A/N: Remember when I said that this will have individual chapters with individual couples? Well, I changed my mind.
This chapter, or arc, will include two pairings: Layla x Nabu and Tecna x Timmy. Mostly Layla and Nabu though, since the other pairing's interactions look more like friendship. But eh. This story will take probably one more chapter.
This plot is based on the amazing world of Gumball's episode where they think it's the end of the world so they tried to live life to the fullest. Some scenes of the episode will be included here, including the wedding scene. But that's for next chapter.
The characters are OOC here since they're still children for Pete's sake!
So, on to the story! Btw, this is the day after the events of last chapter.
"So, you and Musa broke up, huh?" Little Nabu asked his best friend Riven as the two children waited at the bus stop for their school bus to arrive, Riven only nodded, "Sorry, dude." Nabu gives Riven a sympatethic look.
Riven shrugged. "Whatever. Our feelings were mutual anyway. She feels weird about this dating thing and same with me. I told my mom about it and she said that I'll understand when I'm older, so yeah."
Nabu grinned. "Who knows? Maybe you'll go on a real date with Musa when we're older..."
"I'll do that when you do the same to Layla." Riven smirked at him.
"Guys!" A voice calls out, the two turned to see two boys, who they immediately recognized as Helia and Timmy. "Have you heard the news?" Helia asks as he took a bite out of his piece of toast while Timmy panted heavily, bringing out his inhaler and inhaling on it. Since they ran as fast as they can from Timmy's house to the bus stop non stop, which is 5 blocks apart.
Riven and Nabu looked at each other and blinked. "Is it about Prince Charming and his Squire?" Riven joked, referring to Sky and Brandon. Nabu snickered at this while Helia rolled his eyes.
"This is serious!" Little Helia exclaimed as he finished his toast, "The whole world will end in 24 hours!"
The two gasped while Timmy rolled his eyes. "Helia, the world will not end! It's an eclipse, not an apocalypse!" Timmy argued.
The three ignored Timmy's words and panicked, much to the boy's dismay. "Are you sure, Helia?! How come the adults do nothing about it?!" Nabu panicked. "What should we do?!"
"Maybe the adults are just too stupid to care." Riven shrugged. "Let's just live life to the fullest, I guess."
"In a matter of 24 hours? How is that even possible?" Nabu raises a brow.
"Duh, do everything we want!" Helia exclaimed and grinned, throwing his arms in the air. "Like Riven said, live life to the fullest! Do something we will do when we grow up because we won't get to live long before it happens! Like having a job, getting mar-"
"I want to get married!" Nabu interrupted while grinning. "What about you, Rivenator? Timister?" He elbowed Riven and Timmy. Riven just shrugged while Timmy slapped his forehead due to his friends' lack of knowledge.
"Getting a job sounds boring. Dating isn't really my thing, let alone getting married..." Riven trailed off, before clapping his hands together, signalling that he has an idea. "Let's throw a party!"
Nabu and Helia's faces lit up at this. "Can we have a wedding party? I want to get married!" Nabu exclaimed. "Mom and Dad said that it's the most important day of a person's life so I want to experience it!"
"Who are you going to marry, then?" Timmy questions. "It has to be the girl that you really like."
"Layla!" Nabu answered cheerfully. "She's pretty, and is really nice to me, and-"
"We get it, jeez. Calm your butt." Riven rolls his eyes and wrinkles his nose in disgust. "But first, we're going to have a party! The coolest one to ever exist!"
"Are you guys really serious?" Timmy gives them a questionable look, they nodded in a serious manner as Timmy just sighed.
"So, are you with us?" Helia held his hand out as Riven and Nabu did the same. Timmy gave them a doubtful look, "Come on, we'll let you marry that girl Tecna if you want." Helia teased.
Timmy slightly blushed at this and lightly itched his cheek. "E-err, i-is that really n-ne-necessary?" He stuttered. "I will not marry her...we're too youn-"
"Does that mean you'll marry her when we're older?" Nabu interrupted while smirking, causing the glasses-wearing boy to blush harder. "You have no choice, Timmy! It's now or never!"
Before Timmy could respond, not like he planned to respond anyway, two other boys ran to the bus stop. It was little Sky and Brandon. "Hey, guys! What's up? Sorry we're...late. Brandon just had to flirt with that blonde girl, what's her name? Err...Stella?" Sky glanced at Brandon, who nodded confidently.
"The world will end in 24 hours!" Nabu exclaimed, causing Sky to gasp and Brandon to choke on the water he's drinking.
"What?!" Sky shrieked while Brandon coughed, as the water came out of his nose. "...You're kidding right? Timmy?" He turns to Timmy.
"It's just an eclipse! Sky, you believe me, right?!" Timmy said, referring to Sky and Brandon. Who looked confused, "What they're saying is complete nonsense! Nabu even wants to marry Layla!"
"Like you're the one to talk, Timmy." Nabu rolled his eyes. "Don't even deny it, you want to do the same to Tecna."
"N-no, I-I don't!" Timmy stammered as the bus finally arrived, much to Timmy's relief. He quickly ran in to the bus to avoid embarrassment from his friends, he then looked around for any vacant seats.
"Timmy!" A female voice calls out, Timmy turned to see who it is, even if he already recognized it, revealing Tecna standing from her seat while waving her arms, getting the boy's attention. "I've finally beaten the boss!"
Timmy's jaw dropped at this as he grabbed his portable gaming device out of his backpack, sitting next to Tecna, whose seat was surprisingly vacant. "E-err, where's Musa?" Timmy looked around, hoping that he had not stolen the seat of the girl's best friend.
Tecna shrugged. "Musa and Layla believe that the solar eclipse that will occur in 24 hours is the end of the world. So they decided to 'live life to the fullest' or something similar to that. I find it silly though, how Layla wanted to marry someone before the so-called 'end'." She chuckled. "I think they also convinced Bloom and Stella about this, but I'm not entirely sure."
"W-what an odd coincidence. Helia, Riven and Nabu believes the same. Maybe they even convinced Sky and Brandon, I don't know." Timmy shrugged and attempted to wink at her, "And you know what Nabu wants to do? Marry Layla."
"Oh, I'd like to attend their wedding." Tecna smirked, glancing at Musa and Layla's seat as they talked about something. Before turning to Timmy. "I'd also like to see the look on their faces when the eclipse occurs."
"I have a plan!" Timmy exclaimed. "How about we pretend that we also think that it's the end of the world? And we will then get to see the look on their faces when all the eclipse does is pass between the sun and this planet, nothing more, nothing less!"
"Excellent idea, Timmy!" Tecna cheered and hugged her male friend, causing the boy to blush.
A/N: This is slightly different from the Gumball episode, keep that in mind.
Not much to say except that thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
