"Safety patrol!" Finn hopped out of a gang of tall grass with a hearty look. Y/n rolled from her spot on the far right and held up her makeshift spear, which was a safety knife tied to the end of her bat.
"Safety Patrol!" She yelled too with a cool smirk.
"Safety Patrol!" Jake jumped from the bushes and repeated giddily, "Safety patrol! Safety patroooll-- oh" Y/n and Finn looked in the middle to see Jake in an actual patrol outfit, orange cone on his head and all.
Y/n covered a laugh with her hand while Finn questioned his brother. Jake looked downcasted at them, each wearing their regular clothes. "Were we not wearing the uniforms?" Y/n shook her head, giving Jake a pat before walking off.
Y/n spoke softly to herself as she looked around, "Cool lil' place." she smiled as she took in the peaceful air, soon being broken by Finn pulling her down to the ground in caution, "Look out!"
"Ack--!" Y/n laid a blow on top of Finn's head with her staff, "What was that for, doofus!?"
"Look. . ." Finn pointed to a small town in the distance that stood still, quietly. It was a small town with a low population. The buildings couldn't be more than 2 inches. "Oh, it's just tiny house people."
Y/n sniffed as she chewed grass silently, "Cute."
Finn pulled out a pair of binoculars and started to look closer. "Maybe it is just regular ordinary, not sinister ordinary—oh, no, wait... Grass ogre," he stated, seeing the ogre terrorizing the townspeople.
"Haha! Hey, chicken, you're travelin' egg-spress!" the Ogre laughed while shoving a chicken into a mailbox.
Finn pulled the binoculars down and sighed in annoyance. "It's an obnoxious grass ogre."
Y/n sucked in a bit of air. "Ooohh, the worst type too," she stated, leaning in further to get a look at him.
The ogre started to laugh at his pun, looking around to see if anyone else got it. "You get my joke, right?! Hahaha!" As he laughed, a Barn House rushed up to him with a fist raised in the air.
"Careful, you oaf! Those chickens are rentals!" he was shot down with eggs which splattered all over him. "Agh!" he cried out.
Donny was squeezing the chicken to make it shoot out more eggs. He fired more at other unexpecting houses. "We're havin' so much fun, huh?!" he was stopped when a Jail House ran up with a badge in hand.
"Drop that chicken!" he demanded. The ogre tilted his head in confusion. "You're under arrest!" Donny slowly moved forward, making Jail House think he was giving up. "Good... Now get in your tiny cell..." he opened the cell door, which was too small for the ogre. "Oh, uh, oh!" the Jail House exclaimed, being picked up.
Donny laid him on his back, making it impossible for him to sit up. He continued to laugh while Jail House struggled to get up.
Finn ran up before taking a stance. He pointed defensively at Donny. "Hey, ogre! Stop hazing these cute little houses!" he demanded.
"Ya jerkball!" Jake added.
Y/n held up her weapon in a threatening way. "Your harassment won't be taken lightly."
"My name is Donny, idiot!" the tall ogre retaliation. Finn blushed in embarrassment.
"Sorry. I was just tryina' get your attention." he said. Donny got down closer to Finn's face.
"What kinda houses are you supposed to be? A... stupid... uh... a dumb house?! Haha!" he let out a laugh before turning to Jake. "Hey, what's with your jowl?!" with a quick hand, he flicked Jake's jowl.
Jake flinched back in pain. "Ow!" he moaned.
"And you! I've never seen anything like you. What's up with your body?" he questioned, going to poke at Y/n's skin. She jumped back with embarrassment. Her face was flushed and she let out a grunt in anger.
"Back off man!" she yelled out. Donny ignored her with a laugh.
"Hahaha! I'm gonna mess with these housies some more." he went to walk off, but Finn stepped in.
He was quick to jump on Donny's back, holding onto him in a tight grip. "NEVER!!" he shrieked.
Donny paused as he felt Finn weighing him down. "So you wanna wrestle, huh? 'Cause I know, like, this ninja move to get out of this lock instantly!" he tried to move around with Finn, but his moves were failing him. "Okay... Now, first I..." he stopped talking when Finn squeezed his head tightly. "Hey! You're doin' it wrong!!" he yelled out.
While Finn was fighting, Jake started to mess around with his ability. His finger started to stretch weirdly. He paused in awe at the sight. Y/n started to watch him too, feeling almost entranced by it. "I want to look away but I can't..."
"You're doin' it wrong!" Finn cried out. Donny glanced up in confusion.
"Whaddaya mean?" he asked.
Finn moved around, twisting Donny in a specific way. "First, you roll your right shoulder forward..." Donny picked Finn up, doing what he said.
"Like this?" he questioned. Finn moved around once again.
"Yeah, but then I counter it by doin' this!" he quickly grabbed Donny again, squeezing him.
Y/n leaned against her staff with a raised eyebrow, "What's the point of showing 'im how to lose?"
Donny struggled against Finn's grip. "Hey!" he yelled. Donny started to pant heavily as Finn's grip loosened.
"Um... You need to take a break?" he asked the ogre, a bit worried about his reaction.
Donny shook his head in response. "No... but if you need to, we can stop...Ya baby." he insulted Finn, who jumped off.
Jake came back to reality seeing Finn on the ground. "Whoa, I zoned out there for a bit. Did you win?
Finn shook his head in response. "Nah. Just takin' five. Donny's pretty good." he complimented the ogre.
Donny blushed while looking to the side. "Yeah, well, you're okay, too..." Finn smiled at the compliment he received.
"Thanks, man."
"...For a complete idiot!" Donny finished off, laughing at Finn's descending ego.
Jake grew angry at Donny taunting Finn. "Donald, quit all this jerky nonsense! Unless you wanna get gored by a forest prince!" Jake's ears turned into sharp antlers, which mainly took the shape of a leave-less tree.
Donny flinched back while putting his hands up. "I was just kiddin' around, but then you took it too far! You guys are the real jerks!" he crossed his arms before kicking some grass away. He mumbled a little before rushing away.
Jake shook his head at the sight. "Donny is one mixed-up dude," he stated.
"Nah. He's just rough-and-tumble, like me, but deep down, he's probably really sensitive, like me." Finn said, placing a hand on his chest.
"No he's a utter and complete. . " Y/n swung her staff skillfully before sliding on the ground, watching the grass-ogre go away, "Waaad."
Jake paused at Finn's statement. "You're a mixed-up dude, too!" he said. Finn rolled his eyes in response before cupping a hand around his mouth.
"Hey, Donny!" he called out to the ogre. Donny was quick to turn around.
"What?" he asked, unsure of what Finn wanted.
"I was thinkin' that since you're a pretty good wrestler, maybe you'd wanna hang out with a couple a' rascals like the three of us!" he said, his tone upbeat.
Jake paused while putting his hands up. "What?"
"Yeah what?" Y/n shot up defensively.
Donny seemed skeptical about the idea. "Muuuh... I don't know. Messin' with these housies is pretty fun. You got somethin' better?" He asked, kicking his foot to the side.
Jake quickly brought Finn and Y/n in a huddle. "You sure this is a good idea?" He asked.
Finn turned his head to speak over to Donny. "If you come to the Tree Fort, we got video games and apple juice!" He called out.
" Really?!" Donny reacted excitedly. He quickly turned with a puff, trying to keep his emotions in. "I mean... if it keeps you from cryin'..." he muttered, shyly fondling with his fingers.
Finn turned back into the huddled to speak in a hush. "Donny's problem is that he's treated like an outsider, like me."
"You are not an outsider. You wear cute little blue shorts!" Jake retorted.
Finn paused for a moment, having a feeling come over him. "I... am complicated."
Y/n rolled her eyes at his words. "No, you just think that to seem mysterious."
After a little walk, the four returned to the Treehouse. Donny looked around, pretending to not be impressed. "Uh... This fort isn't so great. Not as cool as the fort I'm gonna build."
He tried to boast. He sat down in a chair, staying sat up. "I call this chair!" He called out, setting his feet up on the coffee table.
Finn walked close to him, setting up a game in BMO. "Hey, Donny, you should play Bug Battle." He said.
"And hey, can you put on some pants?!" Jake asked, getting annoyed with Donny.
Y/n moved Donny's feet from the table in one quick motion, "And learn respect. "
"You put on some pants!" Donny retaliated.
Jake put his hand down and grabbed some see-through fabric. "I have pants spun from spiderwebs... by pixies." He quickly added at the end.
The game started and the music grew intense as more bug characters moved to attack Donny's character. Finn leaned over his shoulder, trying to guide him.
"Okay. There's you, and here come the bugs." He pointed out. Donny's character started to destroy the bugs, which made him laugh in glee.
His fun was stopped when a spider from above grabbed his character and killed it. "Huh?!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah. Those guys'll get ya." Finn spoke, knowing how it feels to get caught by the spider.
"Urgh!! This game cheats!" Donny broke the controller in half and through the parts of BMO, knocking them off of the table in the process.
Jake shook his head, judging Donny. "Not cool, dude."
Finn backed away from him before grabbing a juice box. He handed it over to Donny slowly. "Have more apple juice. It always makes me feel better when I-" his sentence was stopped when Donny took the juice box and squeezed it, covering Finn in the juice.
Y/n threw the spear near Donny's head making him jump with fear in his eyes. Y/n shook her head and huffed, "Wad. . . "
"Aaah! Donny! Quit being a jerk!" Finn yelled at Donny while wiping the juice from his face.
Donny backed up slightly, getting offended. "What? What'd I do?" he asked.
Jake pulled Finn to the side in another huddle. "Finn, I don't think this is gonna work," he stated, trying to be honest with his opinion. BMO walked through an area between Y/n's legs, causing her to jump slightly.
"I am incapable of all emotion.... but you are making me chafed!!" they spoke, pointing at Donny. He flinched back while putting his hands up defensively.
"Everybody's gettin' mad at me for nothin'!" Donny moped.
Finn turned to him, crossing his arms in the process. "You have to think about how your actions make other people feel."
Donny paused while putting a hand up like he understood his words. "Ohh. Hmm... I don't understand at all." he stated with a shrug.
"Ooh! Teach him that little empathy song I taught you!" Jake jumped up in excitement.
Finn smiled at the idea. "Okay, yeah!" he moved in front of Donny and started to dance. "Empathy, empathy, put yourself in the place of me!" he presented his arms out to Donny. "Your turn!" Donny stood and moved his arms around, trying to remember the words.
"Uh... Empathy, empathy, put yourself..." he passed before gasping. "Ohh! So it's like, when I squeeze eggs outta chickens, I should let them squeeze eggs outta me, too!" Y/n brought a hand up to her face, letting a sigh out through her nose.
Finn looked to the side nervously. "...Um... kinda right."
From outside, screams echoed throughout the valley. Finn gasped at the sound. "Someone needs our help! Jake, Y/n, you guys stay here and try to fix him, while I deal with an unknown possibly deadly emergency!" he ran off before the two could say anything else.
"Dude, trade me jobs," Jake whispered, but it was too late.
Y/n grabbed the spear from inside the wooden chair and glared at the ogre, "I'mma teach him a lil' sum' too."
Donny had knocked something over and he instantly turned to Jake."Jake! Someone broke your... um... entire living room!" he said, trying to avoid any blame.
Jake facepalms, while Y/n walks to over Donny before flipping him over by hitting the back of his knees and pushing forward.
"Ah- what the flip, girl--" Y/n pointed the tip of her blade to Donny's face with a dark stare. "H-hey. . "
Y/n moved a leaf from Donny's face with the blade before backing away, slowly, "get up."
Donny furrowed his eyebrows in frustration as a blush crept on his green cheeks. He got up and pushed Y/n's shoulders, "You don't get to tell me what to do--! " Y/n grabbed an arm from Donny and twisted it before taking her knee and bending it. After a scream, Y/n pushed him to the side and smack his rear with the side of her spear.
Jake grabbed his favorite mug and sat on the same chair Donny was just in, a line across his forehead as he look anxiously at the scene. "Hey, Y/n, this is the opposite of what we're trying to teach him."
Y/n clicked her tongue and shook her finger side to side as she circled a wounded Donny, "No, no, no. You'll have him when I'm finished." Jake's worries seemed to fade quickly and he began to play BMO with another controller. "Just be careful yeah?"
"Uh-huh."
Donny tried hard to insult her back, but he just scurried back in fear while Y/n smirked as she walked forward.
After a few hours of beating and singing, Y/n sat down with octagon-shaped glasses and began to sew pants for Donny, her aura less threatening. Jake wrapped around Donny's arm while he taught him another song,
♬♩♪"Bees, Honey and crystal skies
Always tell ladies they have nice eyes
Carrots, peas and light green trees
If you be mean they'll treat you like fleas." ♪♫
Y/n chuckles and nods as Donny quietly repeated the song back before looking over to the female with downcasted eyes. He nibbled on his grassy lip before calling over to her, "Hey, miss Y/n?"
"Hm? " she hummed not looking up from her work
"I'm. . . I'm sorry for being rude and junks before. That was uncivilized and gentlemen-like of me and... And I really was a flea."
Y/n hummed again before looking up at him with a smile, "Yes sir, you were. But with the work of myself and Jake, you are one fine, man, " She walked over to the two guys and handed the newly made pants in his arms, and moved her glasses to the top of her head, "Sir Donny." She said gently.
Donny's cheeks flared as he looked down at the female, his eyes glistening in admiration. He smiled back, brightly, missing teeth and all.
That moment stayed for a little longer before it was broken by BMO tugging on Y/n's pant leg, "Hey, N/n, how'd you learn all those cool moves," BMO tried to copy her but fell, making Y/n let out a soft chuckle and pick BMO up.
"Well little one, I learned by the order of the wind and was trained by an overlord who lost his crown to his evil step-brother."
"Really?! "
"Whoa that's so cool!"
Y/n nodded as she cleaned her fabric up while Jake raised an eyebrow as he thought. "Isn't that the one tape we watched--"
"Quiet, Jake, let me dream." The group laughed together.
After an hour, Finn returned panting. "Donny, you have to go right now, and stop the Why-wolves from—" his words were stopped when he saw the scene in front of him.
Donny was playing the cello, Jake his viola, and Y/n her silver trumpet with her name engraved in it. They stopped playing and looked over at Finn "Ah! Master Finn has returned!" Donny greeted him.
"What's it goin'?!" Finn asked, almost concerned with how Donny was acting.
Donny stood, showing off his new look. "Thanks to you, I shall never be jerky again!"
Finn's eyes widened. "Oh, no... Oh, no. Oh, no, nonononononono! No! This is all wrong! We need jerk Donny to make the obnoxygen, and, and—" he stopped rambling when Donny placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Steady on, Finn. Perhaps you are dehydrated! It's as Jake taught me '~8 ounces, 8 glasses, 8 days a week!~' I'll fetch you some tap water." he turned ready to walk off to get some water. Finn's eyes went down and saw his pants.
"Are you wearing jeans now?!" he exclaimed.
Donny nodded joyously. "Surely! '~Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly!~' I wrote that one myself. Perdoname." he walked out of the room quickly.
Y/n let out a jovial laugh before flopping down on her bean bag, "He's a cutie." She laid back with her hands behind her head in contentment.
"But, but, but—" Finn's stutter was stopped while Jake wrapped his arms around him.
"Butt, butt, butt! Yeah, Donny! You're lookin' good in those jeans Y/n made!" he called out to Donny while he was out of the room.
Finn turned and grabbed Jake by the shoulders. "What did you do?!" he exclaimed.
Jake shrugged. "Miraculous, isn't it? I just kept teachin' him my musical rules, and now, he's perfect."
"And I taught him how to be respectful and disciplined," Y/n pointed her finger to the anxious boy with a smirk, "just like I have to when you don't respect my feminity." The girl laid back again, sinking deeper into her bag, "Always respect the lady glob."
Finn shook his head quickly. "No! We messed up, Jake! The House People are doomed if Donny doesn't go back to being town jerk!"
From the entrance, Donny stood holding a glass of water. He cleared his throat gaining the boys' attention. "I have no intention of being a jerk again. Hmph." he sat the glass down before crossing his arms.
"But the housies will be wiped out if you don't!" Finn exclaimed. That caused Y/n to open her eyes and sit up.
Donny nodded his head in agreement. "It sounds tragic, but I'm turning over a new leaf!" at the words he turned the leaf on his head around.
Finn ran up and tried to grab and pull him. "Donny, you gotta go!" he urged.
"Finn, "no" means, "no." I'm sure you'll respect my wishes." Finn and Jake looked at each other before they started to forcefully drag Donny out. "No! Stop! No!" he yelled out while being taken to the village where the housies lived.
Y/n follows along with furrowed eyebrows and her fist clinched on her staff.
When they reached the village, they all saw the chaos that was happening in the village. "Now, go be a jerk to those Why-wolves!" Finn pushed Donny forward.
"No! I'll use my musical messages to stop them!" Donny spoke. Finn and Jake's mouths hung open in shock like they couldn't believe what they were hearing. "Let's see... I've got one on the ethics of laundry... Crosswalk-ery... Ooh! Here's a good one!" he thought of a perfect song to sing.
Finn looked around, seeing the poor houses getting hurt. "Man! The town is getting creamed! By not being a jerk, you're being a real jerk, Donny!!" he called out, but was ignored.
"~Comb your hair right! It's a good time! Sticky, sticky pomades, short back and sides!~" when no one listened or responded, Donny, looked around confused. "Why isn't anybody paying attention to my words?"
Finn heard Donny's words."He sure is sensitive about his songs!" he gasped as a thought emerged. "It's cuz they think your songs are dumb!" he called out to Donny.
"Wha?!" Donny exclaimed, feeling upset.
Jake pulled Finn's attention. "What're you saying?! If you don't encourage his talent, he might revert back to jerk Do-" he paused in realization. "OHHH, OHHH! HEY, DONNY! EVERYONE SAYS YOUR SONGS ARE SUPER BALLS!!" he called out.
"They all think you're a real jerk!" Finn called out
Donny shrunk at the words "But... but I've changed! Why would they say that?!" he tried to meekly sing while a blush appeared on his face. "~Empathy, empathy, put your mind insi...~" he stopped his singing when other house people and the Why-wolves laughed at him
Y/n sighs and looks away at the bullying, her heart aching. She scowls at them smacking one with her spear.
"You're so pathetic! So comical!" A Why-wolf called out. The houses laughed at him more before Donny gritted his teeth in anger.
"Rrrrr... Think I'm a jerk do they? I'm feelin'.. obnoxious!!" he ripped off the pants in rage as the obnoxygen released from his body. "HEY, YOU WHY-WOLVES ARE COOL! JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHA!!" he laughed.
A Why-wolf gasped in shock. "Obnoxygen cloud!! EGRESS!!" they yelled out, running away. Donny grabbed and punched some of the Why-wolves in the process.
While the wolves ran, Y/n joined in the fight and cut up some of them while kicking some in the gut. After launching off one, she flipped and blew hair from her face, "I despise. . . Waaads. " She pouted as she looked at Donny, all her hard work completely thrown away.
". . my pants" she whispered
Once the Why-wolves were gone, the townspeople turned and cried out in glee. "The town is saved!!" then they gathered around Donny, crowding around him happily.
"Get offa' me, nerds!!" Donny yelled, trying to push them off.
Finn smiled at the sight. "You did it, Donny! You're a full-blown jerk again!"
Donny turned to Finn with a glare. "What?! You're the jerk!! Housies! Ready to hear my new song?! It's about how Finn will betray you, just to save lives!" he yelled out with some tear gathering in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Donny," Finn said, looking down gravely.
Donny looked off into the distance, crying. "I'll never forgive you, Finn!!" he yelled out before grabbing a chicken. "WAAAAAAH!!!" he cried out while spraying the people with eggs.
Jake wrapped his arm around Finn, moving him away. "C'mon. We can go stare wistfully at the lake."
"I'd... I'd like that. Very much." Finn said, sighing tiredly.
"Wuss. " Y/n smacked Finn on his butt with her spear as she walked with a smile, "Gonna have to straighten you back out, with the ORDER OF THE WIND!! "
"NOOOOO"
"Haha!" y/n laughed as she chased after Finn as Jake stretched into a link, "Hey, hey me too!! "
Donny continued to pelt the houses while laughing. "Hey! I love bein' a jerk! Thanks, Finn! Y/n?" he looked off where the heroes were before seeing they weren't there anymore. "Ugh, you losers!" he paused before a sparkle appeared in his eyes. "I'll never... forget you!" he whispered.
My editor and I are gonna try a schedule and see if it works well. It would help us make two chapters a week, so expect that soon. Other than that, you guys have a good day/night!
