Braco woke up in his house and looked at his calendar. Today was the day he would start to help Bubblegum with running the Candy Kingdom, by doing various task and duties. Braco saw he still had a couple of hours, before he needed to do his first royal duty, so he decided to drop by the hospital and see how Finn was doing. Braco grabbed his bike and pedaled off to the hospital. The candy man first stopped at a local bakery to pick up a box of donuts for Finn and the others. On the way to the hospital, Braco noticed a small candy boy standing by a tree crying. Braco rode his bike over to the tree and got off.
"What seems to be the problem?" Asked Braco.
"My balloon is stuck...in the tree!" Cried to the little boy as he pointed up at the tree.
Braco looked up in the tree and saw a blue ballon stuck in it. Braco glanced at the crying kid and he knew what he had to do. Without a word Braco began to scale the tree, until he reached a branch underneath the balloon. Braco reached out a hand and grabbed the balloon and then he climbed back down the tree and handed it to the little boy. The boy stopped crying and smiled as he took the balloon. Braco smiled as he got back onto his bike.
"Thanks mister!" Said the boy.
Braco smiled back as he gave the boy a thumbs up, before he pedaled away towards the hospital. Twenty minutes later Braco arrived at the hospital and went up to Finn's room with the box of donuts. Finn was in the room with Jake, Jermaine, Phoebe, Lady, the pups, and Stormo. Jake and Finn were telling everybody about a few of the crazy adventures they had been on, when Braco arrived with the donuts.
"Hey everybody I brought you all some donuts." Said Braco cheerfully.
"Awesome!" Cheered Jake Jr., as she and her siblings went over to Braco and they each pulled out a donut from the box.
The pups thanked Braco, before they began digging into their donuts. Braco then went about handing donuts to the others.
"Thanks Braco this is really nice." Said Finn as he munched on a donut.
"Your welcome Finn, so how are you doing?" Said Braco.
"Oh I'm doing ok. Docs say I only have to wear this cast for a few more weeks and then I can get it off." Said Finn.
"Well it's good to hear your doing better." Said Braco with a smile.
"So what are you up to today?" Asked Jake.
"Well today's the day I help Bubblegum out with the kingdom. I have have a few errands to run for her." Said Braco.
"Well good luck with that man." Said Finn with a smile.
Braco smiled back before he said goodbye to everyone and left the room.
"You know it's about time, Bubblegum let someone help her with her kingdom instead of running everything by herself." Said Jake.
"Yeah and Braco seems like the right guy to help." Added Phoebe.
The others nodded in agreement.
Braco left the hospital and headed to his first stop. The train yard, to present a new train to the public. Braco got off his bike and got onto a stage in front of a crowd where Starchy handed him a bottle of cherry soda to christian the new train.
"Hello everybody, I am Braco and a long time ago my grandfather was one of the first engineers who helped build the Candy Kingdom Railway. My grandfather was a hard working man, who believed that you can accomplish any great task if you worked hard enough and put your mind to it. He dreamed of helping his kingdom grow and become great. I wish to continue my grandfather's dream and present our kingdom with this new train that will help our people." Said Braco before he turned to the train and smashed the bottle of soda on it.
The crowd cheered and yelled with approval as Braco took a bow. The candy man shook a few hands with some people, before he hopped on his bike and headed off to his next errand. Braco went to the castle, where he met up with Gridface Princess to instal a bunch of shield generators around the Candy Kingdom. A map of the Candy Kingdom was pulled out and Braco and Gridface Princess discussed where the best places would be to place the shield generators. After that was decided, Gridface Princess's helpers along with the assistance of some Banana Guards set up the shield generators and briefly checked to see if they worked. A pink dome shield appeared over the city and then it vanished. Braco shook Grdface Princess's hand and thanked her for the shield generators.
Now Braco was done with his errands, so he decided to do a little riding along on his bike. The candy man passed a playground with children playing on it and smiled and waved at them as he continued on with his ride. Braco liked kids and he thought about having kids of his own with Bubblegum, but he decided to wait to see how his relationship with Bubblegum went before he got into that topic with her. The candy person rode his bike out of the kingdom and went exploring, until he eventually found himself at a junkyard. Braco decided to look through the junk, to see if there were any salvageable machines worth tinkering with. As Braco was examining a old radio, he heard a noise from above and looked up to see a figure standing on top of a pile of rusted cars. The figure leaped off the pile, flipped through the air, and landed before Braco. Braco jumped back surprised as he saw that the figure was some kind of robot that resembled a gumball machine with arms, legs, and a sword strapped to his side.
"Greetings stranger, I'm sorry for startling you. Not many people visit this place." Said the robot.
Braco studied the robot and realized what it was.
"Oh my goodness, your one of the old robot guards Bubblegum built!" Gasped Braco with excitement.
"I see you know your history. I am indeed one of the robots Bubblegum built to protect her kingdom in the old days. You may call me Rattleballs."
"Nice to meet you Rattleballs. My name is Braco." Said Braco as he stuck his hand out to Rattleballs and they shook each others hands. "You don't mind me asking this, but I thought all of the gumball robots were destroyed."
"Well they were except for me. The rest of my brethren, myself included were a bit violent, so Bubblegum thought it would be best to destroy us, so we didn't cause any trouble. By chance I heard about her plan to destroy us and I managed to escape my sheer willpower and I have been hiding here ever since. I have been meditating to become peaceful and honing to my sword skills to better improve myself in the hopes that I can serve Bubblegum and the Candy Kingdom." Explained Rattleballs.
"That's quit a story Rattleballs. Your a very impressive machine and think we can help each other out." Said Braco.
"How so?" Asked Rattleballs.
"Well, I'm currently dating Bubblegum and I've been helping her with her kingdom." Said Braco.
Rattleballs suddenly got on his knees and kneeled before Braco.
"Please to meet you future King of the Candy Kingdom." Said Rattleballs.
"There's no need for that! I'm not a king or anyone with power yet." Said Braco.
"Alright then...so you were saying." Said Rattleballs as he stood up.
"I could put in a good word for you when, your ready to ready to head back to the Candy Kingdom. I can convince Bubblegum, you've changed and that you should live." Said Braco.
"And in exchange for this?" Asked Rattleballs.
"I want you to teach me how to fight with a sword." Said Braco with determination in his eyes.
"Pardon?" Asked Rattleballs.
"I want to learn how to fight and become stronger. The land of Ooo and all of its kingdoms and villages, are constantly under attack by evil forces. There are heroes in the lands, but I wish to learn how to fight, so that I may aid the other heroes and protect my people." Said Braco.
Rattleballs studied Braco closely and saw the determination in his eyes. The gumball robot smiled at Braco.
"Very well I will teach you the art of the sword."
"Thank you." Said Braco.
For the next few days, Braco would run errands for Bubblegum and after he was done, he would head to the junkyard to do sword training with Rattleballs. The training was tough at first, but Braco began to improve and form a good friendship with Rattleballs. The robot liked Braco and told him he had the makings of a true king. Braco would just laugh and say he was just a simple man, who Bubblegum had taken a great fondness of. As the days went by Rattleballs was contemplating about going to the Candy Kingdom and speaking to Bubblegum about serving her again. Little did Rattleballs know was that he was going to the Candy Kingdom sooner then he expected.
