I dont own Adventure Time!
Prologue
Flame Princess checked her watch angrily. Calm down. She told herself, as her flames started to grow in size. He's probably just late. He'll show.
Her thoughts were clearly doing nothing, however, as they continued to become more and more violent. Why does this always happen to me?! She thought, as a fire-y tear ran down her cheek.
"Flame Princess?" asked a boyish voice. She turned, ready to take her anger out on whoever was emerging from the clearing. Upon seeing the white hatted figure, however, her flames instantly calmed down.
"Finn!" she cried, then ran towards him. "I didn't think you were coming!"
He laughed. "Of course I was coming! I was just running a little late when a certain magic dog decided to eat our food."
She grinned, then looked down, embarrassed. "Sorry about…you know."
He looked around the forest, seeing the smoldering tree stumps. "Hey, it's not as bad as last time. And look! Now we can use these as chairs."
Flame Princess blushed again. "I better not."
Finn grinned. "Luckily…" he said, turning around, then pulling a large sheet of tin foil from behind his back. "I'm always prepared."
She laughed. "Oh Finn," she said, then grabbed the fireproof picnic basket Finn had brought. "What did you bring?"
Finn gently set the foil on the stump, then sat on one next to it and looked through. "The usual." He replied.
"Sandwiches," he said, tossing two on the middle stump. "Chocolate chip muffins…" suddenly, he paused and hit his forehead. "Jake!"
"What's wrong?" Flame Princess replied, looking over his shoulder.
"He put candles in instead of the flaming cheese I know you like!" he looked up. "I can go get it if you want."
She giggled. "Aw Finn, you're the sweetest. But I think candles are more romantic, anyway. Here, pick one up."
He gently took one, as she placed her hand on the wick. Suddenly, a small flame danced before them.
"Shmowow! Is it doing the macarana?" laughed Finn.
They both laughed at the enchanted flame, until it slowly blew out in the wind.
Simultaniously, they looked at each other. Finn started to lean towards Flame Princess.
She jumped up. "Finn! You know what happened last time!
Finn blushed. "But, I mean, it was only a few burns, and I got over them pretty fast. And I think I'm more ready, now, and…"
"You are NOT getting hurt again because of me."
Finn looked into her eyes, pleading. "Just once?"
She sighed. She really wanted to kiss him too. And maybe he was ready now. Maybe she could control her flames.
Slowly, they both leaned in again, until they're lips met. Flame Princess felt the sparks coursing through her body, and hoped they weren't coming from her.
Suddenly, Finn dropped on the ground. "DANG YOU FINN!" cried Flame Princess, as she quickly searched the basket for water. Finally, she found some, and poured it over his mouth.
"AH!" she screamed, as some of the water hit her. But her anger quickly died, as she saw his face.
Flame Princess's glow illuminated the four nasty burns Finn had just acquired around his mouth.
"I'm fine! I swear…" he said, but his tearing eyes showed the truth.
"See! I told you!" She cried, fighting her own tears.
Finn tried to smile. "But wasn't it worth it?"
"Not to see you in pain!" her flames instantly grew with her anger.
"Flame Princess!" he shouted. "Calm down! I'm fine!"
"Don't lie to me!" she screamed. A few streams of fire shot out her hands.
"I…I need to go." She said, distressed, before storming into the woods.
Finn absentmindedly touched his burn, wincing at the pain. "Ow." He said, glancing at the fire-y trail she left behind her.
"When will she learn?" He mumbled, picking up the remains of the picnic. He sighed at the candle. "It's all worth it to me."
