Pure morning's fortune?

We're already rushing to the hospital and it's very crowded... I'm just worried... I don't want her to end up like them...

Doctor: *opens the trunk* Bring her out now!!
Other Doctors: *pulls Anais out and rolls her down to the entrance*
Gumball: *follows the doctors looking around*

So many people are here... They could be injured or sick...

Darwin: Will Anais be okay?!
Doctor: She's unconscious, so we'll see if she is okay, mister!

I'm getting dizzy... No, I can't get dizzy now... She'll be okay...

Gumball: *looks up and is blinded by the window light* Nnhhh... *covers his eyes with his arm*

I just want her to be okay... I just want her to be okay.....

Gumball: *finds himself in a dark hallway with a broken flickering light sign* Huh? *looks around* J-Jazelle? Darwin? *sees a form in front of him on a table* Eh? *looks at it* What is this supposed to be...? *puts it down and turns around seeing an unknown body in a blanket on a rolling chair* What's this? *approaches the covered body*

A body? I don't think bodies are supposed to be outside the hallway...

Gumball: *sees Anais's backpack and gasps* Her backpack?! *bites his fingers in anxiety* Don't tell me this is Anais... *is about to reach for the towel on their head* Mmmnhh...

Please don't be her, please don't be her, please don't be her...

Gumball: *flips the towel off and sees Anais's face* AH!! *backs up in shock trembling*

IT'S... IT'S HER...

Gumball: *collapses on his knees staring at her lifeless body* I... What... 

How... How did she... How...? She's... She's... I...

Gumball: *tears fill up his eyes* No... *sniff* No, this isn't true... *clutches his head and screams sobbing uncontrollably* IT'S NOT TRUE!! IT'S NOT TRUUUUU-HUUUUUUEEEE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-HAHHHH-HAHHHHHH-HAHHHHHHHH!!!!*HICC*

Gumball...
Gumball.
Gumball, wake up!!!

Gumball: Nnnh... *opens his eyes full of tears* What...?
Darwin: Dude, you fell asleep... Maybe it's because you panicked too much...
Gumball: I... I was dreaming...?
Jazelle: Guys, the nurse is here.
Gumball: Uhhh...?
Nurse: Is your sister allergic to anything, including medications?
Gumball: N-No...
Nurse: Has she been admitted to the hospital for any serious injuries or illness?
Gumball: No... 
Darwin: She did come once because of some brain shrinking condition caused by facepalming.
Gumnall: Oh, right... *puts his hand on his forehead and groans* Ughh... I almost forgot about that one...
Nurse: Thank you, mister. *smiles and leaves*
Jazelle: Gumball, are you okay?
Gumball: I'm fine... *looks around and sees the crowds and doctors*

I was dreaming, heh... I'm already inside the hospital, right...? The hospital would have collapsed if so many people are around...
I hope Anais will be okay and won't be dead at all... I don't want to have such a terrible time like that again...

Gumball: Anais won't die, right...?
Jazelle: Oh, Gumball... *smiles at him* She won't die! She was running around a lot until moments ago! I'm sure she will be fine! She's a strong girl!
Darwin: Yeah! She's a toddler but she's a big smart girl!
Gumball: Yeah... *clutches Anais's backpack close to him* She won't die...

Anais will be fine... She was just tired... So she'll be fine...

A few hours later...

Gumball: *leans on the wall*
Jazelle: *waits at the door walking around a bit* What is taking them so long...?

We had to move to a nearby hospital room where Anais is at, and it's taking very long...

Darwin: I'm starting to think she didn't really pass out from feeling very tired...
Gumball: *voice starts quivering* Don't say that.
Darwin: Why not?
Gumball: It scares me... *tears fill up his eyes*
Darwin: Mmm...
Jazelle: *walks around waiting for the doors to open*
Gumball: *grabs Anais's backpack and clutches it close to him whispering quietly* Don't worry, Sis... *sniff* I'm here for you...
Darwin: It's alright, Gumball... I'm sure she'll be fine.... *puts his hand on Gumball's shoulder*
Gumball: Y-Yeah... *sniff*

Minutes passed... And it became another hour...

Gumball: *still clutching onto her backpack*
Jazelle: I'm shocked that you guys are staying calm through this. *sits down beside them*
Gumball: I'm just... Well, I know she'll be fine. She just fainted from being tired, that's all.
Darwin: I'm doubting, but I'm hoping. *gives a sad smile*
Jazelle: Come over here. *pulls the two close to her*
Gumball: *sighs sadly and tears stream down his face* You'll soon be safe, Anais... *sniff* You'll soon be out of there...

I'm just thinking of how amazing and strong you are, Gumball... When everything's rebuilt, we'll go to a Robot Convention together...! You, me, Darwin, Mom, Dad, Jazelle, and Clare...!!

Gumball: *sniffles and sobs softly wetting his tears on the back of her backpack* Ahuh... Ahuh-ahuh-ahuh-ahuh... *hicc* Ahuh-ahuh... *hicc*
Darwin: She'll be okay... I know she will... *tears fill up his eyes as well*
Jazelle: Just hope, boys... Just hope...

She'll be safe soon... Don't worry... She'll be okay...

Jazelle: *notices the red light turning off* Huh? 
Darwin: What is it?
Jazelle: I... I think they're done.
Doctor: *comes out as the door opens and walks to the three*
Jazelle: *stands up* Doctor? How is Anais?
Gumball: Oh! *stands up* How is she?
Darwin: Is she feeling better?
Doctor:
Jazelle: *gasps and covers her mouth in shock*
Darwin: *eyes widen with more tears filling it up*
Gumball: What? What did he say? *sees an illusion of a monitor going to zero* Wait... *gasps in shock*

No... NO!!! THIS CAN'T BE!!! NOO!!! THIS ISN'T REAL!!! THIS ISN'T REAL!!!!!

Gumball: *collapses on the floor and screams sobbing loudly* AHHHHHHHHHHH-HAHHHHHHH-HAHHHHH-HAHHHHHHHH-HAHHHHHHHH!!! *HICC* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-HAAAAHHHHHH-HAAAAHHHHH-HAHHHHHHH-HAHHHHHH-HAHHHHHHHHH....!!! *HICC*

ANAIS... NO... WHY DID YOU LEAVE US ALL ALONE...? WHY...?

Gumball! Gumbaaaaalll!! I know you're awake! 
GUMBALL!!!

Gumball: *wakes up in a sleeping bag with tears streaming down his face and opens his eyes* Wh-Wha...?
Darwin: Gumball! Finally, you're awake! *smiles at him*
Gumball: *looks at Darwin* Darwin... D-Did I fall asleep...?
Darwin: Yeah... You fell asleep after all the mess you saw, heh... *smiles sadly*
Gumball: *looks around* Where's Anais?
Darwin: Anais? Well... I...
Gumball: Do you know where she is? Because her backpack is there! *points at the other bed*
Darwin: No, dude- She's- Nnh...
Gumball: *hears kids playing outside* Wait... Maybe she's playing with the kids! I'll get her! *stands up and runs to the direction of where the kids are playing*
Darwin: Dude... I... *tears fill up his eyes and sighs sadly*

She should be playing right? I hope she's there...

Gumball: *walks over the tunnel and sees kids playing* Anais...? *sees her running around with the others*
Anais: GIVE ME THE BALL!!!
Kid: *throws it to someone else*
Anais: HEYYYY!! *follows the person with the ball*
Gumball: Oh... Haha... *tears stream down his face and laugh-sobs* Hahahah... Hahah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah... *hicc* Hhhh... *wipes his tears and takes a deep breath* She's good... Thank goodness... *walks to her*
Anais: *kicks the ball but trips on the floor* Hahahahaha!
Gumball: Anais!! What are you doing here?
Anais: Oh, hey, Gumball!! *stands up and runs to him*
Gumball: You really shouldn't be up when you just got better already!!
Anais: The doctor said I got better! I don't have anything hurting me anymore!
Gumball: So?! You still need to rest!
Anais: Just because I got some tube stuck in my nose doesn't mean it's that serious! 
Gumball: Right... *sighs in relief* I just don't want you getting sick again. I don't want to lose you. 
Anais: I'll be fine! Like I said, I'm getting better! *smiles happily at him*

The good thing is that Anais is fine... She's better now and should be happy and running around...

Gumball: *lays down on the grass* You know, Anais... I had a dream about you...
Anais: About what?
Gumball: You had surgery... And it didn't go well as you died... I really did cry hard in that dream because... Well, I didn't want you gone...
Anais: You have a lot of weird dreams, eh?
Gumball: Of course, I do, haha... *smiles*
Darwin: *walks down the tunnel and sees Gumball laying down on the grass* Mmm...
Gumball: Oh, Darwin! Why don't you join in?
Darwin: *nods and comes to him* Hey, dude... *lays down right beside him* How's it going?
Gumball: Good! Me and Anais are just talking about dreams! *smiles*
Darwin: Heh... That's nice... *smiles sadly and looks away for a moment*
Gumball: What's wrong?
Darwin: I'm just pretty tired... Heh...
Anais: You always have nightmares in your sleep, Gumball!
Gumball: Uh, not always!
Anais: Noooo! Haha! You're always like this- *lays down on the floor and flops around* PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER AWAY!! LEAVE PENNY ALONE!! DON'T DO IT!!! *rolls over and laughs* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Gumball: Yeah, I'm very sensitive! Hahaha! 
Anais: *coughs hard and keeps laughing* AHAHAHAHA! AHAH! AHAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!
Gumball: Dang, Anais! Calm down! You don't want to throw up again!
Anais: Sorry... Haha... I just find it soooo funny!! You find it funny, Darwin?
Darwin: *looks away sadly*
Gumball: Uhh, Darwin, you find it funny I have weird dreams?
Darwin: Y-Yeah, yeah! I do! It's pretty funny! Heh!
Gumball: Well, yeah. *stands up* Let's go back to Jazelle. She should be busy with stuff, right?
Anais: Yeah, she is!
Darwin: Yeah. *stands up as well* She could be trying to connect to Melody in someway...
Gumball: You're not sick... Right, Anais?
Anais: Nope! I'm healthy and good!
Gumball: Even if you feel a bit sick, you better tell me or else I'll get mad!
Anais: *chuckles* Haha, okay! You're acting pretty overprotective today!
Gumball: That's because I care, silly. *smiles at her and pets her head*
Darwin: *looks down sadly while wiping his tears from his eyes*

I'm sure Jazelle would be doing some stuff trying to connect to Melody and her mother... It must be very tough for her...

Jazelle: *has a phone in her ear awaiting a call* 
News Man (on TV): Where are you right now, Mike?
Mike: I'm right now at the Elmore Hospital which is crowded up and filled with patients.
Jazelle: *gets an answer* Oh, hello! My name is Jazelle Monroe. I'm just calling to let you know that your kids are okay. They're safe and sound with me right now since we live in the same town. It's just that... Uhm...

Minutes later...

Jazelle: *slowly walks to the seats and sits down* 
News man: Please stay away from the coast as tidal waves could hit the shore hard. We now cut to Paperball who is now at the neighborhoods of Elmore. Tell us, Paperball. What is right now going on in Elmore?
Jazelle: *gasps and watches the television*
Paperball: This is Paperball, live at the scene! The Elmore fires in the neighborhood are as big as I can tell and they are now extinguished after four days of it blazing! Some homes are burnt down from the flames and many residents are homeless!
Jazelle: I...
Cupcake Man: Jazelle Monroe!! 
Jazelle: Oh!! *gets up* What is it?
Cupcake Man: I have filled out the paperwork for you.
Jazelle: Thank you, mister.
Cupcake Man: *hands out the papers* Here are the documents. Make sure they stay safe.
Jazelle: Got it. Thanks. *grabs the papers and runs out of the office* 

At the camping area...

Jazelle: *heads there and finds Anais's backpack* Oh... *sees that Gumball and Darwin are not there* Shoot... *runs away from the area* GUMBALL!!! DARWIN!!!
Gumball: ...and guess what? I had to brush my teeth with SOAP!! 
Anais: Hahahahaha! You were in such a rush at that time! Hahaha!
Jazelle: Gumball! Darwin! *runs to them* Sorry I kept you waiting... 
Gumball: Nah, it's alright! I'm sorry if I left with Darwin... We had to get Anais since she was playing with the kids! 
Jazelle: Oh... But...
Gumball: I was worried for a second, but she seems happy and healed! *smiles happily* 
Darwin: We're sorry if we're keeping you waiting, Jazelle... You're very worried about Melody, so we'll start going back home right now!
Jazelle: Alright... Come on. *walks down the road*
Gumball: Oh! Can I have her backpack please?
Jazelle: Okay, here. *hands him her backpack*
Gumball: *wears it around his arms* Let's go, guys!

We're very close to home! Soon we'll be back home and safe for good!

Anais: Why hold my backpack? You know I can hold it.
Gumball: Nah, you've tired yourself too much. It's about time I hold it because you're recovering.
Anais: But you're not even that strong! You didn't want to hold it when we left because it was heavy!
Gumball: Well, I don't care if it's heavy. I'm holding it.
Darwin: *sighs sadly* Don't tire yourself too much, dude.
Anais: *frowns a little*
Gumball: You said boys are physically stronger than girls, so I should be stronger! *smiles happily*
Anais: Well... Yeah! You're very strong! Like that time you saved Clare!
Gumball: Yeah! 

I really don't care about how defecting things are for me to handle, I just want to get through it already for her. I don't want to avoid it anymore.

Jazelle: *signals Darwin to come to her*
Darwin: Oh. *slows down and comes to her* What is it?
Jazelle: He's really been acting so off lately...
Darwin: I-I know... Maybe he really couldn't handle it...
Gumball: Oh- Uh, Jazelle?
Jazelle: Hm?
Gumball: Did you find any reports on Elmore?
Jazelle: Oh! Yeah, I did. There was a huge fire at Elmore sadly... But they did put it out just hours ago. It didn't spread over the whole neighborhood as it was just a tiny portion of it.
Gumball: Oh... Okay.
Darwin: I really hope our home is fine...
Jazelle: Yeah... I also used the dial services at an office to contact your parents and let them know you guys are okay.
Gumball: Oh! Hah... I never knew they had those! I wonder if Mom and Dad will notice...
Jazelle: They will. And... We'll soon check up on Anais later.
Gumball: She's okay! She's feeling better as of now! *looks at her watching the town* We'll have to check up on her again later, though... She's more likely to hide her sickness, so I have to keep an eye on her. So don't worry! I'll take care of Anais! *smiles and runs to Anais*
Jazelle: Mmm...
Darwin: *tears fill up his eyes* He's... Well, he's changed a lot... *smiles happily in tears*
Jazelle: I guess he did...

I'm afraid that Anais will still be sick... But I bet she's going to be okay for the rest of the day. Besides, she's running around feeling happy! I'm sure she'll be fine!

Anais: *looks over the water bridge* Wow! The ducks are still okay despite the earthquake!
Gumball: Lucky for them! But they would just fly away so they're always safe. Unless a duck can't fly...
Anais: Yeah... *looks down at the ducks*
Gumball: Oh, and Anais... I think our Mom and Dad are alright!
Anais: Really?
Gumball: Yeah! I'm sure they will be waiting for us to get home! They care about us a lot despite putting us to work in the house!
Anais: Yeah! *looks at the ducks again* If we were ducks, we would fly home easily...
Gumball: Yeah, but walking is exercise. It's more useful. *smiles at her*
Darwin: I've always been trying to tell you that, but you ignore me almost all the time.
Gumball: That was in the past, dude. But we should keep walking while we still can so we can see them again. *smiles genuinely*
Anais: Yeah! We're close, so we will make it!!
Gumball: That's our sister! *grins at her*

Mom and Dad... They would be crying by now since they are worried... We really should head home while we still can so they won't be worried anymore.

Anais: Look! More ducks!! *runs to the other side and looks through the wooden fence bridge*
Gumball: *sighs happily* Isn't this great? A sunny day... With no earthquakes or aftershocks?
Darwin: Yeah... *smiles a little* It feels like everything's normal again...
Jazelle: *walks and looks at the map* Mmm...
Gumball: So, Jazelle... *looks at her* Is the path back home safe?
Jazelle: Yes, it's safe. Once we get out of the park, we'll be heading to the neighborhood we live in.
Gumball: Got it! *sees her frowning* Oh... Jaz. I know you're worried, but I know that Melody and your mom are wanting you to be back home. They would love to have a dinner with you when you come back! So let's keep walking and head home while we still can!
Jazelle: *tears fill up her eyes* Nnh... You're right, Gumball... *sniff* Thanks... I'm really sorry if I'm wasting my time here moping...
Gumball: It's alright! *sees Anais waiting for them* Well, come on! We're close, like Darwin said! So let's get going!
Jazelle: Yeah... *wipes her eyes* Let's go...
Gumball: Just to double check, is there anything wrong?
Jazelle: No. I'm okay. *smiles at him* Shall I carry that backpack? It's very heavy!
Gumball: Nah, I'm okay! I should carry it for Anais since it's too heavy for her to carry. 
Darwin: Well... I can carry it!
Gumball: No! I'm the big brother here, Darwin! I should carry it! Come on, guys! *walks to Anais*
Darwin: *sighs annoyingly* Alright... *follows him*
Jazelle: Oh... Mmm... *looks down and then looks back up following the others*

Home is about an hour away... And I'm not letting it go to waste! We're coming home, Mom and Dad! We're coming home!
