The Truth (A one-shot kind of thing)

The Truth

AN: This story was first created in 2018 on Fanfiction. Net. Basically, that version wasn't that great. So, this version, was made now, in 2019.

It's based off the idea of Gumball being aware that he's a cartoon character in a TV show. To explain, he tries not to tell anybody, because he knows they would freak out and question their existence. But eventually, his brother Darwin finds out. 

Disclaimers. This takes place after the events to Season 4's "The Bus".  Sorry I didn't really have much really I wanted this to take place in. Oof.

Now WARNING! THE ENDING WILL HIT YOU HARD IN THE FEELS! I ALREADY SAID IT IN THE DISCRIPTION BUT YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY KNOW THIS. IT HITS A LOT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! IT EVEN MADE ME, THE AUTHOR OF THE FLIPPIN STORY AKA THE ONE WHO FLIPPIN WROTE IT, CRY. 

I was also going to include this in my "Tawog Short Stories" book, but it was too good and tearful to include there, so it gets its own story. Also the ending references the song "Fish Out of Water" By CG5, a fan made Tawog song. You'll see it.

Alright enjoy the story! -Is8

You're a cartoon. You're only just a cartoon.

This was the phrase Gumball often repeated in his head, in order not to forget and have to learn everything all over again. Well, not like he WOULD forget anything.

The thought did weird him out half the time, considering people were technically watching his every move, what he said, or what somebody else would do. But, there wasn't really much he could do to change that.

Yes, he was aware that none of the town Elmore, was in fact real. Nothing here was. It did hurt to know that everyone he knew and loved weren't real either, but again, he couldn't fix that.

He knew about his creator. He knew about the company that made what was his show. And he even knew about what would happen each episode. Of course he has to act like he's first seeing it and all. But he already knows every move. Every conversation, every one-liner, and every plot that was going to start.

But today, it sounds like somebody else will see it too.

----------------------------------------------------------------

It was another day in Elmore, as Gumball and Darwin went home after a long day of fun adventures.

"Today was great!" Darwin said, a big smile on his face. "I can't believe you fought Rob off a plane! A plane !"

"Yep," Gumball replied, grinning. "it was pretty cool."

The two heard a phone ring, much to Darwin's confusion. Gumball however, knew where it was coming from. He took out his phone and answered.

"Hello? Oh. Just one second." He gave a glance at Darwin, before heading down into the basement, in order for nobody else to hear the conversation.

Darwin was confused, since this sounded unusual. He sneakily followed his brother, who was unaware of his presence. Gumball made it to the bottom of the stairs, while Darwin stood there almost all the way down, listening to the call.

"Okay, so what is it Mic? Huh? Oh yeah.. Sorry.. So what is it Mr. Graves?"

Darwin raised an eyebrow in confusion. 'Who's he talking to?..' He thought.

"Uh huh. So a new episode thing right? A.. Dream thing? Ok.. Which dream thing do I have?"

'Dream thing? '

"Falling from my bed? That sounds okay. Wait.. And I'm falling from the sky and all that stuff?"

'Okay now that's just concerning.'
