[BMO's avatar @MOD (a giant masculine body with three eyepatches) carries Finn and Jake's avatars to his sanctuary. A green, small-rounded, big nosed avatar named Vinny greets them]
VVinny
Well, look who it is! Welcome back to your palace, your majesty.
Hi, Vinny! [slowly lowers Finn and Jake's avatars on the floor]
VVinny
Who's Vinny? I thought I was hereby known as "Get in heeyah!"
I deserve that. I'm sorry I yelled at you. [touches a virtual screen] I've just been so zip-zopped-out over the bip-bops.
VVinny
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who let these two system dumps into the chat room? Know what I'm saying?!
Yes, I do, Vinny. BRB. [opens a giant hole] I'm gonna go deep dope my ping-pong zilp-zorch.
Vinny, can you hook my friends up with some BMO brand avies? [enters hole, closes]
VVinny
What's the magic password? [BMO opens hole]
Please, Vinny. [closes hole]
[having a talk with BMO] So, you really don't want to come with us?
You sure you don't want me to milk you up a fresh new style?
No, I'm used to it now. Why don't you want to come with us?
I mean, I do want to go with you. But I am a beautiful, big man here. All of my instincts are in sync with this computer world. I'm really comfortable here.
What's real? Your eyeballs think the sky is blue, but that's just sun rays farting apart through the barf of our atmosphere. The sky is black.
GDr. Gross
We had to leave our place because the world was dying
And everyone that wasn't dead spent all of their time crying
Our ways had failed, nature had failed, we made a lot of errors
The Founders had some new ideas that made everything better.
The Founders dreamt of this island, our ships landed on its shore
They built our wonderful Guardian to keep destruction from our door
The Hiders fear these new ideas
But do your best to help them
Cause just outside is darkness and death
Disease, monsters and problems.
So come out of your hiding place, come out of the darkness
And we'll find a new way to live by the light of the Founders...
[Kara (Susan) and Frieda lie down and gaze up in the sky full of stars on top of their quarters]
FFrieda
You know, there are people on the other side of the world that are never gonna see these stars. [she waves her hand across the starry sky]
..That's bunk, Frieda. We're the only people left. The islands are like a beautiful safe haven. [Frieda sees a shooting star, contemplates]
FFrieda
I've read all the old stories about 'em, you know? About other places and people. I'd like to see those places one day, and meet those people. They can't all be monsters. [Kara is shocked, whispers to her]
You can't say that, Frieda.
FFrieda
Oh, relax. I'm just globbin'. Hey, watch this.
[she turns on her wrist gadget and forms a projection of a sparkling Kara doing poses. Kara walks to the projection chuckling]
That's not what I look like.
FFrieda
Yeah, it is! Come on, flex! [Kara tries a pose; she chuckles] See?
Wow! Am I really that buff? I look great! Don't you just love this place?
FFrieda
Yeah... [sighs, depressed] Yeah.
[Kara takes a walk down a corridor. She sees Dr. Gross in the classroom tinkering a gadget]
GDr. Gross
Kara! My teacher's pet. And you know I mean that in a good way.
Listen, um... sorry about running off earlier.
GDr. Gross
When you gotta go, you gotta go. But that's not really what you wanna talk about, right?
Well, you know how you always say that humans will find the best way?
GDr. Gross
The Founders get credit for that bit of wisdom.
If someone found a way, that's, uh, different from ours, but seems to work for them, couldn't that also be a good way?
GDr. Gross
Ah. You've heard some Hider preaching, haven't you? Well, listen, kid. We tried exploring the outside world, and we were almost destroyed! We're the last humans, so it's our responsibility to stay here, and it's your responsibility to help these misguided Hiders.
Susan? I mean, Kara? Seems like you're leading us somewhere.
We're taking a ship to Founders Island, because judging by the state of these facilities... [punches through a facility door] Hub Island has been abandoned for over a decade. Dang, I missed big words. [enters a seaport full of rundown ships] This island is where I trained to be a Seeker.
[Kara squeezes herself in the only working ship followed by Finn]
So, wait, why are we going to Founders Island? [Kara sits down]
I'm taking you back to your mom. BMO, would you talk to this console? I can't access it without my implant. [Finn is slowly shellshocked]
Um, you knew my mom?! You're gonna just drop that?!
Her name is Minerva. She's a Helper. [BMO completes configuration] Oh, thanks, BMO. Now let's try and start this sucker.
I heard that you loved me but only for two weeks
To be hopeless or not to be, I'm weak with indecision
Could we begin again on a terrible date?
It would be greatly appreciated by me.
I'll wear my normal shoes this time
Then maybe you'd like me better in the sunlight
If I built a raft, will you stay with me then
And fall in love all over again?

MMinerva
Your world seems so chaotic. Your ruler's a piece of gum, your friend's a vampire, you dated a bit of fire. Your life is constantly in danger!
It's my home. It's where I belong.
MMinerva
As your mother, I think you belong somewhere safe. It's not your responsibility to fight monsters all the time. Let the grass kid do it, or the vampire girl. Minerva Bot 5, ready the cloud chamber. [Minerva Bot 5 carries the cloud chamber out of the water] Now, be a good boy and get into this machine so it can juice up your precious essence.
[Finn gasps, Jake spits his desserts and eats some more. Finn breathes in and out with his eyes closed]
Mom, not only am I not getting juiced, I'm gonna leave this place and take everyone to freedom! [they both leave]
MMinerva
Okay, sweetie, but I think you'll find everyone's pretty happy here.
[on the ship home, Finn puts on the "Better Reality" VR headset. He finds himself in his former childhood home]
MMinerva
It was. [Finn turns to see Minerva and they hug each other] Take care of yourself in Ooo. Be careful when you're eating blueberries. Too many can hurt your tummy. [she then starts dissipating] Your ship is moving out of range.
Is this really you? Once you uploaded your brain and stuff, like, are you still the same person?
MMinerva
I don't know for sure, but I feel like it's me. I hope that's enough.
[she dissipates and everything around Finn fades to black. The real Finn takes a moment as a single tear streams down his cheek]
I'm connected to all candy throughout all the galaxies. Once you're candy, you'll be part of me, too!
LLemonpink
[squeezing his juices] I used to have a lot of fear and sadness, but now I'M FI-I-I-I-INE!!!
