Episode 1: The Demon

**Opening:**

(After the opening, we see many people in Elmore Park; they are happy and laughing. All the people are celebrating a party called "the friendship party", the purpose of this party is to share your day with your friend whom you want to get closer to. We get closer to the group of friends who looked excited... except for Gumball)

Penny (happy): It's the friendship party!

Darwin (ditto): Yeah!

Carrie: Pfff!

(Carrie looked strange, she was not in her normal state and her eyes shone with a strange scarlet glow...)

Carrie (turns around with her back to Penny and Darwin, staring at a strange pendant and whispers): Thanks to this demonic jewel, I will use its power to...

Gumball (pouting) I hate this party...

(Carrie noticed that Gumball was not as cheerful as usual. She blushed quickly and noticed that Gumball was hiding a small box in which he had planned a gift for Penny.)

Carrie (internally): Is Gumball still thinking about Penny? Pfff! I'm going to exchange his gift for her with his demonic jewel, so he'll give it to me and not think about that moron!

(Penny continues to chat with Darwin and they wink at each other. Gumball, watching this scene with disgust, does not notice that Carrie exchanges the contents of her box).

Carrie (acting): Gumball, the purpose of this party is to give gifts to friends, I AM your friend... It hurts me to see you like this, you know?

Gumball (grumbles but tries to understand): Okay, I'll give you my present even though it's basically... (opens package) Hey, that's not my...

Carrie (grabs the gift, speaks up): Wow, Gumball! That's some pretty cool stuff you got there!

(Penny glances at their conversation)

Gumball: Really? Thank you!

(Carrie and Gumball laugh together and this makes Penny uncomfortable).

Carrie (evil smile): I have a present for you too! :

(Carrie kisses Gumball. Penny and Darwin witness the scene, Darwin felt bad and bad for Penny, she couldn't stand it and started to say something to Darwin)

Gumball (pushes Carrie away and blushes with shame): WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Carrie (with a scarlet gleam in her eyes): Why are you reacting like this? Don't you like my present? (even more persistent) Look, you're blushing, that confirms my relief...

Penny (on the verge of tears): What?

Gumball (hesitating): Huh, what, Penny? I swear it's not true...

Darwin (ball in throat): Carrie, what does that mean... You don't love me anymore?

Carrie (getting closer to Gumball): No! Gumball and I are now a couple!

(At her words, Penny couldn't take it anymore and started to walk away crying).

Darwin: Gumball, why did you do that? Don't you know that Penny has been struggling to find a gift that fits you?

(Gumball realized the evil that had just been committed and started to follow Penny screaming her name).

Carrie (begins to transmute into a monster): Not so fast, Gumball!

Gumball (turns around screaming): Shut up you dirty... (gets choked): Liar...

(Thanks to the demonic jewel that Gumball had "offered" to her, Carrie had been transformed into a monster without feelings, she had thus captured Gumball and Penny).

Carrie (sarcastic laugh): Thank you for this beautiful jewel, my love!

Gumball (disgusted): I HATE YOU, THE ONE I LOVE IS PENNY !!

Penny (appalled): Gumball!

Carrie (makes a fireball): I see that Penny is still manipulating you, I have no choice but to kill her and then erase your memory, sweetheart!!!

(Suddenly Carrie resumes her normal appearance, Darwin had managed to discreetly snatch it from her. He hadn't thought about Gumball falling into the void, but fortunately he was barely caught by Penny).

Penny: Thank you Darwin, you are our hero!

Darwin (delighted): Oh, you're welcome!

Gumball (sorry): I'm sorry Penny, I never thought Carrie would do this.

Darwin (to Gumball): You can make it up to her by giving her gift (hands her Carrie's jewel).

Penny (takes the jewel): Thank you boys, you are amazing! It's a beautiful pendant!

(Penny is then "hypnotized" by the glow of the demonic jewel, she is about to put it on but Carrie has not said her last word).

Carrie (just about snatches the jewel from Penny): Give it back, you thief!

(Carrie teleports).

Penny (confused): I can't believe it! She called me a thief!

(Back to Carrie, she's teleported home, her room is a mess, and there's a lot of books talking about an evil jewel: the one she has. And all indications are that she needed that jewel. Carrie is anxiously looking for a grimoire about a demon summoning, when she found it, she's refrogues).

Carrie (with a lump in her throat): I don't think I'll make it through this unscathed, but... I have no other choice!

(She then recites a formula and a raging demon slams Carrie to the ground).

The Demon: Who dares disturb my sleeping... (notices that it's Carrie and starts to scream) I recognize you, you're the one who stole my pendant!

Carrie (shaking): Yes... I'm sorry about that...

The Demon: Give it back, RIGHT NOW!

Carrie (shaking): Yes!...

The Demon: You have exactly 15 seconds to explain yourself, after which I will consider you no longer worthy of existence and send you to limbo for eternity.

Carrie (still shaking, she is very tense): I needed your jewelry to make a boy fall in love with me. When I put it on, I found that I was madly in love with someone else. That's him in the picture (shows a picture of Gumball), I was in love with his brother but when I took your pendant to use your powers to seduce him, I fell in love with Gumball without knowing why but now I know I love him and I would do anything for him too, even if it's at the risk of what he loves!!! I didn't think you would mind. Your town is destroyed, isn't it? You can live in Elmore with your family to help me and ...

(The Demon snatched Carrie's picture from his hands to get a closer look at her face).

The Demon (mumbling): Wow... You can... rely on me.

Carrie (happy): Really?! Great!

(Apparently, the "demon" would be more like a "demoness". Carrie thus exposes her plan to the demoness and this one shows an evil smile. The next day, we see Gumball walking with Darwin).

Gumball: Darwin, I'm going to the mall. If you see Penny, tell her that I am waiting for her there, I have a surprise for her.

Darwin: Okay! You can go!

(In a bush, Carrie with a spy earpiece talks to someone who tells her that Gumball is going to the mall and that "she" has to take him somewhere else. Gumball starts to walk away from Darwin. After a while, someone called him. It was a beautiful blue cat with azure blue eyes, she had splendid blond hair and wore a rather familiar pendant. She was so beautiful that Gumball obviously fell under her spell and was speechless. She slowly approached Gumball and began to introduce herself).

Carla: Hi, my name is Carla... And you?

Gumball (stammering, speechless): Me? This is...Gumball...

Carla (taking Gumball's arm, in a jovial tone): You seem nice!

(Gumball was blushing more and more).

Carla: I'm new here, would you do me the honor of showing your new friend around town?

Gumball (happy): With pleasure!

Carla (in her mind): How naive he is, he definitely has only physical charm and no intelligence. I didn't even have to use my powers... (loudly, to Gumball) Great! Let's start with the cinema!

Gumball (inwardly, blushing): How lucky I was to have met Carla! It's going to be embarrassing if she hears my heart beating out of my chest!

(Gumball was so "delighted" to have her around that he didn't realize that Carla had a little spy microphone with her. Worse, he didn't even notice her talking to anyone into that microphone).

Carla (whispering into the spy mic): Carrie? Phase 1; accomplished. Phase 2 begins. \*Carla turns off the mic at this point\* And phase 3 according to **my** plans!

(Penny is seen approaching Darwin, a little disappointed).

Darwin (playfully): Hello Penny!

Penny (sullen): Hello...

Darwin: What's wrong?

Penny (hesitant): Darwin,...have you not seen Gumball?

Darwin: He told me to tell you he's waiting for you at the mall: he has a surprise for you!

Penny (disappointed): I knew it.

Darwin (worried): What is it?

Penny: I'm not sure.... I thought Gumball would forget about our little date, so I went before but I didn't pass him on the way. I don't know where he is, but he's certainly not at the mall.

Darwin (worried): Take a walk around town, you'll probably see him!

Penny: Ok!

(Penny took Darwin's advice and went around town to find out where Gumball was and if he was okay. Then she sees him coming out of the movie theater... with a girl. She hides behind a corner and listens to their conversation. Gumball and this mysterious girl were laughing and seemed to have fun).

Gumball: I can tell you really enjoyed the movie.

Carla (enthusiastic): Very much so! Let's do it again sometime!

(Carla gets a message in her earpiece and her attitude suddenly changes).

Carla (forced smile): It was great but I'm sorry, I have to go home.  We'll meet tomorrow at the park at 2:30, right?

Gumball: Okay! Bye bye!

Carla (for Gumball): Yes... (then, frowning): Goodbye...

(Seeing Carla walk away, Penny comes out of hiding and meets Carla's eyes. They both continue on their way and Penny noticed that Carla was wearing the same pendant as Carrie. Penny finally gets to see Gumball).

Penny: Gumball, where have you been?

Gumball (a little over the moon): With Carla...

Penny (persistent): Haven't you noticed how weird that girl is? She's wearing my...

Gumball (looking at Penny with contempt): What do you have against Carla?

(Penny realizes she should have kept her mouth shut. They end their discussion. Penny had heard what time Gumball and Carla were going to meet, so she decided to follow them on the day. Carrie was also there and thought that Carla would follow the plan as planned...)

Gumball (hesitating and blushing): You know Carla... I have... Something to tell you...

(Carla smiles)

Carla: Me first, Gumball! (She takes his hand and brings his face to hers, Gumball blushes even more)

Carla (seductively kissing Gumball): I'm in love with you too.

(Everyone was shocked by the action Carla took. Penny regretted not saying to Gumball what was on her mind the day before. Carrie was so confused and angry that she teleported with Carla nearby so that Penny could hear their conversation).

Carrie (confused and angry): What are you doing?! We had a plan to follow, why did you do this?!

Carla (dark look): ...How dare you even talk to me? (approaches Carrie with a killer look) Have you even forgotten who I am?

(Carrie shook with all her being at this last sentence and screamed: ).

Carrie (shaking with fright and running forward): FORGIVE ME, GREAT DEMONESS !!!

(By accident, Carrie got trapped in Carla's pendant and Carla was suddenly headache and nauseous. Penny, who witnessed and filmed the whole scene with her phone, immediately hid when Carla found Gumball. Gumball told her that she had to go home immediately.)

Carla (not feeling well): Gumball, I... I don't feel well... I need to... Go home...

(Her pendant suddenly starts to glow, she tries to hide it).

Gumball (having second thoughts): Okay... Do you want me to walk you home?

Carla (starts to leave): No no, no, no!!! Don't bother, I'll go! See you tomorrow!

Gumball (thinks he is alone): ... What about me?

(Now that Gumball was alone, Penny wanted to show him what she had filmed, but at the last second she decided that it was better to edit everything tso that the evidence would be more damning to Carla and give her even more manipulative intent. The next day, Gumball came in early for his meeting with Carla. Penny arrived with her phone in her hand and a confident look on her face.)

Gumball: Hi Penny! Tell me, have you seen...?

Penny (cuts him off): SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME! Carla is not who you think she is!

Gumball (aggrieved): Again?! Penny, your jealousy has gone too far, you have to...

Penny (cuts him off again and puts her phone in front of Gumball's eyes): I have proof.

(Gumball, who had great respect for Penny, reluctantly agrees to see what she had as "proof". Within the first few seconds of viewing, Gumball's face twitches and a feeling of hatred can be read on his face: Penny's video had been overly edited! But that, Gumball doesn't know...)

Penny (worried): Gumball? I'm sorry if...

Gumball (blank and hurt): Don't worry, Penny, it's not your fault, it's Carla's! (shakes fist and grits teeth) Just get it through your head that you and I are over.

Penny (feeling of injustice): Gumball! Why?

(Carla finally arrived with a smile on her face, happily singing "*Come and your love*". As soon as Gumball saw her, he flew into a sudden rage and walked towards Carla).

Gumball (screaming with rage): CAAAAAARLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

(This one notices that Gumball is there, she does not understand why he is so angry).

Carla (in an innocent voice -she's not a hypocrite in the way she talks, here-): Gumball, I missed you! (noticing that he's upset) Are you okay?

(Gumball slapped Carla, she was completely lost and didn't understand what was going on).

Carla (confused): But?...But?... But???...What's going on? Gumball, what did I do wrong?

(Gumball couldn't take his hypocrisy anymore -it wasn't really hypocrisy- and he slapped Carla's face again and she fell to the ground).

Gumball (very angry): SHUT UP! Don't you dare talk to me, you hear me? YOU'RE A DEMON!

(Carla's face is soulless, as if she had just discovered her veritable nature)

Carla (looks blankly): You... You haven't a proof...

(Gumball, who could see that Carla's hypocrisy had completely manipulated him, didn't think twice and took her hair).

Carla (in pain): Aaahh! Gumball! You're hurting me!

Gumball (holding back tears and beating Carla): You have no mercy! I loved you, how could you betray me and manipulate my feelings like that! Was I just a puppet to you? (Stops beating her and stands up). It's because of Penny that I discovered your true nature... And you, you think you're so innocent that you think your lies are true.

(Carla stands up and staggers a little. She has no strength left, she gives Penny a threatening look and Penny is embarrassed).

Carla (mumbles and takes a snide tone): Ha!... Because you really think... That coward told you everything?...

(Gumball ends up kicking her in the chest and Carla's pendant shatters, freeing Carrie. Carla is left lying on the floor: she had lost consciousness).

Carrie (laughing): Ha! Ha! Serves you right!

Penny (to Carla, on the ground. She's cold): Sorry, it was you or me.

(And so they walk away, leaving the girl unconscious on the floor. Until nightfall, no one rescued her. When finally 4 strange shadows approach the girl. One of them fiddles with her pendant and Carla regains her senses.)

Carla (shivering from the cold, one of the shadows gives her a coat): What's going on? How long have I been here? And where am I?

Shadow #1: Your crystal had a little bug... But Mrs. Mom fixed it!

Shadow #2 (a small shadow): Do you know who did this to you?

Shadow #3 (a very tall person): Leave your sister alone, she's exhausted.

Shadow #4 (takes a vengeful tone): These boors are going to see what it costs to stand up to...

(All the shadows, including Carla, come forward and we can see their faces. They are people who look ordinary but they all have a look determined to avenge Carla. We understand that it is her family that has saved her).

Anna (Shadow #4):... The HENDERSONS!!!

Cordelia (Shadow #1): By the way Mrs. Mom, did you say we had a new home?

Thomas (shadow #3): Yes sweetheart, let's thank Carla for finding us a new home!

Noa (shadow #2): That's right, thank you so much, big sister! How did you manage to find us a home so quickly?

Carla (in the moon and tired): ... Oh? I don't remember...

Anna: Don't rush, darling... We'll get in the car and then we'll go and discover that little jewel you found for us.

(They all get into their car, which looks strangely like the Watterson's car, but this one is red. Once they arrived at their destination, they were so happy to find a new house that looked like their old one that Carla didn't notice that she and her family now live just a few steps away from the Wattersons...)
