A/N: And in this next chapter, this is where Lemongrab is introduced. And speaking of which, when I first saw the character, I honestly kinda like how his voice was, especially with how he turns out later on in the end of the series. So, while I don't like Justin Roiland personally, I still like his voice for him. Kinda like how Grizzly from "We Bare Bears" doesn't like Nom-Nom personally, but does enjoy his videos.
Adventure Time with Finn, Jake, & Rachel
Chapter 26: Lemongrab
It began one day at the Candy Castle. Everyone was getting everything ready for what appears to be a special occasion, hence the gift-wrapping. During that point, Rachel called for Finn.
"Finn? Finn? Finn! Where are you? You've got to try this!", Rachel called.
Finn was outside Princess Bubblegum's room, looking inside.
"I'll be there in a sec!", Finn assured before taking a phone from his backpack and calling Jake.
"What's the status?", Jake asked.
"Good, man!", Finn responded.
"Nice! Seal the deal and tell Bonnie, bro!", Jake egged before Finn laughed nervously.
"Okay, man! Whatevs!"
"You can do it, you hear me?!", Jake shouted before speaking quickly. "I'm playin' BMO—call me later, bye!"
Then, he hung up.
"How's Finn doing?", Mille asked.
"I think he's doin' good.", Jake responded.
"Unlike your game, boiiiii!", BMO smirked, though his face couldn't be seen in the screen in the moment.
"Where's the key to the tower, BMO?! Tell me! AAAGH!", Jake exclaimed in frustration as Callie giggled.
Meanwhile, at the Candy Castle...
"Okay, Finn. You can do this. Just tell her.", Finn said to himself before raising his arms above his head in a robotic way. "Wooooo!"
He walked over to both Muerta, Rachel, and Princess Bubblegum, and sat down beside them. They were both wearing science goggles and tinkering around with potions.
"What's that?", Finn asked.
"This is an instant snow serum for the baby shower.", Bonnie explained.
"It makes you breathe out snow.", Rachel added.
"Breathing snow, huh? I want that!", Finn grinned before taking the potion and guzzling it down.
Suddenly, Finn's face turned blue, and he screamed while spewing out snow from his mouth, the edge of which came out as snowflakes.
"WAAAUGH! Brainfreeze, brainfreeze, oh—WAAAAUGH! Oh... so cold! So cold!", Finn exclaimed before Rachel knelt down beside him and touched him playfully as Muerta giggled.
"YOU'RE so cold!", Rachel grinned.
"I also made an instant bath serum, too. But its effects are similarly hot instead of cold.", Bonnie added.
"Huh. Good to know.", Rachel said.
"I think the instant snow serum would work great for the baby shower, Your Majesty.", Muerta grinned.
"Thank you, Muerta. But please, call me Bonnie or Princess Bubblegum. Your choice.", Bonnie grinned.
Just then, Manfried called out, imitating a trumpet.
"Announcing the arrival of the Earl of Lemongrab!", Manfried called out.
As if on cue, an lemon person, riding on a Lemon Camel, entered the castle gate, frowning. He looked up and saw Cinnamon Bun swinging from a trapeze.
"Heh hah hah- AAAAUGH! Oof! Ha ha ha!", Cinnamon Bun shouted as he fell from the trapeze, landing on the floor with a loud "splat" and sending sticky dough flying before laughing as he tried to scoop it back up into his belly.
The lemon man was not pleased.
"This castle is... in... UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIIIIOOOON! UNACCEPTABLLLEEE!"
Candy people muttered among themselves, wondering who this strange yelling man was.
"Thirty days in the dungeon!", the lemon man shouted, pointing to the room.
"For who?", Cinnamon Bun asked, still on the floor.
"Everyone in this ROOM!", the lemon man shouted before raising his arms up over his head as his eyes widened.
Hurriedly, Rachel, Muerta, Bonnie, and Finn rushed to the scene.
"Wait, wait! You can't give orders like that! I'm in charge here, Lemongrab!", Bonnie glared.
Lemongrab's eyes widened again nervously as he pointed at Princess Bubblegum.
"UNFIT! UNFIT TO RULE THE KINGDOM!", Lemongrab berated only for Finn to jump up and scoldingly slap him on the hand.
"Watch your manners with the princess-!", Finn scolded.
But as he held his hand, Lemongrab cut Finn off, holding his hand.
"HHHHUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOH?!"
"AAH! Back off!", Rachel reacted, preparing to freeze him.
"No, Rachel! Wait!", Bonnie urged, stopping Rachel.
"MMMM!", Lemongrab said.
He pursed his lips before he gasped and started to rub his sore hand.
"I am next in line to thee throne! Sooo... I will be in charge... effective immediately!"
"That's bunk! Right, Preebos?", Finn glared.
"No... He is rightful ruler under kingdom law. It's complicated.", Bonnie said before looking down in shame.
"I created Lemongrab.", Bonnie said.
Both Finn and Rachel gasped.
"What?", Muerta puzzled.
"He was the first of my experiments gone wrong...", Bonnie explained.
One night, a long time ago, Bonnie was looming over a bed/table, on which was Lemongrab, who didn't have a face back then. She stuck a nose on him in the manner of someone sticking a carrot nose onto a snowman. The princess reached for a vial on a nearby table, and poured the liquid onto Lemongrab's face. As soon as features started to form, he gained a mouth and a pair of closed eyes. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open in fright, and he groaned loudly while sitting up very quickly and frantically flapping his arms at Bonnie, all while his eyes rolled back into his head, leaving only the whites exposed as he screamed, much to Bonnie's horror as she gasped.
Back to the present, Bubblegum finished.
"And unfortunately, he now inherits the right to the throne.", Bonnie added.
"Bonnie, no...", Rachel said in worry.
"IF ANYONE NEEDS ME I'LL BE TAKING A NAP! A...a-a-and CLEAN this place up or dungeon! THREE HOURS D...!", Lemongrab began.
But before he could finish, he saw Muerta and gasped before focusing all his attention on her.
"YYYEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOUUUHHH!", Lemongrab shouted, worrying everyone as he pointed at Muerta accusingly.
"Daughter of the Lich, you are sentenced to LIFE IN THE DUNGEON!", Lemongrab shouted, making the candy people gasp.
"What?!", Rachel and Bonnie exclaimed.
"Life. In. The. Dungeon.", Lemongrab repeated aggressively, yet calmly.
"NNNNOOOOOOOO!", Starchie cried as he clenched his fists and screamed in outrage/defeat before Lemongrab left the room with a blank expression on his face.
"We'll get you out, Muerta.", Rachel assured.
"Thanks, but it really doesn't matter.", Muerta responded. "I'm deathless, so really, one life sentence isn't going to get me out. And besides, you did tell me that it's better to serve my time."
"What? No, I didn't. I don't even remember telling you that.", Rachel said.
"Guess I just figured that one out on my own.", Muerta responded.
"Yeah. I guess you did...", Rachel realized with a sad grin before Muerta began walking away.
"I'll come visit you!", Rachel called in assurance.
Of course, once Muerta was out of eye sight, Bonnie shouted.
"Guys, this is dirt balls! Just because she's the daughter of the Lich doesn't automatically get her locked up for life, especially when she hasn't done anything wrong since her help in stopping the Lich!", Bonnie exclaimed.
"Exactly! And she was going to come with us to the Baby Shower, too! We gotta do something to make him leave!", Rachel urged, sad and angry over what's happening to Muerta.
"Yeah... like pranking him up his face!", Finn suggested.
"Wait, pranks? That's a great idea,", Rachel grinned before becoming puzzled. "But we don't even know what kind of pranks could even drive him away."
"I have just the perfect prank for this! C'mon, guys!", Bonnie grinned before taking Finn's hand.
Then, the three ran off. Later, Lemongrab was sleeping peacefully in a small, dark room of the Candy Castle. Then, Finn, Rachel, and Princess Bubblegum loomed beside his bed and smiled at him mischievously. The trio stuck two corks into Lemongrab's "ears" to prevent him from hearing their activities. He continued sleeping as they worked. They set up an elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque prank in the room, did a fist-bump, and left. Lemongrab's peacock alarm clock went off, setting off the last part of the prank. The prank caused a ping-pong ball to gently bump into Lemongrab's forehead. Sleepily, he opened his eyes and found a large note, saying "YOU REALLY SMELL LIKE DOG BUNS" beside him.
"Huh?"
He reached over to nightstand, put on his reading glasses, squinted, and kept his hand on the side of his glasses as he read to himself.
"'You... really... smell... like... ... dog buns'...?"
Outraged, he clenched his fists, widened his eyes, and opened his mouth wide to emit a long, cracking scream that continuously rose in pitch until it became a girlish shriek.
Moments later, in the hallway of the Candy Castle, as Bonnie, Rachel, and Finn looked on without being noticed, the candy people were lined up beside the wall as Lemongrab paced nervously, with Peppermint Butler by his side.
"Well, well, well... IS THIS EVERYONE, THEN?!", Lemongrab shouted.
"Yes, all the castle staff.", Peppermint Butler replied.
"Sooo, which one of yooou, WAS it?! Who did... the THING?!", Lemongrab asked.
"The... thing?", the upside-down ice cream cone asked in puzzlement.
Running out of patience already, Lemongrab clenched his fists angrily and widened his eyes before unpocketing the Dog Buns note and unfolding it while showing it to the Candy People. He also pointed at it with a frantic tremble.
"THE THING, THE THING!"
"Hey, man! Calm down!", Peppermint Butler urged while gently tugging on the leg of Lemongrab's jumpsuit. "It's just a prank, man! For laughs!"
Now, Lemongrab was a bit new to the concept, so he was a bit confused for a time.
"Prank? F... for... laughs?", Lemongrab asked. "Yes, of course... Just a harmless prank... f-for laughs..."
Very soon, he burst into a wide, jovial grin combined with a startled look and started laughing as his head bounced with every laugh. Of course, the candy people looked frightened as Peppermint Butler, as well as Finn, Rachel, and Bonnie, were uneasy.
But then, Lemongrab's facial expression returned to his usual blank one, and he abruptly stopped laughing before speaking quickly with a disapproving shake of his head.
"Seven years dungeon. All of you—dungeon! Seven years, no trials! C'mon... LET'S MOVE IT!"
Bonnie sighed.
"I don't think that worked out too math, Finn.", Bonnie said.
"I told you the note wouldn't work. And I was hoping it actually would, too. Any other ideas?", Rachel asked.
"Let's try it my way this time, okay?", Finn asked.
"Okay!", Rachel grinned before gripping his hand.
Upon realizing his, she blushed.
"Uh..., I'm gonna go check on Muerta and see how she's doing.", Rachel said before leaving. "I'll catch up in a bit, okay?"
Moments later, Rachel was visiting the dungeon and who should he find among the candy people staff locked up but Muerta.
"Muerta...!", Rachel said.
"Rachel.", Muerta said in a bit of surprise.
"Are you doing okay in here?", Rachel asked.
"I'm all right.", Muerta assured.
"Honestly, I'm kinda surprised. I'd thought you'd at least be a little upset.", Rachel said.
"Well, I did tell you that it doesn't matter, didn't I?", Muerta asked.
"Yeah, but... what about the baby shower?", Rachel asked. "You know you can choose to be mad at something."
"Yes, but I'm not really mad at the sentence, because that's actually true. And no. I'm not saying that because I'm too hard on myself.", Muerta said.
"You're not?", Rachel asked before Muerta shook her head.
"Oh. Well, I'm still gonna bust you out, though.", Rachel said.
Later, Finn and Princess Bubblegum were gathered on top of the side of the roof when Rachel caught up.
"Hey, guys. What's up? What's the plan?", Rachel asked.
"We'll work together and use that serum you made.", Finn said.
"What serum? You mean the snow serum?", Rachel asked.
"No. The other one.", Finn responded.
"Ohhhh, that one.", Rachel grinned.
"Exactly. We'll use that to spice-bomb him non-stop 'till his butt falls out! How's that sound?", Finn asked.
"All right. But if that doesn't work, we'll use the instant snow serum.", Rachel warned.
"Exactly. If that doesn't drive him off, nothing in the potions category will.", Bonnie added as Finn turned to Rachel.
Rachel smiled contentedly, leaning her head on Finn's shoulder.
"Hoooo!", Finn shuddered with a nervous exhale, his cheeks red with a blush.
Later, in a small room in the Candy Castle that appeared to be under construction with half-painted walls and unopened cardboard boxes everywhere, Lemongrab was seated at a small table as Peppermint Butler approached him, holding a golden platter of food covered by a golden dome.
"Thank you for releasing me early from the dungeon, Master Lemongrab.", Peppermint Butler thanked.
"I determine what is early, and what is late, Mr. Peppermint!", Lemongrab said as he closed his eyes and made a slight bowing gesture to his butler.
"Yes, Your Earlness.", Peppermint Butler responded.
"Also... I don't know where food comes from!", Lemongrab added, pointing at Peppermint Butler.
"My Lord, food comes from Ma-", Peppermint Butler began.
"AHHHHtatatataNO! That's why I am royal and you are servile!", Lemongrab interrupted.
Hidden in the ceiling, Rachel, Princess Bubblegum, and Finn watched Lemongrab and Peppermint Butler converse.
"You ready to pour the stuff?", Finn asked.
"Yeah! Rae-Rae and I made it super-hot this time!", Bonnie whispered.
"Wait 'till he opens the lid!", Finn grinned.
"Behold: a plate of mashed carrots, flavoraaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!", Peppermint Butler shouted as a drop of spicy serum fell into Peppermint Butler's eye.
"Oh, shoot!", Rachel said as Bonnie gasped.
Peppermint Butler screamed erratically as he looked up and Finn shushed him before Peppermint Butler threw the lid aside.
"STOP SCREAMING! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!", Lemongrab exclaimed.
"Because I'm excited by this meal I made!", Peppermint Butler assured as Bonnie tried again, this time, dropping the serum into the carrots while Peppermint Butler rubbed his eye and Lemongrab finally calmed down.
"Me, too. I'm excited, too.", Lemongrab said calmly.
He grabbed a fist full of mashed carrots and popped it into his mouth. Immediately, his eyes widened, he looks sickened, his face quickly turning a vibrant, dark shade of red, and then, he spat the carrots out onto Peppermint Butler's face, and started screaming, blinded by pain.
Still screaming, he walked away unsteadily, only to approach the window and fall out of the tower. He even fell quickly through the air, still red-faced and screaming. Surprised, Princess Bubblegum, Peppermint Butler, and Finn watched Lemongrab fall into the ground heavily, his whole head smashed into the earth. Lemongrab pried himself up and gasped for air before shoveling handfuls of dirt into his burning mouth, causing his face to quickly turn a healthy yellow again.
"He's eating the dirt!", Rachel said in worry.
"He's eating the dirt! SPICE IT NOW!", Peppermint Butler shouted before Princess Bubblegum dripped 2 drops of serum into the dirt and Lemongrab's face reddened again as he screamed, bolted upright, and quickly ran away. Candy people looked at him nonchalantly as he ran through the castle grounds, screaming in agony.
"He's heading for the orchard!", Peppermint Butler shouted.
Lemongrab, screaming and whooping loudly, shakily approached an apple tree, resting his hands on his knees for a moment, obviously exhausted. He feebly reached his hand up to the tree, in which Finn, Rachel, Peppermint Butler, and Princess Bubblegum were hiding.
"Apple!", Lemongrab said.
The earl jumped up to try to get the apple. Fortunately for him, he got it, but unfortunately for the others, the weight on the branch caused him to fall down onto his back, causing Peppermint Butler to get jostled out due to the tree branch shaking before he landed into Lemongrab's mouth. The earl sucked on him to relieve the spice before his face turned yellow once again and he smacked his lips a few times in relief, still lying on the grass and looking straight up at the tree branch.
"Heh, heh... heh!", Finn laughed nervously, as Lemongrab spotted him, Rachel, and Princess Bubblegum.
"Ha, ha-ha... GOOD ONE! Keep 'em coming! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!", Lemongrab said with a bit of pained laughter, though nevertheless triumphantly raising his fist into the air.
"Dang... That Earl just wouldn't crack, would he?", Rachel said in surprise.
Later, Rachel was visiting Muerta in the dungeon again.
"He's been through heck with that spice and he still laughed, saying he's not going anywhere! It's like he's untouchable!", Rachel vented. "Honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't already sent me and the others to the dungeon for 1,000,000 years for that."
"Rachel, I appreciate what you're doing for me, really. But I need to serve my time.", Muerta said.
"But if you're serving your time, how can you come over to our baby shower?", Rachel asked in worry. "And besides, seeing you locked up in here reminds me of how scared you were when we first met. In Bonnie's room. And..."
Then, she realized something.
"Wait. Muerta, I think I might have a backup plan in case this next one fails and we do end up in the dungeon.", Rachel assured.
"Back-up plan?", Muerta asked.
"Visit or no, I'll explain later.", Rachel assured before taking off. "Don't go anywhere, Muerta!"
"Where else could I possibly go?", Muerta asked.
Later, the trio were cutting up sheets to make ghost costumes before putting them on with Rachel manning the instant snow potion. They exchanged smiles and then put on the sheets. The trio ran out of the room, waving their arms and whooping loudly. Lemongrab was standing in the hallway, minding his own business. As he saw the little ghost pranksters, he turned his head with mild curiosity.
"What are you looking at?", Lemongrab asked.
Suddenly, instead of scaring him, Rachel splashed the instant snow potion into his mouth. Lemongrab's mouth then immediately turned blue and he screamed again due to the major brainfreeze as he began to spew out snow from his mouth, which then turned into snowflakes. This time, he rushed out of the castle gates, still screaming as he spewed out snow in his mouth. Of course, the candy people who saw this were amazed with the snow coming out from him. Happy, even. As this went on, Lemongrab ran as fast as he could all around the Candy Kingdom, especially spreading snow on top of the homes and buildings in the Candy Kingdom until he spotted a hot tub and jumped in, dousing the formula and leaving his face turned back to normal with the snow no longer coming out from his mouth as he popped out, breathing out relief before spotting the ghost pranksters again.
"Here it comes...", Rachel said, almost in worry.
"OOOOOONE MILLION YEEEEEEEARS, DUNGEON!", Lemongrab shouted.
Later, at the dungeon, Finn, Rachel, Princess Bubblegum, and Peppermint Butler were imprisoned alongside the castle staff and Muerta.
"Maybe if we... set his butt on fire.", Finn suggested.
"No, Finn. I got a better idea.", Rachel said, turning to Muerta.
"Muerta, do you remember how big Bonnie and I were while we were fused when we first met?", Rachel asked.
"I think so. Why?", Muerta asked.
"Bonnie, do you remember your condition since the Duke incident?", Rachel asked.
"How could I forget?", Bonnie asked.
"Good. We could really use that to bust us all out right now.", Rachel said.
"How does it work?", Muerta asked.
"Well, it's simple. Ever since the Duke incident, every time Bonnie gets excited, her body grows big and large enough to pass as a sumo wrestler.", Rachel explained.
"That's right! We did sumo matches all the time every night.", Bonnie said.
"All it takes is one exciting thought to trigger the growth. For example, there's all that time I spent with Finn and Bonnie in... trying to come up with pranks to scare him off...", Rachel began, her cheeks turning red as she blushed.
Then, Rachel's belly started to growl.
"Oh! And then there's the baby shower. Not to mention the thought of me being a big sister, too...! Oh, I get excited just thinking about it!", Rachel beamed.
But very quickly, Rachel started to grow bigger and fatter belly-first before the rest of her body followed one at a time as Finn and Bonnie became surprised while Muerta was extremely... indifferent.
"WHAAAAAT?", Finn asked as Bonnie gasped before Rachel groaned in surprise as her chest, butt, arms, and legs both grew twice as big and fat, causing her shirt, pants, boots, and socks to rip off from her body, now only leaving her just as draped in her long hair like in her dreams, but bigger, larger, and a bit rounder, before her growth stopped.
When it did, much to her own surprise, Rachel was not only larger, but also big enough for her head to nearly touch the ceiling.
"Huh? Now, I got bigger?", Rachel asked as Finn blushed, covering his eyes a little.
"And right after you said that you're getting excited just thinking about the...", Bonnie began before gasping as she realized something.
"That's it! When we fused, we started sharing some of the same traits as one another. For example, that condition you mentioned.", Bonnie stated as Rachel was now checking herself out while noticing now that she now has more fat folds on her body.
"You mean that could happen?", Rachel asked.
"Yes. And from the looks of it, it DID happen.", Bonnie added.
"Huh. I think I even got twice as big now. Mmmm. And I got more folds than I know what to do with, too.", Rachel spoke as she then felt the fat folds on her body, even caressing them while then looking back at her now engorged rump and gave it a gentle shake or two before feeling her belly.
"I think you look even bigger than you were when you became crazy in my nightmare.", Finn said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Only you're rounder and... well, way less crazy.", Finn said.
"Aw. Thanks, Finn.", Rachel grinned, blushing a little.
"And guess what? You're not busting everyone out alone like this.", Bonnie said.
"How come?", Rachel asked.
"Because I have something exciting to think about now, too.", Bonnie said.
"Is it the baby shower?", Finn asked.
"That's part of it. The baby shower is good and all, especially for Betty and Simon, but I rarely get to act like a kid. So, doing all those pranks with you guys is... Bloobaloobie!", Bonnie said gleefully.
In no time, Bonnie started growing bigger and larger as well. The bubblegum princess grew bigger and larger, filling out on all the right assets until she was as big and round as Rachel, making Finn blush even more as the candy people also become a bit surprised.
"Whoa. Way to fill up, Bonnie.", Rachel grinned.
"Okay, let's get out of here.", Bonnie said with a mild blush.
The two then broke the dungeon wall with their palm strikes, earning the candy people's cheers as they fled. The only one who didn't flee, however, was Muerta.
"Well, aren't you coming out, Muerta?", Rachel asked.
"I told you, remember? I'm serving my time.", Muerta said.
"We'll sort this out as soon as we get my throne back.", Bonnie assured.
Later, Bonnie and Rachel burst into the throne where Lemongrab was present.
"Yo, Earl!", Bonnie shouted.
"WHAAAAAT?!", Lemongrab shrieked in surprise.
"Hey! You're fired, ya BUTT!", Bonnie glared.
Suddenly, Rachel butt-bumped Lemongrab out of the throne and through the window. Of course, by chance, he landed on his lemon camel.
"Whoa, whoa, what the hey?", Lemongrab puzzled.
"And never come back, ya butt!", Rachel shouted.
So, Lemongrab rode away on his lemon camel, none too pleased with being fired.
"Phew... now to help sort things out in time for the baby shower.", Rachel grinned.
Later, Muerta had come along for the baby shower in the Ice Kingdom. There, Marceline, Finn, Rachel, and Bonnie (the latter two of which still had nothing to wear, given their massive sizes covered only by their hair, save for their respective bow ties in pink and blue), had given their gifts to Betty in celebration, especially with even Gunther and the penguins giving their gifts as well while Muerta was just attending.
"Oh, fellas. We can't thank you enough.", Simon grinned.
"Anything for Ooo's greatest couple.", Marceline responded.
"Aw, you shouldn't have.", Betty blushed.
"I'm so glad everything's back to normal.", Bonnie said.
"Well, almost. Still, this is a pleasant surprise for me.", Rachel grinned.
"Thanks for all your help, Finn.", Bonnie thanked.
"Oh- you're welcome! But... uhm...", Finn began.
"Oh! Uh, Finn? I have something I want to tell you.", Rachel said.
"Really? What?", Finn asked.
"Well, ah... I think... I think I like you.", Rachel responded.
"What...?!", Finn asked.
"D'oh...! I know. Silly, isn't it?"
"No, Rae-Rae! I mean..., that's real sweet of you.", Finn grinned.
"Oh. Well, thanks.", Rachel grinned before getting a bit worried. "There isn't going to be any 'but', is there?"
"Nope. That's it.", Finn said.
"Again, thanks.", Rachel said, hugging Finn.
"You're welcome.", Finn chuckled a bit.
"Congratulations, Rae-Rae.", Bonnie grinned.
"Thanks, Bonnie.", Rachel grinned.
"You know, if you're just as liable to grow larger from excitability like I am now, I wonder what other things we share from our fusion.", Bonnie said.
"Well, Bonnie, wanna find out tonight?", Rachel asked.
"Do I ever!", Bonnie grinned. "Come on!"
"You wanna come with, Finn?", Rachel asked.
"In a minute. I got some things to think over first.", Finn said.
"Whoa. I didn't peg you as much of a thinker, but okay. Think away.", Rachel grinned.
With that, both Bonnie and Rachel walked away, leaving Finn alone, save for some present company with Gunther. His phone rang and Finn answered.
"Hello?", Finn asked.
"Hey, man! What's the status?", Jake said.
"Bad news, I didn't get to tell her. But good news? She told me how she felt about me.", Finn reported.
"Whoa, that's a surprising turn-around, Finn. But look, man. Lemme share with you a little secret on how to win the heart of a princess. It's not easy, but ya have to be persistent. You might have to defeat a demon lord, and warp through several worlds.", Jake explained.
As he did, BMO's video game showed the actions being carried out.
"But once you do, you walk up the wizard stairs, and produce your magic key you got in a water world and unlock the chamber door. Then, walk right up to the princess, and give her a smooch."
The video game characters kissed, and the words "You Win" lit up the screen.
"Yesss!", Jake said triumphantly. "Does that make sense?"
"Yeah, man. I see what you're sayin'. Thanks, Jake.", Finn thanked.
"Mmm-hmm.", Jake nodded before Finn hung up and looked over to Rachel and Bonnie hanging out together while researching what other possible traits they now share with each other.
"Go up the wizard steps.", Finn said to himself before standing up and going over to them, but not without setting Gunther down.
"Hold up, guys. Whatever cray-cray discoveries you make, I don't want to miss 'em.", Finn said.
"Wenk.", Gunther said, as if saying "Lucky".
