*A young man who is asleep in an old but still active stasis pod in the land of ooo from adventure time Meantime Finn and Jake are explore the places and accidentally came across the pod when they were exploring. The pod had a few vines wrapped around it, but it was still active and operating; keeping the person inside alive.*

Finn: "Hey jake! Look at this dude! What is this?

Jake: "I don't know dude, but there's someone inside."

Finn: *looks at it closer with curiosity*
"It looks like some kind of stasis pod"

Jake: *looks at it intensely*
"I think it's still working, whoever's inside is still alive"

Finn: *looks at the pod with fascination*
"Whoa.. that's pretty cool!"

Jake: *looks around the area*
"Looks like it's been here for a while… wonder how long this person have been in there?"

Finn: *looks at the pod again*
"I wonder who's in there?"

Jake: *shrugs*
"Don't know, but they must be someone important if they've been in there for this long"

Finn: *walks closer to the pod*
"This is pretty cool… do you think we should open it and see who's inside?"

Jake: *looks at the pod thoughtfully*
"No, dude."

Finn: *looks at Jake with a surprised look*
"Why not, man?"

Jake: *looks at Finn a bit serious*
"Dude, do u remember when we free business man and they doings a worst stuff ?"

Finn: *nods thoughtfully*
"Yeah, that was a bad idea..."

Finn: *looks at the pod with a bit of disappointment*
"Oh... I get what you're saying. You think they might be dangerous if we let them out"

Jake: *nods*
"Exactly, man. We don't know who they are or what they're capable of, so it's probably best to leave them in there"

Finn: *sighs and nods*
"I guess you're right, Jake. We shouldn't mess with something we don't know about"

Jake: *nods back*
"Yeah, man."
...
Jake: *cont*
what are we gonna do now ?

Finn: *thinks for a moment*
hm...
*look at stasis pod again*
...

Finn: *still thinks for a moment and have a idea*
hey Jake maybe we should carry this to PB she might be know this.

Jake: *looks a bit skeptical*
"I don't know man, shouldn't we just leave it alone ?"

Finn: *looks at the pod again and is still curious*
"I know, but don't u want to know who's inside?"

Jake: *thinks for a moment and sighing a little*
"Alright, fine. We'll take it to PB and see what she says"

Finn: *grins in excitement*
"Yeah, that's the spirit!"
Now let's lift this thing.

Finn: whoa!
this thing is heavy.

Jake: doesn't look like it.

Finn: *struggling to lift it*
"Well, it feels heavy to me!"

Jake: *grins and easily lifts it*
"You're just weak, dude"
let's me try.
*try lift ot but...is it heavy*
what the-

Jake: *looks surprised*
"Whoa, this thing is heavier than it looks!"

Finn: *laughs a bit at seeing Jake surprised*
"See? I told you it was heavy!"

Jake: *puts it down and shakes his head*
"Okay, maybe I underestimated it a bit. Let's try carrying it together this time."

Finn: *nods in agreement*
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea."

*They both try to lift it together.*

Finn: careful, Jake.

Jake: *grunts as they lift it together*
i'm trying, dude this thing is heavier than a whale.

Finn: *straining to keep lifting it*
"I know, I know. Just don't drop it!"

Jake: *still trying to carry it*
"I won't, I won't. Just keep it together for a bit more."

Finn: *taking a deep breath and nods*
"Okay, I think we're almost there."

*They continue to carry it together, slowly but surely making their way towards the Candy Kingdom.*

Jake: *looking tired and sweaty*
"Man, this thing is heavier than it looks. How much farther?"

Finn: *also looking tired but trying to keep going*
"Not much farther, we're almost there."

*They continue walking until they finally reach the outskirts of the Candy Kingdom.*

Jake: *looking relieved to have made it this far*
"Thank goodness we made it. I don't know how much longer I could've carried that thing."

Finn: *nods in agreement*
"Yeah, me too. I'm exhausted."

*They set the pod down for a moment to catch their breath.*

*While Finn and Jake are catch their breath so Princess Bubblegum see and come to them*

Princess Bubblegum: *sees Finn and Jake panting and covered in sweat*
"Hey guys, what's going on here? Why are you two so exhausted?"

Finn: *looks up at PB*
"Oh, hey Princess. We just found this thing in the forest and carried it all the way here."

Jake: and we bring this thing so let u figure out what is this.

PB: *raises an eyebrow and looks at the pod curiously*
"Well, that's quite a mysterious find. Alright Bring it to my lab.

Finn: 😳...
Jake: *grins and looks at Finn*
"You heard the lady, dude. Let's get moving."

*They pick up the pod again and follow PB to her lab.*

*Once they reach PB's lab, she begins examining the pod carefully. PB's Researching  the stasis pod and she was attentive then she was more curious more about it while Finn and Jake are waiting for her get done*

Finn: *whisper*
hey Jake ?

Jake: *whispers back*
"Yeah, buddy? What's up?"

Finn: *whisper*
"what do u think is inside that thing?"

Jake: *whispers back*
"I don't know, man. It could be anything. Maybe a mutant human like Sussan or something."

Finn: *whispers back*
"Yeah, could be. Or maybe it's something magical. Like a powerful wizard or something."

Jake: *whispers back*
"Whoa, that would be cool. But whatever it is, I'm sure Princess Bubblegum will figure it out."

Finn: *whispers back*
"Yeah, you're right. But what do u think who is the pod?"

Jake: *whisper back*
"I have no idea, man. But i think their not from Ooo that's for sure."

Finn: *whispers back*
"Definitely. This thing looks nothing like anything we've ever seen before."

Jake: *whispers back*
"Exactly. But let's just wait and see what PB says. She'll figure it out."

Finn: *nods in agreement*
"Yeah, let's just wait and see."

*They continue watching as PB examines the pod, taking notes and mumbling to herself.*

PB: *studying the pod and mumbling to herself*
"Interesting... very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like this before..."

Finn: *looks at PB, curious about what she's discovered*
"Hey Princess, what do u think? Any ideas yet?"

PB: *looks up from her notes and shakes her head*
"I'm not sure yet, guys. I'll need to run some tests and gather more data to figure out exactly what's inside this pod and where it came from."

Jake: *nods in understanding*
"Makes sense. So how long do u think it will take?"

PB: *thinks for a moment*
"It's hard to say. Depends on what kind of technology is inside and how complex the data is. It could take hours, days or maybe even weeks. I'll work on it as quickly as I can, though."

Finn: *nods and looks at the pod with curiosity*
"Alright, we'll just have to wait and see then. Take all the time u need, Princess."

PB: *smiles at them*
"Thanks, guys. I'll keep you updated on any new discoveries I make. In the meantime, go rest up. You both look exhausted from carrying this thing all the way here."

Jake: is fine, Princess.

Finn: yeah, Bubblegum.

PB: *smiles and shakes her head*
"You guys are stubborn as ever. But seriously, go get some rest. I'll call you when I have more information."

Finn: *sighs and nods*
"Alright, we'll head off then."

Jake: *yawns and stretches*
"Yeah, I could use a good nap."

PB: *laughs softly*
"Good. Take care, guys."

*Finn and Jake say their goodbyes and head out of PB's lab, still curious about the mysterious pod.*

???: ... *in stasis pod*
...
*look at her*

*The pod remains motionless, the strange being inside still in stasis.*

*The silence in the lab is broken by a low hum of machinery. Inside the pod, the strange being remains motionless.*

Finn: *rubbing his chin in thought*
"Man, I can't stop thinking about that thing. I wonder who is it ?"

Jake: *shrugs*
"Who knows, man. Maybe PB will figure it out soon. But whatever it is, it's giving me the creeps."

Finn: *nods in agreement*
"Yeah, me too. I just hope it's not some kind of another Lich are born again."

Jake: *shudders*
"Hopefully not. That guy gave us enough trouble the last time. Don't need a repeat of that. Even tho he completely extinct"

Finn: *nods*
"Yeah, definitely not. I still have nightmares about that guy. But I guess we should just trust PB. She'll figure it out eventually."

Jake: *sighs and stretches*
"Yeah, I guess you're right. But for now, we should get some rest. We carried that heavy thing all the way from the woods to here, remember?"

Finn: *nods and yawns*
"Yeah, you're right. I'm beat. Let's head back to the tree house and get some shut-eye."

Jake: *yawns and nods*
"Sounds like a plan. I'll race you there."

Finn: *grins and gets ready to run*
"You're on, man. Loser has to do the loser's chores for a week."

Jake: *grins back*
"You're on. 3...2...1...GO!"

*They both start running towards the tree house at top speed, both determined to win the race.*

*As Finn and Jake race away, they laugh and banter back and forth, enjoying the friendly competition. However, behind them, the mysterious being inside the pod remains still and silent, waiting for the moment it will be awoken.*

*Finn and Jake finally reach the tree house, panting heavily and laughing as they cross the finish line. They both lean against the tree, catching their breaths.*

Finn: *between gasps for air*
"Man...you're getting...slower...old man..."

Jake: *catching his breath and pretending to be offended*
"Excuse me, kid? I'll have you know I'm in my prime!"

Finn: *laughs and pushes him playfully*
"Yeah, right. You're just jealous because I'm younger and faster than you."

Jake: *playfully shoves him back*
"Jealous? Me? Never. I just let you win because I felt bad for you."

Finn: *raises an eyebrow*
"Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that, old man. But we both know I beat you fair and square."

Jake: *grins and ruffles Finn's hair*
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy."

*They both laugh and head inside the tree house, still ribbing each other.*

*Inside the tree house, they settle down for the night, the adrenaline from the race wearing off and exhaustion taking over.*

Jake: *yawns and stretches out on the floor*
"Man, I'm tired. That race really took it out of me."

Finn: *yawns and nods, curling up under a blanket*
"Yeah, me too. But it was worth it to see your face when I beat you."

Jake: *rolls his eyes and grins*
"Yeah, yeah. Keep rubbing it in, why don't you."

*He yawns again and closes his eyes, ready to drift off to sleep.*

Finn: *smiles and closes his eyes as well*
"I will. I'll be rubbing it in for the next week when you have to do my chores."

Jake: *grumbles and pretends to be annoyed*
"Yeah, yeah. I can't wait. Just remind me never to race you again."

Finn: *laughs softly*
"Oh, I'll remind you. Every single day while you're doing my chores."

*He grins and starts to drift off to sleep, still feeling amused by their friendly competition.*

Jake: *groans but can't help smiling*
"Can't wait..."

*He lets out a final yawn and dozes off, drifting off into a peaceful sleep.*

*As Jake and Finn sleep, the tree house is quiet and still. Hours pass as the night grows darker, the only sound coming from the occasional snore from Jake or the rustle of blankets as Finn turns in his sleep.*

*The scene cut at half of the morning as Finn and Jake got new from Princess Bubblegum*

PB: there u are u two.
sorry for call u two come herr quickly.

Finn: *yawn*
is okay, Pb.

Jake: yeah.

PB: *nods and motions for them to come closer*
"I have some information to share about that mysterious pod you two brought me."

Finn: *looks intrigued and steps closer*
"What did you find out, PB?"

PB: *shows them some data and scans*
"Well, I've been able to gather quite a bit of information about it. For one, I can tell you that the technology inside is unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's certainly not from our world, or any other dimension I'm familiar with."

Jake: *looks surprised and tilts his head*
"Woah, really? So, you're saying it's from somewhere else entirely?"

PB: *nods*
"That's exactly what I'm saying. The technology and bio-chemical makeup of the creature inside is completely foreign to us. I've spent all night analysing the data and I still don't have all the answers."

Finn: *looks curious and rubs his chin*
"So, what kind of creature is it? Could it be dangerous?"

Jake: wait ?
i thought we done discover human islands before. and we just bought another human from other world ?!

PB: *shrugs and continues to sift through the data*
"I'm not sure yet. The technology inside the pod seems to have preserved the human's consciousness and put it in a form of stasis. I'm still researching how it works, but it's clear that whoever built this pod had access to some very advanced technology."

Jake: wow!
so we just found a ancient human ?!

Finn: *still looking puzzled*
That's crazy, Princess!
But do u think it's from before mushroom war ?

PB: *nods*
"That's a possibility. The technology certainly seems ancient and the human inside must have been trapped in the pod for a very long time. I'm still trying to piece together all the information, but it's looking more and more likely that this human is from a distant past."

Finn: *looks impressed*
"That's incredible! So, we've basically found a time capsule from the past?"

PB: *smiles and nods*
"Exactly. And whoever or whatever put this human in the pod was clearly trying to preserve them for some reason. It's definitely a fascinating discovery."

Jake: *looks interested and leans in*
"But who put them in there? And why? Do we even know what the human's story is?"

Finn: but the important is...who's is he ?
and where is he from ?

PB: *shrugs and looks puzzled*
"That's the biggest mystery of all. Without awakening the human, we won't know the full story. But I'm still trying to piece together clues from the data and the pod itself."

Jake: *looks excited and scratches his chin*
"So, when can we wake him up? I bet he has all kinds of stories to tell!"

PB: *raises an eyebrow*
"Not so fast, Jake. We don't know what state the human is in. It's possible that waking him up too quickly could be dangerous. I need to run a few more tests and make sure it's safe before we do anything rash."

Finn: *nods in agreement*
"Yeah, Jake. We can't just rush in and wake him up. We don't know what kind of condition he's in or what he might do."

Jake: *looks slightly disappointed but understands*
"Fine, fine. I guess we have to play it safe. What can we do to help, Princess?"

PB: *smiles and pats them on the back*
"Thanks, boys. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but right now, the best thing you can do is sit tight and wait. I'll keep you updated on my progress and let you know when it's safe to wake the human up."

Finn: *nods and looks hopeful*
"Sounds good, PB. We'll be patient. Just let us know as soon as you know more."

PB: *nods back*
"You got it. I'll be working around the clock to figure this out. We're onto something big here, guys. It's only a matter of time before we uncover the truth."

Jake: *looks curious and grins*
"I can't wait! This is gonna be one heck of a mystery to solve. And who knows, maybe this human will have all the answers we're looking for."

PB: *grins back*
"That's the hope, Jake. In the meantime, just try to stay out of trouble, okay? I don't need you two causing chaos while I'm trying to work."

Finn: *snickers*
"No promises, PB. You know us. We can't help but find trouble wherever we go."

PB: *rolls her eyes and laughs*
"Yeah, I know. Just try your best, okay? And no more bringing mysterious pods into my castle without permission, got it?"

Jake: *laughs sheepishly*
"Yeah, we got it. No more surprise guests. We'll behave, promise."

PB: *laughs and ruffles their hair*
"Good. Now get out of here and let me get back to work. I'll let you know as soon as I have any more information."

Finn and Jake: *grins and salute*
"Yes, ma'am!"

PB: *grins and shakes her head*
"You two are a handful. Now go on, get out of here before you cause any more trouble."

Princess Bubblegum: wait just stay outside alright ?
the research only took more a few minutes.

Finn: *nods and grins*
"Yeah, no problem, PB. We'll be right outside."

Jake: *grins and pokes Finn*
"I wonder what that human looks like. Think he's gonna be all tough and scary?"

*Finn and Jake make their way back out of the castle, their excitement and curiosity still evident*

Finn: *laughs and shrugs*
"Who knows? He could be a total badass or just some regular guy."

Jake: *snickers*
"Or he could be a huge nerd. Can you imagine, a human nerd from the distant past in Ooo?"

Finn: *laughs and grins*
"That would be hilarious. But hey, maybe he'll have some cool knowledge or something. Never know what kind of things people from the past know."

Jake: *nods and scratches his chin*
"Yeah, you're right. He could be some kinda ancient wise man or something. But ya know what I'm hoping for?"

Finn: *laughs and raises an eyebrow*
"What? You're hoping he'll be some huge warrior or something?"

Jake: *grins and wags his finger*
"Nah, screw that. I'm hoping he's the biggest party animal ever. Can you imagine a human from the past partying with us all night long?"

Finn: *burst out laughing*
"Oh, man, that would be epic! A human from the past partying it up with us in Ooo? That would make for one helluva night, for sure!"

Jake: *grins and slaps Finn on the back*
"Right?! It would be the party to end all parties. wow!!!

Princess bubblegum: is done.

Finn: *looks excited*
"Sweet, PB's done already? Can we go see the human now?"

Jake: *squeals with excitement*
"Please tell me we can wake him up already. I need to see this guy!"

*Just as they're talking, Princess Bubblegum emerges from the castle, a serious look on her face.*

PB: *looks at Finn and Jake*
"guys...Patient."
just heard me out okay ?

Finn: *looks at her, a little surprised at her serious tone*
"Sure, PB. What's up? Is something wrong?"

PB: *takes a deep breath*
"The human inside the pod... I've been running some final tests and I've discovered something you should know."

Jake: *looks puzzled*
"What is it? Is the human okay?"

PB: *looks at them, her expression solemn*
"Physically, the human appears to be healthy. But there's something else...something I need to show you both."

Finn: *looks intrigued*
"Show us what? What's going on, PB?"

*Finn and Jake look at PB curiously, their anticipation growing*

Jake: *looks eager*
"And? What did you learn? What's the deal with this human?"

PB: *takes a deep breath*
well according to my research he name is Thomas and he from another island name Vug.

Finn: *looks intrigued*
"Vug...? I've never heard of that island before. Is it from a different dimension or something?"

PB: *shakes her head*
"No, not another dimension. It's a small island that's pretty isolated from the rest of the world. It's not a well-known place, which is why you've probably never heard of it before."

Jake: *looks curious*
"So this guy, Thomas, comes from this island...?"

PB: *nods*
"That's right. From what I can tell, he's lived there his whole life. But that's not the most interesting thing I discovered."

Finn: *looks even more intrigued*
"Oh? What else did you find out about him?"

PB: *hesitates for a moment, looking a little uncomfortable*
"Well... I ran some DNA tests and compared them to our database, and... it turns out that this human, Thomas, he's not just any ordinary human like u, Finn."

Pb: *cont* he's completely become immortal.

Finn: *looks shocked*
"Wait, what? He's immortal? How is that even possible?"

PB: *shakes her head, looking just as baffled*
"I don't know. I've never seen anything like it before."

Jake: *looks impressed*
"Dude, an actual immortal human? That's crazy. I thought only vampires and stuff could live forever."

PB: *nods*
"That's true, but Thomas is different. It seems like his immortality is a result of some kind of genetic mutation or anomaly. It's extremely rare."

Finn: *looks fascinated*
"Man, that's so cool. I've never met an immortal person before. What else did you learn about him?"

PB: *shakes her head, looking a little confused*
"Not much else, unfortunately. His DNA readings are unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's like he's not quite human, but he's not anything else either. It's hard to explain. all i only i could see is he from before mushroom war"

Finn/Jake: ?!

PB: *cont*
more exactly he was born before Marceline and i was born.

Jake: *looks surprised*
"Before Marceline? You mean he's older than both you and Marceline?"

PB: *realize a bit mistake*
no wait...yea he born in before mushroom war before u guys was born my mistake.

PB: *thinks for a moment*
"Based on the DNA analysis, I'd estimate he's somewhere in his 900s he 's older, maybe a bit older than me. But it's impossible to be certain."

Jake: *looks completely floored*
"Did you just say he's over 900 years old? Is that even possible?"

PB: *shakes her head again, still looking bewildered*
"It shouldn't be. But then again, with the strange state of his DNA, I suppose anything's possible. It's a complete mystery to me how he's still alive and hasn't aged a day."

Finn: *looks fascinated and a little stunned*
"So you're telling us he's some kind of ancient human who has somehow managed to stay alive for over 900 years? That's insane."

PB: *nods*
"That's right. It's a complete anomaly. I've never encountered anything like it before, and I've seen some pretty strange things in my time."

Jake: *looks thoughtful*
"So what happens now? Are we going to wake him up and talk to him or something?"

PB: *looks a little hesitant*
"That's the thing... I'm a bit concerned about Waking him up. With his unique condition and age, there's no telling what kind of effect awakening from a deep sleep could have on him. It could be risky."

Finn: *looks worried*
"What do you mean risky? Is there a chance he could be dangerous or something?"

PB: *shakes her head*
"No, I'm not concerned about him being dangerous. But the process of waking someone up from a long sleep can be taxing. Imagine being asleep for hundreds of years and then suddenly waking up to a completely different world. It's a lot for the mind and body to handle."

Jake: *nods*
"Yeah, I can see how that could be a problem. But we can't just leave him in that pod forever, right? We have to do something."

Finn: yeah the point is
it is the time to wake him up, Princess ?

PB: *sigh*
"Yes, you're right. We can't keep him asleep forever. But we need to be careful about how we do it. We'll need to ease him into it slowly, let him acclimate to the changes. And we should be prepared for any possible side effects or reactions he might have to waking up in a different time."

Jake: *looks determined*
"Then let's do it. We're ready to handle anything he throws at us."

Pb: *gasp*

Finn: Jake!
that's could be kill someone like that even he in the pod.

Jake: *looks a bit sheepish*
"Oh, right. Sorry, got a little carried away there. But still... we're ready for whatever happens, right?"

Finn: *nods*
"Absolutely. We've faced all kinds of crazy things in Ooo. We can handle this."

PB: *takes a deep breath*
"Alright then. We'll wake him up, but we'll need to do it gradually and be prepared for anything that might happen."

Finn: *looks excited*
"Let's do it! I can't wait to meet this mysterious immortal human."

Jake: *looks nervous*
"I just hope he's not too grumpy or anything. Old dudes can be grouchy, you know."

Finn: *laughs a little*
"Don't worry, dude. We'll win him over. He'll love us."

Jake: *grins*
"You're probably right, bro. We're pretty irresistible when we want to be."

PB: *smiles a little*
"Just remember to be patient with him. He's probably going to be disoriented and confused at first."

Finn: *nods*

Jake: *nod*

Pb: okay...
*press a button*

*The pod begins to open slowly, releasing a hiss of pressurized gas. As the pod opens, the figure inside starts to stir*

Thomas: ...
*awake*
....?
*blink few time*
...
*get up fron the stasis pod*
...
*Finn, Jake, and PB watch with bated breath as the figure slowly rises from the pod. The human, Thomas, looks around, disoriented and confused, taking in his new surroundings*

Thomas: ...
*look around a bit as notice at them*

*Thomas locks eyes with Finn, Jake, and PB, his expression still dazed and bewildered. He looks like he's not quite sure what's happening or where he is*

*Thomas's as speak Vug language*

Thomas: aiabzuwjaaoabx?
÷';kshapqjdoqjxlab?

*Finn, Jake, and PB all look a bit taken aback when they hear Thomas speaking a language they don't understand. They exchange confused glances, unsure of how to respond*

Jake: *looks at Finn*
"Dude, what's he saying? I have no idea what language that is."

Finn: *shakes his head*
"No idea either, dude. i thought u understand, Jake ?"

Jake: *shrugs*
"Nah, it's totally foreign to me."

Finn: then how do u understand Rainicorn language  ?
*teasingly*

Jake: *shrugs*
"Bro, that's different. Magic horse lady speak is totally different from this guy's language she speak Crytal language okay ?"

Jake: *cont*
I mean he's talk so gibberish, u know.

Finn: *looks curious and shrugs*
"Yeah, I guess you're right."

*Princess Bubblegum notices Finn and Jake starting to argue. Seeing the situation getting tense, she quickly walks towards them and places a gentle hand on their shoulders.*

PB: "Hey, guys. Calm down. We don't have time for arguments. We need to find a way to communicate with Thomas."

Finn: yeah u're right, P.

Jake: yeah...but he still talk with weird language over and over.
i don't even know what is he said.

*Thomas, who was clearly confused earlier, now looks a bit amused by their bickering. He watches them go back and forth with a confused expression*

*Princess Bubblegum nods, understanding their frustration.*

PB: "I know, guys. It's going to be a challenge to communicate with him. "

*Pb then turns her attention to Thomas, who is still eyeing them with confusion and uncertainty.*

*Thomas, still feeling the effects of his long sleep, rubs his eyes and stretches his limbs, trying to shake off the grogginess he felt.*

*PB looks at Thomas with a kind and gentle expression.*

PB: "Hey there, take it easy. We mean no harm"

*Thomas sighs and realizes they don't understand him. He seems a bit frustrated, but he's not angry. Instead, he seems slightly amused by their bickering.*

*Princess Bubblegum notices this and tries to address Thomas, speaking slowly and carefully with a polite tone.*

PB: "Hello there. Can you understand me?"

PB: *cont*
"English"

Thomas: ...
*realized that language*
!
R.
Wjdiansl.
*coughing a bit*
Hi.

*Princess Bubblegum's face lights up with relief when she hears Thomas speak English*

PB: "Oh thank goodness! You can understand us. That's a relief."

*Finn and Jake both look excited and relieved as well*

Finn: "Dude, he speaks English! This is awesome!"

Jake: "Finally! I thought we were gonna have to play charades forever."

*Thomas looks around the lab, still trying to process everything. His voice is a bit hoarse from not speaking for so long*

Thomas: "Where... where am I? This place looks..."
*looks around more, taking in the candy-themed laboratory*
"...different."

PB: "You're in my laboratory in the Candy Kingdom. I'm Princess Bubblegum, and these are my friends Finn and Jake."

*Thomas rubs his temples, looking confused and disoriented*

Thomas: "Candy Kingdom? That's... that's not a place I know. How long was I..."
*looks back at the stasis pod*
"How long was I in there?"

*Princess Bubblegum exchanges a concerned glance with Finn and Jake before answering gently*

PB: "Thomas, this might be difficult to hear, but... you've been in that stasis pod for a very long time. Over a thousand years."

*Thomas's eyes widen in shock*

Thomas: "A... a thousand years? That's impossible."
*looks around frantically*
"What happened to Vug? What happened to the world I knew?"

Jake: "Vug? Is that where you're from, dude?"

*Thomas nods slowly, still processing the information*

Thomas: "Yes, it's my home island. It was... it was small, but it was home."
*looks at them with growing concern*
"Please tell me it's still there. Please tell me my people are okay."

*The three friends exchange uncomfortable glances. Princess Bubblegum steps forward gently*

PB: "Thomas, I'm sorry, but the world has changed dramatically. There was something called the Mushroom War, and..."

*Thomas's face goes pale*

Thomas: "The Mushroom War... it actually happened?"
*sits down heavily on a nearby chair*
"We heard rumors, warnings about a coming war, but I never thought..."

Finn: "You knew about the Mushroom War?"

*Thomas nods grimly*

Thomas: "There were whispers, fear spreading between the islands. Some said the mainland nations were developing terrible weapons. That's why..."
*looks back at the stasis pod*
"That's why they put me in there. They said I needed to survive, to carry on if the worst happened."

Jake: "Dude, that's heavy. So you're like, one of the last survivors from before everything went crazy?"

*Thomas looks up at them, his expression a mix of sadness and determination*

Thomas: "It seems that way. But if I'm here, if I survived, then maybe there's still hope. Maybe there are others."

PB: "There are other humans, Thomas. Finn here is human too, and there are human islands that survived."

*Finn steps forward with a friendly smile*

Finn: "Yeah man! You're not alone. There are still humans out there, and the world... well, it's different, but it's not all bad. There's magic, adventure, and lots of good people."

*Thomas looks at Finn with interest*

Thomas: "You're human too? But you look so young..."

Jake: "Oh, Finn's just a kid compared to you, old timer. You've got like 900+ years on him!"

*Thomas manages a small smile for the first time*

Thomas: "900+ years... I can barely believe it myself."
*stands up slowly*
"So this is the world now? Magic and candy kingdoms?"

PB: "Among other things, yes. The Land of Ooo is full of wonders and dangers. But don't worry, you'll have time to adjust."

*Thomas takes a deep breath and looks at each of them*

Thomas: "Thank you for waking me up, for giving me a chance to see this new world. I don't know what I would have done if I had woken up alone."

Finn: "No problem, dude! That's what friends do. And hey, you're gonna love it here in Ooo!"

Jake: "Yeah! We'll show you all the cool spots, introduce you to everyone. It's gonna be mathematical!"

*Thomas looks puzzled*

Thomas: "Mathematical?"

*Finn laughs*

Finn: "It's slang for 'awesome' here. You'll pick up on it."

*Thomas nods, still looking a bit overwhelmed but grateful*

Thomas: "I have so many questions about what happened, about this new world..."

PB: "And we'll do our best to answer them. But for now, you should probably rest. Your body has been through a lot, even with the stasis preservation."

Thomas: "Actually, I feel... surprisingly well. The stasis pod must have been very advanced."
*looks at his hands*
"I don't feel like I've aged at all."

Jake: "That's probably because you're immortal, dude!"

*Thomas looks shocked*

Thomas: "Immortal? What do you mean?"

PB: "My tests showed that you have some kind of genetic anomaly that prevents aging and grants accelerated healing. Did you know about this?"

*Thomas shakes his head slowly*

Thomas: "I... no, I had no idea. I always recovered from injuries quickly, but I thought that was normal..."
*looks thoughtful*
"Maybe that's another reason why they chose me for the stasis pod."

Finn: "Dude, that's so cool! You're like, indestructible!"

Thomas: "Immortal..."
*sits back down, looking overwhelmed*
"That means I'll outlive everyone I meet, won't I?"

*The room falls silent for a moment as the weight of his words sinks in*

Jake: "Hey man, don't think about it like that. Focus on the good stuff! You get to experience so much more, meet so many people, see how the world changes!"

Finn: "Yeah! And besides, you won't be completely alone. There are other immortal beings in Ooo too."

PB: "That's right. There's Marceline, she's a vampire queen who's been around for about a thousand years too. You two might understand each other."

*Thomas looks up with interest*

Thomas: "Another immortal? A vampire queen?"

Jake: "Oh yeah, Marceline's awesome! She's got this whole cool, laid-back vibe. She plays bass and everything!"

Thomas: "She sounds... interesting. I'd like to meet her, if that's possible."

PB: "I'm sure that can be arranged. In fact, I think you two might get along well. You both understand what it's like to have lived through so much change."

*Thomas nods thoughtfully*

Thomas: "That would be nice. It's been so long since I've talked to someone who might understand..."

Finn: "So Thomas, what do you want to do first? Want to see the Candy Kingdom? Or maybe check out our treehouse?"

Thomas: "Your treehouse?"

Jake: "Yeah! It's where Finn and I live. It's pretty awesome, and we've got great views from up there."

*Thomas smiles, remembering his love for high places with good views*

Thomas: "Views? I... I used to love finding high places to sit and think. The views always helped me clear my head."

Finn: "Then you'll totally love our place! We can see all of Ooo from up there!"

Thomas: "That sounds perfect, actually. But first..."
*looks at Princess Bubblegum*
"Is there any way to find out what happened to Vug? To my home?"

PB: "I can research it for you, Thomas. It might take some time, but I'll see what I can find in the historical records."

*Thomas looks grateful*

Thomas: "Thank you. That means a lot to me."

*He stands up and stretches, looking around the lab one more time*

Thomas: "So... welcome to my new life, I suppose."

Jake: "Hey, it's gonna be great! Trust us, Ooo is full of adventures and awesome people!"

Finn: "Yeah! And who knows? Maybe your immortality will come in handy for some of the crazy stuff we get into!"

*Thomas chuckles softly*

Thomas: "Somehow, I have a feeling you two are going to make my new life very interesting."

PB: "Before you go, Thomas, here's my contact information. If you ever need anything, or if you have questions about your condition, don't hesitate to reach out."

*Thomas takes the information gratefully*

Thomas: "Thank you, Princess. For everything. You've given me a second chance at life."

*As they prepare to leave the lab, Thomas takes one last look at the stasis pod that preserved him for over a thousand years*

Thomas: "Goodbye, old world. Hello... whatever comes next."

*As they exit the laboratory, Thomas takes his first real look at the Candy Kingdom. The sight of the colorful, candy-themed architecture leaves him amazed.*

Thomas: "This is... incredible. Everything really is made of candy."

Finn: "Pretty wild, right? Wait until you see the other kingdoms!"

Jake: "Oh man, there's the Ice Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, Lumpy Space... Ooo's got it all!"

*Thomas stops walking and looks around, taking it all in*

Thomas: "In my time, we had heard legends of magical realms, but we always thought they were just stories."

PB: "Well, magic became much more prevalent after the Mushroom War. The world changed in ways no one could have predicted."

*They walk through the candy streets, with various Candy People going about their daily business. Some stop and stare at the newcomer with curiosity.*

Peppermint Butler: "Princess, who is this new person?"

PB: "This is Thomas, Peppermint Butler. He's going to be staying in Ooo for a while."

*Thomas waves awkwardly at the small candy butler*

Thomas: "Hello."

Peppermint Butler: "Interesting... very interesting."

*He gives Thomas a slightly unsettling stare before walking away*

Jake: "Don't mind Peppermint Butler. He's... unique."

Thomas: "I can see that. This is all so much to take in."

*They continue walking until they reach the outskirts of the Candy Kingdom*

Finn: "So, ready to see our treehouse?"

Thomas: "Actually, yes. I think I need somewhere quiet to process all of this."

*As they make their way through the forest, Thomas notices how different the landscape is from what he remembers*

Thomas: "The trees... they're different. And there are so many strange colors in the sky."

Jake: "Oh yeah, that's just normal Ooo stuff. You'll get used to it."

*They arrive at Finn and Jake's treehouse. Thomas looks up at the massive tree with its cozy home built into it*

Thomas: "This is where you live? It's actually quite charming."

Finn: "Thanks! Want to come up and check out the view?"

*They climb up to the main living area. Thomas immediately goes to the window and looks out over the Land of Ooo*

Thomas: "Wow..."

*The view shows the diverse kingdoms, strange landscapes, and magical phenomena scattered across the land*

Thomas: "It's beautiful, in a very... unusual way."

Jake: "Right? And that's just the stuff you can see from here. There's so much more out there."

*Thomas sits down heavily in a chair, finally allowing the weight of everything to hit him*

Thomas: "I can't believe it's all real. A thousand years... everyone I ever knew is gone."

*Finn sits down across from him*

Finn: "Hey, I know it's rough. But you're not alone now. You've got us, and there are tons of other people who will be your friends."

Jake: "Yeah man, Ooo's got the best people. Well, most of them anyway."

*Thomas manages a small smile*

Thomas: "You two seem very kind. I'm grateful that you found me."

BMO: "Who is this new person?"

*BMO waddles into the room, curious about their visitor*

Finn: "BMO, meet Thomas. Thomas, this is BMO, our... uh... living game console and friend."

*Thomas stares in amazement at the small robot*

Thomas: "A living machine? How is that possible?"

BMO: "I am BMO! I can play games, music, and be a friend! Want to play a game, Thomas?"

*Thomas looks fascinated*

Thomas: "I... yes, actually. That might help take my mind off things."

*BMO lights up excitedly and starts setting up a simple game*

BMO: "Yay! Let's play Adventure Master!"

*As Thomas learns to play BMO's game, he begins to relax a little. Finn and Jake watch with approval*

Jake: "See? You're already fitting in."

Thomas: "This BMO is remarkable. The technology is so advanced, yet so... friendly."

Finn: "BMO's the best. He's been with us forever."

*After playing for a while, Thomas looks back out the window as the sun begins to set*

Thomas: "The sunsets are different too. More... colorful."

Jake: "Yeah, that's another post-war thing. But it's pretty cool, right?"

Thomas: "It is. Different, but beautiful."

*He turns back to them*

Thomas: "You mentioned someone named Marceline earlier. The vampire queen?"

Finn: "Oh yeah! You should totally meet her. She's been around almost as long as you have."

Jake: "She lives in a cave not too far from here. Want to go meet her tomorrow?"

*Thomas nods eagerly*

Thomas: "I would like that very much. It would be nice to talk to someone who understands what it's like to live for so long."

Finn: "It's settled then! Tomorrow we'll introduce you to Marceline."

*As the night deepens, Thomas finds himself growing tired despite his long sleep*

Thomas: "I should probably find somewhere to stay for the night."

Jake: "You can crash here if you want! We've got a spare sleeping bag."

Thomas: "Are you sure? I don't want to impose."

Finn: "Dude, it's no problem at all! Friends help friends."

*Thomas looks touched by their kindness*

Thomas: "Thank you. Both of you. This kindness means more than you know."

*They set up a sleeping area for Thomas. As he settles in for the night, he looks out at the strange new world through the window*

Thomas: "So this is my new life..."

*He closes his eyes, ready to begin his first night in the Land of Ooo*

Jake: "Hey Thomas?"

Thomas: "Yes?"

Jake: "Welcome to Ooo, dude."

*Thomas smiles in the darkness*

Thomas: "Thank you, Jake. Thank you both."

*The next morning, Thomas wakes up to the sound of birds chirping outside the treehouse. He sits up slowly, taking a moment to remember where he is.*

Thomas: "Right... the Land of Ooo. Not a dream."

*He looks around and sees Finn and Jake still sleeping. BMO is quietly humming to himself in the corner.*

BMO: "Good morning, Thomas! Did you sleep well?"

Thomas: "Actually, yes. Better than I expected. Thank you for asking, BMO."

BMO: "Would you like me to play some morning music?"

Thomas: "That would be nice, thank you."

*BMO starts playing a gentle, cheerful tune. The music wakes up Finn and Jake.*

Finn: "Morning already? Man, I slept like a rock."

Jake: "Same here, dude. Oh hey, Thomas! How'd you sleep?"

Thomas: "Very well, thank you. Your treehouse is quite comfortable."

*Jake stretches and transforms into different shapes as he wakes up*

Jake: "Sweet! So, ready to meet Marceline today?"

Thomas: "I think so. Though I admit I'm a bit nervous. It's been a long time since I've met someone who might understand my... situation."

Finn: "Don't worry, man. Marceline's really cool once you get to know her. She can be a little intimidating at first, but she's got a good heart."

Jake: "Yeah, and she's probably gonna be curious about you too. Another immortal showing up in Ooo? That's pretty rare."

*They have a simple breakfast together. Thomas is fascinated by the strange foods that exist in this new world.*

Thomas: "What exactly is this?"

Finn: "Oh, that's just some Tree Trunks' pie. She makes the best stuff."

Thomas: "Tree Trunks?"

Jake: "She's a little yellow elephant. Makes amazing food and has this cute Southern accent. You'll meet her eventually."

Thomas: "An elephant... who bakes pies."

*He takes a bite and his eyes widen*

Thomas: "This is actually incredible."

Finn: "Right? Ooo's full of surprises like that."

*After breakfast, they set out toward Marceline's cave.*

*As they walk through the forest, Thomas continues to marvel at the strange and wonderful sights of Ooo.*

Thomas: "Is that tree... dancing?"

Jake: "Oh yeah, that's just a Party Tree. They do that sometimes."

Thomas: "Of course they do."

*They pass by various creatures and beings, each more unusual than the last*

Finn: "So Thomas, what was your world like before the war?"

Thomas: "Very different from this. Much more... ordinary, I suppose. We had technology, but nothing magical. Everything was more structured, predictable."

Jake: "Sounds kinda boring, no offense."

Thomas: "None taken. Looking back, it probably was. But it was all I knew."

*They approach a darker part of the forest*

Finn: "We're getting close to Marceline's place."

*As they walk, they hear the sound of bass guitar echoing through the trees*

Thomas: "Is that music?"

Jake: "Yep! That's Marceline. She's probably just jamming."

*The music gets louder as they approach a large cave entrance*

Finn: "Yo, Marceline! You home?"

*The music stops abruptly*

Marceline: "Finn? Jake? What brings you to my cave?"

*Marceline floats out of the cave entrance, her red eyes scanning the group until they settle on Thomas*

Marceline: "And who's the new guy?"

*Thomas stares at Marceline, taking in her appearance - pale gray skin, long black hair, and fangs visible when she speaks*

Thomas: "You're... actually a vampire."

Marceline: "Yeah, and you're... actually old. I can sense it on you."

*She floats closer, studying Thomas with interest*

Marceline: "You're not from around here, are you? Like, not from this time."

Finn: "Marceline, meet Thomas. He's been in a stasis pod for over a thousand years."

Marceline: "No kidding? A thousand years, huh?"

*She lands on the ground and walks around Thomas, examining him*

Marceline: "Pre-war human?"

Thomas: "Yes. From an island called Vug."

Marceline: "Never heard of it. Probably didn't survive."

*Thomas's face falls slightly*

Marceline: "Sorry, that was harsh. But hey, at least you made it."

Jake: "And get this - he's immortal too!"

*Marceline's eyebrows raise*

Marceline: "Immortal? Like, actually immortal or just really hard to kill?"

Thomas: "I... I'm not entirely sure. I was told I have some kind of genetic anomaly."

Marceline: "Huh. Interesting."

*She floats back up*

Marceline: "Well, want to come in? I was just working on a new song."

*They follow Marceline into her cave. Thomas looks around at the eclectic mix of furniture, instruments, and personal items scattered throughout.*

Thomas: "This is... quite the living space."

Marceline: "Thanks. I've had a long time to collect stuff."

*She picks up her bass guitar*

Marceline: "So, Thomas from Vug. What's your story? How'd you end up in a stasis pod?"

*Thomas sits down on an old couch*

Thomas: "My people... when we heard about the coming war, they chose me to survive. They said someone had to carry on if the worst happened."

Marceline: "And it did."

Thomas: "Yes, it did."

*There's a moment of understanding silence between them*

Marceline: "I lived through the war. Watched the world end and rebuild itself. It wasn't pretty."

Thomas: "I can imagine. Sometimes I wonder if I was lucky to sleep through it all."

Marceline: "Maybe. But you also missed out on seeing how people rebuilt, how they found hope again."

*She starts playing a slow, melancholy tune on her bass*

Marceline: "That's the thing about being immortal. You see the worst of everything, but you also get to see the best."

Thomas: "How do you deal with it? Watching everyone you care about... leave?"

Marceline: "It's hard. Really hard. But you learn to appreciate the time you have with people, even if it's not forever."

*She looks at Finn and Jake*

Marceline: "These guys won't be around forever, but right now, they're my friends. That's what matters."

Finn: "Aw, Marceline!"

Jake: "That's so sweet!"

Marceline: "Shut up, you dorks."

*But she's smiling as she says it*

Thomas: "That's... actually very wise."

Marceline: "I've had a lot of time to think about it."

*She stops playing and looks at Thomas*

Marceline: "So what are you planning to do now? You can't just sit around feeling sorry for yourself forever."

Thomas: "I... I don't know. Everything I knew is gone. I have to start completely over."

Marceline: "Hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Clean slate, endless possibilities."

Jake: "Yeah! You could be anything you want!"

Finn: "An adventurer, a musician, a scientist, whatever!"

Thomas: "I suppose you're right. But where would I even start?"

Marceline: "Well, first things first. You need a place to live."

*She thinks for a moment*

Marceline: "You know what? You should stay here for a while."

Everyone: "What?!"

Marceline: "Think about it. Two immortals, both dealing with the weirdness of living forever. We could help each other out."

Thomas: "You... you'd want me to stay here? With you?"

Marceline: "Sure. This cave's huge, and it gets pretty lonely sometimes. Plus, you seem like you could use someone who gets what you're going through."

Finn: "That's actually a great idea!"

Jake: "Yeah! You guys are like, immortal buddies!"

Thomas: "I... I would like that very much. Thank you, Marceline."

Marceline: "Don't mention it. Besides, maybe you can help me with something."

Thomas: "What's that?"

Marceline: "I've been working on this song about the old world, but I never actually lived in the pre-war times. You could give me some real perspective."

Thomas: "I'd be happy to help."

*Over the next few hours, Thomas and Marceline talk about their experiences. Thomas shares memories of the old world, while Marceline tells him about the post-war reconstruction.*

Thomas: "We had these things called movies. They were like... stories projected onto screens."

Marceline: "Oh yeah! I found some old movie equipment once. Never worked though."

Thomas: "And music... we had so many different kinds. Jazz, rock, classical..."

Marceline: "I know some of those! I learned a lot from old records I found."

*She plays a few different styles on her bass*

Thomas: "That's remarkable. You've preserved so much."

Marceline: "It's important to remember the good stuff, you know? Not everything about the old world was bad."

Thomas: "No, it wasn't. We had art, music, literature... people fell in love, had families, pursued their dreams."

Marceline: "Exactly. And now we get to help create new art, new music, new dreams."

*Thomas looks thoughtful*

Thomas: "You know, I used to write. Poetry, mostly."

Marceline: "Really? That's cool! I'm always looking for new lyrics."

Thomas: "Maybe we could collaborate sometime."

Marceline: "I'd like that."

*Finn and Jake watch their interaction with satisfaction*

Finn: "You guys are already becoming friends!"

Jake: "Yeah, this is working out great!"

Marceline: "Alright, don't get all sappy on us."

*But she's clearly pleased*

Thomas: "Thank you all. This morning I woke up feeling lost and alone. Now I feel like... like I might actually belong somewhere again."

Marceline: "Well, welcome to the Land of Ooo, Thomas. It's weird, it's dangerous, and it's absolutely insane."

Thomas: "It sounds perfect."

Marceline: "Oh, you have no idea what you're in for."

*She grins, showing her fangs*

Marceline: "But don't worry. I'll show you the ropes. Immortal to immortal."

Thomas: "I'd appreciate that."

Finn: "This is so mathematical! You guys are gonna have the best adventures!"

Jake: "Yeah! And Thomas, wait until you meet everyone else. There's Princess Bubblegum, Ice King, Tree Trunks, Lady Rainicorn..."

Thomas: "Lady Rainicorn?"

Jake: "She's my girlfriend. She's a rainbow-colored unicorn who flies and speaks Korean."

Thomas: "Of course she is."

*Everyone laughs*

Marceline: "See? You're getting the hang of Ooo already."

*As the day continues, Thomas feels more and more at home. He's found not just a place to live, but people who understand him and care about him.*

Thomas: "You know, maybe sleeping for a thousand years wasn't such a bad thing after all."

Marceline: "Why's that?"

Thomas: "Because it brought me here. To this moment. To all of you."

*Marceline looks touched, though she tries to hide it*

Marceline: "Okay, now you're being sappy."

Thomas: "Sorry."

Marceline: "Don't apologize. It's... nice."

*A few days later, Thomas has settled into Marceline's cave. He's set up a small area for himself and is slowly adapting to life in Ooo.*

Thomas: "Marceline, what's that sound?"

*A loud rumbling echoes through the cave*

Marceline: "Oh, that's probably just the Cave Wurms. They get active around this time of day."

Thomas: "Cave... Wurms?"

Marceline: "Yeah, giant worm creatures that live in the deeper tunnels. They're mostly harmless, but they make a lot of noise."

*Suddenly, Finn and Jake burst into the cave*

Finn: "Marceline! Thomas! We need your help!"

Jake: "There's a situation in the Candy Kingdom!"

Marceline: "What kind of situation?"

Jake: "Some kind of weird monster is terrorizing the Candy People! Princess Bubblegum asked us to gather all the help we can get!"

Thomas: "A monster?"

Finn: "Yeah! It's like this big, scary thing with tentacles and it keeps stealing candy!"

Marceline: "Sounds like a Tuesday in Ooo."

*She looks at Thomas*

Marceline: "You up for your first adventure?"

Thomas: "I... yes. Yes, I think I am."

Jake: "Sweet! Thomas is gonna see some real Ooo action!"

*They quickly gather their things and head toward the Candy Kingdom.*

Thomas: "So this kind of thing happens often?"

Finn: "Oh yeah, all the time! Monsters, villains, magical mishaps... it's part of life here!"

Thomas: "And you just... deal with it?"

Marceline: "Pretty much. Someone's gotta keep the peace."

*As they approach the Candy Kingdom, they can see the chaos - candy people running around screaming, and in the center of it all, a large tentacled creature rampaging through the streets*

Thomas: "That's... significantly larger than I expected."

Jake: "Yeah, they usually are."

Princess Bubblegum: "Finn! Jake! Thank goodness you're here!"

*She notices Thomas*

Princess Bubblegum: "Thomas? What are you doing here?"

Thomas: "Marceline thought I should experience my first Ooo adventure."

Princess Bubblegum: "Well, you picked a good one. That creature appeared an hour ago and has been wreaking havoc ever since."

Marceline: "Any idea what it wants?"

Princess Bubblegum: "It seems to be collecting candy, but I can't figure out why."

Finn: "Only one way to find out!"

*Finn charges toward the monster with his sword drawn*

Thomas: "Should we help him?"

Jake: "Oh yeah, definitely!"

*Jake stretches his arms and grabs Thomas and Marceline, swinging them toward the action*

Thomas: "This is insane!"

Marceline: "Welcome to Ooo, buddy!"

*As they join the battle, Thomas realizes that this strange, chaotic world is exactly where he belongs. Fighting monsters, protecting innocent people, working alongside friends who have become family - it's a purpose he never could have imagined in his old life.*

Thomas: "You know what? I think I'm going to like it here!"

Marceline: "That's the spirit! Now help me get this tentacle off my leg!"

*After defeating the tentacle monster, the group sits exhausted in the Candy Kingdom plaza. The monster had turned out to be a confused creature from the Crystal Dimension who just wanted to taste different types of sweets.*

Princess Bubblegum: "Well, that was certainly eventful. Thank you all for your help."

Thomas: "I have to admit, that was quite exhilarating."

*He looks at his hands, which are already healing from small cuts he got during the fight*

Thomas: "And my healing really is faster than normal."

Marceline: "Yeah, immortality comes with perks. You'll get used to it."

Finn: "Dude, you did great for your first monster fight!"

Jake: "Yeah! You jumped right in there like a pro!"

*Thomas smiles, feeling a sense of accomplishment*

Thomas: "It felt good to help people again. To have a purpose."

*As the sun begins to set, Thomas looks around at the group*

Thomas: "I should probably start thinking about where I'm going to stay long-term. I can't keep imposing on your hospitality forever."

Finn: "What do you mean? You're not imposing!"

Jake: "Yeah, we love having you around!"

Thomas: "You're very kind, but I need to find my own space. Somewhere I can... process everything that's happened. Maybe create some new memories to balance out the old ones."

*Marceline floats thoughtfully nearby*

Marceline: "You know, my cave is pretty huge. Lots of empty rooms just sitting there collecting dust."

Thomas: "I couldn't ask you to—"

Finn: "Wait, that's actually a perfect idea!"

Jake: "Yeah! Marceline, you should totally let Thomas stay with you!"

Marceline: "I mean, if he wants to. Two immortals sharing space makes sense."

*Thomas looks surprised*

Thomas: "You would really want me to stay? We barely know each other."

Marceline: "Look, being immortal is weird and lonely. I've been dealing with it for a thousand years, and you're just starting to figure it out. We could help each other."

Thomas: "I... that's very generous of you."

Jake: "Plus, you guys both like music and high places with good views!"

Finn: "And you both understand what it's like to lose everyone from your past!"

Marceline: "Finn, Jake, you're being way too obvious."

*But she doesn't disagree with them*

Thomas: "If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble... I would like that very much."

Marceline: "Cool. But I have rules."

Thomas: "Of course."

Marceline: "No touching my bass without permission. No reorganizing my stuff. And if I'm working on music, you give me space unless I ask for help."

Thomas: "Those seem very reasonable."

Marceline: "Oh, and one more thing."

Thomas: "Yes?"

Marceline: "You have to help me with grocery shopping. Flying around carrying heavy stuff gets old after a few centuries."

*Thomas laughs*

Thomas: "I think I can manage that."

*The next day, Thomas officially moves into Marceline's cave. Since he doesn't have any possessions from his old life, Finn and Jake help him gather some basic necessities.*

Finn: "So this is your room!"

*Marceline shows Thomas to a spacious cavern with a natural opening that provides a beautiful view of the Land of Ooo*

Thomas: "This view is incredible."

Marceline: "Yeah, I thought you'd like it. You can see the sunset from here every night."

Jake: "And look! There's even a little ledge where you can sit and think!"

*Thomas walks over to the ledge and sits down, looking out over the landscape*

Thomas: "It's perfect. Thank you, Marceline."

Marceline: "Don't get all emotional on me. It's just a room."

*But she's clearly pleased that he likes it*

BMO: "I brought you a housewarming present!"

*BMO waddles in carrying a small potted plant*

BMO: "This is a singing flower! It will keep you company!"

Thomas: "A singing flower?"

*The flower immediately starts humming a gentle tune*

Thomas: "That's... actually quite soothing. Thank you, BMO."

BMO: "Yay! BMO is helpful!"

*Over the next few hours, they help Thomas settle in. Marceline shows him around the cave, pointing out important areas*

Marceline: "Kitchen's over there, bathroom's down that tunnel, and this is my music room."

*The music room is filled with various instruments, recording equipment, and scattered sheet music*

Thomas: "This is impressive. You have quite the collection."

Marceline: "I've had time to gather things. Feel free to use any of it if you want."

Thomas: "Really?"

Marceline: "Sure. Just ask first."

*Thomas picks up an old acoustic guitar*

Thomas: "I used to play a little. Before the war."

Marceline: "Let's hear it."

*Thomas strums a few chords, playing a melancholy melody from his past*

Thomas: "It's an old song from Vug. We used to play it during festivals."

*The melody is hauntingly beautiful, filled with nostalgia and loss*

Marceline: "That's beautiful, Thomas. Really beautiful."

Finn: "Dude, you're amazing! You should totally jam with Marceline!"

Jake: "Yeah! You guys could start a band!"

Marceline: "Slow down there, stretch. Let the guy get settled first."

*But she's clearly interested in the musical possibilities*

*That evening, as Finn and Jake head back to their treehouse, Thomas and Marceline find themselves alone in the cave for the first time.*

Marceline: "So, how does it feel? Having a new home?"

Thomas: "Strange. Good strange, but still strange. Everything in my life has changed so dramatically."

*He sits on the ledge in his room, looking out at the stars*

Thomas: "The constellations are different too."

Marceline: "Yeah, the war messed up a lot of things. Even the sky."

*She floats up and sits beside him*

Marceline: "You know, when I first became immortal, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me."

Thomas: "And now?"

Marceline: "Now I realize it's given me opportunities I never would have had otherwise. Like meeting you."

Thomas: "That's kind of you to say."

Marceline: "I'm not being kind. I'm being honest. It's nice to have someone around who gets it."

*They sit in comfortable silence for a while, watching the strange, colorful sky of Ooo*

Thomas: "Marceline?"

Marceline: "Yeah?"

Thomas: "Thank you. For giving me a chance, for sharing your home, for helping me find my place here."

Marceline: "Thank you for bringing new music into my life. And for reminding me that being immortal doesn't have to mean being alone."

*Thomas smiles, feeling more at peace than he has since waking up*

Thomas: "You know, I think this might actually work out."

Marceline: "Yeah, I think it might."

*From somewhere deeper in the cave, they can hear the faint rumbling of the Cave Wurms*

Marceline: "You'll get used to the noise."

Thomas: "After a thousand years in a silent pod, I think I'll welcome it."

*As the night deepens, they each retire to their respective areas of the cave. Thomas lies in his new bed, looking up at the cave ceiling and listening to the sounds of his new home*

Thomas: "Home... I never thought I'd have one of those again."

*And for the first time since waking up, Thomas falls asleep not with sadness for what he's lost, but with excitement for what he might gain.*

*The next morning, Thomas wakes up to the sound of Marceline playing her bass. The music echoes through the cave, creating a surprisingly pleasant natural amplification.*

Thomas: "Good morning, Marceline."

Marceline: "Morning. Sleep okay?"

Thomas: "Better than I have in... well, a thousand years."

*He joins her in the main living area*

Thomas: "That song you're playing - it's new?"

Marceline: "Yeah, been working on it all morning. It's about starting over."

Thomas: "Seems appropriate."

Marceline: "Want some breakfast? I've got... uh..."

*She looks around her sparsely stocked kitchen*

Marceline: "Actually, I mostly just eat red things. Being a vampire and all."

Thomas: "Red things?"

Marceline: "Red berries, red apples, strawberries... the color red has all the nutrients I need."

Thomas: "That's... actually fascinating. But I should probably eat normal food."

Marceline: "Right. Guess we should go shopping."

*They head out into Ooo together. Thomas is amazed by the variety of food vendors and strange creatures selling various items*

Hot Dog Guy: "Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here!"

Thomas: "That hot dog is... talking."

Marceline: "Yeah, everything talks here. You'll get used to it."

Choose Goose: "Choose Goose has the juice that's loose!"

Thomas: "And that goose rhymes everything he says?"

Marceline: "That's Choose Goose. He's annoying but he's got good stuff."

*As they shop, Thomas starts to understand the daily rhythms of life in Ooo*

Thomas: "This is all so wonderfully bizarre."

Marceline: "Bizarre is Ooo's middle name."

*They return to the cave with supplies. As Thomas puts things away, he realizes he's starting to feel at home*

Thomas: "Marceline?"

Marceline: "Yeah?"

Thomas: "I think this is the beginning of something good."

Marceline: "Yeah, me too."

*And as they settle into their new routine, both immortals realize that sometimes the best things in life come when you least expect them - like finding family in the most unlikely places.*
