I'll probably keep updating late because school starts again in a few days, but here's chapter 6!
Sunshine crept through the window of Princess Bubblegum's bedroom, highlighting specs of dust that floated in the beams of light. Princess Bubblegum was still fast asleep. She opened her eyes slowly, groaning. She rolled out of her bed before brushing her hair and getting changed into her usual dress. She yawned and walked to the room next to her sluggishly, to check if Finn and Jake were there.
The room next to Princess Bubblegum's was the same size and layout as the Lemonsisters', although the colour scheme was much different, and there weren't any lemon themed decorations. Most of the room was light brown, with wooden furniture that resembled what they had in their treehouse. On the floor in the middle of the room, Finn and Lemonjuice were playing BMO, with Jake watching behind Finn and Lemonade watching behind Lemonjuice. Finn was red faced, fuming and almost smashing the controller in anger while Lemonjuice kept a calm expression, and used the controller fluidly. Jake and Lemonade were watching the screen in awe. On the screen was a fight game, with the characters being more muscly versions of themselves. Finn's character was moving so rapidly the screen was almost fuzzy, while Lemonjuice's character attacked him and blocked his attacks using precise moves and looked much calmer in comparison. Lemonade's eyes were twinkling. "Come on sister you almost beat him!" she cheered, noticing that Finn's health bar was red. Lemonjuice's health bar was almost full.
"Come on Finn!" Jake encouraged while his friend was sweaty, red and panicking, "You can still beat her! It's possible!"
On the screen, Lemonjuice's character smacked Finn's character to the ground, and his health bar shrunk to 0. On Lemonjuice's side, Lemonade high fived her sister and they both smiled. Finn fumed even more, until Jake patted his shoulder. "Come on man, it's probably just a glitch." He said, at which point Finn sighed and calmed down. At that point, Princess Bubblegum came in through the door to see what looked like Lemonade celebrating with Lemonjuice, and Jake trying to reassure Finn.
"What happened here?" Princess Bubblegum asked.
"LJ really kicked Finn's buns at BMO." Jake replied.
"Hm. Okay then. Did you guys already have breakfast?" Princess Bubblegum asked.
"Nope. We just woke up." Jake replied, even though they had all been awake for a while playing BMO.
"Let's go get pancakes then. Come with me." Princess Bubblegum said, and everyone followed her out of the door and downstairs. When they got downstairs they all sat around a table which had all several stacks of large pancakes, and every sauce and topping you could think of. "Enjoy!" Princess Bubblegum smiled. Everyone took a few pancakes, and topped them with lots of sauces and sprinkles. Even lemon candy.
"Hey Princess?" Jake asked disapprovingly.
"Yes Jake?" Princess Bubblegum said.
"Where's the bacon, for bacon pancakes?" Jake asked, sulking with his arms crossed. Princess Bubblegum laughed.
"Oh Jake, I'll go call Peppermint." Princess Bubblegum turned behind her and yelled "Yo Peppermint!" and Peppermint Butler ran into the room.
"Yes Princess?" he said.
"Could you go get some bacon?" PB asked. Peppermint Butler looked confused.
"Um… of course Princess." He said, and he walked to the kitchen to get some bacon.
Jake started humming to himself happily, thinking of bacon pancakes. Princess Bubblegum looked at the Lemonsisters who were enjoying pancakes heavily topped with chocolate sauce, sprinkles and lemon candy.
"Are you enjoying those pancakes, girls?" she asked.
"Mmmpph, yes, acceptable." They both approved. Their mouths were still full of pancake.
"Well that's great. I think you're ready to move in with the Lemongrabs." Princess Bubblegum said. Finn dramatically spat out the orange juice he was drinking, which landed on Jake.
"Ewww gross." Jake complained.
"Princess what are you thinking? Seriously you saw how Lemonade was with Lemongrab yesterday." Finn shouted.
"I know." She said, "But I've seen now that Lemonade has learned from her mistakes, and they are both ready now."
"Fine, but you might want to call them first." Finn said.
"Of course I will, but maybe we should finish breakfast first." PB said. Peppermint Butler came into the room with a plate which had a pile of bacon on it. Jake jumped up and down in his seat in excitement as Peppermint Butler placed the bacon filled plate in front of him.
"Thanks man." Jake thanked Peppermint.
"You're welcome, enjoy your bacon." Peppermint said and he walked out of the room again. Jake excitedly topped his pancakes with bacon and ate them.
"We'll go tomorrow if it's okay with them." Princess Bubblegum said to Finn.
"That's cool." Finn said.
"I'll go call the Lemongrabs." Princess Bubblegum said. She left the room, leaving everyone else to enjoy their pancakes.
"No no. Get off. Or 5 hours dungeon." Lemongrab threatened to Plop-Top, who was clinging to his leg. Plop-Top shrieked loudly. "No! Get off! Heed my instructions or else! ARRGHH!" Lemongrab screamed. Lemongrab was in his and Lemongrab 2's bedroom, desperately trying to get Plop-Top off his leg so he could go to the bathroom. Their room was as big as Princess Bubblegum's, and laid out exactly the same, except the furniture had a yellow and brown colour scheme, with some green. The clock above their bed even had the Lemon Child whose face peeled when he yelled in it. He jumped from the clock and screeched at Lemongrab, his face peeling as he did. "Shut up Lemonpeel*! Or dungeon for you too!" Lemongrab yelled. Suddenly the phone rang near him, but he couldn't walk to it because Plop-Top was still clinging to his leg. "Mnnnyeearghh! Brother go and answer it!" Lemongrab shrieked angrily.
Lemongrab 2 was busy trying to get Seed-Wad off his head. He looked in the mirror in the bathroom and tried to pull Seed-Wad off, but with no success. "Yes, I'll get it." He sighed in defeat. He walked past his furious brother to the phone.
"Hello?" Lemongrab 2 said. The person on the other end started talking.
"Yes Mother Princess?" Princess Bubblegum talked again.
"Mhmm," he nodded as Princess Bubblegum kept talking, "Mhmm, mhmm, mhmm…" he continued nodding. Princess Bubblegum finished explaining, and what she said caused Seed-Wad and Lemongrab 2's eyes to widen. "WHHHAAAAAAAAA?" he yelled. Lemongrab turned to his brother.
"Dearest brother what happened?" he asked.
"MOTHER PRINCESS SHALL EXPLAIN!" Lemongrab 2 replied, handing the phone to Lemongrab. Lemongrab listened to what Princess Bubblegum had to say. When she finished explaining, he screamed so loudly, the castle shook.
"MOTHER NOOOOO! NEVER! I shall never let the unacceptable one stay here!" Lemongrab shouted.
PB started talking again.
"Decorpsinator serum? Hhhmmmnnn…" Lemongrab mumbled. Princess Bubblegum finished talking on the other end. "Yea, ok. Goodbye Mother."
Lemongrab put down the phone and turned to his brother. "Dearest brother I have both good and bad news. Mother Princess has a way to bring back our boys!" he smiled.
"This is excellent news! When is she going to bring them back?" Lemongrab 2 asked.
"That is the problem. We must allow Lemonjuice and Lemonade to stay with us for one week." Lemongrab said.
"Nyyeaarrrrghhh." They both cried.
"I cannot stand the one in white!" Lemongrab complained.
"Me neither brother!" The other one said.
Princess Bubblegum put down the phone. "Now where did I put the decorpsinator serum?" she said to herself. Suddenly, Finn, Jake and the Lemonsisters appeared at the door. Princess Bubblegum jumped back a little.
"How did you know I was here?" she asked.
"This is where the phone is. You showed us." Lemonjuice replied.
"Oh. Well I got good news." She smiled. "You two are staying at Castle Lemongrab for a week!"
"Yes that is acceptable news." Lemonjuice said.
"Ohmyglob," Lemonade cried, "This is soo exciting! Is Lemongrab gonna be there?"
"Yes he is." PB replied. Lemonade's face lit up.
"Oooooh! Yesyesyesyesyes!" she squealed happily.
"It's good to see you're excited about this. I hope you'll both settle in well at Castle Lemongrab." PB said.
"Mmnnn I shall go and pack my things." Lemonjuice said. She left the room to go into her own room and pack the few things she had: her nightdress, her lemon-toothbrush, lemon-hairbrush and a small but sharp pen knife she found. She also packed the empty can of cola, knowing that there was a dungeon at Castle Lemongrab. They all fitted well in a small lemon shaped suitcase that Princess Bubblegum laid out for her. Lemonade came in a few minutes later to pack her things. She opened her suitcase and threw things into it as she mentioned them.
"Hmm let's see… night dress, toothbrush, hairbrush, makeup…" she threw a heavy yellow makeup bag into the suitcase which landed with a thud, "some small sword thingy, iPhone…" her list went on as Lemonjuice just stared in shock. "How did she get all those things when we were literally born a few days ago?" She thought to herself.
"W…where did you get those?" she stuttered.
"Found 'em." Lemonade shrugged.
Lemonjuice continued to stare in shock until Lemonade finished packing. She still found it hard to believe her sister had an iPhone. Did those even exist in Ooo? Lemonjuice and Lemonade went back downstairs with their suitcases. Princess Bubblegum, Finn and Jake were waiting outside for them, and Jake had morphed himself into an open top car, with four seats and a space for the bags. Princess Bubblegum threw Lemonjuice's bag into the Jake car followed by Lemonade's. They then got into the Jake car, Finn and Princess Bubblegum in the front and the Lemonsisters in the back, and Jake made a "beep beep!" sound as he began their journey to Castle Lemongrab.
On the journey, Princess Bubblegum sat in the driver's seat, though she didn't have to do anything as Jake was driving himself. She leant against the door, deep in thought. She was anxious about the Lemonsisters moving in with the Lemongrabs, especially Lemonade. The Lemonsisters were much more successful creations than the Lemongrabs, and PB actually liked them a little. She knew that the Lemongrabs didn't get along with Lemonade already, and she had to bribe them just to let her stay. She shuddered at the thought of the Lemon Children being brought back to life. They seemed to find Lemonjuice acceptable, so there was still a chance of success. Maybe the Earldom of Lemongrab would finally be more like the Candy Kingdom. She felt Jake the car come to a halt and she looked up at Castle Lemongrab.
"We're here?" she said, almost surprised.
"Yeah," Finn said, "You were daydreaming weren't you?"
"I must have been." She rubbed her eyes sleepily.
They all got out of Jake the car and the Lemonsisters took their bags. Jake turned back into his dog form and they walked through the doors of Castle Lemongrab.
"Greetings, Princess!" The Lemongrabs grinned, flashing their sharp teeth as they all came in through the door.
"Hello Lemongrabs." Princess Bubblegum said.
"The serum, Princess?" Lemongrab asked, still grinning.
"Here." Princess Bubblegum handed the decorpsinator serum over to Lemongrab shakily.
"Greetings, fellow lemons." Lemongrab 2 welcomed the Lemonsisters.
"We will now show you to your rooms." Lemongrab said.
The Lemonsisters took their bags and followed the Lemongrabs. Princess Bubblegum watched them as they left.
Meanwhile, in the same place as yesterday, was Ice King. He had the same pair of binoculars and Gunter was under his arm. It was like he had never left the place where he perched.
"Oh Gunter isn't this exciting? A whole week of watching over my future wife!" Ice King sighed. Gunter quacked at him. "No Gunter it isn't stalking," Ice King gritted his teeth, "It's just admiring and watching over my future wife without her knowing." He watched through binoculars as they followed the Lemongrabs.
"Ooh I wonder where their room is." He grinned. Gunter quacked angrily at him. "For the last time it's not stalking it's just… oooh I think I found where their room is!" Ice King exclaimed.
He could see through his binoculars that their room had a large enough window to see what they were doing, and perhaps big enough for him to fit into. The Lemongrabs were showing the Lemonsisters their room unenthusiastically, which wasn't surprising to Ice King. He already met the first Lemongrab before, and knew that the other Lemongrab was a clone. Lemonjuice seemed almost as dull as the Lemongrabs, but Lemonade was excited and jumped onto her bed.
"My Lemon Princess…" He sighed. He peered through the binoculars again and saw that Lemongrab was focusing his eyes on him, and said something which caused the others to look. "Uh oh." Ice King jumped off and flew away as quickly as possible, not wanting to get caught.
The Lemongrabs were showing the Lemonsisters around their room. It looked incredibly similar to their room at Princess Bubblegum's castle, except there was no wallpaper, and the mirror was cracked.
"Yes this is perfectly acceptable." Lemonjuice said.
"Yes of course," Lemongrab 2 replied "Dinnertime will be in… uhh… 10 minutes! Yes! 10 minutes!"
"Come and join us then." Lemongrab said, and they both walked out.
Lemonade was sat on her bed, and Lemonjuice was inspecting the furniture in the room, looking in every drawer she could find. Lemonade gazed out of the window. The clouds were lit by the sun, and the sky looked beautiful.
"Sister?" Lemonade said.
"Mmm?" Lemonjuice said.
"That… thing from before. What was it?" Lemonade asked anxiously
"Dearest sister I don't wish to worry you but… I can't help but feel we're being watched. It think it might be a person."
AN: *That little screaming peeling guy doesn't have a name in the series so I made one up.
