Nicole: *opens the door* We're here, Principal Brown.
Principal Brown: Good morning, Nicole. Good morning, Richard. Please have a seat.
Nicole: *sits down on the seat*
Richard: *sits down on the other seat*
Principal Brown: So, we called you in today because of the school bus incident that happened this morning.
Nicole: Yeah? Was Gumball involved in it?
Principal Brown: In fact, he was the main cause of it. *slides the laptop to their direction showing school bus footage of the scene that happened* This is what happened in the incident.
Nicole: *gasps and eyes widen while watching the footage* Oh... No...
Richard: So the dragon was Gumball?
Principal Brown: Yes. He shape-shifted into a dragon possibly due to his anger activating his new powers, am I right?
Nicole: *sees Gumball shape-shift into a dragon and spit fire at the kids behind him* Y-Yes... Correct.
Principal Brown: I'm going to be serious with this, Mrs. Watterson. Your son has caused major damage on the bus and it has added about two hundred thousand dollars to our school debt. Not to mention, a bit of property damage around the bus and endangerment of the students in the bus.
Nicole: I deeply apologize if that happened, Principal Brown. My son is struggling to control his powers, and he promised me this morning that he would control it. But seeing what happened... I don't- I... I just...
Richard: I mean, he was cool as a dragon, right?
Nicole: Richard, this is serious!!
Richard: Oh- Uhmm... *tone becomes solemn with concern* Yes. We're sorry that this happened.
Principal Brown: Do you have any plans to have Gumball control his new powers? Because we can't let him keep coming to school like this, hurting the students and breaking property.
Nicole: I don't know what to do. I don't have anything planned to help Gumball with this.
Richard: Maybe keep him in an empty room?
Nicole: That isn't gonna work. Gumball wouldn't like it when he's in silent rooms.
Principal Brown: I have a suggestion. Maybe take him to a boarding school with dormitories and let him live in there for about a month or two so he can control his powers there.
Nicole: Hmm... I'll have to find one online if doing so...
Richard: There isn't any boarding schools in Elmore! It's just towns and only one kindergarten center!
Principal Brown: Hm. *writes down on a paper form* I'll give you a month to pay half the debt for the school bus damage. You'll have three days to decide which boarding school to transfer him to. If he isn't transferred to another school by the deadline, he will be expelled unless you give some proof that he has maintained his powers. *slides the paper form to her* If the debt isn't paid by next month, we'll have to give you a warning or take strict action if necessary.
Nicole: I-I understand. I'll send an email on which boarding school to transfer him to.
Principal Brown: Thank you, Mrs. Watterson. We'll speak to you later when you choose the boarding school.
Nicole: Alright. *stands up and grabs Richard's hand* We're glad to have visited you today. *grabs the paper form* Take care. *smiles sadly at him while walking out of the office with Richard*

At Gumball's house in the bedroom...

Gumball: *on his phone talking with Penny* Yeah, I guess I'll be suspended for a few days...
Penny: I'm sorry that Tobias and Jamie made you so mad... They just don't know when to stop, do they?
Gumball: I guess... *sighs sadly* I don't know what else is gonna happen... Will I get punished for this?
Penny: Probably... But it won't be that bad, right?
Gumball: I don't know... I've already caused so much issues with everyone already and now they all hate me and want me gone...
Penny: Well, at least I don't hate you because I know you're a good person! Hehe!
Gumball: Yeah, heh... Thanks, Penny... *smiles a bit*
Darwin: *opens the door* Hey, dude. Uhhh, Mrs. Mom and Mr. Dad are back.
Gumball: Oh, yeah yeah, got it. *to Penny* Look, Penny, my parents are home and I don't think I should be on the phone now, so... I gotta go.
Penny: Alright then! Stay safe out there, Gumball!
Gumball: You too... *ends the call and sighs putting his phone near Darwin's bowl* 
Nicole: *heads to her room along with Richard* Okay... Now to see what schools there are. *goes on the laptop and presses the power button*
Richard: You're going to use the internet to find a school?
Nicole: Yes, it's the only way...
