Chapter 11
The party continued wildly for an hour and a half till sunset came, then it was time for justice and amends to be done. Even though Lord Licorice was innocent and meant no real harm, and got his chance to dance – rather badly, at that – he was still arrested and put behind metal bars in the castle's dungeon. King Kandy made sure to confiscate all his magic weapons and items that used Sour Power so another catastrophe would not happen for a while. He promised to hand them back in two months, of course.
Princess Bubblegum escorted her subjects out of Candy Land and back to her own castle, and checked the King's castle to find that her old time travel device was broken, so its single use time was already spent. She then took out those remains and buried them quickly in the nearby grass lands. Finally, she opened the Lich's notebook and tore out the page for the time travel spell. As Finn and Jake said their goodbyes to the 7 citizens, Peter and Sally, Abracadaniel read the time travel spell aloud. Shafts of rainbow-colored light spewed from the edges of Candy Land's broken terrain and swirled into a vortex in the sky as he chanted those words. As the light grew familiarly bright again, like when the device was previously used, Finn noticed that everyone was waving goodbye. It almost seemed as if they wanted to break into song, which brought a tear of joy to his eye. Then the chunk of land vanished in a blinding flash, teleporting back to the small island in 2013. Candy Land's newer members greeted them with a round of cheers and applause, happy to have their king and core members back again. King Kandy too was pleased to see them. Queen Frostine would never forget the Ice King, but his love for her was never enough to sway her from King Kandy.
Princess Bubblegum remembered to burn the time travel spell page when she returned to her lab. Time travel itself was not to be in the hands of villains, so that spell was better off destroyed. Marceline, who was absent from the ball, played a small song on her ax-bass before and when Finn and Jake returned home. Then she left, and Jake removed the small camera in Finn's shirt. BMO, like before, copied the entire long video to Blu-Ray disc. Finn took it out of her slot and placed it alongside the first one. They were both in need of titles, so he thought of something clever and wrote "Candy Time part 1" and "part 2" on them with a marker. Maybe he and his buddies could watch them on Christmas along with Simon Petrikov's video diary.
Then after a quick shower and dental procedures, he and Jake retired to their upstairs bedrooms. As he lay down on his fur-lined bed, Finn felt that this adventure was now finally complete. Everything was resolved, and now he could move on with whatever adventures were ahead in the future. As always, an adventurer like him was ready for anything. A fun and quirky adventure that literally fell out of the sky with a new country, humans and all, was the best one Finn had ever experienced, but he thought that sooner or later, there'd be one even better than that coming soon. He just knew it.
THE END!
