Caine: (Echoing) Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus!

Garfield: Pomni.

Caine: Pomni.

Ragatha: Pomni.

Orson: Pomni.

Ragatha: Pomni...

Caine: Pomni!

Ragatha: Pomni!

Jax: Pomni.

Caine: Pomni!

Roy: Pomni!

Wade: Pomni!

Booker: Pomni!

Sheldon: Pomni!

Cat: Pomni!

Dog: Pomni!

Norbert: Pomni!

Daggett: Pomni!

Odie: (Barking)

(As the voices continue echoing, Pomni wakes up. Not in her room, but in front of the stage in the main area of the circus. She looks around. She's alone.)

Pomni: Hello?

(No response. She takes a few steps forward, then stops. She has the feeling something may not be right... And she's proven correct when she looks down to see her left arm... It's abstracted.)

Pomni: (Screams) No! No! No! C-Caine! Somebody, help me! Please!

(She runs forward, but doesn't make it farther enough when the room suddenly shifts sideways. In the windows behind her, pairs of eyes are shown peeking in when Pomni falls down a large hole in the floor leading into the cellar.)

Pomni: No! No!

(She looks up. Silhouettes of Caine, Ragatha, and Jax are above her.)

Caine: (laughs) Looks like our new friend's already abstracted.

Ragatha: (Chuckles) Well, I guess we're not all cut out for it.

Jax: I don't even remember her name, honestly.

(The hole slowly closes as it dawns on Pomni that no one will rescue her from her murky, starless prison.)

(Eyes appears from the dark...)

(...And Pomni wakes up in her room, her doorbell ringing having woken her up. She frantically gets out of her bed so quickly she bounces to the ceiling and back down.)

Ragatha: Hey, Pomni. How'd you sleep? (No response.) Are you still sleeping? I'll let you get back to it, if you are.

(Pomni opens her door and peeks out.)

Ragatha: There she is! Hope you're doin' all right. I know yesterday was a bit of a doozy.

Pomni: "A doozy"...

Ragatha: Oh, and don't worry about the whole "Garfield's idea about the exit" thing. It's perfectly understandable that he's protecting you, and there's no hard feelings. (Laughs) Yer all good.

Pomni: ...Huh?

Ragatha: ...Uh, well, let's forget about all that. (Pomni exits her room.) Caine's got a new adventure today, and judging by what he's been teasing, it seems like it's gonna be a fun one.

Caine: Today's adventure is... CANDY CARRIER CHAOS! That's right! The Candy Canyon Kingdom's been robbed of their most valuable resource: Maple syrup! It's up to you to bring the rotten bandits who stole it to sweet, buttery justice!

Bubble: An entire kingdom of candy? Sounds sticky.

Caine: Very sticky, indeed.

Bubble: Sounds [BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]

Caine: (Rightfully disgusted) ...Bubble, you can't say that.

Zooble: Mmmmmmmmmmm, nope. (Zooble begins to walk off.)

Caine: Zooble, wait! I-I'm testing out a new AI in this one! It should be 57 times more immersive!

Jax: Ooh, a new AI. You don't want to mess with the new AI, Zoobie?

Zooble: Uh, yeah, no. (Zooble continues walking off.)

Orson: Whoa, sounds fun. 

Ragatha: Yeah, What do you think, guys?

Garfield: Well I found this adventure look tasty! And maple syrup is my love language.

Daggett: Yeah, I love that.

Pomni: So, our entire existence here... is just LARPing?

Ragatha: W-Well, uh -

Caine: Why are you all just standing there?! The- The Canyon- C-Canyon Candy Kingdom needs you now!

(He shoves Garfield, Odie, Kinger, Orson, Roy, Wade, Booker, Sheldon, Cat, Dog, Norbert, and Daggett, Gangle, Ragatha, Jax, and Pomni sans Zooble into the portal as it closes. Caine pulls out a pipe that makes bubbles come out.)

Caine: (Offering Bubble the pipe) Hmm?

Bubble: Nah, thanks. I'm trying to quit.

(The drawbridge lowers as the gang make their way by carriage into the kingdom. Crowds cheer as their heroes depart from their royal ride and make their way to the castle.)

Garfield: What a crowd.

Ragatha: Wow, Kinger, check out this castle. It's amazing!

Kinger: They've even got little candy bugs here. 

Roy: Yeah, It's so beautiful.

Gangle: Yeah, this place is great!

Candy Citizen: (Knocks Gangle over, making her drop and break her comedy mask) LOOK!!! It's the princess!!

Garfield: HEY, WATCH IT BUDDY!

Odie: (Growls at the Candy Citizen)

Candy Citizen: Oh... (To Gangle) Sorry about that.

Gangle: It's alright...

(The princess emerges outside.)

Princess Loo: Ah, you must be the brave knights sent to us by God (Caine) to help us with our recent catastrophe.

Ragatha: That's us, ma'am. Your kingdom's awesome, by the way. Love the vibe.

Princess Loo: (Giggles) I like you already.

Dog: Look, Pomni. We're already friends with the princess.

Pomni: (Deadpan) I'm not a child. You don't have to hype me up.

Princess Loo: I assume you've been informed of your mission. The bandits that robbed us used a modded syrup tanker, so we figured the best way to go head-to-head with them is to give you a war rig of your own.

(A huge tanker arrives, running over a citizen.)

Jax: Ooh, violence.

Pomni: What time period is this supposed to be, again?

Princess Loo: Here's the key back into the kingdom for when you've secured the goods. (She hands Ragatha the key.) I trust you not to let it fall into the wrong hands?

Ragatha: You can count on me, Your Highness.

Princess Loo: Oh, please. Call me Loo.

Ragatha: (Chuckles) Will do, Loo.

Jax: I call shotgun.

(Jax runs to the driver's seat and honks the horn, which produces a distorted warble.)

Jax: Oh, God, is that the horn? Ugh, that sucks. Gangle, you drive.

(He pulls Gangle into the driver's seat and scoots over to the passenger's seat. Garfield, Odie, Orson, Roy, Wade, Booker, Sheldon, Cat, Dog, Norbert, and Daggett, Pomni, Ragatha, and Kinger enter into the back.)

Princess Loo: Farewell, good knights! I have every faith in you!

(The tanker departs to capture the bandits as the crowd cheers and the drawbridge raises back up.)

Chad: D'you think your mum's gonna pull through if we get all this back to the village?

Max: I'm sure she will. This much syrup would save hundreds of people.

Gummigoo: We won't know for sure until we get back to the village. She's a fighter, though. She taught me everything I know.

(He continues his lookout. He spots our heroes approaching in their tanker.)

Gummigoo: Oy! Don't get too comfy, lads. Looks like they've sent someone after us.

(The bandits hop aboard their tanker and drive off.)

(Meanwhile, with our heroes...)

Jax: All right, Gangle, when we catch up to 'em, I'll jump over, crawl inside, and shoot 'em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable.

Gangle: I feel like that violates some kind of convention.

Jax: You're violating my ears with your clap-back. Get driving, driver!

Ragatha: So, Pomni, I'm sure there's some way you could help out here. Maybe when we catch up to them, we could-

Jax: We could be assertive. Hey Garfield, Cat, Dog! There's the lasagna, fish, and bone on the other truck!

Garfield, Cat, and Dog: Really? (Goes up to the top of the tanker) Where?

(Jax then kick Garfield's bottom before Jax kicks Cat and Dog's body, causing Garfield Cat and Dog to fling out of the tanker's roof)

Pomni, and Ragatha: Jax!

Odie: (Growls at Jax)

https://youtu.be/AoCOGT0ft7o

(Garfield, Cat, and Dog are now wedged between the two tankers. They both split apart as Dog grabs Garfield's legs while Cat and Dog's body stretch out.)

Jax: Ah, that's perfect! Just hold that pose; I gotta get something.

Garfield and Cat: Jax, you %$!# hole!!!

Jax: You know, I swear there was some kind of bazooka back here, but... (Scoffs) I'm having such trouble finding it.

Kinger: Guys, take this!

(He tosses a life preserver. It hits Cat on the head.)

Cat: Ow!

Jax: (With a bazooka in hand) Here it is! All right, guys, you just stay like that, and I'll cross over you.

Garfield and Cat: Are you kidding me?!

(Cat's finger slips and he, Dog, and Garfield gets sent flying to the roof of the bandits' tanker.)

Jax: Nice going, Cat. Now I have no bridge.

Max: (Pops up) Ah-hah! Gotcha! (He tries to reach for them, but...) Me arms aren't long enou- (He gets hit by a projectile from Jax's bazooka.) Whoa!

(He grabs onto the life preserver that's on the back of the tanker. He also narrowly avoids smacking into a large rock by striking a pose)

Gummigoo: This lot's trouble. (He looks out the window.) Let's see how their rig does on those rocks around there.

Chad: Me arms aren't short enough to shift the gear!

(Gummigoo shifts the gear to "Rocky Road". Their tanker raises it's suspension and heads down the titular rocky road as Max strikes multiple poses to avoid the rocks.)

Jax: Ooh, now we're cookin'! Hey! Ribbons! Up and at 'em!

Gangle: I don't think we-

Jax: Aren't you supposed to be submissive and agreeable? Move it!

(Gangle drives down the rocky road. Gummigoo looks out the window.)

Gummigoo: Oh, these fellas just don't know when to quit, do they? (He looks back more to see Max striking some more poses.) Hey! Quit muckin' about and get back up here!

Max: Oh, yeah. Right.

Ragatha: (Groans) Everyone all right?

Kinger: (He has five knifes sticking out all over his head.) Can you repeat the question? I couldn't hear you over the knives.

Pomni: (She has five knifes sticking out all over her head too.) What?

Norbert: (He has a knife on his tail) I think I felt fine. 

Jax: Hey, Gangle. You should ram into 'em.

Gangle: What?

Ragatha: You should NOT ram them! Garfield, Cat and Dog are still on board!

Pomni: Yeah, you can't do this!

Orson: Don't listen to Jax, Gangle!

Odie: (Barking at Jax)

(Jax kicks Orson, causing Odie, Pomni, and Ragatha fall.)

Jax: Do it. It'll be epic.

Ragatha: Why are there so many knives back here?!

Jax: (Threateningly) Do it, or I'll tell Ragatha about the figurine thing.

(Gangle laughs nervously as she rams into the bandits' tanker.)

Garfield: Are you guys trying to %$!# kill us?!

Pomni: (Popped up on the truck) No, Jax was black mailing Gangle!

Cat: Really?!

Gummigoo: These guys are whack jobs! Let's give them some of this.

(He pulls a lever as spikes emerge outside the tanker, Garfield narrowly avoiding one.)

Jax: Aww, no more ramming? Guess I HAVE to tell Ragatha about the thing now.

Gangle: What?!

Garfield: Oh, I see!

Max: (Reaches the roof) Oh. You three still up here.

Garfield, Cat, and Dog: Guuuuuuys?

Kinger: Guys, take this!

(He tosses an anchor. It misses and heads off a cliff... And apparently, the rope it's attached to doesn't appear to be loose.)

Pomni: ...Uh, hey, Kinger, is that rope attached to anything?

Kinger: Uhhhh... I don't know. Let me check.

(He and Pomni both get that answer in the form of their tanker ramming into the bandits' one. A spike pierces through Ragatha's chest, Orson, Roy, Wade, Booker, Sheldon, Norbert, Daggett, Pomni, and Odie doges the spikes. Gummigoo takes the wheel and steers their tanker and the heroes' in the opposite direction. The heroes' tanker falls off a cliff.)

Gangle: W-W-What? Wha?

Jax: I blame YOU for this.

(And SPLOOSH! They land in a fudge river below.)

(Stop the music)

(Meanwhile, the bandits' tanker, with Garfield, Cat, and Dog are still on the roof, smack into a cliff... Or more precisely, smack into a cliff start glitching out.)

Garfield:

Cat and Dog:

Gummigoo:

(Garfield, Cat, Dog and Gummigoo fall off as the tanker is propelled into the air.)

(A screaming Gummigoo falls downward. The farther down he goes, the darker the area around him gets. He collides with a few floating blue teapots until he finally lands.)

(Picking himself up, he checks his surroundings. This new area is a darkened corridor with a blue and black floor and wall.)

Gummigoo: Lads?

(Nothing. He proceeds to walk forward.)

Gummigoo: (His voice begins shaking.) Hello? Anyone?

(After a moment, he reaches a larger room. This one housing lifeless NPCs, some of which are slightly T-posing. One of those T-posing NPCs is of himself.)

( Creeped out, he slowly steps forward to examine his T-posing self. Then, he steps back, more disturbed. He stands there silently staring at his T-posing self face to face, eye to eye, his worry reaching astronomical heights and his mind racing with never-ending questions.)

(Nearby, Garfield, Cat, and Dog fall to the ground.)

Garfield: (Wearily picking himself up) Uhhh... Huh?

Gummigoo: Where are we? W-What's all this?

Garfield: I-I don't know.

Cat: We're somewhere under the map, I think.

Gummigoo: "Map"? Why aren't you three or any of your crew up here?

Garfield: I-I'm not sure.

Dog: Because we're not, uh, NPCs?

Gummigoo: "NPCs"? What are you on about? ...What are you people? (He looks back at the NPCs, then down at his hands.) ...What am I? (He looks back up at the NPCs.) Where's Mum?

Garfield: You have a mom?

Gummigoo: Shouldn't she be here with everyone else? (His voice shakes.) I can't even remember her face. Did she ever have a face? Was anything ever real?

Garfield: Okay, okay, look, look, look, don't think about that.

Cat: Yeah, I think there... must be a way to launch ourselves back up.

Dog: Yeah, right?

(Garfield, Cat, and Dog takes a few steps forward as Gummigoo begins hyperventilating.)

Gummigoo: I want you three to tell me exactly what I am.

(Dead silence fills the air.)
