AT Presents: The Hard Core

(The Ice Kingdom, we start inside The Ice King's castle where he's preparing a breakfast for himself and his captured princess, Lexicon Princess, a royal made out of the pages of an aged book)

Ice King: (while whisking some dough with a claw hammer) Now princess, prepare to have yer taste buds beaten to a pulp, cuz this cake packs some extra taste! That's why I'm whisking it with a hammer! (Shows her the dough stained hammer) see? See?

Lexi: Please Ice King, you're being unreasonable! Let me go!

Ice King: Nuh-uh, no way, princess! I learn from my mistakes, and I'm not losing my sight on you! (Turns and shows her a goldsberg-esque trap her made in front of his door) See? I even took the liberty of setting up this trap when Finn and Jake try to barge in again! They'll trip on the wire, setting a chain reaction to this axe, mallet and cannon! And to clean up the mess, I even made a snow vacuum cleaner-

(While he's explaining all this, Finn and Jake snuck in from the window and unlock the cage with Jake's key-hand. Before they left, Jake builds something)

Finn: (whispering) what are you doing, Jake?

Jake: (whispers while building a snow sculpture of Lexicon) wait, this is killer funny! (Pulls out a steel pipe from Finn's back pack and sticks in inside the sculpture)

(Jake finishes the statue and thumbs-up each other before making a break for it to the window. From there, they sat behind the wall and waits for the Ice King to finish talking)

Ice King: - and that's what the floor rugs are for. So, princess? What do you think of my plan? (He didn't seem to notice that's a sculpture he's talking to)

(out the window, the three are giggling when Finn tires to sound like Lexicon)

Finn: (as Lexicon) That's a truly amazing work Ice King! In fact, it's so amazing; I think I've fallen for you!

Ice King: r-really?! (eyes gleam up)

Finn: (snickers for a while) Come inside and kiss me Ice King! Kiss me like a popsicle!

Ice King: YES! Alright!

(Ice King went inside the cage, also not noticing it's unlocked and he kisses the snow sculpture on the lips. But when he tries to pull himself out, his tongue got frozen stuck on the steel pipe! Ice King frantic his confusion as Finn , Jake and Lexi walks away)

(In the Tome Kingdom, King Bookhead (who literally has the head of a thick book with the pages for a mouth) is congratulating the boys for saving his daughter)

King Bookhead: Finn! Jake! For saving my daughter and playing that killer funny prank on the nerd, Ice King, I shall congratulate you in behalf of my kingdom with this pulp drink that's only made here! Only a few can taste it! So savour it, my dear friends

(Finn and Jake high-five's each other as the Page Maidens pours a cup full of flavoured paper pulp for them. The boy's excitement turned into mediocrity as they look at the unappetizing look of the drink)

Finn: uh...

King Bookhead: What's the matter boys?

Jake:...is this safe to drink by non-Book People?

King Bookhead: Yes!...I mean no...oh, right I forgot you non-Book People can't digest pulp. Well, let me see what we can do to repay you...

Lexi: Wait, father, if I may show these heroic ruffians those resources of a joyous past time they partake, a tome of rareness and sheer merriment!

King Bookhead: Are thou bringing the boys to a quest? Thy glorious daughter?

Lexi: yes, A quest most rewarding!

King Bookhead: hmm, I accept! Finn and Jake! Join my daughter to her secret private quarters of private!

Finn: uh, okay! Will do your majesty!

Jake: these guys talk funny...

(The boys follows the princess to a hidden portion of the castle where tons of aged books were placed and left for ages, untouched. Lexicon pulls out a dusty scroll and shows them the map of Ooo)

Lexi: There's a rare book somewhere in the muck swamp that's guarded heavily in the dungeon of mischief. It's called the Prankonomicon! The most elusive collection of pranks ever pulled by people before the Mushroom War!

(Finn and Jake gasps in awe as Lexicon continues)

Lexi: these pranks are so hardcore; no one of the weakest heart can tame the raw power of the book!

Jake: wait, so no one of the weak heart?

Finn: are you saying WE can tame it?!

Lexi: yes! With what you had shown me today, I can assure thou art strong in thee heart!

Jake: there those funny lines again.

Finn: You got it Lexi! We're no scared of no prank book! Finn and Jake are on it!

(Insert Swirling Adventure Time logo)

(Finn and Jake are standing atop a hill and looking down at the boggy Muck Swamp.)

Finn: there it is Jake, The Muck Swamp! How do we find the book in there?

Jake: (looking at the scroll) Hmm, it says here that the book is located in a dungeon right in the middle of the swamp. It's a small dungeon, so I guess we can handle it!

Finn: draws his Blood Sword) Ready Jake?!

Jake: shapeshifts into an armoured knight with swords, katanas, a spiked shield and a triceratops's skull helmet) READY!

Both: CHAARGE!!!

(The boys ran towards the swamp screaming on top of their lungs when they suddenly saw the dungeon itself, just a few feet away from the swamp's border. Their screaming lowers as they look in surprise and confusion.)

Finn: Is...is that it?

Jake: (checks the map again) oops, sorry, I meant in the opening of the swamp, not in the middle.

Finn: Righteous! That was easy!

Jake: Not really dude, remember, the book's heavily guarded. Who knows what kind of kooky monsters are in there!

Finn: Sweet!

(Finn and Jake enter the dungeon and makes way through the cobweb littered hallways, the interior of the dungeon looks barren and unused for the longest time, but the torches are lit and the smell of barbecue is in the air)

Jake: dude, you smell that?

Finn: (sniffs) smells like Dad's Caturday Lunch special!

Jake: It's a trap to lure us deeper! I say WE KILL IT! YAAHHH! (Charges towards the smell)

Finn: RIGHT BEHIND YOU JAKE! YAAAAHHH!!!

(The boys charges once more and follows the scent of barbecue to a fork. They sniffed the air and points to the left fork and there they saw two Gargoryles roasting a Cow rib)
Gargoryle1: Is it ready?

Gargoryle2: Nah, you got to let the fat drip into the fire.

Finn: are these the book's guardians?

Jake: seems like it.

Finn: they look super evil!

Jake: I dunno, they seem kinda calm-

Gargoryle1: hey! I hear you guys! Come out!

Jake: oop! Busted!

Gargoryle2: you guys here for the book?

Finn: (stood up with his sword pointed at them) YES WE ARE! AND WE'RE READY TO FIGHT YOU, GARGORYLES!

Gargoryle1: WHOA DUDE, take it easy! We're not here to fight!

Finn: you're...not?

Gargoryle1: no, we're here to guard the book and make sure the right and trusted hands would get it.

Jake: we're right and trusted hands! You can trust us! We're heroes!

Finn: Right!

Gargoryle2: Pranks doesn't work that way! Pranking is an art. A prank is for the enjoyment of the prankster, and it takes skill and mental powers to withstand the awesome might of the pranks of the book we guard!

Gargoryle1: if you truly are worthy, then you should show us your best pranks! Prove us your worth, mortal!

Jake: well fine! You doubt me and my bro's pranking powers then you doubt our sole existence! WE ACCEPT YOU CHALLEGE GARGORYLES!

Gargoryles: then it's settled!

Finn: (whisper) Jake, you sure about this man? This guys look tough, they maybe better prankers compared to us!

Jake: (whispers back) trust me on this, dude! I know what I'm doing!

Finn: (whispers)...okay, brother. I got your back! (trusts pounds)

Jake: So?! How do we do this, guys?!

Gargoryle1: easy! You play pranks on random people and we judge!

Finn: what?! That's not fa- (Jake lodges his hand into Finn's mouth)

Jake: sounds good!

Gargoryles: Great!

Finn: (spits out Jake's hand) Jake! They'll cheat-

Jake: Finn, I told you, trust me!

(cuts to the open grass lands, in the border of a forest, Finn and Jake are looking through binoculars while sitting on top of trees while the gargoryles sat right next to them.)

Gargoryle1: found some one yet?

Jake: oh yeah! (Jake spots Cinnamon Bun) A real dork!

Finn: WHAT?! Dude that's Cinnamon Bun! We can't prank him, he's too baked to understand.

Jake: Too late! (Jake forms a slingshot with his stretched arm and the surrounding branches and catapults a water balloon to CB)

Cinnamon Bun: got with the water balloon) ARGH! (stumbles into his back)

(The group laughs at the prank except Finn who felt sorry for CB)

Gargoryle1: classic! But a little too basic-

Cinnamon Bun:  (got hit by ten more) ARGH! Why is this happening?!

Gargoryle2: WHEN DID YOU DO THAT?!

Jake: I got speed gentlemen! Speed! (blows on his fist and rubs it in his chest)

Gargoryle1: sweet! A true prankster must be quick! Okay, fine, you got this round, but you got to prove us in two more pranks your worth, mortals!

(Cuts to Marceline's House. Marceline just woke up from her sleep and she's shocked to see her whole interior's painted white.)

Marceline: WHAT THE LUMP?!

(Outside, Jake and the gargoyles are laughing their brains out, with Jake holding out a paint brush and a can of "permanent white paint". Finn, on the other hand, remains unamused by the pranking)

Gargoryle1: Stealth and patience! A true pranker must master these two!

Gargoryle2: You painted the whole interior white! That vampire's gonna be boiled, man! You're really good at this!

Jake: I told you! I'm a professional!

Gargoryle1: well, don't get too cocky! You got to show us one more prank! Make this one a doozy, or we won't give up that book!

Jake: I accept!

Finn: Jake, we're going too far on this! First Cinnamon Bun, then Marceline! They're forcing us to pick off our friends, one by one!

Jake: hey! If it meant for our pranking enjoyment, I can live with that!

Finn: JAKE!

Jake: just trust me on this!

(Cuts to the candy kingdom at night. At Princess Bubblegum's castle. Finn, Jake and the two gargoryles are sitting on top of Bubblegum's roof.)

Jake: (peeks through the window and sees Bubblegum enters the showers) Hehe, now's the time! (reaches for Finn's back pack again and pulls out a tonic)

Finn: WHAT'S THAT?!

Jake: it's a dye! It's totally irremovable! We'll sneak in and switch her bodywash with this-

Finn: YER GONNA COLOR HER PERMANENTLY?!

Jake: no way dude...YOU'RE gonna permanently color her!

Finn: (flusters red) WHAT?!

Jake: not too loud, kiddo! She'll catch us-

Finn: Jake, this has gone too far! I'm not doing this! If pranking people means hurting them or causing them problems like this then I don't want to be a prankster! It's not worth it!

Gargoryle1: yeesh, kid. Really? How lame can you be?

Gargoryle2: Your friend had sure proved his worth, but you, you're such a baby loser!
Jake: that's okay, just give the book to me!

Gargoryle1: No way, bud. You TWO wanted the book. We can't give it to you if one of youse a baby!

Jake: WHAT?! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ANY OF THIS!

Gargoryle2: well, tough luck, buddy! We're pranksters! Professional ones! We know worthy if we see it and you two ain't worth buck!

Jake: Yeah, I bet you are!

Gargoyle1: What do you mean by that?!

Jake: I bet you guys are all talk! I bet you just brag about you being professionals! You guys can't do pranks!

Gargoryle2: Oh, is that so? Well, we're not that stupid!

Gargoryle1: We know we're hard core prankers!

Jake: (shapeshifts into a chicken)

Gargoryles: YER ON!

(With that, the Gargoryles starts raining pranks on everyone. From lunging cream pies at the candy people, to raining ants on them. From giving them electric buzzers , to exploding cakes. It's pandemonium in the Candy Kingdom and their screams attracted Princess Bubblegum out from her sleep.)

PB: (peeks out from her window) WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! (gasp!) (Sees the two pranking Gargoryles) PRANKSTERS! GUARDS!

(The two Gumball Guardians woke up and starts to make way for the two Gargoryles)
Gargoryle1: HOW DO YOU LIKE US NOW?!

Jake: fine, just one teeny-tiny problem!

Gargoryle1: What's that?

Jake: a true prankster MUST NEVER GET CAUGHT!

(With this sudden realization, the gargoryles suddenly stops pranking, eyes wide open in shock and sees that a Gumball Guardian is glaring at them. It grabs the two stone creatures, prompting them to beg in mercy)

Gargoryles: PLEASE HELP US, JAKE!!!

Jake: I dunno (stretches to them) What do I get in return?

Gargoryle1: You can have the book!

Jake: Deal! (Gargoryles zaps the book into materialization with their eye beams and it fell into Jake's hands)

Gargoryle2: NOW GET US OUT!

Jake: nope!

(Gumball Guardians tosses them both off)

Jake: ( stretches down to Finn) Ta-dah!

Finn: that's great dude, but was it really worth it?

Jake: hehe, dude, it's worth it!

(Just then, Msrceline came down with Cinnamon Bun)

Finn; (shrieks) MARCELINE! CB! OH DUDE, I'M SORRY!-

Marceline: it's okay, Finn! Jake told us it's all a good joke.

(in a flashback, turns out Jake puts little sticky notes on the pranks, explaining everything)

Finn: but, we pranked you. The bad way!

Cinnamon Bun: no you didn't! Look! Mah skin's all glowy! (shows off his milky skin)
Finn: whoa.

Cinnamon Bun: The balloons were filled with milk! (bites his own arm, tires to eat it and laughs away as always)

Marceline: and the paint Jake used on my house comes off in water. It's a little hard, but the house needed some cleaning anyway.

Finn: but the paint says-

Jake: shows him the can and removes the label, revealing it was a fake label and the can really says "gag paint".

Finn: oh! Ohoho, you got me Jake!

Jake: told you y'all could trust me!

Finn: Sweet! We got the book, and we can still keep our friends! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!

PB: Not exactly.

(Princess Bubblegum climbs to the roof to join them. She's not looking pretty ripe)

Finn: Hi! Peebs! Pretty funny pranks, right? (nudges at her)

PB: oh yes, they are, Finn!...but seeing you're willing to take responsibilities, you and Jake will clean the gargoryles' mess up!

Finn and Jake: Aww (groans in disappointment)
(THE END!!!)
In this entry, I wanted to do something concerning Finn and Jake's habit of pranking each other, and kinda mold a story out of it.

The original title was "Prankonomicon" but it's a too similiar to Enchiridion and the original idea had my OC :iconaskmaiden: to be teaching them unknown and rare pranks, only for Finn to revolt against her and ends up being right and rewarded with the book. It ends similarly, but I gave more emphasis on Jake since he's better on pranking.

This might be the most used original minor characters I had for an Adventure Time fanfic.
