A/N: And for today's episode, we have, "The Jiggler"! But things would be a little bit different with Betty involved. Plus, we finally get more screentime with Mille and Callie. :)
Adventure Time with Finn, Jake, & Rachel
Chapter 11: The Jiggler
One day, Finn, Jake, Rachel, Mille (now in her casual clothing), Callie, and Betty were now walking away from an unknown, burning city.
Finn: Baby!
Jake: "Ooo!"
Finn: I know what you need.
Rachel: "What's that?"
Finn: You want your little baby socks, for your little baby feet.
Jake: Woo!
Finn: Baby!
Mille: Yeah?
Finn: I know what you crave.
Callie: Oh, yeah? What's that?
Finn: You want to poop your pants all day long. Well, baby behave!
"That sounds mathematical, Finn!", Rachel beamed.
"How are you singing like that?", Betty asked.
"Remember when I swallowed that little computer?", Finn responded.
"Oh, yeah.", Jake responded.
"Yeah, you kinda had to be there for that one...", Mille said.
Then, the group of four arrived at a small house and dropped off fruits and a string of sausages at the doorstep.
"Alright, Stanley. You and your family are safe... Again...", Finn sighed as if it wasn't the first time this happened.
"Seriously, Stanley. For a watermelon you get into trouble way more often than you should.", Jake added.
Then, they now walked across the Grass Lands and Jake whistled.
"So, how was your date with Dad?", Rachel asked just as a small creature rolled up behind them and whistled.
"It was great. Better than I expected, even. In fact, Simo... er, Ice King proposed to me and I said yes!", Betty squeaked.
"WHOA! REALLY?!", Finn, Jake, Rachel, Mille, and Callie reacted in surprise just as the small creature rolled closer.
"YES, REALLY!", Betty shouted in response before moving in closely and whispering.
"Just... be sure to act surprised when he comes to tell you guys, okay?", Betty whispered.
They nodded. But when they did, the small creature knocked Jake off his feet by rolling in from behind him.
"W-whoa!", Jake exclaimed, falling backwards.
"What the... Shmow-zow! Look at that!", Finn exclaimed excitedly.
"Aw. It looks so cute...", Rachel beamed.
"And it whistles pretty good, too.", Betty added.
"That... is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.", Jake added.
"And it seems like he loves your baby song.", Callie guessed.
"You should sing some more of it, Finn.", Mille grinned.
"All right.", Finn agreed before singing as the small creature danced along to the song.
Finn: Baby! You lookin' so good.
You lookin' like you might... want some baby food.
"Keep it going, man!", Jake laughed.
Finn: Baby! You lookin' so fine.
You lookin' like you might... just start cryin'.
"Yeah!", Jake laughed.
"Dude! This guy... is a pal for life! It looks like he's got two jiggly bellies stuck together.", Finn said, examining the small creature.
"I've got that on my back. I call it my butt.", Jake stated as he turned around, allowing the small creature to jiggle Jake's butt.
"Whoa!", Jake exclaimed, making Finn, Rachel, Callie, and Mille laugh.
"He's the Jiggler.", Finn grinned.
"You are just the best thing ever.", Rachel said, caressing and hugging the Jiggler, even gently pressing it against her face cheek.
"Let's take the Jiggler back to the house and just stick him by our bed so we can wake up...", Finn began.
"Next to a little dancing guy every morning!", Finn and Jake said in unison.
"PUT THAT IDEA OUT OF YOUR MINDS, RIGHT NOW! Guys, look. I love this cute little critter, too, but we don't know the first thing on how to properly take care of it without any risks.", Rachel warned.
"She's right. Who knows what could happen if we...", Betty began only to notice that Finn and Jake were already gone with the jiggler.
"They already left.", Mille stated.
Betty and Rachel turned to see them heading toward the tree fort.
Finn: I gotta tuck you in, girl.
I gotta sing you sweet melodies about babies. Yeah!
"Little baby feet!", Jake shouted.
Rachel groaned in annoyance before sighing.
"I just hope that nothing happens to that little guy...", Rachel spoke in worry.
Soon, the adventurers, Betty included in their present company, arrived back inside the Tree Fort.
"Welcome to your new home. Feast your eyes on... everything!", Finn introduced, carrying the Jiggler on his back.
The Jiggler just whistled, seemingly impressed with the decor of the house.
"Nice, huh?", Finn asked before the Jiggler whistled in response.
Rachel then cast a spell to make an ice toothbrush.
"What are you doing?", Mille asked.
"Well, if the Jiggler's staying here, he's at least gonna need a toothbrush of his own. That way, when he leaves, he'd have something to remember us by.", Rachel replied.
Then, she handed the toothbrush to the Jiggler.
"Here you go. It's for your teeth. It's very important to brush them after every meal. Like so.", Rachel said before then miming how she brushes her teeth.
"Now, do what I do. And be sure to get the ones in the back. These are very hard to do.", Rachel responded.
In response, the Jiggler swished the toothbrush around the inside of its mouth.
"That's right! You got it.", Rachel grinned.
While this all happened, Betty gave a concerned look for the Jiggler.
"Enough hygiene. Let's get to it!", Jake spoke, putting a record into a phonograph.
With that, music played and the Jiggler began to dance while holding its toothbrush.
"Yeah! Toothbrush dance. This is cool!", Finn laughed.
"Ah... dang it, why not?", Rachel sighed before she started dancing along, too.
They all started dancing together as Finn and Jake copied the Jiggler's moves. But when Rachel noticed how Finn and Jake were starting to get more destructive as they went along, she stopped and managed to freeze some things over to be sure they don't break. She even cast a snow cloud above the tree fort, much to Mille and Callie's wonder before they rushed out and started playing in the snow, starting with making snow angels. At the same time, Jake kicked a table aside while dancing while Finn flipped the freezer over.
"Yeah!", Finn shouted.
At this point, Finn and Jake just pushed more objects aside while dancing and laughing. But Rachel turned and saw how worried Betty still looked. This, in turn, made her worried, too.
Soon, it was already nighttime.
"Dance... dance... dance...", Finn yawned.
"Well, they're pooped.", Rachel said.
"All right, Finn. Sounds like you've worn yourself out with all this dancing. Maybe you need to rest for the night.", Betty advised before Finn snapped upright.
"I'm not tired! How about you, Jake?", Finn asked, turning to notice Jake sleeping on the floor.
Seeing little to no point in arguing against it, Finn grabbed the Jiggler and climbed the ladder.
"Maybe we should go upstairs.", Finn said, picking the Jiggler up.
"I think I'll turn in, too.", Rachel yawned before turning to her mother.
"Well, it was kinda fun, Mom. Good night.", Rachel said.
"Good night, Rae-Rae. I'll see you in the morning.", Betty said before she flew away.
"Goodbye!", Rachel waved before heading upstairs.
Finn placed the Jiggler in his bed with Mille and Callie already asleep.
"You can have the comfiest spot on the bed. Goodnight.", Finn said before whistling.
The Jiggler whistled back before Finn blew out the candle and curled up on the end of his bed with Rachel curling up into a ball in her usual bed as well.
The next morning, Rachel woke up with a yawn and turned to the Jiggler.
"Okay, Jiggler. Time to drop you... off?", Rachel puzzled.
When Rachel woke up, she already noticed that the Jiggler was already gone.
"Huh? Where'd he go?", Rachel puzzled.
Meanwhile, Jake was making tea.
"Let's get this party started!", Finn shouted with his synthesizer voice, earning Jake's laughter.
"Sounds like Finn and Jake are awake already. Maybe he's already found him?", Rachel puzzled before heading downstairs herself.
She got downstairs just as Finn asked Jake something.
"Where's the little guy?", Finn asked.
"Over there.", Jake replied, pointing with his cup.
When Rachel turned and saw the Jiggler, it was face-down on the back of a bench, weakly groaning.
"Oh, no, Jiggler...!", Rachel gasped in worry.
"Hey, pal. You ready to cut loose? Wake and shake, buddy. Let's do this thing!", Finn ushered before whistling.
But the Jiggler just whistled pathetically.
"Slam-a-cow! That fool looks rumped.", Jake spoke in worry.
"What do you mean?", Finn asked.
"Just look at it, Finn. He's clearly not doing so well.", Mille explained.
"I don't even know how he got so sick.", Callie added.
"Aww... I bet he just needs some breakfast after a night of extraordinary jiggling. Hey! Let's combine everything we can find in the kitchen... and have the Jiggler drink it! That'll wake him up! And then we can... Get doooowwwn!", Finn advised, finishing with his synthesizer voice.
"That's not how it works, Finn.", Rachel spoke in worry as the Jiggler whistled pathetically again.
"We could at least try. Maybe we could start by giving him some, uh... purple whatevers.", Finn suggested.
"You mean the grapes?", Jake asked as Finn got one out and ate it.
"Yeah. Whatever.", Finn responded.
Finn then fed the Jiggler a grape and the Jiggler swallowed it.
"Huh.", Rachel said.
"Well, it seems good so far.", Callie said.
All of a sudden, the Jiggler's body contorted and it made a strange humming noise.
"That doesn't sound good.", Jake commented in worry.
Suddenly, the Jiggler's body violently changed color and shape.
All 5 screamed in fright at the sight before the jiggler stopped contorting and changing color, going back to normal.
Jake took a look at one of the Jiggler's holes as it leaked a pink juice.
"Uh, you think we... think we fed the wrong hole?", Jake asked, flipping the Jiggler upside-down.
"I don't think that's it, Jake. Grapes are clearly not working for it.", Callie stated.
"What we need to do is figure out what he likes to eat.", Finn explained.
Later, Finn drew several pictures, one of which was Stanley the watermelon with eyes and a tie.
"Here, Jiggler. What kind of food do you like? Meat? Some banana? This looks like corn... I think. Uh... hot dog. Stanley the watermelon.", Finn spoke as he drew them before showing them to the Jiggler.
"Look! Jake! He likes it!", Finn grinned.
Surprisingly, the Jiggler reached up and pulled the drawings right off of the paper.
"Whaaaaat?!", Rachel, Mille, and Callie gasped.
"Wow!", Finn gasped.
"No way!", Jake exclaimed before the Jiggler slurped the drawings into its mouth and ate them.
"His favorite food... is drawings! Awesome!", Finn grinned.
"Well, it seems like it's working. All the same, I think I got an idea.", Rachel said before she went to where the blank paper is.
"Holy fig, that's awesome! What food are you drawing now?", Jake asked.
"I'm drawing a picture of you.", Finn replied, drawing Jake, as well as the word bubble that says inside, "I'm stupid.".
"Well, don't feed it me!", Jake exclaimed, distressed.
Finn just laughed and offered the drawing to the Jiggler.
"Come on. Eat him up, Jiggler!", Finn offered.
The Jiggler slurped the drawing off of the paper in anticipation, but Jake pulled him away before he can eat it.
"No!", Jake shouted.
The drawing of Jake then floated towards them, prompting him to run away with the Jiggler.
"Ahhh! Keep it away! Shoo! Shoo! No...!", Jake shouted before screaming just as Rachel finished her drawing.
"Finn, stop messing with him!", Rachel warned as Finn grabbed the drawing.
"Alright. Alright. I got it. Calm down... I'll eat it. Ahhhhh.", Finn spoke, opening his mouth.
"No!", Rachel shouted, zapping her ice magic just near Finn, making him react.
"That's even worse, dude!", Rachel scolded.
"Yeah! You eating me is just as bad as the Jiggler eating me.", Jake added as he snatched the drawing away from Finn.
"Well... You gonna eat yourself, tough guy?", Finn asked.
"Yes. If that is what must be done.", Jake replied before chewing the drawing of himself and swallowed.
"I taste awesome.", Jake said sadly before he and Finn laughed.
"Let me try something.", Rachel said before showing the jiggler her drawing.
"Okay, Jiggler. This is a picture of me and my family. Do you happen to know where your family is? We need to take you back home before things get worse for...", Rachel began before the Jiggler only peeled the drawings out of Rachel's paper.
"You...", Rachel finished before the jiggler only ate them.
At first, this saddened Rachel to the point of shedding tears, but then, she groaned in frustration.
"Ok. Alright. Now, let's get back to some jiggling!", Finn spoke up.
"I'll get the tunes!", Jake added, prepping some tunes, unaware that the Jiggler was shaking and whimpering.
"Uh, I don't know if this is the best idea right now, guys...", Rachel groaned in worry.
But Finn and Jake were already dancing.
"Like this. Yeah! Woo! Come on, Jiggler! Wiggle and whistle!", Finn shouted.
"Yeah, Jiggler. Go nuts! Go nuts like there's bugs on your butts!", Jake added.
"I don't know, guys. That doesn't look right.", Mille replied in worry as the Jiggler, looking sick, only shook its head.
And then, all of a sudden, pink juice spurted out of the hole on the top of its head and it collapsed, shocking Rachel, Mille, and Callie.
"Whoa!", Jake exclaimed as Finn gasped and the music stopped.
"Jiggler?", Finn asked.
"What the heck? What's wrong with him?", Jake asked.
"That's what we're trying to find out!", Rachel responded.
"Uh... There's nothing wrong with him.", Finn fibbed in panic.
"'Nothing wrong with him?!' It just barfed all over the floor!", Callie barked in retortion.
"We just gotta plug up his holes.", Finn said before he stuck his finger into the hole that was gushing juice.
"See? That worked. Ready to jiggle again, little guy?", Finn asked.
But the juice gushed from a different hole right onto Callie.
"Whoa!", Finn exclaimed.
"Oh, man...", Jake groaned.
He plugged up the hole that was leaking while Callie tasted the juice.
"Hey. It tastes like raspberry juice.", Callie stated.
But then, another hole started to leak.
"Quick! We gotta plug those holes!", Finn urged, plugging the new hole with his finger.
Jake walked away and juice gushed all over Finn.
"Jake, hurry!", Finn shouted.
"All I could find was your glass eye collection!", Jake urged.
"What about your eyepatch collection?", Callie asked.
"Aw, man. They're in mint condition.", Jake groaned.
"Jake!", Mille, Rachel, Finn, and Callie exclaimed.
Hurriedly, Jake ran over to the group with glass eyes and eyepatches.
"Alright! Coming!", Jake shouted.
Hurriedly, they all started plugging up the Jiggler's holes with glass eyes and eyepatches.
"One... more... patch! Finished.", Jake sighed as he put one more eyepatch on the Jiggler.
"So, how's the damage?", Rachel asked.
"Full disclosure? He looks terrible.", Mille said in worry.
"Finn, I know you don't want to hear this, but I think we should cut our losses and bring this fella back to where we found him.", Jake said.
"I'm afraid he's right. It's clear we can't take care of the little guy properly.", Rachel sadly agreed.
"We can't just abandon him. Look at him, guys. He needs us now more than ever.", Finn said.
"Is THIS what he needs?!", Rachel shouted, gesturing to the mess.
"The way things are now, it seems like you need him a lot more than he needs you.", Rachel retorted, shocking Finn.
Before anymore reactions could be exchanged, the Jiggler swelled and then exploded, spraying pink juice everywhere.
"JIGGLER!", Finn shouted.
"NO!", Rachel shouted at the same time.
The Jiggler's body stretched in every direction and draped the inside of the Tree Fort like taffy.
"Oh... Finn. Ok...", Jake began before Finn let out a distressed shout.
"Our pet exploded.", Jake added before Finn let out another distressed scream.
"What are we gonna do now?!", Mille asked in concern.
"Maybe we can... scrape him up! And... eyuhh...", Jake groaned, noticing the jiggler's head weakly going down.
"Oh, holy moly! Don't worry, Jiggler. We'll fix you.", Finn assured before he whistled.
The Jiggler tried to whistle back but was only able to make raspberry noises in his condition.
"Let's gather him up, Jake. He's all over the place!", Finn urged.
"Yeah, even between the floorboards!", Rachel agreed.
"And the cupboards!", Callie added as she checked them.
"And the galoshes!", Mille added.
"I wonder... Where's his heinie?", Jake puzzled.
Then, he looked over and saw the Jiggler's heinie on their phonograph.
"Found it! Come here, you!", Jake urged.
But the Jiggler's heinie jumped away and ran around.
"Hey!", Jake shouted before he, Finn, Rachel, Mille, and Callie gathered all of the Jiggler and brought him together.
"Come on. Let's put him back together.", Finn urged.
"Ok.", Jake agreed.
Then, they huddled together in a big hug, thanks in part to Jake.
"Squeeze real hard. He's slipping!", Finn urged as he and the others hugged with the Jiggler at the center of them.
"Got him!", Jake shouted.
The Jiggler then got pressed back into a globular mass.
"That could've went better...", Rachel sighed.
"Well, at least he's all in one piece.", Jake responded.
But the Jiggler collapsed.
"Sheesh. You think he's dead?", Jake asked worriedly.
"No way! I won't let you die, guy! Not this time.", Finn panicked before he blew into various holes on the Jiggler's head and then kissed it.
"Finn. Stop it, man. What are you doing?", Finn asked.
"I'm kissing him! What do you think? It's all I could think to do.", Finn spoke sadly.
"Just put him down.", Jake instructed.
Finn sadly laid him down and the Jiggler made kissing motions with its lips.
Then, the Jiggler began leaving many different colored kiss-marks on the floor, much to Rachel's astonishment just as Betty arrived.
"Well, it looks like I missed a lot.", Betty responded.
"Mom! You're here!", Rachel grinned.
"Of course I am. But... what is it doing?", Betty puzzled.
"He's kissing colors with his dying breath.", Finn sadly responded.
"No, that's not it. Look.", Rachel responded, pointing to the ground.
It turns out that the Jiggler has painted a picture with his colored kiss-marks.
"I think he's trying to tell us something. Finn, this looks like it could be his Mama Jiggler.", Jake guessed.
As if to confirm this, the Jiggler crawled up to the image of its mother and hugged it, whistling.
Then, FInn had a horrible realization.
"We took this child away from its mama, Jake. We're kidnappers and murderers! I just wanted to have fun and jiggle!", Finn panicked.
"This is exactly why I told you it's not a good idea to bring this little guy in! We had zero idea on how to look after him in the first place!', Rachel responded.
"Look, guys... Chill out, ok? We can fix this. Check it out.", Jake said, pointing to a house in the background of the image.
"His mom looks like she's out by Stanley's house... where we found the Jiggler.", Jake said.
"Hey..., you're right! She is!", Rachel said in relief.
"So, from what we're seeing, if we get him back to her, she'll be able to patch him up.", Betty guessed.
"Exactly!", Jake agreed.
Finn then picked up the Jiggler.
"Then there's no time to spare.", Finn urged.
"The sooner we return that little guy back to his home, the better.", Mille agreed.
Later, the gang of 6 returned to the Grass Lands, near where they found the Jiggler.
"Shhh. Just hold on a little longer, buddy.", Finn whispered, tending to him.
Just then, there was a whistling sound in the distance.
"Did you hear that? Whistling!", Jake exclaimed.
"We hear that, too.", Callie beamed.
Then, they all entered a cave.
"Perpendicular! It's the mama!", Finn beamed in amazement and relief as the Mama Jiggler and several babies were sitting and splashing in a pool of pink juice, which was pouring out of Mama Jiggler's holes.
The Jiggler stretched towards them and whistled sadly.
"Look! The little guy wants to go home!", Jake grinned.
"Well, let's hope it can work out.", Rachel grinned.
"Well. This is it, buddy.", Finn said, setting the Jiggler down.
"Be well.", Jake waved.
"Never abandon any of your dreams!', Mille added.
"And have a beautiful life!", Callie added.
But as the jiggler got closer, Betty took notice of the other jiggler babies, smelled the juice, and then smelled herself before gasping.
"YOU BRING THAT BABY BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!", Betty urged, shocking everyone.
"Wha?!", everyone puzzled.
"But why?", Mille puzzled.
The answer became clear as when Mama Jiggler sniffed it; she suddenly flew into a rage, screeching and changing colors.
"Hey! Stop that!", Finn shouted before fending off Mama Jiggler and carrying the Jiggler to safety.
"I don't understand. That crazy mama almost killed him.", Finn spoke in shock.
"He feels cold.", Jake said in worry.
"That's because the Jiggler's all out of juice.", Betty said.
"Juice?", Jake and Callie puzzled.
"I gamed it out. The baby has to have the same scent as its mother's juice. That's how wild animals know what's going on.", Betty explained.
Then, Jake widened his eyes.
"Oh! But this little guy's all drained out.", Jake realized.
"Exactly. And there's only one other danger to consider. The instant we charge in there, the mother jiggler would attack us on sight. So, we have to find some way to toss that baby into that pool. Once it lands in the pool, it should be revitalized back to perfect health.", Betty replied.
"We're gonna need a clear shot, though. So, you guys have to rush in and keep her distracted until then.", Rachel urged.
"Okay.", Mille nodded.
"Got it.", Callie added.
Then, Finn tearfully looked back at the Jiggler, who deflated a little.
"I loved you, baby. I hope you know that.", Finn said before turning back to Rachel and the others.
"Alright. Ok. We're on it. Rahhhh!", Finn shouted as he, Mille, and Callie dashed in.
"ROOOOOAAAAAR!", Jake roared, following them and growing into a massive size.
Immediately, the Mama Jiggler flew into a rage again and attacked them while they all dodged her attacks.
"Oh, math. Quick! Now's our chance! You ready?", Betty asked.
"Ready.", Rachel responded, holding the jiggler and getting ready to throw.
Meanwhile, while the rest dodged her feral attacks, Jake got up close to Mama Jiggler's face.
"You can't just attack your own kid. That's bad parenting, mama!", Jake scolded.
"Guys! Give me some room!", Rachel urged.
"Oh, man!", Jake said before moving just enough to allow Rachel a specific spot for the Jiggler to land in.
"WORD TO YOUR MOTHEEEERRRRR!", Rachel shouted, tossing the Jiggler toward the pool.
The Jiggler flew through the air and landed in the pool of juice. When it emerged from the pool, it now looked normal and began to whistle while Jake and the others backed off from Mama Jiggler. She picked it up and sniffed it. But this time, she held it against her cheek and they both whistled.
"We did it...!", Rachel sighed with a chuckle before collapsing backwards only to float via her flapping hair.
"Finally...!", Rachel added.
"Awww...", the others beamed.
"I hope you guys learned your lesson from all this.", Betty said as she led the way with Rachel following her before everyone else.
"I'll never kidnap again.", Finn vowed.
"You'd better not.", Mille responded.
"You said it!", Callie agreed.
"You're telling me. That was a nightmare.", Jake agreed.
A/N: And that concludes today's episode. While I can't say what the next episode would be like, I can tell you now that it's gonna be a big surprise to come.
