My first time writing something for a fandom and this one deserved more stories. I really like this series and wanted to write something to be a gift for her.
I'm Brazilian and I'm using google translate, so if there are a lot of words wrong, there's not much I can do.
The alarm sounded in the Wattersons' house, filling the children's room with its annoying sound.
Surprisingly, the only one in the room was Gumball, sleeping peacefully under the blankets as the alarm continued to ring.
And playing…
And playing…
After probably a minute of non-stop playing, Gumball went from lying down to sitting up almost immediately, with a piercing fiery gaze that would burn anything that came close.
He looked at the alarm clock that read 6:31 and got a little closer, speaking low, but serious and scary, "If you don't stay quiet, I'll throw you out the window, straight into the trash can".
The alarm clock went quiet soon after, so Gumball dropped his angry glare with a defeated sigh that a Tuesday morning might cause and yawned throwing his arms up.
"Good morning, Darwin", he greeted his brother mid-yawn, but only when he opened his eyes a little did he realize that the aquarium next to his bed was empty.
"Darwin?", he widened his eyes and stared at the aquarium for a bit, then got off the bed and checked more closely, "Are you there, man?", he looked through the glass, the image of his face being distorted.
"Um, Anais, did you see-", he looked at the top bunk bed looking for his sister, only to realize that it was also empty.
Confused, Gumball puts his hand on his chin and tries to think, "Did I forget something?" To find out, he takes his hand off his chin and sticks his index finger up his nose.
Inside, the finger reached into his brain where it began to check each area like a bunch of folders in a drawer, until it found an area. It said "memory".
The finger came close and pressed that area as if it were a computer key.
Immediately all his memories flashed through his eyes very quickly, when he and Darwin met, when he thought he had made Anais go to a junkyard, when he became a ghost, when he kissed Penny and so on until the present moment.
He picks his nose when he's done and shrugs, "Um, nothing", then he hears something, laughter, coming from the door.
He opens it and hears them coming from the first floor of the house, so he goes down the stairs.
When he went downstairs, he saw that the laughter was coming from the kitchen, but specifically, from his family. Everyone sat together suffering from fits of laughter.
He raises an eyebrow and goes towards them.
In the kitchen, everyone is almost losing their minds with laughter, Anais and Richard are banging on the table while Nicole is holding her belly.
Richard stops laughing a little, "You know, if his head was bigger, he would see day and night at the same time", he laughs again at his joke, but stops when he realizes that no one else is laughing.
Suddenly everyone looks serious while eating milk and cereal.
He frowns a little, "Hey, what's wrong? Do I have cereal on my chin again?".
"Hi, dad?", Gumball greets, his eyebrow still raised.
"Hi, Gumball", Richard turned to his son and walked back to the table thinking, then his eyes widen when he realizes, "AAAHHH".
He stops shouting and tries to hide it, "H-hi, Gumball!", he laughs nervously along with a nervous smile on his face.
"Aammmm, okay", Gumball ignores them and goes to prepare breakfast.
As soon as you sit down at the table and your cereal is ready to be eaten, your attention returns to everyone when you notice that they are giving the same nervous smile, just like Richard.
He sighs, "Okay, what's going on here?" Everyone looks at each other and sighs in defeat.
Anais starts, "Gumball, you know when you're bored because it's still Tuesday morning and then everyone starts talking about someone's stupidity to cheer themselves up?", Gumball nods, "Yeah, we were talking about you" , her expression became apathetic.
"WHAT?!", he shouted so loudly that it caused a sonic boom, with his family being lightly pressured, in addition to several cars on the block going off their alarms and windows breaking.
Nicole, incredibly not having lost her hearing, tried to argue, "It's not that serious, honey".
"OF COURSE IT IS! It's like putting a 'kick me' note on someone's back, then telling them 'Hey, there's something on your back, I'll get it for you' and starting kicking them JUST OUT OF BOREDOM!" the The size of his mouth increased when he screamed.
Darwin jumped in to argue, "Man, you do this all the time. We did this yesterday with Tobias on the school field!" his expression was slightly irritated by his brother's hypocrisy.
"That's because it's not funny when they do that to you and behind your back!" Gumball argued, slamming his arm on the table.
Everyone now looks at him with irritated expressions, except Richard who has an emotionless expression.
Nicole sighs, "Forget it, I have to go to work anyway", she gets up with her bowl, puts it in the sink and heads towards her room.
Before she can climb the stairs, Gumball gestures, "That's right, escape the situation, you coward-".
Nicole stops and looks at her son with a furious expression, her eyes literally on fire as she does so.
Gumball quickly calms down and retreats to his seat in fear, "H-hehe, have a good day, Mom", he smiles very nervously.
Nicole's expression calms into a small smile, which then turns into a frown as she climbs the stairs, showing that she's still a little angry.
Now on the bus going to school, Darwin tried, without any interest, to deal with his brother, "Come on, man, you're exaggerating a little".
Sitting next to you, Gumball was frowning, his face closely resembling an angry bulldog. He didn't say anything.
Darwin then looked at him blankly, "You know that if you keep making that face for a long time it will hurt a lot later!"
Gumball turned to him, "Why are you-AH", when he tried to clear his angry expression, his jaw clicked and he fell to the side.
He looked at what happened and put his hands on his jaw, putting it back in place, "Why do you care? I don't think you cared laughing at me before!"
"it's the power of Tuesday, even the cruelest things become some fun to brighten the day", he gestured with his arms, still expressionless.
Gumball stared at him a bit as he made sounds to sound like he was thinking, "Hhmm, well, since it's still Tuesday, then wouldn't you mind if I did the same?!".
"Man, I already told you! We were just bored!", his brother, however, didn't care and started making stupid gestures in a thin voice, "You know, Darwin, I'm surprised that you can convince someone, if it's like that what do you argue...".
Darwin frowned a little and spoke along with Gumball, their voices on top of each other, "Did you notice what I said?", "It's funny how you once managed to get stuck in the toilet, when your body is literally a head and legs...", "You're just being bad now!", "Where does all the food you eat go?...".
Darwin looked at his man who didn't stop talking, furrowed his eyebrows more, sighed heavily and irritably, picked up his backpack and left the bench for another while Gumball continued talking.
Carrie was looking out the window alone blankly until she noticed Darwin throwing his backpack next to her and sat down aggressively with an angry look.
Carrie looked at him a little, "Everything okay, Darwin? It's weird that you're not sitting with Gumball right now".
"I think all the biting from Penny's pet is finally driving him crazy", he said without turning to her, looking in the direction he came from.
But his expression turned sweet almost immediately as he turned to her, "But hey! How are you, my dear?".
She gave a small smile, "Oh, it's okay...", she scratched her arm as she blushed, looking away, "And it just got better!".
Darwin's expression was reminiscent of a baby smiling for the first time, also blushing, "Aaawwww".
He regained his composure, "I heard they were going to release "The Cruel Life 3"?", Carrie began to show a little concern, "I also heard, but they only released 2 a few months ago".
"Just because the second film was as successful as the first, it seems like they're going to start focusing on excessive sequences that at some point will lose their meaning or the quality of the CGI will become impossible to keep decent, but the public will still keep trying. see hope, like Marel's cinematic universe just to profit from it".
He rubbed the bench with his flipper, "Do you want to go?", her gaze became confident, "Of course, if he's a failure, then let's watch the fall of a trilogy together!".
Darwin began to sweat a little nervously, Carrie understanding what he wants to say with an unimpressed look, "You want me to possess you again while we watch because you're scared, aren't you?" Carwin nodded still sweating, Carrie just chuckled, "Scary", she walked over and patted his head. Darwin just blushed in response.
From his seat, Gumball had stopped talking and had watched the entire scene between Carrie and Darwin with a frown. He turned back to his seat and crossed his arms, "If he wants to stay away, feel free", his expression softened, "But I need to watch "The Cruel Life 2", i heard that movie is... ", he somehow obtained sunglasses and put them on, the surrounding scenery turning black and white, "Cinema". The bass beat of "Take me to church" is heard in the background.
But the music cuts out before the lyrics are sung and everything returns to normal.
he looked at his empty side of the bench, "I realized I never had the whole bench to myself", then he slowly lays down, resting his head on his hand and his elbow on the bench. He lets out a sigh of satisfaction when he takes up all the space, "Why haven't I ever done this before?".
As he drove the bus to the next house, Rocky hummed softly. But then a bird appeared out of nowhere and stood in the middle of the road trying to catch something.
Getting very scared, he hit the brakes as hard as he could, this made everyone hold on to avoid being thrown, except Gumball, who flew straight into the glass and was crushed. The bus continued braking heavily and getting dangerously close to the bird, which seemed to be very indifferent to something huge approaching.
But the bus managed to stop in time right in front of him, its back raised in the air as if it had frozen. The bird jumped up to get closer and lightly pecked at the bumper which made the bus fall back to the ground, its suspension making it wobble.
When everything calmed down, Rocky looked at the students he was transporting and at the bird, he sighed in relief. He looked at the bird in the street and honked, the noise being enough to scare it away.
After that, he looked to the side when he heard a groan and realized that Gumball was compressed and trapped in the glass, "Are you okay, Gumball?", He said something intelligible, what he was saying was "Now I understand why we sat there". Even though he didn't understand, Rocky shrugged, "Alright then".
He stepped on the accelerator and the bus started moving normally again, with Gumball still trapped in the window. The rear of the bus can be seen moving away.
As soon as the bus got far enough away, a person, a man, walked by on the sidewalk. She looked like one of the humans from "The Sweaters", but with stronger colors and less realistic features, dressed in a gray short-sleeved shirt with black lines that looked like blurs and slightly baggy black pants.
He walked calmly down the sidewalk with his hands in his pants pockets and his face expressionless but calm. He stopped when he heard something and turned to see a black Sauropod with a backpack running from inside the house.
She then stopped when she reached the edge of the sidewalk and frantically looked both ways and fixed her eyes on the person, who was still staring blankly at her.
Molly walked a little closer, "Hey, did you see a school bus pass by?", "It passed by a little while ago", he replied emotionlessly.
She stopped being agitated and now became nervous, even so, she started to bring up the subject, "I can't be late again...", her nervousness was gradually replaced by excitement as she spoke, "Because once I woke up and found that I had missed the bus...but I looked at my alarm clock and realized that I had woken up at the right time".
But it didn't stop there, "So I got ready, but I took too long in the shower...", this time the person raised their eyebrows a little, "And...?", "And I managed to catch the bus anyway, I got to class right on time", she finished smiling.
The person just stared at her quietly for a few seconds, "Shouldn't you be running now?", Molly's eyes widened, "YOU'RE RIGHT, BYE!", she turned and prepared to run as hard as her short legs could carry her.
Before she could, the person called out to her, "Hey," Molly turned her head, "Uh".
When she looked at the person again, they had their hand in the air, but it still looked like they were holding some kind of wallpaper. Molly just looked confused.
Then he casually pulled reality away like a fabric, showing a horizon of TV static from below. The horizon began to pull her. She tried to move away, but fell to the ground, then tried to hold on, but her lack of fingers didn't help.
As she was drawn closer, she floated and this caused her to be pulled quickly and far into the horizon. The man dropped the "fabric" which quickly returned to its place.
He stood still for a while and then walked again with his hands in his pockets. His neutral expression now seemed slightly irritated.
"You're not leaving again".
Hours later*
In the cafeteria, several students were paying for their lunches, sitting at tables and talking to each other, but everyone seemed at least a little uncomfortable because of someone who wouldn't stop talking.
At a table in the corner, Penny sat alone with Gumball, she boredly picking at her food with her head resting on her hand while Gumball kept talking and gesturing irritably, "And when I tried to talk to Darwin again, he just turned around and went away". Penny makes a noise of agreement.
"Now I want to know what it's going to be like when we get home, is he going to have dinner in the backyard? Sleep in the bathroom? Well, maybe I'm going to have dinner in the backyard or sleep in the bathroom!", he gestured as if Darwin was listening, "Hm", Penny replied.
Gumball sat firmly in place and crossed his arms, making the same angry bulldog face.
After a few seconds of silence, Penny tried to speak, "Okay, it's okay to be mad about this, Gum", she looked elsewhere, "Even though I've seen you do the same to other people", Gumball blurred his expression annoyed and looked her in the eyes when she placed her "hand" on her arm, "But remembering everything will only irritate you... and irritate others. Jamie has already put us in that corner with a warning".
The two looked ahead and saw Jamie walking by with his tray, who looked at them and showed his clenched fist along with shark teeth in his mouth.
They faced each other again, "Do you understand?", she gave a fond smile, Gumball sighed, "Yes, I understand", then he looked in another direction, "Darwin would have understood too if he stopped avoiding me". This took away Penny's patience.
She gave a nervous smile as she seemed to be trying hard for her pink head not to create snakes and her orange wings not to increase in size, this agitation made Gumball shrink a little. Then her color returned to normal and she sighed, "I'll see if Carmen will let me sit with her", she picked up her tray and stood up with an impassive expression.
Gumball's mouth opened a little in surprise, "B-but what about our lunch?" Penny stopped walking and stood still, before turning her head to him with her face and voice switching between her medusa form and her dragon form, "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE LUNCH WITH DARWIN AND SOLVE THIS AT ONCE?!", she he returned to normal and left. Gumball, who recoiled at his girlfriend's outburst, opened his mouth wider in surprise, then his face seemed to contort, cracking and hardening in an attempt to make the face of an angry bulldog again.
But in the end his face just became disfigured and distorted, he dropped his expression and lowered his head in defeat, "Damn, I'm physically incapable of being mad at her".
Sussie appeared walking towards Gumball's table, taking mayonnaise from one of her pockets and putting it on the food, "Hi, Gumball! Can Sussie sit with you?", Gumball didn't even look up, he just inhaled slowly and sighed deeply, "Of course", he said sadly. Sussie raised one of her arms in the air and shouted happily, "EEEEEEEEE".
She felt next to him and quickly began to speak, "You don't know what happened to Sussie today, Sussie accidentally ate a pigeon...", then Sussie told her own crazy things, Gumball raised his head and looked at the table Penny was at now.
She seemed calmer and was already laughing at something Carmen probably said, but when she noticed Gumball staring at her, she closed her eyes and got an angry expression, releasing small clouds of smoke from her nose.
Gumball felt dejected and let his head fall back. He didn't notice when she looked at him and seemed to mix a slight regret in his angry expression, so he went back to talking to Carmen.
Outside, Janice, Mr. Small's weird van, was parked in one of the teacher spaces.
Soon a person appeared at his side, the man who spoke to Molly, standing looking at the images of wolves and unicorns with rainbows coming out of the latter with a disgusted look mixed with some surprise, "My god...". Was all he said before going to the back, grabbing the van from the bottom and effortlessly pulling it somewhere.
Now in the likely last class of the day, all of Mrs. Simian's students were sitting bored, waiting for classes to end for the day.
Mrs. Simian drank her last sip of coffee (before class) and looked at the students with their arms behind their backs, "ATTENTION, STUDENTS!", everyone straightened their postures and paid attention, "Well, even if I do this with often enough for it to no longer be a surprise...", she took her arms from behind her back and showed the sheets in her hands, "TEST SURPRISE!". Everyone groaned.
"AAAAMMMM", someone, however, moaned louder than everyone and enough to get her teacher's attention, "WHO DID THIS?!", she placed her hands on her hips. The person responsible moaned again, "AAAAMMM", she faced the culprit and became even angrier when she recognized him. It was Gumball.
She walked over to his desk, finding him with his head thrown back in the chair, "Watterson!", He groaned again and raised his head to look at his teacher, "Yes, Mrs. Simian?", he asked unwillingly.
She showed him her index finger, "One hour detention after class!", this made Gumball go into shock, "WHAT?! Just why did I moan?", "I already sent you there for less, but today I don't want to put up with any more of you! It's not enough for you to be talking non-stop in the cafeteria, I could hear you through the air pipes! I lost one of my mugs because of the resonance of your voice!".
Gumball gestured frantically, "But-Ah-!", Mrs. Simian threatened him, "Want two hours?!", she held up two fingers, "You know I'd love to do that!", he gave an evil smile.
Gumball stood frozen in midair, then took a deep breath so that his nostrils were comically visible.
His body opened like a chest, with a fiery figure silhouetted by his body and glowing eyes appearing and screaming with flaming arms trying to hit something, "GO BACK TO THE UNDERWORLD WHERE YOU CAME FROM, PRIMATE SO OLD YOU WITNESSED THE CREATION FROM ADAM!" The figure disappeared as its body closed, his angry bulldog expression was on his face again.
Her colleagues stepped back a little for cover, while Mrs Simian, if she wasn't bald before, the greater lack of hair on her head from the fire arms would now make her one.
She looked up in surprise, running her hand over her hairless head, her body then stiffened in anger, "ARREST NOW!", she pointed towards the door.
"GREAT!", Gumball shouted back, walking out with his bulldog expression and slamming the door.
Another hours later*
The entire Watterson family was sitting at the table for dinner, it having already gotten dark outside. But Gumball didn't try to eat his food, he just stared at Darwin with furrowed eyebrows.
Nicole noticed that her son seemed bothered by something (as always) and took the chance, "Gumball, can you tell me something, dear?", "aham", he didn't take his eyes off Darwin, "Why today, of every day, you decided to BURN YOUR TEACHER'S BALD?", her mouth widened enormously until it was above everyone at the table.
Gumball snorted, "Why don't you ask Darwin? Maybe that will make him talk", everyone looked along with Gumball at Darwin.
Noticing everyone's gaze, he stopped eating and sighed, "I have nothing to say".
Gumball began to twitch in anger, "WHAT?! YOU HAVEN'T SAID A WORD TO ME SINCE WE GOT OFF THE BUS AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!-AHH!", he lowered his head as a plate came towards the his face, the sound of glass breaking in the background as Gumball scowled at Darwin.
Darwin now had a furious expression on his face, "YOU WANT ME TO SAY SOMETHING? THEN I'LL SAY IT!" EVEN WORSE WHEN I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!" he closed his eyes to scream louder, "AND THAT'S WHY PENNY LEFT YOU ALONE AT LUNCH!".
Nicole was surprised and seemed even bothered, "Penny dumped you?", even though he still seemed angry, Gumball rolled his ears back, "She didn't "ditch me", she just decided it was better to have lunch with a friend than with me".
Darwin put his "hands" on his hips, "Of course, that's how it starts, first she decides to spend more time with her friends, then she gets irritated more easily over time and BOOM, she broke up with you!".
"If we were dating, I WOULD DO THE SAME THING!", everyone looked at Darwin with disgusted faces, then Nicole, "Apparently relationships haven't changed at all in twenty years", she said discouraged.
Anais interjected, "Okay, okay, now why don't you guys calm down and work this out like people- wait, what am I talking about?", his expression turned disappointed, "You're going to destroy this table by the end of this argument, or it's going to be Mom".
It was Richard's turn, "Why don't you guys try to eat some?", he broke into a smile as he started talking about food, "I'm never okay with-", he is interrupted by Gumball hissing at him with a tongue forked like a snake, making him cringe and sweat, "Forget it, hehe".
He turned back to Darwin, "I HAD A HORRIBLE DAY, OK! BUT IF YOU GIVE ME AN APOLOGY, I'LL TRY TO FORGET EVERYTHING!", he crossed his arms. His expression became even angrier and his voice even louder, "APOLOGIZE?! APOLOGIZE?! YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE-", he coughed hard, then stayed quiet and left the table, his angry expression not wavering.
He grabbed a glass, went to the fridge and filled it with water, drinking it all at once, "aahh", he sighed contentedly. He dropped the glass as a joke and returned to the table.
He coughed a little to clear his throat and returned to the discussion, "YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE! YOU HELLED ME EVERY TIME YOU GOT THE CHANCE TODAY, JUST BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW BIG YOUR HEAD IS IN THE MORNING!".
"WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT?! MY HEAD IS NOT THAT BIG!", he extended his arms to Darwin, "AND YOU'RE JUST LEGS AND A HEAD!" Darwin shot back, "WE-WERE-JUST-BORED!".
Anais intervened again, "He's right, Gumball. That was just a bunch of dumb jokes, but you let it bother you, you can't blame us for that," Nicole placed her hands on her hips, "Exactly, you thought that It's bad and it's making a fuss. You should really apologize!".
Gumball's expression was now stoic as he crossed his arms, "Alright, I'll do it," Darwin's expression calmed down a bit as the others raised an eyebrow, "Really?" Anais questioned, "Wow, I didn't expect -", "If you do this first", he closed his eyes and puffed out his chest a little to appear superior. Everyone had frustrated expressions.
Darwin reached his limit, but instead of arguing further, he shouted, "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH", his voice gradually became higher pitched until it was too loud for everyone's ears. The family covered their ears due to the pain they began to feel, while all types of glass exploded.
TVs, cell phones, dishes, windows, all the glass in hundreds of houses nearby could be heard exploding.
When the pain in their ears stopped, everyone took their hands off their heads and opened their eyes, the house was covered in broken glass while their faces and the walls were dirty from the dinner that flew from the exploding dishes. Darwin was the only one unharmed.
Richard looked at his face and then swiped his tongue, removing all the food and leaving his face clean, "Hmm", he smiled.
Everyone looked at Darwin, who was breathing heavily, "THIS IS WHY YOU HAD A HORRIBLE DAY! BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"
"ADMIT YOU KNOW HOW TO BE A REAL IDIOT!".
Gumball's superior posture broke, he arched his spine and stared at Darwin with the black dots of his eyes wiggling and his mouth open.
He stayed like this.
But before it became worrying, his expression fell somewhere between frustrated and irritated. He forced his weak arms onto the table so his chair went back and had plenty of room to climb down.
He walked angrily out of the kitchen, which made his mother stand up, "Where do you think you're going, Gumball?", he reached the door and put his hand on the handle, "GUMBALL!".
He opened the door and turned to look into her angry eyes, "WHY DO YOU CARE? ENJOY AND TALK ABOUT MY HUGE HEAD!".
"MAYBE I WILL!", Darwin declared, "DARWIN!", Nicole scolded him, so Gumball slammed the door shut.
But he opened it normally and went towards the stairs, "IT'S VERY DARK OUTSIDE, I'LL BRING A LANTERN!", his steps were heard going up, and shortly after going down, "UNFORTUNATELY THE LANTERN AND MY CELL PHONE ARE BROKEN! THANK YOU, DARWIN!", he slammed the door again.
Anais sighed, slapping her hand on her forehead, but with little strength to avoid old problems, Darwin crossed his arms and looked to the side irritably. Nicole sat in her seat, "He'll come back", her expression softened a little, "I hope", Richard placed his hand on her back.
Gumball continued to walk irritably, passing from light to light on the streetlights inside Elmore Park, his feet leaving burn marks on the ground as they caught fire from walking much further than normal.
He stopped in front of a bench lit by one of the streetlights and jumped down to sit on it, crossing his arms and making the expression of an angry bulldog again, the flames at his feet slowly diminishing until they went out and a wisp of gray smoke came from the tips of his feet. fingers.
He stood there quietly, staring into space with irritation.
staring, staring...
After about 30 seconds the grass in front of him seemed to create the eyes and mouth of a simple model who looked terrified, "ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, MAN! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID TO YOU, BUT PLEASE STOP!".
Gumball continued in the same way, this made the grass' terrified face tighten with nervousness and then scream, "AAAAHHHH", suddenly she created arms and legs also of a simple model, but with the shade of green of her "body", she he used his arms to run and his legs to swing desperately, "MOMMY!".
Even with the grass gone, Gumball remained the same, but it didn't last long, as his face seemed to grow extra skin and sag with gravity, his face was now a mixture of a deflated balloon and his father's fat wrinkles.
He shook his head very quickly, his skin returning to normal as he stopped, he stroked his cheek, "I've made that expression so many times today that my face has become exhausted".
He craned his neck to look in both directions of the park path, there was nothing, just the silence of the darkness. He leaned back against the bench, now supporting himself on his arms, and huffed, "Man, being irritated isn't satisfying when no one's around to see", he began to lightly swing his legs.
A noise came from one direction, Gumball quickly raised his head and tried to see what made the noise, but he couldn't see. The streetlights had powerful lamps, but the problem with such a strong light is that everything that is not within reach becomes difficult to see, making it easy for something to hide in the dark.
Gumball stared at this darkness, which made him swallow hard, "Maybe...I should go back-", his hand instinctively came up and threw itself against his cheek, slapping him.
This eased his fear, "No! I'm not going back to them!", he looked back into the darkness, "But maybe I should go somewhere else, after all the streets of Elmore are already dangerous in the daytime-".
A loud metal sound came from his back, "AAAAAHHHH", he fell back onto the bench with his eyes widening like the character The Mask.
A black trash can rolled over and hit the bench, coming to rest next to him and coming into the light. Even though he couldn't see anything, he heard someone's complaints of pain, "OW! OW! OW!", the complaints calmed down.
Sounds of footsteps on the grass came towards him, making him sweat more every second and his heart could be heard beating even by the deaf elderly people in the city.
Then a man in dark clothes came out of the darkness and picked up the trash can, "Why would anyone paint a trash can that's out of the light of lamps black?!", He glared at her, "I guess I'll complain to Larry later", and placed her on the floor.
He then noticed Gumball, who was frozen in a terrified expression, "Huh?".
Gumball broke the freeze with a heavy and relieved breath, "Ah, what a scare I got, I thought it was a robber or another criminal", he put his arm across his forehead to remove the sweat.
The man raised an eyebrow, "And why do you think I'm not a criminal?", "Are you?", the man looked away, "Eeeerrrr", he shrugged.
Gumball also shrugged, "That's enough for me", he leaned back against the bench again, "Now will you excuse me? I'm trying to think of what to do".
"I noticed", the man said in a calm tone and pointed to the top of Gumball's head, there was smoke coming out of his ears.
"It's just that today I had a difficult day", the man bowed, "Why was it difficult?", this made Gumball excited, then angry, now he had to pay attention to his anger.
"Well, let's just say I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND MY WHOLE FAMILY IS LAUGHING AT ME, MY BROTHER LEFT ME ALONE ON THE BUS FOR A GIRL, MY GIRLFRIEND GAVE UP OUR I HAD LUNCH TOGETHER, WENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT A SURPRISE TEST AND THEN LEFT THE HOUSE!", he crossed his arms with his bulldog expression, "It's not really the hardest, but the most annoying!", he tried to squeeze the air with his angry hands, "AAARRRGGG, everyone seems to hate me today!".
Above was quiet, filled with the man's silence and Gumball's irritation. But after a minute, Gumball was finding the silence awkward, turning to the man, "Hey, are you-", he froze.
The man's face was contorting in visible anger, but he also seemed desperate to stay calm, it made the muscles in his face feel like he was cramping.
Gumball's expression showed that he was holding back a lot from saying whatever he was thinking, but he's someone who gives up easily, "Dude, are you okay? Because it's like a bunch of worms are crawling under your skin!", he exploded.
The man didn't seem to hear, his face still twitching, Gumball looked slightly horrified and gave a nervous smile, "Ah, hehe, you know what, forget everything! I think I'll go back home and-", just as Gumball was about to go downstairs, A loud noise made his body paralyze and flinch with his eyes wide open.
He overcame his initial fear and slowly turned his head to the side. He saw that the loud bang was because the man had crushed a small wooden part of the bench with his hand.
The man's face stopped contorting and his head fell in defeat with a sigh, "I thought I could take more…." He lifted his head and looked into Gumball's eyes with slight irritation, "But it only took a minute with you." "W-What does that mean?", Gumball asked with a small nervous smile.
The man walked over and pointed his index finger at Gumball, "It means you're coming with me, Gumball Watterson".
The man grabbed him by the collar of his sweater and lifted him to his shoulder. Then he started going somewhere.
Gumball, tried to get out of this situation, "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!", he waved his arms and legs frantically, but to no avail.
The man walked to the other end of the bench, his free hand raised as he seemed to check something, he fixed his gaze and placed his hand, the place he held became like a cloth and opened. Gumball's eyes were drawn to that sight.
A horizon of TV static that stretched into infinity was on the other side, its image being reflected in Gumball's eyes as many things began to flood his mind.
But he didn't have time to understand this as he was thrown towards the horizon.
"AAAAAAAHHH".
Once Gumball disappeared, the man stood right in front of the "opening" and slowly free-falled into it, pulling the "fabric" together and closing it.
The park was now empty.
