[whispering] Side quests.

No.

[Finn grunting]

[panting]

Man, why do we always gotta be the party supply guys?

We better not miss the whole Gumball Gala.

Looks like someone wants to dance with Princess Bubblegum.

[laughing]

No! I'm just busting with dancing moves,

and I gotta... Get. Them. Out!

Hoo! Ha!

You gonna get 'em out with Princess Bubblegum?

Maybe. I don't care.

Ooh! She makes you feel stuff, doesn't she?

No! Backflip! [grunts]

Just experience your emotions, man. It's cool.

Heroes don't have emotions. They only have skills!

Double backflip!

Half-twist into sow--

-[screaming] Ahh! -[thuds]

[Jake] Finn!

[panting]

You all right down there?

I think so.

What is this place?

Some kind of old building?

[Jake reading]

It looks ancient.

[door creaks]

Whoa!

This must be the biggest collection of books ever.

I like the smell of the old paper.

[Jake] "Be ye cursed if ye taketh thou

from these confines."

Well, nice curse.

Yeah, this whole antique-y library is awesome.

Well, it looks like all the books

on this trolley are romance novels

Here, too.

The librarian of old was really into romance, eh?

"And then on the day of her first

professional tennis match, she falls flat on her butt."

"And who's in the audience?"

"Her crush." Ye gods!

What's in thine book?

It's about a tween dweeb who wants to dance

with the most popular girl at the school,

but he's too shy to ask.

Like you and Princess Bubblegum.

Nay. Lay off of that.

[pleasant phone tune plays]

"Where the glob are you guys?"

"The Gala is starting."?

Oh dang, we're late!

All right, no more side quests.

It's dancing--

-[screaming] Ahh! -What?

You weren't supposed to take it from the library!

Don't you remember it's cursed?

Oh, I forgot I was holding this.

Eh, what's a book curse, anyway?

What am I gonna learn too much?

-[chuckles] -[breathing heavily]

[intense music playing]

[Finn gasps]

[Cursed Librarian] You've triggered the curse

of the unread!

You have until the hourglass runs out

to finish reading the book.

Else ye be trapped inside its story forever.

[please add cue]

[Finn breathing heavily]

[Jake, Finn] "And they danced."

Oh, cool.

So we just have to read the book and the curse is gone.

Told you, book curses ain't nothing.

But I wanna bust dance moves!

Potentially with or around Princess Bubblegum.

Not read some donkin' book!

Well, we better get a move on then.

-[eerie music playing] -[watch ticking]

[Finn] My heart is starting to flutter again.

My heart flutters every time I see her.

Like, when I saw her on the field of the big game!

And now that she's head cheerleader,

she's going steady with someone else.

Not just anyone.

The captain of the football team.

-What's football? -Huh?

I think you were saying your inside thoughts

on the outside again.

That's weird. It's usually blank up there.

Well, you were being kind of emotional.

Ugh!

It must be this cheesin' curse!

[door opens]

[upbeat dance music playing]

[people talking indiscernibly]

[Finn] "Spring Fling Dance."

It looks... uh... rad?

Uh...

Why are you dressed like that?

Why are you dressed like that?

Man, this curse sucks.

[Finn] Oh! There she is!

Do you think he'll finally ask me to dance?

[speaking Korean]

She's so beautiful.

Check out Marcie.

She is the most beautiful in my opinion.

Dude, get real.

I am real.

[Mr. Starchy] Okay, you "young adults", ha!

I hope you make my job easy this time,

and we can get through this evening

without any crazy pranks?

Thank you very much.

What is that, a book?

I didn't take you guys for the reading types.

Neither did we.

Okay, let's read the book.

They're delivering root beer to the Spring Fling Dance.

They don't fit in with the elite kids,

but they don't fit in with the nerdy guys either.

"A middle-aged chaperone guy says to not make pranks

like last time..."

"The prettiest girl in school shows up..."

"She's like a princess."

She is a princess.

All right, all right keep going.

"An oinko-boinko-style song kicks in..."

What the bunk is that?

-[upbeat dance music playing] -[Candy Kids cheering]

[Jake, BMO cheering] Whoo!

Go for it, bro! This is your shot.

Go say hi to her while this popular song is playing.

-But-- -[Jake] "And so he went,

spurred on by the advice of his best friend,

he entered the hormonal crowd."

"But with his taut junior varsity body,

he found the gaps."

"Step by step, he drew closer."

"His heart bloomed."

"His cheeks flushed and he got sweatier.

"Like, so sweaty."

"Yep, even in his down-unders."

Jake! What the hay!

Just reading from the book, doll.

[straining in frustration]

[upbeat dance music continues playing]

Okay, he grabs

the prettiest flower for the prettiest girl.

Hmm.

Uh... they're all pretty!

Finn! Is that you?

[Finn hesitating]

[Jake over microphone] Pause, everybody!

This next track goes out to our local lover boy,

Finn the Human.

[Candy Kids] Ooh!

Hey, lover boy.

Are those for me?

No! Uh, they're... they're for... a... plant.

Ugh, God, Jake, what the heck?

-[Jake laughing] -What are you doing?

Get out of here! [grunts]

-[Jake laughs] -[BMO laughs]

What the heck, dude?

I was about to ask her to dance and break this stupid curse.

Sorry. Can't help it.

That's how I'm written in the book.

By the way, you're sitting in gum.

-Huh? -Gotcha. [laughing]

See I can't help it!

I felt kind of a compulsion.

But I'm all right now.

I felt a compulsion too. But now I am cool.

Ugh! Well, just finish reading the book

and release me from this torment.

Well, then you've gotta advance the plot

and dance with the princess.

I can't!

She's too beautiful and intelligent

and amazing and kind and, and, and...

And my character's written like a total dweeb.

You got that right.

Hmm.

"So they consulted known delinquent, Marceline."

Hey, Marcie.

Yo.

What's the sitch?

King Dweeb here can't stack up

and dance with his crush

It's not that I can't.

I mean, I got all these sweet dance moves

locked inside me by my own dang... emotions!

[shushing] I'll hook you up. But first...

-[hissing] -[Finn breathing heavily]

Aww, lucky!

Huh?

Whoa! Radical cut-offs!

Now let's get out there and make

-Princess Stuck-Up jealous. -Whoa!

I can't believe it's Justin asked

-to the dance. -So...

you're... captain of the football team?

All right! Unlock those sweet moves, Finn.

Uh...

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Best dance moves I've ever seen over here.

Whoo!

Get it, Finn! [laughing]

-[Finn] Yeah! -[Lumpy Space Princess grunts]

Finn!

I didn't know you got down!

[grunting]

[grunting]

No! Wait!

Now seal the deal, sweet stuff.

[screaming, grunting]

Hey! Don't leave me unsealed!

[upbeat dance music continues]

[breathing heavily]

"There's a crazy dance scene."

"His friends take off on him."

"He still wants to dance with her."

"He's full of resolve."

"End of chapter one."

Chapter one?

[groans]

That does it!

I'm Finn and full of resolve!

I'm walking right over there and asking her to dance!

It's no big deal.

[inhales]

[Jake over microphone] Attention, students.

Who's ready to get this party started?

[Candy Kid] No way! The sfoof showed up!

[Candy Kids] Sfoof! Sfoof! Sfoof! Sfoof! Sfoof! Sfoof!

-Sfoof! Sfoof! Sfoof! -[thuds]

[cheering] Yay!

[Finn] Dang it, Jake!

Quit pranking, man!

-I'm trying to talk to PB! -I'm a sfoof.

-Whoo! -[Candy Kids] Sfoof! Sfoof!

[Finn] What's your damage, man?

Get out of here! Again! Ugh!

-[Candy Kids clamoring] -[Mr. Starchy] Oh, if you think

it's a funny prank

to disrespect a school flag like that, think again, buster.

[sighs sadly]

[Finn banging on door] You can't leave me in here.

You don't understand!

I have to break the curse!

Tell that to the school flag. Hmm.

"A sfoof..."

Did somebody write this?

"Chaperone guy..."

"Detention room..."

"And then he sat in the detention room."

"And he sat. And he sat."

"And he sat"

We're gonna be stuck in this lame book forever!

[groans]

[Jake] Not on my watch.

-Jake! -Wanna go end this curse?

Yes! But can you cut out the pranks?

I have just one left, but trust me, you're gonna like it.

[Candy Kids speaking indiscernibly]

[speaking Korean]

[sighs]

-[Finn] Hey. -[gasps]

[soft romantic music playing]

Where do you think you're going?

I thought we were going to dance?

[music continues playing]

Hey, check out this prank.

[giggling]

[BMO, Jake giggling]

It's raining flowers!

[both laughing]

This is your best prank idea yet.

I've been waiting for you since the first day of school.

Took you long enough.

-Young love! -[Marceline laughs]

Gets me every time.

"And they danced.'

-"The End." -[whirring]

[whooshing]

[Cursed Librarian] Thank you for finishing with the book.

Yeah, the curse is gone!

What curse?

[sighing contentedly]

Ahem!

Finn? What are you doing?

Huh?
