Gumball and Darwin had returned home from the park. They went upstairs to their room.

Darwin: That was fun. Wasn't it dude?

Gumball: Yeah, I like goin' to the park after school.

Darwin: Me too.

Gumball: We don't even get homework on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Darwin: Yeah.

Gumball: Wanna go on Elmore Plus, read something, or play video games? Anything? *cough, cough*

Darwin: Dude, are you okay?

Gumball: Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little cough is all.

Darwin: Let's go to the mall!

Gumball: Great idea!

The boys were taking a walk around the mall, they decided to stop by at the grocery store since Nicole told them to do that.

Darwin: So, what's on the list Mrs. Mom gave us?

Gumball: Daisy flakes, ketchup, bread, butter, mayo, water, fish food-

Darwin: Yum!

Gumball: Dude, let me finish. Fish food, cookies, carrots, shampoo, soap, flu medicine, milk, toothpaste, pizza, cake batter, juice, tomato sauce, tomato soup, hot dogs, chips, cheese, salad, eggs, fruit, and tomatoes.

Darwin: Wow, that's a lot of things we need to buy. What do we need cake batter for anyway?

Gumball: It's Dad's birthday next Friday.

Darwin: Oh.

Gumball: We can be done with it quick dude. Ya still feelin' sick from yesterday?

Darwin: No.

Gumball: 'Kay. Just checkin'. Anyway let's start shoppin', we'll stop by at Joyful Burger and get ourselves and Dad some lunch. *cough, cough, cough* 

At home...

Richard was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Gumball (in sing-song voice): We bought you something Dad!

Richard: *Gasp* Joyful Burger! (snatches bag) Yes! YES!!!! Now it's all mine! YEEESSSS!!!!!!

Darwin: ...wow.

Gumball: I know, right? He's always actin' like- *cough, cough, cough, cough*

Gumball wasn't feeling good. He felt worse than usual.

Darwin: Gumball, are you sure you're okay? You've been doin' that all morning.

Gumball: *cough, cough, cough* Of course I'm okay.

Feeling weak and tired, Gumball collapsed on the floor.

Darwin: Dude, are you playing possum again? Gumball?

Gumball still remained unconscious. This was serious trouble!
