Nicole's POV

Everything happened so quick. After Lexy, she had no one there. Nicole felt lonely, and fearful for what was to come of her children. She had to do something, but didn't know what. Even she couldn't stop the storm. Nicole knew this was a calm point in the storm, so she took advantage. Rushing out of the house, she almost tripped, but steadied herself, and ran faster than a car. Nicole felt empowered by fear and anger when her children were in trouble. But she didn't know where to look. Carrie's house? That's where Darwin would be. Nicole never liked that girl. She could be a little dark at sometimes. Nicole stopped, but the force of her run was so strong it almost flung her forward.

She fell to her knees. The house that was once there was gone. All the houses around as well. The only thing she could smell was a burning. The only thing she could find was the scraps of the mansion. Nicole felt enraged. She hoped she had not lost her adopted son, but was scared to find out what had happened to her true son. In the blink of an eye, Nicole was at Penny's house. She knew the location by heart, as it wasn't the first time she had drove Gumball there. The house was still standing, but the garage was open and the car was gone. She walked into the house to find traces. Nicole walked through the empty house. What had happened? The plates were shattered, the table broken.

A hurricane hadn't hit the house, but it seemed as if a storm had happened inside it. The door to the basement was open, but Nicole was positive they wouldn't be down there. The lights were on, and Gumball was afraid of the dark. Nicole ran upstairs to Penny's room. She found pajamas littering the floor, and the bed seemed wet. Nicole wasn't scared for her son now. Just mad. 'Once he's done with the storm he's so grounded' Nicole confirmed to herself walking out of the room. She seemed to stare at the wall as if something had changed. Gumball had changed. Not the innocent little troublemaker she had known. Nicole found herself pulling a smile which stopped as quickly as it started.

Carmen's POV

Usually Carmen wasn't to argue with the authority of Tobias. But she found this completely ridiculous.

"You're doing what with them? Tobias, you're insane! They're are friends!" she shouted at him.

"But they made the mistake of knocking me out, and throwing a knife at you. This is justice, after all." Tobias said triumphantly. The limp bodies of the five friends were behind them. The only person awake was Lexy, and she was just swearing a storm.

"You little rainbow bitch. Listen to me. We're going to get out of this, and you're gonna pay. Hear me fucker?" She asked Tobias with a dark attitude.

"How'd you get Carrie tied up?" Carmen asked, for once curious.

"Not really sure." Tobias' smile faded.

"Tobias, I'm going to tell you one more time!" Carmen shouted, gaining his attention.

"The last thing you're going to do is lock up our friends. Darwin can't even walk. He's got a huge gash in his leg!"

"Probably the dumb fish's own fault. You don't have the power to defy me Carmen." Carmen sighed, defeated, and looked away as they continued pacing down the corridor. They were going to the Principal's office. By the time they made it there, the four were already awake. Carrie was struggling to get out of her bonds, while Gumball and Penny joined Lexy, swearing off Tobias. Darwin was just silent. It almost seemed he had a smile.

"You can shout all you want. Nothing's getting you out of here." Tobias cackled, throwing them into the office still bonded.

"What happened to you Tobias?" Carmen asked, questioning the once innocent jock.
