Author's Note: Hey Guys! 1St Fanfic! This continues on two years after the events of "A New Knight". This chapter doesn't contain much, it's meant as a teaser and a heads up. Expect the Lich! Also, do review this, your reviews are the only comforts on those nights I cry myself to sleep (T'was a joke, don't go assuming I'm all angsty and emotional.)

I woke to the smell of gum and the sight of my beautiful girlfriend's sleeping form. I tried to move out of her embrace without waking her but to no avail as she sleepily opened her adorable eyes and peered at me.

"Uhhh" she moaned "I forgot you're a morning person."

I lean forward to kiss her forehead and whisper "Just getting breakfast ready Peebs, go back to sleep."

She then turned so her back faced me and snuggled into the blankets, returning back to sleep within seconds. As I walked down the stairs of the treehouse I thought about how perfect my life was. Bubblegum moved into the treehouse after we started dating as she said she'd rather be an adventurer and leave the ruling to her mother; the candy queen. She adapted very quickly to the adventurer's life, combining her skill with a bow and her scientific knowledge, making special science arrows that did all sorts of mathematical stuff. We fought evil together just like Jake and I used to. Jake still adventured with us from time to time but he spent most of his time with Lady and his only difference now was that adventuring was certainly harder, PB's intelligence and scientific knowledge was no substitute for magic powers, even if she did have science arrows.

I set to work on breakfast and soon the kitchen was filled with the delicious scent of bacon minutes, Bubblegum stood at the base of the stairs in a pink night gown and slippers, shuffling towards the plate of pancakes while sniffing the air.

"Oh Finn, bacon pancakes? You shouldn't have." She giggled, kissing me on the cheek and then pushing past me to get to the pancakes.

"Aw, It was no trouble" I replied, feeling my face grow warm. I sat down next to her and began to eat too.

After breakfast we each took a shower and prepared our adventure gear. I wore my trademark outfit while PB wore a matching set of pink shirt and rarely wore dresses now that she stopped having to perform her royal duties.I made sure that everything we needed was in my green backpack while PB took the bow I crafted for her and her quiver of completely mathematical arrows.

We then headed out towards the cave where a creature was, the candy queen ordered us to slay it as it was terrorizing the country for much was known about the monster from the witness's accounts except that it made really loud exploding sounds and bright flashes of light when it attacked due to the fact that most of the candy people just exploded when it came.

"Finn? What's wrong? You look worried." The sound of PB's voice shook me out of my thoughts.

"It's nothing, just um thinking about where we could go for lunch later!" I lied a little too eagerly. Despite what I said, I couldn't shake the sneaking suspicion in my gut that something was amiss.

Luckily, PB didn't seem to notice as she just grinned and replied "We could go to my mom's place later, we haven't visited in awhile."

I absent-mindedly nodded and gave a forced smile in reply. Before we knew it we were at the entrance of the creature's lair. It was dark and eerie, sending shivers down my spine just by looking at it. My brain was hurting and there was a nagging feeling that I had forgotten something important, but it was like trying to remember a dream and every time I came close to the memory, I stopped just short.

I was once again interrupted by PB's excited face, (she was so curious about exploring everything) she drew me in close for a passionate kiss before shouting "Last one in gets to do the dishes!" leaping into the darkness of the cave.

My doubts forgotten, I dived in after her wearing a grin stained with pink lipstick.
