Chapter 8 - Trial

"Finn and Jake, you've been charged with treason and conspiracy against the Candy Kingdom," PB said in an authoritarian voice as she sat on her throne surrounded by trusted members of the kingdom. "...for which the punishment is death. Now, is there anything you would like to say in your defense before the sentencing?" PB wouldn't have ever thought of having to do this to Finn and Jake, who were supposed to be heroes of Ooo.

"I swear, Princess Cookie was the leader of this. She wanted to take over your throne and be the next princess. We were trying to prove to you that we aren't traitors. They are."

"Do you have any evidence to back that up?"

"I guess only Anais can answer that."

They were taken to the dungeons where PC and his gang was. They refused to speak about anything, knowing the blame will be on Finn and others. Captain Root Beer was working on restoring the computers in the castle as the hearing went on.

Finally Anais, Gumball and Darwin were brought to the court.

"Gumball the cat, Darwin the fish… and what is your name?"

"Anais," she replied nervously.

"and Anais the rabbit. Though I don't know where you are from, you've committed a crime and threatened the safety of this kingdom. Is there anything you have to say in your defense before-" PB's watch began to ring. She irritably looked at it. It was an email alert. The castle's systems were fixed and everything was working. but she knew this was no time to check emails.

"...before sentencing?" she quickly continued.

"I sent you an email containing all photos and videos I took on my camera right before they hacked all the computers in the cafe. It's the only evidence that shows that Finn and Jake didn't do anything."
"That evening they were giving us our treasures back - we discovered it under a lake," Darwin said.

PB seemed to take a moment to think. She looked down on her watch and opened the email and there it was - the video of PC snapping pictures of Finn and Jake, Tifanny on the computers and plenty of pictures.

"Well… I guess this really proves that you are all innocent," PB concluded, "I guess that means you're free to go. Along with Finn and Jake."

Gumball, Darwin and Anais cheered as the guards moved out of the way and they walked out.

~At Finn's house~

Finn, Jake, Gumball, Darwin and Anais were having dinner together as they chatted away about their adventures.

"So, how did you like the Land of Ooo?" Finn asked Anais.

"It's great! I wish I had the pictures with me though," she said sadly.

"Don't worry, we'll ask PB to forward the pictures to you."

"Why don't you guys stay back for a couple of days? You barely got to see anything," Jake said.

"I would love to, but I really miss my home," Anais said regrettably.

"And we have a science project due in our school!" Darwin remembered.

"Who needs school when you have precious jewels from the future?" Gumball smirked.

"Oh yeah… Then let's get back home and spend them all on a yacht!"

"Yay!"

Finn came back with a flashdrive, "Here's all your pictures." Anais took it happily.

"Well, I guess it's finally time to say goodbye," Gumball announced as he got up.

"I'm gonna miss you all so much," Darwin said tearing up as he took the briefcase from Jake.

"It's alright. You know how to get here."

"Come back sometime after turning in your science project or something. Then we can go on some real adventure," Finn said enthusiastically.

Darwin sniffed, "That makes me feel better."

"All systems ready to go," BMO said walking towards them, "I'm going to miss you, even though we didn't really get to talk."

"Aww. You even have a robot pet?" Gumball looked curiously at BMO.

"He lives with us in the house."

They walked to the microwave where BMO have put in some clocks and set the timer. Gumball pressed the start button as Darwin and Anais climbed on top of the oven.

"See you soon!" Anais shouted as a bright light began to fill the room.

"Goodbye!"
