"This is shooting Firey and Gelatin Steal a Van off like, a cliff, with my Not Cannon!" — Match, "HELP US get to VIDCON 2019" (altered)
The subject of this article or section is non-canon. The events described did not happen in the official main BFDI universe.
“
I've been trying to get these steaks to my steakhouse, but- it's really heavy.
The short starts with Gelatin carrying a heavy bag of steaks. Firey then shows Gelatin his hot air balloon he made. The paper sets on fire and the hot air balloon drawing flies off, to Firey's surprise. He then states that he was going to sell that drawing to Coiny more than it was worth. Gelatin says that he's been trying to get his steak to his steakhouse, but he struggles because the bag is too heavy. Firey comes up with the idea of using the FreeSmart Van, to take Gelatin's steak, and to get his hot air balloon along the way. Gelatin states that FreeSmart is protective over that van. Firey states that they can just "borrow" the van. Gelatin accepts, and they both walk to the van that is on top of Clubhouse of Awesomeness. Gelatin is shocked to find that Pencil is in the van. Firey tells Gelatin that it's a cardboard drawing of her. Firey and Gelatin hops into the van and drives off. Gelatin tries to play "I spy with my little eye", but he shouts various things that's clear to see. While doing this, Gelatin tells that he spies something orange. Firey, annoyed, says that he's the one who's orange. Gelatin says that it was actually Coiny. They both run into Coiny, leading him to get run over, and to get eaten by a fish monster. Firey then shouts that Coiny was his "potential customer".
After days, Gelatin says that he's bored, and asks if they're almost there. Firey responds saying that they're not there yet. Gelatin repeats what he just said, asking if they're there now, with Firey saying no. Gelatin then asks that if Grassy's green. Firey says yes, then Gelatin tells him to say that in response to another question, which is the prior one before the Grassy Question. He then tries to drive but Firey and Gelatin both fight in a cloud of smoke and survive a deadly cliffside. They end up on the tip of a mountain, and Firey is now very angry at Gelatin, who asks how they will get down, until the van slightly tilts, leading his steaks to fall out of the van. Gelatin lets Firey drive while Gelatin tries to grab the steaks bouncing away on the mountain cliffs.
Member, the blue block that was seen in the now-private short "Recommend a Character - Become a Jacknjellify Member", walks out of Gelatin's Steakhouse and starts to talk about how good their experience was until the bag of steaks hits them, sending them to the sun. Firey stops the van so that Gelatin can grab the bag of steaks that has finally landed. Gelatin grabs the bag, and he and Firey cheer. Gelatin thanks Firey, but Firey tells him that he owes him eighty dollars in gas money. Firey's hot air balloon from the beginning of the short can be seen again and lands on the floor, causing Firey to tell Gelatin that now he owes him seventy dollars in gas money.
Meanwhile, Pencil finds the cardboard drawing of herself in the floor and sheds a tear.
The cardboard cutout of Pencil is in reference to the real-life Pencil cutout, which is also shown in the credits.
This is the very first time that Member (the square character from the now-private YouTube Membership announcement) speaks; they are voiced by Braden Whiteside.
This is the first time Anthony Acedo writes for Battle for Dream Island.
The bag of steaks might contain Jordan from BFDI Mini Delicious, as Gelatin could be seen taking them away (along with Chips) when they were eliminated in episode 6.
This video was possibly a teaser for the revival of Battle for Dream Island Again due to this being animated in the BFDIA style.
Continuity references[]
Firey and Gelatin's singing is a reference to Four's humming at the beginning of "X Finds Out His Value".
Gelatin's arm when he attempts to grab the steering wheel looks the same as Coiny's arm in IDFB when he attempts to grab a grotato.
The hot air balloon falling from the air makes the same sound and motion as Eraser falling on a bed of nails in "Take the Plunge: Part 2".
Cultural references[]
During the scene of Firey and Gelatin driving through the deadly road, ores can be seen in the stone, loosely resembling the coal and iron ores from Minecraft.
When Member was hit by the bag of steak, they are sent flying to the sun. This is likely a reference to a running gag in The Daily Object Show that involves a character being sent careening into the sky, accompanied by the Kanye West song "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1".
This makes sense, as the short was written by Anthony Acedo, who also created aforementioned object show.
Deaths[]
Coiny is launched into a Fish Monster by the FreeSmart Van and eaten by it.
Member is hit by a bag of steak and launched into the sky.
