And sure enough. Drawer raced back to the Watterson house and ran into the kitchen to find Gumball and Darwin watching their father disapprovingly. He gorged himself on the contents of the refrigerator while COMPLETELY in his underwear, leaving Steven to cover his own eyes in embarrassment while Richard just… wiggled his bottom as he had his feast.
Darwin just shuddered. “This is a new low.”
“Meh.” Gumball added. “Feels like a very familiar low.”
“Your dad moves so fast when there's food involved.” Steven admitted while uncovering one of his eyes in the process.
Gumball then grinned slyly. “Are you thinking what I'm thinking?”
“We use food to trick him into doing exercising!” they all exclaimed at the same time.
“Huh.” Gumball added. “That never usually works.”
Richard, however, stood up behind them, overhearing their plan. “You probably shouldn't have said your plan out loud right in front of me.”
“Don't worry.” Gumball whispered in slight fright. “His short-term memory is terrible.”
“So… What are we talking about?” Richard asked, meaning that was the case.
“Ah.” Drawer sighed in relief. “There it is.”
And that’s exactly what they did. They all began to commence their operation the next day, Richard was soon running on the sidewalk while chasing after pieces of candy. Up ahead, Gumball was on the back of a of Drawer's mini-bike, with Darwin in the attachable front basket dropping said candy.
“It's working!” Gumball exclaimed. “But it feels like something's missing.”
“A music montage sequence?” Drawer asked as he snickered.
Gumball just nodded with approval as a montage soon began it’s commence.
(Montage Sequence)
Throughout the whole day, Richard performed various exercises, while Steven, Drawer, Gumball and Darwin all provided the figurative carrot on a stick. They helped Richard by luring him next to a burger as he did some curl-ups, pulled a hotdog via a string from a fishing pole that Drawer was controlling while he did pull-ups, and even used noodles like a punching bag while Steven was holding the pot! They eventually used frosted donuts while he did some pretty sick moves!
Feel the heat when your heart's on fire!
Burn it up! Let it take you higher!
Tearin' down the walls that cage your mind!

Partway through, they replaced the junk food with healthy fruits and vegetables as the workout continued. After checking his face via a mirror, more pull-ups were ahead, but they used a banana instead of the hot dog. They even took things to new heights when Richard did LONGER curl-ups on Gumball and Darwin’s bunk bed with carrots as the crowning achievement. Even a finishing run with fruits and vegetables helped Richard as they all celebrated their triumphant victory in helping Richard be a lot healthier AND thinner than before.
“Whoo-hoo!” Gumball and Darwin cheered as they high-fived each other.
(End of Montage Sequence)
After a long hard day of incredibly tough workout training, they all entered the living room... but Richard remained outside! He was starting to get used to being in shape!
“I knew all we needed to get Dad fit was a montage.” Gumball smiled.
“Yeah! And quick too!” Darwin agreed. “It was under a minute!”
However, the song continued on in the background, much to the surprise and confusion of the others.
“That tune is so annoying.” Drawer sighed in annoyance. “Still got it going around in my head.”
“Me too.” Steven agreed.
As Gumball opened the door, the music just got louder while they witnessed Richard still losing more weight and becoming more thinner than ever before! It was going in the right direction for them after all!
“Oh, he's still montaging.” Darwin said in surprise.
“I'm sure he'll tire himself out soon.” Gumball added as he slammed the door shut.
...or would he?
