9:00 pm
14 year old Finn The Human was laying down in his bed unable to sleep, the events of that day racing through his mind. His girlfriend Flame Princess the girl he once thought would be the love of his life left him on a day where they were supposed to be celebrating their Anniversary. Flame Princess' words that day still stung like one of her blistering kisses.
"We are too different Finn..."
Why now?
"Every time we touch I do nothing but hurt you..."
I promised I would defy Nature for you...
"I am not a rebound Finn."
How could you ever think that?
"I know you are still in love with HER."
Am I?...
"I love you Finn but I know you'll never love me as much."
That's not true!
"I hope we can be friends."
Flame Princess...
Sitting up in bed Finn sighed, glancing over to his Brother Jake The Dog who was still sound asleep. Finn envied his Brother, he had a Woman who loved him as much as He loved her in return, who could never hurt him, a Woman that has bared his children...
"Why can't I ever just like a girl?"
Finn's thoughts drifted to Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum, the Monarch of Candy Kindom and ruler of most of Ooo, for years she had been the object of his affection. But every time he tried to become closer to her she pushed him away calling his advances "weird". Finn knew that there was a large age difference between them but he didn't care. Finn thought he had gotten over Princess Bubblegum when he got together with Flame Princess but it only seemed to make him think about her even more. Finn sighed with exasperation as he placed his hands over his head and looked at the floor.
Flame Princess is right...I do still love her. But what can I do about it? I'm still only 14 and she's 20 now...she'll probably find someone by the time I'm 20.
"Lemme share with you a little secret on how to win the heart of a Princess..."
Finn lifted his head as he remembered what Jake told him after Princess Bubblegum declined his offer for a hug after she had been made an Adult again after the whole Lich fiasco where she was possessed and turned into 13 year old.
"...it's not easy but you have to be persistent..."
That's me, Mr. Persistent.
"...You might have to defeat a Demon Lord and Warp through several Worlds..."
Uh-huh...
"...once you do you walk up the Wizard Stairs..."
Okay.
"...produce the Magic Key you got in a Water World..."
Seems simple enough.
"...unlock the Chamber Door..."
Right.
"...then walk right up to the Princess and give her a big smooch."
I can do this.
Finn got out of bed, getting dressed in his usual Adventuring attire and grabbing his Demon Blood Sword, sheathing it in his backpack. Glancing at Jake who was still fast asleep Finn raised his fist to his Brother.
"What time is it?"
Finn lightly tapped one of Jake's fists with his own careful not to wake him up.
"Adventure time."
Finn then scaled down the ladder of the Tree Fort, saying silent goodbyes to BMO and Neptr while also attaching a piece of paper to the fridge before leaving the Fort.
It Read:
Dear Jake, BMO and Neptr,
If you're reading this that means I'm probably already long gone. I've decided to go adventuring alone and search for myself and what I really want. Flame Princess breaking up with me really opened my eyes. Don't worry I plan on coming back, but in case I don't I love you guys.
