A/N: In this chapter, things might end a little bit differently. Thinking on it now, I think the ending for this episode could've gone a little better. It shouldn't have to be because Donny was forced into being a jerk. It should be his choice, even if the why-wolves are endangering the house people. So, I came up with a slightly better ending. You'd have to read this to find out what it is, though.
Adventure Time with Finn, Jake, & Rachel
Chapter 20: Donny
One day, Finn, Jake, and Rachel were in the tall tall grass.
"Safety!", Finn began as he moved his hand out the bush before jumping out. "Patrol!"
"Safety!", Rachel shouted, moving her hand out before jumping out next as well. "Patrol!"
"Safety!", Jake shouted as he moved his hand out the bush as well before jumping out, and while wearing a yellow life jacket, shoe-guards, and a traffic-cone-like hat while carrying both a fire extinguisher and a sign. "Patrol! Safety patrol! Safety—"
Then, Jake saw that neither Finn nor Rachel were wearing what Jake is.
"Oh... Were we not wearing the uniforms?", Jake asked.
"Let's just start lookin'. There could be hazards out there in places we least suspect. Like this one.", Rachel said, gesturing to a small town and making her ice binoculars and then giving it to Finn.
"Here.", Rachel said.
"Just looks like an ordinary little town, man.", Jake said.
"Yeah... Suspiciously ordinary.", Finn replied while looking through his binoculars, seeing the small town.
As he looked, he did see something. But it was nowhere near dangerous. If anything, it was an innocent sight for he saw a few people wearing houses as they spoke to each other as a dog house passed by them, barking.
"Oh! Little house people!", Finn said.
"Really? Can I take a look?", Rachel asked.
When she looked she beamed with widened eyes.
"Oh, they even have a cute little dog house!", Rachel squeaked.
"Maybe it is just regular ordinary, not sinister ordinary—oh, no, wait... Grass ogre.", Finn said, finally noticing something bad in the form of a jerk-like grass ogre holding a chicken up.
"Haha! Hey, chicken, you're travelin' egg-spress!", the grass ogre laughed as he put said chicken in the mailbox.
"Ugh. He's definitely an obnoxious grass ogre.", Rachel commented.
"You get my joke, right?! Hahaha!", the grass ogre asked to another chicken he's now holding up with laughter.
"Careful, you oaf! Those chickens are rentals!", the barn house warned only to have an egg fired at him.
"We're havin' so much fun, huh?!", the grass ogre spoke as he was now using said chicken to make it spew eggs.
"Drop that chicken!", the jail house ordered before the grass ogre stopped, puzzled.
"You're under arrest!", the Jail House spoke before the grass ogre went over and dropped the chicken. "Good... Now get in your tiny cell..."
But the grass ogre only picked the jail house person up and laid him down on his back, earning himself another round of laughter.
"Hey, ogre! Stop hazing these cute little houses!", Finn shouted.
"Ya jerkball!", Jake added.
"I don't think jerkball does him any justice.", Rachel added.
"My name is Donny, idiot!", Donny introduced harshly.
"Sorry. I was just tryina' get your attention.", Finn responded.
"What kinda houses are you supposed to be? A... stupid... uh... a dumb house?! Haha!", Donny said.
"Come on, man. That was uncalled for!", Rachel glared.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be cold? Get it? 'Cause you have blue skin!", Donny snarked before laughing.
"Hey! I AM cold. Just literally speaking.", Rachel responded.
"Whatever. Hey, what's with your jowl?!", Donny said before flicks Jake's jowl.
"Ow!"
"Hahaha! I'm gonna mess with these housies some more.", Donny said, about to walk away and make good on his deed.
But neither Finn nor Rachel would have it.
"NEVER!", Finn and Rachel shouted before the latter froze Donny by the legs.
"What the...?!", Donny began before Finn jumped on his back, attempting to stop him.
"So you wanna wrestle, huh? 'Cause I know, like, this ninja move to get out of this lock instantly! Okay... Now, first I...", Donny began only for Finn to squeeze him. "Hey! You're doin' it wrong!"
Jake wiggled his finger and stretched one of them out.
"Whoa."
"You're doin' it wrong!", Finn accused.
"Whaddaya mean?", Donny asked.
"First, you roll your right shoulder forward...", Finn said before Donny then did so and picked Finn up.
"Like this?"
"Yeah, but then I counter it by doin' this!", Finn said before he grabbed Donny again and squeezed yet again.
"Hey!"
From this, Donny began to pant heavily.
"Um... You need to take a break?", Finn asked.
"You could take a breather if you want.", Rachel added.
"No... but if you need to, we can stop... Ya baby.", Donny said as Finn got off.
"Whoa, I zoned out there for a bit. Did you win?", Jake asked.
"At this point, it was more of a draw.", Rachel added.
"Nah. Just takin' five. Donny's pretty good.", Finn replied.
"Yeah, well, you two're okay, too.", Donny said.
"Thanks, man.", Finn thanked.
"Yeah, thanks.", Rachel agreed.
"...For a complete idiot and a fatso!", Donny only added jerkishly.
"Aww...", Finn groaned before Donny laughed again.
"Hey! 1, Finn's not an idiot! And 2, what I am right now? That's not a fatso. THIS is a fatso.", Rachel retorted before touching the tip of her tiara, causing her body to swell and grow until she was about as big as she was during the businessmen incident.
"Ta-da!", Rachel grinned.
But Donny only went blank, having ceased his laughter from seeing Rachel's current state.
"I don't get it.", Donny said.
"Well, you're gonna get it.", Rachel retorted before lunging onto the grass ogre, squishing him.
"Hey! You're squishing me...!", Donny wheezed.
"Oh, you feel so good under me...! No, seriously. You do.", Rachel grinned.
Suddenly, she picked up a whiff straight from Donny and sniffed it in, making her widen her eyes in surprise.
"Huh. And you smell so good, too. Donny, did you know you smell like mint?", Rachel asked.
Donny then quickly rolled Rachel off him, much to her surprise.
"I was just kiddin' around, but then you took it too far! You guys are the real jerks!", Donny said before mumbling, scoffing, and running off.
"Okay, maybe squishing him underneath was a bit much. But at least I know he doesn't smell too bad.", Rachel said, using her tiara to revert back to normal.
"Donny is one mixed-up dude.", Jake commented.
"Nah. He's just rough-and-tumble, like me, but deep down, he's probably really sensitive, like me.", Finn assured.
"Hence Donny being a mixed-up dude.", Rachel commented.
"Hey, Donny!", Finn called.
"What?", Donny asked.
"I was thinkin' that since you're a pretty good wrestler, maybe you'd wanna hang out with a couple a' rascals like me, Rae-Rae, and Jake!", Finn
"What?", Jake asked in worry.
"Finn, are you sure that's a good idea?", Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I'm with her, dude.", Jake agreed.
"Yeah. Because...", Finn began before whispering into her ear, making her a bit surprised before she spoke.
"Oh. Okay.", Rachel said.
"I'm still not so sure, man.", Jake said.
"Muuuh... I don't know. Messin' with these housies is pretty fun. You got somethin' better?", Donny asked.
"If you come to the Tree Fort, we got video games and apple juice!", Finn offered.
"Really?! I mean... Fine. If it keeps you from cryin'...", Donny said eagerly, although pulling back and pretending not to care.
"Hah. The only one who's gonna be cryin' is you when I'm through with you.", Rachel said obnoxiously as she suddenly grew a foot taller, much to Finn and Jake's surprise before widening her eyes a bit with a gasp.
"Oh. A little challenge, eh? Well, consider it accepted as soon as we get to that fort.", Donny said.
"Uh..., okay! What did I just say?", Rachel asked.
"I don't think that's what we're surprised about.", Jake said.
"Yeah, you even got a little bit bigger just now, too.", Finn added.
She then noticed how big she got.
"Whoa, I did?!", Rachel asked.
"It happened just as you were talking smack to him.", Jake explained.
"Whoa... I never knew I even could talk smack like that. I'd better call Mom and Dad to be on the safe side. They might know what might be going on with me.", Rachel said.
"And while they're at it, maybe they could help straighten Donny out as insurance, too.", Jake added.
"Donny's problem is that he's treated like an outsider, like me.", Finn said.
"You are not an outsider. You wear cute little blue shorts!", Jake retorted.
"I... am complicated.", Finn said.
"Sure you are.", Rachel playfully retorted while waiting for the call before a voice spoke up.
"Hello?", Betty's voice spoke.
"Hey, Mom.", Rachel said.
"Rae-Rae? Is that you?", Betty gasped in pleasant surprise.
"Yep. It's me. Listen. Can you bring Dad over to the tree fort?", Rachel asked.
Later, the trio were now at the Tree Fort, introducing Simon, Betty, Mille, and Callie to Donny.
"A grass ogre? My, my, my. I may've read about these creatures, but I haven't seen one of these in person since... well, forever.", Simon said.
"Maybe he looks like he'd been through a rough patch, but he looks kinda, uh...", Betty began.
"I'm not sure how I feel about having a grass ogre in our tree fort.", Mille said, unsure.
"Yeah. Especially when he looks jerky.", Callie concurred.
"Uh... This fort isn't so great. Not as cool as the fort I'm gonna build. I call this chair!", Donny said, about to sit in the chair only to quickly meet with some competition in the form of Rachel.
"Uh, uh, uh. I believe I called this chair.", Rachel said.
"Really? Since when?", Donny asked.
"Since my hand touched it. Therefore, I'm sitting there.", Rachel said.
"No, you're not.", Donny argued, trying to push her off, but to no avail.
"Yes, I am.", Rachel argued, starting to grow bigger in height again as Simon and Betty, seeing this, gasped in a bit of surprise, as did Mille and Callie.
"No, you're not!", Donny argued, pushing her back.
"Yes..., I... AM!", Rachel shouted as her skin started to turn green before she shoved Donny out of the chair and onto the floor, shocking everyone else who gasped.
"Fine! Whatever. I'll sit on this floor. Hmph.", Donny said before sitting down.
Eventually, Rachel became stunned with what just happened, too.
"Huh? Wh-what did I just do?", Rachel asked in surprise.
"That's what we were gonna ask you.", Betty said.
"Where did this obnoxious behavior come from?", Simon asked.
"I don't know. Ever since we met him, I've been feeling kinda weird.", Rachel said.
"Hmm... I might have a theory. First, I'll need to take a sample.", Simon suggested.
"How about my spit?", Rachel asked obnoxiously before then sticking her tongue with some salvia leaking out and dangling on her tongue.
Then, she widened her eyes and became worried, her tongue still out.
"Sorry, Dad. Seriously, though.", Rachel apologized, her tongue still out.
"Huh. Well, that sample would be nice, actually. Fortunately, I keep these important items around for such an occasional emergency.", Simon grinned, getting out and putting on his gloves before getting out two sample plates, one to place Rachel's spit on and the other to squish and flatten it.
"And it beats having to take your blood sample, that's for sure.", Betty said.
"Yeah. By a huge margin.", Rachel responded before becoming a bit baffled. "Wait, what?"
"Hey, Donny, you and Rae-Rae should play Bug Battle.", Finn suggested.
"And hey, can you put on some pants?!", Jake asked, putting the game inside BMO.
"You put on some pants!", Donny retorted.
"I have pants... spun from spiderwebs... by pixies.", Jake explained, grabbing the translucent pants.
"While you do that, I'm gonna look into this situation and figure out what's going on.", Simon assured as he left.
"Okay, Dad.", Rachel said, picking up her own game controller.
"Hope you're ready to eat it, Donny.", Rachel smirked.
"Yeah? Well, same to you.", Donny responded.
Then, the game started.
"Okay. There's you, and here come the bugs.", Finn said.
Donny and Rachel then both destroyed the bugs in the game. He even started laughing. But suddenly, a spider dropped from above and killed his video game character while Rachel managed to move her video game character out of the way and slay the spider, taking it to the black screen with the words, "Player 2 Wins".
"Huh?!", Donny said in shock.
"Oh, yeah. Those guys'll get ya.", Finn said.
"Hah! I told ya you'd eat it.", Rachel smirked.
Furious at the loss, Donny broke his controller.
"Urgh! This game cheats!", Donny shouted, throwing controller parts right at BMO, knocking it down, making Mille and Callie gasp.
"For shame, Donny! For shame!", Callie glared.
"Not cool, dude.", Jake scolded.
"Yeah, that one's a bit much.", Rachel winced.
"Have more apple juice. It always makes me feel better when I—", Finn began before Donny splashed the apple juice in Finn's face, making Rachel gasp. "Aaah! Donny! Quit being a jerk!"
Angry, Finn began to push against Donny, the incident already beginning to make Rachel smile.
"What? What'd I do?", Donny asked before Rachel snickered, trying hard not to giggle inconsiderately.
"Sorry, Finn...! I'm trying... not to laugh... so hard...!", Rachel snickered.
"Finn, I don't think this is gonna work.", Jake said in worry.
"I am incapable of all emotion... but you are making me chafed!", BMO glared.
"BMO's not the only one, Finn.", Mille added.
"Yeah, he's a big jerk!", Callie added.
"Everybody's gettin' mad at me for nothin'!", Donny said.
"You have to think about how your actions make other people feel.", Betty explained as she walked up to him.
"Ohh. Hmm. I don't understand at all.", Donny admitted.
"How about I put this short? You being jerky makes people sad, angry, and mad.", Rachel responded bluntly.
"What? No! I mean... right?", Donny asked.
"You, my friend, need to learn some empathy.", Callie suggested.
"Ooh! That's it! Teach him that little empathy song I taught you, Finn!", Jake suggested.
"Okay, yeah!", Finn said before singing.
Empathy, empathy,
put yourself in the place of me!
"Your turn!"
"Uh... Empathy, empathy, put yourself... Ohh! So it's like, when I squeeze eggs outta chickens, I should let them squeeze eggs outta me, too!", Donny guessed.
"...Um... kinda right.", Finn said.
"Is it, though?", Rachel glared.
Suddenly, screams were heard from nearby.
"Huh? Sounds like they're in trouble!", Rachel said in worry.
"Oh, no! Jake, you stay here with Mille, Callie, and Betty to try to fix him, while Rae-Rae and I deal with an unknown possibly deadly emergency!", Finn said before he and Rachel ran off.
"Dude, trade me jobs.", Jake pleaded.
"I don't know if we should even be doing this.", Betty said worriedly.
"I feel ya. That guy is beyond help.", Jake said.
"That's not what I meant. What I mean is... I know I read something about grass ogres that are very important and should not be tampered with, but... I forgot what it was.", Betty said before a loud crash was heard.
"What now...?!", Mille groaned.
"Fellas! Someone broke your... um... entire living room!", Donny fibbed before Jake slapped his hand against his face as everyone else groaned.
Back at the house "village", werewolves were already terrorizing the House People, a few of which backed away as one of them snuck in through the bushes to approach them.
"Quick! Act abandoned!", the bank house urged in panic.
He and the Girl With Glasses House did so while the wolf growled at the Dog House, making it whimper until Finn punched him.
"Hands off the housing market!", Finn shouted. With that, the wolf attacked both Finn and Rachel.
"BACKPACK!", Finn shouted as he blocked the wolf's attack with his pack.
Unfortunately, the werewolf leapt and bit into Rachel's arm, making her exclaim.
"Rae-Rae!", Finn shouted.
"It's okay! I'm just surprised, not hurt. This bad dog is not even breaking my skin.", Rachel assured, beginning to give off a teal-colored, striped, misty gas from all around her body, making the werewolf widen its eyes in shock.
"Werewolves. Much worse than ogres.", Finn said before the beast released its grip and fled, revealing that Rachel was right.
"See? I told you it didn't cut through.", Rachel grinned.
"Stop in the name of the law!", the Jail House shouted to the beast as it headed toward a different target.
"Is there somewhere I can trap that thing?", Finn asked.
"Well, there was a zoo, but he moved back east. 'Course, there's always the old well that thing's after.", the Jail House responded.
"I'm not old!", the well spoke as Finn was nearing it.
"Perfect!", Finn and Rachel said in unison.
Finn and Rachel caught up. And just as the wolf neared the well to attack, he stopped and smelled the gas yet again, making it whimper before it then jumped down inside the well.
"Slam-bam-in-a-can!", Finn said.
"Huh? Again? What's up with tha...?", Rachel began before suddenly groaning and clutching her chest in agonizing pain.
Finn gasped from seeing this.
"Oh, no! You're becoming a werewolf, Rae-Rae!", Finn worried.
However, for her, that pain became something else.
"Wait... I think something's different...! I... I'm starting to like how I feel... soooooooo obnoxious...!", Rachel groaned as her body became bigger and larger, ripping off all her clothes as it grew roses and vines all around her all while her skin turned greener than ever; the only thing that remained on her new body was her tiara.
"Whaaaaaaaat?!", Finn asked.
"Mmm...! Now, this is more like it! I feel powerful! I like it!", Rachel smirked, showing off her new body.
"Wait a minute. You weren't turning into a werewolf. You were turning into...", Finn began.
"That's right! A Grass Ogress! The best one there is! I mean, it feels weird just to say it out loud, but now? It feels so right, too!", Rachel grinned.
"I feel like this raises more questions than answers...", Finn said.
Just then, they heard another growling noise nearby, this time, a similar werewolf, but with a split head, making it resemble two 1-eyed heads.
"Huh? Another werewolf?! What's up with this town?!", Finn exclaimed.
"Leave this one to me, Finn. He's mine.", Rachel smirked, cracking her knuckles.
Then, a Siamese twin wolf attacks the bank house, breaking the building apart and revealing his fleshy, building-shaped body. Before he could get away, the wolf bit into him, forcing Rachel to hit the wolf right into the ground with a slap, puzzling it before it looked up with a worried whimper.
"If you can't handle the saw, then STAY OUT OF MY WOODSHED, YOU MUTT!", Rachel shouted, giving off the same gas yet again and forcing the creature to run and jump into the well, howling as it fell.
"What the, huh?", Finn puzzled.
"Whoa... What was that?", Rachel puzzled.
Still, there was no time to reflect on what just happened to her just yet. She and Finn both went over to Mr. Bank.
"Are you gonna be alright, little bank dude? Because right now? You look bankrupt.", Rachel said.
"Oh, it's fine, it's fine. All my assets are insured. Pardon. I have to go spackle my cracks.", Mr. Bank responded as he left.
"Why is this town just getting worse and worse?", Finn puzzled to himself.
"I know. Why aren't these losers just leaving these poor housies alone?", Rachel asked.
"Yes! Why indeed!", the beast spoke from inside the well.
"Hey! What are you werewolves up to?!", Finn called.
"We're not werewolves...", the beast began.
Suddenly, it began to reveal a suit he was wearing in a manner werewolves usually transform from people under the full moon before speaking in a calmer, common voice.
"We're Why-wolves.", the why-wolf continued, putting on his glasses.
"Uh... Why-wolves?", Finn and Rachel puzzled.
"Creatures possessed by the spirit of inquiry... AND... BLOODLUST!", the beast spoke in a normal and then beastly voice after blowing on a vial-like pipe, giving off bubbles from it.
"What?!", Finn exclaimed.
"That is messed up!", Rachel reacted.
"Please. Save your questions and opinions until the end of the lecture.", the why-wolf responded before demonstrating by drawing on the dirt with his claw.
The drawings came to life, detailing what the beast said.
"Our ecosystem. At the bottom level are the house people. Given the opportunity, we Why-wolves would easily wipe them out. However, Donny's presence is a natural deterrent. His jerkiness is so powerful that it produces a pungent gas—obnoxygen. To Why-wolves, it is a deadly poison. But since you've removed the jerk Donny, we will devour the houses, and our population will rapidly swell until we are, in turn, devoured by the Cosmic Owl. Such is the course of nature, but it'll be a pretty sweet ride up until that point.", the whu-wolf spoke as Finn and Rachel grew horrified with Rachel gasping.
"TONIGHT, WE FEAST ON THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENTS!", the why-wolf growled as he shed off the suit and glasses before howling while the Siamese twin Why-wolf laughed maliciously.
"Oh, no! I have to get Donny back!", FInn said in worry before running off.
"You hear that, you mangy mutts?! As soon as we get back with Donny, you're gonna be sorry!", Rachel shouted before running off after him.
As they approached the tree fort, Rachel's mind began to drift toward her new body.
"Whoa... Running in a beautiful body like that? It feels gooooood...", Rachel moaned, growing bigger again as her skin turned completely lime green, rendering her the same exact height as Donny, surprising Finn.
"Whaaaaaat?!", Finn exclaimed.
Then, Rachel stopped before seeing what happened.
"Huh?", Rachel puzzled, getting a better look at her new body. "Whoa... I guess I still had one more left in me."
Rachel scoffed with a grin as she patted her new muscles.
"Huh. Rad.", Finn said.
"Love what you see from this lovely Grass Ogress, Finn? Well, guess what? There's plenty of time for that after we save those house people.", Rachel said as she continued on her way to the tree fort.
"Oh, yeah!", Finn remembered before catching up to her.
Soon, both Finn and Rachel barged into the Tree Fort just as Simon arrived in time to see Donny playing a cello while Jake was playing his Viola and Mille and Callie were enjoying the music up to a point until the urgent barges.
"Kids, we're home!", Rachel shouted.
Only Mille, Callie, and Betty noticed Rachel in her complete Grass Ogress form and gasped.
"Heh. Speechless, am I right?", Rachel grinned.
"That sounds like Rachel...!", Simon gasped from above before he rushed downstairs.
"Oh, thank goodness you guys are here! We have to go right now, and stop the Why-wolves from—", Simon began before he saw Rachel in her current state, especially Jake and Donny.
"Ah! Master Finn and Mistress Rachel have returned and...!", Donny began with a grin before gasping.
"WHOA!", Jake shouted at the same time.
"Wow! Rae-Rae, is that you?", Simon asked.
"Yeah. Who else would it be, daddy?", Rachel smirked.
"Well, this is... Something...!", Betty said, surprised to see her new form as well.
"My word! Rachel, you look... wild.", Donny said.
"Thanks, Donny. Glad you noticed. And what about you? You look..., sophisticated.", Rachel responded.
"Oh, thanks, Rae-Rae. Jake has been teaching me some very effective music messages.", Donny grinned.
"What's it goin'?!", Finn asked.
"Uh, say what now?", Rachel asked at the same time.
"Thanks to you guys, I shall never be jerky again!", Donny grinned.
"Uh-oh.", Rachel said calmly despite her shock.
"Oh, no.", Simon reacted.
"Huh? What's wrong, Simon?", Betty asked.
"I'm beginning to think that taking him from the village was a terrible mistake to begin with.", Simon replied.
"Simon's right! We need jerk Donny to make the obnoxygen, and, and—", Finn began before Donny interrupted.
"Steady on, Finn. Perhaps you are dehydrated! It's as Jake taught me:", Donny began before he sang.
8 ounces,
8 glasses,
8 days a week!
"I'll fetch you some tap water.", Donny said, setting his cello down.
"Whoa. Are you seriously wearing pants now?", the grass ogress asked.
"Surely!", Donny replied before singing again.
Gotta get pants!
Go get your pants!
Button, fly!
"I wrote that one myself. Perdoname.", Donny grinned before leaving as Finn stammered in worry.
"But, but, but—"
"Butt, butt, butt! Yeah, Donny! You're lookin' good in those jeans!", Jake grinned.
"Does he?", Rachel puzzled before turning to see the point.
"Huh. I guess he does.", Rachel said.
"What have you done?!", Simon shouted.
"Miraculous, isn't it? I just kept teachin' him my musical rules, and now, he's perfect.", Jake replied.
"And I thought it couldn't be done.", Mille grinned.
"Such impressive control.", Callie added.
"Impressive is not the word I would use. Look, there's no doubt that whatever you did to accomplish this worked, but in this case, it doesn't mean that you should have.", Simon said.
"Say, what?", the two puzzled.
"Do you guys even realize what you've done?", Simon asked, worrying everyone as most of them shook their heads.
"The house people needed Donny's jerkiness to survive. The obnoxygen he gave off not only transformed my daughter into a Grass Ogress after she sniffed in a large amount of obnoxygen, often confused for a mint scent, into her body...", Simon began.
"I got turned into a Grass Ogress by sniffing his minty-smelling Obnoxygen?! Whoa... That's actually kinda cool.", Rachel grinned.
"Yes, I'll get to that later. Anyway, not only did it transform her, but it also kept the house people's predator: why-wolves away because it was also a natural deterrent for them. Without that obnoxygen from Donny's jerkish behavior, it's only be a matter of time before they become the next unfortunate victims of the grand hoohah that is the food chain.", Simon explained.
"Z'UHH!?", almost everyone exclaimed.
"He's right! We messed up, guys! The House People are doomed if Donny doesn't go back to being town jerk!", Finn agreed.
Shocked as he was, Donny cleared his throat.
"As much as I want to help, I have no intention of being a jerk again. Hmph.", Donny said, crossing his arms.
"But the housies will be wiped out if you don't!", Finn said in worry.
"It sounds tragic, but I'm turning over a new leaf!", Donny said before literally doing so, pulling it out from the front of his pants.
"Donny, you gotta go!", Finn urged.
"Finn, 'no' means, 'no.' I'm sure you'll respect my wishes. Besides, wouldn't it make more sense for Rachel to use her obnoxygen for this?", Donny asked.
This gave Rachel an idea.
"Hey... That's a great idea! Still, you should at least come along and see how differently our new methods work best.", Rachel grinned.
"Huh?", Finn, Jake, and the others puzzled before Rachel leaned over to Finn.
"Hey, guys, work with me. I think I know how to get Donny back to his old self without forcing him, okay?", Rachel whispered.
"If that's what it takes to prove how effective my messages work, then maybe I WILL come along.", Donny said.
Later, Finn, Jake, Rachel, Simon, Betty, Mille, Callie, and Donny all returned to the village in time to see the why-wolves attacking the House People.
"Oh, no! Those poor house people...!", Betty said in worry.
"This is even worse than I imagined...!", Simon added.
"Okay. Right now, there are several Why-wolves attacking those poor, innocent house people. What do you do?", Rachel asked.
"Simple! I'll use my musical messages to stop them!", Donny replied.
Rachel seemed confident while the rest hung their mouths open, not believing what they were hearing.
"It's all right. It's all part of my plan.", Rachel whispered.
Comb your hair right!
It's a good time!
Sticky, sticky pomades,
short back and sides!
But nobody responded because the why-wolves were too busy attacking and feasting on the house people just as the house people were too busy panicking and being attacked and/or chewed.
"Why isn't anybody paying attention to my words?", Donny asked.
"He sure is sensitive about his songs!", Finn said before gasping in realization and looking toward Rae-Rae. "Wait a minute... Are you..?"
"Mm-hmm.", Rachel nodded before she walked over to Donny.
"Look, Donny, let me break this to you gently.", Rachel began before the answer she gave next was anything but. "It's cuz these why-wolves think your songs are dumb!"
"Wha?!", Donny said in shock.
"We know you're an obnoxious Grass Ogress now, Rae-Rae, but what're you saying?! If we don't encourage his talent, he might revert back to jerk Do— OHHH, OHHH!", Jake said in realization.
"YEAH, DONNY! THESE WHY-WOLVES SAY YOUR SONGS ARE SUPER BALLS!", Jake added.
"They don't even care for your songs!", Betty added.
"All they care about is their food!", Simon added.
"These wolves are heartless!", Mille shouted.
"And you're just letting them eat house people?!", Callie added.
"At this rate, the town'll be creamed! By not being a jerk, you're being a real jerk, Donny!", Finn added.
"But... but I've changed!", Donny responded, shedding tears.
"Exactly! And that's the problem!", Rachel added, making Donny gasp.
"Look, Donny... All jerk-ish shootings aside, you were actually beautiful just the way you were. And we all feel like big jerks for taking you away from those house people. Apparently, by being jerky to them, you were doing your civic duty in keeping the why-wolves at bay.", Rachel said.
"Really? I was?", Donny asked.
"Yeah. Apparently. Anyway, I'm glad you showed progress in being mindful of others. But right now, against bad guys like why-wolves who won't even give their two cents about your songs unless they're insults?", Rachel began.
"What? That's not that bad, is it?", Donny began before trying to sing again, but weakly.
Empathy, empathy,
put your mind insi...
But the Why-wolves started to laugh at him.
"You're so pathetic! So comical!", a why-wolf said.
"Against these guys, action is called for. Not only that, but in the case of Grass Ogres? Maximum jerkiness!", Rachel glared toward the why-wolves.
"Are you sure?", Donny asked.
"Yeah. Because doing the right thing for innocent people like them is what a hero always does, even when it crushes them inside. Besides, even if you were a jerk back then, you still have a solid heart of gold, even back then.", Rachel grinned.
"I did? I do?", Donny asked.
"Yeah. I'll give you some time to think about it as I take care of this.", Rachel said.
Then, she stepped forward to one of them, puzzling it.
"Huh?", a why-wolf puzzled.
"YOU are so ugly that when you were born, your doctor slapped your mama! HAHA!", Rachel insulted, giving off a burst of Obnoxygen, making the why-wolf whimper as it fled.
"Ha!", Rachel spoke as she stood proudly for a moment before turning to one of the house people.
"You need help getting up?", Rachel said, offering her hand to one of them.
"Huh? You're not gonna crush me are you?", the house person asked.
"Not unless it's accidental.", Rachel assured.
Cautiously, the house person took Rachel's hand and was helped up compassionately, making Donny gasp in awe.
"Where are the other why-wolves?", Rachel asked.
"Over there.", the house person said, gesturing to the other 4 still attacking the house people.
"I'll try and coral them. Then, I'll leave it to the big guy to finish up.", Rachel said before she went over to them, one of which was currently attacking Mr. Bank.
"You!", Rachel spoke, attracting one of the why-wolves' attention as well as his fellow packmates. "Is that your face? Or did your neck throw up? HAHA!"
With that, another burst of obnoxygen was released, scaring it off.
"You are so ugly, you make onions cry.", Rachel smirked to the Siamese twin why-wolf, making it whimper as it took off due to yet another burst of obnoxygen before turning to a third.
"And you. Your mama's so stupid, she got run over... by a parked car. HAHAHA!", Rachel laughed, releasing another burst of obnoxygen, making it whimper and flee away as Mr. Bank laughed at him and the one-liner.
"'Parked car'?! That's hilarious!", Mr. Bank laughed.
"I'm glad you feel that way, sir.", Rachel grinned, even making Donny gasp with a bit of a smile with teary eyes.
"Now, just one more.", Rachel said before stomping toward the last remaining why-wolf that wasn't insulted.
"Hey...! Easy, now...! It isn't very nice to insult people...!", the why-wolf warned before Rachel stopped.
"Hmm... Yeah, you're right. BUT YOU AIN'T PEOPLE! You are a mangy furball stinkwad. HAHAHA!", Rachel laughed, releasing yet another burst of obnoxygen and scaring it off toward his cowering pack.
"What a jerk!", the why-wolf snarled.
"Not just any jerk... I am a heroic jerk to all evil-doers!", Rachel shouted in proclamation, barring her Grass Ogress body for all to see, especially as it left an impression on Donny.
"So, what do you say, Donny? Wanna be heroic jerks together?", Rachel asked.
After a powerful impression such as this, Donny knew now what he had to do.
"So, it's okay to be a heroic jerk, is it? I'm feelin'.. obnoxious!", Donny said before ripping out of his clothes in determination.
"All right! That's the spirit, Donny!", Rachel cheered.
He then stomped toward the pack of Why-Wolves.
"HEY, YOU WHY-WOLVES ARE COOL! JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHA!", Donnie laughed, releasing his obnoxygen.
"Obnoxygen cloud! EGRESS!", the why-wolf shouted before he and all his pack were sent running for the hills and howling.
Donny panted heavily as Rachel clapped, causing the original Grass Ogre to turn to her in puzzlement.
"Ohhhh, that's good!", Rachel congratulated.
"Really?", Donny asked.
"Yeah. I bet it feels good to be a jerk again, doesn't it? I'm asking because now I know how it feels to be in your shoes.", Rachel grinned.
"Yeah... It does. And even though I totally acted all obnoxious, I still feel conscious of other people's emotions. Even happier.", Donny grinned.
"The town is saved!", the house people cheered before they gathered around Rachel and Donny in celebration.
"Whoa, now! Okay, little housies, give us a little space here!", Rachel said.
"Yeah, you heard her, nerds!", Donny added before both turned to each other and laughed.
"You and Rae-Rae did it, Donny! You're a full-blown jerk again!", Finn said.
"Correction: a full-blown heroic jerk.", Donny responded.
"Hmm. Say, Mr. Barn, do you need some help?", Rachel asked.
"Well, now that you mention it, I could use some help in restocking some eggs.", Mr. Barn said.
"No problem, sir.", Rachel said before turning to Donny and winking.
Then, he turned and saw some chickens nearby.
"Hey, chickens, you wanna help lay some eggs?", Donny asked.
The birds turned to each other and shrugged before nodding.
"Oh, rad.", Donny said before picking them up and aiming them at Rachel, sho stood ready as if she was a quarterback.
"You may fire when ready, Donny.", Rachel said, giving a thumbs-up.
"You got it, Rae-Rae!', Donny spoke before he then prepped the chickens and then made them fire eggs as he sang.
Gotta lay eggs
Go lay some eggs
Shell and yolk!
Rachel managed to catch the eggs, especially with one in her mouth before then laying them down near Mr. Barn and spitting the egg in her mouth out.
"Here are your eggs, sir.", Rachel grinned, making Mr. Barn grin.
"Why, that's enough eggs to produce an entire flock with proper care! Thanks, you two!", Mr. Barn thanked.
"You're welcome.", the two Grass Ogres responded in unison.
"So? That was pretty fun, right?", Rachel asked.
"Yeah... I love bein' a heroic jerk! Thanks, Finn!", Donny thanked.
"You're welcome, Donny.", Finn thanked, exhausted.
"I guess our work here is done.", Simon said, earning Betty, Mille, and Callie's nods.
"C'mon. We can all go stare wistfully at the lake.", Jake said to Finn and the others.
"I'd... I'd like that. Very much.", Finn said as he and the others were leaving.
"Finn? Guys? Where are they going?", Donny asked.
Based on that direction, I'm guessing that they're headed for a lake.", Rachel replied.
"Huh. Hey, you wanna go wrestle at that lake, Rae-Rae?", Donny asked.
"Oooh, I'd love that, SO MUCH!", Rachel replied before both locked hands with each other like they're in an arm wrestling contest.
"Let's do this! Yeah!", the two shouted intensely to each other before laughing as they ran off after the others.
"Hey, guys, wait up!", Rachel shouted.
