Author's note: SPOILER ALERT! This is from the episode released TOMORROW from season 5. How did I start a fic before the episode was even released? Well, it's because I'm a psychic and I'm mad boss…naw, I'm just kidding- it was leaked. Anyways, don't read this if you haven't seen the episode yet.
Now, on to the story: Jake is about to make his wish, but the results turn out a little differently than in the episode…
Jake thought for a few seconds about what to wish for, but was drawing a complete blank. He was just a chubby lil' dog! How could he come up with one wish that would return things to how they should be and save the entire universe?
He shoved the thought out of his mind quickly. It was too much pressure. He looked up at Prismo. He seemed like a chill dude. Also, Jake was mad hungry, so maybe he could kill two birds with one stone with his wish.
"I wish for...a sandwich!" Jake shouted excitedly as he threw his hands up.
"A sandwich? Really?" asked Prismo in an exasperated tone.
"Yeah, maybe on ciabatta-"
"You realize that your best friend is possessed, stuck in an apocalypse, and has a donkey as his closest friend, right?"
"Yeah, man, but Finn will pull through anything! Now, on with the sandwich. Chop, chop!"
A sandwich suddenly popped up in Jake's hands. It looked amazing! It was all gooey with fresh, melted mozzarella cheese and fat, red slices of tomato and basil stuck out of it, and it smelled like it had some garlic thrown up in there, too.
"Thanks, man, this sandwich looks rad!"
"Hey, baby, how's it hanging?" came a sultry sounding female voice from the door.
Jake turned and jumped at the sight of the other-worldly bird before him, "Whoa, the Cosmic Owl?"
"Naw, man. This is the Cosmic Owl's sister!" Prismo smirked and made a come-hither motion with his finger, "Come here, baby and sit your fine tail feathers next to me!"
The bird flapped over next to Prismo and sneered at Jake, "What's a mortal doing here? I thought this was date night?"
"Sorry, babe, he just finished making his wish. I swear, mortals seem to be getting stupider as the millennia pass." Prismo then turned to Jake, "Alright, time for you to go. Nobody wants a third wheel."
Jake looked down at his body disappearing and shouted in a panicked voice, "Wait, man! This wasn't how the plan was supposed to go!"
Jake suddenly stopped vanishing as the all-powerful being eyed him suspiciously and said, "What plan?"
"My plan to get you to help me out with a wish!"
"What? I gave you your sandwich dingus!"
"Well, ok, before Lady-Owl got here you seemed kind of lonely and pathetic, but basically a nice guy. So, I thought if I could get you to feel sorry for me by making a stupid wish, then I could get you to like me and you'd give me a hint on what I could wish for to save everyone! Then, I dunno, as a side note maybe you would feed me and we could be friends."
"You think I'm desperate enough to be friends with a mere mortal?! Your entire life is not even a second from my perspective! Besides, would a lonely and pathetic guy have this fine fowl as a girlfriend?" Prismo looked over at the owl suggestively and she ruffled her feathers with embarrassment.
"Alright, I'm sorry, man! Just, please let me think of a better wish." Jake collapsed on his knees and gave Prismo the ultimate puppy dog eyes.
Now, no one will ever know this, but Prismo actually did feel really sorry for Jake. He wanted to help him, but not in front of his sexy owlette date. She liked jerks, so he had to be a jerk in front of her. It was kind of against his principles, but he hadn't gotten any action since the Ice Age, so his principles were a lower priority than they used to be.
"Nope. One wish, dude. And just for your attitude, I'm taking the basil off your sandwich."
With a wave of Prismo's hand, Jake disappeared while screaming "NOOOOOO!" He was unsure if it was about the basil or his friend.
Jake was thrown onto the ground. Was he back in Ooo? Would Princess Bubblegum come running up to him telling him some sciency way to rescue Finn? Just from breathing before he opened his eyes, he could tell it wouldn't be that easy. The thick, hot air burned his lungs as he breathed in. The air outside the candy kingdom always smelled like fresh-baked sugar cookies. He was too afraid to look at the world he'd entered, and ate the sandwich with a quick, nervous energy.
"Man, this isn't that good without the basil," he muttered.
Finally, when he had licked every crumb off his paws, Jake slowly opened his eyes to the sky darkened with nuclear poison. This world was real now. Anything he remembered of Finn and his life in Ooo never even happened.
Just a random note: Jake's sandwich in this mini-chapter is the exact sandwich I just had for lunch! That's right- be jealous. For my returning readers who might wonder why I've been doing so many one shots lately, I do intend this one to be multi-chapter, so stick around! You can PM me ideas for it, or go on my forum and respond to questions and thoughts I had about the episode on there.
