Gumball was having a nice little stroll through the Ponyville park with Fluttershy and Pip. The wind was gentle and nice against their skins, and there was the sound of some children laughing as they were flying some kites... holding the strings in their mouths. It looked a little strange, but yet again, ponies are odd-hoofed ungulates with only one toe in each of their four feet.

One of them was a blue unicorn filly, who used the matic from her horn to hold her string in place, so it was easier for those kind of ponies to physically grapple on things.

Fluttershy let out a sigh of bliss and said: "it's so beautiful today. What do you think, Gumball?"

"It's way better than the air in my world." The cat boy admitted. "This kind of place can be enough to calm my mom down if she was at her angriest."

"You're mum's scary?" Asked Pipsqueak

"When she's angry, yes." Gumball had a look of pure fear in his eyes. "She even has the power to turn into a scary monster and eat people alive."

"What?" Said Pip, sounding scared by the sound of Nicole. The colt was already thinking how terrifying his friends' mom was and actually eating people alive.

"Oh don't be silly." said Fluttershy. "It's not very nice to talk about your mother like that."

"Sorry, Fluttershy, but you don't know her like I do. Trust me, if you had her as your mom, you'd understand why i am scared of her."

Fluttershy made a small giggle. "Oh you kids and your imagination." She brushed off.

"I wish my mom was more line you, Fluttershy." The cat boy admitted. "Someone so kind, sweet, caring, and always willing to help others."

"Aww, you're so sweet, Gumball. But you shouldn't overthink bad things. It'll only make you miserable. Just look around and enjoy the beautiful fresh air of the outside. Let your nose take in the lovely smell of the flowers."

Gumball did just that and inhaled some yellow daisies next to him, and replied: "Smells like the flowers back home to me."

"Oh Gumball." Fluttershy sighed. "Have you tried contacting your family at least?"

"Pfft, like i haven't been trying, Fluttershy?" Gumball pulled out his phone and explained. "I have been trying and trying to get ahold of dad, Darwin, and Anais day after day, over and over again. Calling them, texting them, no signal!" he then let out a small growl in frustration. "It's probably because i am in a whole new universe that the phone is not very familiar with!" he slammed it on the grass in frustration. Good thing it was on the grass, otherwise it would have been smashed to smithereens. Or the screen would just be broken from the impact of the fall.

The yellow pegasus and multi-colored colt felt bad for their friend from another dimension, and it was clear that Gumball misses his own family, even if he doesn't show it on the outside. The only creature that can get Gumball back to his own homeworld is Discord, since that is how the cat boy got her before. Maybe... the princesses can help him out with that. Create some kind of spell or some sort of invention that can have Gumball Text to his friends and family through his phone.

"I'm very sorry that you're going through a hard time in trying to reach out to them." said Pipsqueak.

"Yeah, they're your family and you should still at least see them." Fluttershy gave him a sad smile. "But I think i know somepony that can help out with that."

"Who?" asked Gumball


Meanwhile, back in Elmore, Nicole was still struggling with the yoga, even with the most calming techniques, she still had all of this anger and stress within her. While she nailed even the most difficult yoga poses, there was not much that can be done about her anger and frustrations inside of her. It was a very concerning matter to process for everyone else in her own family. Penelope, being the sweet kind of sister she was, offered Nicole something very nice and generous.

"Look, little sister," said Penelope, "I understand that the yoga and exercises that I've provided you with have not been working out."

Nicole gave a sad sigh before replying: "You think?" and bowed her head in shame. "I'm trying so hard to relieve all of this anger and stress within me, but... nothing seems to be working."

"To be fair," said her sister, "I blame that on dad."

Nicole gave another sigh. "Yeah, he was always one to short-fuse whenever something bad happens or if he doesn't get his own way." Both of them had a good laugh about how funny it was when their dad shouted and got angry for many reasons. Sadly, that was a trait that Nicole got from all too well. She was more like her own father than her mother. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. "So anyway, what is it that you want to give me?"

Gently giving her a pamphlet, it read: "Peace, Pools, and Paradise" sauna and spa. "I was going to use it on myself, but seeing how you're not... doing so well in yoga, i think you should have it more, Nicole,"

"Well... why would you even have this in the first place, Penelope? You're the most calm and chill person i know."

"Yes but it feels good to be in a hot tub or a steam room. Come on, who doesn't like that kind of feeling?" Penelope countered.

"very good point."

"Look, i haven't seen you in a long while and i want to patch things up with you. So... why don't you and the guys stay here a little longer?"

"Yeah. Why not?"
