Chapter 6 - Apple Pie and Escape
"Finn? Jake? You're back?" Tree Trunks asked as she saw the group hastily entering the house, "Darwin, you left some of your goodies back here."
"T-thanks, I forgot," he said nervously.
"Got anymore apple pie, Tree Trunks?" Finn asked, hiding his anxiety.
"Well of course," she said as she went near the oven to take out the pie.
"What do we do now? PB probably thinks we're some top-notch criminals," Jake asked.
"I just want to go home with our treasures. Darwin, there's a oven right there!," Gumball stated. "And there's the clock we need," he pointed.
"Gumball, we need to prove Finn and Jake innocent," Darwin protested, "They have helped us all along!"
Gumball agreed with Darwin, although he really wanted to go back home where they can finally stop running.
"We are going to need to put those in a safe place though. I don't think we can run around with these," Anais stated.
"Ya'll are forgetting that I'm a magic dog. Do what we did the last time," Jake said, "Put it in Jake's safe." he transformed into a box like shape and opened up a 'door'. Darwin put all their treasures in Jake's safe and he went back to his normal shape - but a bit bigger this time.
There was a knock in the door.
Tree Trunks opened it and Mr. Pig stood there with several banana guards. He looked shockingly at Finn and Jake.
"So you were giving shelter to fugitives," Mr. Pig said to Tree Trunks.
"Finn? And Jake? Fugitives?"
"Yes," he looked at them, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't lie to the Princess. I would go to jail if she found out I'm lying. And now I even got a baby to take care of."
Baby Lich was seen playing with a large toy in the corner of the room.
"I always wondered what they were doing with a huge baby but I was too afraid to ask," Anais muttered.
"Finn and Jake, you are under arrest for treason and conspiracy," the guards said.
Anais began to panic; she tugged on Finn's shirt. "We can't give in! I have all the evidence here," she whispered, "I just need to send them to the Princess!"
"Do you know anywhere we can have internet access?" Gumball asked quickly.
"Oh I know a place," Jake realized. "Guys, can we just go to the cafe before you arrest us?"
The guards looked at each other.
"Come on, we're going to prison for life - don't we deserve our last coffee together?" Jake pleaded.
"Did the Princess tell us to take them in right away or after a coffee break?"
"Pretty sure she said nothing."
"That must mean coffee break."
"... yes," he turned his attention to the group, "Yeah you guys can go for a coffee."
"Thank you!" Finn said enthusiastically as he beckoned the others to follow. They quickly shuffled into the surrounding woods.
Princess Bubblegum called the guard that she sent to arrest the group, "Did you get them?"
"No Princess, they asked for a coffee break before being thrown in the dungeons for life."
PB on the other side banged the telephone on her head. "Why why why do I ever trust them with important responsibilities?" A sudden crack was heard. She broke her candy cane receiver.
"URGH!"
