Knock, knock.
Yo, Peebs, you want to make a midnight squeez-e-mart run?
I'm gonna drink the red
from out the customers' bloodshot eyes.
Psych.
I'll probably just get a slushie.
Bubblegum?
Bonnibel!
Wha...?
Ugh! What are you doing here!
Be not afraid, child.
It is I... The One True Princess of Ooo!
Where's Bubblegum?
Whoa! Relax!
Bubblegum is fine... Just fine.
And deposed... And powerless!
So crushed by defeat was she
that the tyrant exiled herself to a sad cabin
on the shores of Lake Butterscotch...
Technically, still Candy Kingdom territory.
But in my mercy, I've allowed her to remain.
You're the princess? Since when?
Well, by the reckoning of my "New Torontian Calendar"...
Ooo's official calendar...
Uh, two glorious months.
Two months?
But... but, then, why didn't she t...
Bubblegum!
Tell Bubblegum I wear her nightgown!
Tell everyone!
Huh?
Bonnie!
Marceline. What up?
Ugh. Why didn't you tell me you got throne-jacked?
I gotta hear it from that wax fraud!
Be cool, Marceline.
Let's all be real cool.
Give us a minute, Peppermint Butler.
Hmm!
Hup, hup, hup, hup...
Well?
I didn't get jacked. I quit.
But yeah, all right, I should've told you.
I was just embarrassed.
And it all happened so fast.
I'm still trying to sort things out,
see things rationally.
Huh.
Well, you could have talked to me about it.
Yeah, 'cause you're so dang rational.
Ha ha.
I'm sorry. That's mean.
I'm trying to be less mean.
That's why I'm starting fresh
with a new kingdom out here...
Just me, Pep But,
some pretty stars.
Ugh. And, of course, some varmints.
- Varmints? - Varmints!
Raiding my pumpkin patch every dang night!
After all my sweet bio-engineering?
The nerve of these varmints.
Not tonight!
So, how long you gonna sit out here for?
Long as it takes.
Uh, all right, yeah.
Let's get these varmints.
Um... yeah.
Pbbbb, pbht-pbht-pbht-pbht,
pbht, pbht, pbht, pbht-pbht-pbht.
These must be pretty good pumpkins, huh?
They're citizens of my garden kingdom...
100% loyal garden citizens.
That reminds me...
So I was in the Grocery Kingdom last Sunday,
'cause free samples, you know.
They had these, like, shrimp cocktail dealies.
So good!
I was sucking the sauce off them
and hucking the shrimp at the ceiling.
I kept going back for more and more samples.
I could not stop myself.
I don't know, man.
The shrimp must have gone bad or something,
'cause all that red came right back up.
Still invisible and yakking red all down the produce aisle.
It was awesome.
Hey, you remember that one time...
Hey!
Varmints!
After them!
Varmint hole!
Aw, nuh-unh!
A ding dang varmint hole.
I can't believe my sweeps didn't find it.
Well, you found it now.
So, what next?
Next? We dig.
Hmm.
This looks like a delivery tunnel
from the old rock-candy mines.
Huh! We Haven't been down here in hundreds of years.
Remember when I'd get you out
of those stinky cheese kingdom trade meetings
and we'd sneak down here and spray-paint the walls?
Um, I am pretty sure
it was me who found you vandalizing my property.
Yeah, but I got you to tag something, didn't I?
I bet I could find it.
Here. Come on.
We used to follow the mine car rails,
cracking jokes, telling stories.
Whoa! The broken bridge!
Remember? You jumped across this!
You were so scared.
Mm, I think I was just trying to prove something.
Bonnibel Bubblegum... Always so prepared.
Yeah, I have to be "always so prepared."
We can't all just "wing it."
I didn't have to always worry
about so many things, you know?
The Candy Kingdom used to be so small, so manageable.
But then it kept growing and growing,
and there was always some new disaster
to prepare against.
Is... that why you stopped talking to me?
No, I...
Bring it, ya dern pumpkin munchers!
It's a freakin' mother varmint!
Ugh!
Marcy, cover me!
No problem.
Yaaaaaaaah!
Psh!
Uaaaaaaaaaagh!
Gah!
Yah!
Ew!
Marceline! Look out!
Huh? Unh!
Ugh!
Marcy!
Ugh!
She's going to bring the whole tunnel down!
Yeesh!
My snap-back!
In there!
You got any more gadgets?
Um...
Some bandages, a pen, unpaid Internet bill,
and... a strawberry lip balm.
Ahh.
Maybe we can find something useful around...
Ohhhh!
Your tag!
We actually found it.
Man, your handwriting hasn't changed at all.
Still as prissy and prim as...
What?
Hey, hey! Whoa. Wait.
I didn't mean...
I like your handwriting.
I think it's... Really pretty.
It's... it's not that.
I lost my hat.
We can... Get you another hat.
I lost my hat, lost my home, lost my people.
I can't even keep dern varmints out of my pumpkin patch!
Oh, Bonnie, you're...
I tried.
I really, really tried.
I just... I thought that if I shut everything out
and just focused on work, it would all be okay.
But look where that landed me.
All I managed to do was push everyone away.
I pushed you away.
I'm sorry, Marceline.
I've been a real dinger to you.
Come on.
What are you even apologizing for?
Unh! Oof!
Uh... how about we not get buried
under a metric ton of rock-candy rubble?
The field generator!
Aw, geez!
Okay, uh, maybe I can rig up a graffiti bomb
or a rudimentary rock-candy cannon or... or...
What?
This time, I'm prepared.
I've been watching these dudes pretty close.
I think I can varmint-style dig us through the wall.
It's just a shame about your tag.
I don't want to mess it up.
Naw. It's good, I think.
Mess it up.
Dig, dig, dig, dig!
Yo! Varmints! Ya hungry?
I'll eat you! I'll eat your mom!
I'll eat your eggs! I'll...
Whoop!
Thanks.
Boing!
I'm crazy-tired, Marceline.
I think I have been for a long time.
But those varmints are still out there, waiting.
Eh, worry about it tomorrow.
I'll keep a lookout tonight.
I will watch the heck out of this pumpkin patch.
Come on.
Well, okay.
Maybe for a bit.
Don't let me sleep too long.
Promise to wake me up in 15 minutes.
I promise.
Uh... can I come back now?
