Gumball was in Biology, but he was only half-listening. He felt as though his life went somewhere, and is now nowhere. In other words, he didn't think there was any meaning to his life. Two years ago, he started dating Penny. That only lasted a few months. He realized that Penny was a huge control freak, and therefore dumped her. Last year, his father and Darwin were killed in a tragic father-son fishing accident. His Mom snapped, and went to the insane asylum. He still visits her once a month. Now, he's 15, and he's living at his grandma's house with his little sister on the other side of town. He snapped out of his own little world when he heard Miss Simian say-

"Alright class, that's everything you need to know for your test tomorrow."

"Ah Crap!" Gumball thought to himself.

The class was dismissed for lunch. Since Darwin died, he now hung out with Carrie. They had become good friends. He sat their usual table. Carrie showed up after about 5 minutes.

"Sorry I'm late" she said as she sat down next to Gumball. "I got into a debate with my gym teacher. Apparently he thinks the word 'apparition' means 'can throw a dodgeball without having it fall through my hand'. Moron..."

"It's fine."

"So, you gonna find some guys to form a band?"

"Carrie, I've only been playing bass for two months. I'm no where near as good to play live. I said I MIGHT start a band. Not WILL start a band."

"But you're so good at it!"

"Flattery will get you no where, Carrie."

"C'mon, it's a good idea!"

"That's what you said last week when we brought that dead guy back to life!"

"It was a good idea at the time! I didn't know he'd come back as a zombie!"

"That still doesn't change the fact he nearly ate my foot! God, Carrie! Why do keep getting me into all these awful situations? All you do is nearly kill me on a weekly basis with all your hair brained-"

Gumball stopped when he saw that Carrie was on the verge of tears. He sighed.

"I'm sorry Carrie. I didn't mean it. I just haven't been the same since my Dad and Darwin died."

Carrie sniffled.

"Don't worry about it. I know you've been through a lot. I'm nothing but one big stress factor to you..."

"That's not true! You were there for me and my family in our time of need. You're a great person and an even greater friend."

"Thanks Gumball."

"No problem." Gumball thought about how much he and Carrie had changed. He was now taller, his voice deeper, he now wore jeans and a read t-shirt with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath as his regular outfit. Carrie outgrew her hair. She still had her "emo" hairdo, just longer. She could now eat, saying it was a side effect of "ghost puberty". She actually developed up top and wore a black tank top as her regular outfit. She still had her signature ghost tail, though. Gumball was so lost in his train of thought he forgot he had his arm around Carrie. A group of little kids came by teased them.
