We were all completely oblivious as to what was about to happen. Bubblegum and I played with the kids, happy as could be. The boys weren’t used to Mac being gone so long, but we kept them distracted enough where they didn’t seem to mind after a while. But after so long of waiting, they started to ask where he was. And so did I…

Bubblegum: It’s okay little guy, your dad’s just going to work. He’s gotta go save the world from bad guys. He’ll be back soon!

Jelly: Promish?

Bubblegum: Promise!

That’s what I thought too. It was Macaron’s first day back at work. Ever since Jam was born he’d been doing simple desk work, after he had Jelly, Mac decided he wanted to go back to his dream. The one he had been on since before I even moved here. I was happy for him of course. I just wish… well I did say this wasn’t always going to be a happy story.

It seemed to end well. When they came back inside it was still morose, but Bubblegum agreed to stay for a while. He said he wouldn’t promise it would last but he would try. I asked him again if he could explain what was really going on, but he said there wouldn’t ever be a good time to tell me. But at least he’s back in my life again, and now Jam can get to know his uncle.

Bubblegum: No Mac I wouldn’t, because brothers don’t do that! Sometimes I just… can’t you see why I left?

Macaron: Gum… don’t cry… look I’m sorry. It was really stupid of me. I was so excited about getting that job, I thought I was invincible. Just… please don’t take it out on Teri. He really wants you to be a part of Jam’s life. Hate me if you want, just not him.
