Y/n woke up in her own bed. Not surprising, since she remembered vaguely tiptoeing into Gumball and Darwin's room around eleven. She was sure to get weird questions from them when they woke up-, strangely enough, she'd had less sleep and still felt more awake than them- but she had the perfect answers to them.
"Y/n, just wanted to know... why the heck was you on the toilet for like seven hours?" Gumball poetically asked her when she went into their bedroom to retrieve her bag for school after getting dressed, then followed her downstairs. She shrugged.
"I didn't feel so good, so I ended up sleeping there in case I needed to hurl..." Was it just her, or did she deserve the award for best actress that year? Or best compulsive liar, maybe.
Gumball gave her a 'are you serious?' look. She saw the resemblance between him and Anais. "Yeah, so I when I went to the bathroom last night, and you weren't there..."
She bit her lip and considered her options. She could tell the truth... which was a huge no-no since it would make his theory about her and Rob near-canon, at least, it would be canon to him. She could make up another elaborate lie, one that covered up her old one...or she could just Sonic the Hedgehog out of there.
She chose the last one and looked desperately for an excuse. Saying she needed the toilet would be ironic, but clearly, it would be an excuse. Maybe if the Gods of Plot Convenience could just-
"Darwin, be careful with the maple syrup-! Oh," Nicole groaned as Darwin's excitedness over having pancakes that morning made him squirt syrup on some paper. "Oh no... who's is this...?" She read it, shaking the syrup off. Darwin apologized numerous times. Nicole looked up at Y/n with a nervous expression. "Y/n..."
With a sudden realization, Y/n bolted over to see her Tip Tip Tally Ho! essay ruined. Or rather, the one that she and Anais did together. Or that Anais mainly did herself.
"Oh no!" Y/n saw an F already. She could copy it out, but the words were indistinguishable now. Darwin apologized once again. "It's fine, Darwin," She told him, putting the twelve-year-old's mind at rest. Even though it wasn't fine. It was a fail.
Y/n hadn't had an F since fourth grade. Her mother was so pleased to see an A on her next homework assignment that she'd taken Y/n and her father for dinner at a random burger chain restaurant. Getting an F now, in eighth grade... Y/n felt as though she was disappointing her mother. She'd had a winning streak all the way through Junior High.
Anais came for breakfast at that moment and saw Y/n nearly crying over a maple-syrupy disaster of an essay. Then she went over to her.
"Hey, Y/n. You okay? What happened to the essay?"
"Oh... Darwin spilled some syrup on it... it's fine..." But it still wasn't fine. It wasn't fine at all. Wherever her mom was, she was frowning at her as she used to when she was younger. It was the disappointed look.
Anais took the essay from Y/n, who showed no sign of wanting to keep it. The little bunny studied it for a moment, before taking Y/n's Tip Tip Tally Ho! book from Y/n's bag and disappearing. Y/n barely noticed, she was basically picking her fingernails and feeling the weight of her mom's imaginary disappointment.
The time to leave for school came and Y/n realized that she hadn't eaten breakfast. No matter- she could pick something up in the cafeteria during lunch anyway. She grabbed her bag, said an internal good-bye to the secret basement entrance (if Rob was even there) then headed for the door silently with Gumball and Darwin.
Just as she passed the threshold, Anais ran up behind them, shaking some clean paper.
"Here," She said to Y/n, panting. "I rewrote your essay!"
Y/n blinked numbly at her. "You... what?"
"I," Anais pointed to herself, regaining her breath. "Rewrote your essay. I couldn't let you get an F, I'd hate that."
Y/n felt like hugging Anais, but seeing as though she'd not been there even a week, it would've been a bit weird. She ingnored her impulsive hugging nature and went to school happy.
On the bus, she saw Penny and her friends again and cheerfully said hello. As soon as she was alone and silent, Gumball was sat beside her.
"I wanna know what happened when you left last night." He said casually, reading a book upside down. It was Tip Tip Tally Ho! from someone else's bag.
"Well, what do you think happened?" She asked evasively, pretending to admire the road out of the window.
"Oh, c'mon Y/n," Darwin spoke now. "A random creepy dude is sleeping in our basement. You are friends with- well- whatever his name was?"
She nodded, not looking at them. If she was, they would've seen her blushing. She was imagining a scenario where she and Rob weren't friends, but actually dati-
"You went to see Rick last night!?" Gumball exclaimed a little loudly. I hushed him.
"Yes, he's my friend! And his name is Rob, not Rick,"
"Well," Gumball scoffed a little, "You sure were there a long time for him to only be your 'friend'..."
Wow, it was turning into a dangerous situation. If they hadn't arrived at school that second, she may have murdered Gumball.
