Episode 3: Run, Gumball, Run
XDXGX
"Nicole Green…"
"Nicole Green…"
"NICOLE GREEN!"
Gumball slowly opened his eyes. He was floating….floating in the soft white glow of his mind. He was at peace. Nothing could harm him, nothing could disturb him. He focused, and the white abyss became black. Stars appeared like fireflies in the night sky. Gumball traveled past and through the stars, their dazzling light mesmerizing to the blue cat. Gumball could feel his destination coming close, a divine figure, impossible to see because of its holy light. Gumball could not meet its gaze.
"Gumball…"
Its voice was that of a thousand whispers in one.
"You must look at me Gumball, I will allow it."
In an instant its radiance had diminished. Hesitant, Gumball peered at the floating figure. It was orange in color; a smile donned its gilled face, its small fins seemingly paddling in nothing. Its long, legs tapering off to feet covered in tube socks and running shoes.
Gumball's eyes widened, "Darwin?"
"You must return to your time, Gumball…Before it's too late!"
Gumball shook his head, his eyes wide.
"I don't know how! Please, tell me!"
Darwin shook his head and pointed his foot at him. A ball of multicolored energy appeared on the tip; it grew larger and hotter every second. Gumball was frozen, he couldn't move!
"YOU MUST FLEE! FLEE TO THE CREATOR! HE SHALL KNOW THE WAY!"
Darwin fired the hot beam of energy, totally enveloping a screaming Gumball. Gumball flew backwards through the galaxy of his own creation, watching as it collapsed around him. His screaming tapered off as the distant sound of another's scream got louder. His last sight before he blacked out was that of the Divine Darwindisappearing in an explosion of the likes of a super nova.

"Gah!" cried Gumball as he shot up from is prone position. His body was covered in a light sheen of his cold sweat. He could hear his heart pounding in his ears. He looked around in the darkness of the room. Feeling a weight shift next to him he flinched. With what little light available in the dark room; he made out the sleeping figure of Nicky, or Nicole…his mom. Gumball's stomach flipped and he slapped his hands over his mouth incase he puked.
"I have to get out of here!" Gumball slowly and quietly extricated himself from the bed; sweat pearled
down the side of his face. He licked his suddenly dry lips as he felt for his clothes. Finding them, (Thank God) he managed to slip on his pants and shirt without alerting her.Slowly, he tiptoed towards the door. Every step was equivalent to a thousand explosions in Gumball's ears. He barely got his hand to the door knob before he froze; his heart stopping as a quiet voice met his ears.
"Where are you going?"
Gumball dare not turn around. Swallowing the fear filled lump in his throat, he managed to answer weakly.
"I-I just remembered I had somewhere to be…"
Even though he could not see her, he felt her eyes narrow.
"Comeback to bed, Gumball." She said quietly, he heard the sheets ruffle. Now or never!
"Uh…"
"Now, Gumball." She hissed. "Don't make me force you!"
Gumball closed eyes slowly turning and accepting his fate…pfft, yeah right. He booked it. Running out of the room and vaulting the stair rail. He absorbed the impact of the fall by rolling. Looking around quickly, he spotted the front door.
"Gumball!"
He sprinted for the door, throwing it open and sidestepping, barely, out of the way of a bed side lamp that would have knocked him out cold. Not wasting a second he hopped the steps, taking off in a mad dash into the night.
"AAUURRGH! GUM-BALL! YOU CAN NOT RUN FROM ME!"
Gumball looked back over his shoulder. An unearthly glow could be seen coming from the house he had just vacated. He ran a little faster.
XDXGX
Gumball peered slowly out of the dumpster he had been hiding in. it was morning by the looks of it; a slight chill in the air signaling the start of fall. But Gumball cared little for this. What mattered was that Nicole was nowhere to be seen. Checking again, Gumball hopped out of the smelly dumpster. He rubbed his pained neck. He had just spent the night in a freaking dumpster! He needed to get back to his time!
Gumball looked down at the watch-that-wasn't-a-watch-but-a-fucking-Time-Machine! He pressed the status button. A holographic low battery appeared. This wasn't looking good.
"Aw man, how do I power this stupid thing and get back home?" he walked with his attention focused completely on the watch. People walked, plugging their noses as they passed. Spending a night in a dumpster would leave anyone smelling…not fresh.
How was he supposed to power a watch he knew nothing about? The only person who could help him would be Bobert, and he wasn't even bo-
"Wait!"
He exclaimed, earning a few weird looks from a coffee shop.
"Bobert is a robot!" He was probably around somewhere! Hope restored, Gumball dashed down the street…Slowly coming to a stop a second later…"I have no idea where he even LIVES!?"
Gumball pulled at his ears he screamed in frustration. This totally sucked balls!
"Bobert? I am Bobert."
Gumball stopped his tantrum to whip around. An older looking modeled Bobert with a large battery looking thing on his back stood in front of him.
"Bobert!?" cried Gumball, he hugged the small robot with all his might. Said robot looked confused.
"Yes, I am Bobert. Who are you, incredibly friendly person?"
Gumball let him go, pointing hysterically at the watch.
"This stupid watch you made sent me to the past! I need to get back to the future! But I can't! It needs power but I have no idea how to power it!" Gumball tried ripping the thing off. "It won't even come off!"
Bobert examined the device more closely. "Hmm...That does look like my Temporal Placement Device prototype. So I completed it in the future. Excellent, tell me strange cat, how did you get my device?"
Gumball paled slightly.
"Uh…that's not important!" he leaped at the robots feet, attempting his best sad look.
"You have to help me get back!"
After what felt like an eternity for Gumball, Bobert pinged.
"In my blue print I chose to power the TePD with a rod of Eradiated Plutonium. But alas it would take me approximately 25 years, and 8 months to get it.
Gumballs heart plunged into his stomach.
"Tw-twenty-five years?! I can't wait that long! There has to be another way!"
As Gumball cursed the heavens, Bobert began to think.
"Well…there is another way…but it could be extremely detrimental."
"Detri-wha?"
"Very bad for you."
"Oh…what is it?"
"Seeing as the device was not meant for humans, yet. It has attached to you making it impossible to charge separately. Unless it's by contact via skin, you'd have to power it with approximately 1.21 gig watts of energy, or a lightning bolt."
"You're saying I have to be struck by a lightning bolt…" deadpanned Gumball.
"Only in theory though."
"….Where can I get a lightning bolt exactly…?"
Bobert pointed upwards, gumball followed his finger to the dark clouds gathering slowly in the sky. "By my calculations, a thunderstorm shall be upon us by 7:15 tonight easily generating the required lightning bolt. I advise we meet at 7:00 to prepare as much as possible. It will increase your chances of even surviving being struck."Gumball nodded happily, FINALLY! He could get back to his time and forget all about this…nightmare…

But if our blue hero only knew the troubles he has yet to face…TUNE IN NEXT TIME!
Episode 3 End!
A/N: Chapter end! Did you find it detailed enough? I took the longest just trying to imagine how gumball would react to the revelation he had slept with his mom. I thought it was hilarious. As I said at the beginning, reviews help me as a writer. I got over 150 hits but only 6 reviews? Does not compute… Danke.
