He doesn't know it, but SHE does...

Gumball: *walks down the forest and stops for a moment* Hm? *walks back a little and sees Isabelle sitting at a wooden deck near the lake* Isabelle??
Isabelle: *ears perk up and turns around seeing Gumball* Oh- Ahah! You caught me feeling sad at the lake, hehe!
Gumball: Sad? *approaches her and sits down beside her at the wooden deck* Um... Is everything alright?
Isabelle: Mm, yeah... I just... Nothing much but to contemplate my life on how crappy this world is, I guess...
Gumball: *looks down sadly and sighs* Honestly... Me too...
Isabelle: You feel the same?
Gumball: I don't feel comfy in this world, knowing that it hates people like us...
Isabelle: Yeah... It's not like we'll kill children out of anger or something! We just wanna be respected for who we are, not be caged up for having powers! I'm a Green and I should be acknowledged for my hard work!
Gumball: True... But I just wish people didn't see us as a problem to their lives... We just wanna live freely, not unhappily...
Isabelle: Yeah...

I'm not the only one here wondering why we have to live in such a stupid world like this... Good thing Isabelle is considerate of what I think...

Gumball: It doesn't feel comfy around here either... if anything, this camp is kind of giving me the bad memories again...
Isabelle: That's what we all think! This place is more likely to be another camp! Not like the government camps, but more like a school we went to for no reason! I don't have to sit around gardening and stuff just so this so-called camp can live a while longer! I want to be in school where I can have fun instead of work!
Gumball: Y-Yeah! We're supposed to live in freedom, not do useless work like we usually do!
Isabelle: Well, it's a distraction from the crap we have to go through, right?
Gumball: Mmm... I guess... It kind of helps me not grieve about my Dad so much...
Isabelle: Oh God, I forgot that you're still grieving about your Dad's death... I'm so sorry if I-
Gumball: No no no, it's okay! It's just that... I... *sighs sadly* It's still rough even when I'm trying to make up the years I missed in my life... W-Without him...
Isabelle: Hmm... I see... *looks down at the lake* Sometimes I just wanna get back home to my family already...
Gumball: Your family? *looks at her in curiosity*
Isabelle: Yeah, I haven't seen them in a long while! Last time I saw them was months ago!
Gumball: Did you take the chance to visit them?
Isabelle: Not really... It feels more comfy with Adrianna and the others, but still... I mean, I wish I could call them, but we're not granted service today for some reason. Either because they are doing maintenance or they just won't allow it.
Gumball: My service worked when Penny and my Mom called me a few days ago...
Isabelle: Really? I wonder why they have it off today... They didn't say anything about shutting off service for a while. Or probably for the whole day.
Gumball: *thinks for a moment and ears perk up from an idea he thought of* Well... Let's hope it does come back on. We shouldn't have to live on like this any longer if they'll keep it off forever.
Isabelle: Yeah. *looks down and keeps staring at her reflection on the lake*

Wait... Pepper and Peter give us access to the laptops in the camp... Maybe I can help Isabelle contact her parents!

Gumball: Um... I'm gonna go see if Laura is doing alright. *prepares to stand up* You'll be fine, right?
Isabelle: Yeah, I'll be fine. At least for now.
Gumball: I'll come back later. I promise. *smiles genuinely at her*
Isabelle: *looks at him for a moment and smiles a little* Thanks, Gumball...
Gumball: No problem! *stands up from the wooden deck and walks down the forest* I'll be back soon!

Isabelle would be happy if she got to talk again with her family! I should be able to have them let her use the internet for a moment just to contact them! After all, she misses them, so... It'll be worth it!

At Pepper's workplace...

Pepper: *types on her laptop texting to someone*

How did it go with Gumball?
It went well. I found a way to access his memories by showing him support.
What are you going to do now?
I will find a way to erase his memories and make him become mine.
We only need him for our team.
Yes, but he will be enough to make our team strong. He is a Red.
