Gumball Watterson was tired. From the moment he got home, all he wanted to do was plop down onto his bed and sleep his worries away, and with what happened during today, who could blame him?

What was supposed to be a normal day at Elmore Junior High turned out to be much more than what Gumball or anyone at the school bargained for. The school's superintendent, Superintendent Evil (a very subtle name, no one can not trust him with a name like that), decided to make a surprise visit and decides to eliminate every trace of the school's "cartoony conduct".

What followed was Evil proceeding to "fix" most of Elmore Junior High by turning them into weird fleshy meat bags like him, removing all the weirdness out of everyone in the school, except Gumball and Darwin. Narrowly escaping, they eventually put an end to Evil's reign over the school and weirdness once again reigned supreme.

It was soon revealed that Superintendent Evil was actually Rob in disguise, Gumball's self-proclaimed nemesis. He claimed that he only did the things he did to help Elmore in the long run, warning everyone in the school of an oncoming danger. But just as he was about to warn everyone about Elmore's impending doom and what to do to stop it, Tina Rex knocked him out unconscious right in front of everyone's eyes for no apparent reason.

Gumball was honestly confused about everything that transpired the entire day. What was gonna happen to Elmore? Why did Rob specifically want to turn everyone into those fleshy meat bags? And why is transformation so important to the safety of him and the rest of Elmore? He thought about them on the bus ride home, but couldn't care less about them at the moment.

His focus was getting some rest, and those world-ending questions can be saved for another day. Gumball knew that Elmore can survive anything, and I mean literally anything. From giant monsters, natural disasters, living objects, to his father getting a job, Elmore still stood strong despite it all. For now, some well-needed naptime awaited Gumball back at home.

When Gumball opened the door to his house, he saw his family doing what they usually did. Richard was on the couch dozing off, Anais was doing advanced algebra homework at the dinner table, and Nicole was currently washing the dishes (She was given a day off by Mr. Yoshida, much to her surprise).

Nicole smiled as she saw her two boys walk into the house. "Oh, hey, boys! How was-" Gumball ignored her, instead opting to walk up the stairs to his room. The sound of the door to his room slamming shut filled the house, "-school?" Nicole frowned in concern.

Nicole looked towards her other son, Darwin, who was visibly trembling in place. "Darwin, is Gumball alright?" She asks.

Darwin's skin grew pale at the mere mention of his name, streams of sweat pouring down his face "Uh...d-don't worry about him, M-Mrs. Mom, Gumball had a bit of a r-rough day at school." Darwin reassured Nicole. "I'm sure by tomorrow he'll be fine."

Nicole raised an eyebrow at Darwin. "Okay...well what about you, Darwin? How's school?"

Darwin's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates in addition to his pale skin at the mere mention of his day at school. "Oh! Um...s-school! S-School was great!"

Nicole looked at her adopted son with concern. "Darwin, are you okay?"

"Yup! I'm fin-f-flippin-tastically fine! Why'd you ask?!" Darwin frantically responded, actively trying to remove himself from the conversation.

Nicole frowned. "Firstly, you've never used 'fin-flippin-tastic' since you were four, secondly when people say their day was fine they obviously don't mean it, and thirdly your sweat is flooding the house."

Darwin looked down to see his legs drenched in an ocean of his own sweat. He looked around to see the rest of the house flooded, with Anais sitting on a floating chair, gently rocking around the house, and Richard still asleep on his now floating couch, re-emerging from below.
