Hey everyone, this is my story in what I hope will be a long series. The time in Ooo is after the episode Season 5 episode 31 "too old" Please keep in mind that this is the first chapter, and the start of a series usually isn't great. Future chapters of this series will be much better.

*RING RING RING*

Nathan's alarm clock blared.
"Ungh" he muttered lazily smacking his alarm.

Nathan turned in his bed and considered going back to sleep he was not a morning person. Getting out of bed, eating breakfast and brushing his teeth he started out the door. He flinched as the sun was brighter than he thought. "Man when is something interesting gonna happen?" He twirled his finger in his hair and looked at his reflection in a puddle. Tan skin and curly dark hair, he was pretty good looking, or at least that's what he thought. Looking at the sidewalk ahead he chuckled.

A few months ago some construction workers were repaving the cement and Nathan saw an opportunity. He waited until they left and drew the face Finn drew to go to the nightosphere in the cement and laughed every time he saw it. Nathan seriously doubted it would work, but if there was even the slightest chance it'd work he'd take it. He tried using it several times but it never worked. Sighing he went on.

During his classes he had to work out what he wanted to do later in life. Nathan leaned back in his chair and started chewing his pen.

"How am I supposed to know what I want to do years later?"

Nothing sounded interesting, and he didn't like the idea of being trapped doing the same thing everyday. Nathan forgot about the assignment and started thinking about the face he drew in the concrete. He would do anything to be able to go to Ooo. He'd drawn the face and knew the chant...the problem was bug's milk probably didn't exist, Ooo probably didn't exist for that matter either, he focused back on his assignment. After classes he called his friend Aaron to unwind, and they sat talking about the land of Ooo.

"Dude if I was in Ooo I'd totally rule that place" Aaron said.
"Yeah right that'd never happen" Nathan chuckled at the thought. "Alright then" said Aaron "Let's say you're in Ooo, who would you go for?"
"You mean like...a girlfriend?"
"Well duh what else? Aaron grinned. "Well?
"I guess...Marceline, what about you Aaron?"
"Yeah I'd totally go for Marceline too."
"Come on, that's not cool" Nathan muttered.
"Ah relax" Aaron laughed. "That just means you have good taste" "Hey you know you act differently with me thanwhen you're with others" said Aaron.
"What do you mean?" asked Nathan "Well with most people you're quiet and don't talk much, but with me you're totally a different person laughing, joking and talking non-stop."
Nathan playfully punched Aaron on the shoulder. "You know too much about me." said Nathan. "So what, I should just be less open to you?"
"No that's not what I meant, geez you hit hard."
Nathan frowned. "Sorry I punch stuff...a lot"
Aaron rubbed his shoulder. "Well it's not like we can ever go to Ooo anyway."
Nathan tried miserably to hide a smile. "Maybe." he said.

"What do you mean MAYBE?" asked Aaron.
"Alright" said Nathan. "Come on, I wanna show ya something."

He opened the door and walked out.
"What is it" asked Aaron unsure if Nathan was going to prank him again.
"You'll see" Nathan said mysteriously.

He led Aaron to the face he drew in the ground, to which Aaron burst out laughing.
"You...you made this?" Aaron somehow managed to say despite laughing so hard.
"Yes"
"You...MADE this." Aaron repeated starting to calm down a little.
"Shut up or I'll hit ya again" Nathan muttered.
"Sorry" Aaron stopped laughing. "So, have you tried it yet?"
"Well, yeah but I'm still missing bug's milk. Without that it isn't going to work." Nathan replied.
"So do you know where to get it?" Asked Aaron.
"No" Nathan sighed "I have no idea what to do about that."
Aaron grinned "Alright if you ever find it come get me and I'll watch you do it. Hey it's getting late I'm gonna head back"

They said good bye and Aaron left with Nathan now bored and unsure of what to do. Nathan cooked some food even though he wasn't really hungry and sat down at the computer. He typed in "milk bugs" by accident instead of "bug's milk, as he was correcting himself something on the page caught his eye.

"No...it couldn't be..."

This could work! He jumped out of his seat, knocking it over he ran to the front yard.
"Yes!"
There were some brownish rose plants, he looked closer and sure enough there they were. Aphids! The article said that ant milked aphids in order get their sweet juices! If aphids were milked that was bug's milk right? He looked at the roses...they were in pretty bad condition. He'd need to help them out if they were going to continue to draw in more aphids, this was going to take a LONG time.

Two months passed by very slowly. Nathan had to fix up the plants, kill pests, pull weeds and plant fertilizer. All this work was just to fix the roses, milking the aphids proved extremely difficult if not mind numbingly boring. The portal called for bug's milk not bug guts, so he had to be extremely careful not to crush them, worse yet they were so tiny they barely produced any liquid. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and finally he got a decent amount. He held up a small container of clear fluid. What a chore it had been just to get this amount! Putting away the container he collapsed on his bed, he forgot to turn off the light but he really did not want to get up again. He fell asleep unable to hear the phone ringing in his pocket.

Aaron looked at his phone and frowned, Nathan didn't answer him again. He hadn't seen much of Nathan for quite some time. He'd stopped inviting Aaron over to hang out, he wasn't able to get him on the phone very often and even when he did Nathan always seemed to be busy with something so they didn't talk long. He and Nathan had met when he was like 8. They would talk, hang out and sword fight with sticks. We'd gotten pretty good at it too." Aaron laughed as he remembered.

Aaron turned to the bathroom to take a shower. He turned on the warm water and began to relax. He had tried asking Nathan what it was that made him so busy but Nathan wanted to keep it a secret. Aaron wanted to press the issue but he knew that Nathan was very stubborn and that once he made a decision it was hard to change his mind. Turning off the water he wiped off the fog on the mirror and took a look at himself. His long black hair reached his chin, and considered cutting it. Aaron was a little skinnier than most with light blue eyes. Aaron scrolled through is phone his friends were mostly girls, he wasn't sure what it was about him that drew girls to be his friend. His phone rang startling Aaron as he nearly dropped his phone.

"Hel-hello?"
"Hey Aaron how's it going?"
"Fine just getting ready to talk to my MANY FRIENDS! You gonna tell me why you were so busy yet?" Aaron asked.
"Nope" said Nathan. "I'm gonna show you, now hurry up"
Aaron hung up. "He'd better have a good reason for all of this" he muttered. Aaron got on his bike and started over to Nathan's house.

Nathan saw Aaron coming and slapped him on the back. "Good to see ya Aaron."
"What was so important Aaron asked.
"This." Nathan held up a small container filled with a clear liquid.
"Okay well what is THIS?"
Nathan chuckled. "Bug's milk."

A smile slowly crept over Aaron's face.

"No...you're kidding, that's bug's milk?"
"Yes and you would not BELIEVE what I went through to get this."
"Alright" Aaron laughed. "Let's do this"

They approached the drawing and Nathan poured out the fluid.

"Maloso vobiscum et cum spiritum." Nathan chanted. They were tense, both of them holding their breath waiting to see what would happen. A few seconds passed...nothing happened. Aaron sighed
"Sorry man it looks like it didn't work. Hey, come on I'll get us a pizza."

They both turned away when suddenly the ground started shaking. Nathan turned back to the drawing. Could it be? The ground started to crack and tear, opening up to reveal a world of flames.

"What in the world?" He gasped.
None of them moved, both of them struck dumb by what just happened. Finally Nathan let out a cry.

"YES!" he shouted. "I can't believe that friggin worked!"
"W-wait" Started Aaron are we really going in there?"
"Of course we are! Why else would we do this?"
"But...I didn't think this would actually work. You know there's no going back right?"

The portal started to close.
"Ah! It's closing, are you in or not?"
Aaron hesitated for a second. "Alright let's go."

They nervously approached the portal, taking one last look at everything, they plunged into the fiery world that waited below.
