Disclaimer: I do not own anyone from the Adventure Time.
Hi, everyone! This is my first Adventure Time fanfiction and I wanted to write about one of my favorite pairings: Finn and Susan Strong. I was inspired to write this story because I thought that Susan and Finn make a totally great pairing. I have read FinnXPB, FinnXMarcline, and even FinnXFP stories. There are only two FinnXSusan stories, so I decided to write this sweet story.
Some parts may come from the two episodes that Susan was in, which is "Susan Strong and Beautopia". This story is set after Finn and Jake helped Susan defeated the Lub Glubs, but before the Flame Princess was introduced.
I read other Finn and Susan stories written by Bigslayerguyman and The Legend of Derpy and they were great and sweet as well.
Anyways, Enjoy!
In the Land of Ooo, there lived a beautiful, tall, muscled-built woman named Susan Strong. She is the proud leader of the Hyoomen tribe. She lived underground in Beautopia with all the other fish people, but it is unknown if she's really a human or a fish person.
One day, Susan was sitting by the shore of the ocean. She gazed deeply into the water as she thought about how Finn and Jake helped save her and the fish people from the Lub Glubs. But who she was mostly thinking about was Finn. Yes, Finn the human was all she could think of.
When Susan first met Finn she was frightened and scared because he bought her up to the surface, which was new for her. Nevertheless, her fears went away when Finn taught and shown her about how to live on the surface. Not only that, but he also taught her how to speak correct English, which her vocabulary had improve and gotten way better.
The second time Susan met up with Finn was when she needed his help defeating the Lub Glubs. She didn't have anyone else to help her, so she went to Finn for assistance. She was happy that he helped her and she desperately wanted to see him again. For she, Susan Strong, was in love with Finn the human.
"Finn." she said dreamily as she hit the water, watching her reflection transformed into little ripples. "If only you knew how I feel about you."
The leader of the Hyoomen tribe got off the ground and brushed herself off. "I can't hide my feelings anymore. I have to tell Finn that I love him." she declared as she climbed up the ladder to the surface.
She jumped from the red hatch and landed on the soft, luscious grass. She remembered the first time she felt the grass. It was scary and unfamiliar since she lived in the darkness underground all her life, but Finn assured her that it was grass and that it wouldn't hurt her.
She smiled brightly as she also remembered planting her face into the ground, kicking it, and rolling around in it, which resulted in her face covered in grass blood. Susan pulled out the hanky (napkin) that Finn gave her out of her purple cavewoman-like dress. She held it close to her chest as she remembered him giving it to her, so she could wipe the grass stains off her face. Susan placed the white hanky back inside her tattered dress and walked into the forest.
She pushed pass the tree branches that got in her way. Once she was out of the forest, she saw a big weird-looking tree house. Her heart was beating fast as she gazed at the house, which belonged to the two heroines. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"Finn, I'm coming for you!" Susan declared as she ran to the tree house to find the human boy.
Once she was at the entrance, she knocked on the front door.
"Coming." the voice said as he opened the door. "Hey, Susan, you're back. Come on in."
He stepped aside so she could enter the tree house and closed the door.
"Hey, Finn. How are you?" she asked politely.
"I'm flippin' awesome! And I see your English is totes improving." he noted.
"Yes, it is. And it's all thanks to you, Finn." Susan said with a slight blush tinted on her face.
"Heh. No probs, Suze. So anyways, what are you here for?" he asked curiously.
"Well, umm….I'm here because I…umm….wanted to tell you something." she mumbled, unable to look the human adventurer in the eyes.
"What is it? Are the Lub Glub invading Beautopia again?" Finn asked with worry and concern as he picked up his sword.
"No, it's not that. Beautopia is safe and well. Your magic red flower made sure of that." Susan stated.
"Oh, ok." He placed his sword down on the floor. "Then what is it that you wanted to tell me?"
The leader of the Hyoomen tribe twiddled her fingers as she tries to come up with the right words to tell the human boy her feelings. She built up her courage and looked Finn straight into his blue eyes.
"Finn….I wanted to tell you that I…. like you."
"I like you too, Suze. 'Cause we're best buds." the fourteen-year old boy said, not quite understanding what Susan really meant.
"Yes, I know. But that's not what I meant." she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Finn….what I'm trying to say is that I….I….love you." the female finally said, confessing her undefined love for the human hero.
Finn stood there speechless and there was an awkward silence in the living room. He was shocked that she had those types of feelings for him, but he composed himself and decided to tell her what was on his mind.
"Look, Susan. I'm flattered that you…umm….you know….like me a lot, but I like Princess Bubblegum a lot and…don't get me wrong, but I only like you as a friend. Heh, heh. No hard feelings, r-r-right?" Finn said/asked nervously as he waited for her answer.
Susan's green eyes began to water and her body shook slightly.
"Y-Y-Yeah, Finn. I understand. I-I perfectly understand." was all the buffed-up girl said as she opened the door and ran out of the treehouse.
"Susan, wait!" Finn called out to her from the front door.
But unfortunately for him, she didn't answer him. She just kept running until he couldn't see her anymore. He closed the door and slowly slid down it, rubbing his temple in sadness and pity.
"Gaaahhhh, darn it! I am such a butthead! I made Susan cry. *sighs* I feel terrible." Finn scolded himself.
The hero's train of thoughts ended when he heard a loud yawn coming from their bedroom.
"Aaaaahhhhhh! Whoo, that was a good nap-a-roo-ni." the magical dog said as he stretched his arms out. "Hey, Finn. I couldn't help but hearing someone in the house, so who was it?"
Finn got off the floor and walked to the couch. He plopped down on it and motioned for his brother to sit next to him. The orange dog sat down on the couch and turned to his brother.
"Alright dude, spill the beans. Who was it?" Jake asked, breaking the awkward silence.
Finn took a deep breath. "It was Susan."
"Oh, Susan came back. Did she want us to help her defeat the Lub Glubs again." he asked.
"No, she wanted something else." the human boy said.
"Hmm, what else did she wanted, bro?" the magical dog urged on.
Finn was silence for a moment until he finally answered his friend. "She just came here because she wanted to tell me that she l-l-l-like me a lot."
"Well Finn, do you like her a lot too?" he asked.
"Yeah, but only as a friend." the adventurer replied with a slight blush.
Jake saw his brother blush and his smile grew bigger. "Mm-hmm, are you sure, Finn? 'Cause I could totally see you blushing."
"What? No, I'm not!" he quickly denied.
"Yes, you were, man. Your face is as red as a tootie-fruity strawberry." Jake stated truthfully.
Finn sighed and feeling defeated, he finally told the truth. "Yeah, you're totes right, Jake. Not only do I like her as a friend, but I…I like her more than that."
Jake grabbed his buddy's face and looked dead into his eyes. "Go to her, bro. Go to Susan and tell her how you feel about her."
"I can't because I told her that I like PB a lot." the hero said with a little bit of sadness in his voice.
"Finn, listen to me, bro. Do you really like Princess Bubblegum a lot?" the magical dog asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Of course, I do. But I realized that Princess Bubblegum doesn't have feelings for me as I do for her." he answered honestly.
"Maybe you weren't right for Princess Bubblegum anyways. I mean, you and her don't have anything in common. But you and Susan have a lot of things in common." Jake stated, trying to reason with his pal about the two girls he had mixed feelings for.
A light bulb suddenly went off in Finn's head.
"Oh…my…Glob! You're right, Jake. Susan and I do have a lot of cool, super-dooper things in common. I mean, we both like to fight evil, we like adventures, and we both have blonde hair." he said happily, finally realizing who his real crush is.
"Yes! Exactly, dude! And don't forget that ya'll both humans." Jake added.
The hero boy's expression suddenly changed back to gloominess at his best bud's statement. "But, I don't know if she's really a human. 'Cause I felt her skin under her hat, but-"
"You're not sure if she is completely a human or not." the magical dog finished his friend's sentence.
"Yeah, you're right about that." he nodded his head.
Deciding to fix his terrible mistake, Finn got off the couch, slammed open the door, and ran out of the treehouse.
"Hey, Finn! Where the plop are you going?" Jake shouted out from the front door.
"I'm going to find Susan." he shouted back as he continued running to the forest to find the leader of the Hyoomen tribe.
