[Zummi presents Chummi with a letter]
Chummi, when you arrive in New Gumbrea, would you please give this to the Great Gummis?
It is a message telling the Gummis that we still are here in Gummi Glen.
But it has been so long. We want them to come back!
Chummi tears up letter
Ha! I can do better than that! Instead of bringing the Gummis to you, I will take you with me!
My goodness! We will finally be able to meet all our Gummi cousins!
Goodbye sink. Goodbye cutting board.
[Hammering sounds are heard in pantry. Gummis see Gruffi fixing the floor]
Gruffi? What in the world are you doing?
I do not want other Gummis who come here next to think we did not take good care of this place.
But we are leaving in several hours!
That does not matter. It is my job and I am not leaving until it is completed.
Now that you mention it, who will harvest the Gummiberry bushes?
Um, I really should return Calla's scarf.
Come to think of it, how will we make sure that the weeds do not gain a foothold in the warren?
Gummis! Do you know what we are really saying? We do not want to go to New Gumbrea!
Yes, but what will we tell Chummi?
[Chummi overheard everything and enters kitchen]
You do not have to. I made the offer to you, not vice versa.
You see Chummi, our ancestors' responsibility was to take care of this place until the Gummis could return. Now we have inherited this duty.
It is an important mission Gruffi, and I understand.
What?! You are all backing out? No fair!
I want to leave! I just have to be a knight and over there is the only place to do it!
Not by yourself, kid. It is too dangerous.
It may not be my place to say anything, but I can understand what Cubbi is going through. Like him, I was the youngest Gummi in my warren. And when I grew up, it also made me the last Gummi. That is not much of a future.
[Chummi's airship is repaired and is launched. Two ogres are on guard duty at Duke Igthorn's camp and spot the airship]
O1Ogre #1
Ooh look. Another moon rising.
O2Ogre #2
That is no moon. Wake Duke Igthorn!
See Cubbi, the Atlantic Ocean is on the horizon.
Wow Chummi, do you really think we will make it across?
Ha! After what we have been through, there is nothing us two adventurers cannot handle.
[Cubbi opens package that Gruffi intended as a birthday gift but instead used as a bon voyage present. It is a plaque similar to the ones in his bedroom of the Gummi knights, showing Cubbi in a knight's helmet]
[Tears well in Cubbi's eyes]
[talking to himself] Aw, Gruffi.
Is something wrong, shipmate?
[Cubbi furtively wipes away tears]
No, just the wind in my eyes.
[depressed] Chummi, I cannot go with you to New Gumbrea.
Well, I am disappointed. But if I still had a family like yours, I would have never left my warren either. Grab your luggage, swabbie!
[Cubbi jumps off airship as it approaches a bluff overlooking the sea]
[cheerful] Goodbye Chummi! Safe journey!
[As Cubbi waves, Chummi realizes he is holding the Sir Cubbi plaque]
[yelling] Show it to the Great Gummis! Tell them about us!
[yelling] I will! I promise!
[Commissioning ceremony. Zummi has enchanted trumpets, drums and flags to play ruffles and flourishes. Cubbi gets rewarded by Princess Calla for rescuing her]
As Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Dunwyn, it is my royal duty to reward those who have done outstanding deeds. Cubbi Gummi, you have proven yourself honorable, brave, and gentle. By the power vested in me, I hereby dub thee the Unseen Defender of Dunwyn. Rise, Sir Cubbi.
