Set in future Elmore, Gumball and company have come a long way from their days as students at Elmore Junior High. Gumball now has finally settled down, and has forged a strong relationship with his childhood sweetheart Penny and has raised a family. Gumball has followed in his mother's footsteps by working in the Rainbow Factory, but as an accountant. The days are long and grueling, but now he understands what his mother truly meant by the joys of raising a family, and he wishes to spend more time with them, so he schedules a few days off. Unbeknownst to him, Penny has arranged for the entire Watterson family to join them on a vacation, one that will take them to the rural outskirts of Elmore National Park, California!

Update: guys I wrote this when I was a freshman in high school. I am now a college senior. I'm aware it isn't good😭 After an encounter with a mysterious new neighbor goes horribly wrong, Gumball is suddenly burdened by an uncontrollable Curse that transforms him into a monstrous beast. It's up to Darwin, Anais, and Penny to help him destroy it, before it destroys him.

Gumball's mother Nicole can do the unthinkable! She can age people, melt things with her eyes, and turn into a savage beast when provoked, but she can also see into her family's dreams. Fearing the next time a push over the limit will occur, Gumball does not realize he has inherited his mother's supernatural abilities! At first, his mother is overjoyed when she finds out about this, but soon she realizes that all of this may be too much for the little blue cat. But is it too late for Gumball to harness his capabilities in a way that can be used for good, or will he succumb to the dangers of his inherited supernatural forces? Or is there something bigger hiding underneath all of it?
