Not So Sweet Candyland

XXVIII: Bubblegum City II

"Damn, Chase. How'd you even get the best room in all of Bubblegum City? Even you must be impressed with how you did it."

"I horribly sang a song and the guy said that I had potential."

"You're lucky, because you know what? I accidentally broke a potted plant while pretending to be Jackie Chan in a dance and now, I'm banned from being 300 inches near a potted plant, because I endanger the potted plants."

"What did you even do to the potted plants?"

"I just kicked one. One!"

Chase sipped his warm tea in the bed.

"I beg to think differently."

The master suite was made for a couple. The sky high suite, the massive double king sized bed, flower petals, constant room service, and a bottle of sweetened champagne.

"They really think that we're a newlywed couple with all of this fine stuff. Man, I'm so spoiled." Berry was in the sheets, all cold inside.

"You're cold?" Chase asked with his tea.

"You're able to drink tea at this time of night?"

"Why not?"

"Tea would keep me awake at night, I don't think I'd survive an all nighter trying to be quiet."

"I'm a heavy sleeper."

"Oh, are you sure about that?"

"Why not?"

Berry slipped out from under her covers and slid like a snake to Chase, she grabbed his arm and snickered.

"You're suddenly feeling a little playful?"

"No, I just have a lot of energy tonight. Like, I want to jump off that balcony and run across town like a thief would or who knows? Maybe cause some mischief with you tonight."

"You mean like playing an intense game of hide and go seek or something like that?" Chase said sarcastically.

"Way to kill the night. When I said, let's make mischief tonight, I did not mean sex, I meant, live life like rebellious teenagers and give the candisons of the city a wild time. Maybe crash a party or two. Who knows? I'm ready for whatever adventure comes my way and to be honest, I like going on adventures and doing risky things when somebody is with me. I just feel more confident and comfortable when somebody else is there right by my side."

"You seem like the type to scare people away on first glance."

Berry rolled her eyes and got out of bed.

"It's not my fault that all of the people here are sensitive snowflakes. They also are stupid in the head, so I don't know actually. But, it's whatever. We all know who is going to win in an argument and in a thumb wrestle: me."

She opened the slide door and went on the balcony.

"Want to join me?" She asked.

"Sure, I guess." Chase put his coffee cup down and went outside with Berry.

When he came outside, Berry slipped off her rope and jumped from the balcony.

"Berry, what the fuck are you doing?"

"Going on an adventure. The night is young!" She landed on her feet and started to Dash through the streets.

"Oh my fucking god. This late?" Chase went back through the hotel room, took off his robe, took the stairs down and ran onto the streets to find Berry.

They met in front of a skyscraper and that's when somebody emerged from Berry's back and attempted to stab her, but Berry pushed back and took the guys knife and stabbed him back.

"Spy." She whispered.

"Wait, is this the...."

"Spy headquarters."

"This place is? But, it's in the public and in the middle of a big city?"

"No time to talk. These spies stole something valuable from my mother, and I'm going to get it back."

"What did they steal?"

"Her 4 million dollar ring gifted to her by the king. She was going to sell it, but she got kidnapped by some spies, and they took the ring."

"How will you get in there? And, do you want me to come with you?"

"No, I got this. You should head back and get some sleep. We have an adventure to continue, you know."

"But what about you?"

"What about me? Don't worry about me. This is nothing, believe me."

She ran into the building and Chase walked back to the hotel.

In the room, Chase was eating dark chocolate when there was a loud thud on the window. Chase ignored it and thought that maybe a bird flew accidentally.

Nope. It happened again.

Along with a few voices.

"Somebody is definitely up there."

"Is it the king? Is he staying in the city?"

"Who could it be?"

"I don't know, but somebody who is sure as hell important."

SMASH!

3 spies broke through a tiny window and saw Chase, one was holding a gun.

"I've never seen your face before, pretty boy. What are you doing in a place like this?"

The man with the gun was walking closer to Chase.

Chase raised his arms up, but didn't say a word.

"Too scared to speak? Ok, fine then, which Princess are you here with? Berry? Or is Taffy having a love affair? There is no way that an average dude like you would be in a place like this."

"I don't even know what you all are talking about. They just gave me this room because they had no space. You have to believe me."

"Do you even know who we are?"

"No."

"We're S.P.I.E.S, or spies as others like to call."

"Don't give him the explanation, just shoot." One of the other men said.

And another one threw a bomb on the ground.

"Just shoot so we can kill him and the bomb will remove all of the evidence."

The room started to fill with a smoke like mist. Chase ran and grabbed his and Berry's bags and jumped out of the window. He flew and soon fell downwards. A force of magic gently brought him down. It was Berry.

"Berry?"

"Hurry up! This place is about to go kapow! Give me my stuff and let's get the hell out of here!"

Berry grabbed Chase's hand and they started to run out of the city.

BOOM!

The hotel collapsed.
