Honey! Gummigoo x Pomni TADC

1 - Back Up to Down Under

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Crash! 

Smoke billowed up from the syrup tanker truck, swirling and twirling in the air, the blue sky as blue as... the sky.

Pomni coughed, weakly pulling herself out of the window of the mayday-ed vehicle, holding her head with a slight groan. The world was dizzy for a moment until she stood up.

'I... I've been in a f*%#^% flying truck crash landing, and I LIVED!?' Pomni thought to herself and looked back at the wreckage. 

"Wait.. Gummigoo! Are you okay!?" Pomni immediately remembered the candy comrade and raced over to the other side of the tanker, relieved to see him struggling with the seatbelt, gnawing and tugging on it before he looked up. 

"Clown! Took quite a tumble, didn't we?" He responded, before struggling against the seatbelt again.

"Here! Let me help," Pomni was quick to undo the seatbelt, reaching over him as she did so. "Yeah, I can't believe we lived through that.. yet again, we did survive falling all the way down to.. well.. that place." She sighed, and Gummi nodded.

Once out, Gummi crossed his arms and glared at the truck, as if it'd get back up and fix itself if he scowled hard enough. "This didn't go the way I had imagined.."

"Does anything go to plan here?" Pomni muttered, and then looked around, realizing she had not a clue where they were. "Where did we end up anyway? Do you recognize anything?" Gummi paused, taking in the surroundings as well, before simply blinking.

"I've got no idea." Gummi finally said, shrugging as he went to the back of the tank, twisting the syrup tap.

"What?? You live here, how do you not know!" Pomni exclaimed, following right behind him.

Gummi shrugged, "Never been this far. You been here?" He rebutted, hands on his hips as he raised a white brow.

"I-.. no-"

"Then there you have it. I don't know where we are, or how exactly to get back yet, but she'll be right yet, pipsqueak." Gummi assured, sounding much more confident than she felt.

"Who?" Pomni quizzed.

"Whaddaya mean?" 

"Who will be alright?" Pomni asked again, confused.

"You've been hanging out with my mates too much.." Gummi rolled his eyes and grabbed two cantines from a compartment on the side of the truck, filling them with the syrup flowing from the tank. 

"Mates? You mean those other two guys?" Pomni asked, eyes slightly widened when he dropped a cantine into her arms, and began walking, she quickly followed in tow.

"Aye, Chad and Max. A bunch o' good bogans they are," Gummi sighed, "I reckon they're chewing their own tails over me right now.." He sighed with a small chuckle, looking down as she caught up to his side, cantine sloshing in her arms.

"You care a lot about them," Pomni stated, a smile on her face. It was nice to see something normal. Comforting. She wondered if her new.. acquaintances, missed her too...

"'Course I do. Just like you care about your lot, what are their names again?" Gummi asked.

Pomni went on to tell him about the other's who'd introduced her to the Circus. Gummi listened all the long as they continued walking. Soon enough, dusk began to settle in on the sugary land, a sweet sunset beginning to dip behind the plateaus.

"We should find a place to rest soon, this land isn't so forgiving in the night." Gummi suddenly interrupted one of her rants, and Pomni paused, thrown off by his sudden cut off. He was looking around, eyes squinted.

Pomni felt her heart skip, and quickly looked around aswell, but the darkness approaching tainted her vision. Gummi, however, knew exactly what was up.

"Dulce dingos.."
