Jake's Best Friend
Part 4
The sun had set a few hours earlier. Finn and Jake were hesitant to go to sleep knowing that Tiffany was undoubtedly plotting something. Beemo was standing watch on top of the tree house wearing jungle camouflage and night vision goggles. Jake was not entirely unconvinced that the goggles were just toys.
Finn had switched into his pajamas before settling into bed. He allowed himself to sink into the mattress as he thought about their torched living room, he knew it was going to be a while before they could get it repaired. They were lucky that the fire hadn't reached the tree, otherwise the entire house would have collapsed.
"Glob knows our last house hunt was a nightmare." He mumbled under his breath.
Jake's ears perked up a bit as he was finishing brushing his teeth. "did you say something?"
"I was just thinking about what would have happened if Beemo hadn't gotten that fire under control. Our home would have been nothing but ash." As Finn spoke Jake thought back to their belongings, specifically the more dangerous explosive or magical ones.
Jake chuckled to himself "I'm pretty a giant crater would have been left behind when some of the stuff we owned exploded, not ash." A frown appeared on Finn's face when he realized that everyday they were sleeping over a very large amount of dangerous and sometimes volatile, stuff.
Finn sat up a little."Huh... You think we should try moving that stuff someplace else?"
Jake shrugged as he spoke. "Nah, There's not really anywhere else to put any of it. It would take forever to move it all anyways." He thought about all the gold in their home. "Maybe we could hire someone to build us a warehouse or something."
Finn fell back onto his bed. "Well, we can worry about that later. We need to take Tiffany down soon."
Jake nodded and got into his bed. "hopefully Beemo will spot him if he tries anything tonight."
"Yeah, it'll be easier to sleep at night with a little security." Finn though about that for a moment. Security. Real security though, not just Beemo looking around outside. Finn closed his eyes as a plan formed in his head.
The next morning...
Beemo had removed its camouflage and goggles just as the sun was rising. It let himself recharge in an outlet for an hour before getting back up. Jake was still asleep but Finn was missing. Beemo searched downstairs to find Finn with Princess Bubblegum, setting up some strange machinery to the doors and windows.
"What are you two doing?" Beemo asked.
Princess Bubblegum didn't look up from a PDA as she spoke. "Finn was concerned about security, so I came to help."
Something loudly snapped into place within the machinery attached to the window they were working on. Princess Bubblegum opened the window and reached her hand through it only to jump back when a small arc of electricity jumped from the machinery to her hand.
"Looks like it works." Princess Bubblegum said as she closed the window and turned a dial on the machine up.
"Is it powerful enough to knock him out if he tries to come in?" Finn asked.
She nodded "Yep, just don't change that dial and don't turn it up, or you'll fry him to a crisp."
She walked over to a panel on a wall and pressed a button. A message appeared on it saying 'system on'.
"I'll get an alarm and send someone to arrest Tiffany if this alarm goes off."
She handed Finn a piece of paper and Beemo two. They all contained the same numbers.
"Make sure to give one of those to Jake, Beemo. You need those to deactivate the system so you can leave without setting off the alarm."
Beemo nodded in response as Finn spoke up. "And now all we have to do is wait for him to try to break in here." Finn felt extremely pleased with the situation.
Sorry that I missed a day on getting this one out. This might end next chapter, I make no promises since I'm fairly terrible at guessing how long these will be. The cost of going moment to moment I guess.
It feels weird calling Beemo it even if it is accurate, I'll just call it him or her depending on what game he's playing.
