Chapter 1 the Starlight Dance
Tonight, in the land of Ooo, a spectacle that takes place every eleven years was about to begin. On this night, Finn's life will forever change.
It was late in the afternoon. The sun was setting to turn into a brilliant red, making the landscape shine beautifully within its rays. As the residence prepare for the spectacle to come, we look to the tree house fort to find our heroes preparing for the events ahead. But, the events taking place tonight, is something Finn the human would have never prepared for.
"Dude, I'm like so fizzed up right now!" Finn said excitedly
"I know man. I mean you haven't seen the starlight dance since you were in diapers." Said Jake as he was grooming his fur.
In Finn's mind:
"Man has it really been this long? My parents told me that the first time I saw the starlight dance was when I was five. This is going to be the second time I get to see it. I'm so putting this memory into the vault. But you're supposed to bring someone with you and I have no one to go with."
"Yeah man." Said Finn in a slightly less excited tone
"What is it man?" said Jake in a concerned voice.
"I'm just bummed out that I have no one to go with. I mean you're going with Lady. It's been a year since Flame Princess broke up with me. I don't even want to bother with PB. What should I do Jake?" Explained Finn
"I don't know man. Let me think for a little bit." Said Jakes as he began to rub his head like he usually does when he thinks hard
A few moments past
"Well anything?" Said Finn
"Hold on. Thinking is a tough job. Now let me concentrate." Said Jake in an irritated voice
Another moment has past. The room fell into an awkward silence. A silence so deep you can hear BMO singing in front of the mirror in the upstairs bathroom.
"Na, I've got nothing for you brother."
Finn was about to go upstairs to see what BMO was up too until Jake said something else.
"Hey, why don't you go with Marceline? I mean she's a good friend right?" Enthusiastically replied Jake
"I don't know Jake. I'm not even sure that Marcy is into that kind of stuff. And I'm pretty sure she has seen it plenty of times, being an immortal vampire and all." Finn replied back
Jake turned his back "well unless you want to see Rainicorn and I smooching away then…"
"Okay, okay fine I'll go to her place right now then." Said Finn as he ran off to get his backpack
"You better hurry, the starlight dance is going to start in about an hour!" yelled Jake
"Okay man!" Finn yelled back. "Her place is about forty-five minutes from here if I walk. I should be able to make it."
About a half an hour later
In Finn's mind:
"Man, Jake always has a way to convince me. I don't even know if Marcy will even go with me. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. She did after all help me with my first breakup with Flame Princess. But after a little while, she has been acting differently. She started visiting me less frequently. Then the visits just stop. Well at least now we can have time to catch up on our…"
Finn's thought were interrupted by a yell for help in the distance.
"Help, someone, anyone, please help me!" the old voice yelled.
Finn, with his hero instinct, ran as fast as he could. Soon he found himself at the edge of a deep sinkhole.
"Hey, are you ok down there?" Finn asked the person in the deep sinkhole.
"Yes, I'm fine but I seem to be stuck down here with no way out. I was just walking along, and then the ground gave out with no warning. The next thing I knew is that I'm in this dark place." The voice replied.
"Hold on! I'll go find something to make a rope out of for you to climb!"
Finn then started to look around the area he was in. He saw a couple of vines. He then grabbed them and formed a lengthy rope, setting it down the sinkhole.
"Can you reach the rope?" Finn asked the person
"Wait almost… there, I have it. You can pull me up now" The old voice said.
Finn pulled up the rope to see a little old hermit with a pointy hat.
"Thank you Finn"
"Hey no probs." Replied Finn
He then noticed how dark it was now. The sun was now fully sunken under the horizon.
"Oh glob, I'm going to be late. The starlight dance is going to start soon. I will never get to Marcy's in time!" Exclaimed Finn
"Oh you are?
The old hermit then reached into his bag and pulled out a red potion bottle.
"Here, take this as a token of my gratitude." The old man said as he handed Finn the bottle
"Uhhh what the heck is this supposed to be?" Questioned Finn
"This is a magical potion that can give you the power to fly"
"Sooo do I just drink it then" Asked Finn
"Well you can but…."
Finn was already gulping it down.
"cough* cough*… that was nasty. It tasted terrible."
"You didn't have to drink it. You could've just poured it on yourself." Replied the old man
"Sorry I was in a rush there. So when does this potion take effect?" Asked Finn
He didn't notice that he was slowly floating up. Finn was spinning around in a panic. He flew up and down. Then he did a loop and crashed into a nearby tree.
"ouch! I'm going to need some practice with this."
Soon Finn decided to practice his new ability. All his training for adapting to new things has paid off. He mastered his flight within a matter of minutes. Finn thanked the old man and went off to Marceline's house. Within a few minutes, Finn saw the cave. He flew to the front door and stopped. He then raised his hand to knock on the door.
