I've got a aqua teen AU idea where every other character than the mooninites/Plutonians, Carl, markula are teenagers/ highschoolers
So like- the aqua teens do freelance detective work and odd jobs for cash/lunch money and they get paid by the Plutonians to snoop around MoonCo.™ for dirt on their business rivals, and our favorite losers find a bunch of shit like their previous arrest records and stuff that would tarnish their "superior image" if they weren't rich moguls. ( ignignokt is a prince/business man and err is his right hand goon, and his manager/secretary.)
The teens are paid handsomely to put together a portfolio of all the 'bad' things the Mooninites have 'allegedly' done and are given like a month to finish before Emory will come through to check on their progress. He wouldn't collect it but he would make a copy and take it back to the "mother ship"(the old looking office space he and Oglethorpe rented.) and Oglethorpe would turn it into one of those shitty exposé videos that you find before you log into YouTube on a new device.
Id like to think that the age gaps between them being like 2-3 years with meatwad being 13 as a 8th grader(cuz we all thought we was hard as eighth graders), master shake 15 in 9th grade(he got held back) and frylock 18 as a senior. Frylock gets meatwad up around 5:30 in the morning so that she can get him ready and to school on time and she let's shake sleep in until she gets back so he isnt bitching/nodding off on the bus," cuz I ain't waking you up if you miss the stop" knowing she'd probably end up waking him before they get to their stop anyway.
There was rumor going around their old school saying that frylock is meatwads dad and she neither confirmed nor denied the rumors because she was more focused on getting her money up and didn't necessarily care for the social aspect of highschool and hadn't since sophomore year. (got played bad as a freshman and sworn off making friends 'at that shitty school'.) It didnt help that she's got a whole ass beard and generally looks like shit from all the long nights going back n forth from worrying about the house and it's bills, her bad asf siblings, looking for a job, etc. she ain't even had time to go and touch up the shoddy bleach job on her dreadlocks, the difference between the faded bleach only highlights the dire need for a re twist in the distant future.
They were all in the foster system after their mom/dad died about two years ago and as soon as she turned 18, frylock fought hard as hell to get custody of her siblings, mostly because she couldn't imagine her baby brothers going through God knows what while she's not around. Even though she had piss all to her name and was barely getting her socials, by some scatterbrained luck, the state let her take them. They moved out to South Jersey afterwards and had found a house that they could rent for cheap.
