Chapter 3: Who?
"Help me out here, will ya?" Princess Bubblegum says to a nurse. "Hand me a screwdriver, please." The princess had her head deep inside the faulty machine trying to fix it, to hopefully get a clearer picture of the insides of the jellybean gerbil she plans to put through and then maybe, just MAYBE, get a clear picture of her new patient.
"OK, that should be the last of it." says Princess Bubblegum standing up, wiping the mechanical grease off her face. "Come here Jellybaby." she said in a sing song voice and picked up the candy gerbil, placing it under the arm of the machine. "Now hold still, please." she flips a switch on the console, the machine hums to life and after about a minute the gerbil explodes into a thousand pieces, scattered all across the room. The princess sighs, "Back to drawing board, again." slowly she turns around, "I thought I had it this time!" she yells as she flips the table across the room, making a loud crash.
"Hey! Do you mind? Some of us are busy being sick here." says a voice in the other room. The princess went to find where the voice came from and found it was her new patient, "You seem to be feeling better." she says looking over the medical equipment.
"I don't think I'm so well. I have a headache. And your hair looks like bubblegum." he says sitting up making sure he saw what he thought he saw.
"You're not hallucinating, I am made of bubblegum. My name is Princess Bubblegum by the way. What's yours?"
"Myron, and what's with a princess made of bubblegum doing with grease on her face and in the same room in a hospital with a stranger?"
"I'm the head surgeon and engineer. Also head executive, legislature, judiciary, pretty much everything except head chef, that title goes to Peppermint Butler, but soon it will be mine." she said that last part in a dramatic tone.
He chuckles nervously.
Finn and Jake walk into the room. "Hey, PB we're back."
"Great. Did you finish the catalog?" says Princess Bubblegum.
"Yeah, got it right here." Finn hands a clipboard to Princess Bubblegum.
"Thank you Finn." she says, "By the way, here's Myron, the person you found in the dungeon."
"A dungeon?" he says, "Last thing I remember, I was in my parents' research facility."
"A research facility? For what?" asked PB.
"For human augmentation; enhancing human abilities, advanced prosthetics, stuff like that."
"Fascinating, have any of the enhancements worked?" asked PB.
"Not really, I was the only true success, every other test was temporary, any boost wore off like a drug in about an hour. They never figured out the cause of it."
"What are prosthetics?" asked Finn.
"Basically, a robotic arm or leg." You replied.
"Woah, awesome." say both Finn and Jake.
Jake then proceeds to interrogate Myron, "Now tell me new kid, what were you doing in that stasis pod of yours?"
"Sleeping." he says in a sarcastic manner.
"Don't toy with me I wanna know why and I wanna know now!" says Jake, continuing his interrogation.
Myron looks at Jake like he's saying 'Really?'
Finn pulls Jake aside and whispers him, "Dude, what are you doing we don't need to interrogate him. He's not a prisoner."
Jake whispers back, "Right, I forgot. I became so used to doing that with the Ice King that I just did it here."
"Well, knock it off. OK?"
"Gotcha." Jake winks at Finn and they both return to the normal conversation.
