Spongebob, Patrick, Gumball, and Darwin sit on the couch while watching some good ol' television.

They're currently watching the fantasy series, "Lord of the Things." 

"What are you guys watching?" asked Finn, walking into the room.

"Lord of the Things," said Darwin. "It's a fantasy series about a fellowship including a grandmaster wizard from a school called Lizard Scales, the Dwarf King, a Demon, a Human, a Nordic Elf, and a Halfling, all trying to throw away The Thing into a volcano."

"The 'Thing'?" asked Finn.

"The One Thing to Rule Them All!" exclaimed Gumball. "It's only the most popular reference in this dimension's media! No one knows what it looks like! It exists in a briefcase that the heroes bring to the volcano!"

"Gumball, you've only been in this dimension for a month," said Finn.

"A briefcase?" asked Josuke, walking in. "That's odd. Why would a briefcase be in a fantasy series?"

"HATER!!!" shouted the four.

"BOO YOU!!!" shouted Gumball, pointing to Josuke. "BOO... THE YOU!!!"

"You clearly just don't understand how fantasy works!" shouted Patrick. ""

"That's a toxic fandom for you," said Josuke, sipping the coffee in his hand. "God, I love coffee."

"You do realize that we've just lost the serial killer we were supposed to hunt down, right?" asked Finn.

"Bah!" said Gumball, as he returned the straw in his mouth of the soda he's drinking.

The three leave to tend to their own businesses.

"Guys!" shouted Darwin. "Look! R.R.R.R.R. Robert is visiting in town!"

"Who?" asked Gumball, drinking another bottle of soda.

"R.R.R.R.R. Robert? The guy who wrote the book version of the movie?" asked Darwin.

"Eh..." said Gumball.

"Guys?" asked Darwin. The other two, Spongebob and Patrick, continued ignoring him.

"Why are you guys acting like you don't care?!" asked Darwin.

"Those guys usually shouldn't be idolized like that," said Gumball, increasing the volume. "They usually have large egos and break their fan's hearts... I honestly don't think we should. Especially in your case."

"What about my case?" asked Darwin, squinting his eyes.

"Mr. Robinson?" asked Gumball.

"Mr. Robinson likes us!" shouted Darwin.

"I wasn't talking about me, dude. I'm talking about you," said Gumball.

"Y-You really think that he doesn't like me?!" asked Darwin.

Gumball shrugs. "Probably. Who knows?"

"I'm still going!" shouted Darwin. Darwin reads the tickets.

"And there's a free buffet for paid visitors!" shouted Darwin.

The other three immediately stand up.

"Wow, guys," said Darwin. "Just wow. I have so much faith in humanity right now."

"We aren't humans, Darwin. And we need some money," said Gumball.

Darwin makes a call. "Hey, Mr. Kars? Money, please!
Y-Yeah?
For a... mission...?
Yeah... Uh-huh...
Yes, we have a lead... She must be in the FantastiCon.
Yep... that convention.
No, it's not a con. It's just called like that because it's short for Convention.
Okay... bye."
