The Witch's Garden
A frog was carrying a crown walking. Finn, Jake, and Roxy were walking behind the frog following it.
"Dude...how long are we gonna follow this frog?" Jake asked
"I just wanna see 'im put on that crown," Finn said
The frog walks up to a gate and through the bars.
"Wooow!" Finn and Jake said approaching the gate.
"Hmm a locked gate of unexplored land, Roxy is now interested," Roxy said
"It looks cool in there!" Jake said
"Too bad we don't have the key to this," Finn said
"What're you talkin' about? I got two keys right here!" Jake said pointing at his legs.
Finn laughs and gets on Jake's back. Jake waits for Roy to climb on but she shakes her head.
"Nah man you go. I wanna try something out I've been working on," Roxy said
Jake stretches over the wall and goes into the garden.
Roxy smiled and summons her hammer, "Here I go." She grabs onto the pole of the hammer, "Pole extended!"
The pole of the hammer shoots up growing with Roxy on the top of it. Once she reaches the top of the gate she hops over retracting the hammer's pole She lands on the other side of the gate right next to Finn and Jake.
"Cool," Finn said
"Thanks, man. I hope I can put it into battle soon," Roxy said
The three start look around their surroundings walking around the garden.
"Wow! Look at this place!" Jake said
"Jake. Are these donuts?" Finn said pointing to a bush.
"They look like donuts," Jake said
"They definitely look like donuts to me," Roxy said
"But maybe they're poisonous donuts!" Finn said.
Jake starts sniffing the donuts.
"Yeah! Sniff it, Jake! Suck up those toxins!" Finn said
"Wait a second...I don't know what poison smells like," Jake said
"Well do the donuts smell good or bad?" Roxy asked
"Hey!" A shrill voice called out.
The three turned around to see a tall witch who was hunched over in a U shape walking on a cane.
She lifts up her cane and waves it at Finn, Roxy, and Jake, "Razzamafoo!"
There's a poof and the witch switched places with the three.
"Hey!" Jake said
"What gives?!" Finn said
"Was that necessary?" Roxy asked
"You ate one of my donuts!" The Witch yelled
"No, I didn't. I just sniffed it," Jake said
"RAAAAAGH! You're lying! The stink of magic dog lips is everywhere!" The Witch screamed out.
"Holy slug, lady! Calm down!" Finn said
"Do you not have an inside voice?" Roxy questioned
"My voice level is fine!" The Witch screamed
"Listen, Mrs. Witch," Jake said
"I never married!" The Witch yelled
"Well, I never ate your donuts," Jake said
"You...you're eating one right now!" The Witch said
"No, I'm not!" Jake said with a full mouth.
Roxy coughed, "Ehmmm Jake," She said pointing at his hand.
He looks down and sees a donut in his hand, "Whoa-hoa! Hm...That's weird...I don't even remember grabbing this. My subconscious must be hungry, huh? Huh...whatever," He said finishing off the donut.
"MAGICUS NOMORICUS!" The Witch shouted
"Uh-oh," Jake said getting blasted by the witch.
"AAH!" Finn and Roxy shout.
"Dude, are you okay?" Finn asked
"Yeah...I think so. Just a little chilly," Jake looks down to see he has a man-boy body, "WHOA!"
"Ahahahahahehehe!" The Witch laughed
"What did she do to you?" Finn asked
"I stripped him of his magical powers!" The Witch said
"For stealing one of your billions of donuts?!" Finn said
"Yeah, it's not like I killed your husband or somethin'," Jake said as he started to mess with his man bosoms.
"I AM NOT MARRIED!" The Witch yelled
"The point is you overreacted," Finn said
"And what gives? I used to have like eight more of these things," Jake said still messing with his chest.
"Stop that," Roxy said smacking Jake's hands down, "It makes me uncomfortable."
"The only way I'll give back your powers is if you admit your error and say you're sorry and mean it!...'Cause I can tell the difference," The Witch said
"Well, you can forget it because you're the one who's wrong!" Jake turns to Finn and Roxy "...Right?"
"Total support, dude," Finn said
"You did kind of flip out," Roxy said
"RRRRAAAARRGH!" The Witch screamed out, she started to wave her cane, "Go-backicus-from-whence-you-came-icus!"
"Aw, now you're just makin' these up!" Finn said
With a poof, Finn, Roxy, and Jake disappear.
The three were now back at the Treehouse. Finn was pacing around while Jake was laid out on the couch. Roxy was sitting on the arm of the couch watching Finn pace.
"There's gotta be a way to get your powers back! Where'd they come from, anyway? Were you born with them? Or...did you have a freak industrial accident?!" Finn said
"Ha. That takes me back. Let me just...remember," Jake gets a thinking face on and rubs his head,"I see a memory. When I was just a pupster…" The more Jake thinks the more strained his face gets, "I'm rollin' around in a mud puddle, and I'm just... lovin's it. Oh, no! Whoo... Remembering is hard work."
"What happened next?!" Finn asked
"Oh. Um...I went into the mud, and...I guess I became a magic dog?" Jake said
"Hmmm," Roxy pondered raising an eyebrow, "Are you sure about that?"
"Pretty sure," Jake said
"Okay! Then our course is clear! We'll roll you in every mud puddle in Ooo until we find the one that'll restore your powers," Finn said
"That's nuts, man. You got any idea of how many mud puddles are in the land of Ooo? Four? Maybe even five?" Jake said
"Jake, come on! We've always been lucky, buddy! Maybe the first mud puddle we find will be the right one!" Finn said
"Nonsense...but I like it!" Jake said standing up.
"Then away! Hyuh! Whoo-hoo!" Finn said jumping out a window.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Jake said jumping out the window too.
Roxy runs over to the window just in time to see jake land flat on his face.
"Ohhh that's gonna hurt in the morning," Roxy said wincing.
"Oh, my gosh!" Finn said
Roxy jumps out the window and lands next to Jake on her feet as the dog picks himself up.
"I forgot that I don't have magic powers anymore. How do we search for the mud without my powers?" Jake questioned
"We run! Run like energetic little boys!" Finn said
"*COUGH COUGH*" Roxy said
"Or energetic little girls!" Finn said
"Thank you," Roxy said
Finn and Roxy run off fast.
"This whole time, I thought running was some sort of...leg magic," Jake said, he starts running too, well it's more like slowly jogging, "Huh... Look at me. I'm runnin'!" After only a few steps he starts to pant heavily and slow down, "Oh, no…" Jake stops moving out of breath, "Running...is...evil…"
Finn and Roxy run back to where Jake was.
"Come on, lazy bones!" Finn said
"It's too hard!" Jake said
"Nothing is too hard. It's all in the mind man," Roxy said pointing at her head.
Jake just lets out a huff and flops onto his back.
"I guess you could ride on my backpack," Finn said
Jake puts his arms up to Finn but makes no effort to get up, "I can't reach," Finn crouches down and Jake grabs on to Finn's neck, "You good, Finn?"
"Gahaugh, You're...strangling me...a little, is all," Finn said
After traveling for some time the three came across the River of Junk.
"Look there! Across the River of Junk! There's an ideal mud puddle," Finn said pointing over the river.
"I'll stretch into a boat!" Jake gets on all fours and tries to stretch but only just lets out a fart.
Roxy holds her nose and tries to fan away the farts, "Man that gas is beastly. What do you eat Jake?"
"I'm startin' to really miss that old magic of mine," Jake said
"We can swim this river easy!" Finn jumped into the river followed by Roxy.
"Wow, this actually smells better than Jake's poots," Roxy said
"Come on, Jake!" Finn said
Finn and Roxy start swimming across the river but Jake stays on shore. When they make it across the river they see Jake is still on the opposite side but he was now wearing a pink hat and talking to himself.
"Seriously?" Roxy said
"Jake! Stop talking to yourself! Cross over already!" Finn shouted over.
"Uh, I can't swim that river, dude. My subconscious says it's too hard. Check out this hat, though," Jake said pointing at his head.
"Grrrrrr! What's wrong with that guy?" Finn said, "'Then just wait for me there!" Finn shouted over
Finn dives back into the river. Roxy watches him swim around and gather various pieces of junk. Finn swims back over to the other side and begins building something.
Roxy observes Finn building with an annoyed look on his face.
"Oh, he made a catapult. That'll get Jake over," Roxy said
Finn pulls down the catapult and Jake gets in, without warning Finn lets go and sends Jake flying over the river and he lands in the mud puddle splashing Roxy.
"Mud-venture!" Jake said
"Did it work?!" Finn asked as he got back over.
"Oh, yeah! I can feel this workin'! In fact, you two should roll in the mud with me! We can all be magic!" Jake said
"YEAAAAH!" Finn said jumping into the mud.
Roxy just looks at them then shrugs her shoulder, "CANNONBALL!" She shouted out jumping into the mud.
The three roll around the mud laughing, but after a few minutes, their merriment stops.
"This isn't working at all," Finn said
"This isn't the right mud. I was just really hopin' this was over and done," Jake said
"*Sigh* Okay...Then let's just go find another mud puddle," Finn said standing up with Roxy.
"Actually...I'm feeling kinda chubby-tired. Can't we do this tomorrow?" Jake asked
Roxy just lets out an annoyed grunt before falling back into the mud making a mud angel.
"Agh! This is stupid! Just go back to the witch and apologize and get your powers back!" Finn said
"Never! I'd rather be powerless forever then apologize! I'm lazy but prideful," Jake said
"YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING, MAN!" Finn yelled knocking Jake's hat off, "First, you won't run, a-and now you keep-and...a-and no matter what, I ju-you...Roxy do something!"
"Can't too busy," Roxy said continuing to make her mud angel.
"Adventuring is too much hard work for a bro without his powers," Jake said
"But you are an adventurer," Finn said
"Nah, from now on, I'm just your regular old dog...Ironic given my current man-baby body," Jake said
Finn is about to say something else but the junk in the river start to shake catching their attention. They all look over to see something emerge from the river.
A large fish skeletal woman with long hair appears floating over the river.
"Behold the beautiful mermaid of the river," The River Mermaid said
"Now that puts a new meaning to beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Roxy said
"Which one of you mortals wants to mate with all this? Heh heh heh…" The River Mermaid said gesturing to her body.
"Oh, um...How do I say, "You're the grossest thing ever," without offending you?" Finn said
"RAAAAAARGH!" River Mermaid screamed
She starts to conjure a fireball.
"I'll scare her off! Ruff! Ruff Ruff!" Jake barked out.
River Mermaid blast them but they evade the attack.
"How do we beat power like that?!" Finn said
"Finn! I've got an idea!" Jake said
"What is it, buddy?" Finn asked panicking.
"Rub my belly! Yeah, I'm one of those kinda dogs," Jake said
Finn and Roxy growl angrily at Jake.
Finn turns back to the River Mermaid and charges at her, "YAAAAH!"
The River Mermaid shrieks and spits a black substance on Finn, knocking him out. The River Mermaid picks him up and carries him to her nest.
"Oh, Glob Finn!" Roxy said summoning her hammer. She runs at the River Mermaid but it shoots a fireball at her knocking her into the river of junk.
"Finn? Roxy?" Jake questioned, he looked up to see Finn being carried to the River Mermaid's nest, "Finn! Come on, Finn! You gotta save yourself!" He runs over to the tree where the nest is, "I'm just a dog! ROXY!" Jake called to the river but nothing happened, "Aw, man. Oh, geez...Okay. Then I'm back on the team!" He attempts to climb the tree, "I'll save you! Don't worry!" He only makes it a few inches before he slides down, "Hey, Finn...Can you help me to get up there?"
The eggs in the nest start to hatch.
"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!" The Hatchlings chanted
"If only I had my powers back!" Jake said
The Witch appears in a thought bubble, "The only way I'll give back your powers is if-"
"I know, I know! I have to apologize to that Witch," Jake said
Jake now had his powers back and was making his way back to rescue Finn. As he stretched over the river of junk Roxy's hand shot out of the river holding her hammer.
"Roxy!?" Jake said
He stretches his arm down and grabs Roxy's arm. He pulls her out and she gasps for air. She was covered in dirt, soot, and scratches, and she was wearing a steampunk like crown that had a silver octopus medallion on it.
"Whoa girl what happened to you?" Jake asked as he put Roxy on his back.
"Jake what year is it? There's a whole city under the river filled with junk river people. They were ruled by a tyrant skeleton octopus and I defeated him, now I am their queen," Roxy said looking into the distance.
"Oh, okay, then…..uh let's go save Finn," Jake said
"Very well," Roxy said
Finn was being surrounded by the Hatchlings.
"Remember to save the brain for dessert," The River Mermaid said
As the Hatchlings move towards Finn Jake appears over the nest.
"Honey, I'm back! How about a big kiss?" Jake said
He smashes his face into the River Mermaid's face knocking her back into the river.
"You guys are so cute! I could just maul you to death!" Jake said
The Hatchlings all jump out of the nest running away.
"Jake! I never should have doubted you!" Finn said
Roxy extends the pole of hammer to Finn, he grabs on and Roxy pulls him onto Jake's back.
"Well, I'm glad you learned your lesson: that in a crunch, there's nothin' I wouldn't do for ya," Jake said
"Ahhh, so is that how you got your powers back? You apologized to the witch?" Finn said
"Uh...No way! I must have found the right...mud puddle! Yeah...I don't remember. Heh…" Jake said
"Roxy where'd you get that crown?" Finn asked
"From the war," Roxy said
"Uh…..ookkkay," Finn said
