Chapter 26: To Pepperland
Jeremy danced around the Submarine cheerily, accidentally knocking over Roger's house of cards. This earned him a vicious glare but he carried on skipping anyway.
Finally, he got bored and pulled his typewriter out of nowhere. Blue stared at him, confused. Had he been keeping it in his fur? The Boob set to work typing out some new poems. "Why do you love writing so much?" Asked Blue curiously. It had never really been her thing.
"A drop of ink can make a million think!" Replied Jeremy cheerfully, before continuing with whatever poem he was writing.
Blue mulled this over in her mind. Although it sounded like nonsense, there was actually some quite deep meaning in what Jeremy said.
"It's a darn good thing you know how to get to Pepperland." Finn spoke, interrupting her thoughts. "Because we didn't have a clue."
"There's a certain spot in time and space; and to get to Pepperland that is the place." Jeremy rhymed, before shouting suddenly "Left! Left! Left!"
Finn jumper up and swerved left, knocking down Roger's cards again. He stood up frustratedly and snapped "What the heck was that!"
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Screamed the Boob.
Finn stopped the Submarine as quickly as possible, causing Roger to fall over. When he stood up, he was fuming. "You could have given us a better warning!" He growled at Jeremy, who replied "You put yourself at risk by standing up! So in your anger, do back up."
"Shut up Jeremy." Said Emily quietly. "You'll just make him more annoyed."
"Ah, but people do not make you annoyed, you choose to be annoyed as a response!" Snapped the Boob, uncharacteristically ditching his rhymes and usual cheeriness.
Finn rolled his eyes. "Roger could pick a fight with a wall. Just admit you're wrong and we'll be on our way."
Jeremy narrowed his eyes but admitted his mistakes, "A better warning I should have given, then the ride would have been better driven." Roger snorted haughtily. "Well. I guess we should go to Pepperland now then."
The others nodded. "We are still in Nowhere Land." Observed Emily, looking up for the first time from her baguette. Finn sighed. "Weren't you listening to the plan before? This is the spot in Nowhere Land that will take us to Pepperland if we go through the portal here."
"Oh. So it's kind of like we're in a parallel dimension?"
"Yeah, I suppose."
Blue was baffled. How did it mean they were in a parallel dimension? It didn't make much sense to her. She and Jeremy went outside to place the portal cubes, the Boob rhyming all the time. "Through space and time, away we go! This really is quite an adventure, you know?"
When they had created the portal, the first thing Jeremy did was stick his head through it to check they were definitely heading to Pepperland. "Behold! Here is the place we wanted to know! Pepperland is right there, so let's go!"
"You do realise you just used the same two rhyming words twice?" Said Blue skeptically. Jeremy ignored her.
He hopped cheerily into the Submarine, followed by Blue and announced "The portal is ready! Let's start off! 3! 2! 1! Take off!"
Finn steered the Submarine towards the portal; and drove straight through it. There was a flash of blinding white light.
"Pepperland, here we come."
