Nicole took a breath as she realized what she was going through right now. Losing Gumball like this was taking a toll on her mental health. At least Richard, Darwin, and Anais were there to support her and make sure she was alright. Or... was she alright though? "Look," she breathed, "i'm just going through a hard time and all."

"It's ok, honey." Richard gently hugged her by the side. "We get it. It's been a little rough or you."

"That's an understatement." Nicole sighed while rolling her eyes. "But i wanna ask you guys:" she clasped her hands together. "Am I a good mother?"

Anais was the first to answer when she said: "Of course you are mom. You're the greatest mother we've ever known."

"YOU'RE LYING!" Nicole suddenly snapped, scaring everyone else in the family. "If I am a terrible mother, you can just tell me the truth for corn's sake!" she continued yelling some more. Normally, everyone is used to her screaming and yelling but... they can see that she wasn't really... alright at this moment.

"mom!" Darwin scolded her.

Realizing that she shouldn't have done that, Nicole took another breath. "I'm sorry. Ever since those ponies told me that I wasn't a good mother, I've been... conflicted lately. It's like child protective services have taken Gumball away from me.

"Well I wouldn't say that." Richard pointed. "Those ponies were princesses and they technically have more powerful than Child Protective Services."

"Dad!" Darwin and Anais scolded the rabbit father.

"not helping." Anais hissed.

"Sorry. But you are a good mother. They just haven't seen the extent of your parenting as much as we have.

"well I wish I can just give those magical horses a piece of my mind." Nicole began to sound bitter and angry again. "If they think they can just judge me and my parenting, then they have got another thing coming." She even cracked her knuckles to prove her point.

"wait a minute mom." Said Anais. "Celestia and Luna are princesses. If you kill them, let alone hurt them, then you might become the most wanted criminal in their kingdom and you might be executed for doing that."

"I know that." The mother sang. "But I can get through this." She looked the other way, turning her back on the other family members. "Oh I am a horrible mother!" She began having a mental meltdown as she collapsed on the floor like a rag doll and then began spazzing out like she was having a seizure or an anyeurism while solling around on the floor like a wheel. Darwin, Anais, and Richard looked quite startled and confused. It was as if Nicole was having rabies. She was even foaming in the mouth from all the spastic sputtering she was doing.

Richard, being the idiotic buffoon he was, couldn't help but laugh at Nicole's spaz attack. Anais noticed this, and she growled. "What's so funny?" she asked demandingly

"What? Look at how silly she looks." the dad smirked

"Dad." Darwin scolded. "This is serious!"

"Well come on, what are the odds of someone spazzing out like that?" he even pulled out his phone to record the spaz attack on video.

"Dad!" Anais scolded some more, "you don't record someone having a mental breakdown like that! It's rude."

"Sorry."

It was just then, Nicole stopped her spaz attack, and immediately got back on her feet, looking like she got her calm composure back. "No, i'm sorry." Nicole breathed. "Like I said, i am a little depressed, that's all." without spazzing out, she got on her knees and said: "I am a terrible mother! Oh!" then she put her hands against her face and began bawling in pure depression and sadness. "My own son has run away because of me! Just look at me. My little Gummypuss gone and gone with these colorful ponies from a fever dream because of me."

"Mom, calm down." Anais comforted Nicole. "You're not a bad mom."

"Yes I am!" Nicole bawled some more. "The time i refused to support my two boys because they made fun of Richard. Oh! Celestia was right. I am a horrible mother." then she got her keys and went out the door.

"Mrs Mom, where are you going?" asked Darwin as he, Anais, and Richard followed Nicole through the front door.

"Wherever I want." Nicole wiped the tears from her eyes as she opened the driver's door of the station wagon. "Could be Canada, Mexico, or even Haiti. Heh, I can even drive all the way from here to Haiti by ocean." She let out a maniacal laugh and then begins bawling again as she drives off, over the speed limit, and making three cars crash off-course.

Looking quite shocked and perplexed, the other three family members were silent at watching the matriarchs' mind snap like a walnut. "The... police can handle this, right?" asked Darwin

"Maybe we should go ask aunt Penelope for help. Sure mom really hates her sister, but she knows how to calm people down." said Anais

In Equestria, Fluttershy was tucking Gumball in for a midday nap. The cat boy was feeling a little tired from helping out the yellow Pegasus with the animal friends earlier.

he didn't want to but he heard of what happens when Fluttershy gets really angry. It was always the nice ones that can be the scariest after all.

And besides, Gumball really likes Fluttershy and she is a good friend who stood by his side since he came to Equestria. "Thanks Fluttershy." said the blue cat boy. "But I don't this is all necessary."

"Oh I know, Gumball." Fluttershy finished tucking the kid in her bed. "But I want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. After helping me work and tend to the critters, I can tell you are feeling tired."

"Well I don't know if I am that tired." Said Gumball. Before he could say anything else, he let out a small yawn.

"uh-oh, I think you are." Fluttershy sang.
