Gumball: *asleep in his bed snoring*
Darwin: Mmmm... *yawns and looks at the timer* Mm... Woke up early... *looks at Gumball floating in his bed while sleeping* Gumball, I- *eyes widen* What the- What?!
Anais: *yawns and lifts herself up* Awake already, Darwin?
Darwin: Anais, look!
Anais: Whaaaat? I'm not up to look at videos now!
Darwin: No, seriously!! Look!!
Anais: Ugh, fine! *looks below her and gasps* WHAT THE-
Darwin: Shhhhh!! Don't wake him up! He'll freak out!
Gumball: Mmmm... *slowly opens his eyes* Morning already?
Darwin: *forces a smile for him* Morning, Gumball! 
Gumball: Uhh, hey, Darwin... We're supposed to be heading to school, right?
Darwin: Yeah, you woke up just in time!
Gumball: Hm... I'll get ready just so Mom won't get mad... *flips over his covers but suddenly thuds onto the bed* Ack! What the heck?!
Anais: You didn't realize you were floating in your sleep, right?
Gumball: Floating in my- Oh my gosh... Uuughhh... *sighs and rubs his eyes*

A great start to my day... I can literally float in the air while I'm asleep... This is just great...

Darwin: Hey, at least it isn't bad, right?
Gumball: It isn't bad? Do you really think that what happened yesterday is not gonna happen again when it just happened yesterday??
Anais: Well, you made it happen.
Gumball: No, Anais! It happened unexpectedly and not because of me!!
Darwin: I'm sure it won't happen again! *stands up from his bowl and jumps off* Besides, you're strong! I know you can control them even if the kids will make you mad!
Gumball: *sighs sadly and looks at him in need of reassurance* A-Are you sure...? What if... *looks down in fear of himself* What if I-
Darwin: Gumball. Look at me.
Gumball: *stares at him with a worried look*
Darwin: Nothing bad will happen as long as you have us, okay? Penny will also be there to help because she loves you. Am I right?
Gumball: Yeah... 
Darwin: You're gonna be alright... We're gonna be here for you, okay?
Gumball: Mmm... *hugs him and sighs* Yeah... Thanks, dude...
Darwin: No problem, bud... *pets his head while hugging back* I'm always here whenever you need me...
Nicole: *comes inside the room* Kids? What is going on here?
Anais: Ehhh, powers thing going on for him.
Nicole: Hmm... *frowns a little* Gumball, are you sure you can handle going to school today? Your new powers... It could cause-
Gumball: I'll be fine, Mom! Besides, I think I can handle them! If I can stay calm, then it will stay under control! *forces himself to smile with determination*
Nicole: Hmm... Alright. Just stay safe out there and stay calm, okay? *smiles a little at him*
Gumball: I won't let you down, Mom! *stands up from his bed and heads to the bathroom*

Things won't get worse. As long as I stay calm, nothing bad is gonna happen... I hope...

After breakfast...

Gumball: *waits outside the sidewalk and stands at the sidewalk near the road*
Darwin: You sure you're gonna be fine managing this?
Gumball: I'm sure, okay? I'm totally sure.
Anais: Are you sure you're going to handle the fact that you're a trend on Elmore StreamIt now?
Gumball: Don't jinx it, Anais. Like I said, I'm gonna be fine.
*bus arrives at their house and the doors open*

Breathe, Gumball... Breathe... Don't feel like becoming anything... Just be you...

Gumball: *walks up the stairs* Mm... *walks down the aisle looking around at everyone who's staring at him*
Masami: *whispers to Leslie* Wait until he sees how much of a star he is on StreamIt!
Leslie: *snickers and whispers* You're such a genius!!
Gumball: *looks down avoiding everyone staring at him and sits at a seat*
Darwin: *sits beside him at the seat* You good, dude?
Gumball: *breathes in and sighs calmly* I'm fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Darwin: You know I can call Mrs. Mom if you can't handle being here without losing control of your powers.
Gumball: No, I'm okay. I'm sure I can manage.
Tobias: Probably not! You're gonna start floating again like last time, haha!
Gumball: *jolts and looks down on himself seeing that he's not floating* Nnnhhhh...
Penny: Hey! Cut it out, will you?
Tobias: This isn't even your business, Penny.
Penny: I don't care! It isn't your business as well!
Tobias: Then why don't you shut up and stay the silent girl you used to be?!
Darwin: Guys, take it easy! You don't wanna scare Gumball!
Tobias: So what if I did? Would he cry like a baby again and curl up into a ball that his mom would have to carry every time? 
Masami: You haven't even checked StreamIt yet! He's gone viral as the very blue cat who floated up into the ceiling!
