[opening theme music playing]

[bell ringing]

-Uh-huh. -[laughs]

Ugh, there's no stopping progress.

A prom for middle schoolers?

What's next, the job fair in kindergarten?

[laughs nervously]

Hey. [whispers] Are you thinking of asking Darwin?

Feels like the boys are waiting for us to make a move.

If only somebody cared enough to ask.

Is it wrong for a boy to want to be courted,

to be wooed?

Well, maybe someone should check their locker.

[giggling]

[growling]

Do you accept this invitation from the Mistress of Darkness?

[grunting]

So?

Wow! That literally took my breath away.

I guess it was a breath constricting spell.

Most people find it hard to say no.

[laughs heartily]

Well... that was--

Pathetic!

A promposal is supposed to melt your face!

That was a British weather sunburn at best.

[chuckles]

You want me to melt that pretty face off, Watterson?

Yeah! I wanna look like

a wax statue on a sun-bed.

Like a 200-year-old clown.

Uh, like I got a makeover

by a chimpanzee on a rollercoaster.

[grunts]

But with like, a no face.

Oh. [chuckles nervously]

Um, oh...

I'm gonna melt your face so hard,

your grandchildren's bones are gonna have a tan!

You're gonna be like...

[grunting]

Yeah exactly! Like...

[grunting]

[laughs] Yeah, like...

[grunts]

[both grunting]

See ya, Penny!

[both grunting]

[sighs]

Maybe just a poem is a bit weak.

-[sighs] -[phone chimes]

Hmm?

Here's a mood board to help

stir you in the right direction.

[chuckles] This boy is crazy.

[beeping]

Oh! What--

What?

Oh!

[gasps] Correction. This boy is certifiably nuts.

[Tobias breathing heavily]

I will show you a promposal, Penny Fitzgerald,

and soon you shall be mine.

[Penny] You can do this.

-You can do this. -Hmm?

[Penny] You can do this.

Show him what you got, girl.

[gasps] Oh!

[chuckles softly]

[beeps]

[gasps]

[Penny grunting]

[breathing heavily]

Hey, handsome,

I would loaf to meat you at the prom!

Okay whoever you are might not know,

I'm taken.

But the look...

Girl, like...

It's giving me glue gun,

it's giving me lack of effort.

It's also probably giving

mall vouchers on the parking lot.

I'm sorry but...

it's giving me heartburn.

-Aw. -Aw!

Now, it's time for a real promposal.

Hit it!

[upbeat music playing]

[clapping]

[all cheering]

Uh, yeah.

Penny Fitzgerald, will you go the prom with me?

[groans]

Man. I get why he wouldn't recognize me but...

how could he not love this?

[humming]

I would totally cheat with myself.

Hmm. It's interesting.

I always pictured you

as the more mentally balanced of the two in the relationship.

-Oh. -You should stop

indulging in his crackpot fantasies immediately.

I'm genuinely worried

you'll end up a victim of his deluded mind.

You're right.

I should buy military grade pyrotechnics,

butterflies and a karaoke machine from the Awesome Store.

Try him again!

[sighs wearily]

Why?

[chuckles]

Because it's funny.

[all screaming]

You two definitely deserve each other.

The saddest thing is that,

Gumball went to the bathroom and missed it.

And it would have gone fine

if Tobias hadn't triggered the pyrotechnics early

during his singing "fireman promposal."

♪ Hey, hey ♪

♪ Turn up the heat ♪

♪ And I'll-- ♪ [groans]

♪ I'll take you to the spot ♪

[groans]

♪ I'll take you to the spot ♪

I do take responsibility for not checking

if the butterflies had hatched though.

Sorry, Leslie!

[music playing]

It's okay.

On the plus side,

Tobias did rent the entire Elmore

fire service for the day,

so they're already on site.

♪ You light up a room ♪

♪ Hotter than a flame ♪

♪ I'll save you from the wreckage ♪

♪ If you call out my name ♪

[explosion]

Uh, you're on fire.

Aw, thanks.

Yeah, we better run

before they start looking for the culprit.

[grunts]

Do you see how quickly it can get out of hand?

Stop escalating!

I'm saying this for your own good.

Hey! [laughs]

Did you hear about that creep who just

firebombed the playground while trying to prompose?

[laughing]

Some people should just stick to corny poems or whatever.

Hey, can't wait to see you blow

these losers out of the water though.

[chuckles nervously]

Oh, you wrote a poem, didn't you?

Yeah.

Penny, don't let him get under your skin,

this is how you end up on Interpol's most wanted list!

Uh, I know I just...

I just wanted to live up to the hype, you know.

But, yeah...

you're right.

I'll just stick to being my vanilla self.

[both laughing]

[gasps] Oh.

[groans]

Hey!

So, how did it go?

Well, I found the perfect quiet spot.

And I was gonna give him the poem,

but then...

[helicopter hovering]

Huh?

[all exclaiming]

Will U go to teh pron wit...

[laughs heartily]

Tobias managed to pay a guy to let him fly his plane.

Gumball looked so disappointed.

I just couldn't go through it.

And Tobias kept stealing the spotlight.

-[explosion] -He even survived the crash

because his wallet cushioned the blow.

[sighs] I don't know what to do anymore.

How can I surprise Gumball?

Um, just go with Tobias?

[both chuckle]

Aw! Penny, you know, I love Gumball.

He's kinda like a donut,

he's sweet and fun and colorful,

but he has a big hole inside

that simply cannot be filled.

He can also be very bad for your health.

I mean it, you need to give up before you or someone else

gets seriously injured,

or worse.

Donut give into his demands.

Huh!

Until someone gets seriously injured or worse you say?

Hmm.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[all laughing]

[Penny laughing maniacally]

I don't know why I'm laughing,

I'm genuinely scared for what's about to happen.

[sighs]

[Penny] Would Mr. Gumball Watterson

present himself on the football field please.

Mr. Gumball Watterson,

on the football field, thank you.

[gasps] It's happening.

Yes.

Yes.

Just like in my dreams.

I step onto a trail of crisp rose petals...

cooing doves beckon me to the stadium,

where a magnificent horse-drawn carriage--

-[Penny] Now, you listen! -What the-- what?

What the-- what's going on here?

Uh, just a minute, everything's under control.

I booked the field for 7:00! It's mine!

So back off!

Oh, you wanna stay here?

-Well, suit yourself. -[crowd gasping]

-[whistles] -Oh.

[screaming]

[gasps]

Somebody call an ambulance.

[screams]

An ambulance!

[siren wailing]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Huh?

[sobbing] Penny!

This is all your fault.

No, it's not.

She tried everything to make you happy

and just went too far. Look.

[beeps]

[gasps]

Is that her?

[sobbing]

It's her. It's--

It's her.

[playing trumpet]

[sobbing]

[drum roll]

[firecrackers bursting]

If life was a candy store...

[groans]

My emotions!

You'd be the sweetest treat of them all.

[sobbing]

[chuckles]

Will you please answer my most heartfelt call,

and be my date to prom,

my dear...

Tobias.

[sobbing]

Oh!

[stammers] I was kidding, I meant you, dude!

Oh! Gumball.

Hey? Gumball?

Gumball!

[Gumball] I don't understand how you could arrange all this.

Tobias paid for most of it.

He was hoping you'd croak for real I think.

And what about the dying bit?

Oh, that's just classic...

Dark magic.

By the way, you didn't even give me an answer.

Does he really need to?

Look at this happy face!

[chuckles]
