I've been home sick for two days. To help pass the time, I watched season 1 and 2 of Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.

Maybe it was the fever, but I got inspired to dream this up.

How did Finn and Jake come up with the idea to wish for the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant.

Finn and Jake have been best buddies for quite some time now. Some of their adventures have been pretty far out. So much so that they sometimes have woken up, unsure if they were awake or still dreaming. Either or is fine by them, they know how to handle it.

Usually, just before bed, the two will talk until either of them gets tired. Early on when they first met, they would stay up late, talking about the kind of adventures they would go on in the future. How they would defeat certain types of monsters or get out of certain kind of traps.

One night, Finn says to Jake:

-“I wish we had something to ride that would take us places. You know, for like when we gotta go really far.”

-“What, you mean like a mount?” Asked Jake.

-“Yeah, a mount!” Answered Finn.

-“But I can stretch us anywhere. Why would we need a mount?” Asked Jake

-“Maybe ‘coz we need to get there really fast? Like faster than you could stretch us there?”

-“Alright, but then it would have to serve some sort of secondary purpose for it to be worth it. Something that could give us some major defensive capabilities when in a bind.” Explained Jake.

-“Yeah, like something really well shielded.”

-“So like what? Like a Tank?” Asked Jake.

-“No, it’s gotta be something alive. Machines sometimes just suddenly break down without warning. We would know if something alive was sick or something. Less nasty surprises this way.”

-“Ok, so what’s a super strong, pretty quick, kinda gnarly but way awesome animal?” Asked Jake.

-“An Elephant.” Breathed Finn.

-“Yeah! An elephant!” Answered Jake, just a little louder.

-“And we can teach it tricks!” exclaimed Finn.

-“Wait a minute! Could we? I mean, how smart are elephants anyway?”

-“Ours would be super smart.” Explained Finn

-“And why would ours be super smart?”

-“Because… Because he was ancient ! Like super-duper crazy ancient! In ancient times, he was the mount of an ancient civilization’s ruler!”

-“Un-Hunh.”

-“And it was psychic! That’s why it was such a special mount! That’s why only the king had one.”

-“An Ancient Psychic War Elephant. I like the sound of that!” Said Jake.

-“Yeah.” Agreed Finn.

-“Elephants aren’t that fast though.” Mentioned Jake.

-“That’s true.” Admitted Finn.

-“So how come ours is fast?”

-“Super speed?”

-“Nah, not unless there was a really good story as to why he had it. He’s rare, but we can’t push it here.” Explained Jake.

-“All right.” Accepted Finn. “Then how else can he be fast. He could fly?”

-“Again, why?”

-“Because… Because! The ancient civilization came from out space! They came here using rockets and knew how to mount them to anything!”

-“Including the Ancient Psychic War Elephants! Finn! You’re a genius!”

-“Mmm-Hmm” Nodded Finn, eyes closed in quiet pride.

-“And since they could fly, the ancient aliens would have mounted laser cannons in their trunks!”

-“Oh Yeah.” Agreed Finn.

-“And shotguns… No wait! GOLDEN shotguns, instead of tusks!”

-“Golden shotguns?” Inquired Finn.

-“Yeah, these things had to have had some style to them! After all, only the rulers of an entire ancient civilization ever got to ride them!”

-“Cool, makes sense.” Agreed Finn.

-“And it wore special visors with highly sophisticated targeting systems.” Continued Jake.

-“And it flew through space, right?”

-“Right.”

-“So that means it had to be white. Coldness of space dude.” Explained Finn

-“Creamy white.” Added Jake. “They did get some sun.”

-Deal.” Accepted Finn.

-“Oh man, this thing is awesome !” Exclaimed Jake. “So, uhm… Who gets to drive it?”

-“Hmm, that’s a good question. Who does get to drive it. I guess we could take turns.”

-“I guess, but what if something surprised us and we both dive for the drivers sear and the same time?” Asked Jake.

-“We could end up butting heads and knocking ourselves out!” Continued Jake. “At the very least it could give and attacking monster the fraction of a second it needs to beat us.”

-“I guess we would need two then.” Conceded Finn.

-“Not possible. They’re extremely rare as it is. Besides, ancient civilizations only had one ruler at a time. I mean, there could have been one for the queen, but I don’t like the idea of one of us riding a queen’s mount. We’re both manly guys after all.”

-“True, true… I got it! It has two heads!”

-“Of Course!” Exclaimed Jake. “That would greatly enhance its defensive capabilities! An Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant!”

-“An Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant.” Yawned Finn.

-“Oh man!” Said Jake, yawning himself. “Imagine the dungeon defending that guy! The ultimate treasure at the end of the ultimate adventure…”

-“Definitely, but really, all we would need is an adventure with a wish at the end of it.” Mentioned Finn. “Then we wouldn’t have to worry about conquering that ultimate adventure. Yawn. I mean, if we’re gonna have an Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant, I wanna have some fun with it, not let it be the ultimate final treasure at the end of the ultimate final adventure.”

-“Yawn. Yeah, you’re right. We still gotta figure out why it would allow you to control it though. Goodnight Finn.”

The two best friends fall asleep at roughly the same time, at slightly different parts of mumbling: “Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant.”
