"Cry for help"
...
Princess Bubblegum was sleeping rather restless in her comfortable and big king sized bed. She was dreaming of science and maths, complicated stuff as usual. Turning from one side to the other, trying to find the best position for a comfy night rest. After a while two other guys came into Peebles dream, her two sons the Lemon Twins. Its long ago since she dreamt of those two.
The last time she did was right before the ruckus with the life formula happened. It was like a bad forewarning for her. This time was the same.
Both Lemongrab were pretty small in her dream, the older one constantly harassing the younger one, beating him up and barking orders to him. Bubblegum stand there, watching them, trying to interfere. There she recognized that something was horrible wrong with the younger Earls look. He only had half of his head and his lower body was totally gone, instead of it there was a saucer like thing which hovered above the ground, having his upper body in. Lemongrab looked very thin and fragile there, the totally opposite to his brother who was morbidly obese and had a hard time to reach his brother. She tried to protect the weaker one but snapped out of her dream out of sudden.
Princess Bubblegum shrieked and sat up in her bed, panting and sweating. She looked around herself and sighed. Was it one of her forecast dreams again? The princess shaked her head, trying to get the picture out of her head, trying to go back to sleep.
As she wanted to turn herself around in the bed, a tapping she heard on her window. Still sleepy she stood up and walked to the window which she opened with a swift hand movement.
"Mmmhhh mother!"
"Lemongrab? What in the name of our glob has happened to you?" Bubblegum shrieked again, putting her hand in front of her mouth out of shock to see her son in front of the window. He did look exactly like in her dream, thin and starved out with only half of his face.
"Hnnnn i.. help me... mother..p..please." he whispered barely able to do so. His one eye he still had was swollen and bruised, scratch marks on his arms and neck.
"Of course i'll help you silly...come in!" she said softly, pointing inside the room. Lemongrab sniffed and tears start to dwell up in his eye. He lunged forwards to Bubblegum and hugged her desperately, crying out his eyes(his remaining one)...
"Shhh its okay...its all okay now...shhhh calm down..." the princess said, stroking the head of her youngest son tenderly, trying to sooth him as good as possible.
"*gross sobbing* its...all his fault *sniff* he...he...nhhhhhhhhhhh" he tried to speak properly but it only came out as unintelligent bubbling.
"He..destroyed Lemonsweets and then...and then..HE...HE...HE.. ATE ME because he thought it was my FAUUUUUUUUULT *sob*"
This went on for good 10 minutes until Lemongrab had calmed down a bit, still sniffing, trying to dry his eye in despair. Bubblegum had him in her lap, rocking him(which was a bit hard because of the hover thingy he was in) constantly sweet talk to him.
"Do you feel better now?" she asked, concern laid in her voice. Her son barely nodded, snot dripping down his nose.
"And now i want to know what exactly happened after you two played with Lemonsweets, okay?"
"After Lemonsweets was broken, Lemongrab hauled to me, starting to devouring me fully! He tried to swallow me down*sniff* but was not able to do so because of my height...then he bite me in the head, ripping of half of it...as you can see the same he did with my legs..." he pointed to his head and his legs.
"Brother was very mad at me and started to insult me, saying that you love me more then him and that it would be not fair... He forbid me to eat anything and throw me in the dungeon. Out of anger he started to eat so much that soon his body structure was going on more and more. His mind also changed...it was like he was another lemon i don't knew..." he shaked his head slightly, still sobbing. "After this he beated me and started to take over the control completely. Before we had done it even, half and half. But now its like he is the only one who has something to say in Castle Lemongrab...UNACCEPTABLE!" shrieking until his voice was hoarse he clenched his fists to bumps, this showed how fragile he really was.
Then barely visible to hear he whispered...
"I want my brother back..." he ended, letting his head sink in Bubblegums shoulders. He had closed his eye, still red from tears, hiccuping from time to time.
"So my dream was true again" she said, sadly looking on the ground, thinking of a way to solve this problem. She was the mother of both, so responsible for their deeds as well actions. The princess had to talk to her older son, bringing him back to his old self. Bubblegum however was curious how he must look now. She decided to go to Castle Lemongrab in the morning, asking Finn to escorting her, just in case.
"I...have to go back now..." the second Earl whispered, lifting up his head, starting to hovering again. "He will be mad if he know that i left the castle without his permission..." sheepishly he rubbed his thin arm, looking on the ground.
"I will visit you both tomorrow and there i will try to talk to him, i promise you i do my best to help you!" Bubblegum said, now smiling. She hugged her son tightly, kissing him on his forehead. For the first time since long ago Lemongrab started to smile, hugging his mother back.
"Thank you..."
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN OURHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU?"
Lemongrabs whole body began to shake in fear.
"He found out...I HAVE TO GO UGHNnnnnnnnnn" he said with his eyes wide open, dashing out of the window, leaving behind a very worried Bubblegum.
"This is urgent...i hope he will stay through this over the night..." needless to say that the night was over for Bubblegum after this moment. She sat down on her desk, rubbing her temples, trying to find a solution for the upcoming problems.
"If things get worse...*she paused* i have to re-build him, refreshing his whole body and mind...and this will be not that easy...*sigh*"
She called for Pep-butler in order to prepare the royal ride for tomorrow to Castle Lemongrab. Due to the accident with Lemonjon a while back, the castle was in walking distance to the Candy Kingdom, which made this whole thing easier.
Finn was informed too, Bubblegum phoned him out of his bed. The boy of course didn't denied and promised to go with her to Castle Lemongrab tomorrow.
"I have a bad feeling about all this stuff..." she muttered to herself, preparing everything for tomorrow.
She would need a lot of patience and stamina to go through this ordeal. But it was in favour of the peace between the twins and Bubblegums own peace...
"Don't you worry, Mother will fix this for you!" she said to herself, mentally cracking her knuckles.
...
Castle Lemongrab:
The younger earl was beaten badly. He laid on the ground, breathing heavily, tears were back.
"I...i..." he tried to say something but was harshly interrupted by his twin who put his feet on his younger brothers head, squeezing it in the process which lead in squirt out some of Lemongrabs vital juices.
"I toooold you to stay in the castle brrrrrrrrotherrrrrrrrrrr! Hnnnnnnnnnnghhhhhhhhhhh DUNGEON FOR YOU! THE REST OF THE NIGHT! NO FOOD, NO WATER!" he screamed like a madman, making his brother shaking in fear. He slapped him again, this time harder as before.
"Yooooooooooouuuuuuuuu have to obey me servile!" Lemongrab the first stomped on the ground, making the walls shuttering in panic.
"S...servile?" the second earl spat out a lot of vital juices from his head, making his vision blurry. "i...am servile f...for you?" he coughed, barely able to open his eye.
"I ask the questions heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere mnnnnnnnhhhhhhhhhh. Answer me! WHERE WERE YOU? I forbid you to leave the Castle!"
"J...just catching f...fresh aiiir bro...ther...*cough*" he tried to excuse himself, his brother was not allowed to know that he visited their mother...he could see this as treachery...
"C...an i go to my room? I..i..am tired...please?" Lemongrab whispered, barely audible, trying to get up.
"I SAID DUNGEON!" the older Lemongrab screamed, pulling up his younger brother harshly, carrying him down to the dungeons...Plop-Top, one of the Lemon children was watching the scene, a sad look on his green face. He knew that he wasn't allow to interfere here because else the Earl, his father would punish him badly. He covered his beady eyes and walked away sadly.
Lemongrab threw his brother in the dungeons, shutting of the lights. Sobbing on the ground the second Earl laid there, tears streaming down his face again.
"Mother..." he whispered as he cried himself to sleep, in hope for Princess Bubblegum to save him and the others...
