While Maria was cooking, Luis helped by setting the table for dinner. He then looks out of the porch to see his son and youngest daughter outside while his eldest daughter is inside because she was grounded yesterday for causing trouble.

Maria hears the doorbell ring rong and tells Luis to see who's there, then mumbles to herself as she cuts the food.

"That girl got out of jail a few weeks ago and has now destroyed some roads. Ugh. Next time, Carmen had better attract something more than trouble. I'm sending her to boarding school. "

"Hola, how's it going? " Luis opens the door. He stops and looks up to see Nicole menacingly looking down on him. Behind her are Gumball and Aphrodite, who also look menacing.

"Are you here for my daughter?" the mustache cactus asked Nicole. " Yes, " Nicole replied as she walked into their home. Maria saw Nicole, glared at the cat, and saw she had brought her son with her along with some strange animal.

"Where is the delinquent?" Nicole asked the cactus mom.

"She's in her room, upstairs to the right," Maria tells them while boiling the rice.

"Nicolas, go get the girl," Nicole ordered her son, whose pupils shrank, ears went up, and fur took on a slight shade of pink. Maria told him she was upstairs to the left, and the cabbit slowly walked away to go upstairs. Nicole then looked at the albino rat chewing her hair.

"You, go outside and play with the kids. Aphrodite nods, then walks on all fours and opens the door. Maria then walks into the room where the albino rat just left.

"Did you put that dangerous animal near my kids?" Maria questions Nicole.

"No, he's upstairs with your daughter." Nicole, Luis, and Maria see that Aphrodite is with Ceasr and Sasha, who are playing Monkey in the Middle with the albino rat as the Monkey.

Carmen was reading a book on her bed. Next to her was a punching bag with Gumball's face on it. It also had lipstick on it as she was using it as a practice pillow., but she heard a knock on the door. She got off her bed and walked towards the door, expecting one of her siblings to be behind it. But when she opened it, she saw Gumball. They froze for a second with Gumball, seeing her in her pajamas with messy hair. Just as the cabbit was going to respond, she quickly slammed the door when she noticed him. Carmen panted hard and collapsed behind the door as she turned pink.

" (In her thoughts) He's here! He's here! [Panting] He's here! AAAAAAAAHHH! What am I going to do!" Carmen then hears another knock from the cabbit, the rhythm of which is the same as her heartbeat.

"(stammering)" Just an I'll hold second out on be."Carmen locks her door and goes around her room, putting away the punching bag. Then she goes to her bathroom, washes her face, takes some breath mints, and uses eyeliner to show off her eyelashes.

After getting ready, she opened the door and saw the cabbit. He froze again. When he viewed Carmen, her hair was brushed and curly, she was wearing a formal sweater with shorts, and she had some makeup products on her eyes.

"So Gumball...what was it you were gonna ask me?" Carmen says this while twirling one of her curly hairs. The Cabbit is coughing and looks away from the cactus girl until he can speak with her.

"(Squeaky Voice) I was told to get you because Officer Watterson wanted to speak with you downstairs with your parents."Then, there was silence, and her face went from a smile with her eyes closed into shock with her eyes and mouth opened. He took her hand as they walked downstairs. Carmen was devoid of color, while Gumball's was full of red. Though the cactus was frozen as they walked downstairs, Gumball's heartbeat was on the steps. While still void of color, Carmen could feel his heartbeat through his paw. Outside, they were silent, but inside their heads, they were screaming joyfully.
