Colonel Rawls is doing push-ups. "Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine" The phone rings, interrupting Rawls' routine. Growling in irritation, he picks it up and answers. "Rawls speaking. What's that? Meteor? Heading right towards the Space Tree? Activate space binoculars!" He sits down, looks inside the binoculars, and then he sees a face of himself. "What in the--? Decrease magnification!" The space binoculars zoom out to see space bush men pulling their pants down with Rawls' face on their underwear.

"Got you again, Rawls!" The man laughs. Rawls groans. "SPACE BUSH!!!" He shouted. Later, Muscle Man is in Rawls' office. "Do you know why I brought you here, Muscle Man?" He asked. "If this is about the quantum toilet, it was backed up when I got there." He said. "What? No! This is way bigger than that! I'm talking serious stuff here! I'm talking pranks." Rawls replied. "Sir?" Muscle Man asked.

"Allow me to explain." He brings up a hologram of the man from his watch. "This is Carlton Tanner of the Space Bush station: our long-time rivals. He's been pranking me since our days in the academy. So many stink bombs! So many wet willies! I can still feel them in there, squirming around!" He shouted. "What does that have to do with me?" Muscle Man asked. "I've tried to get back at Tanner for years, but he's just too good!" Rawls switches off the hologram. "Muscle Man, I believe you're the greatest prankster in the galaxy! I need you to prank Tanner!" He said. "What's in it for me, Rawls?" Muscle Man asked.

"What's in it for you? Equipment! Personnel! The power of the Space Tree at your disposal! And the opportunity to pull off the biggest prank in space history." Rawls said. "Pranking in space? I'm in!" Muscle Man, High Five Ghost, and Rawls enter the Space Tree's Prank Division, and it is packed with scientists and pranking gear. "Whoa..." Muscle Man said. "Oh, yeah. We don't mess around." Rawls leads Muscle Man to a scientist examining something through a microscope. "How's everything coming, Professor Prankenstein?"

He asked. "I've told you, it's pronounced Pronk-en-steen! Here, have a look for yourself." Muscle Man looks through the microscope and sees... "Ugh! It's puke!" He shouted. "Correction: FAKE puke! It looks real to the untrained eye, does it not? It even smells like the real thing!" Prankenstein sniffs it and grows nauseated. He then leads the three over to a table. "This is my latest creation. It may not look like much, but when combined with an average dinner mint, it becomes so much more!"

Muscle Man watches as a robotic arm drops a dinner mint into some green slime. When the mint hits the slime, it begins to expand quickly. He dips his hand and tests the slime, making faces as he does so. "Does he always do this?" Rawls asked. "Sh! Don't break his concentration." Fives scolded. "I got a plan. But I'm gonna need my team to pull it off." Muscle Man goes around the Space Tree to recruit the gang. He meets up with Benson,

Anna and Pops as they hang a cat portrait in the barracks, join Skips in fixing a space cart, and pops out of a plant Eileen is watering. Chance Sureshot admires himself in a mirror in a room with Toothpick Sally and Recap Robot, noticing Muscle Man in the reflection. Lastly, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are shooting hostile fighter ships in a simulator until Muscle Man pulls the plug. Later, Muscle Man is dressed in a Space Tree uniform and addresses everyone in a meeting room.

"Okay, bros. As you may or may not know, the Space Tree has fallen victim to a ruthless prank by the Space Bush. We've been mooned." Everyone gasps, and Mordecai and Rigby laugh, and (Y/n) rolls her eyes, then smacks the two. "Ow!" The duo yelped. "Hey! You wouldn't be laughing if you had a butt staring you in the face! Luckily, I have devised an elaborate prank to put Space Bush in its place." He switches off the lights, and a floating camera acts as a projector." Muscle Man said. "I present to you Operation:

Slime Bomb. Props to Mordecai for the sweet graphics." Mordecai gives him a thumbs-up, and Muscle Man starts scrolling through the presentation. "First, we will infiltrate the Space Bush and shut down their force field from the inside, allowing us to easily board their ship. Then we'll go in with these bad boys: fifty-five gallon drums filled with Dr. Prankenstein's secret formula. Each drum is rigged with a timer to give us enough time to drop them off at key points around the ship. Then, we'll make our escape and BOOM! Total slime coverage! And then we celebrate like champs! Any questions?" Muscle Man asked.
