My Two Favorite People

"My Two Favorite People" is episode number nine in season one of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
Finn and Jake are fighting Science Cat and Shark at 4:00. Science Cat changes Jake into a butterfly, but Jake transforms back to normal. Jake realizes he is late for his date with Lady Rainicorn and heads to her house, where she eventually goes to bed and Jake heads home. He talks to the worm that lives in his viola, Shelby, about the stresses of hanging out with both Finn and Lady Rainicorn. Shelby suggests the idea of all three of them hanging out at the same time. Jake arranges a picnic with Finn and Lady Rainicorn but problems are caused as Finn cannot understand Lady Rainicorn due to her speaking Korean. So they go underwater to find a translator device that Jake previously tossed into the ocean. The trio gets attacked by Lake Knights, but they escape and get the translator. Finn is impressed after they make it out at how good all three of them battle and suggests that they should battle all the time. There are three modes; old man, nightmare, and nerdy alien. Rainicorn cannot be understood in nerdy alien or nightmare, so it is left on old man, where Jake now remembers why he threw away the device. Finn refers to Lady Rainicorn as "Grandpa". As they fly to Finn and Jake's Tree Fort, they see a Forest Wizard giving out free Power Rings. As they go down, Jake slips off of Rainicorn without her or Finn knowing, and falls to somewhere in the forest and grows huge to find them. He scares away the Forest Wizard and the Bears, and Finn tries to give Jake a ring, but finds out that they are cursed. Back at the Tree Fort, Finn and Lady Rainicorn play on Beemo and Jake gets jealous that Finn is trying to take Rainicorn away from him. As Finn and Lady go to a party with Cloud People, Jake gets more and more jealous and finally cracks once he sees the two spending time together without him in a date-like setting. So he calls someone to get both Finn and Rainicorn jealous; he calls Tiffany, who can play viola and has a girl's name, and makes him his new best friend. Finn and Tiffany fight, while Jake and Rainicorn apologize to each other. Jake gets rid of the translator, as he is creeped out by her old man voice, and Finn drives Tiffany away. All of them apologize and hang out with each other again.
