Wild West Candy Kingdom Junction (Gumshall/ Gumllee)

Gumball signed yet another paper in his signature flourish and put into his nicely stacked finished paper pile. He filled a couple of documents in a cabinet hurriedly before attack the ever growing piles of tasks, and documents, and bills, and papers to get done with. This was one of the downs of being mayor of Candy Kingdom Junction, paperwork, and lots of it. Though Gumball liked being mayor of Candy Kingdom junction, the air was fresh even though the summers where hot in the desert, and the people where as sweet as the treat the town was named after. Gumball  practically made this town, he got to see it grow from the ground up. And even though the town had it's fair share of ups and downs and all around, things were finally looking up for them.

Trade with the town had been booming. they had five year contracts with three agricultural towns within the state, one of them specializing with cane sugar. The town couldn't be happier, though there had been little chaoses. Who keeps taking the milk i keep on my porch? Why isn't the mail man delivering my package yet. When are we going to have a town social? Little Tim is playing his violin to load. We don't have enough paper plates for the town picnic? Small things, but Gumball was determined to keep the people of his little kingdom happy, orderly, and safe, he almost thought of himself as a prince at times. So he looked through each complaint with vigar.

Gumball adjusted his glasses and smooth out his gray dress pants and adjusted his dark pink burgundy vest, settle down for another long session again of cramming paper work.

As of recent boxes of apples have been missing between unloading and loadings between train transfer for Sweet Apple Acres County. The amount of apples missing have summed up to a rather a large amount that not only Gumball has noticed but so has Sweet Apple Acres County. They threaten to obliterate the contract between them completely if the origin  of the thievery is not found soon. Gumball was signing the agreement for solving the said problem, messaging the sides of his forehead. He knows he has been stressed the crinkles in his pale pink dress shirt and the stains on his vest where anything to go by. Work kept him distracted though, from dangerous thoughts.

Pepper, Gumball's childhood nanny now turned personal assistant, walked into the room, her dark blue dress contrasting greatly with her white and red apron and bonnet. She walked in carry a steaming pot of tea that Gumball knew instantly what the kettle's contents where.

"Oh thank heavens," he smiled pausing his work out of respect," I"ve been craving some of that scrumptious legendary tea of your's. I could sense the peppermint tea  as soon as you walked into the room. May i have a cuppa?" he clasped his hands together in partial giddy anticipation and partial pleading.

"Of course sir," She pours the herbal drink into the pink china cup with flawless grace, the hot liquid making an impressive arch. "I,Unfortunately am also the bringer of bad news," She says handing Gumball the cup and saucer.

Gumball nodded in thanks before he took a sip and spoke,"Oh goodness Ms. Peppermint, why couldn't this been submitted to me in paperwork? You know how vocal the town's people can get in the slightest bit of chaos." He jokes to her rather than remind her of the fact. He takes another sip of the mint tea he is rather enjoying, "How bad is it now? A leak in the water tower? No,probably just the power in the candy factory again. I have extra-"

"No sir," She trembled a bit, "It Mar-"

"GUMBALL!" Fiona came rushing in her tall black speared cow girl boots clinging with every step she took and her fluffy cat companion mewing in behind her. "Has Mrs. Pep told you what's up? We need to get you to safety." Fiona was serious hand already glued to her leather gun holster on her hip, her Sheriff badge gleaming.

Gumball, alarmed and confused, stood up his chair still holding his tea cup in hand, "What's all this fussin' about?"

Fiona looked at Peppermint, as if looking for permission to speak, and Peppermint curtly nodded, allowing her to do so.
