And when that salsa cloud had you by the tail...
Ha ha, yeah.
And I swung him around into that golden cactus?
Man, that was algebraic.
Yeah, man, that adventure was tight.
Yeah.
I can't wait to get back home, though.
Yeah, me too!
I need some sleep.
I'm gonna play some "Battle Wars" with Neptr on BMO
for an hour, then work on that flier for PB's laser recital and
catch up On my correspondence with my pen pal Danny Gladiolas
from over in Maryville.
Great minds.
And then next what I'm gonna do is I'm —
Whoop!
Finn?
Finn! Ohh!
Oh...
What the...?
Man, where's this supposed to be?
Uh, excuse me? Sir?
Hmm?
Oh! You're awake!
Oh, that's wonderful!
Oh, thanks.
Hey, where am I, anyway?
Why, this is the famed Kingdom of Huge, of course.
You fell through that crack in my ceiling and landed in
a normal-sized pie.
Mm-hmm.
Well, my friend up top is probs pretty worried about me,
so I'd best get going.
Can you give me a boost back up to that crack or whatever?
Oh-ho-ho!
No, no, no.
Don't be silly, child.
Your friend must be on his way to find you right now.
You should wait for him here, or you could miss each other.
Hmm.
I guess that does make sense.
Of course!
Besides, you're just in time
to witness the chiming of my wondrous clock!
It's set to do its chiming in merely an hour's time!
"Krimber"?
Come! Food Boyz!
Shower our guest with the kindnesses of Huge!
We will await the clock's chiming in style and comfort.
Dig in, child.
There's always more to come!
Mmm.
Oh! Apple scruffs!
Just wait till you see my clock!
Oh, good.
You're awake.
Good, good, good, good, good.
How you feeling?
My — my cabbage aches a little.
What happened?
Well, here I was, playing some freecell, and then, wow,
you fell down the hole.
You bounced off parachute #2 and landed on three old walnuts.
Parachute? Hole?
Walnuts?
Fell down? Wait!
You mean we're falling right now?
Thanks for your help, buddy, but I got to go!
Whoa. Hold up!
What's your hurry?
My friend's still up top.
He could be looking for me, or he could be in trouble and every
second I'm down here, I'm falling further away.
I got to get back!
Uh, I think that's a pretty bad idea.
You were unconscious while you were falling, remember?
So you might have been falling for weeks or even months.
Trust me — it's possible.
This is a very deep hole.
If you try to climb out, you could run out of food.
But I've got to do something.
I feel like you should probably not starve to death
so that when your friend comes looking, you're still alive.
Hmm...
You know, I think you're right.
Finn is a pretty heroic kid, I got to admit.
He'll probably be here in half a gif.
Oh, good, good.
Well, till then, please make yourself at home.
Here, have a walnut.
Thanks, man.
I'm Jake, by the way.
Hi, Jake. I'm 7718.
Strange name, I know, but I'm pretty sure.
See, I carved it in the floor when I first got down here so
I wouldn't forget.
But you can call me Seven for short.
Oh!
Oh! So marvelous!
Oh!
Ooh-hoo-hoo!
Ah-ha-ha!
Oh. Oh, my.
Oh, my.
Well, that was actually pretty cool,
but I should probably get going.
Wh-a-a-a-at?
But how can you leave now?
The clock is set to chime again in merely an hour's time!
I feel like Jake should've been here by now.
I mean, what if he's lost or — or hurt?
But this is not the Huge Kingdom way.
Sorry, man.
I got my mind made up.
Thanks for the food, though.
Food Boyz, seize the child!
Ah!
I'm sorry, son, but this is for your own good.
If you just stay put, all you need will come to you in time,
like it has unto me.
But you must sit, you must wait.
Yes. Yes, tie him up with normal spaghetti and bring him food,
yes!
Soon you will see, my boy,
all good things come to those who wait.
It started out as a day like any other.
I was a door-to- door sales bear,
specializing in candles and playing cards,
making my way to the Candy Kingdom like I'd done
200 times before.
I guess my horse got stung by a bee or something,
'cause all of a sudden,
he just skronked the math out.
We went off-road, and I got thrown back into my wagon.
When the shakin' stopped, I crawled out,
only to find I was wedged deep in a hole and sinking fast.
I had just enough time to rig up a parachute,
and I've been falling ever since.
Sometimes walnuts would fall
into the hole and sometimes rain.
And I guess that was enough.
Mm. So how did you pass the time?
Well, for a long time, I just waited to be rescued.
599 Mississippi...
3,600 Mississippi...
But that was crazy-boring.
So then I got really into freecell
and things got a lot better.
Freecell?
Yeah, it's like solitaire,
but there's very few unsolvable shuffles.
Mm.
It's a great game.
Great game. I really love it.
But it's nice, you know, to have someone I can play freecell alongside of.
Yeah, man.
You know, also, I know some other card games we could play.
You know, together.
I forgot there were games like that.
And then there was another time —
this was several years back —
The clock chimed early and I thought,
"Oh, boy. Here we go."
But it turned out,
one of the Food Boyz had simply gotten wedged under...
Finn!
Huh?
Are you listening?
Of course.
Food Boy in the clock.
Huh. Yes...
Anyway, as I was saying,
one of the Food Boyz had gotten himself wedged in the clock's...
All right, buddy,
let's run through this again,
'cause we're only gonna get one shot.
When the clock strikes 12:00, I beckon kindly to yonder
Food Boyz.
Hey, you guys like clean jokes?
Then chuck some delicious food in their mouths.
Having never before known generosity,
they'll immediately make me their leader and undo my spaghetti.
Ha ha!
Then, with a perfectly timed serving tray,
I'll deflect the hunter bot's brass arrow.
Swift but delicate,
the arrow will gain heft via the chandelier bat's filched
asparagus.
Meanwhile, the serving tray from before has entered phase two,
sending Ken Mangosteen careening into the clean silverware...
but also, the asparagus arrow has caused a domino thing of
food to happen, culminating in a huge lemon falling!
It's not a perfect plan, but with a little luck,
I think it's got a good chance.
Hey, you guys like clean jokes?
Ha ha!
What the —
Food Boyz, seize the child!
Unh!
Finn?
Finn!
There's nowhere to run, Finn.
You know you'll never escape.
I'm not trying to escape anymore.
I'm gonna murder your stupid clock, you psycho!
No!
Yep!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yaaah!
Grrr!
N-o-o-o-o-o!
Jake!
Oh! Hey, Finn!
Who's your new friend?
He's not my friend! He's bad!
He kidnapped the heck out of me!
Why you...
What are you gonna do about it?
Maybe I'll go ahead and kidnap you t—
Ohh!
Whoo!
Ahh...
Hey, Seven...
Now that you're out of that hole,
what's the first thing you want to do?
Hmm...
Oh!
I want a giant flippin' hot dog.
Mmm!
Ugh...
Don't you know those things are made out of, like,
the grossest junk?
Man, I don't give a toot!
This party is so crazy!
