S07E03: The Ex-Lover

Rachel's return
[As the morning sun shines over Elmore, all the students have arrived at Junior High. In the hallway, we see Gumball and Penny talking to eachother, Banana Joe grabbing some books out of his locker, Masami and Leslie having some small talk and Ocho walking by. The camera focuses on Gumball and Penny.]
Gumball: (Smugly) So, what do you say you and I turn on some Karate Kitten tonight? Darwin will be over at Carrie's house so you and I have the entire house for ourselves...
Penny: (Sighs, annoyed) That's the sixth time today that you have mentioned Karate Kitten... And no, I am NOT watching Karate Kitten! It's just some dumb movie about a cat who realizes his full potential and goes out to beat up some bad guys! It's nothing original about it!!
[Suddenly, the sound of footsteps and a panting person can be heard down the echoing hallway.]
???: (Huff), (Puff)
[The person cuts the corner and shows himself. It is revealed to be Tobias with a frightened look on his face.]
Tobias: (In panic) Rachel is back!!!
[Everyone looks at Tobias in surprise.]
Everyone: (Gasps) WHAT!?
[Everyone reacts one by one by saying her name in shock.]
Leslie: Rachel!?
Penny: Rachel!?!
Carmen: (Drops her notebooks that she was carrying out of fright) Rachel!!??
Tina Rex: RACHEL!!??
[And so, everyone desperately tries to hide. First we see Banana Joe, Ocho, Juke and Tina running away. Then we see Gumball as she pushes Penny into a locker then squeezes himself into the same locker with her, while Leslie and Masami runs by in the same shot. Thirdly, the camera cuts to Tina pushing her head through the girl's bathroom door. She gets gets stuck but then manages to squeeze through and runs away, destroying the entire wall. Lastly, Bobert presses down his power button on his stomach. He starts booting down and his cyclop shows a computer logo with a jingle resembling the Windows XP shutdown sound before he goes into power mode.]
...
[Everything goes quiet. We see eyes peeking out from the red lockers, belonging to unknown students. Bobert is still in the hallway in power mode.]
[Suddenly, the camera changes to a shadow silhouette emerging from the other side of the hallway, with the person being unseen behind a corner. The silhouette resembles an outlaw, as you can see a shadow of a revolver and a cowboy hat. You can also hear some "spaghetti western" music playing in the background.]
Unknown female voice: (Heavy southern accent) So... which son of a gun 'ere forced me to come back to this dreaded place!?
[The person reveals itself to be Rachel, as she appears behind the corner. The wild west music plays even louder when showing herself.]
Rachel: (Happily) I'm just kidding, I love this place!!
[Rachel then goes from being serious to skipping her way through the hallway. We see the eyeballs from the lockers all staring at her as she waddles by.]
[Camera cuts to showing Gumball and Penny inside one of the lockers as they're watching Rachel through the vent holes.]
Gumball: (Whispers) What is she doing here!?
Penny: (Squints her eyes warily) I don't know... Didn't she move to college or something...?
[Gumball looks at Penny confused.]
Gumball: Um... Why would a fifteen-year-old go to college??
Penny: (Shrugs shoulders) Meh, I don't know... It was just a guess.
[The camera goes back to the hallway again. We see Rachel walking up to Bobert.]
Rachel: (Gasps in excitement) A robot!
Rachel presses down her hand on Bobert's power button and boots him up again. We see his cyclop go from black to his normal bootup screen again.]
Rachel: You must be a new student here!
Bobert: (Panics and speaks in robotic voice.) Please have mercy, please...have...mercyyyyyoooouuu...
[Bobert malfunctions and collapses on the floor as smoke comes out of his system. Rachel looks down at him, bewildered.]
Rachel: (Confused) O-okay? Um, weird...
[Meanwhile down the same hallway, Darwin and Carrie arrives at the scene. Darwin is carrying books with his left fins while holding hands with Carrie with his right fin.]
Darwin: So how about we watch a movie after school?
Carrie: Sure! (Lets go of Darwin's hand) But this time... (Points at herself) I get to choose the movie!
Darwin: (Shocked) Whaaaat!? What's so wrong about my movies?
Carrie: We've been watching the same romance movies for the past two weeks now that you found on "Natflex"... (Smirks) How about we... stir things up a little with some old DVD's??
[Carrie conjures up four DVD cases and holds them up, spreading them like playing cards. Darwin squints his eyes to take a closer look.]
Darwin: (Gasps, horrified) Night-mare on Elmore Street? 18 plus!?! That trilogy is wayyy too mature for us!!
Carrie: (Flatly) Darwin, I'm three hundred years old. Remember?
Darwin: (Realizes) Oh yeah... sometimes I forget how old you really are because of how young you... (Dazed) Looooooookkkkkkkk...
[Darwin's ability to talk disappears as he notices Rachel on the other side of the hallway. His pupils contracts in shock and he also has his mouth agape.]
Rachel: Hm??
[Rachel looks up from the ground and notices Darwin too. The screen turns pink with roses surrounding Rachel and Darwin as they look at eachother. Rachel's eyes starts sparkling as she stares even more at Darwin. The moment gets broken by Rachel's shouting.]
Rachel: (Excited) Hi, Darwin!
(*WHOOSH*!!)
[Back where Darwin stood, he is revealed to have disappeared without a trace. but this time Darwin His books have been dropped on the ground next to Carrie and papers are floating around on the spot that Darwin once stood on. Carrie doesn't notice that Darwin has disappeared until she looks to her left.]
Carrie: (Confused) Where did he go?
----------
The great escape
[Scene cuts back to Darwin, showing what he is doing. He is desperately running through the corridors, both frightened but embarassed as he has a blush on his face. We hear him puffing loudly aswell.]
Darwin: (Embarrassed) Why is she here!? And why now!?
[It proceeds to show Darwin pushing away Sarah, making her face fall out of her cone. He also slides under coach Russo as she blocks the hallway. Darwin then accidentally steps on Banana Joe, making his body fire out of his banana peel.
Banana Joe: AAAAAAHHHH!!!
Alan: Hm? WHAT THE–
[Banana Joe strikes right into Alan who gets popped from the impact.]
Darwin: This isn't happening!
[Darwin is then seen cutting a corner, stands still and looks around. He desperately looks for a place to hide. The scene then shows Carrie's locker a bit further away covered in stickers of skulls and bats.]
Darwin: (Gasps) Of course! Carrie's locker!
[He quickly runs up to her locker, opens the door and enters it, forcefully shutting the door after him. Beat. Everything goes quiet.]
Darwin: (Muffled) Oooohhh, is that a piece of seaweed?? I love– (Gets bitten) OWW!! Why would she have venus flytraps in her locker!?!
--------
Hiding from love
[The school bell rings. We get an overshot of the hallway as all the students goes out for lunch. We also see Carrie floating up to her locker.]
Carrie: (Opens up locker) AAAHH!!
[Carrie gets frightened as she sees Darwin in there, packed like a sardine and drops her books on the ground. Darwin smiles with an awkward face at her.]
Darwin: Hi, Carrie... Eheheh...
Carrie: (Deadpan) Um, what are you doing here?
[Darwin then pops out of the locker and is seen barrel-rolling across the floor until he his head into the other lockers across the hallway.]
Darwin: (Stands up embarrassed) Sorry, I forgot to tell you that the school has a r-rat infestation right now... I-I was just gonna check if your locker wasn't a nest!
[Darwin smiles exaggerated at Carrie, who's looking back at him bewildered.]
Carrie: Um... You were looking for rats in my locker...?
Darwin: (Nods) Uh-huh!
Carrie: (Suspicious) Really? I don't think the first place you look for rodents is in someone's locker.
Darwin: Oh... is that so...? (Rubs the back of his head.) I guess I did it wrong...
Carrie: (Points at Darwin's left fin) Aaannd, you're currently holding my pet plant.
[Darwin quickly realizes that a venus flytrap from Carrie's locker has gnawed its teeth into his fin. Darwin shakes it off, making it hit the floor and pass out.]
Carrie: Anyways, I'm heading to lunch. So, I guess I'll see you there?
Darwin: (Giggles awkwardly) Y-you bet so!
Carrie: [Pats Darwin's head and kisses him on his forehead.] Awesome!
[Carrie floats away.]
Darwin: I'll be there in ten!
[Darwin looks after Carrie as she floats down the hallway.]
Darwin: Hm? (GASP)!!
[Darwin then suddenly notices Rachel talking to Leslie behind him.]
Darwin: AAAHH!!
[He quickly merges back into Carrie's locker and shuts the door. Carrie notices and looks back. She sighs and does a facepalm.]
----------
At lunch
[The scene cuts to the school cafeteria. It's lunch time and Darwin is sitting by a table with Carrie, just like he promised. Darwin is seen hastily eating his hamburger, while Carrie is staring at him, confused.]
Carrie: I don't think you should eat that fast...
Darwin: (Talks with his mouth full.) Fahft!? Donch't be ridiculosf! Thimf ish how I umfually eat!
[Darwin then suddenly reurgitates the burger he ate in perfect condition, similar to how he did in "The Matchmaker". He then winces sadly and face-plants his head into the table.]
Darwin: Mmm...
[Gumball and Penny then arrives holding hands together.]
Gumball: Hey, dude! What's up?
Carrie: (Shrugs) Darwin's having trouble with his digestive system again, apparently.
Darwin: (Squeaks) What!? No, I'm not! It's just- oh wait, hold on...
Carrie: Wait for it...
[Darwin then spits out the water from his cup, which lands directly on Penny's face. She wipes it off with a napkin and sighs.]
Carrie: And there it is!
[Suddenly, Darwin notices Rachel walking into the cafeteria. She is seen talking to Carmen and Teri.]
Gumball: Dude, why are you so red?
[The camera goes back to Darwin who is revealed to have blushed so much that his entire face has reddened. He is also extremely sweaty.]
Darwin: (Acts cool) Oh, it's nothing... S-sunburn, am I right? (He nudges Carrie with his elbow.) Ha ha ha ha ha...
Carrie: It's 30 degrees outside in the middle of autumn...
Darwin: (Nervously) Oh jeez, then it sure is hot outside! (Jumps off his seat) Better go grab my sun- uuuuhh... lotion...
[Darwin slowly backs away from Gumball, Penny and Carrie before attempting to run away. He doesn't notice Rachel standing right next to him and runs right into her legs, knocking him down to the floor. Rachel notices him and looks down at him.]
Rachel: Oh! Hi, Darwin!
[Darwin's face turns into two dots and a line resembling his eyes and his mouth from the sight of Rachel.]
Darwin: AAAAAHHHHH!!!
[He quickly pushes Rachel out of the way and throws himself out of the cafeteria. Rachel turns and looks after him.]
Rachel: Wait!! Darwin, where are you going!?
[Carrie groans in annoyance and teleports next to Rachel.]
Carrie: Ugh... Excuse him, he's kind of an idiot.
Rachel: (Baffled) Yeah, It's not him to act that way...
[It cuts to Gumball and Penny back at the table.]
Gumball: (Triumphed) Huh... I guess that all Darwin needs is a dose of the movie Karate Kitten! Have you ever seen it before? It's amazing!!
Penny: (Sighs) Let's just go after him!
----------
Don't tell Carrie!
[We get a montage of Darwin flashing through the corridors of the school. As he sprints by, Darwin manages to leave a trail of fire behind him.]
Darwin: I gotta get out of here! Oh, I know! I'll call mister Dad! He'll get me out of here!
[Darwin quickly grabs his phone from his pockets while sprinting.]
Darwin: Alright, let's see... 2467- OUF!
[Without paying attention, Darwin runs right into Penny as she is blocking the way, which makes him fall to the ground. She and Gumball both stands in front of Darwin with their arms folded.]
Darwin: WHAT THE— How did you guys get here so quickly!?
Gumball: (Shrugs) Well, the camera cut away from us so we magically got teleported here! (Laughs) Just kidding, we took a shortcut!
Penny: (Strictly) Alright, Darwin! It's time come straight with us. Carrie told us you've been acting like this the entire day!
Darwin: Entire day!? (Acts cool) Oh, stop it! I was just um... getting my sun lotion!
[Darwin grabs a bottle of something unknown from his back pocket and shows it to Gumball and Penny]
Darwin: See!?
Gumball: (Raises eyebrow) That's a hand sanitizer, dude...
[The camera zooms in on the bottle, revealing the label which says "Doctor Nathaniel's hand-healing spirits".]
Darwin: (Chuckles) Don't be silly, it's sun lotion! Let me show you!
[Darwin attempts to squirt some of the hand sanitizer on his face, but manages to get it in his eyes.]
Darwin: (In pain) AAAAAHHH! IT BURNS!
[Darwin collapses to the floor.]
Penny: (Groans) Darwin, can you stop acting like a circus clown and just tell us? Please??
[Darwin makes himself on his feet again and sighs in defeat, still with reddened eyes after the hand sanitizer incident.]
Darwin: It's Rachel that is the problem...
Gumball and Penny: What!?
[Gumball folds his arms.]
Gumball: (Suspicious) You're not cheating on Carrie now, are you?
[Darwin shakes his head to get rid of his red swollen eyes and they now appear to be normal again.]
Darwin: (Nervously) No, no, no! It's just... remember that one time...
----------
[Scene fades into a flashback from the episode "The party". It shows the scene after Darwin cleaned the entire house after the mess Tobias's friends had left behind. He, Gumball, Penny and Rachel are all standing by the entrance of the Wilson house.]
Darwin: Finished!
Rachel: Darwin... You're the best kid ever! How come you don't have a girlfriend?
Darwin: What do I need a girlfriend for?
Rachel : This... (She Kisses Darwin's cheek lovingly)
[Darwin's eyes widens in daze.]
Darwin: [Whispering] Everything's so clear now. [Flips upside down with a huge smile on his face]
Rachel : Is he gonna be alright?
Gumball: Yeah, yeah, he'll be fine.
----------
[Flashback ends and the scene goes back to Darwin, Gumball and Penny again.]
Gumball and Penny: (At once) Oh yeah...
Darwin: (Rubs the back of his head and blushes) Well, we kinda started becoming friends after that...
Gumball: WHAT!?
[Gumball's reaction is so loud that it knocks Darwin backwards.]
Darwin: And started dating...
Gumball: WHAT!?
[Gumball knocks Darwin backwards again.]
Darwin: And she became my girlfriend...
Gumball: WHAT!?
[He knocks back Darwin one last time.]
Darwin: (Annoyed) Can you stop doing that!?
Penny: (Ponders) So if I have understood this right, you want to avoid meeting Rachel so she doesn't damage your relationship with Carrie... Am I correct?
Darwin: Yeah... (Rubs his fin in guilt) I mean to be fair... Rachel is smart, she is cute and she is social... She also has the looks and most importantly is that she actually has a body. But under no circumstances is she gonna replace Carrie! She is- (Realized) aaannnndddd, she's standing right behind me, isn't she?
[Gumball and Penny both nods nervously as they notice Rachel standing right behind Darwin. Darwin slowly turns around and sees Rachel with a huge blush on her face. He whimpers in fear.]
Rachel: (Dreamily) Oh, Darwin... That was the sweetest thing someone has ever said about me!~
[Rachel starts inching towards Darwin. Darwin slowly backs away nervously.]
Darwin: (Stammers) R-Rachel! C-can't we just talk about this first!?!
Rachel: (Enamoured) What is there to talk about? I never realized you felt that way about me! We truly are still meant for eachother, even after all these months...
[Rachel starts walking faster towards Darwin and Darwin responds by backing away quicker.]
Darwin: I-I didn't m-mean it like-
Rachel: Oh, it's gonna be so much fun being back here! Just imagine how many fun things we're gonna do! Just you and I...
[Suddenly, Darwin slips backwards and falls to the ground. He starts crawling away from Rachel.]
Darwin: Rachel, you're cute and all, but please liste-
Rachel: Am I!? Oh Darwin, you're so cute when you call me that!
[He makes it to the other side of the hallway and has his back against the lockers. Rachel has closed him in and is staring him down romantically.]
Rachel: (Blushes) I'd say we celebrate this friendship with a kiss!
Darwin: Wait! No!
[Rachel leans forwards to kiss Darwin on the mouth. The time turns into slow-motion. Gumball and Penny runs and throws themselves towards Darwin and Rachel.]
Gumball and Penny: (In slow-motion together) NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!––
[But Rachel manages to kiss Darwin on the mouth, even though Gumball and Penny tried to stop it. The time goes back to normal; Gumball and Penny falls face-first to the ground.]
[Down the hallway, Carrie appears behind a corner. She is carrying her DVD cases from earlier.]
Carrie: So Darwin, do you prefer Night-mare on Elmore Street 2 or Night-mare on Elmore Street Remastered? Personally, I am NOT a fan of rema-
[She stands still as she sees Darwin and Rachel kissing. She drops the DVD cases on the ground, in shock and despair when she sees them.]
[Darwin notices Carrie and pushes Rachel out of the way, making her fall to the ground. Darwin gets up on his feet again.]
Darwin: Carrie! It's not what it looks like, PLEASE just hear me out!!
[It goes silent for a few seconds and Carrie is seen tearing up.]
Carrie: aaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!
[Her emotions quickly goes from sadness to anger and she lets out a scream that makes the entire hallway rumble. Gumball and Penny are both seen hugging eachother out of fear.]
(Click...)
[Suddenly, the power goes out. The screen turns completely black.]
Gumball: (Whispers) Is she gone...?
Penny: (Whispers) I think so...
Darwin: (Angered) Get your stupid hands off me, Rachel!
[The power then comes back on and Carrie is seen in a much bigger, more terrifying shape than before. Without hesitation, she grabs Rachel with her ghost tail and drags her across the corridor.]
Rachel: (Distant) HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!!!
Darwin: (Shout) WAIT! CARRIE!
[Darwin tries to run after her but fails miserably as he falls to the ground.]
Darwin: PLEASE, JUST WAIT!!
[Darwin looks down at the ground, disheartened. He starts tearing up.]
Darwin: No...
[Suddenly, Tobias appears out of nowhere behind them, exhausted after sprinting.]
Tobias: (Pants) Have you guys seen my sister!? The power just went out so I decided to go look after her!
Gumball: (Nervously) Hehe, your sister? Well, she and Carrie kinda-
[Penny covers Gumball's mouth with her hand, making him unable to finish the sentence.]
Penny: She and Carrie went on a uuuuhhhh... small picnic, that's all! (She smiles awkwardly)
Tobias: (Surprised) Oh! Well, thank goodness she's in good hands. Just tell Carrie to give her back by three, alright?
Gumball: (Sweating) S-sure, bud!
[Gumball does an awkward high-five with him and Tobias runs away.]
Gumball: (Terrified) Dude, this is bad!! We've got to get Rachel back again or we're screwed!!
Penny: But what about Carrie!? We need to get her back, too!
Gumball: (Rolls eyes) Oh please, what does Carrie mean when it comes to–
[Penny gives Gumball a disapproving look.]
Gumball: (Hesitates) -aaaahhh I mean of course we'll get her back! Right, Darwin?
[No response from Darwin.]
Gumball: ...Darwin?
[The camera shows Darwin as he's crying on the floor. He holds a portrait of him and Carrie in his hands. Penny and Gumball both walk up to him worriedly.]
Penny: (Consoling) Aww, don't worry, Darwin. We'll get you two back together again! (She pats Darwin on his head)
Darwin: (Sobs) It's not that... I could have told Rachel the truth. Instead (Sniffles) I chickened out!!
[Darwin grabs a hold of Penny and cries into her stomach, hugging her around the waist. Penny keeps caressing him on the head awkwardly. Meanwhile Gumball is watching from behind.]
Penny: (To Gumball angrily, whispering loudly) Oh, don't just stand there and watch! Help me out here!!
[Gumball obeys and squats down next to Darwin. He puts his hand on his shoulder.]
Gumball: H-hey buddy! Just to make you feel better, I'm not that good with girlfriends either. Remember that one time when I forced Penny to–...
[Darwin looks up from Penny's stomach and gives Gumball an annoyed look. Penny does the same.]
Gumball: (Hesitates) Er- Uh- I mean... we all make mistakes sometimes! Like Penny said, we'll get you two back together again. I promise you!
[Darwin shines up and smiles.]
Darwin: Thanks, Gumball...
[Gumball smiles back at Darwin.]
----------
Don't litter on my boyfriend!
[At the graveyard, a giant, green cloud shaped as a hurricane has appeared over a church on top of a hill. Distant laughter is heard from inside.]
[The camera changes to Rachel waking up.]
Rachel: Ugh... W-what happened...?
[It reveals that she is tied up to a pillar inside the church with chains.]
Rachel: Huh!? Where am I!?!
[Rachel squirms and makes her chains rattle. Carrie then teleports in front of her. She rubs her hands evily and has an sinister grin on her face.]
Horror Carrie: (Demonic voice) Just where you belong!
[Carrie floats up to a cauldron sitting on the apse. The cauldron is filled with a green, mysterious liquid. She starts stirring into the cauldron with a big wooden spoon.]
Horror Carrie: (Acts pleasant) Sorry about the whole "Tying you up" thing... But don't worry, soon you will get it more comfy!
Rachel: (Terror-struck) Please, Carrie! I didn't know-
[Carrie teleports back to Rachel again and interrupts her, now appearing to look slightly more horrific than before.]
Carrie: (Furiously) DIDN'T KNOW WHAT? THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE A DIRTY HOMEWRECKER!!??
[Carrie returns back to her normal voice again, but she appears to be somewhat passive-aggressive.]
Horror Carrie: (Pleasantly) But don't worry, sweetheart! You will get what you deserve soon!
[Carrie walks back to the cauldron and goes out of view. The camera is still focused on Rachel.]
Rachel: Please... Whatever you do, just don't hurt me!!
[Carrie stares at the cauldron.]
Horror Carrie: Oh don't worry about that, either! I won't hurt you!
Rachel: (Relieved) Oh thank goodness!
[Carrie turns around again and faces the camera, grinning with bright, glowing eyes.]
Horror Carrie: (Points upwards) BUT THAT IS WHY I WILL LET THEM HURT YOU!!!
----------
To the skies!
[Gumball is seen in the picture being above the clouds. We don't see what he is riding, but he has a terrified expression on his face.]
Gumball: (Panic) AAAHHH!! I take it back! Let's go home again!
[The camera then cuts so that you can see Penny, Darwin and Gumball all in the same shot. Darwin and Gumball are revealed riding on top of Penny who has shape-shifted into her dragon form.]
Dragon Penny: Nonsense! We need to get there as quick as we can!!
[Darwin almost slips off Penny.]
Darwin: Couldn't we just have taken the bus!? The graveyard's only like five miles-
[Darwin gets cut off by Penny.]
Dragon Penny: We're here!
[Penny dives downwards. Both Darwin and Gumball are seen holding on for their dear life as they both let out a scream of terror.]
Gumball and Darwin: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
[Fortunately, Penny managed to land on the ground. However, Gumball and Darwin are still screaming.]
Gumball and Darwin: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
[Penny stares at Gumball and Darwin with an annoyed look as they're still holding on to her, screaming. She shape-shifts back to her normal form and makes them both land on the ground face-first. Darwin quickly stands up and dusts himself off.]
Darwin: Oh nice, we're here... (Eyes widens) Uh oh...
[Suddenly, an entire ghost army surrounds the three. They all appear to be undead skeletons and are all carrying a spear each.]
Penny: Um... are these soldiers they working for Carrie?
[Gumball then stands up and appears in the shot. He holds his left arm in the air as if he's gonna perform a kung fu move.]
Gumball: Don't worry, I've seen Karate Kitten! I got this!
[Darwin stares at Gumball confusedly.]
Darwin: (To Gumball) Wait, the what now? Sounds like some stupid bootleg of a bigger movie.
Gumball: (Flatly) Yeah, it is actually. But I can't say it since I'm afraid of getting a copyright infringement...
[Gumball approaches the skeletons.]
Gumball: Skeletons, your reign of terror ends now!
[Gumball throws his right hand up in the air and performs a karate chop on one of the skeletons.]
Gumball: HAYAAA- What the- OW! OUF! AAAAHHH!! OOF!
[To Gumball's surprise, his hand goes right through one of the skeletons. The skeleton then punches him in the face, making him fall to the ground. Another one grabs Gumball's tail and swings him right into a tree, making him get hit face first from the impact.]
Gumball: Yeah, they're ghosts... (He faints)
[The skeleton army encircles Gumball, Darwin and Penny and slowly approaches them. Darwin and Penny stars backing away.]
Darwin: Wait! I got the solution right here!
[Darwin grabs a green potion out from behind his back, similar to the one Carrie gave them in the halloween episode.]
[Gumball quickly runs up to Darwin.]
Gumball: WHAT THE–– Where did you get that from!?
Darwin: Just shut up and drink it!! We'll talk about that later!
[Darwin passes the potion to Gumball, who drinks it without hesitation. He then passes it to Penny, who sips it and subsequently proceeds to give back to Darwin. Darwin is the last one to drink from the potion. Everything goes quiet for a second as they prepare for the effect to kick in.]
...
...
...
[Beat. nothing happens.]
Penny: Well, it tasted bitter... But nothing is happ–
[It reveals the potion's powers. They turn into ghosts and their bodies collapse to the ground. Penny freaks out.]
Penny: AAHH!! You've turned me into a ghost!! What have you done!?
[She angrily grabs Darwin by the shoulders and starts shaking him back and forward. Darwin slaps her arms away.]
Darwin: It was the only way! Calm down!!
Penny: Well, you could have come up with some other plan! I look terrifying now!!
Gumball: Guys...
Penny: (Enraged) What do you think everyone will say when there will be three more carrie's coming to school, genius!?
Gumball: Guys!
[Darwin starts yelling back at Penny.]
Darwin: Well, we'll go back to our bodies eventually, alright!? Like I said, calm d–!!
Gumball: GUYS!!
Darwin and Penny: (Together, furiously) WHAT!!??
[Gumball points to the skeleton army and we get an overglimpse of them getting closer.]
Penny: GRRRRR!!!
[Out of fury, Penny shapeshifts into a ghost minotaur and lets out a roar. The ghost skeletons all whimpers and runs away, horrified. Penny then returns to her normal self again, still enraged at Darwin.]
Gumball: (Unamused) Well, that was anticlimactic. I was really hoping for a bigger fight...
[Abruptly, the three all get blinded by a green, bright light, as they cover their eyes with their hands. The green light reveals to be the beacon leading to a green/purple-ish portal in the sky.]
Darwin: Darn, we gotta hurry! Carrie's been telling me about this sort of stuff!
[Darwin floats towards the hill. Penny and Gumball are both seen following after him.]
----------
Portal to the underworld
[Back at the church, the entire roof is open as the debree has been sucked up through the portal. We can now see the hurricane in the sky and the beacon coming from the cauldron. The camera cuts to Carrie as she gazes upon what she has created.]
Horror Carrie: (Evil laughter) FINALLY, THE UNDERWORLD IS HERE!!! COME, MY FELLOW BROTHERS, AND TAKE THIS CREATURE WITH YOU!! BANISH HER FROM THIS REALM AND TAKE HER PLACE!!!
[We see an unknown person descending down from the sky portal. It reveals to be a clone of Rachel, only with a green glow around her and also glowing, green eyes. She proceeds to grab Rachel where she's chained up.]
Rachel: (Pleading) No!! I don't wanna leave!!!
Anti-Rachel: (Gruff voice) Give it up, mortal!! Repent and watch me take your place!!
Rachel: AAAAAHHHH!!
[Outside, Darwin can hear Rachel's distant scream as he's still making his way up to the church.]
Darwin: (Gasps) That's Rachel! She's in danger!
[Darwin floats to the church entrance and face-plants into the ground when he reaches the balcony. Gumball and Penny both follow, carrying their lifeless bodies with them. They both face plant aswell next to Darwin. All of them get an extra blackeye, despite being ghosts.]
Penny: (Beaten) Oww...
Gumball: That's gonna leave a mark somewhere...
Rachel: (Distant) AAAAAHHHH!!
[Another yell from Rachel is heard from inside the church.]
Darwin: CARRIE! STOP!- Huh?
[Darwin opens the church doors and gets met with a brick wall. Beat.]
Horror Carrie: (Echoed) Uh, we're on your left...
Darwin: Oh, right... (Turns towards Carrie.) CARRIE STOP!!
Horror Carrie: NO!! SHE DESERVES THIS!!
Darwin: IT'S BEEN A MISTAKE, CARRIE! PLEASE, JUST LISTEN TO ME!!!
[Suddenly, the Anti-Rachel lets go of the real Rachel who falls to the ground. The other evil Rachel seems to be controlled by Carrie.]
Horror Carrie: (Points at Darwin) ATTACK HIM!!!
Darwin: Wait, what the wh–
[The Rachel clone floats into the air and merges towards Darwin, who prepares for impact. The screen goes black.]
---------
Final battle
Darwin: (Panting) Am I dead??
[Darwin opens his eyes to see Penny wrestling against Anti-Rachel back in her minotaur form again. It's revealed that she managed to push Darwin out of the way before the Anti-Rachel got to him. Surprisingly, the Rachel clone seems to be extremely strong, as Penny who is 4x her size in her Minotaur form is struggling to keep her in place.]
Darwin: Penny, wait!
Ghost Minotaur Penny: (Exhausted) Go to Carrie! I can handle this!
[Darwin looks over to Carrie, who is seen approaching the real Rachel. Darwin nods to Penny and makes his way towards her.]
Ghost Minotaur Penny: Gumball! I need you to go get Rachel while Carrie is distracted! Hurry before she hurts her!
Gumball: (Salutes) Yes, madam!
[Flying without looking, Gumball accidentally plants face-first into Penny's Minotaur rear end and gets stuck.]
Ghost Minotaur Penny: (Awkwardly) T-that's the wrong way...
[The camera changes to Carrie as she approaches Rachel slowly.]
Horror Carrie: (Enraged) I've had ENOUGH of this!!
[We see Rachel's horrified look for a brief second before Darwin's foot comes into the picture. Carrie turns in his direction.]
Horror Carrie: And you...
[Darwin's face switches from brave over to a frightened expression as he gets a better look at Carrie's new, demonic form. Carrie slowly approaches Darwin.]
Horror Carrie: You think you can just cheat on me and walk away!?
Darwin: I didn't cheat on you!
Horror Carrie: LIAR!!
[Carrie uses her telekinesis powers to throw bibles at Darwin. He quickly dodges them. When that isn't enough, Carrie starts throwing church benches at him.]
[Meanwhile, Gumball approaches Rachel from behind, while Carrie is distracted.]
Gumball: (Whispers) Rachel! We gotta get you out of here!
Rachel: Eeek!! Are you another ghost!?!
Gumball: (Face palms) Gosh darn it... Yes, but it's me, Gumball! I'm Darwin's friend!!
Rachel: Oh yeeaaah... I remember you from the party! (Happily) Well in that case, I'll follow you!
[Rachel tries to hold Gumball's hand, but her hand phases right through Gumball's. She looks at him confusedly.]
Gumball: (Angrily) OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! (Inhales) Just... go after me, then..
[We see them both disappearing out of the picture. The camera cuts back to Darwin and Carrie battling, while Carrie is still in her demonic appearance.]
Darwin: (Dodges a bible) Carrie! Let's just talk about this!
Horror Carrie: (Saddened) WHAT IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT!? YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!!
Darwin: (Gasps) How dare you say something so hurtful like that!?!
[Offended, Darwin turns his back on Carrie. Carrie is on her way to throw another book at Darwin, but hesitates. She drops the bible on the ground effortlessly.]
Horror Carrie: Wait, so you still love me?
[Darwin's eyes shines up as he looks back at Carrie again.]
Darwin: (Softens) Of course I do. I've always loved you!
[Carrie thinks to herself for a bit and then smiles. She returns to her normal self again. Carrie then notices Rachel running away with Gumball.]
Carrie: GRAH!!
[Carrie gets furious again and tries to approach her with her fangs showing, but Darwin quickly acts and grabs Carrie's hand.]
Darwin: No!!
[Carrie turns to Darwin with a defeated face.]
Carrie: (Pleading) But she deserves this!
Darwin: (Certain) No, she doesn't!
Carrie: (Loudly) Why do you still defend her, after what she did!?! After what YOU did!!??
Darwin: LET ME JUST EXPLAIN!!
[The camera goes over to Penny as she's still wrestling with the Anti-Rachel clone, holding her in place.]
Ghost Minotaur Penny: Uh, guys!? What's up with the cauldron??
[Carrie and Darwin both turns towards the cauldron, which is at the verge of exploding.]
Carrie: (Gasps) We need to get out of here! The spell is overheating!!
Darwin: (Shouts) No! Let me explain, first!!
[Carrie puts both her hands on Darwin's shoulders.]
Carrie: (Serious) Darwin, listen to me! We're all gonna die if we stay here!! I don't CARE about what you did anymore!
[Darwin then takes a deep breath and prepares to ramble everything at once.]
Darwin: (Hastily) BEFORE YOU AND I WERE TOGETHER I HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH RACHEL BUT IT WAS BEFORE I STARTED TO LIKE YOU THEN SHE MOVED TO ANOTHER SCHOOL SO WE HAD TO BREAK UP AND NOW SHE CAME BACK AND THOUGHT I WAS STILL TOGETHER WITH HER SO SHE KISSED ME AND THEN YOU CAME AND NOW WE ARE HERE!!!!
[Darwin breathes heavily after his ramble. And then...]
----------
The final Kiss
[...the entire church explodes, and the time turns to slow-motion. Carrie, Darwin and Rachel are all seen being flown backwards from the explosion. However, all of them talks normally.]
Rachel: Wait, so you were dating Carrie all this time without telling me??
Darwin: Well, DUH!? You moved schools! How was I supposed to tell you!?
Rachel: (Sighs) We have eachother's phone numbers! Don't you remember anything!?
Carrie: (Perks eyebrow) Wait, you have her phone number!?
[Carrie and Rachel both glares over at Darwin, who chuckles nervously.]
Darwin: (Sighs) Look, Carrie. I'm sorry I caused all of this today. I was... just nervous to tell you about it, since you mean so much to me. I promise, if we get out of here I will always be loyal to you. One-hundred percent!
Carrie: (Sweetly) Aw, of course I forgive you!
Darwin: (Shines up) Wait, really?
Carrie: (Flatly) No, absolutely not.
Darwin: (Winces) Aww...
[Carrie then looks away from Darwin for a brief second and thinks to herself. She blushes.]
Carrie: (Thinks) But... I might forgive you if you watch Night-mare on Elmore Street with me tonight...
Darwin: (Gasps excitedly) You're still up for that!?!
Carrie: (Smiles) Of course I am, silly!
[Carrie and Darwin both float to the middle of the explosion and holds both their hands together. They finally kiss eachother, and they do it in a state of happiness.]
Anti-Rachel: NOOOOOoooo...!!
[Strangely enough, the kiss reverses the explosion and it implodes on itself. The church gets magically reconstructed and the Anti-Rachel clone is seen getting lifted up into the portal again against her will. The portal closes after her disappearance and the cauldron gets destroyed into a pile of debree. Gumball, Darwin and Penny are also back in their regular bodies again.]
Gumball, Darwin and Penny: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH- OUF!
[They all fall to the ground as their ability to float is gone. Carrie is seen standing next to them as they hit the ground.]
Gumball: (Stands up, beaten) Ow, my back... Oh, hey! We're back in our bodies again!
[The camera changes to Darwin as he's still lying down on the ground. Suddenly, we see Carrie's hand come into the picture. Darwin grabs her hand and Carrie helps him up on his feet again.]
Carrie: That... was the best kiss EVER!!
[She throws herself into Darwin happily and makes them both fall to the old, wooden floor.]
Carrie: (Giggles) Ahahaha!
Darwin: Hihihi...!
[They both laugh together as they lie down there hugging eachother. After about five seconds they both get up again, holding eachothers hands.]
Darwin: Hmm... I must say, maybe being a ghost isn't so bad, afterall! That kiss felt better being the same sort of species as you are!
Carrie: Do you want to try again?
[Carrie smirks and reveals the ghost potion from earlier, holding it in front of Darwin.]
Darwin: (Retracts) N-no I'm fine, thanks!
[Carrie and Darwin shares another laugh. They then inch closer to one another and shares a long kiss again.]
[Camera cuts to Gumball and Penny. Penny is shown in her normal form again. They both observe Darwin and Carrie once again embracing.]
Gumball: (Gags) Gross...
[Without looking in his direction, Penny covers Gumball's eyes so he doesn't have to look. Penny is still smiling sweetly over the kiss.]
Rachel: Uhhh, guys!? A little help over here!?
[Everyone's attention goes towards Rachel, who is hanging on for her dear life on top of a pillar.]
Rachel: (Struggle) H-help me! Someone!? I'm losing my grip!!
[Gumball is seen clenching his fist.]
Gumball: (Triumphily) Stand back everyone! I've seen this move on Karate Kitten!
[Gumball suddenly starts wallrunning and grabs Rachel in mid-air, just as she loses her grip and falls. He lands on the ground with Rachel in his arms. Carrie, Darwin and Penny all stares at Gumball in shock.]
Gumball: (Smirks) See, guys? I told y'all that Karate Kitten teaches the audience something!
[Gumball puts Rachel down on the ground.]
Rachel: (Relieved) Gumball! You saved my life! How could I ever repay you!?
Gumball: (Ponders) Hmmm... I don't know... cash, maybe? And now I mean lots of it!
Rachel: (Enamoured) How about a kiss?
Gumball: WAIT! NO-
Rachel: Mwaaah!!~~
[Without hesitation, Rachel kisses Gumball on his forehead.]
Penny: HEY!!! RRRRRAAAHH!!
[Gumball and Rachel slowly rotates around to Penny, who transforms into her dragon form out of rage after seeing her boyfriend getting smooched. Gumball then glances over at the horrified Rachel.]
Gumball: I highly suggest that you start running...
[Screen goes black. Episode ends.]
