Kariel stares at his metallic mechanical legs and gives off a big sigh. He sits on his bet, contemplating alone.

Later...

Princess Bubblegum, the ruler of the Candy Kingdom and Highest Honor of the Council of Princesses, slowly puts a hair sample with her gum. She puts it in some sort of machine. The machine looks like a large glass cylinder. She left it there for 9 hours and returns to see a blue humanoid fully formed fetus. She pressed a button just at the side of the cylinder near the cap as the baby is born.

Princess Bubblegum carries the baby.

"Hm," she coldly hummed. "So this is a baby."

Princess Bubblegum gives the baby a rattle and pats her head.

"Project: Mint. Age: 9 hours. Species: Human-Gum Person Hybrid," said Princess Bubblegum into a recorder.

Suddenly, a Stand resembling Gold Experience emerged from her body. It is much small and has a feminine body compared to Miguel's and Gio Brando's Stand.

"Hm," said Princess Bubblegum. "Stand Name: Gold Experience. Ability: Unknown."

*knock knock*

Kariel walks in. "Hey, Bonnie!" smiled Kariel.

"Hello, Mr. JoJo," said Princess Bubblegum.

"Aw! Is this a new Candy Person?" asked Kariel.

"Sure?" asked Princess Bubblegum. "This is actually my daughter."

"Oh!" smiled Kariel. "Hey, there, little guy! Gal... I mean... Who's the mom? Oh, right! Marceline the Vampire Queen! Haha...
Wait... That makes no sense..."

"It's fine. I cloned my gum with a human's!" smiled Bonnie. "It's... *ahem*... she's... my clone."

"Okay, cool," said Kariel. "Isn't that kinda cheating, though? On your jowa?"

"What the blood's a jowa?" asked Princess Bubblegum.

"It's slang in the Philippines for partner-... Never mind..." said Kariel. 

"It's not cheating because there's no sexual activity in her creation," said Princess Bubblegum.

"Nope! Nope! Nope!" shouted Kariel, covering his ears. "Don't wanna hear it all over again. Anyway! Kuya sent me here to deliver a package to him! Where is the package?"

"Oh," said Princess Bubblegum. "This little one is the package. Protect her at all costs and make sure no one harms her...
People out there are sent to harm her, actually.
For the fate of the world...
And also probably... maternal reasons...
Deliver her in Finn and Jake's apartment portal only. Do not use your Stand to deliver her into the other Dimension."

Princess Bubblegum snuggles the child on her chest.

"Who will you send it to?" asked Kariel.

"Well... of course... to the person I trust the most," said Princess Bubblegum. "Her father."

"Who's the papa, exactly?" asked Kariel.

"Oh..." smiled Princess Bubblegum. "It's Mertens. Finn Mertens."

Kariel drives silently in the night toward the Human Colony, where Minerva currently rules as Princess of the Humans. The night was cold, but not too cold, and was rather blissful. Crickets chirped around and owls hooted. It was a calm and beautiful night. He drove in the grasslands toward the Human Colony in a truck.
