"ah— be careful not to drink too much…" she said, watching him empty his glass. He seemed like he was still a young child who can get drunk easily and she didn't want him vomiting all over her candy castle.
She took a bread out from the small basket and nibbled on it, letting the peppermint pour her another glass of wine. She was just about ask him if he wanted to go back to his room when a thought came across her mind. People were a lot more honest when they're drunk. And this seemed like a good opportunity to get some secrets out of this kid..
Finn happily watched his glass being refilled as his nibbled on some bread. This time, he took his time to sip the wine and eat the bread. Making sure he can enjoy the fullest of the wine and bread.
After the fourth glass, it was clear that he's getting very tipsy. He was all giggles and laughs, finding everything funny and his blue face was turning a red color. Finn was swaying a little and he can't think clearly.
The peppermint watched the blue-skinned child. "princess, shouldn't we stop him—?"
"no, let him be. I have a plan.." she said with a bit serious tone as she sipped from her glass. "could.. Could you get a voice recorder-?" she said, her pink face starting to turn into a noticeable shade of bright red. "and make sure it's on when i start questioning him. I..i don't want to miss any details."
"…yes, your highness." the peppermint ran off to get the recorder.
"sooo—… *hic* how's the wine—-?" she said to the prince. her thoughts were starting to get fuzzy now.
Finn looked at the princess with a goofy smile and giggled
"It's *Hic* It's… great!" He said gleefully. Finn groped for the bottle and, once he got his hands on it, he poured himself a hearty amount in his glass. He drank a fairly large amount of wine and ate the late bread happily. it should be noted that the crown was only a few inches away from falling off of Finn's head.
As soon as the princess noticed that her butler came back with the recorder, she started asking questions. "sooo— how do you make it snow and stuff— it's really pretty- pretty pretty pretty—…" she ended the sentence with a hiccup and nibbled on her bread.
Finn giggled a bit more then said "I *Hic* don't *hic* not sure… Heh, heh!" The crown fell off his head as he chuckled. Finn dived down and picked up the crown. However, instead of putting it back on, Finn held up the crown high over his head and loudly proclaimed
"I LEARNED THE SECRETS OF ICE AND SNOW!" Finn waved the crown a little before he shoved it back on his head then drained the rest of the wine from his glass.
The candy princess hiccuped. "that..that's a shiny crown…" she said, taking another sip from her glass. "heheh. Shiny crown thing. Ice magic…" she started to giggle uncontrollably.
"It's true!" Laughed Finn leaning back, thrusting his hands into the air. His chair threatening to fall backwards.
"Crowny taught me*hic* the ways of ICE and SNOW!" He stopped leading back and laid down on the table, hiccuping and groped around for the bottle of wine. He quickly discovered that the bottle was empty.
"Aaww! All *hic* out!" Finn got up from the table and wobbled towards where he thinks is the kitchen is. He tripped over his feet and fell flat on his face. The crown fell over as a result of the fall and rolled a yard away from the blue child. Finn didn't notice the crown was not on his head as he slowly picked himself up.
The candy princess fell asleep on the table, her face flat on the white tablecloth.
The peppermint butler ran to assist the prince. "sir— may i suggest you to go to your room for the night-? It's getting late.." he said, reaching down to pick the crown up.
Finn saw that the butler wad reaching out fr the crown and he screamed bloody murder. His friendly mood was gone, replaced with rage. He tackled the candy butler away from the crown. Finn quickly snatched up the crown and held it like he was trying to protect his first born. Finn glared at him, his eyes were strangely glowing white. Muttering darkly, Finn placed the crown back on top his head.
"I… I can… I can f-find my room…" He said getting up and wobbled away.
"ah..alright…" the candy butler got up, rubbing his arms that he hit the ground with. He watched the prince wobble away, then walked towards the sleeping princess to carry her to her bedroom.
After much wondering and crashing into things, Finn somehow found his room. He close the door and crashed onto the bed. Right before he fell into a deep sleep, he adjusted the crown. He wanted to make sure it stayed onto his head. Quickly, he fell asleep.
The peppermint carried the princess all the way to her room, and half- placed, half- tossed her onto the pink bed. He was very tired.. He decided to keep the recorder with him for now and tucked her in. "goodnight, princess…" he said as he gently closed the door behind him.
Finn slowly woke. He opened his bleary eyes and looked around. He groaned loudly as he sat up.
"Wha… what happened last night? What was I doing?" He asked, rubbing his head. "Oooww… my head…"
The peppermint was in the dining hall with the princess. "ughhh.. I feel sick.." the candy princess moaned. She had a terrible headache and a turning stomach.. She put her head down on the table and groaned.
Finn decided just to go back to sleep. He laid back down and tried to go back to sleep. Rubbing his head all the while.
"Why can't I remember anything?!" He muttered angerly
After about thirty minutes, the candy princess got up from her seat and decided to go check on her lab. It seems like the prince isn't going to show up to breakfast, and she was in no mood to eat anything.
She was looking through the messy pile of documents on her desk when she remembered something. "peppermint, do you still have the recorder—?"
"oh, yes, my princess.." The peppermint took the recorder out from his pockets and hit the 'play' button.
