Oh gosh, what is this garbage? I barely remember writing this.

'''In Elmore park, Rob was sitting on a bench, watching his former classmates play kickball. He sighed, remembering when he was still friends with them. Suddenly, the ball rolled towards him.'''

'''“Hey, kid!” Tobias shouted. “Kick it over!”'''

'''Rob paused for a moment, until finally realizing that Tobias was talking to him. “Me?” he asked.'''

'''“Yeah, dude! Come on!”'''

'''Rob smiled weakly, hardly believing what he was hearing. He kicked the ball over to them, and Tobias caught it.'''

'''“Thanks, dude!” Then they left. Rob let out a disappointed sigh. He was about to get up and leave when he stopped in his tracks.'''

'''“What…?” He looked behind him to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. Right there, playing with the other kids, was a boy who looked exactly like Rob did back in Season 2. He was almost convinced his eye was playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eye, then opened it again. It was not a hallucination. But how could there possibly be another boy who looks exactly like him?'''

Rob found himself listening in on the kids.

'''“Hey, Rich!” Tobias yelled. “Throw it to me!”'''

“No, me!” Molly shouted.

'''“No, throw it to me!” said Teri. “Rich” laughed and kicked it to her. It hit her in the chest, sending her flying backwards. Everyone laughed.'''

'''“Rich?” Rob thought to himself. This isn’t a doppelganger, this guy is trying to be me! Then he stopped himself from thinking about this any further. Hold on. Let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. I don’t know for sure that he’s trying to copy me. It could just be a weird coincidence, after all.'''

But right as he thought that, he saw “Rich” walk up to Gumball and Darwin.

'''“Gumball! Darwin! What’s up, guys?” he said.'''

Gumball and Darwin stared awkwardly at each other a moment, then Gumball said, “Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey...Rob?”

'''From the bench across the park, Rob clenched his fists in anger. The one time Gumball gets his name right, he calls someone else by it.'''

'''“Rich’s” expression fell. “Did you just call me Rob like it was a question?”'''

'''“Ha! I’m just messing with you! I know who you are, Rich!” Gumball laughed. “Rich” smiled as Darwin laughed with Gumball.'''

'''When they left, “Rich” glanced at Rob out of the corner of his eye and smirked. He waved at him and left.'''

'''Rob’s eye widened at the sight of this. This boy was deliberately, intentionally copying him, even taking the name Rich. '''
