Gumball forgave Darwin and Carrie for their actions on Halloween night two weeks after it happened.
Christmas break had finally arrived. All the students were excited because no school for a little over a week and of course, Christmas. But mostly the no-school part. The photography club had to take pictures of the snow-covered school for the paper's final issue of that year. The issue reflects on the 4 months the students had endured.
The closing bell neared as the minute handle was on the verge of 12 and the hour on 3. The bell rang with its usual tone, the principal on the PA being drowned out by the sounds of lockers and overlapping conversation. However, Gumball, Darwin, Carrie, and Penny saw the end as a golden opportunity to capture a fresh Christmas break. The weather was surprisingly decent for the season, the sun not being shrouded in large gray clouds that day.
The Watterson brothers exited the building, wearing winter clothing as they expected to be out for an hour or two. Looking for a ghost and a glowing yellow girl amongst the plethora of students leaving outside the building. Carrie suddenly appeared by Darwin. Gumball looked for Penny and couldn't find her outside. He decided to head back into the school to find her. Traveling through the nearly dead hallways and finding his way to her locker. He spotted it, the door wide open and Penny appearing to be searching for something.
"Whatcha lookin' for?" Gumball asked, catching her off guard.
"Stupid hat, could swear it was in here," Penny responded.
"Hold on," Gumball said, opening the velcro pocket of his winter coat and pulling out a red beanie that had been in there for who knows how long. He whacked some old leaf crumbs off it and offered it to her. Penny happily accepted the hat, thanking Gumball, and the pair exiting the building.
They met up with Carrie and Darwin out front. They heard about a snowball fight that was happening *on* the football field. They began their journey, walking out in front of the school first to take a picture of the sign in front of the school that read, "HAPPY HOLIDAYS! HAVE A SAFE BREAK!"
After walking around the school, they spotted the football field. Darwin takes off through the white field to get to the stadium, only to find out it's hard running in snow and falling flat on his face. He appeared to be miserable as anyone would when falling face-first into the snow.
They continued their trek, trying not to be spotted by someone and hit with a snowball. They walked around the stadium, heading for a spot Carrie had picked out, located in some evergreen bushes near the 50-yard line. Gumball found a decent-sized stick and took it with him, assuming the bush to be covered in snow. They traversed as far from the field and began to close in on their location, shouting and laughing growing closer.
Gumball hit the bushes multiple times to knock most of the snow off.
"Why did you pick this spot, Carrie?" Gumball asked, hesitant to sit in the green bush.
"Because they throw snowballs at anything that can breathe," Carrie answered, "also be quiet."
Gumball sighed, clearing a little way and crawling through the bush, trying to find a spot where he wouldn't be poked by a loose stick. He gave up trying to find one and began snapping its thin branches to clear a small area for him and Penny. Penny getting in soon after. Both set their bags on the ground, took their cameras out, and waited for the right moment, settling their hands on the cold cameras.
They watched the giant snowball fight, students chucking them left right, and center. Penny captured Jamie's brutal rampage as she would sling a snowball at any sound without a second thought. Gumball focused more on the trench fights happening in the red zone, watching students occasionally run onto no man's land and get pelted. Carrie captured the lowlifes who loaded rocks and ice into their 'snowballs' in the bleachers and would snipe students with them. The only thing temporarily stopping Jamie is an ice ball thrown at the back of her head. This only agitated her beyond her limit, and everyone being witness to an actual assault on some sophomore. Jamie had to be apprehended by a few upperclassmen and taken off the field.
