Note: Hello everyone.

Here is the final chapter to the story and the first one I've completed. Didn't think it would take me this long. XD Anyway, I am still an amateur writer so don't expect anything mind blowing. I tried to keep it light hearted and not too rushed. Hope you all enjoy it.

The couple drove along to the movie theater, enjoying the a few songs Gumball played on his phone. The cellphone was placed in the spot where the radio should have been and the small, almost fully closed up area amplified the sound emitted by the phone. Occasionally they'd sing along to one of their favorites and joke about how bad they sounded compared to the musicians.

"We're terrible aren't we?" Carrie commented.

"We're only as bad as the audience thinks we are." Gumball stated.

"What audience?" Carrie asked him.

"Exactly." He nodded.

The two shared a laugh and soon arrived at their next destination. They got out and walked up to the building. They held hands as they walked, both of them had a wide smile spread across their face.

"So what movie would you like to watch?" Carrie asked as they looked at the selection of movies playing at that time.

"We can go for a comedy, action or a romantic." Gumball listed the movie genres.

"I'm not in the mood for romance and we already make each other laugh more that movie will." She pointing at the movies.

"Action it is!" Gumball secretly air punched in his mind as he has been looking forward to this movie for awhile now.

They proceeded to go and get their tickets and, unsurprisingly, found Larry there. "Hello, how may I he..." He narrowed his eyes at the blue cat. "Watterson."

"Hey, Larry! Can we get two tickets for the movie, please." Gumball asked kindly.

"Fine, but I'm watching you." He pointed his index finger at Gumball. "What movie would you like to see?"

Gumball told him and watched as Larry got the tickets and handed it to them. Larry was far from trusting and his eyes followed the couple till they vanished into the building. The two approached the snack booth to get a popcorn for the movie. Again they found Larry standing right there ready to serve the next customer.

"It's been years and I still don't know how he does that." Gumball commented.

"Maybe he can teleport or something." Carrie said as they looked at him.

"Wouldn't you feel some kind of disturbance in the force or something?" Gumball asked curiously.

"I'm a ghost, not a Jedi." She said and shot him a look.

"Are you guys going to buy something?" Larry asked impatiently.

"One large popcorn and two medium sized sodas, please." Gumball requested.

Again Larry gave them a look that said 'I don't trust you', but did his job nonetheless. They took their snacks and walked off to go and enjoy the movie.
Larry's demeanor instantly changed when they got out of view and another customer came to buy snacks.

The movie was exactly what Gumball was hoping for. It had just the right blend of action, suspense and mystery. It even had the expected PG rated sex scene and when he turned to face Carrie in that moment he was curtain he saw her wink at him. He wasn't sure what to make of it, but defiantly got warmer all of the sudden. Carrie noticed this and giggled at his confused tomato red face.

When the movie was over the two walked out hand in hand and came to a stop near the exit. Other movie goers walked by, expressing their thoughts on the movie as they did. Carrie flipped her hair and looked at Gumball.

"Not a bad movie." She noted.

"Are you kidding? It was epic!" Gumball said, his mind still fresh with all the action packed scenes from the movie. "Though, I think it's Pg-13 rating kind of limited it a bit."

Carrie grew a mischievous grin. "Oh, you wanted to see more general action or more bedroom action."

Gumballs face heated up quite quickly. "I-I... huh, well-"

She placed her arms around his neck. "I don't know if I can help you in that regard, but I can give you some sort of satisfaction."

Gumball felt like he could jump naked in a frozen lake and it still wouldn't cool him down. He cleared his throat. "W-what do you have in mind?"

"Curious little kitty. I think it's time for my surprise. Lets go to the park." She said and took him by the paw.

"Are we not taking the car?" Gumball asked looking back at where he parked.

"It's not that far from here. Besides, I don't really think you're in any condition to drive." She noted as she scanned his nervous form.

They came up to a bench that was right across the peaceful lake. The sound of a few crickets, small splashes of water and distant laughter filled the air. Gumball finally managed to calm down a bit and took in the pleasant scenery.

"It looks nice." Gumball commented.

Carrie rolled her eyes. "Men. You think think an 'epic' movie is a work of art, but a beautiful park is just nice."

"Well, yeah. I didn't know you were really one for romantic atmospheres." Gumball said as they sat down on the bench.

"Don't get me wrong. It's not my thing, but I'm not oblivious either." She said and took a look around.

Gumball cleared his throat and tried to remain calm. "So is this the surprise?"

Carrie looked at him with raised eyebrow. "What? How dull do you think I am?" She jokingly said.

"You're not, that's why I was wondering." Gumball said leaning back.

"You remember that day a few weeks back when you asked me what time it was?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, I still wear my broken watch." Gumball lifted his arm to display it.

She chuckled. "Do you remember what else happened? Just before we left class?"

Gumball pondered for a moment. "Uhh. Your book fell on the floor."

"Yup, and what did I tease you with sometime after?" She tilted her head with a soft smile spread across her face.

Gumball looked to the sky as he thought again. "Your book."

"Do you see a pattern?"

"You keep talking about your book, but what does that have to do with the..." He trailed off as the turbines in his head really started turning. "Okay, I think I see what you're leading to here."

Carrie looked to the ground and took out the book. She fiddled with it, dragging her fingers around it's surface. "You might think that this is some sort of diary, or sketch book, or something like that."

Gumball listened carefully as she spoke, taking in every word.

"Despite the few drawings here and there it's not that. This book used to belong to my mother. My dad gave it to me after you saved him back when we were 12." She opened it to reveal the first page.

On it was written; 'My dearest daughter. I know you must have many questions about me and your father and I'm sure he will answer as many as he can. I wish I could see you right now and how you've grown. In this book is all you need to know about what it is to be a ghost. Some of this you my have already figured out, but believe me there is so much more to it than what you think.

I hope this helps darling.

Love, mom

She looked back at Gumball. "I've learned so much since when I was twelve, but where not actually at the main part yet."

Gumball took her hand in his paw and held it tight. "Show me."

Carrie flipped her hair again and turned a few pages till she came to the one she was looking for. "Ghosts tend to like staying in the same place or body. This is why a haunted house wont just suddenly go back to normal cause the ghosts decided to leave. Some can't leave and some simply don't want to."

She sighed. "On this page it explains what it would mean should we ever fall in love." She thought for a moment on how to explain this. "You know foxes right?"

"Sure." Gumball said with full concentration.

"Did you know that foxes mate for life? Once they find a partner, they stay partners for live. This is similar. When we fall for someone we don't want to let go. The longer we're with that person the stronger the bond gets, like a house we can't stop haunting." She explained.

She looked at him straight in the eyes. "The longer I'm with you the more I'm only going to want to be with you. I know we're just 16, but I need to know if you're willing to make a commitment like this."

Gumball exhaled slowly. It was a lot to take in. He took a moment to processes what this would mean. Back when he was twelve we thought for curtain he'd marry Penny and that obviously didn't workout. Could he see the same kind of life for them, could he make a commitment equal to that of a marriage at this age.

"If you want to put this on hold till you've made your decision I can wait." Carrie said noticing the weight this placed on him.

Gumball took a deep breath and smiled softly. "Do you know what you'll be getting into committing to me?"

Carrie chuckled knowing what he meant by that. "I do."

"So do I." He leaned in closer to her and they shared kiss.

None of there kisses have felt like this one and they enjoyed every moment of it. It would be one of many to come.

Note:...

So there you go. I hope it was a satisfying ending.

I don't know much about ghost lore so what I said was just from my head and I think it worked nicely. Also the "I do" and "So do I" at the end was to symbolize that they have basically agreed to marriage. Will it workout? Well... that's for you to decided. Also if you didn't get it, the surprise was her willingness to commit and fully open up to him. I never said it wouldn't be 'cheesy'.
