"Finn. Finn wake up. Finn!"

Finn shot his eyes open and screamed, seeing a yellow furry face about a few inches in front of his own face. He rolled off of his bed, knocking over the canine trying to wake him, while still screaming as he wiggled out of his sleeping bag and stood up in a defense pose.

"Ow… Dude…!" The dog groaned and rubbed his head, having been thrown off of the bed and falling onto the top of his head. "My brain hurts…" He pouted, his furry squishy body staying the shape as a squished blob as he continued to stay in his place.

Finn calmed down upon realizing there was no real threat in the room. "What the? What are you doing Jake?" He gave a yawn and stretched, picking back up his larger sleeping bag than before when he was younger and throwing it back onto his bed and then flopping down on top of it.

"No! Dude!" Jake whined, forgetting about his hurting head as he remembered what he was trying to do in the first place. The dog stretched back to his normal dogish form and wrapped his arms around the leg of the teenager, pulling him off of the bed. It was quite a small hassle to lift him now that the teen was taller and heavier than when he was just a small boy. But with the magical stretching powers Jake held, it wasn't too hard to do so, and he had the teen up on his feet in a while.

Finn sighed and looked down at Jake. It wasn't all that great to be woken up with a face directly in front of yours, more or less when it was so early it was still dark out. But he still laughed even though he was tired, seeing the pleading face of his older adopted brother. "What Jake?"

Jake smiled, pulling out two shiny strips of paper from his back and showing them to Finn. "Look what Choose Goose gave me! I traded something small for them too! He gave me a discount that's why." He gave a triumphant grin as Finn took the thin rectangle papers from his hand and observed them.

Though it was a bit hard to see in the dark, Finn could make out big bolded words on the two identical papers. Jake bounced up and down, watching Finn squint a little to see a tad better. "Train tickets?" Finn read, flipping the papers over.

Jake smirked, "Not just any train tickets!" He leaned in close, "Magical train tickets." Jake whispered, trying to add a suspenseful feeling into the air. "And they expire tomorrow morning." He pointed out the window to show that the sun had yet to rise.

Finn looked at the ticket passes in confusion, "Magical train tickets? Do they fly?" He threw them into the air out of curiosity to see if they would begin to float.

Jake gasped, catching the falling passes before they hit the ground. "No man! The tickets aren't magical! The train is and we've got tickets for the train."

"Oh…" Finn nodded, now understanding.

Jake laughed, "Anyway. I found these babies in my sleeping drawer while I was rolling around for a comfortable place to sleep. These were sticking out and scratching me so I woke up and found them. Then I remembered why I had these in the first place." He patted the tickets, looking up at his younger brother with a smile that said he was planning something.

Finn noticed the look on Jake's face and raised an eyebrow, "So why'd you trade something for them?" He questioned.

Jake gave a giggle, "You have to promise you'll go and I'll tell you."

Finn sighed, "Alright I promise. Wouldn't want to waste some tickets anyway."

Jake this time laughed, "Okay! So these tickets will summon the train that will take us to this nice place. I figured we could use so bro time so I got the tickets. But that's only one tiny reason." He grinned, "The train will take us… To a beach."

Finn's pupils dilated from the word, but before he could do anything Jake stopped him, holding up a finger. "I'm not finished yet. The other reason why I got the tickets is so that we could spend a few days trying to get you over your fear of the ocean."

"Wha? W-What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of the ocean!"

Jake frowned at him, "Before I bought the tickets I remembered that we had to go slay this beast of the sea but you chickened out at the last minute and ran away. Luckily for us the beast swam away and stopped terrorizing the land. That's when I figured we needed to get you over your fear. I mean, it was okay when you were younger but now you're like seventeen or something… sixteen? I forgot."

Finn continued to stand there, his face with a blank expression. Jake stretched his arm up and around Finn's shoulders, "Don't worry bro! If you're still afraid after then that shows it can't be helped and we'll have to deal with it. By the way since we have to take the magical train there, I heard the beach was really nice and private since barely anybody gets magical train tickets. The water is crystal clear and the sand is bright white and clean!" Jake began daydreaming, "Man I am stocked to go! We'll be camping out there for a couple of days too! Also they keep a bathroom there along with a shower and stuff but we'll have to bring our own shampoo and everything."

Still Finn stayed unmoving.

"Bro?" Jake looked up and gently shook him. "C'mon dude! It won't be that bad!" He made puppy dog eyes, pouting his lips, "And you promised you'd go." Jake tried saying in a cute child voice, even clasping his hands together to make it all the more pitiful.

Finn made the mistake of looking straight at the dog's eyes. He sighed, "I did promise…" Finn muttered, rubbing the back of his neck.

Jake jumped up and cheered, "Hooray! Hurry and pack bro! We've got a short time left before the ticket expires!" He began dashing around the room, throwing Finn his green backpack while grabbing his own blue backpack. Jake didn't exactly need any clothes besides his pants strung by pixies with spider webs so he began to pack their toiletries along with camping gear.

Finn quickly changed and began to pack sets of clothing into his backpack, shuddering as he grabbed his swim trunks that Jake had bought for him just recently probably when he had bought the train tickets too. Now Finn knew why Jake had decided to give him a present on a random day. It was fine in a way though, Finn having grown out of his old swim trunks from before.

"Shampoo. One for you one for me. Toothbrushes. Toothpaste. Some towels. Sleeping bags. A tent. Food. And all this other stuff." Jake shook his bag, not naming anything else that he had made sure he didn't forget first. He noticed Finn still packing and stretching his arm into a drawer, pulling out some underwear and stuffing it into Finn's bag. "Don't forget that."

Finn groaned, "I wasn't going to anyway." He slung his fattened backpack over his back, grabbing his Demon Blood Sword and sheathing it behind his back as well. "I'm done." Finn twisted his body side to side as if to check. "Yeah." He said to make sure.

Jake began bouncing excitedly "Okay! Let's go!" They both ran out the front door, Jake nearly forgetting the train tickets and stretching his arm to grab them as they ran. He stretched into his giant form, putting Finn on his back to save time.

"I thought you said we summon the train." Finn stated as he sat atop Jake's furry head, trying to see the scenery through the dark.

"We do! But the train needs a place to land first!" He was headed straight for the train tracks where the normal trains would run. Once they arrived in a couple of minutes, Jake began to stretch back into his normal form with Finn jumping off of him as he did. "Watch!" He held up the two tickets. "Ride on the Mystical Train please!" The tickets began to shine and then just abruptly stopped.

Finn tried to look at the tickets, "What happened? Were we too late?"

Jake grinned, "What? No. Now we have to wait. Like a normal train." He walked over to a waiting bench and sat down, pulling his backpack to the front of him and checking over the list of items again. "I separated your stuff from my stuff so we won't get confused."

Finn just shrugged his shoulders, walking over to the bench and sitting down next to him. Around ten minutes later, Finn probably would have been sleeping, but the thought of going to a place with an ocean just kept him awake. He actually did want to go to the paradise beach, but just not in the ocean. Unfortunately for him, the ocean is the main reason why they're going in the first place.

Jake was happily kicking his feet up and down as they waited, stopping when his phone rang. He pulled it out of his backpack and put on the headphones while pressing answer. "Hello?" He said, twirling the cord of the headphones in his finger. Slowly his expression began to drop until it began a melancholy frown, "W-What? E-Emergency? Right now?" He checked his watch. "But-!"

Finn could hear the other line of the phone being shut off before Jake could finish what he was saying. Talk about timing. He waited a couple of seconds before saying anything, "Who called?"

Jake let out a sad sigh, "Lady… Says there's something up with where she's at… It must be a big emergency since she's calling so early even when the sun's not even out yet…" He slumped as he got off of the bench, clearly upset that it would mean not being able to go to the beach and that the magical ticket would be wasted.

Finn almost too happily got up from the bench as well.

Jake noticed and frowned at him. "Where do you think you're going?"

"To go help?"

"Oh no you're not. You still need to go get over your fear."

Finn groaned, "What about your ticket?"

Jake looked down at his ticket in his hands in sadness, "Guess I'll have to throw it away…" He was about to throw away the rectangle paper in a trash bin but stopped once his senses picked up some new different movement.

The both of them froze as an unforgettable mischievous laugh was heard in the air, "Or…" The dame appeared before them and stepped onto the ground, "You could give it to me. I'll go for you." She put her arm around Finn's neck, dragging him down to her level since she was now shorter, "And I'll teach Finny over here to swim!"

"Marceline!" Finn and Jake yelled in surprise though they didn't know why they were surprised since she seemed to do that a lot to them anyway. Finn ducked under her arm and stood back up straight, "Um. I can swim." He defended himself, noticing that she had got her facts wrong.

She laughed again, "Well whatever. I'll want to go." Marceline floated back up, now leveling both hers and Finn's heights.

Jake eyed her, not really liking the thought leaving Finn with a vampire for a couple of days "I don't know… I mean, you still need your stuff-"He tried making an excuse.

"Done." Marceline showed him a gray bag filled with all of her own items. She smirked, knowing well what he was trying to do.

He glared at her, "How did you get your stuff already and how did you know where we were going?"

She shrugged, "I overheard you conversation, packed my stuff, and here I am."

"In other words, you spied, left to get your stuff, and now showed yourself now that there's a convenient excuse for you to go."

"Yup. Basically." Marceline laughed again. "C'mon, you need him to overcome his fear and you have these amazing passes to go to the awesome beach which you were going to throw away."

Jake stuck her tongue out at her, "No. I was going to throw away one because Finn is still going!" They began to stare face to face with each other with their hands on their hips.

"Why waste one when you could give it to me?" She slyly smirked.

"Why let my brother go alone with someone like you?" He retorted back.

"Why let Finn go alone at all?" They began to get up in each other's faces as they argued.

Finn sighed, stepping in between them and pushing them away from each other. "Stop it you guys! I don't even want to go anyway!"

They both glared at him, "You're going." They said together. Finn sighed again, all three of them looking up to see a flying train begin its decent down. Marceline turned back down to Jake, "So? You have an emergency to deal with and the trains here. Why waste a ticket? Besides I can keep Finn company."

Jake furrowed his brow but began pacing around while holding his head in thought. "Err!" He groaned, rubbing his head in circles.

"Tick tock." Marceline smirked, reminding him that his time was running short.

He sighed, finally coming to an answer as he shoved the ticket into her hands. "Fine!" Putting his backpack down, Jake began angrily digging through it, taking out multiple items before closing it again and handing it to her. "Hygiene stuff and camping stuff!"

Marceline grinned, "Thanks!" She slung the blue backpack over her shoulder and held the ticket delicately in her hands.

Jake stretched, grabbing all of the things he took out, "This is my stuff but you won't really need it now." He walked over to Finn and gave him and smile, "I wish you luck with both your fear and…" Jake turned over to Marceline "…her."

Marceline playfully stuck her tongue out at him. He stuck his tongue back but began running to Lady's house once his phone rang again telling him to hurry up. "Goodbye!" Jake yelled over his back as he stretched giant and ran.

"Bye!" Both Finn and Marceline waved.

Marceline grinned, seeing that the train landed, letting off steam as it stopped. "Well let's go Finn! We can bring Jake back a souvenir." She took his arm and floated over to the train, the both of them handing their tickets to a fancy looking conductor and entering the train.

Finn wasn't really sure what to think. He was afraid of going due to the ocean, but a couple of days camping with Marceline seemed fun in its own league. It's not like he had a choice whether or not he could go anyway. So hopefully he'll come to like it.

"Sweet!" Marceline took the receipt tickets from the conductor, handing one to Finn and leading him down the walkway of the train. The train immediately lifted off yet ran smoothly for both Marceline and Finn couldn't even feel it moving. Not that Marceline was even touching the floor anyway. She opened the door to a room, "We've got a train room until we land too!"

The train was lighted, Finn still trying to adjust his eyes to the brightness from being outside in the dark for a while when they had waited for the train. But once he saw the room, he gasped, seeing how big and fancily decorated the room looked. "Woooah!"

Marceline set down all the bags and her deadly instrument ax she was carrying onto the floor of the room, "Call top bunk!" She called, landing on her feet and running over to the bunk beds and jumping up and onto the one on top. Marceline giggled, snuggling into the cushions of the amazingly comfortable bed.

Finn looked at the bunk bed in awe. It wasn't your normal bunk bed but was bigger and a lot less cramped. He could even tell that if he were to sit up on the bottom bunk, his head wouldn't be near to hitting the top bunk which proves how big and spaced the beds were. Unlike jumping onto his bed like Marceline had done with her own, Finn walked over to the wall that held a large window. But of course it was still dark out so he couldn't see anything.

"Well we've got quite a few hours before landing." Marceline read the receipt ticket, lazily hanging on arm off of her bed.

Finn looked at the ticket too, "Well then I'm going to sleep. I'm tired." He went over to his bed and face-planted into it, amazed at how comfortable it was as well.

Marceline flipped herself off of her bed, "And I'm going to go find the food and then go to sleep too. I was awake all day and night yesterday." She left the room, shutting the lights off for him before she left.


Yes I know Finn has a new sword... But whatever.

So this is a new story I felt like starting to take a break from my other stories. A fun story really. Also I noticed that I've made a lot of AU's and I wanted to make something not so alternate universe-ish

I plan on making this story short. But if I end up having more ideas to add then may it end up being long.
