towards her, an embarrassed giggle echoing in response as he lured his doppelganger into the bathroom...

...hoping his plan would work.

Doppel Gummy was now stood against the wooden stool, risen from the turquoise tiles so his vision could burn through the glass of the oval shaped mirror directly in his view.

Meanwhile, the real, true Gummy stood beside with pride and excitement crossing his expression, fully prepared for his villainous plan to impress his heinous clone.

"You can look now!" Gummy called to his sinister duplicate.

In response, his foul twin remained with his hands shielding his eyes, still crushed closed, listing out loud what his exemplary double could possibly be prepared to do.

"So, what's the great bad thing? Are you going to clog the toilet with toilet paper, until the town explodes!?" He continued, an evil cackle soon following.

However, as he opened his azure gaze and slid his grasp from his face, all he was met with was himself.

Doppel Gummy noticed that he was staring into the pane he came from, a disgusted expression crossing his face as he gazed into the world he so wanted to escape from.

His reflection's cobalt gaze fixed into his eyes, a smile crossing his mirror duplicate's face.

"Party time!" He chuckled, more versions popping their heads from behind him, all decorated with fluffy, goatee beards.

Gummy's malicious double gasped, shock crossing his face and panic swimming through his tone.

"What... you tricked me... but how... I'm the smart one!" He stuttered, turning on his heels to be faced with his true double.

Gummy smirked, crossing his arms with pride while waiting for the inevitable.

Arms stretched from within the mirror, shooting through the glass as if it were a thin body of water.

The hands of multiple mirror dimension Gummys tangled around Doppel Gummy's shoulders and arms, their fingers wrapping around him as they began to tug him into his home dimension.

"No! No! I don't want to party! It's baaad!" He screamed, his final sentence fading as he disappeared into the glass.

The strength of the multiple Gummys had finally taken control, pulling him clean off of his feet and into the depths of their topsy turvy dimension.

Gummy chuckled with entertainment and pride, gripping the teal painted edges of the mirror. He heard the final screams of his vicious duplicate, tearing the mirror from its attachment to the aquamarine wall and sending it flying accross the bathroom. An enormous crash followed, the sound of shattering glass echoing across the room.

Gummy chuckled. "For such a smart guy, he completely forgot that we are opposite-y!"

"How could I go bad? I'm the good one!" He continued, heading back to the living room with his irritating doppelganger finally off his back.

A sigh of relief engulfed the previously silent room as Gummy returned - alone.

He headed towards (Y/n), still wrapped in his villainous double's trap. He wriggled the rope until it eventually slid from her waist to her ankles, releasing her from restricted discomfort.

"So, where is he? What was that brilliantly bad plan of yours?" (Y/n) asked, cheekily smirking as she followed her boyfriend to release Kala and Harry from their tangled mess.

"Oh, you know, just told him I had the bestest evilest plan ever, made him follow me to the bathroom, and then pull him back into the mirror dimension... with the help of some other doppel Gummys..." Gummy continued, overlapped with the sound of snapping string as he cut through the attachment between the sacks above and the wall.

Kala and Harry came plopping down as the material unfolded, both landing perfectly on their feet with surprised expressions.

"And that's the last we should be seeing of him - I swore off mirrors forever!" Gummy proudly stated, the feeling of warmth now inside his hand as (Y/n) tightened her grip.

"Boy, I thought you were gonna go along with him and be bad..." Kala panted.

"Yeah, why didn't you go along with your doppel Gummy? Was it that you just couldn't get yourself to be bad and turn on your friends? That bad was just against your good judgement? That if you were evil, you wouldn't be you anymore, the Gummy we all know and love!?" Harry rambled, earning a proudly beaming smile from the final question.

"Nah, beards are just so scratchy! If I had to wear a beard to be bad, then I just didn't wanna!" Gummy replied, as if the answer was obvious and earning confused looks from his friends and a giggle from his girlfriend.

He turned to (Y/n), snapping one azure eye shut in a swift wink to show he was kidding, earning another adorable giggle and a little blush.

Gummy then turned serious, looking down a little. "So, uh, (Y/n)..." He started.

"Hmm..."

"About that photo earlier..." Gummy continued, bringing out the torn image from the beginning of the day, although this time, (Y/n) noticed something.

The photo waa no longer ripped down the center, rather gently taped back together with nothing but care and love.

She gently took it from his grasp, holding back tears of joy that threatened to spill.

"Oh, Gummy, you really didn't need to..."

"I wanted to, because I saw how much it meant to you, and to show how much you mean to me..." The volume of his voice decreased to a whisper as the sentence continued, his eyes shifting to his little white trainers on the floor from embarrassment.

(Y/n) flung her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders, the precious photo still in gentle hold. She snuggled into his shoulder as she felt his arms wrap around her back.

"Thank you..." She whispered, before breaking the hug.

"Oh, and..." Gummy continued.

"Yeah..?"

"About that stuff Doppel Gummy was saying... you didn't like that did you... I mean, you didn't like him, did you?"

(Y/n) giggled. "Of course not! Sure, he was trying, but seriously failing..."

"You know I won't ever love anyone else!" She said, laughing a little through the sentence.

Gummy blushed, turning his gaze back down to the floor as he nervously shuffled his feet. "Well, you know... just checking..."

He smiled a little at the sound of another giggle, before Kala ruined the moment.

She popped her head back around the doorway, minutes after leaving with Harry.

"Come on, guys! Frank's ice cream truck's outside!" She called, earning both Gummy and (Y/n) slightly hungry attention.

(Y/n) sighed, a laugh following at her sister's behaviour. She turned back, wanting to finish the moment before any frozen desserts.

She quickly kissed Gummy's cheek before intertwining their fingers and pulling him outside for some icy cold treats to end the whacky day.
