Today's the day I have to go. I'm really scared and I don't wanna go. But Mom says it for the best, so... I just hope things go well...
Gumball: *puts his laptop in his backpack*
Darwin: You have everything?
Gumball: Yeah... *sighs sadly* I just need my toothbrush and some packs of paper.
Darwin: Your toothbrush is already packed in the small pocket.
Gumball: Oh... *looks at the small pocket in front of the backpack and unzips it seeing his toothbrush* Right. Just get me another pack of paper. I might need it.
Darwin: Alright. *walks out of the room*
Gumball: *sighs and looks down for a moment*
Anais: *comes inside the room* Gumball, Mom said she's ready to go.
Gumball: Y-Yeah, I'm coming. *puts on his backpack* I was just thinking to myself for a moment.
Anais: About what?
Gumball: You don't have to know... *walks down the hallway*
Anais: Is it about your powers?
Gumball: I don't wanna talk about it. *starts walking down the stairs*
Anais: Mm... Alright.I just don't know how to process this... It feels like someone is hitting me in the back with a chopping ax or something more dangerous than that.
Gumball: *walks down the stairs and looks at Richard sleeping on the couch*
Nicole: *calls for him waiting near the car* Honey, I'm outside!
Gumball: But what about Dad...? Isn't he supposed to-
Nicole: Don't mind about him. He ate a midnight snack last night for no reason. *smiles sadly at him*
Gumball: Mm... Yeah, I guess he always does that... *leaves the house and walks down the stairs heading to Nicole*
Nicole: You have all your things packed?
Gumball: Yeah... I have everything packed, Mom...
Darwin: Gumball, waaait! *runs down the stairs and rushes to him lending him a pack of paper* You forgot your extra pack of paper. *lends him his headphones* And your headphones too.
Gumball: Agh- I almost forgot! Thanks for getting them, Darwin... *grabs them and unzips his backpack putting the pack of paper and headphones inside*
Anais: Gumball, you forgot your pencil sharpener and your pencils! *walks downs the stairs coming to him and lends him the pencils*
Gumball: Oh... Thanks... *grabs the pencils and pencil sharpener and stuffs it in his backpack*
Nicole: Is that all the stuff you have?
Gumball: Yeah... That's all.Wait, do I have my phone? I could have sworn I put it in my-
Gumball: *digs under his back pocket and feels his phone* Oh... Phew... Y-Yeah, that's all I have, Mom.
Nicole: Did you say goodbye to Penny?
Gumball: Y-Yeah, I did just yesterday...
Nicole: What about Darwin and Anais?
Gumball: Mmm... *looks at Darwin and Anais*
Darwin: *gulps and tries to hold his tears back* Before you say anything, w-we're not mad at you. *voice breaks while speaking* It isn't your fault that the incident happened and it isn't your fault that Mrs. Mom-
Gumball: *rushes to him and hugs him tightly sobbing gently while tears stream down his face* Aaahuh-ahuh-ahuh-ahuh-ahuh-ahuh... *hicc* Auh- *hicc* Auhh- *hicc*
Darwin: Nnnnhhhh, Gumbaaaaalll!! *tears stream down his face and hugs him back* Aaaauhhhh-heeuuuuhh-heeeuuuuhhhhh...! *hicc*
Anais: *hugs Gumball while trying to wipe her tears* We're really going to miss you, G-Gumball... *sniff*
Nicole: *frowns a little and approaches the three hugging them* He will be okay, kids... He just needs to get his powers under control...
Darwin: Wh-When is Gumball gonna come back, Mrs. Mom? *sniff*
Nicole: In about two months...
Darwin: That's too long!! *hicc* I want him to come back earlier!!
Anais: Darwin, it takes about a month or two for someone to control their powers... He's gonna need it since his powers are very unstable...
Gumball: Nnh- I might as well- *sniff* Need it- *hicc*
Richard: *comes out of the entrance door* Uhhmm... *yawns and rubs his eyes* What's going on? *sees the four hugging* A group hug?? Let me join in! *rushes to them and hugs them all tightly*
Nicole: Richaaaard!!
Richard: *realization hits and tone becomes sad* Oh, right... Gumball's leaving...
Gumball: I-It's fine... *sniffles and wipes his eyes* I can handle this... I-I know I can...! *sniff* I just... I have to stay strong... *sniffles and wipes his eyes* This is the only thing that can h-help me control my new powers...
Darwin: Are you sure you're gonna be alright, dude...? *sniff*
Gumball: I promise that I will be okay, buddy... I'll come back better than ever... *smiles in tears* I promise...
Darwin: Alright... I wish you luck, Gumball... *smiles in tears as well*
Gumball: *sighs and wipes his eyes* I'm ready to go, Mom...
Nicole: Alright. *looks at her phone and checks the time* We're twenty minutes early, so we should get going. *walks to the car and opens the driver door*
Gumball: Yeah... *prepares to walk to the car but stops for a moment*
Nicole: Gumball? Are you coming?
Gumball: *turns around and hugs Darwin again* G-Goodbye, Darwin... Please stay safe out there, okay...? *sniff* I'll be back soon...
Darwin: I promise I'll stay strong for you, dude... *sniffles and hugs him back*
Gumball: *lets him go and smiles at him wiping Darwin's tears*
Nicole: You're ready to go now?
Gumball: Yes, I'm ready, Mom... *sighs and wipes his eyes* I'm ready to go.
Nicole: Okay, then get in. *sits in the driver's seat and puts the key in the slot turning the car on*
Gumball: *opens the passenger door and sits in the seat closing the door*
Darwin/Anais/Richard: *waves goodbye to Gumball*
Gumball: *waves goodbye back as Nicole drives the car out into the road*
