Chapter 4 - The Plan
"Do you even know what you're aiming for?" Gareth asked astonished.
"Yes. And it is possible - through careful planning and perfect manipulation," PC replied, "And soon… I will be the new ruler for the candy people. I will finally be a princess…"
The flying lettuce brothers looked at each other after seeing PC's bizarre wishes. But this plan will only benefit them. They could live at ease in the palace instead of making a living out of conning people.
"Imagine Gareth, being the new prince of the Kingdom. You will have ladies getting crazy to have your hand in marriage. And Tiffany, you get to be in charge of everything across the kingdom."
"Enough of dreaming. Do you even have a plan?" Tiffany squealed in his immature voice.
PC smirked, "Have you heard of the new tech that PB made public in this kingdom?"
"The internet? I've been using that for ages!" Tiffany answered.
"And that's exactly how we will take over the throne." He walked to the window and looked down at the streets. Mr. Pig, the owner of the bar have given them the empty apartment thanks to the Flying Lettuce Brother's money.
"Keep a strict eye out for Finn and Jake. If they are seen anywhere in this Kingdom, arrest them immediately."
"But aren't they your friends?" Captain Root Beer asked as they looked at the street security cameras.
"Not anymore," she answered, "...This is very strange. I thought Finn and Jake would never think about harming the Candy kingdom."
"Sometimes the enemy is someone who we think is our friend. Remember when you staged your kidnapping? Even I thought Finn and Jake aren't capable of doing something like that."
Princess Bubblegum frowned, not because she was upset at his words, it's because she knew her people are in danger. Little did she know that PC was planning a direct attack on her.
Next Morning ~
"Wow, these are some great apple pie, Ms…"
"Tree Trunks."
"I told you she makes great apple pie," Finn smiled as he munched on. All were hungry from running and hiding from the guards.
"Mind if I take some pictures and videos of your house?" Anais asked politely as she enjoyed her pie.
"Why? Well of course," Tree Trunks agreed without giving it much thought. "Isn't she a curious child?" she asked smiling.
"I just love this place," Anais said excitedly.
"Where's Mr. Pig?" Jake asked.
"He is at the bar right now. Did I tell you he has his own bar now?"
"Wow, that's great!" Jake said, "Imma go grab a drink from him right now." He tugged Finn along with him.
"But Jake-"
"Imma ask Mr. Pig whether he's seen anything suspicious going on around his bar. I know Princess Cookie would be hanging at a bar somewhere."
"We should take Gumball, Darwin and Anais with us," Finn stated, "It's better to move together."
"I can't believe an entire city made out of candy! You really weren't lying," Anais said, never getting tired of discovering new things in this bizarre land.
"If only we weren't fugitives, we could've gone on another candy eating spree," Darwin said regrettably.
"Darwin!" Gumball snapped.
"Fugitives?" Tree Trunks asked looking at Anais.
"Hey, you guys wanna come with us?" Jake poked his head in.
Gumball hesitated, "S-sure…"
"But Jake, aren't they under the legal age?" Tree Trunks asked.
"They are just sightseeing with us," Jake replied as Gumball, Darwin and Anais walked towards the door.
"Thank you for your pie. They were great!"
"...You're welcome," Tree Trunks said as she watched the group walk away. "Finn and Jake wouldn't help fugitives." She looked at the corner where Darwin left all his jewels. "Oh my, they left their things in my house. How are they going to pay for shopping?"
Note: Not many people in the Candy Kingdom have easy access to the internet.
