Finn sat there feeling totally defeated as he looked at the burning village, as he watched tears of sorrow and hopelessness came forth. "Why can't I just like a girl?" he questioned as he fell and curled into a ball atop the robot that he, Jake and N.E.P.T.R built. A single tear managed to drop onto the fire causing Flame Princess to wince in pain. As she turned around her expression changed from one of anger to one of shock mixed with understanding. In a b-line of fire she approached Finn and the fire died down completely. He began to cough and his tears stopped he then jumped up in surprise; "Did I...do something cool while out?" he asked as he realized the fire that once engulfed the village was now gone.

"I understand now you're a water elemental." she said. "What!" Finn exclaimed not sure what she meant. "You're my opposite, you create water." she said with her hands in a flowing motion in front her eyes. He understood that much, he then said "Wha, cry I just..." and before he could finish she interrupted saying "Yeah you cry and cry all the time". "No, I don't usually do that" he said trying defend himself. "But that's your power." she replied. "N-No, no, no" he said now embarrassed.

Flame Princess then looked down "Finn, even if we like each other were going to hurt each other" she said with sadness evident in her voice. "We don't have to, I can take it, I mean can't we at least try?" he responded with hope in his voice. Her face became tinted with a blush, "Y-You would defy nature for me?" she asked unable to believe that someone would go so far for her. "Uh yeah, whatev's" Finn replied.

They embraced each other in a loving way; FP nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. Finn had is arms wrapped around her; he held her tightly. They stayed like that for about a minute before Finn's body could no longer handle the heat. He regretted, even hated himself for it but he gently pushed her away. Tears were in his eyes either out of pain or sadness. "Bye Finn" Flame Princess said with the same amount of sadness as he had. "Finn, Oh my Glob man they're all dead, their all burned, there are barbecue bods everywhere!" Jake said loudly startling and scaring Finn. "WHAT!" Finn exclaimed.

"I'm just kidding" he said causing Finn to sigh in relief. "So how'd everything go with Flame Princess?" he asked with genuine interest. "She hugged me then left, I think she's upset that she burned me. I mean I told her I could take it but my stupid human body can't handle the heat she gives off." he said expressing what he felt was the real reason she left him.

"Dude, I think I have an idea of how we can hook you up with FP man" Jake said hoping to cheer up his adopted brother. Just as he hoped, it had the desired effect on the thirteen about to be fourteen year old boy. "R-Really Jake, how?" he asked hoping this wasn't one of Jake's cruel jokes.

"Don't worry about that right now your burns are pretty bad let's get you to the hospital" said Jake as he realized how bad the burns were. "Fine" said the adventurous young man.

A few hours later…

Finn and Jake were at their tree house. Jake was playing Bmo while Finn was watching. "Are you feeling better? Your wounds I mean?" asked the shape shifting companion. "I'm good man, so anyway what's your plan for me and Flame Princess?" asked the 13 year old his voice full of enthusiasm. Jake looked at the kid with the most serious face he could muster. "Well Finn, we're going to have to travel to the outskirts of the Fire Kingdom. To meet up with Flambo" Jake replied hoping that his inner thought were wrong about the outcome.

"Who are we meeting again?" asked the kid unsure of this Flambo person. "You know the little fire cat that we save at least twice a month." Jake said with a goofy face. "Oh yeah!" Finn responded with a lit light bulb appearing above his head. "Anyways" continued the yellow dog "Get your stuff together and prepare to walk all the way there, because after the stunt I pulled we are most likely unwelcome in the Kingdom" said Jake with regret emanating from his voice. "Bro what do you mean?" "I'm the reason she hated you and slapped you when you first met for real; my intentions were good I wanted to help you get over Princess Bubblegum. So I took it upon myself to try and find a girl your age…" Jake continued to explain, a while later he finally ending with a sigh. "Dude thank you, I mean for trying to help me out. It's okay really." Finn said with happiness and thankfulness.

After an hour of packing Finn was finally finished.

With Flame Princess…

The princess looked down at her hands with hatred 'why does everything I touch have to burn? I mean even if I don't want it to; it'll still burn' she asked herself. Several fiery tears streamed down her face. "No I won't accept it, I have to learn to control my powers, and emotions" she said aloud. 'But I can't do it alone' she thought feeling totally defeated. "Well for now, I need to get back home." 'Don't worry Finn, I'll find a way to be with you.' She thought to herself; a determined smile plastered on her face.

Back to Finn and Jake…

They descended the ladder that led to the bottom half of their tree house. "Ready Finn?" asked a determined Jake. "Ye- wait…dude I should grab the family sword that we got from the dungeon dad built" responded Finn; with lightning quick speed he grabbed the sword he and Jake placed on the mantle over their fireplace. "Ready!" he said eagerly.

As they left they told Bmo they'd be back within a week. "Ok, bye Finn, Jake" said the small video game console. As Bmo watched them leave he climbed the ladder with a little trouble. The small console looked in the mirror that lies at an angle against the wall in the bathroom. He/She began to talk to himself doing his best to act like a human.

"Dude, what the fuck is he doing?" asked the now charismatic boy. "Finn, Bmo is weird to begin with. Also didn't mom teach us not to curse!" said the shape shifter wiggling his arms in a weird fashion almost as if he had no bones. "Bro I'm sorry, I just…" "Hey man, just messin' with ya. I don't care if you curse…every now and then" cut in Jake with a huge smile; a scary one at that. "Okay we wasted enough time let's get going Jake…well actually you lead the way you know how to get there" the youth proclaimed with excitement. As they began their long and dangerous journey they suddenly heard a girlish scream. "Finn, I know you're a hero and all but seriously ignore it" said the dog in a serious voice. "Jake, really dude that's messed up yo, even if I wanted to, that goes against my morals and heroic code of honor" Finn said practically yelling at his best friend and adoptive brother. "Fine, Finn but it'll delay us even more" said the dog barely above a whisper.

The two young adventurers leapt into action, and by leapt I mean into a bush. They peeked to see what was going on. There sat a little fire cat, being terrorized by several Werewolves. "Is that Flambo?" asked a curious Finn. Jake responded with a light chuckle "Uh, yeah last time I saved him he was screaming just like he is now, like a bitch I mean" he finished. Finn jumped into the air, and grabbed his sword that he was now glad he packed.

With ninja like quickness and skill he managed to kill two of the five wolves. While Jake grabbed Flambo leading the cat to safety "Look who we have here, a snack" said the leader with murderous intent in his eyes. "Get em' boys!" commanded the wolf. The two remaining wolves lunged at our hero. Finn back flipped to avoid the initial attacks. Holding his blood soaked sword he then swung it toward one of them giving the wolf a nasty, deep gash on the stomach. "Bring it!" said an overly confident Finn. "Maneuver 6" whispered the bleeding wolf. Suddenly they became one their mass doubling, a giant wolf with two heads. As they did this, Finn managed to take advantage and cut their heads off. "Easy" said the prideful Finn.

"Good show, but now you die!" said the leader as he charged at Finn with blinding speed, and punched him in the stomach with such force it cause Finn to cough up blood. "Hehe, I just broke three of your ribs" he said as he watched the hero fall to the ground. Finn was fading fast but something enabled him to keep going. He picked himself up off the ground blood trickling from his mouth; he coughed up a clump of clotted blood. Grabbing his sword he charged at the leader of the wolves. Doing his best to try and gain an upper hand. "I have to commend you on your will power but that won't be enough to defeat me" said the wolf with an evil laugh.

He violently punched Finn in the face knocking out a tooth. The wolf then turned around with a grin "Come dog hel-…" he stopped to look down on the count of the sharp pain he felt in his chest. He saw a 6 foot blade coming from his chest. "You turned around… th-that was your downfall" said the young boy before passing out from the pain. "FINN!" yelled Jake and Flambo in unison. Jake quickly grabbed some Cyclops tears and threw them onto Finn's body. The wounds quickly vanished. Finn then woke.

Knowing that Finn was okay Flambo rushed over "You okay kid?" asked the fiery feline. "Yeah I'm fine now" said the adventurer calmly. "Well then, lets continue on our journey to Fire Kingdom." said Jake with a serious tone. "Wait, yous guys going to the Fire Kingdom? For whats?" asked the young fiery feline. "To see the Flame Princess, duh!" said the enthusiastic Finn. "Oh Boy" said the cat. "Finn how are you going to fix the situation Jake caused in the first place?" "You'll see" the thirteen year old replied.

With FP…

"Wha…what was that? It couldn't be an earthquake could it?" asked the Flame Princess aloud even though she was by herself. 'Should I check it out?' she questioned herself. "Naw" she said, continuing on her slow journey back to her kingdom. Little did she know that a certain boy, dog, and fire creature were a little less than a mile behind her…

Authors Notes: So I have ended up working on this for roughly 10 hours, I sincerely hope that the time taken reflects in my writing. I am sorry if Finn and Jake are a little out of character, when I write I like to make the characters feel like my own. It was very difficult for me to write this and be original (considering everyone is using the same type of layout for the most part). If anything written in this fic sounds stolen please PM me or include in your review. If that occurs I will do my best to fix it, I want to apologize in advance if we have that inconvenience. Also is it just me or does Flambo have like an Italian accent? Thank you for reading this Fic. Feel free to Review and Favorite if you like the story. It lets me know what to improve on. New chapter will be up by Friday, April 20th 2012 hopefully if not shortly after. Thanks again! XD
