Author's Note!

Aww yeaa...Finnceline. : D Just a fair warning: Some scenes will be hard to write…IF you know what I mean….; P

But I'll try my best; just don't expect any M rated material.

Anytime soon anyway.

Finn's still 13, I'm probably not going to age him 18 or something. Most spelling and or grammar mistakes are intentional, since I want to stick to Finn's or other characters' radical styles. Oh, and since I feel like I have to: I don't own Adventure Time {sadly}. No matter how radical it would be, it belongs to Pendleton Ward, etc. This is my first fanfic, so hope you guys like it. But anyway enough stalling and on with der story…

Prologue:

Right now, it was life or death. I could hear the princesses' shrieks even from where I was standing. Calm down, I thought, it'll be just like last time, you just need to defeat him with the power of liking-someone-a-lot… But I knew he wouldn't go down so easily now. I heard my own ragged breaths as I put my hands on my knees. The low, grumbling whisper of the Lich's voice in my ear as he told me the exact same words he had said when he was leading me to my doom, not so long ago.

"Aren't you cold…. Finn?"

Chapter 1: Finn (much earlier)

This was bunk.

I was draped across the couch in our treehouse, with absolu-nothing to do besides listen to Jake playing Guardians of Sunshine on Beemo (and still failing). I took in the really strong scent of Tree Trunks's fresh apples from an earlier pranking session with Jake and NEPTR as I went over my mental check list:

Sparring? Check.

Saved some princesses (yet again)? Check.

Punched Ice King in the gut? Nah, that old coot was just working on that fan fiction he was writing about me and my bro. I mean, really, Fionna and Cake? Creepy.

How about hangin' with Peebles? I sighed. No, she was working on some super- sciencey junk. Somethin about reversing the polarity of science, science, science. Lately she had just been locked inside her lab doing Lincoln-knows-what. So no. After I hear the sound of Jake in the middle of the room losing for like the kajillionth time, I asked, "Jake why the math don't you give up already? Look you've wasted Beemo all up!"

"No way man, I almost got to the second level! " He says, without even looking away from Beemo's dimming screen.

"Finn is right, Jake," BMO said in its cute but weird accent, "I am in critical low battery! You must turn me off!" I grinned.

"Beemo, I think Jake just wants you turned on." I say. Suddenly a giant orange fist flicks me in the buns from where I was lying on the couch face-first on the circular carpet. Ouch. By instinct I flip back up quickly, with my hand on the hilt of my sword ready to kick monster butt. And then I look down and see Jake's emotionless face creepily lit up by Beemo's screen.

"What the hey-hey Jake!" He turns his face upwards after his character dies at Hunny Bunny.

"Dude, don't say things like that! Where the math did you get that from anyways?!"

"Yeesh, I just said you wanted Beemo turned on..." I muttered. What was wrong with that guy today… Jake was about to laugh his pixie pants off and then he caught himself. "Whatever, dude, imma go take a nap. Stupid Sleepy Sam…" He slingshots himself up to our room, and as his stretchy self passes me I heard him say "WHAMP!" and lets out a huge fart. And I had my mouth open.

"Aw, sick dude! Why can't you ever use your powers WITHOUT letting out your butt cologne?" I said sarcastically to the ceiling, while waving away the air in front of me. I heard Jake's booming laughter. I remember my bro telling me the story of how he kept trying to rescue me when I was kidnapped by those weird yellow goblins, and how he had passed out at his own joke with some water nymph ladies. I frowned. Yeah, Jake, laugh till you realize what a butt you are, I thought. But you're MY butt. Wait, never mind. That just sounds weird.

MENTAL NOTE: Ask Jake what sexy pole-dancing is.

Ugh, I needed water. I carefully put my sword in the corner of the room; sure I wasn't gonna use it where I was going. I decided to go to the little pond near our house where me and Jake fed those ducks. I did a triple flip out the window and landed on the little pillow (hehe, that rhymes) I laid out just in case Jake ever temporarily lost his powers again. Unlikely, but ya never know what kinda crazy witches might be lurking around Ooo. I turned from the treehouse and began to walk on the path cutting in the middle of the forest. (3rd person POV)The sun was already going to set. Shades of blood red and purple surrounded the sun, illuminating the rows of endless trees and clouds in the Land of Ooo… It was a wonderful sight, one that would conclude the last peaceful day…(Back to Finn) I looked up to the clouds and sighed. This sunset was probably one of a kind, it was so flippin' beautiful.

Like me.

Well, the one of a kind part anyway. Susan had run away with the rest of the frickin fish people tribe, so I had no way of knowing if she was human, much less ask her about what happened to my people. How was it possible, after thirteen years, no one's EVER told me anything about, well…me? How was it possible the other humans just…disappeared?! Did I have no real, living, human parents out there? Sure, I loved Ma and Dad, Jake's parents, but….I felt something...MISSING. I slammed my fist against one of the trees next to me, making some of the leaves fall to the ground, the bark chipped, and my fist throb. Oh no, oh no. I quickly turned back and gave it a quick kiss. I was seriously getting thirstier. I began to jog, "SORRY, TREE!" I yelled back. Okay Finn, I thought, that's enough soul-searchiness for one day…I slowly stopped, seeing that the sky was darkening and I was stepping on candy cobblestone. I directed my gaze to what lay in front of yhe path. The Candy Kingdom. It looked pretty rad at night; the lights making it look like an amuse-y park I saw in one of several old books Jake had stuffed under the floor planks.

I wonder what PB'S doing. Is she still working on that… pssh, what's the use, I thought as I lifted up some of the candy sidewalk and sucked on it, she's probably gonna have Peppermint Butler "escort" me out again… I slumped. I didn't feel like going to the pond anymore. I turned my body away from the tempting (and delicious) Candy Kingdom and went back the way I came from, beginning with the rustling, growling bushes. Wait, GROWLING bushes..? I smiled. Heh, no problem I'll just take my sword out and see what the lump is the-and then it hits me. I left my sword at home. All I saw was a blur of an ugly black thing and I crashed to the ground. I use a headlock (thanks to Donny) and flipped the creature thing over so that I'm on top of it, but still it struggles. I raise my fist ready to KO and the monster starts…laughing? It slowly morphs into that pale face I've seen so much lately. "Marceline." I meant to say her name in surprise but it came out in a whisper. We stay like that for a few awkward seconds, me wide-eyed and her eyes in a bored expression. She smirked.

"So you gonna get off of me or what?"I barely noticed my hands were on either side of her body.

"Oh, uh, right…" I rolled off to the side and flipped back up. I felt my face flush. Why do I act so weird around her … Marceline just floated over and sat in the branch of a tree, so she was facing me. (Another rhyme?)

"So, uh, what'r you doing so close to the Candy Kingdom? I thought you and PB were like enemies or something..." I said, trying to make conversation. She blew a strand of her hair out of her eyes. "Nah, Bonnie's too sweet and sugary to be my enemy…but y'know, I was hungry, so I was seeing if Peppermint Butler was around…" Oh no, not Peppermint! Wait, she's just messing with my head…right? I guess she must have seen my horrified face, so she cackled. " Finn, you're totally predictable."I leaned against the tree she was sitting on. She laughed again. She took an apple next to her, sucked the red, and lightly threw it to my head. She bared her fangs. "So, why do you look so …down in the dumps?" she asked.

"Nothing. Nothing." I muttered, avoiding her gaze. PB. Everything. But of course I'm not going to talk about my probs to anyone anytime soon. She flew down and touched my shoulder. It sent weird chills up my arm. Seeing my uncomfortable-ness, she pulled her hand away and put a lock of hair behind her ear. "Well, whenever you need to talk, you know where to find me..." She transformed into her bat form and quickly flapped away. I watched her until she was just a dark dot in the distance.

All right! First chapter done!

I know yesterday's episode said Susan was a human but I was typing this Sunday so forget that episode with this. I'll try to update as soon as I can, so check back every week or two. I don't have internet at my house so I'll see what I can do. (Damn, I keep rhyming… you can never watch Adventure Time too much…) Thanks 4 reading. : )

Finn: "it calls me forth!"
Jake: "No it's probably just puberty calling…"
