NAP: To the Memory Moon 24

Chapter 24: Plants vs Zombies!

Out in the school halls, the Freelancers, remaining emotions, and Ford darted around before noticing Princess Bubblegum, donning a labcoat, walking down.

Nic: Turn around!

She stopped, looking back at them.

Princess Bubblegum: Friends...

Ice King: Princess, (notices) why are you wearing something similar to our friends?

Princess Bubblegum: I figured that if I can keep Finn happy this way, then it would be enough.

Ice King: (worried) PB, I don't know about this. What if Finn's happiness doesn't actually go quite as planned?

Inez: PB! I know what you are planning to do.

Princess Bubblegum: I know that you know.

Inez: (frowns) Yeah? Well I know that you know that I kn-

Discord: (quickly) Uh let us handle this. (to Princess Bubblegum) Are you stupid or something?!

Princess Bubblegum: Look, your contract is to send him to the moon and my emotion is joyful and happiness. And the only way for that to happen and make Finn happy...is if Finn is motivated to do so.

Scarlett: But if that means removing Rose, then what's the point?! The reason why he even wants to go to the moon in the first place is because she died!

Grim: Which means that, in reality, his wanting to go to the moon really means that he wants to die to get there!! Don't you know anything about figures of speech or metaphors, you dumb woman?!

Princess Bubblegum: I know. But you're legally bound by the contract to specifically-

Arnab: You know what? (frowns) **** the contract! I didn't take this job to make him miserable, PB. I don't know about you, but I was signed up to help the freakin' geezers die happy!

Inez: Me too. And I like this job.

Dr. Viper: I'm afraid PB isss right about the contract. And I don't want Finn to be missserable either, but if we directly go against our legal obligations, we'd be in for court hearings.

Psycho: We'll appeal. We know that Finn'd be happier to NOT go to the moon.

Princess Bubblegum: Finn would be happier with a lot of alternate life tangents, Psy.

Inez: We are not here to play God...our job is to give him what he signed for. And THIS isn't what we had in mind!

Nack: (to PB) Well, we happen to know what he wants better than he does!

Princess Bubblegum: (sighs) Look, I'm only risking losing Rose because I believe in her, and-

Nousagi: What do you mean 'risk'?! You're removing her!

Princess Bubblegum: And besides, I will make up for it.

Scarlett: (glares) Make up for it how?! In case you forgot, you're an emotion, NOT a person!

Dr. Viper and Black Mamba, however, pondered a bit before the serpents looked seriously.

Dr. Viper: The girl'sss right. It needsss to be done.

Meowth: (yelps) What?! Did you two lose your marbles are something?

Black Mamba: He needsss to be motivated to get to the moon, right?

Inez: (worried) You guys don't understand! By erasing her, the entire desire's pointless!!

Arnab: (frowns) Listen, I have to tell you that-

Just then, the area began flashing red, much to their shock with Meowth looking at the monitor.

Meowth: HOLY CRAP! The heart monitor's gone red!

Black Mamba: We're running out of time!!

The three backed away from their comrades.

Dr. Viper: Look, jussst trussst us!!

The trio tapped their watches, quickly vanishing from the area.

Meowth: (snaps) Says the one who pushed me off the ****ing lighthouse!!

Nack: Quick, let's use the watches before-

To their notice, the area rumbled, causing everyone to scream with the area turning blue. As that was happening, many of the Freelancers yelped as the hallway flattened to a straight path.

Psycho: Did you just-

At that moment, the lights began flickering before turning off the entire area.

Scarlett's Voice: Ugh! Freakin' light data!

Ford's Voice: Abusing your powers doesn't disable our controls entirely, you three!

Nack's Voice: (looks around) Ugh, so dark here.

Batula's Voice: Ve probably should've brought Blaze vith us. She can see in ze dark after all.

Psycho's Voice: Ah, we don't need her. And besides, we're still together. So people, stay close.

Arnab's Voice: Just stay by me. I can probably conjure a light after a few moments. (pauses) Wow...Ford, your skin feels soft and your butt's a little rounder.

Scarlett's Voice: (uneasily) That's me, Arnab. You're touching me.

Arnab's Voice: (erotically) He-he-he. Now that makes more sense.

Nousagi's Voice: (angrily) You have 2 seconds to let go of her before I blind you!!

Finally, the flashlight on Sleet's hand was turned on.

Sleet: Oh finally.

Then, to his notice, he saw Dingo picking his nose before he noticed, yelping and trying to wipe the booger off the wall.

Dingo: He-he-he. Sorry, Sleet.

Sleet turned his flashlight around, noticing Nack sloppily chomping on some chips before he stopped, noticing.

Nack: (muffles) What?

Just then, a familiar figure in ballet clothing hummed and danced, pilating before noticing, looking a bit awkwardly to the group.

Grim: (sweatdrops) Uh, I think I'll go change, okay?

Grim quickly darted back into the dark.

Ford: (shouts) Where are you, Bubblegum?

Mr. Grumpy: You with those snake cats are in a lot of-

He yelped, almost hit by a flying globe and nearly pinched by the spikes appearing.

Mr. Grumpy: BOOBY TRAPS?! (frowns) Really, you three?!

Dr. Viper's Voice: Jussst trying to buy sssome time!

Meowth: (dryly) Thanks for telling us.

Inez: (frowns) Well stop it!

Princess Bubblegum's Voice: Not until we fix Finn! He NEEDS to be happy!

Jake: Finn won't be truly happy with these fake memories! (shouts) And we're gonna make sure his true happiness is what he already has.

Batula: Besides, haven't you heard of ze phrase, "The grass is always greener"?

Sleet: Look, just stay away from anything that pops up or tries to hit us!

Most slowly moved a bit, dodging some PCs being tossed.

Nic: (shouts) Those are some very expensive pieces of equipment you're all tossing!

Dr. Viper's Voice: Ssserious! Jussst stay put and wait until we're done!

Nousagi: (frowns) Seriously, shut the **** up!!

Black Mamba's Voice: You don't have to be a dick!

Dingo: Oh piss off, bitch!

As they continued onward, Nack glared a bit.

Nack: Come on, don't make us exit this whole crappy thing and unplug you two!

Princess Bubblegum's Voice: Would you REALLY risk distorting his memories as they are?

Black Mamba's Voice: Ssstop trying, pleassse! Thisss won't take long!

Meowth: We ain't stopping 'til we smack your faces!

The area began blinking a bit.

Psycho: Ugh, not again. Is this gonna be like those Creepypasta stories?

Discord: If it does, then we're in Hell.

Mr. Bump: Or worst...to the underground Sister Location! Fredbear said those guys down there scare the fur off of him sometimes.

Everything turned off.

Bowser Jr.: Ugh, lousy batteries!

Dr. Viper's Voice: Oooor come find usss at the end of the hall.

The light turned on briefly as they evaded the traps, going down the long hallway before Meowth yelped, almost hit by the spikes popping up.

Meowth: Ugh. Stupid equipment!

He stopped, rubbing his foot as they, not noticing, left him. After a few moments, they approached where Meowth was wincing and holding his foot.

Ford: (shocked) What the-!? We're going in circles!!

Mr. Bump: No wonder Fredbear feels....

Suddenly the sound of someone throwing up is heard, making everyone looks down, confused to see some fluff on the floor.

Ford: (confused) Fluff?

Mr. Grumpy: (frowns) Crooked Cucumbers! This is getting ridiculous. What else can go wrong?

Just then, they heard growling, stunning most and making the cowards shiver.

Cherokee: (fearfully) Oh no...something dangerous is coming!

Psycho: (gasps) Oh Dear God...fanboys must be lurking nearby!

Nack: Or CFs!

Mr. Bump: (horrified) It's worse!!

Just then, to their horror, they saw what appeared to be animatronics of a sort approaching.

Bowser Jr.: Gah, what's this?

???: Everyone stay in your seats. The show will start momentarily....

Hase: (yelps) Oh no!

???: Deep Underground, Where Memories Sleep, Anger is Restless, and Secrets Don't Keep.

They watched the spotlights hit where the animatronics were.

Discord: (frowns) AND it's worse.

Bowser Jr.: Oh God, they're going to sing!

A clown faced girl robot holding a microphone approached as she grinned.

Girl: Hi there.

Billy: (screams) AHHHHHHH!! CLOWN!!!

Grim: (face palms) Oh you've gotta be freakin' ki-

Mandy: Ugh! Not again.

Jake: (panics) AHHHH!! IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU THREE, PB?!

Mr. Bump: Oh, oh! I got a joke! Hey Fredbear, who's that lady I saw you with last night?

A pause as Fredbear said nothing.

Mr. Bump: (laughs) Ha ha ha! That's a good one, Fredbear!

LSP: Ugh, I can never understand this guy! It's freaky!

The robots motioned their arms to them.

Psycho: Oh god!

Miss Chatterbox: (yelps) EEEP! Dear lord, they aren't just zombie animatronics...THEY'RE ZOMBIMATRONICS!!

Arnab: (raises his arms) I got this!!

He zapped the area, causing plants of a sort to spring up.

Arnab: (nervously) D-d-don't come any closer! We have plants!

Bowser Jr.: Yeah! Plants that look like they're doing absolutely nothing! Ugh, we should've found and brought in Bushroot. (pauses) I wonder how his jail time's doing?

Arnab: (annoyed) Are you done?

Inez: Let's get it over with...quick!!

She snatched some plant pots, tossing it to the animatronics, which hit.

Psycho: Damn. It's like a Plants vs Zombies thing going on over here.

Mr. Bump: Do a barrel roll!

Scarlett: Wrong game, stupid!

The pots from the non weapon users were tossed with the hunters firing their guns, hitting and destroying the created animatronics.

Nic: This is for your own good!

Ice King: (sighs) Whew! These things were good for something after all.

Discord: (notices) What the-?!

He looked, noticing the frozen scene of Finn and Rose talking as teenagers.

Discord: Hoo boy. They're almost done!

A ding noise is heard. The gang saw Psycho taking some Pop-Tarts from a toaster.

Psycho: Correction: NOW they're done.

Discord: (takes one) Thank you. And it looks like those three almost finished with memory altering.

Inez: (worried) Nooo! They can't!

Jake: (worried) I know! Finn won't have Rose and the Rose that struggled would end up pointless and...

Boulders almost ran them as they screamed, quickly moving as fast as they could.

Nack: It's the Rolling Stones! Ha ha ha!

Most: Ugh!

Nic: (annoyed) Shame on you.

Ford: (seriously) This whole thing is just a loop! (frowns) And it's not stopping!

Arnab: (glares) Oh **** this!! (to Nousagi) Get angry!

Nousagi: What?!

Arnab: Your psycho powers only work when you lose your temper! And since you're shirtless and beardless right now, we're desperate! So get angry!

Nousagi: I'm already angry about this!

Arnab: (frowns) It's not enough, dummy!!

Princess Bubblegum's Voice: Can you stop pestering Natsumi? We're concentrating!

Nousagi: (twitching) Wh...what...(growls) did...you call me?!

Nack: Okay, desperate times call for desperate measures. (shouts) NATSUMI! YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S ASS IS FAT!!!!

Scarlett: What?!

Psycho: (shouts) AND SHE HAS A ZIT IN HER BUTT!!

Nousagi: (growls) What was that?!

Jake: (yelps) What are you doing?!

LSP: You dummies! You're gonna-

However, the others quickly covered LSP and Jake's mouths, realizing. As they continued, Nousagi's face turned more red with anger while the animatronics began approaching.

Discord: (smirks) Also, you're old and fat, Nelvana. And you're not sexy.

Dingo: Yeah, I bet your mom was a real whore in your past life!

Tron: Plus your tea collection stinks! I mean calming teas? Ick. I rather drink root beer!

Nousagi: (struggling) Stop it! Stop it!!

Arnab: (sighs) It's not working. May as well.

Arnab snatched Scarlett, quickly kissing her, stunning her and shocking the wizard rabbit.

Girl: Wow, Dumb Bunny...I didn't think your girl was that desperate.

Finally, the rabbit furiously turned to the animatronics as he glowed.

Nousagi: She isn't...and my name...(glowing) IS NOUSAGI!!

In fury, the animatronics were snatched up with the rabbit moving his arm and slamming them around.

Ford: (shocked) Man, he's got issues.

Meowth: (approaching) Yeah, his powers look like a combo of Mewtwo, Carrie, Sabrina, and Sans' powers combined when provoked.

Mr. Bump: Or worst, Carrie!

Meowth: (annoyed) I said that already!

Mr. Bump: (confused) You did?

Miss Calamity: Ugh, dummy.

Finally, as the robots were smashed to pieces, the wall was broken off before Nousagi groaned, kneeling to the ground and panting in exhaustion while Scarlett shoved and slapped Arnab.

Scarlett: Jerk!

Arnab: Ouch!

Nack: Nice. BTW, we didn't meant all that stuff. We said it just to get you angry for your help.

Psycho: Yeah, we had to do so. Although I wasn't sure if Arnie kissing her really WAS part of the plan.

Arnab: (gets punched) Ow.

Nousagi: (groans) A little warning ahead next time you do so?

Ford: (looks at the wall) What the...? There's an opening that probably leads to where those three are.

Inez: (lifts Nousagi) Come on, we can still stop them.

Ford: (to Nousagi) Your girlfriend's right. There may be still time!

Nousagi: Nezzie's not my girlfriend.

Justitia: (worried) There's no time for judging right now! We need to move...NOW!!

Most were shoved with Inez quickly following.

Inez: I hope we're not too late. (realizes) And don't call me Nezzie.
