Disclaimer: I did not invent any of these characters. The brothers Chaps did. I do not own this storyline. Frank Oz does. In other words, I just took from celebrities to mix together a fan fiction because I can.

On a sunny afternoon sometime in early autumn, in an early year of this particular decade, the strange races encountered a threat that could easily destroy it. And unlikely as it may be, most threats often wait in a seemingly innocent location…
'Cession Stand of Horrors (a.k.a. Little Shop of Homestar)
Three pretty girls—one blonde, one brunette, and one red-head—showed up and began singing (If Pom girls can't sing don't sue me; they CAN giggle after all). "'Cession stand, concession stand of horrors. 'Cession stand, concession stand of terror."
While they were singing they went to Bubs' concession stand and started singing to him. He didn't know they were there. They went out to the back of Bubs' concession stand where a portly and rather gloomy looking guy was fixing a shelf of supplies.
Or rather breaking. "Strong Sad, what do you think you're doing?" Bubs asked angrily.
Strong Sad answered, "Nothing important!" He knew that he could have chosen better wording, but Bubs kind of intimidated him. He wasn't sure why though.
Strong Sad cleaned up the mess and went upstairs. Just at that moment, a beautiful honey blonde with a fancy skirt came to work.
"Good morning, Bubs" she said happily.
"Marzipan, you're about seven and a half hours late! Not like that actually matters…" Bubs said glumly.
It was at just that moment that Bubs realized Marzipan had a black eye. "Where did that come from?"
"What?" Marzipan said with mock confusion.
"If that brutal boyfriend of you is hitting you again, I'm gonna think he's not really good for your health." Bubs said butting in to Marzipan's business.
"He's a monster, but he has a good job that pays. Besides, nobody else would ever want me." Marzipan said with a hint of self-loathing. Bubs was confused why Marzipan would ever want to date the person he had saved Strong Sad from way back when.
Speaking of Strong Sad, he took a box of antique china upstairs and accidentally dropped it on the floor breaking it.
Bubs was mad. He scolded Strong Sad, and told Marzipan to help him pick up the mess.
She did so. Strong Sad saw the black eye, and, ironically, did not know what it was. "Hey is that a new powder?" Strong Sad pondered out loud.
Marzipan wanted the topic of the discussion to elude from the black eye.
Bubs noticed the three hot girls we already introduced sitting right outside the stand. "Leave please. Unless you are intending to browse or purchase, you're loitering."
"We're not loitering, right?" the blonde asked.
"Not me, maybe SHE was!" the red-head said.
"Why are you not at school?" Bubs asked.
"We dropped out," the brunette said.
The blonde added, "We dropped out after fifth grade."
Bubs was a bit confused why they dropped out so early. He said, "But you're never going to make something better of yourselves!"
"Better of ourselves? Why would we want to make something better of ourselves? It's not like we could anyway, being as we're from Barren Fields." the blonde said.
To tell you about Barren Fields, it was as much of a slum as a little town could get. Both Strong Sad and Marzipan were from Barren Fields, and they both loathed it so much.
Strong Sad felt he owed his life to Bubs. Since Strong Sad came from an abusive family (which, of course, is true in the canon), Bubs took him in, and neglected him a little, but anything's better than being abused. He never missed his family, and things got really harsh when his crush Marzipan started dating his brother.
Marzipan was so upset because she didn't like the fact that she had to date someone she didn't even love. The only reason she dated him was so she could get money. After all, Bubs' concession stand was not too popular.
They worked all day long and not a single customer came. Eventually Bubs gave up. Marzipan and Strong Sad were horrified by the news. If he closed down, they'd be out of a job! Strong Sad had a suggestion. "You know, maybe what the stand needs is a promotional stunt."
"Like what?" Bubs asked.
Marzipan said, "How about we put that weird wild stick on the counter? You see, Bubs, Strong Sad loves to study the life cycle, as do I. And I think if we put an out-of-place life cycle plant out, we might get a customer."
Bubs said, "That's… the craziest idea ever!"
Strong Sad came back and he was carrying a stick. "I think the stick is a little unwell." He then chuckled a little bit. "Well you know it's not crazy!"
Bubs and Marzipan looked at each other. They didn't know what was so hilarious but there was something.
After Strong Sad was done chuckling over his emo reference, which wasn't really all that funny, he said "Anyway, since this plant was born a stick, I think it might be some kind of tree, but none of my books tell me. But I did give it a name. I call it 'Marzy II'."
"You named it after ME?" Marzipan asked surprised.
"Yes I did," Strong Sad said, desperately hoping she would get the point through. "I thought if I put it on the counter customers would come quicker than a guillotine."
"No, that will NEVER work." Bubs said. "Just because we put a stick on the counter doesn't mean a customer will come…"
A seemingly inflated man came up and said (well, bubbled) something along the lines of, "I saw that plant and I want to know where it came from."
Strong Sad piped up, "Well, you remember that solar eclipse six nights ago? I was walking to a shop, because well, life to death to rebirth or afterlife kind of stuff is my hobby. I ran into an old gluttonous man who was eating something. I thought I might be able to find a phenomenon. But there wasn't one. Then without warning," TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN! "Then there was a weird sound like a UFO or something. When the light came back I saw this stick just sitting there. I could've sworn it hadn't been there before. But I was sold the stick by the old man for a dollar ninety-five."
The man bubbled something like "That's a cool story, and a cool stick. Oh, I need 50 worth of bright red roses. I tango with 27 girls."
Bubs, Marzipan, and Strong Sad were very excited. Their excitement faded when he asked, I believe, "Do you have change for a hundred?"
Bubs said, "One hundred dollars. Sorry."
The man, Pom Pom, bubbled a suggestion. "Eh, it's 'kay. I guess I'll just buy twice as many!"
People exclaimed in turn. Strong Sad said half-heartedly "Twice as many?"
Marzipan said three-quarter-heartedly, "Twice as many?"
Bubs yelled wholeheartedly "Twice as many!"
A greenish mouthless hobo whispered to a much uglier smellier hobo, "Twice as many."
Soon the customers were flocking in.
A scary-looking fighter (who Strong Sad was especially intimidated by) yelled, "I LIKE PLANT!"
A small yellowish animal came in and squeaked, probably commenting about the stick.
There is a transition to a badly drawn version of Bubs' stand. A popular looking girl said to a geeky looking girl, "Look, there it is, So-and-So."
The geeky girl said back, "Oh my gosh, it's TOTALLY weird."
Business boomed. They got lots of money. Bubs was so happy he wanted to treat Strong Sad and Marzipan to dinner.
Marzipan rejected the invite because she had a date. She left. Strong Sad said "The Marzy II is still a little unwell."
Bubs said to him, "Confidentially, so is the Marzy I."
Strong Sad asked, "Are we still going out?"
Bubs glared at Strong Sad. "We? Not you. You need to take care of that sick plant!"
With that Bubs left and Strong Sad wandered glumly back into the basement.
