I was thinking last week about gumball when I realized a possible theory. In the pressure, masami pretends darwin is her boyfriend, even though in the storm, she is in love with alan. so the question is: why didn't masami pretend alan was her boyfriend in the pressue? well, at the end of the storm, masami realized alan was "a big wet cheeseball" and had no romantic intrest in her. even though it was fake, masami wanted nothing to do with alan in the pressure because it took place after she decided she hated him. in conclusion, masami had already decided alan was bad, and did not want to be his "girlfriend".
