A week has passed since the wall was torn down, and both the Classic CN characters and the modern CN characters decided to mix and mingle with each other. At the Lakewood Plaza, Dexter was studying Dendy.
“Let’s see.” Said the boy. “Green complexion, a turtle-like anatomy, and a small crater with a circumference of 7 inches. You must be some kind of undiscovered chelonian!”
“Actually, I’m a kappa.” Dendy replied. “A mythical creature from Japanese folklore that is often mistaken for drowning people who get too close to water. In actuality, we’re a placid species.”
“Are you viviparous or oviparous?” Dexter asked.
“I beg your pardon?” Asked Dendy.
“Do kappas get pregnant or lay eggs?” Dexter clarified.
“Sorry, but I’m not at liberty to say.” Said Dendy.

Meanwhile, at Fish Stew Pizza, Johnny Bravo walked into the restaurant to flirt with Jenny, who was rolling pizza dough.
“Say, toots.” Said Johnny. “How about we chew on a breadstick together and see what happens next?”
“How about you taste this pepper?” Replied Jenny, giving Johnny a slice of a ghost pepper.
“Thanks.” He replied, taking a bite out of the pepper. He soon realized that it was very hot, so he ran out of the restaurant and jumped into the harbor to put out the burning sensation in his mouth.

At the local candy store, Billy and KO were trying out candy grass.
"Peebles told me that I could try candy grass after the war is over." KO told Billy. "Ready to taste it?"
"Am I ever?" Asked Billy, right before he gobbled it up. "Not good as mom's cookies, but still good. How does it taste, OK?"
"It's KO." Said the 6-to-11-year-old boy as he took a bite out of the grass. He immediately spat it out in disgust. "Yuck! Maybe mixing sugar and vegetables is a bad idea."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In another section, Lake, Tulip Olson’s missing reflection who’s trying to figure out her own identity, has been talking to Gwen Tennyson. She was pregnant with Kevin Levin’s baby, and Lake decided to ask about the baby.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” The reflection asked.
“It’s a girl.” She said. “We’re gonna name her Maxine, after my grandfather.”
“Is that why you didn’t participate in the Great Toon War?” Asked Lake. “I’ve been told that you have mad karate skills and psychic powers.”
“First of all,” Gwen started. “I also know savate, taekwondo, and jujitsu. Second, it’s not psychic powers, it's magic. I just hope Maxine ends up being a normal kid. I’m due in five months.”
“Peebles has medicine that can take away powers from most people.” Said Lake. “Maybe she could give you some so Maxine will end up being normal. It can’t be today because she’s holding a funeral for that Finn boy.”
—--------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, at nighttime in the Ooo section of CN City, thousands of denizens and citizens showed up at Finn's funeral. It was presented by Bonnibel Bubblegum. Jake, Marceline, Ice King, LSP, BMO, and Phoebe already gave their speeches, and Bonnibel was ready to give hers.
"We have gathered here today because Finn, who was a great friend of many, died during the Great Toon War." She began. "He was one of the most amazing people I've ever met. He has rescued many princesses, fought many monsters, explored multiple dungeons, and was willing to help others with their problems! We will forever be grateful. Wildberry Princess, could you get some flowers ready when we bury Finn?"
"Okay, Princess Bubblegum." Wildberry Princess replied with a squeaky voice. Soon, Jake arrived with Finn in his bulldozer-shaped hands. He placed Finn on the ground, dug a hole for Finn to fit in, and placed Finn inside the hole.
"Now, Wildberry Princess!" Said Bonnibel. The berry princess threw flowers into Finn's grave. Marceline felt it was right to sing the song 'Best Friends In The World'. During the song, a celestial owl appeared in the sky and screeched like a falcon.
"The Cosmic Owl." Said Viola, one of Jake's children.
"We'll miss you, Finn." Said Charlie, another one of Jake's children.
"What are you gonna do now, dad?" Asked Jake Jr, yet another one of Jake's children.
"Maybe someone from that Creek show will be my new buddy.” Replied the older dog.
—--------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Jake went all the way to the Herkleston section. This was a challenge since Craig of the Creek was more grounded in reality, meaning Jake couldn’t use his stretchy powers, walk on his hindlegs or even talk. It took a while, but he made it to the Creek section of Herkleston. Kit was in the trading tree, giving Marie a small box of Sensible Oats in exchange for 10 marbles. Bobby was walking with his bag of candy as usual, only to trip on a rock.
“My candy!” He said, getting up to collect his candy. “Hey, you’re that dog who participated in that war so intense that our parents couldn’t let us watch!”
“Unless you’re Mark, Barry, or David.” Said Kit.
“Or a witch.” Said JP, holding a Choco Roll. “Say, you’re Jake the Dog! Barry talks about you alot.”
“He does?” Asked Jake. Oops.
“I better get Craig.” Said JP as he ran off to find Craig.
“Look, guys!” Said Bobby. “This dog can talk!” A whole mob of kids started clamoring over Jake, making him shrink to the size of a mouse.
“Shrinking?” Asked Wren, grabbing Jake with a pair of tongs. “The possibilities of a shrink and growth ray are scientifically impossible, though the marine iguana actually shrinks when sustenance is low.” Everyone was confused by Wren. “That’s another word for food.”
“He’s from that popular cartoon show!” Said JP, who managed to find Craig. He just got out of the sewers and found a 25-year-old Slide the Ferret action figure.
“That looks like Jake the Dog from Adventure Time.” Said Craig. “Though it’s probably just a toy.”
“A toy?!” Shouted Kelsey. “Craig Williams, this is the discovery of a lifetime! Would a real toy do this?” She dropped her sword, grabbed Jake, and stretched him to look like a dachshund.
“Hey, watch it!” Said Jake, using his powers to grow back to his normal size. “I still have a skeleton, you know.”
“What are you doing here?” Asked Craig. “You should be in Ooo with Finn.”
“I can’t.” Said Jake. “Finn died.” All the other kids just gasped with both surprise and horror.
“What happened?” Asked Bobby.
“He got hit with a sword from Samurai Jack.” Jake explained. “Not a foam sword like your friend has, but a real sword. Never play with weapons!”
“But Steven Universe was on your side!” Said Kelsey. “He could’ve used his healing saliva to bring Finn back to life. He could’ve been like Lars in the episode ‘Lars' Head’ and had magic powers just like Lion!”
“We discussed it,” Said Jake. “But we can’t play Glob. Peebles regretted it badly. Anyway, I’m here so I can have an emotional support human.”
“Sorry, but I’m taken.” Said Kelsey, and Mortimer popped out of her hair.
“Gu might get in a fight with you.” Said JP. “She’s my cat, by the way.”
“Even though I’m dedicated to saving animals,” Said Wildernessa. “Other dogs are not on my agenda. Besides, I already have Cheesesticks.”
“You’re a magic dog, aren’t you?” Asked Craig. “Maybe you could shrink yourself to the size of Mortimer and live with me!”
“That sounds like a great idea!” Said Jake. “As long as there are no episodes that focus on your bedroom.”
—---------------------------------------------------
Back in the real world, Bill and Jim finished doing each other’s homework and watched the episode on HBO Max.
“Did we just see a crossover between Adventure Time and Craig of the Creek?” Asked Bill.
“I’ve seen stranger crossovers.” Said Jim. “Remember The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door, or Steven Universe’s Say Uncle?”
“I remember Say Uncle.” Said Bill. “But what was the other one?”
“The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door.” Said Jim. “It was a crossover between The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Codename: Kids Next Door. Just ignore it, since the plot is nonsensical and the character designs clash with one another.”
“What should we do now that The Great Toon War is over?” Bill asked Jim.
“I don’t know about you,” Said Jim. “But tomorrow, I’m gonna ask my parents if they worked in the animation industry.”
THE END
