Gumball was in the park. He checked is watch.

"12:15" he said to himself. "Where the hell is she?"

He looked around the park for his ghostly friend until she snuck up on him.

"Gumball!"

"HOHSHIT" The cat jumped out of his skin. "Don't sneak up on me like that, Carrie!"

"Sorry..."

"So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

Carrie thought to herself. 'How do I put this delicately?' she said in her mind.

"Uhm, Gumball, we're friends, right?"

"Of course!"

"Like really good friends?"

"You're my best friend, Carrie."

"You know we can talk about anything with eachother, right?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Even if it's really secret and personal and embarassing and stuff?"

"Yeah, totally."

"Okay, good." Carrie sighed in relief.

"Is that all you wanted to say?"

Carrie thought to herself. 'Should I tell him, or go home?'

"Uhm, yeah, yeah that's all I wanted to say."

"...Okay, see you tomorrow!" Gumball began to walk away.

"No, wait!" Carrie said as she pulled Gumball into a tight hug. Gumball slightly blushed.

"Uhm, Carrie?"

Carrie lifted her face to show that she was crying.

"Gumball, I,I-"

"What is it?"

"Gumball, I've been keeping something from you for a long time."

"What? Whatever it is, I promise we'll still be friends. What's wrong?"

"I-I- I love you!"

"...What?"

"I love you, Gumball!"

"You, You love me? Why?"

"You were the only one who ever cared to talk to me or befriend me. You let me use your body, even though you didn't want to! You let me feel alive again, when I felt like I should go to hell."

Gumball was speechless.

"Gumball, you were their for me when I was suffering from depression. Now, I want to be there for you in your time of depression. I love you." Carrie hugged Gumball again. She then realized something. She took her arms off of Gumball.

"Do you feel the same way?"

"Carrie, you're my best friend, so I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't feel the same way."

Carrie felt her heart shatter. She hung her head down, but Gumball it lifted with his hand. He softly kissed Carrie on the lips.

"But I can sure as hell try."

Gumball embraced her tightly. The two teens stood their and made out for a solid half hour. They stopped when they saw the time.

"Huh, so I can hold my breath for thirty minutes!" exclaimed Gumball.

"We better go home. It's almost one in the morning. So, will I see you tomorrow?"

"Can't, I have to go see Anais's school play tomorrow and I have to get her ready. Her costume is this big victorian dress I have to literally construct for her to put on!"

"Oh, okay..." said Carrie, slightly disappointed. Gumball kissed her.

"But I'll see you on Monday. It's a half day so we get out at noon."

"Okay, see you then, love you!" said Carrie as she began to walk off.

"I think I'll like this." Gumball said to himself as he made his way home.
