internet!"

"IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Richard started making snow angels in ice cream land images.

"So...how did we get into the Internet?" Nicole said. "And how do we get home?"

Gumball, Darwin and Anais had already figured out they were in the Internet World some time ago.

"So, now that we're in the Internet, what can we do?" Gumball said.

"How about try to find out way home?" Anais said, in a scared manner.

"Nah, we can make a new home here!" Gumball said.

"What about Mrs. Mom and Mr. Dad?" Darwin said. "What do we do without them?"

"Darwin." Gumball said. "Imagine being able to browse the Internet."
"Unmonitored."

"Yep, that's my call to get outta here." Anais tried to run off, but was stopped by a wall. "What the?"

"So...we have nowhere to go? What can we do?" Darwin asked.

"What can we do, Darwin?" Gumball became serious. "WHAT CAN WE DO?!"

"We can do anything." Gumball said.

"Yeah, but where do we start? All we've done so far is use Google Images and found some nasty results about us..." Anais said.

"Don't get me started on "Darwin the Hedgehog"." Darwin had a chill.

"Let's dox somebody." Gumball said. "Nobody can stop us, we're technically not physical."

Darwin and Anais gave Gumball an angry stare.

"What? If you oppose me, I'll just google a cartoon bazooka and launch your brains out." Gumball felt high and mighty compared to them with his newfound internet life.

"We really have to get home." Anais said. "Where will we sleep?"

"We can sleep on some furry forum or something." Gumball said. "We'll fit right in!"

"Gumball, what do you think Penny is thinking right now?" Darwin said to Gumball.

"P-Penny?" Gumball started to worry. "My beautiful Penny?" Gumball started to tear up like a baby.

"Is that excuse enough for us to go home, now?" Anais said. "I'd rather sleep under warm covers than solid text."

"Tell me about it." Darwin replied. "Seeing "Darwin the Hedgehog" is one thing, but sharing the same air with it is another."

"So, let's find a way home." Gumball decided to lead the way. "Locations to Elmore, California!" Gumball shouted into the search terms.

"WHAT THE?!" Gumball yelled. "404 NOT FOUND?!" Gumball was extremely angry.

"Great. Now we gotta find a place to live!" Anais said. "I certainly will NOT sleep with that fanart of ours."

"Well, we have so many fan-fiction children and spouses that they'd probably let us crash with them!" Gumball said.

"If I wanted drama, I'd watch Degrassi." Darwin said. "Not a DeviantART user."

"I HAVE AN IDEA!" Gumball said in an excited manner.

Nicole and Richard were traveling the Internet, looking for a place to stay.

"Richard, honey, did you find any nice places we can stay in?" Nicole was stressed. "I found a nice hotel we can stay in for the night until we look for a way home."

"Yep!" Richard was excited. "We can stay in Candy Land!"

"C-Candy-" Nicole was stupefied. "RICHARD! We're not gonna live on a board game!"

Richard smacked on Candy Land pieces. "What do you know? The kids taste more like candy than the cardboard candy does!"

"RICHARD..." Nicole became angry. "Didn't the doctor JUST tell you not to eat things like that?"

"No doctor's gonna push ME around on no Internet!" Richard replied and ran off into Candy Land.

"Richard, we are NOT going to stay in Candy Land." Nicole said, as she grabbed Richard. "We're staying in the hotel, and that's FINAL!"

"Ohh, come on!" Richard acted kiddish. "We can probably find a nice, warm bed in the gingerbread house over there!"

"RICHARD!" Nicole yelled.

Gumball, Darwin and Anais found a Japanese Capsule Hotel in Google Images and decided to reside in it.

"Hey, these pod hotel thingies are really neat!" Gumball said.

"Yeah,", Anais said. "We're so small that the three of us can stand in it."

"I like this." Darwin said. "Now, if only there were some way to eat Japanese Cuisine..."

"I'm not going back into images..." Gumball stressed. "Remember what we saw when we searched for the term "Hotel Japanese"?"

"Oohhh.." Anais moaned. "Those images of lewd, giant girls the size of the hotels made me cringe all the way to Netscape."

"Yeah..." Gumball shuddered. "After all, i'm too lazy to get up from this comfy bed."

"Hey, Darwin. What's that on the TV?" Gumball looked behind Darwin to see an Anime airing on the TV.

"It's so cutesy." Anais looked at the TV. "What is that?"

"It's a Japanese Cartoon." Darwin replied. "Press info, what is it?"

Gumball pressed the info button on the remote. "Love Live School Idol Project? What's that?"

"Change the channel, it looks dumb." Anais said.

"I don't know. The girl with light brown hair and yellow eyes reminds me of Penny." Gumball said. "She's pretty cute!"

"Oh gosh they're dancing in CGi all of a sudden." Darwin said. "This makes my heart tremble in love for some reason."

"Yeah, these Japanese Cartoons will do it to ya." Gumball replied. "What's this show about, anyway?"

Darwin popped open the Google Search Engine and took out a tablet. "Watch this." Darwin said, as he opened up Wikipedia on the tablet.

"Whoa..." Gumball was shocked. "That's meta to Springfield and back, dude."

"A show about a girl, Kousaka Honoka, who goes to a school called Otonokizaka High School." Darwin informed to Gumball and Anais. "When the school is threatened to being shut down due to low applicants, Honoka gets the grand idea of becoming a school idol."

"Ha, that's pretty dumb." Gumball said. "What's next, a show about a teenage princess from another dimension who goes to school and opens up dimensions with a pair of MAGICAL scissors?" Gumball made fun of the Anime.

Anais joked with Gumball. "How about a show about a boy who finds out his young teenage sister is into anime video games and moe anime and they get into a lovey-dovey relationship?"

"Honoka is a bubbly girl who never gives up on anything to the point of overexerting herself. She can however be lazy and reluctant to doing work." Darwin added. "She's also best friends with Kotori and Umi."

Gumball laughed. "A-And what are the other characters like?"

Darwin chuckled "Kotori is a girl who always has her head in the clouds. She's a happy person who always considers other people's feelings, which gives her trouble expressing hers." Darwin started to ponder a little.

"These personalities are so lame." Anais said, with a relieved chuckle. "How about one more?"

Darwin was a little upset. "Umi is a girl who has been friends with Kotori and Honoka since childhood." Darwin said.

"Childhood friendship. Typical." Anais said.

"Umi is the logical thinker of the group who tends to be hard on others." Darwin said. "Something doesn't seem right about this trio..."

"Yeah. Seems a little too..."reminding"?" Anais stressed.

"Eh, forget about it." Gumball had a bored face. "It's probably one of those shows that airs an episode a week and disappears completely after twelve."

"Yeah, must have reruns in a midnight time slot as well." Anais said.

"What's that on TV now?" Darwin wondered.

"Oooohh, now this is getting a little too familiar." Anais got nervous and hit the info button on the remote. "Doraemon?"

"A blue cat?" Gumball got nervous. "W-Why do I feel like a copycat all of a sudden?"

"Hmm...Let's just change the channel." Anais said as she changed the station.

"What's this Anime about?" Gumball hit the info button. "An anime called "Prince of Tennis"? Why do I feel like I've seen these weirdos before..."

"Me too..." Darwin had butterflies in his stomach. "Except with sweatshirts around their waists.."

"These shows are terrible! A show about a twelve-year old who plays tennis?! A show about teenagers who become idols to save a measly school?!" Anais hated these shows. "What kind of creative integrity do the producers have?!" Anais was angry and began to see what was airing next. "What in the-"

"Hey, this isn't an Anime!" Gumball was angry. He saw that a more Western Cartoon was airing. "This is called..."

Darwin hit the info button. "The Amazing World of Gumbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." The trio realized that it was their own show airing.

"Be your own you! Be your own you! Don't do what I do! Just be your own you!" The main characters of the show were singing a song. "Don't be a criminal, just try and be original!"

Gumball was frightened out of his mind, as well as Darwin and Anais. "Let's get out of here!", all three siblings yelled.

Nicole and Richard woke up from a luxurious hotel they had a great night's stay in.

"Ohh, honey, i'm loving this vacation!" Nicole woke up and stretched.

"Vacation?" Richard asked. "I thought we were just staying the night until we look for the kids?"

"I thought we left the kids at the house..." Nicole said.
"OH MY GOSH, THE KIDS! WE LEFT THE KIDS AT THE HOUSE BY THEMSELVES!"

"No, no, no, honey." Richard said. "Don't your remember? We're in the Internet now."

"Oh yeah, the Internet..." Nicole got depressed. "I miss my Gummypuss...and Anais...and Darwin."
"OH MY GOSH, THE OVEN! WE FORGOT TO TURN THE OVEN OFF!"

"Hush, hush, hush, honey.." Richard said. "Internet. We're in the Internet."

"Hooray. I'm loving it so much" Nicole said, apathetically.

"Now let's get some breakfast!" Richard said.

"I guess room service would be nice." Nicole said. "Wait a minute-RICHARD!"

Richard began to climb up to the search bar and yelled out "Lasagna Cheese Ketchup Mayonnaise Deviled Egg Chocolates".

"Richard, you're not going to eat that, are you?" Nicole was disgusted.

"I've used chloroform as dipping sauce before, what can't I survive?" Richard ran off to eat the Lasagna Cheese Ketchup Mayonnaise Deviled Egg Chocolates.

"Now, what do I eat?" Nicole was wondering what she could eat.

"Honey.." Richard said to Nicole. "You're living in the most free place EVER! You can run around naked if you wanted to. Just not on safe-for-work places." Richard was trying to make Nicole feel reassured.

"You're free to doing whatever you want to! No stress has to be boiled up, unless it's a flame war of course." Richard said. "Or an intense MMORPG!"

"You're like my Ahri waifu!" Richard joked. "Just sit back, relax and let go of it all."

"Let go of it all. Let go of it all. Let go of it all." These very words echoed in Nicole's head to the point that she really let go. "Just...let go." Nicole breathed in an out multiple times.

Nicole began to run off into the Lasagna Cheese Ketchup Mayonnaise Deviled Egg Chocolates with Richard in a childish manner.

"WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nicole yelled. "Now I know what it's like to be YOU, Richard!"

"It's hard, right?" Richard replied.

"No, it's EASY!" Nicole said, happily. "EASY TO BE EASY! YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The Watterson children were walking down the white Internet world, talking about how they're in such a dangerous place.

"That explains why we have so many fan works!" Gumball said. "We're a cartoon!"

"No, Gumball." Anais replied. "I doubt that we're actually a cartoon."

"So what is it, then?" Darwin asked.

"The universe must have been affected by the Internet, and yes, I mean the Internet HIMSELF." Anais said. "His power must have gotten free reign and now he has has access to all of the universe's creations!" Anais said.

"What does that mean?" Darwin asked Anais. "Because what you're saying is way too confusing."

"What I mean is the Internet himself must have contained a sacred power that freed itself after YOU broke him!" Anais said in an upset fashion. "Now, this sacred power took over the universe and basically everything that has ever existed is a content of the internet, which explains why we can see ourselves on the television!"
"It explains how he can control the way the World Wide Web worked!"

"It also explains why there's entire worlds when we jump through images on Search!" Gumball added.

"So if we can explore the Web via the Internet HIMSELF, that means we can explore the taskbar AND the computer mainframe as well!" Anais explained.

"Then we can speak to the Internet and stop this ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Gumball said in a tough manner. "...buut maybe we should do this in a few hours."

"Or months, or days, or years, or centuries." Darwin added. "It's not like we have forever to enjoy the Internet."

"And it's not like we have forever to enjoy life." Anais said. "We have to go back and restore the Universe back to it's natural order NOW!"

"Imagine all the time we'd lose out in the real world." Anais said. "Imagine all the resources gone to waste."
"And imagine all the dangers in the internet...Viruses, trojans...memes."

"So, how do we get back home, brainiac?" Gumball said to Anais.

"We have to crash the browser." Anais said.

"Now. How do we do that?" Gumball was upset.

"Simple." Anais said. "We use a stack overflow script."

Gumball, Darwin and Anais started to lag and the browser crashed.

"That was easier than expected." Gumball stressed. "I expected some kind of fancy 01100010011101 thing to appear, or something. Like The Matrix."
"So, where to?"
The Watterson children gazed at the Start Menu, ready to click an option.

Gumball gasped when he saw the very game he was looking for was in the Start Menu. "MINECRAFT?!"

"Gumball, NO!" Darwin and Anais yelled at Gumball, who already had clicked on the Minecraft executable.

Nicole and Richard were watching videos of brutal car crashes.

"Glad that's not my car." Nicole laughed.

"Yeah, what kind of bozo drives a yellow van so crazily?" Richard laughed along.

"Hey, isn't that our car?" Nicole replied. "So it is..."

"Who cares? We're not in the car right now." Richard replied.

"Doesn't that mean it's stolen?" Nicole said.

"Who cares? We're not in Elmore right now." Richard replied.

"Feels a little odd not to care..." Nicole said, as she took out a rocket launcher and fired at the yellow van. "But a little nice as well."
