Tree Trunks
Finn and Jake were seen cutting some apples with swords. Jake has an apple on his head.
"Swords! Yeah, swords! Whoo!" they cheered
Zyro then flew down from the air. He has some apples that he picked from the trees and set them down to where his brothers are
"Hey guys. Having fun?" Zyro asked
"We sure are, Zyro" Finn replied "Look at all the apples we have cut"
The white dragon looked at the apples
"Very nice, bros" Zyro said "I got some more you can cut up"
"Thanks, Zy" Jake said
"Oh, men and their swords... You boys, stop horsing around with my apples!" she scolded while spraying some water on her flowers with her trunk
"Aw,Tree Trunks!" the trio groaned
"Now, come on over! I baked y'all an apple pie." Tree Trunks said
"Yeah, apple pie!" Finn said
"Yum yum!" Zyro yelled
"Whooo-hoo-hoo!" cheered Jake
" I'm gonna eat it all before you two even GET there!" Finn laughed as he runs over to Tree Trunks' house
"Oh no you don't!" Zyro said as he flies after him
"Noooooo!" shouted Jake
Inside her house, Tree Trunks had just gotten the pie from the oven and placed it on the table. Finn then appeared in her doorway
"Apple pie!" he said
Zyro pushed the human aside
"Nuh uh!" he said
Jake then appeared in front of them
"Don't let them eat it all!" he begged
"Now, you boys sit down and behave yourselves. Oh!" Tree Trunks said before noticing a fly on top of her pie "Shoo, fly! Get off my apple pie!"
The fly flies away as Tree Trunks picks up the pie
"Huh. A fly landed on my pie. That's no good." she said before making her way over to a trash bin "Bye bye!"
The elephant then threw the pie away much to the trio's shock
"Tree Trunks, what was that about?" Zyro asked
"Why are you throwing the pie away?" Finn asked
Just then, a bunch of flies got on the pie much to the trio's disgust
"Flies wanted it, they can have it." Tree Trunks said
"I guess some bugs got to eat too" Zyro muttered nervously
"Anyways, don't y'all worry 'cause the new pie is coming in the wag of a lamb's tail." Tree Trunks assured as she opened the oven
"New pie?" Finn and Jake asked
"That's convenient" Zyro commented
"Woohoo! Pie, yeah!" cheered Finn
"Yeah! Wowowowowo" Jake cheered also
The trio then sit down on the table as Tree Trunks brings the pie over.
"Here you are" Tree Trunks said as she sets it on the tale.
"Wow" Finn said
"Come on, go ahead." Tree Trunks encouraged them
"You heard her, guys. Let's dig in" Zyro said
They each takes a slice of pie and eats it.
"What you think?" Tree Trunks asked
"It's delicious!" Zyro exclaimed
"I know. Best apple pie ever!" Jake added
"Oh, Zyro, Jake, thank you, but that ain't the best apple pie." Tree Trunks said
"What are you talking about, Tree Trunks? What can be better than your apple pie?" Finn asked curiously while taking another slice of pie
"Yeah. I mean your apple pies are always the best, Tree Trunks" Zyro said while taking a slice himself
"You guys ate all the pie..." Jake said as he looked in the pan
"Finn, what would you do if you could do anything?" Tree Trunks asked
"Anything? Well, I'd catch a shooting star, travel to outer space and fight space monsters" Finn replied
" I'd carve my face on the moon so the moon would look like my face!" Jake added
"And I would fly around the world to find new lands while possibly finding other dragons like me" Zyro added
"Yeah. We never really found out where you came from, Zyro" Finn said
"That's okay, bro. We'll get to that some other time" Zyro assured
"What would you do, Tree Trunks?" Finn asked Tree Trunks
" I would go pick an apple." the small elephant answered
"Lame" Finn said
Jake slaps Finn
"Dude. Don't hurt her feelings" Zyro whispered to him
"I'm sorry. I mean, it's just you pick apples every day." Finn apologized
"I'm with him. What kind of apple are you talking about, Tree Trunks" the white dragon asked
"This apple ain't like the apples that I pick. They say it's the apple of apples; rarest kind of all. Legends call it the Crystal Gem Apple" Tree Trunks explained
This caused Jake to spit the tea he was drinking on Finn
"Whoa. That is rare" Zyro said
"That sounds awesome!" the dog exclaimed
"Where is it?" asked Finn
"I've heard that it grows at the deepest end of the Evil Dark Forest." Tree Trunks informed them
"Oooh. I heard that place is home to many creatures that are very hostile to anyone that sets foot in there" Zyro said
"Whoo! Tree Trunks you gotta go pick that apple!" Finn said
"YEAH!" Jake yelled
"What? Me? Oh, no I'm just a cute little elephant. I'm not cut out for adventuring." Tree Trunks bashfully said
"Tree Trunks! This is your dream! Think about eating that apple with your own mouth." Finn said encouraging her
" Or your trunk." Jake added
"Not to mention the flavor when you taste that Crystal Gem Apple" Zyro added
" And your satisfied face." Jake said
"Really? You think I can handle the Scary Dark Forest?" Tree Trunks asked
"Yeah, and we'll help you." Finn said
"We know a thing or two about adventuring. We've done it all the time" Zyro added
" We love you, Tree Trunks." Jake said
" Okay. I'll do it. Call me... Adventurer Tree Trunks." Tree Trunks says
"Yeah, Tree Trunks!" the trio shouted
Finn, Jake, Zyro, and Tree Trunks were then walking through the Evil Dark Forest
" I love being so high up from the ground!" the elephant said as she was perched on Finn's head
"Psst, I can take you even higher on my shoulders." Jake offered as he stretched his body
"No, Jake. She has a weak heart." warned Finn
"Yeah man. I think she wants to be this high up" Zyro added
"Oh, yeah." Jake realized
They continued walking until they stepped on some kind of flesh
" Ewww, why is this ground all squishy?" Finn asked
"Hmmm. Must be some kind of fleshy like substance" Zyro said as he felt the flesh
"Whatever it is, I'm liking it. Oh, yeah!" Jake yelled as he pressed his tail on the flesh
Zyro then feels the flesh on his feet
"It feels like I'm walking through wet clay" he said
" I wanna try!" Tree Trunks
" Okay. I'm cool with you letting you do whatever you want." Finn said as he gets Tree Trunks off his head
He then sets her on the flesh. The little elephant begins to dance on the flesh
"Heeheehee! It's like some cookie dough!" she said
Suddenly, an eye comes up from the flesh. Tree Trunks turns and sees it
" Oh, hello there." she greeted
" Uhh, Tree Trunks, stay away from that." Finn advised
Suddenly, a wall of flesh appeared from behind the trio. Zyro turns and gasps as he saw it
"Guys, behind us!" he shouted
Finn and Jake turned and yelped as the wall knocked them back. Zyro was able to fly out of the way to avoid being attacked
"Ugh, you're gonna get it, wall of flesh." Finn growled
As the trio begin to attack the wall, Tree Trunks naively talked to it
"An eye and a mouth. Well, I think I got the perfect thing for him or her... stickers!" Tree Trunks said as she takes out some stickers from her basket
"Careful, Tree Trunks, this thing is evil." Finn warned
"Here's a rainbow sticker, and here's a scratch-and-sniff sticker. Smells just like a pickle. Oh, and this one is a holographic unicorn, but it doesn't have a horn." Tree Trunks said as she stuck each sticker on the wall of flesh
Zyro stopped attacking and looks at her
'What is she doing?' thought Zyro
Just then, the Wall of Flesh forms an arm and grabs Tree Trunks
"Oh, now, whatcha doing?" she asked
"Tree Trunks!" Zyro yelled before flying over and grabbing her "Gotcha!"
He then sets Tree Trunks on the ground and then breathes flame at the Wall of Flesh. The creature yelled in pain as it retreats inside a tree
"Whoo!" Jake cheered
"You better stay in that tree, baby." Finn said before turning to Zyro "Nice work with your flame breath, Zyro. You really stepped up"
"Don't mention it" Zyro said before turning to Tree Trunks "You okay, Tree Trunks?"
"I'm fine, Zyro. Thanks for asking" Tree Trunks replied
"Um, Tree Trunks were you putting stickers on that evil monster?" Finn asked
" Yes, I thought it needed some tender love and affection." Tree Trunks answered
"That's really sweet of you Tree Trunks, but this is very different when it comes to monsters" Zyro points out
Just then, a skeletal butterfly flew in
"Oh, what a pretty butterfly!" Tree Trunks said as she follows after it
"Tree Trunks? Ugh. Jake, Zyro, I just realized that Tree Trunks is old and bonkers. We can't take her through this Evil Dark Forest." Finn said as he was worried for her
"I'm afraid I have to agree with you, bro. It's just too dangerous" Zyro said feeling worried himself
" Nah, she'll be fine." Jake said
" But the monsters?" Finn asked
" It's fine. It's fine!" Jake stated
"Are you sure? 'Cause she has zero adventurer training." Finn pointed out
"Yeah. You saw what happened with the Wall of Flesh. Tree Trunks just put stickers on it while ignoring the fact that it wants to do her harm" Zyro said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine, she'll be fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine." Jake once again assured them
"Maybe it is fine. Tree Trunks?" laughed Finn as he looked around
" Where'd she go?" Jake asked
The trio then looked around
"Tree Trunks!" called Finn
"Hold on. I just saw Tree Trunks following after some kind of skeletal butterfly" Zyro said "And if I remembered correctly, she was heading that way"
He points to the left
"You sure, Zyro?" asked Jake
"Absolutely" Zyro said before flying in the air "Come on guys. Follow that elephant"
He then flew off
"Wait for us, bro!" Finn cried as he and Jake follow after him
Tree Trunks had just set a picnic with the skeletal butterfly. Unbeknownst to her, some evil post signs crept up behind her
"And here's your teacup, and here's my teacup." she said as she takes out two teacups
Zyro flew over with Finn and Jake close behind.
"There she is" Zyro said before gasping "And she's in trouble!"
"And here's your sandwich." Tree Trunks said as she offered an evil post sign a sandwich only for it to slap it away. "Oops, you dropped it."
"Tree Trunks, run!" shouted Finn
"Oh, hey, Finn. Hi, Zyro" greeted Tree Trunks
The evil post signs then noticed them. The trio then got into a battle stance
"Hiya!" Jake yelled
" Time to call your mamas, evil sign posts." Finn said
"Let's get em!" yelled Zyro
The trio then did battle with the evil post signs. They were practically cutting them up. Finn used his sword, Jake morphed part of his body into a pair scissors, and Zyro used his claws. The evil post signs all surrounded Tree Trunks
"Patience, boys. There's enough tea for everyone." Tree Trunks said
Seeing this, Finn rushes over and tries to get through them. One of the signs grabs Tree Trunks
"NO!" Finn bellowed as he shielded Tree Trunks while getting hit by the signs
"Oh, Finn. What a nice hug." Tree Trunks said
" I'm not hugging you! I'm trying to save your life! There's too many!" Finn yelled as his face gets jacked up
Zyro had just burned one of the signs with his flame breath while Jake attacks another sign
"Finn?!" Jake asked
"Oh no. We got to help them" Zyro said
"I got an idea" Jake said
He rushes over to Finn and Tree Trunks makes his body grow into a large ball while protecting Tree Trunks and Finn. This sends all of the evil signs flying and breaking into pieces. Jake then rolled through the forest with Zyro flying after them. Once Jake stopped rolling, he uncurls himself to free Finn and Tree Trunks and returns to normal. Zyro flies up to them.
"Wow. Nice work, Jake" Zyro said
Thanks, Zy" Jake replied
" Oh, Finn. That tea party was crummier than a big old biscuit." Tree Trunks said
"Errrr. Tree Trunks, I'm all jacked up because of you. Look at my jacked up face!" Finn said as he motions to his face
"Are you mad at me?" Tree Trunks asked as she gives him sad eyes
"No, I'm not mad. You're too super-cute for me to be mad at you, and you're a top notch adventurer." Finn said as he hugged Tree Trunks "Now, let's go find and eat the heck out of that crystal gem apple together."
Suddenly, a red creature called a Snake Armed Ruby Brain Beast appeared
"Oh come on!" Zyro yelled
"You guys go fight—I'll keep Tree Trunks out of trouble." Jake said
" Awesome." Finn said as he hands Tree Trunks to Jake and takes out his sword "Come on, Zyro"
"Right behind ya, bro" Zyro replied
The boy and the dragon begins to do battle with the brain beast
" J-Jake I think Finn is getting jacked up again." Tree Trunks said "And so will Zyro"
"Yeah, Finn can handle it. He's 12." Jake said "Though I don't know how old Zyro is"
" I think I know a way to help him out." Tree Trunks said
"Uhh, you should stay here, Tree Trunks." Jake reminded her
"But I thought Finn told me that I was a top notch adventurer. And my adventurer instincts tell me to seduce that tentacle critter with my womanly charms and elephant prowess." Tree Trunks said
"Uhh, no way." Jake refused
A few minutes later, Finn and Zyro were busy handling the Brain Beast. Tree Trunks then scurries in while wearing make up. She then attempts to seduce the brain beast
" Uh, what are you doing here, Tree Trunks?" Finn asked
"I'm helping you by tempting this guy with my body." Tree Trunks answered
"No offense, Tree Trunks, but I'm not sure that'll work" Zyro said as he swats some snakes away
" It's not a guy, Tree Trunks! It's a Snake Armed Ruby Brain Beast!" Finn points out
"Jake! You were supposed to watch her!" Finn called to Jake who is covered in kiss marks
"She got passed me, man. I tried to stop her, but she overpowered me." Jake replied
"Don't tell me. Tree Trunks kissed you so she can do this?" Zyro asked
"Uh uh" Jake answered
"GET her out of here!" Finn ordered
"Huh!? Uh oh!" Jake said as he rushed over
Jake then gets in front of Tree Trunks and grabs the snakes
"Finn! Zyro! Kill it!" the dog yelled
"What do you think we're trying to do!?" called Zyro
" We can't find it's magic gem weak spot!" Finn callled
The Brain Beast then turns it back to reveal the gem
"There it is!" Zyro said "Go on, Finn. Slay it!"
"You got it!" Finn replied
And with a battle cry, Finn rushed over and slashes the gem vanquishing the Brain Beast
" I did it! I helped! I'm the sexiest adventurer in the world!" Tree Trunks said with a grin
Finn has had enough
"Tree Trunks! You're not an adventurer! You nearly got yourself killed again! Do you wanna die, Tree Trunks?! Is that what you think adventurers do?! Die and make all their friends feel terrible 'cause they couldn't save them?!" he snapped
This caused Tree Trunks to burst into tears
"Whoa, man." Jake said
"That was harsh" Zyro added
" I'm going home now." Tree Trunks sobbed as she walks away
Finn felt bad for what he had said
"Ugh... Tree Trunks. Tree Trunks!" he called to her
"Don't follow me" Tree Trunks said before walking off
Zyro watches the elephant leave before glaring at Finn
"Way to go, Finn. You just hurt Tree Trunks' feelings" he scolded
"I didn't mean to snap at her. I was just worried for her." Finn said as he sat down "Man, I feel horrible. I was only yelling because I care about her safety."
"That's what happens when you care too much, dude." Jake said as he was balancing Finn's sword on his nose
"Especially when someone's a little overprotective" Zyro pointed out
"OH!"
This got the trio's attention
"Come on guys!" Zyro said
The trio rushes through the forest to look for Tree Trunks
"Tree Trunks!" the trio called before noticing something "Huh!"
In front of them was Tree Trunks along with a crystal tree
"Finn, I found the crystal gem apple." she said as he gestured to the crystal gem apple on the tree. The brothers raced up to him
"Whoa" Zyro said "Good job, Tree Trunks"
"Woohoo!" Finn cheered
"You're the man, Tree Trunks!" Jake praised
"Tree Trunks, I'm a huge butt guy for getting mad at you. I'm a huge fart. I was only upset because... I love you and I don't wanna see you get hurt." Finn said as he apologized to Tree Trunks
"That's precious, Finn, and I'll accept your apology if you let me kiss your cheek." Tree Trunks said
" Uhhhh, I don't know, I-" Finn said nervously
"Whoa! Let her kiss your cheek, man. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Jake said
"Yeah, bro. No need to get nervous" Zyro added
Then a distorted voice was heard. Out came a crystal guardian with each of the brothers' heads on it
"Yeah, bro. No need to get nervous" Crystal Guardian Zyro said
"Whoa! Let her kiss your cheek, man. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." added Crystal Guardian Jake
"Uhhhh, I don't know..." Crystal Guardian Finn said nervously
"A crystal guardian! Tree Trunks, stay out of the monster battle this time. I don't want you getting hurt." Finn warned
"Yeah. We'll take care of it" Zyro added
"Alright, I promise I will." Tree Trunks promised
"Radical! Back off you!" Finn said to the Crystal Guardian
"Back off you!" repeated Crystal Guardian Finn
"Stop copying me! Grrah!" Finn yelled as he charges in
" Stop copying me! Grrah!" repeated Crystal Guardian Finn as it charges also
Both Finn and the Crystal Guardian's fist collided, but it caused Finn's fist to get hurt. Finn yelled in pain as he held his hand
"Finn! Graw!" Jake growled as he stretched his body
"Graw!" repeated Crystal Guardian Jake as he stretches too
Both of them attempted to headbutt each other, but this resulted in hurting Jake
" Ow! Ow." Jake yelled in pain
"You okay, Jake?" asked Zyro
"Yeah I guess" Jake replied
"Yeah I guess" repeated Crystal Guardian Jake
"You okay, Jake?" repeated Crystal Guardian Zyro
"Hey. Quit it!" Zyro yelled
"Hey Quit it!" Crystal Guardian Zyro repeated
Zyro charges in along with the Crystal Guardian. Zyro attempts to smack it, but the Crystal Guardian Zyro did the same. Zyro ended up getting hurt before limping back
"Oooh. That Crystal Guardian is a lot stronger. And sharper too" he said
"He's copying everything we do." Finn said
"How are we going to beat it?" Zyro asked
Tree Trunks was sitting by picking some mushrooms when she noticed the skeletal butterfly flying by
" Hey! It's my butterfly-friend. That's precious" she said as she begins to dance
Then a few more butterfly flies by. The trio noticed this
"Whoo! Shake it, Tree Trunks!" Jake said
"Whoo! Shake it, Tree Trunks!" Crystal Guardian Jake repeated
The Crystal Guardian then morphs into Tree Trunks and begins to dance
"Gem-clam! Let's beat it up while it's copying Tree Trunks!" Finn said
"Guys wait!" Zyro yelled
But Finn and Jake were already charging at the Crytal Guardian. But the Crystal Guardian knocks them back. They land by Zyro
" Crud, this is barf dude." Jake complained
"Your plan didn't work. We need to beat it in a different way." Zyro said "One that doesn't involve fighting"
Finn looks between Tree Trunks dancing and the Crystal Guardian Tree Trunks dancing
"Oh, man, I'm a total moron! We gotta fight this one Tree Trunks style." Finn said
" I'll get the make up." Jake said
The trio had just put make up on their faces and begin to dance with Tree Trunks. Jake then stretched up while carrying Tree Trunks with Zyro flying up. The Crystal Guardian copied them
"Hey! Crystal Guardian, are you okay with Tree Trunks taking a bite of that apple?" Finn asked
" I'm okay with it." Jake said
" I'm okay with it." Crystal Guardian Jake repeated
"Yeah. I say go for it" Zyro said
"Yeah. I say go for it" Crystal Guardian Zyro repeated
"And I'm stupid." Jake said
"And I'm stupid" Crystal Guardian Jake repeated
"Heh-heh, you heard the guardian, TT. Bite that thing." Jake said as he stretches his arm so that Tree Trunks can get to the Crystal Gem Apple
"Okay" Tree Trunks said as she took a bite
"Whoo! How's it taste, Tree Trunks?" Finn asked
"Yeah! How is it?" asked Jake
"Does it taste good?" Zyro asked
A few seconds later, Tree Trunks exploded leaving the trio and the Crystal Guardian shocked.
"Whoa. Did not see that coming" Zyro said
"Whoa. Did not see that coming" Crystal Guardian Zyro repeated
What they all didn't know was that Tree Trunks was walking through a crystal background while laughing happily.
So sorry it took so long. I was occupied with other stories and other things. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
