Well, here's the eighth episode. Please review it. Please. 0-0

CHARACTERS

Cake—Fionna's best friend/adoptive sister and Mo-Chro's girlfriend. She doesn't look much like Jake aside from their body proportions. She has white eyes in which the black pupils become circular if surprised, excited, shocked, or scared. She has a cat muzzle and a small nose (compared to Jake's), cat ears, white fur with many coffee colored spots, and a large bushy tail. Cake may know Morse code in order to speak to Lord Monochromicorn, similar to how Jake knows Korean in order to speak to Lady Rainicorn. Cake plays a hammered dulcimer, as opposed to a viola. Her tail "frizzes out" if it is agitated or worried. As a Lumpy Space 'cat', she is a light color of maroon with large spots of fuchsia to match her coffee-colored spots. Her tail is now lumpy and more beaver-tail-like.

Fionna—is a 13-year-old adventurer and Cake's adoptive sister. While usually appearing as black dots, her eyes are seen as blue when enlarged. She wears a rabbit-themed hat (similar to Finn's bear-themed hat) with exposed locks of blonde hair. Unlike Finn, her neck is shown. Her outfit includes a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and knee-high socks with two thin horizontal stripes at the top. Fionna is heavier set than. She has a green backpack (similar to Finn's) and Mary Jane shoes. Her name was officially changed from "Fiona" to "Fionna," presumably to make it more similar to Finn's name. The pronunciation, however, has remained unchanged. Like Finn and his crush on Princess Bubblegum, it is revealed in many portraits posted that Fionna has a crush on Prince Gumball. Fionna has buck teeth like a rabbit. Fionna, like Finn, is Cake's adoptive sister. It is shown that as a Lumpy Space girl, she is about 3 feet tall. The top of her has two long white lumps like her hat. The bottom of her is the same as her skirt. She has a small mass of yellow for her small piece of hair.

The Businesswomen—are a group of women hired by Fionna and Cake. They were found in an iceberg, so their age is unknown. The names of them are Avery, Amanda, Audrey, and Arietta. They all wear gray pencil skirts with a gray jacket, a white blouse, black boots, and black ties. The only differences are their hairstyles and hair color: Avery has chestnut hair going down to her waist; Audrey has russet hair tied back into a bun; Amanda has auburn hair in a high ponytail; Arietta has sepia short-cut and curly.

Corndog Prince—is the prince of the Hot Dog Kingdom. He is Hot Dog Princess's gender-swap character. He is long with a golden-brown outside (probably bread), and has long ears like a cocker spaniel.

BUSINESSTIME

Fionna lit her flamethrower once more and charged it at the iceberg. It melted in a matter of seconds.

"I found another tricycle and more computers!" Fionna called to cake, looking at the iceberg's contents. "What do you got?"

"I keep finding weird shoes!" Cake called, gesturing to the pile of oddly-shaped shoes before her.

She charged her flamethrower at an iceberg behind her, revealing more oddly shaped shoes.

"What the flip? And they're all righties! Sorry I'm not finding any loot."

"Keep it together, cat cakes." Fionna told her. "I think we have enough scrap to finish our gauntlet-dock—a dock that is also a gauntlet!"

She gestured over to the gauntlet-dock. It wasn't quite done, only with the wooden walkway and a few spiky balls and a chainsaw.

"Building this gauntlet-dock is hard, Fi." Cake moaned. "Hard work stinks."

"Don't be lazy, Cake," Fionna told her.

They heard a strange bubbling noise behind them. They turned around to see the biggest iceberg they had ever seen floating towards them.

"Incoming iceberg," Cake called.

"Whoa!" Fionna gaped. "That one's huge!"

"I got dibs! I hot it's not shoes!"

Cake ran over to the iceberg and noticed some weird figures inside it. She ran a hand across the icy surface to reveal—

"Whoa! It's a gal!"

"Creepy," Fionna walked around the iceberg, looking through the frozen outside. "It's a bunch of gals."

"You know what they remind me of? Well-dresses cucumbers."

"Stand back, Cake," Fionna told her, setting up her flamethrower. "I'm going to melt them out of there—full charge!" She flared her flamethrower, causing it to burst out flames.

"Whoa!" Cake grabbed it away from her. "Don't roast them, Fi! You got to flambé." She lightly waved the flamethrower across the iceberg, flambéing it halfway, "Viola!"

"Hey, can you hear me?" Fionna asked the frozen women. "Hello?"

Cake knocked on the head of a woman with shoulder-length brown hair. "I don't think they made it."

"Hey, this one's got some kind of pack." Fionna pointed to a woman with long black hair clutching a suitcase. Fionna reached for the suitcase, but suddenly, the woman sprang to life and clutched Fionna's throat.

Fionna screamed.

The woman moaned, "I…remember…business…"

"LET GO LET GO LET GO!" Fionna screamed, running away from the woman.

The woman wrenched her suitcase out of the iceberg. The other business women sprang to life as well and soon, they were all alive and breathing, clutching phones or suitcases.

"We are businesswomen." The long-haired brunette said.

"Oh." Fionna said. She and Cake took off their flamethrowers. "Well, I'm Fionna, and this is Cake."

"What kind of business do you do?" Cake asked them.

"Been frozen…so long…I…" The long-haired brunette groaned in pain with the others, "can't…remember…oh! Are you looking for business help?"

The other women smiled hopefully. "We love work for you."

"Nah," Fionna shook her head no. "Adventurers don't need help—"

"Yes!" Cake ignored her sister. "Help us fix that dock!"

"Do-ck?" The women were confused.

"Right over there," Cake gestured over to the gauntlet-dock.

"Yes…" The women murmured. "This do-ck could be more…efficient…"

"No, wait!"

The businesswomen jumped in fear.

"Cake," Fionna told her, "This dock is our fun cookie! We should be the ones to bake it!"

"But they're begging for it, Fi! Just look at them!"

The businesswomen all blushed and giggled.

"Fi, these poor souls are lost without jobs! We can't ignore their plight!"

"Uh…"

"GO ON, GALS, FIX IT UP!"

The businesswomen all screamed with delight and ran to the gauntlet-dock.

"Well…they do seem really happy to do it…" Fionna said, watching the businesswomen work.

"Of course, girl! They said they love work for you!"

"We finished!"

"WHOA!" Fionna gawked at the dock. There was fire, a giant pair of scissors, twenty axes, and more. It was a dream come true.

"Told you so," Cake said.

"Come on! Let's try it out!" Fionna and Cake ran to the dock.

First, they had to jump over an avalanche of logs (Fionna got hit.) Then, they ran over a blade and under a swinging ax. Then they had to quickly dash through the pair of scissors. They were then launched into the air by a spring pad. They came to a beheading blade. Cake ran through it, while Fionna broke through the wood. They caught hold of a swinging Morningstar and swung off of it and finally jumped through a fiery hoop into the water.

They resurfaced, bruised, scratched, and a bit bloodied (though very happy.)

"See?" Cake breathed heavily. "If we hire them full-time, they'll be back in business, and we'll be able to focus on fun stuff! Everyone wins!"

"Maybe you're right!"

"YOU HEAR THAT, GIRLS? MAYBE I'M RIGHT!"

"Really?" The long-haired brunette smiled. "Job with adventurers?"

"Yeah!"

The businesswomen cheered.

And so, the businesswomen were hired. They shined the weapons, ironed the clothes, and shined the shoes happily and gratefully.

"It feels weird doing nothing," Fionna told Cake as Cake played Conquest Pros on BMA.

"Relax, Fi, this is your day off."

"Help! Somebody help!"

"Someone's in trouble!" Fionna yelped. "Get your ax! I'll get my sword!"

Fionna stopped short of running when she saw the businesswomen in front of her.

"Adventure pack. Ready for you." The long-haired brunette said, handing Fionna her backpack and sword. Fionna and Cake decided to name her Avery.

"Thanks!"

Fionna and Cake ran down the grassy hill, sword in hand and hearts pumping.

"I have to say, Cake, my sword is totally shiny!" Fionna told her sister, raising her ruby sword so that it gleamed in the sun, "And stinkin' sharp!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Even my shoes feel different! Not only are they clean, I feel cooler, faster, and more…adequate!"

"Cool!"

The businesswomen ran behind them, frantically taking notes.

"Help!" Corndog Prince cried, running around in his pen away from the flying battle triangles swarming over him.

"Don't worry, Corndog Prince! Cake and I will fend off these battle triangles!"

Avery, the short-haired brunette Audrey, the pony tailed brunette Arietta, and the bun-tied brunette Amanda wrote down notes furiously, drinking coffee and chewing on donuts.

And so Fionna and cake fended off the battle cubes, slashing swords and kicking away lightning bolts.

2 HOURS LATER…

Fionna and Cake were tired. The battle triangles kept going on no matter what. Their limbs felt weak. Corndog Prince had fallen asleep.

"I'm getting tired…" Fionna yawned, numbly slapping away the lightning bolts.

"Me too…" Cake said weakly, sweating like crazy. "These triangles are flipping resilient." She turned around to the business women and called, "Hey, business girls!"

The businesswomen all jumped.

"Hold off these cubes so we can catch our breath," Cake told them.

"Cake! They don't know how to fight!"

The businesswomen ran to the battle triangles, with armor and weapons, whooping battle cried.

Fionna sat next to Cake, watching the businesswomen fend off the battle triangles.

Amanda ran up to them with a tray of water bottles and apple slices. "Water and apple slices help re-hydrate."

Fionna gulped down some water as Cake chewed on an apple.

"These gals are great, right?" Cake asked Fionna as Fionna poured the rest of the water all over her face.

"I've got to admit—they are helping," Fionna smiled. "Oh! I think I've figured out how to get the battle cubes!"

"That's because you've had time to rest your bod and refresh your brain."

Fionna and Cake did some stretches before running back to the battle triangles.

"Ok! We'll take it from here!"

"Yeah! Good work!"

The business women saluted and walked off.

"Grab all the cubes together!" Fionna yelled to Cake.

Cake stretched larger. She clasped all the triangles into her palms.

Fionna climbed up her sister's body and ran into her palms. "Okay!"

Cake opened her hands, revealing all the battle triangles tied together. Cake threw the triangles miles away.

"Wake up, Corndog Prince."

The Corndog Prince shook his head lazily, and opened his eyes to see Fionna holding the gate of the pen open. "You're free now."

"Oh, thank you, Fionna and Cake!" Corndog Prince cheered. He walked closer to Fionna, "Especially you, Fionna."

He puckered his lips together. Fionna blushes a rosy color and edged away.

"He smells like moldy bread," Fionna whispered to Cake. Cake chuckled.

Audrey noticed that Fionna was uncomfortable. She squeezed herself between Fionna and Corndog Prince, allowing him to kiss her cheek.

Corndog Prince blushed and walked away.

"I take one for team," Audrey whispered to Fionna, beaming.

"This—is—awesome!" Fionna cheered. "You get a promotion, Audrey!"

Audrey cheered and clapped excitedly.

The other businesswomen kissed Corndog Prince over and over.

"Dang it," Cake sulked as BMA rang a losing song, "Died again!"

"My turn," Fionna took the joystick from the cat and began to play the game.

Cake got off the couch to check on the businesswomen. They had set up all of the computers from the gauntlet-dock and had made some sort of tracking device.

"What's this?" Cake asked Arietta, who was wearing a pair of heavy goggles.

"Hero-vision monitor," Arietta answered. "We use satellite to use world problems."

"Wow. Is anything going on?" Cake asked her, taking a tub of strawberry sherbet out of the freezer.

"Just small things. You seemed stressed for big things.

"Cool."

"What are they doing?" Fionna asked Cake, not taking her eyes off of the screen.

"Taking care of business," Cake replied, molding her hand into a spoon and eating a spoonful of sherbet.

"Cake, hit me." Fionna said, furiously moving the joystick. Cake threw her a spoonful of sherbet.

3 hours later…

Fionna and Cake were still sitting on the couch, surrounded by a mountain of strawberry sherbet tubs, their stomachs majorly distended.

"YEAH!" Cake cheered as the game flashed WINNER!

"We beat Conquest Pros!" Fionna whooped, standing up and dancing with Cake.

"HOLY MOLY!"

"W'RE CONQUEST PROFFESIONALS!"

They froze and breathed heavily from moving so much. They collapsed back onto the couch.

"I never knew being fat and lazy was so rewarding." Fionna sighed.

"Yeah. Your guts so huge and moldable." Cake grabbed her sister's gut.

"Hey!"

"Just a second."

Cake molded her sister's gut so that it was in the shape of Ice Queen.

"I'm the Ice Queen. And I'll never find a husband because I'm such a dork."

Fionna laughed. "Let me try!" She grabbed her gut and began to mold it until it was Prince Gumball.

"I'm Prince Gumball. I'm a dork because I like science. I also have a really annoying voice that Fionna thinks is attractive!"

"Ha-ha! That's a—wait. What'd you say?"

"Ah! Help me!"

Fionna turned around to see LSP on a monitor being chased by a giant female monster.

"Leave me alone! I only said you were ugly, which is totally true! Somebody help me!"

"Fi, I am NOT in the mood for saving Lumpy Space Prince." Cake sighed.

"HEY, BUSINESSWOMEN!" Fionna called.

The businesswomen rushed over.

"What do you guys think?"

"Just one monster." Amanda shrugged. "We do."

"Alright!" Cake cheered as the businesswomen headed out. "We'll wait here."

Cake and Fionna collapsed on the couch again. "I wonder what the adventures will be like when it's time for us to go out there."

"I'm too tired to imagine stuff. But I bet you're right."

Fionna and Cake grabbed two more strawberry sherbets and toasted, "To be great adventurers!"

2 hours later

Fionna and Cake moaned half-asleep, their faces covered in strawberry sherbet and the quarts empty.

"Oh glob…" Fionna groaned as she fell off the couch.

"Help me!"

"Wha? Cake, did you hear that?"

"Yeah. Let the businesswomen handle it." Cake yawned.

"Help! Ah!"

"I heard it again!"

"Businesswomen, Fi!"

Fionna stumbled over to the window. She gasped.

The businesswomen were in some kind of humongous machine. The top of the machine was shaped like Fionna's hat with the bunny ears and the businesswomen were in the face. The machine had three legs and no arms. A long red tube was running down the side. Small dust bunnies were running around, trying to get away from the pipe as it sucked them up. There was a large pouch on the right side of the machine where all the dust bunnies were stored. The businesswomen cheered.

"Cake! We messed up! The businesswomen have gone made crazy, girl!"

"Fionna, just let the businesswomen handle it."

"THE BUSINESSWOMEN ARE THE PROBLEM, YOU LAZY PLUGHOLE!"

"Huh?"

"GIRLS!" Fionna screamed out the window. "Girls, stop it!" She leapt from the window to the lower tree top an landed on the ground.

"Stop it, girls!"

"Stop what, Boss?" Avery asked over the intercom of the machine.

"Stop jacking up to dist bunnies!"

"We're being heroes. Like you, Boss. We're protecting them: putting them in our care-sack so they can't be hurt."

"It's the most efficient way to save people," Arietta said.

"But you're making them unhappy!"

"Irrelevant!" Audrey said, "They're in our care-sack. Their happiness is not priority."

"I am your boss!" Fionna yelled. "And you gals are all fired!"

The businesswomen all looked at each other. "Fi-red?"

They cried out in rage and went red with anger. They began picking up dust bunnies more madly. They stepped on one, crushing it.

"NO!" Fionna cried. "All right, businesswomen! I'm going to take you all down! Fionna Style!"

She ran over to the machine's leg, pried it from the ground and pulled out the limping dust bunny.

The machine sucked her into the tube.

Fionna landed with a wheeze onto the pile of dust bunnies. She ran to the edge of it and yelled, "I'm kicking your care-sack, ya idiots!"

"Fionna?" Cake slugged over to the window to see what was going on. "Oh dang…I'm coming, Fi-Fi!"

She jumped out of the window and landed with a splat on the ground. She was like a gigantic pancake by this time.

"I'm so fat, Fi, I don't know what to do!"

"That's it!" Fionna gasped. "Cake! Demoralize them!"

"What? Why?"

"Just do it, Cake! I have a legit plan!"

"Okay. Alright. Hey, businesswomen! You guys are horrible at business!"

The businesswomen cried in rage again. They pointed the tube at Cake and began to suck her up.

"They're sucking me up, Fi!"

"Now eat that sherbet some more to become fatter while also using your stretchy powers to become huge!"

"Okay!"

Cake dug her face into the sherbet quart while growing in size rapidly. Soon, she was blocking up the entire tube.

"This bombs."

"Yes! Keep going! You're breaking apart their robot!"

The robot shuddered and smoked. The businesswomen screamed.

The robot burst into a million pieces, sending Fionna, Cake, the businesswomen, and the dust bunnies flying into the clouds.

"I'm going to kill you, Not-Boss!" Amanda screamed, clawing at Fionna.

"Wait, Amanda, wait! I want to rehire you guys!"

"Rehire?" Avery cried excitedly as they began to fall back down. "Really?"

They all cheered and joined hands, falling through the clouds with Cake falling behind them.

The fat Cake, the distended Fionna, and the cheering dust bunnies all waved goodbye to the businesswomen as they floated away on the ocean, once again frozen in a giant iceberg.

"So wait," Cake said, "What'd you hire them to do?"

"I hired them to stuff themselves in that iceberg and get out of here."

"I'm going to miss them. And I'm going to miss my gut." Cake shrunk down to her normal, furry-tailed shape.

"I'm going to miss my gut, too."

Fionna sucked in her stomach, but her gut did not disappear. "Crud."
