The forest was dark, quiet, and felt like another world. Jack soon found Bubblegum sitting on a large ancient tree root, pensive.
She was akin to an exquisite goddess, her luscious pink hair incredibly dazzling. Many would have noted her grace or how enchanting she looked with her face slightly flushed from the alcohol.
But to Jack, she was just Bubblegum. She had a good head on her shoulders, was reliable, and was a great teammate. Still, she sure did look utterly vibrant and full of life.
He silently went to sit by her side, and for a few seconds, they remained in absolute silence.
"You'll be leaving?" She gently asked.
"Yes. I've already fulfilled the conditions to leave and achieved the max level in the tutorial. After the party, Igor will take me away." Jack nodded.
"You'll have to be careful. I won't be there to get eaten in your stead. Not for many days at least." She chuckled.
