Alright, I suppose it's time for a scene in lunch, and we start immediately after the classroom case, here is when the students take their lunch...
"I don't know about experiencing a power trip" Darwin stated getting the tray, "Uh, yeah you do. The safety video?" Gumball retorted, also getting a tray. After receiving their lunch, the boys decided to sit in the empty table in the middle of the cafeteria. "but that can't count, I wanted to protect you, I committed a act with good intentions, I think I get a pass." Darwin responded, Gumball tapped him and pointed at the lunch line, where some mischievous deeds were happening.
In the line there was 2 of Tobias in the line, the other Tobias was slightly lighter and looked like he had an idea. The 2nd Tobias stepped back and vault jumped over the students in the line. He then grabbed a tray and booked it to the door, but was stopped by James in the cafeteria door. "Mr. L, you have abandoned your post, come quiet-" but was cut off by the 2nd Tobias changing into Mr. L and popped a confetti gun in front of Jame's face and dashed out. "Sensors disrupted! Pursue mode; Active" James said as he jetted out of the cafeteria. "I was expecting Mr. L to do something, but this is new." Darwin said, Gumball simply nodded. "As I said, You were the one with the power trip..."
Gumball walked in the halls, Darwin went ahead as Gumball had to sort his locker before class. He was stopped by the two girl bullies in the school, Tina Rex and Jamie. "Hey! Watterson! We got a favor to ask." Jamie said as she stopped him. "Well seeing as you're going to blackmail me anyway, tell me what you want so I can get it over with." Gumball stated, with less enthusiasm as a clown in a kid's birthday. "Me and Tina were shaking down a dork in the hall when we forgot about the cameras, we already have more than 3 strikes and we don't want another. So were demanding you to steal the feed tape from the office, If not, well show Penny this" Jamie held a photo of the time Gumball kissed Sarah (from The Disaster). Gumball was more than shocked, more on the lines of how did she have that? "How did you get that?" Gumball asked appalled. "We found this on Mr. L's desk, looks real enough, and could really get a reaction from good ol' Penny". Gumball looked down silently, after a while he nodded. The two walked away smiling and Gumball stood emotionless and out of it during the last portion of that day.
The last bell rung, Mr. L stood up "If you need me, I'll be in the office, Principal Brown told me Mr. Small was out and no-one else is able to sub to look after the feed, see ya!" Gumball slammed his face on the desk, then he felt a tap on his shoulder, he looked up at the angelic yellow figure. Penny looked slightly worried, as it wasn't hard to notice Gumball was in despair. "Gummy Puss, what's wrong?" Penny asked. "Oh, it's nothing, I just need to take care of something now, still up for our date tomorrow?" Gumball said, trying his best to hide the agony of having to face Mr. L to get the tape so he won't lose the girl he was currently looking at. "Yep! Just take of yourself, ok? I worry sometimes." Penny said as she walked out. Gumball stood up in the empty classroom, heading to the hallway. A lot of things were in his mind, if this was all worth it, if Jamie would keep her end and not show Penny, What would Penny do? He could feel a tear nearly escape with these thoughts. He wiped off a tear as he faced the office, and his final destination for his life.
He slowly opened the door, revealing Mr. L sleeping with the monitor on. "Easy enough, said no one ever" Gumball quietly remarked as he inched closer and closer to the desk. He ejected the tape out of the monitor, quickly glancing at Mr. L, who was still fast asleep. He took the tape and crept out of the office. Just as he reached for the door knob, Mr. L shot up, he glanced around and noticed the door was swung open and the tape for today was gone. Gumball sprinted through the hallways, with the even faster Mr. L following. "Watterson, give me the tape!". Gumball vaulted out of a open window, with Mr. L following as well. Gumball got on the sidewalk and was running out of breath, even worse, Mr. L is now flying with his black bat wings.
Gumball was losing speed as he was getting exhausted. He knew the only way he could escape if he had something to ride on, he could see three teenagers with skateboards standing on the sidewalk. He took and hopped on the stolen skateboard, "Hey! Twer-" The teenager started to say until Mr. L sped past, knocking down one with sheer wind. Gumball felt a bit safer on a skateboard, until Mr. L actually used his powers. The ground gave way and a wall of obsidian emerged on the street Gumball was speeding to. Gumball steered away and another wall erected, with Gumball closely missing by steering to a alley between houses. Gumball looked back and didn't notice the wood fence, so he crashed into the fence. Mr. L followed over the fence, they both were in a straight path until Darwin showed up in a minecart- looking cart with fireworks strapped to the sides. "Gumball! Hop on!" Darwin yelled, Gumball jumped and missed, but held on the rim. Darwin helped Gumball up on the cart, "How did you find me?" Gumball asked, "Anais told me to look for you! She told me if you got in a mess, I would use this car." Darwin held on to the front and leaned to the side, turning.
"Hey, did you notice the fog over there?" Gumball asked and pointed to a cloud of fog in their way. The two went in the fog, the speed of the cart left a clear trail. Suddenly the wheel of the minecart was wedged and launched the two in the field of fog. "Darwin? Darwin!?" Gumball looked around, a silhouette appeared in the fog. The figure was too tall to be Darwin, so he braced as the figure drew closer. "As I said, give me the tape, we could've avoided all of this if you told me what you need it for" Gumball looked up, looking confused. "but your motives were clear enough, so here a reward" Mr. L held the tape and snapped it in half. "Principle Brown just records the tape to save money, if it was destroyed, he wouldn't care, has a couple of empty films in stock. Now that you have that off your mind, will you tell me why you need it?" The fog cleared, revealing Darwin crashed on some garbage.
Mr. L and Gumball sat on the curb, Gumball looking a bit down. "Why look so gloomy? Usually I fix it with some ice cream." Mr. L reached in a portal and pulled out a tub of ice cream. "No, I can't but... I have to come clean." Gumball said, as Mr. L put the ice cream tub back."Tina and Jamie blackmailed me to steal the feed or they'll show a... very 'incriminating' photo of me to Penny." Mr. L just looked at Gumball. "Would the photo be of G. Lato and you impacting a kiss as the world around you was being manipulated itself?" Gumball looked on stunned, Mr. L stood and offered a hand to Gumball "Come! It's getting late and I would hate you boys to be out in the cold night." Gumball was on his back and Mr. L picked up Darwin off the trash and flew up. "So where you boys live? I can go anywhere" Gumball pointed down at his house and Mr. L dove down. He stopped and let off the two, waved goodbye and flew off (and Gumball had to carry Darwin in).
PAGE BREAK
Gumball walked in, still nervous of Jamie, but better than yesterday. All seemed normal, or at least Elmore normal, until he saw Jamie and Penny, with Jamie giving the photo Gumball was blackmailed by. Penny was looking at the photo Jamie gave her as Gumball ran to the end of the hall, to be stopped by Mr. L, like swept up. "Watterson! You perfectly know running in the halls is a punishable offence, I can take you in young man! Nah, joking, but don't run, I'll find you." Mr. L said, making the 'I'm watching you' gesture'. Gumball finally got up to Penny and started quickly trying to explain before she freaked out. Penny put her finger on his mouth, "You don't have to explain, I know already, Mr. L told me earlier.
{EARLIER}
"Thank you Fitzgerald for complying so quickly, as you saw yesterday, Gumball was seemingly terrified by something. You wanna what your Romeo was so worried about? You! Wow! How noble, so I'll do you a favor by showing you the picture now." Mr. L slid the picture across the table, Penny looking at it and looking surprised. "This was real? The story was real?" Penny looked on dumbfounded. "Pff, of course, now run along, I got a class in a few." Penny stood up and walked out to be stopped by Jamie, and Mr. L stopping Gumball
"That was... Super coincidental, so much so it's spooky" Gumball said. "So it's fine, anyway, see you late Gummy Puss!" Penny walked away and Gumball fell, in stupidity and fatigue. "Gumball! Gumball! Class's about to start" Mr. L looked on the collapsed Gumball and shrugged, and dragged him to the room.
