The Amazing World of [NAME]

The DVD

Inside the house, Gumball and [NAME] are sitting in the couch while their mother, Nicole, is folding some laundry by the front door. Both twins have bored expression in their faces.

"Gumball, [NAME], don't forget to take the DVD back today, or we'll get a fine" Nicole told them.

"Pfft. Can't you do it? You're the one with the car" Gumball said.

"I wasn't the one who watched Alligators on a Train 72 times" Nicole said.

"Ah. But technically, you rented it with your money" Gumball said.

Nicole frowned. "The money I have to go and earn to feed you kids" She said.

"The kids you decided to have" [NAME] said, smiling.

Nicole got angry and grunted, she punched a hole in the wall, making the twins jump on their seats.

"Yep! No problem, Mom! We'll take it back" [NAME] smiled nervously.

"Oh, very kind of you, honey. And don't forget to put on some pants. Bye-bye." Nicole said and grabbed the laundry basket before going away.

Gumball sighed.

Inside the kitchen, Darwin is cutting a pizza with a disk. Gumball and [NAME] walk in and see him.

"Darwin, have you seen that DVD anywhere? We—" [NAME] said before she gasped. "Darwin! What are you doing?!" She shouted.

"I'm using the pizza cutter" Darwin replied, casually.

"That's not the pizza cutter! That's the DVD! Oh, gimme that!" Gumball said and took it. "Aw, man, you really have to be careful with these things. The slightest scratch, and they're ruined... forever!" Gumball started to clean the DVD with a sponge.

"Uh, Gumball..." Darwin said.

"Ap-ap-ap. I am fed up with your carelessness, Darwin. This disc utilizes laser technology. You have to treat it with respect" Gumball spoke without realizing what was happening to the DVD.

"You're using the wrong side of the scrubby sponge" [NAME] said.

Gumball looks down and sees the DVD full of scratches. He screams and accidentally throws it into the garbage disposal, it gets destroyed.

"No! Nooo! What are we gonna do?!" [NAME] and Gumball cried.

"Face the consequences of our actions and tell Mom?" Darwin suggested.

"Don't be silly. I've got a much better idea" Gumball said.

"I have a bad feeling about this" [NAME] said.

In front of Laser Video, [NAME] and Darwin watch Gumball put a fake cardboard replica of the DVD into the DVD case.

"There. You can make anything with cardboard, and no one will notice the difference" Gumball said.

"Really? It looks kind of obvious" Darwin raised an eyebrow.

"Man, you say that, but I lost my trousers three weeks ago, and still, no one's noticed" Gumball said, and awkwardly walks away in his cardboard pants.

"Everyone's noticed that walk, though" [NAME] said, remembering how embarrassing it was to her to explain to others why Gumball wore cardboard pants.

"Really?" Gumball asked.

"You look like you went to the bathroom in a spacesuit" Darwin said.
