## Chapter (WARNING SPOILERS)

At the start of chapter 8, Anais has finished successfully sewing back on Gumball/Darwin's arm properly unlike the school nurse had done. After it is shown to be working, she soon questions how the limb had come off earlier. Gumball admits that pain couldn't be felt when it had happened, to her curiousity.

She tests this by punching them in the shoulder, which earned a rather pained response from the two. Anais concludes that somehow they can feel pain normally, but not when it comes to limbs coming off. Gumball/Darwin are understandably worried, asking if it was a bad thing. She does not confirm it, replying that Gilson could of done it somehow.

Soon cut to Saturday morning, where our cat-fish hybrid is watching television out of boredom. Anais and Nicole are about to go to a movie, and ask if they want to come along, to which the two agree, though be it reluctant at first. After a while, the four arrive at the theater, and Nicole pays for the tickets as they prepare to go inside.

Unfortunately however, Gumball/Darwin find themselves stuck, their leg caught on a door hook, keeping them behind from their family. They try pulling it off, but are unsuccessful. The two are worried about this.

Meanwhile Nicole and Anais notice the boys' absence, and the young bunny tries to go find them. This is halted, as a hairy man blocks her path for a while, and falls asleep.

Back with G/D, they are concerned by their family's whereabouts, realizing they were stuck by themselves to deal with this situation. To their worry, the blue egg kid Billy is with his mother Felicity, and they pretty much annoy them. As Gumball/Darwin try to pull it off, while also speaking in their head to each other, passers-by begin to notice them.

Unfortunately, Gumball pulls too hard, and their leg comes off rather quickly, granted unstuck. As they fell over to the ground, onlookers gasp and are horrified by the sight. One man realizes them of being one of Gilson's "creations", explaining to Felicity of the crazy man that quote unquote "Does nothing but make those monsters to harm us all. That's all they ever are."

Gumball/Darwin begin to panic, as the crowd becomes more angry and gets closer, about to hurt them.

Back with Anais, she had been trying for the past few minutes to get over the hairy man, but to no avail. Though failing many times, she continues to try and come up with a solution.

Outside, the mob now gets closer. The two try to convince them that they are innocent, explaining that it was them, well, Gumball and Darwin, and had no choice in the part of the experiment. The crowd is unconvinced, and it seems there is no escape from them. Thankfully the theater door is open, and Anais interrupts the situation.

However, a gargling noise is heard. Everyone is confused, looking at what it was, as the thing laughed. It is revealed to be Gilson.

## Fun facts!

-Ironically enough, Darball's "can't feel limbs come off" issue is a little nod to Frankie Stein from Monster High. No really. Is8 did that.

-The artwork for this chapter was heavily disliked by Is8 for its background and Darball's eye position. Though in recent times she has grown to accept it.

-The "Day of Exercising Play" Darwin mentions is a reference to Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play", notorious for how annoying and bizarre it was.

-On Fanfiction.net, this is the last chapter to have come out in 2018.
