Ugh. I don't like this city I live in and I hate my home.
Well, yeah, of course. Consider that something cliche coming out of my mouth, like a cool start to the first episode of a Japanese show. But I'm always yelled at by my mother for many reasons. Grades, school, issues, everything. Maybe even my time with Penny nowadays. I even hate it when it's during my free time. Darwin only sees me as someone who can't learn anything at all and only brings others in for no reason. Anais is always bossy with me and him. Dad's no help at all because he simply can't think at all.
It really is a pain, and that's why I hate this world for being so happy with so many happy families. I'm still living on happy, but there's that to worry about, so yeah.

Miss Simian: Watterson! Gumball Watterson!
Gumball: Here! *comes up to the desk*
Miss Simian: *hands him his report card*
Gumball: Hm. *grabs it and sits back down at his seat*

I wonder what my grades are...

Gumball: *looks at the report card and sighs seeing many grades below a 75*

Yep... They are bad... I'll be dead soon enough...

Darwin: So, Gumball! What grades did you get?
Gumball: Dead grades! They all suck! *smiles sarcastically and chuckles* You?
Darwin: Dead as well! Hahaha!
Gumball: We're so gonna be dead! *laughs happily* Hahahaha!
Penny: Darn it! *lowers her head onto the desk* I got a D in one class... My dad's not going to be happy about it...! I think I'll lose free time for my break this year!!
Darwin: Oh, cheer up, Penny! It could be worse! Your father understands you!
Penny: Darwin, you only met my father once and joined in with your mother yelling at him... He's not a laid back happy man, he's serious about my school performance...
Gumball: It will be alright, Penny... *yawns and leans on his seat* Aaauuhh... Just face it and you'll be just fine. That's what I always do whenever my mom wants to go crazy again!
Penny: Riiight... *sighs sadly*

I'm always getting yelled at for my grades and getting grounded. But it's something I'm used to now. And no one can change it because it's all my mom's fault for making me like this.

Idaho: Wooow!! You're going on vacation this Thanksgiving break?
Tobias: Yeah! Finally I get to have some fun out of the house! Are you going on vacation too?
Idaho: Yeah! Maybe to a great country side somewhere in California or heading to Canada!
Gumball: *looks at them and thinks to himself while listening to them*

Well, it seems like the spoiled rainbow brat and the countryside potato has plans for Thanksgiving break like everyone else.

Tobias: Canada is peaceful as I've heard from others... *remembers something important in his mind* Oh! Want to come to my house today? My dad will cook a great dinner!
Idaho: Oh sure!! I can try some of that delicious new food he has!
Tobias: I'm the luckiest kid alive, eh? *smiles boastfully*

He says that like always... Really just says that his parents are terrible in basic terms...

Tobias: Oh! Gumball! What are you planning this November?
Gumball: *not noticing Tobias talking to him* Ah! Uhh, I don't have any plans for November! My family's too poor to even afford any! *grins nervously*
Darwin: Oh, Gumball! It's not always like that!
Gumball: Yes it is...
Tobias: Pfft, lame! You should really go somewhere this month and enjoy time with just your parents!
Idaho: Uh, your family.
Tobias: Yes, but Rachel is in college, so she does her own vacation with her friends! It will be just me and my parents! Heheheh!
Gumball: Haha... Yeah... *looks down and frowns*

I'm not even up for summer break because I'll just have summer classes, right? Yeah, right. I know my mom will just do it for me so I can suffer.

Miss Simian: Okay, class! For our homework over Thanksgiving break, I would want a report from you guys about how you guys will be 10 years from now. I want a future report from this whole class. Please think of that during your Thanksgiving break. Am I clear?
Everyone: Yes, Miss Simian.
Miss Simian: Okay, you are dismissed. Have a great Thanksgiving break, losers. *sits down on her chair*
*everyone runs out of the classroom happily*

Well... Thanksgiving break has just begun... And I'm not really up to it.

Penny: So, Gumball! What will you decide for your future report?
Gumball: I don't really know! I haven't chose anything for the future yet!
Darwin: I would want to be a big gamer of Space Invaders and many other RPGs on StreamIt!!
Penny: That sounds like someone who just does social media for life!
Darwin: It's only what I got! Heheh...
Penny: I don't have any decision yet... I was thinking of science or band!
Gumball: I have nothing in mind sadly- *bumps into Jamie* AHH! *backs up immediately from her*
Jamie: Hey!! Watch where you going, bighead! *walks away angrily*
Gumball: Mmm... *looks down*
Penny: Hey, it's alright. *puts her arm on his shoulder and opens her locker getting her stuff* I think you guys will find out soon as it's something you love to do!
Darwin: Ehhhh, but I don't know what I like or what I do!
Gumball: Me neither... Besides, Darwin! You already said what you wanted to be!
Darwin: That was a choice under consideration!!
Penny: *closes the locker* Well, you guys are heading to the mall? Because I'm going to take a public bus and get some stuff there!
Gumball: Sorry, Penny... *smiles sadly* But my parents will be working today... 
Darwin: Yeah, we need to pick up Anais from Jodie's and watch her as usual.
Penny: Awww... Well, it's okay! Tomorrow will be another great day for sure!!
Gumball: Yeah, of course! *chuckles softly* Hehe!

Well, maybe not a great day as my grades would just mean nothing good in my life...

Outside the school entrance...

Gumball: *waves to Penny smiling*
Penny: *waves back inside the school bus as it drives away*
Gumball: Well, time to pick up Anais. *walks down the sidewalk*
Darwin: Speaking of her... *follows him down the sidewalk* I see she's getting along with Jodie well!
Gumball: I see. Ever since that day she got insane to the point she became a... A parasite... I guess she's doing better.
Darwin: Yeah. *smiles a little*
Gumball: *takes out his phone from his pocket and texts Penny*

tomorrow is thanksgiving break
i'm not up for it since i won't have much fun, other than food
i have nothing special to do like always

Inside the public bus...

Gumball: *lays down on his seat while waiting in the public bus with Darwin*
Darwin: You know where we're going, right?
Gumball: I know where we're going, Darwin. I'm not blind or anyth- *Tony falls onto him asleep* AAHHH!! *gets up but his backpack is stuck on his belly* Dang it! *pulls it out and falls onto Darwin*
Darwin: AHH!! *knocks his head on the wall* Owwww!
Gumball: Stupid man! Ughh! *pulls Darwin's hand and walks to another seat* Come on, we're moving to another seat.
Darwin: Oh, okay- *shakes his head a little and follows him*
Gumball: *sits down at another seat with Darwin and pulls out his phone from his pocket*
Darwin: 

i don't have any special plans for the future penny
but i don't want to grow up like those stupid grown ups that just laugh at kids like their problems are funny
i won't be like that in 10 years right?

Gumball: *looks at his messages on his phone* Hmmmm...
Darwin: It's lively like the usual today!
Gumball: I know. *receives a message from Penny and reads it*

well, i think you'll turn out a great man in the future!
thanks penny :)

Gumball: *puts his phone on his backpack pocket and sighs leaning on the seat*
Darwin: I'll be honest.. I don't know what I want to be for the future.
Gumball: Me neither... Just find out what you love to do and think of something that will make a whole life out of it. It'll be what you want to do for the future.
Darwin: Yeah... Right.

We got out of the bus and headed to Jodie's house. The trip wasn't too bad besides that fat yellow man falling onto us. Some people can be crazy sometimes.

Gumball: *walks down the sidewalk playing on his phone*
Darwin: You really should stop focusing on that, it could put you in danger!
Gumball: Darwin! This thing for when I have to call someone when I'm in an emergency or play games when I'm bored! It's not like I'm addicted like you were when you chatted with Ocho on that old phone!!
Darwin: Gumbaaaalll! I got over that months ago!!
Gumball: Hmph. *sees Anais talking to Jodie* Oh! Anais is there!
Anais: ...see that it looks very pretty! *sees Gumball and Darwin* Oh! Hi, guys!
Jodie: Is that your brother? You always said he was addicted to his phone!
Gumball: Wha- *growls annoyingly* Nnnnh!!
Anais: *whispers to her* He is, but don't say it out loud! He's sensitive.
Gumball: Anais, what have you been telling Jodie?!
Anais: N-Nothing!!
Gumball: *clenches his teeth in anger* Urrrnghhhhh!!
Jodie: Uhh, h-how is school going for you guys?
Darwin: What a weird question to soften the blow, Jodie...
Gumball: Nothing out of the ordinary. *sees a flower pot* Uhh, what are you doing?
Anais: We're planting something at Jodie's house! Mr. Cornielle told us to record our plant's growth time lapse for a video that will be shown to the next class after break!
Gumball: Wow. Nice.
Anais: Gumball, why don't you help us out?
Gumball: No way! I'm not planning to work on something when Thanksgiving break is my free time!
Anais: Oh, come on! You're always in your games on your phone and you don't do anything else!
Gumball: That's because it's boring.
Darwin: I'll help!
Anais: Oh, thank you, Darwin! *runs to the plant* Come on!
Darwin: You'll head home, right?
Gumball: Yeah, I'll just stay home. *walks away down the sidewalk*
Darwin: Well, suit yourself! We'll be back before you know it! *goes to Anais and Jodie*

Nothing's fun when it's just schoolwork during Thanksgiving break. In fact, why even have a big project for this break that will be a part of your grades next month? Science isn't fun, and neither is math. The games and the experience of it all is what's fun.

At Gumball's house...

Gumball: *walks up the staircase and opens the door* Uuughhh! Finally home! Away from those two... *walks to the couch and lays down dropping his backpack on the floor sighing* Hooooot... *stretches and groans while doing so* Hnnnnngh-
Nicole: *closes the fridge and looks at the couch* Gumball?
Gumball: *stops stretching and looks at her* Oh. Hey, Mom.
Nicole: Please say 'I'm home' when you get here. *opens the fridge* I thought you were someone else.
Gumball: You clearly heard me just right there when I came... *sighs annoyingly*
Nicole: Well, I have to leave soon. My boss needs me to aid some employees with things in the factory.
Gumball: Yeah, right. *lays back down on the couch tiredly*
Nicole: I bought some cake for you and the others.
Gumball: *lifts himself up and looks at her* Cake?
Nicole: It will be my birthday and my anniversary with your Dad soon, remember? *points at the calendar on the fridge and smiles*
Gumball: Ohhh, right. *gets up from the couch and heads to the kitchen*

Well, this is exciting. It's my mother's wedding anniversary, November 1st. And I really am not surprised I forgot.

Nicole: Look, honey. I have to get going. Share the cakes with Darwin and Anais, okay?
Gumball: Aren't you going to have some as well?
Nicole: I bought my own cake since the three cake flavors are specifically for each of you.
Gumball: Hm. *smiles and opens the box revealing fruit cheesecakes* What- These are fruit cheesecakes! You should have gotten a real cake like from those birthday parties!
Nicole: Gumball, it's healthier for you and the others since you're gaining weight and the others have to maintain theirs. *adjusts her shirt and grabs the car keys* And I also need you to do the laundry and wash the dishes while you're at it because your father is asleep in his room.
Gumball: I- But Mom-
Nicole: *grabs her purse and walks to the entrance* Also, make sure you look outside for a grocery package that will arrive soon. It will be produce food, so put it in the fridge when it arrives. *opens the door and prepares to leave*
Gumball: You didn't tell me you were-
Nicole: Oh! I almost forgot! Leave your report card at the table. I need to look at it when I come back.
Gumball: *stares blankly at Nicole*
Nicole: Well, that's all. I'll be back at seven or later. Take care of the kids, Gumball! See you later! *closes the door*
Gumball: Hmph.

Does it look like I care? I have so many things to do already and I didn't understand a single thing that came out of her mouth.

A couple of hours later...

Gumball: *looks outside the window and sees the roads empty* Well, the world's asleep. *closes the curtains and turns around* Uhh, what are you drawing, Anais?
Anais: It's a drawing for Mom! For her anniversary with Dad!
Gumball: Hmmmm... *takes a peek at the drawing* Very sloppy-
Anais: Heyyy!! 
Gumball: Nah, I'm kidding. It looks fine. *smiles forcefully*
Darwin: *looks at her drawing* Looks cool!
Anais: Well, what are you and Darwin going to give to Mom for her birthday?
Gumball: Nothing. I really don't want to make her anything.
Darwin: Me too. I was thinking of making a video but that's too weird.
Anais: Why don't we give this drawing to her together?
Gumball: Anais, you're the one who made it, so you have to give it to her!
Anais: Oh... *frowns a little*

Oh, gosh. Not the sad face again.

Gumball: Look, Mom bought us some cheesecakes. We can share some together at the table. *opens the door and leaves the room*
Darwin: Oh, yayyy! Cake! *follows him out of the room*
Anais: Wait, what type of cheesecakes?
Gumball: Fruit cheesecakes! *walks down the stairs*

I don't like fruit cheesecakes a lot since it's just fruit and no frosting at all. I like the cakes that are used for celebrations, not those frozen ones.

Gumball: *eats his blueberry cheesecake while sitting on the couch*
Anais: My favorite show is on today!! *eats her strawberry cheesecake* 
Darwin: Like the usual. *eats his orange cheesecake* I wish Mom was here to eat with us...
Anais: Me too! She works all the time! When is she ever gonna get a break?
Gumball: Hm. I don't know. She chose to work at that factory, that's why she has less time with us and has to live with it.
Anais: It's to keep us safe, Gumball... if she didn't have a job, we would have no home and be one of the poorest families in Elmore!
Gumball: Anais, we're already poor. We can't even afford so much things like toys, electronics, and all that stuff.
Anais: Gumball...
Darwin: But guys, we shouldn't expect so much from Mrs. Mom... She works hard.
Anais: That's what I said!!! I-
Gumball: You're still a toddler, Anais. Even if you're so eighth grade material, you're still a toddler who acts like a child. *keeps eating his blueberry cheesecake*
Anais: *is silent but continues watching the television*

It's so surprising a toddler can do eighth grade stuff. She's just four. But she also acts like a child, which makes me say that she's supposed to be in elementary school, not junior high.

Gumball: *takes out his phone from his pocket and starts texting Penny*

i wanted a cake like those cakes in a birthday party but mom chose cheesecake
why can't i get one birthday cake for once in my life?

Anais: Hey, Gumball! They have summer camp for Elmore Junior High! Maybe we should join!
Gumball: Hold on. I'm busy.
Anais: Mmph! Always being the cellphone alien every-
Gumball: *throws his plastic cup at her*
Anais: Owwww!!!
Darwin: Gumball, please! It's not a big deal!
Gumball: No, I hate it when I'm called that!
Richard: *yawns and opens the door near the entrance* Auuuuhh... What's going on?
Gumball: Oh!! Uhhh, nothing!
Richard: Where's your mom?
Darwin: Still working!
Gumball: She said she'll be back at seven.
Richard: Hmmm... Enough time to get me to shower. *heads upstairs*
Gumball: Hey! Did you know it's Mom's wedding anniversary with you?
Richard: Oh, really? Nice!! *approaches the bathroom and closes the door*
Gumball: I... *sighs irritably and keeps texting Penny on his phone*

Not even Dad cares. Like I said, Dad's careless and can hardly think at all.

Richard: *walks downstairs smiling* Ahh, what a refreshing shower!
Darwin: Oh, come on!!! Can't I just beat them up already?! *keeps mashing the buttons while playing Space Invaders*
Richard: *looks around* You really need to clean this all up. Mom will get mad.
Anais: I'll get it! *grabs the chip crumbs and bag and throws it in the trash*
Gumball: So, Thanksgiving break is tomorrow, Dad.
Richard: Oh, yeah! You should get your homework done as soon as you can so you won't be so overloaded with stress!
Gumball: Th-That's not what I meant!! Aren't we going anywhere this Thanksgiving break? We never do. All we've been doing the past few years is school, exams, and nothing but the arcade, and the mall.
Richard: Right... Why don't you ask Mom?
Gumball: No way. She always has an attitude whenever we ask. 
Richard: That's because she works hard, you know... She's very busy and doesn't get that many breaks, so we can ask whenever she gets a break.
Gumball: Urghhh, I already know! It's the same thing everyone says in the house!
Anais: You ask it all the time, Gumball... Why do you think we say the same thing over and over again?
Gumball: Can you just shush, Anais?!
Darwin: Guys, please!! I'm trying to win this boss battle!!
Gumball: Fiiiine... *sighs and looks away annoyed*
Nicole: *opens the door* I'm home!!
Anais: Oh! *pauses the game and runs to the stairs* Hey, Mom!! *runs upstairs*
Nicole: Hey, honey... *smiles tiredly and walks inside closing the door* Ughhh, I forgot to buy milk...

Oh, she's back this late... How much work is she even put into at that factory??

Richard: Hello, honey! How's everything?
Nicole: Stressful... *puts the bags on the  I'm about to cook dinner right now, so I'll be ready in a minute...
Richard: Nicole, it's about to be nine... You should really request your boss to cut the schedule down a bit.
Nicole: I can't! *rummages through the bags* I can't do anything about that stuff! This is the only job I have a shot with because no other job will do the trick for us! 
Richard: No- I mean, the kids are hungry.
Darwin: Mr. Dad, we just ate cake for snacks. I think we're fine.
Gumball: Cheesecake.
Nicole: Well, that's why I'm doing the dinner right now, so stop rushing me!
Richard: Honey... I'm not trying to rush you. I'm just saying that you should ask your boss to cut the schedule because we're-
Nicole: Richard, I said I cannot do that. My boss is strict.
Gumball: Just cut it out, please...
Richard: There should be a way! Did you forget about that day the kids went with you to-
Nicole: What? Do you think I would forget? I know they taught him a lesson, but it just isn't enough to make him listen! At least I still have the time to get stuff ready for you and the kids!
Richard: Well, that's good.... I just want to remind you so you won't forget-
Nicole: Richard, I do not forget anything I have to do for the kids!
Gumball: Cut it out.
Darwin: Can you lower it doowwn?? I'm trying to beat this boss and it's taking me long!!
Anais: *slowly comes downstairs with her drawing* Uhm, guys...?
Richard: I-I thought you did!
Nicole: Well, I don't! But you always do!
Richard: But I don't! I always watch them whenever I need to!!
Gumball: I said cut it out.
Darwin: *gets a game over on his screen and flails his legs in anger* OH, COME OOON!! I WORKED HARD ON THIIISS!!!
Nicole: You don't! All you do is eat and sleep while I do all the work!! Why can't you just get a job for once, Richard?!
Richard: It's hard to get one! I got fired twice and you know how those went!
Nicole: THEN TRY TO FIND ONE SO YOU CAN STOP LA-
Gumball: *yells loudly with an open voice* I SAID CUT IT OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!
*everyone goes silent*
Gumball: *stands up from the couch fuming* JUST CUT IT OUT ALREADY!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!!! DAD, STOP USING US AS AN EXCUSE FOR MOM'S WORK!! AND MOM, STOP TAKING YOUR OWN STRESS OUT ON US!!! WE'RE TIRED AND JUST WANT TO ENJOY THANKSGIVING BREAK, BUT ALL YOU GUYS DO IS FIGHT, FORCE US TO DO CHORES, AND BLAME US FOR NOT DOING ANYTHING HERE!! *stomps angrily upstairs and passes by Anais*
Anais: *turns around and sees him slamming the door*
Darwin: *silently looks at Nicole and Richard*
Richard/Nicole: *looks at each other*
Darwin: I'm going to go see if he's okay. *pauses the game and goes upstairs*

I'VE JUST HAD IT!!! EVERY DAY, THEY FIGHT, AND THEY CAN'T EVEN SHAPE THEMSELVES UP!!! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF IT!!! I JUST WANT THEM OUT OF MY LIFE ALREADY!!!

Gumball: *lays down on his bed and sighs in a fury*
Darwin: *opens the door slowly* Hey... Gumball?
Gumball: *in an angry tone* What?
Darwin: I-It's alright... I know they are that crazy, but they'll soon manage to get themselves together!
Gumball: Yeah, right. At this point, I'm tired of hoping, Darwin. They just won't change.
Darwin: *is silent*
Anais: *opens the door coming in with a sad expression*
Gumball: *looks at her* What are you so depressed about?
Anais: I-I didn't give my gift to Mom...
Darwin: Then give it to her now! I'm sure she will love it!
Anais: I... Well... I-
Gumball: You've been nice to Mom and Dad for so long, Anais. I don't know why you're so afraid to show the kindness right now. I really don't expect doubts from a fourteen year old kid who is physically four years old.
Anais: *in an irritated tone* And so are you as you're twelve but mentally thirteen.
Gumball: Shut up already.
Darwin: Gumball, please...
Gumball: I've had it with you as well, Anais, so don't be so relieved. *flips the covers over him*
Anais: *is silent*
Darwin: He just needs to sleep, Anais. Just don't talk to him until he's better, okay?
Anais: Okay...

I'm so tired... I just want to sleep forever until I have forgotten this stupid day... 

At night time...

Darwin: *snoring inside his fish bowl*
Anais: *sleeping on the top bed holding her Daisy The Donkey doll*
Gumball: *looks through his messages from a group chat in Elmore Plus on his phone*

Lots of people are talking about their reports...

my parents just looked at my future report and lectured me saying i have 2 go 2 college!1! i really never needed one because I was taught a little early, but tanks a lot, mom and dad1!!!1!
well, my parents lectured me too... they said i have to plan on going to a university if i want to achieve what i want to do for the future. i feel like it will be worth it to keep this place free of germs. but the work... ugh, this sucks.

Gumball: What do I really want to do in the future? *flips over and sighs tiredly* I really don't have any idea... And I probably will never find anything for my future other than being with Penny and being a father... *locks the phone and plugs it in to charge* The only thing I want to be is a father or something... That's all... *flips back and pulls the covers over him*

Being a father is good, but I need a career like people always say... What else do I love to do other than being a father...? I don't know... I just have no clue... I'll think about it later right after this stupid family mess is over...
