READ ON! :D
"...wha-what...what are you doing here...," Gumball asks quietly while looking at his ghostly ex-girlfriend.
"I...uh...I came back...to um...," Carrie stutters.
"You came back to what?," Gumball says a bit angrily.
Carrie flinches at Gumball's anger.
"...I...I came back to see you...," Carrie says quietly.
"You what?," Gumball says.
"I said I came back to see you ok!," Carrie screams with the tears flowing down her face.
Gumball looks at Carrie with a reserved face.
Silence follows for a few moments as Gumball and Carrie quietly collect their thoughts.
Kira clears her throat.
"So uh...Gumball...you were saying...?," she asks.
"Oh yeah...can I be excused from gym today?," Gumball replies.
"Why? You're one of the most active students in gym," Endo says.
"Well...," Gumball trails off without any ideas.
"Get to gym...Sif isn't gonna be happy that you skipped," Endo says authoritavely.
"Ok...," Gumball says as he heads towards the door.
Endo clears his throat to catch Gumball's attention.
"Umm...what?," Gumball asks.
Endo motions towards Carrie with his hand.
Carrie looks up at Gumball.
"Uh...Carrie?," Gumball says.
"Yeah?," she replies through sniffles.
"I...uh...I'm glad that you're back...," Gumball says quietly.
"Really...?," she asks quietly.
"Yeah...I really missed you Carrie...and...," he trails off.
"And what?," Carrie asks a bit stronger this time.
"And...and I still care for you...a lot...I have to go...bye," Gumball says quickly as he runs out of Endo's office.
Carrie's jaw drops as Gumball closes the door.
She just stares at the door for a few moments.
"He never stopped thinking of you Carrie...," Kira says with a smile.
"He never dated any other girl when you left...," she continues.
Carrie turns to her cousin with wide eyes.
Endo goes back to his desk and begins to work on his computer as Kira and Carrie begin to talk.
"He never moved on from you...despite all the hurt that your leaving caused him...," Kira says a bit seriously.
"We understand why you've moved back to Elmore Carrie...," Endo says as he looks up from his computer screen.
"But if you ever hurt him again...I will hurt you...," Endo says with a feral tone.
Carrie gulps nervously.
"Got it...," she says quietly.
Endo presses a few keys on his computer and then takes a few papers that his printer printed out.
"Ok you are now registered in Elmore High School as a grade 11 student...I don't know how but it says that you finished some schooling when you were away," Endo says as he hands Carrie her schedule.
"You have your classes on that second sheet. All of them are the same classes as Gumball, your welcome for that," Endo continues.
"Would you like to start today?," Endo asks.
Carrie looks over the papers.
"Umm...sure...," she says a bit nervously.
"Alright...report to gym class immediately," Endo says.
Endo presses the comlink on his desk and speaks through it.
"Sif, you have a new student coming to class in five minutes...be ready...make sure Gumball is with her...I'm unsure of how the other students will react to her return," Endo says.
"Got it good buddy!," Sif replies happily through the comlink.
Endo stands up and opens the door.
"Good luck Carrie...you're gonna need it...," he says.
Carrie gets up off her chair and floats out with Kira.
"Thanks...," she says as she floats down the hall with her cousin.
Gym class-
"Ok people, let's get moving!," Sif commands to his gym class as the students walk into the gymnasium.
Gumball, Penny, Darwin, Rachael, Molly, Carmen, Allen, Tobias, Banana Joe, Masami, Ocho, Bobert, and all the others mumble as they walk into gym class.
The students all gather together at the center of the gym as Sif walks around in a black sweatshirt and dark blue shorts. (Normal shorts, not short shorts.)
"Ok students! Listen up! Today we have a returning students joining us! So I expect you all to be on your best behaviour," Sif shouts out.
"But since she's not here yet, let's get some stretching done!," he commands.
The students begin stretching, except for Allan, Masami, Clayton, and all the others without proper appendages.
Gumball goes to the corner of the gym and begins stretching himself out.
Over the years, he got his "gift" through puberty, and he had trained everyday with Endo.
As he stretched his arms, his biceps showed themselves.
"Dang Gumball, I'm still surprised that you haven't gotten a girlfriend yet," Tobias says as he walks over.
"I told you already...I don't want one," he replies coldly.
"Yeah because you're still in love with that ghost freak Carrie," Tobias taunts again.
"Do you really want to go through this again...," Gumball says angrily.
"You just caught me off guard last time...I won't be beat this time," Tobias says as he takes a boxing stance.
He throws a punch of Gumball but his fist is caught in a blue flash.
"Tobias...how many time must I remind you...no fighting in gym unless the teacher allows it," Jason, the wolf cat, says annoyingly.
"Uh...once?," he says jokingly.
Jason flips Tobias over his shoulder and plants him on the floor.
"One more time...and you're gonna go to detention," Jason says as he teleports away.
Tobias mutters something as he painfully gets up and walks away.
After a few minutes of stretching, the doors of the gym open, and a white ghost floats in.
Most of the students stare in awe at the ghost.
The ghost floats over to Sif.
They talk for a few seconds and Sif points over to Gumball while he's talking to the ghost.
The ghost nods and floats over to Gumball sheepishly while being stared at by the other students.
As she reaches Gumball, a bunchof the students whisper things to each other.
Gumball stares angrily at the others as his eyes turn feral.
"What are you looking at!," he screams angrily.
The students turn away in fear.
Gumball looks over at Carrie with normal eyes and a smile.
"Hey Carrie, glad you could join me," Gumball says as he continues stretching.
Carrie doesn't say anything because she's mesmerized by Gumball's new features on his arms and legs.
"Gumball...what...happened to you...," she asks as she reaches out and puts her hand on Gumball's arm covered in scars.
"Oh these? Haha, nothing," Gumball chuckles nervously.
"Don't lie to me Gumball...Endo and Kira told me some of the things that you did to yourself...," Carrie says sadly while running her hand up Gumball's arm.
Gumball jerks his arm away from Carrie.
"Yeah well...I'm over doing all of that...," he says quickly.
Carrie looks into Gumball's eyes.
"Lift your shirt a bit...," she says without breaking eye contact.
"Uh...ok?," Gumball says as he shyly lifts his shirt.
Gumball's abs show a bit, but an ugly scar is on the left side of his torso.
"Gumball...why...," Carrie says as she touches the scar.
Gumball just stares at Carrie as she feels the scar on his torso.
"Tell me Gumball!," Carrie exclaims louder.
"Because...because of you!," Gumball screams a bit loudly.
The rest of the students stop whatever they were doing and stare at the two in the corner of the gym.
"You almost killed Penny when the other repeatedly told you to stop then you just leave for four years without a trace! Now you're back here wondering why I did these things to myself! It's because you left me Carrie!," Gumball screams as tears flow down his face.
"When you left, I was thrown into a huge state of depression! I blamed myself for your leaving! How could you do this to me Carrie! I thought you loved me!," Gumball continues screaming at Carrie.
"I...I was scared that you would think that I was a monster because of what I did...a monster that you would hate...," Carrie cries as she floats out of the gym.
Gumball watches Carrie float out of the gym.
"But I never hated you...," Gumball says to himself as the doors slam after Carrie leaves.
