Chapter 29: Too Young
(This is a Briar Episode, she basically is going to replace young Princess Bubblegum for this chapter)
[The episode begins at the Candy Castle. The camera zooms in as Briar speaks in voice over.]
Briar: Finny? Finny? Finny! Where are you? I need you to try this!
[Finn is waiting outside Briar's room at the Candy Castle, looking inside]
Finn: I'll be there in a sec! [takes phone from backpack, calls Jake]
Jake: What's the status?
Finn: Good, man!
Jake: You sure you are ready for this?
Finn: Yeah, I finally managed to get Y/n's approval. I know she's been flirting with me since we met, but I think I am finally ready to reciprocate.
Jake: Nice! Seal the deal, bro!
Finn: [laughs nervously] Okay, man! Whatevs!
Jake: You can do it, you hear me?! [quickly] I'm playin' BMO with Ichigo—call me later, bye! [hangs up]
BMO: How's Finn's date?
Jake: I think it's goin' good.
Ichigo: If anyone is going to date her.... he's the best choice at least.
Jake: Huh thought you would go into an older protective brother frenzy.
Ichigo: If that's the case wouldn't you do the same with Finn?
Jake: Touché, now you ready to get your butt kicked?
Ichigo: Bring it on!
[Return to Candy Castle]
Finn: Okay, Finn. She's 13; you're 13. She might have a terrifying father but that's okay. Just have fun! Be yourself. [raises arms above head in robotic way] Wooooo!
[Continues saying "wooo" as he walks over to Briar, and sits down beside her. She is wearing science goggles and tinkering around with potions.]
(Briar has an interest in science not because of Bonnie but because of her father)
Finn: What's that?
Briar: Instant Bath Serum. It's basically going to make you sweat soap.
Finn: Huh, mind if I try it out?
Briar: Go ahead, I'm sure you'll find it to be perfectly...mild.
[Finn takes the potion, guzzles it down. Face turns red, and he screams.]
Finn: WAAAUGH! Hot, hot, oh—WAAAAUGH! Oh... so spice! So spice!
Briar: [kneels down beside Finn and touches him playfully] YOU'RE so spice!
Manfried: Bwaaa bwaaa bwaaaaaa! [imitating trumpet] Announcing the arrival of the Earl of Lemongrab!
Briar: Oh no... Mother warned me about him.
[Lemongrab, on Lemon Camel, enters castle gate, frowning. He sees Cinnamon Bun swinging from a trapeze]
Cinnamon Bun: Heh hah hah- AAAAUGH! Oof! Ha ha ha!
[Cinnamon Bun falls from trapeze, landing on the floor with a loud "splat" and sending sticky dough flying. He laughs and tries to scoop it back up into his belly]
Lemongrab: This castle is... in... UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIIIIOOOON! UNACCEPTABLLLEEE!
[Candy people mutter among themselves, wondering who this strange yelling man is]
Lemongrab: [points into the room] Thirty days in the dungeon!
Cinnamon Bun: [still on floor] For who?
Lemongrab: Everyone in this ROOM! [raises his arms up over his head, and his eyes widen] MMMLLUUUUUGH!!!
[Briar and Finn rush to the scene]
Briar: Wait, wait! You can't give orders like that! I'm in charge here, Lemongrab!
Lemongrab: Who are you?
Briar: I'm Briar Takanashi-Calliope-Abadeer, daughter of Y/n Takanashi-Calliope who is the husband of One Princess Bubblegum. I was left in charge while my mother and papa are on errands.
Lemongrab: [eyes widen again nervously, he points at Briar] TOO YOUNG! TOO YOUNG TO RULE THE KINGDOM!
[Finn jumps up and scoldingly slaps Lemongrab on the hand]
Finn: Watch your manners with her!
Lemongrab: [cuts Finn off, holding his hand] HHHHUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOH?!
Finn: What the huh?
Lemongrab: MMMM! [purses lips] HAH! [gasps, and begins rubbing his sore hand] I am next in line to the-
Briar: Techinally Ichigo is.
Lemongrab: Ichigo?
Finn: Her Older Brother who is the son of Princess Bubblegum and Y/n.
Lemongrab: Where is he?
Briar: Not here right now...
Lemongrab: Sooo... I will be in charge... UNTIL PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM returns!
Finn: That's bunk! Right, Bria?
Briar: [sighs] Techinally he's a rightful ruler since mother created him. Since I'm not related to Mother by blood he techinally overpasses me.
Finn: [gasps]
Briar: From what mother and papa have told me. He's an experiment gone wrong.
[Flashback to Lemongrab's creation. A Younger Bonnie and Y/n are looming over a bed/table, on which is lying Lemongrab, who doesn't have a face. Bonnie sticks a nose on him in the manner of someone sticking a carrot nose onto a snowman. Y/n reaches for a vial on a nearby table, and pours the liquid onto Lemongrab's face. Features start to form, and he gains a mouth and a pair of closed eyes. Suddenly, his eyes snap open in fright, and he groans loudly.]
Lemongrab: Nnnnnnuh!
[He sits up quickly, and frantically flaps his arms at Bonnie and Y/n]
Lemongrab: Gaaaaaah!
[His eyes roll back into his head, leaving only the whites exposed as he screams.]
Y/n: Jesus Christ!
Lemongrab: EEEEEEAAAAAAGH!
Bonnie: [looking mortified and frightened, she gasps]
Y/n:
[The scene returns to the castle at present day, and Briar continues]
Briar: And since I'm younger then him and Ichigo isn't here. He has the throne now.
Lemongrab: IF ANYONE NEEDS ME I'LL BE TAKING A NAP! A...a-a-and CLEAN this place up or dungeon! THREE HOURS DUNGEON!
Starchie: Who are you talking to?!
[Lemongrab suddenly points at Starchie accusingly, and the candy people gasp]
Lemongrab: THREE! HOURS! DUNGEON!
Starchie: [clenches fists and screams in outrage/defeat] NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!
[Lemongrab leaves the room with a blank expression on his face]
Finn: We'll see you in a few hours... okay, Starchie?
Briar: It's not that bad down there. It only gets bad when it gets very crowded.
Starchie: [walking away dejectedly] Yeah, right... If Starchie ever survives that long...
Briar: Finny, this is dirt balls! We gotta do something to make him leave!
Finn: Yeah... like pranking him up his face!
Briar: Finny you cute stupid genius! I got the perfect prank! Cmon, Finny!
Finn: What did you say cu-
[She takes Finn's hand, and they run off]
[The next scene shows Lemongrab, sleeping peacefully in a small, dark room of the Candy Castle. Finn and Briar loom beside his bed and smile at him mischievously. The teens stick two corks into Lemongrab's "ears" to prevent him from hearing their activities. He continues sleeping as they work. They set up an elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque prank in the room, do a fist-bump, and leave. Lemongrab's alarm goes off, setting off the last part of the prank. The prank causes a ping-pong ball to gently bump into Lemongrab's forehead. He sleepily opens his eyes, to see a large note saying "YOU REALLY SMELL LIKE DOG BUNS" beside him.]
Lemongrab: [sleepily] Huh? [reaches over to nightstand, puts on reading glasses, squints, and keeps his hand on the side of his glasses as he reads to himself] "You... really... smell... like... ... dog buns"...?
[Clenches fists in outrage, widens eyes, and opens mouth up wide to emit a long, cracking scream that continuously rises in pitch until it becomes a girlish shriek]
Lemongrab: NNNUUUUuuuuuooooooooooOOOOOOOOUUUUUUGGGGHHH!!!
[The next scene is in the hallway of the Candy Castle. The candy people are lined up beside the wall as Lemongrab paces nervously, with Peppermint Butler by his side.]
Lemongrab: Well, well, well... IS THIS EVERYONE, THEN?!
Peppermint Butler: Yes, all the castle staff.
Lemongrab: Sooo which one of yooou WAS it?! Who did... the THING?!
Upside-Down Ice Cream Cone: The... thing?
Lemongrab: [clenches fists angrily] FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-- [eyes widen]—UUUMMMM!!! [unpockets the Dog Buns note, and unfolds it, showing it to the Candy People. He points at it, trembling frantically] THE THING, THE THING!!!
Peppermint Butler: Hey, man! Calm down! [gently tugging on the leg of Lemongrab's jumpsuit] It's just a prank, man! For laughs!
Lemongrab: Prank? F... for... laughs? [looking confused] Yes, of course... Just a harmless prank... f-for laughs... Ahhh... [bursts into a wide, jovial grin, then suddenly looks startled, and begins laughing, with the same startled expression, as his head bounces with every laugh as strange squishing noises play over the soundtrack] HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH- OH! HAOAHOAHAOAHOAHAOAHAOHAO
[The candy people look frightened]
Peppermint Butler: Heh, heh...
Lemongrab: [continued] HAHAHAOAHAHAOAAHA- [facial expression returns to his usual blank one, and he abruptly stops laughing. He turns to Peppermint Butler and says quickly:] Twelve years dungeon. [turns to Candy People] All of you—dungeon! Seven years, no trials! [shakes head disapprovingly] C'mon... LET'S MOVE IT!!!
[Briar and Finn are hiding behind the wall]
Briar: [sighs] I think we just caused an innocent man to go to jail Finn. That prank backfired.
Finn: What? No, no! He just needs some more prankin's to finish the job! He'll leave the kingdom. Let's try it my way this time, okay?
Briar: Okay!
[She grips his hand.]
[Cut to the next scene, where Finn and Briar are in her room, cutting up sheets to make ghost costumes. They exchange smiles, and put on the sheets. The two run out of the room, waving their arms and whooping loudly. Lemongrab is standing in the hallway, minding his own business. As he sees the little ghost pranksters, he turns his head with mild curiosity. Instead of scaring him, Finn suddenly delivers a hard little punch to Lemongrab's tummy]
Lemongrab: OOF!
[He doubles over in pain, holding his sore belly and wincing. Briar pushes him onto the floor. The sound of glass breaking plays over the soundtrack as Lemongrab falls to the ground, curled up in a fetal position, while Finn and Briar run away happily]
Lemongrab: [whimpers softly, as fat tears stream from his eyes] Cough, cough! [he continues to cry pitifully, obviously in much pain] Oooooh... [He suddenly looks up with a smile on his face at Briar and Finn as they run off, and laughs a broken, cracking laugh, triumphantly raising his fist into the air] Ha, ha-ha... GOOD ONE! [coughs a terrible-sounding cough into his fist, and cringes again, then looks up at the pranksters with another smile] Keep 'em coming! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!! Ho... ha... Ah-ah-oooow!
[Lemongrab doubles over again, still crying and moaning loudly. Finn and Briar, still wearing the ghost costumes, run off down the hallway, grinning as Lemongrab's pained cries fade away]
Finn: I got a new plan!
Briar: What is it Finny?
[Scene changes to the rooftop. Finn and Briar are sitting side by side on the roof.]
Finn: We'll work together and use that serum you made. The one that was "Ah! So Spice!" And spice-bomb him non-stop 'till his butt falls out! How's that sound?
Briar: [sighs, and smiles contentedly, leaning her head on Finn's shoulder]
Finn: Hoooo! [exhaling nervously, his cheeks red with blush]
[Scene changes to a small room in the Candy Castle that appears to be under construction, with half-painted walls and unopened cardboard boxes everywhere. Lemongrab is seated at a small table. Peppermint Butler approaches him, holding a golden platter of food covered by a silver dome.]
Peppermint Butler: Thank you for releasing me early from the dungeon, Master Lemongrab.
Lemongrab: I determine what is early, and what is late, Mr. Peppermint! [Closes his eyes and makes a slight bowing gesture to his butler]
Peppermint Butler: Yes, Your Earlness.
Lemongrab: Also... I don't know where food comes from! [points at Peppermint Butler]
Peppermint Butler: My Lord, food comes from Ma--
Lemongrab: AHHHHtatatataNO!! That's why I am royal and you are servile!
[Briar and Finn are hiding in the ceiling, watching Lemongrab and Peppermint Butler converse]
Finn: You ready to pour the stuff?
Briar: Yeah! I made it super-hot this time! Genetically bred PEPPER X. This baby hits at 2.693 Million on the Scoville Scale.
Finn: Wait 'till he opens the lid!
Peppermint Butler: Behold: a plate of mashed carrots, flavor--
[A drop of spicy serum falls into Peppermint Butler's eye, and he screams]
Briar: Aww crapbaskets...
Peppermint Butler: HHHHAAAAAAA!!! HAAAAAAA! HAAAAAAA!!!! AAAAAAAGHAAA!!!!!
Finn: Shh!
[Peppermint Butler throws lid aside.]
Lemongrab: [screaming] STOP SCREAMING!!! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!
Peppermint Butler: Because I'm excited by this meal I made!
[A drop of serum lands in carrots, Peppermint Butler rubs his eye, and Lemongrab calms down.]
Lemongrab: Me, too. I'm excited, too.
[Lemongrab grabs a fist full of mashed carrots and pops it into his mouth. Something's wrong- his eyes widen, and he looks sickened, his face quickly turning a vibrant, dark shade of red. Suddenly, he projectile-vomits the carrots into Peppermint Butler's face, and starts screaming]
Lemongrab: HHHHUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
[Still screaming, Lemongrab stands up, blinded by pain, and starts walking away unsteadily, only to approach the window and fall out of the tower. He falls quickly through the air, still red-faced and screaming. Surprised Briar, Peppermint Butler, and Finn watch Lemongrab fall into the ground heavily, his whole head smashed into the earth. Lemongrab pries himself up and gasps for air, shoveling handfuls of dirt into his burning mouth. His face quickly turns a healthy yellow again.]
Peppermint Butler: He's eating the dirt! SPICE IT NOW!
Briar: SAY LESS!
[Briar drips 2 drops of serum into the dirt, and Lemongrab's face reddens again as he screams, bolts upright, and begins running away. Candy people look at him nonchalantly as he runs through the castle grounds, screaming in agony.]
Peppermint Butler: He's heading for the orchard!
[Lemongrab, screaming and whooping loudly, shakily approaches an apple tree, resting his hands on his knees for a moment, obviously exhausted. He feebly reaches his hand up to the tree, in which Finn, Peppermint Butler, and Briar are hiding in.]
Lemongrab: Apple!
[The earl jumps up to get an apple. He gets one, but the weight on the branch causes him to fall down onto his back. He moans. His falling causes the tree branch to shake, and Peppermint Butler is jostled out. Peppermint Butler falls into Lemongrab's mouth. The earl grabs Peppermint Butler and begins sucking on him to relieve the spice. His face turns yellow once again, and he smacks his lips a few times. He continues lying on the grass, looking straight up at the tree branch.]
Lemongrab: Mmmm!
Finn: Heh, heh... heh! [laughs nervously, as Lemongrab spots him and Briar]
Earl of Lemongrab: OOOOOONE MILLION YEEEEEEEARS, DUNGEON!!!!
[The scene cuts to the dungeon, where the castle staff, Finn, Briar, and Peppermint Butler are imprisoned. Briar currently has a pillory on her.]
Briar: Stupid Lemongrab, he should have known that I bite when I'm in a corner!
Finn: Maybe if we... set his butt on fire.
Briar: No.... we need to get Papa and Mother back here.
Finn: How are we going to do that?
Briar: If I scream loud enough using my powers, papa should hear me.
Finn: You can do that?
Briar: Yeah but it takes a lot of power. I'll need the power of a whopping love hug to give me enough energy.
Finn: What do you mean-
Briar: OH MY GOD FINNY! YOU DENSE IDIOT!
[In a sudden move Briar breaks out of the pillory and grabs Finn by the collar before kissing him.. She glows brightly for a second before she turns around and motions for everyone to cover their ears. She then screams.]
Briar: PPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAA!
[Suddenly within a split second the wall of the dungeon is blasted open.]
[Standing there is Y/n.]
Y/n: Bria? What happened? Why are you in the dungeon?
Briar: Lemongrab is here and he took over.
Y/n: Where's your brother?
Finn: Hanging out with Jake.
Y/n: Welp, that means as Prince of the Candy Kingdom by Marriage guess I gotta take over..
Briar: But what about mother? Is she going to be okay at the meeting.
Y/n: Sweetie, if I'm being honest. I'm glad you screamed for me. Gave me a valid excuse to leave that place. Now if you'll excuse me. [Gently nudges Finn and Briar aside, and approaches the dungeon door] Yo, Earl!
Lemongrab: [from far away] WHAAAAAT?!
Y/n: Hey! You're fired, ya BUTT!
Lemongrab: HHHHHRRRRRGGGRRRUUGGHHH!!!!!
[Scene cuts to outside of Candy Castle. Lemongrab is riding away on Lemon Horse, obviously too upset to speak comprehensibly, and muttering to himself in a sulky manner. Briar and Finn sit on the stairs, watching the dejected earl go back home to Lemongrab.]
Briar: I'm so glad everything's back to normal. Thanks for all your help, Finny.
Finn: Oh- you're welcome! But... uhm...
Briar: What is it, Finny?
Finn: THat kiss earlier... are you-
Briar: In love with you? Sure am!
Finn: But why me?
Briar: Cause you are you. Plain and Simple. I don't want anybody else. So if you willing-
Finn: Yeah... I'd like that.
[Briar smiles and hugs Finn who hugs back.]
Briar: I hate to confess and run but I need to go help Papa.
Finn: Oh yeah, have fun.
Briar: Bye Finny.
[Finn's phone rings. Finn answers contently.]
Finn: Hello?
Jake: Hey, man! What's the status?
Finn: It went... really well actually.
Jake: Nice job Finn. I'm proud of you.
Ichigo: Just remember Finn, if you break her heart. I WILL KILL YOU!
Finn: Got it!
[Suddenly Finn feels a prescence behind him and he gets a shiver up his spine as a hand is put on his shoulder. He turns around to see a smiling Y/n.]
Y/n: So you and Bria huh?
Finn: Uh... yes sir!
Y/n: Good [serious face]
Y/n: Let's talk.
[Finn gulps as the episode ends]
