[opening theme music playing]

[school bell rings]

[humming cheerfully]

Hey, what's up with you today?

You've got that misplaced confidence

that only people about to ruin their lives give, you know.

You're exuding confidence and happiness.

-[humming continues] -I don't like it.

What? Can't I just be having a good day?

Well, not if it ruins mine.

[sighs] Okay, okay.

I have a secret.

[gasps] You're adopted!

[both laugh]

No. I wrote Carrie a super romantic love letter,

and I'm about to slip it in her locker today

to surprise her.

[gasps] For real?

That sounds dangerous, dude.

Kinda like opening a vampire's coffin

to present them with your beating heart,

and, I don't know,

-expect to make out. -Really?

Well, she's a cursed specter from the underworld,

so there's no telling how she might react.

Well, whilst I appreciate your unsolicited advice,

I think it's time to let Carrie know

how I really feel.

I'mma give her the letter.

Woo-hoo! [scatting]

[gasps] Penny!

Hi!

Hi, Gumball.

[both babbling]

-Baby! -B-b-b-baby.

[both] Oh, I missed you so much!

-Hey, Carrie. -What up, D?

Oh, I missed you so much!

No, I missed you more.

No, I missed you more.

No, I missed you more.

I missed you more.

No, I missed you more.

-Ugh! -Oh, sorry, Carrie.

I forgot you hate it when people show affection.

-I don't hate it... -[giggles]

...but that's because I'm technically dead inside.

[groans]

I do find it cringey, though.

It's really nerdy and gross.

[crying]

But that's why me and Darwin work so well,

because he's not some mewling puddle of mush.

[groaning]

Yeah, but-but what if it was a really cutesy little way

of saying something nice, like "I wuv you."

[chuckles, kisses]

[growls]

[snarling]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[in demonic voice] Never ever say "I love you"

to someone from the underworld.

Everyone is deprived of love in the land of the dead.

So, when a ghost hears those words,

the hunger makes them want to devour your...

lives!

[in normal voice] I'm glad we clarified that.

[softly] See you at recess, baby.

[mumbles]

We gotta get that letter back.

What if the boyfriend is unappetizing though,

like that gross aquatic guy from the Black Lagoon,

and he says it?

Well, he better say it

with some soy sauce.

[laughing]

Oh, hey.

[screaming]

What's up, you guys?

[chuckles nervously] What's on the menu today?

[gulps] Oh. Soul food.

Nothing much, sweet mortal.

-What about you? -Oh!

Uh, well, I, uh... wanted to show you this object

that I, uh, found on the street.

True story... [chuckles]

...and tell you all about it.

It's a... It's a very interesting thing,

you'll be pleased to see.

-[growling] -[Gumball] What the--

[whispering] What is that?

[Darwin continues speaking indistinctly]

[snarls]

[muffled groan]

[grunting, gasps]

[shouts]

[sighs]

[slurps]

[mumbles]

[indistinct chatter]

[grunting]

[panting]

Ah, nice diversion.

Thanks. How'd you manage to get out?

I out-grossed a literal slime bag.

[grunting]

[retches]

[grunts]

Where did you get this paper from?

This letter is indestructible.

[grunts]

This is starting to feel seriously cursed.

It's from a notebook

that Carrie gave me for Valentine's Day.

[in demonic voice] The kitty stickers.

They burn! [gasping]

Ooh, I like it.

I think it's safe to assume

that pain only makes it stronger.

There's some weird stuff written in it.

Maybe they are curses that could destroy the letter.

[chanting in Swedish]

Try another one.

[chanting in Swedish]

[gasps]

[gasps] Dude, I think it was a love spell.

You only made the letter even more bewitching.

It's lucky I can't possibly love you more than I already do

'cause you really look like a snack right now.

[groans] Don't say that! I don't want Carrie to eat me.

[gasps]

Let's just toss it.

If Carrie never sees it,

you're covered, right?

Uh, y-yeah.

What's the worst that could happen?

[grunts]

[both gasp]

[Hector] Bye, Mom.

Bye, sweetie!

[cackling]

Told you this day was cursed.

[school bell rings]

[Gumball] You know, if you think about it,

a sweet and chill giant is a better partner

than a man-eating ghost with weird attachment issues.

Just make sure you're the one wearing the trousers

in the relationship this time.

[Miss Simian talking indistinctly]

But it's her that I love.

Hi.

Hmm.

[tapping]

[gasps] Oh, boy. He's here.

Hector, I think--

It's okay, dude. I found your letter.

Yes!

[scatting]

[Miss Simian clears throat]

[classmates] Huh?

You know the rules.

If a note is more important than the lesson,

then it must be shared with the class.

To the blackboard, Watterson!

Sorry. Force of habit.

[sighs]

Don't do this. She's gonna like...

I love her that much.

Huh?

Love knows no limits, my friends.

This is why I'm doing this.

"Dear... Darwin"?

"I read your love letter,

and I must admit, I was quite surprised.

But I'm not interested in you romantically.

I've tried dating people your size before,

and I've been hurt."

Oh! He means his back.

[mumbling]

"Your friend, Hector."

Oh, there's a PS too.

"This is Hector's mom.

Don't ever send a witch's son

a cursed letter aga--"

[witch cackle]

[sighs]

[student] What is that?

[growling]

Carrie, wait!

Hey, no running in the hallway... [screaming]

Carrie!

[roars]

[panting]

Carrie, I read the wrong letter.

[in demonic voice] You're trying to cheat on me.

Is that what you are?

A Lothario?

[Gumball] What's a Lothario?

Uh, it's a womanizer from a play.

[Gumball] Huh. Thought it'd be a beaver or something.

You know. [in old man voice] "The Lothario's habitat

is the great Eastern Continental Forest."

No, Carrie,

I'm not any of those things.

I don't care about Hector.

I'm not even Canadian.

What about that love letter?

I wrote you a letter.

Mm-hmm.

And I wanted you to know how I feel,

-but then, on the day-- -[Gumball] Literally,

-on the day, your horror-- -I learned about

the whole "ghosts eat people's faces" thing

when they hear the words "I love"--

[roaring]

So, instead, I'll just say...

[cutesy] ...eat my face.

[growling]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[kisses]

[sighs, in normal voice] Thank you for understanding.

For meeting me in the middle.

[groans]

Finally, some quiet vibes

after, like, quite frankly, a cursed day.

I mean, that day was more cursed than that...

You know what? Let's not go there.

This is a nice moment.

Let's have it.

I'm just glad to actually be of help for once, you know,

like, to do this and be part of making

this whole relationship real, you know.

I got you, buddy, all day, every day.

[stammering] I mean, now that I project myself for a sec,

I didn't mean, like, forever.

[chuckles] Can you imagine?

[laughing] Like... Like on your wedding--

[retching]

[clears throat] Well, that intrusive thought

was actually more cursed than today.

-Don't picture it, otherwise-- -[retches]

Yeah. You-You guys need to find a solution.

A short-term solution.

You know, like quick something

to resolve the issue at hand, you know?

[chuckles]

But this is nice.

[sighs] Well, it was until you ruined the moment.
