CHAPTER 1

Finn the Human was resisting the urge to open his eyes as much as possible. He couldn't give in! Never! But Jake didn't seem to understand it, he kept shaking Finn up and down, swinging him across the room with his stretchy arms, even had BMO make the fake-farting sounds that they knew he laughed to. And Finn had nearly laughed to it, but he concentrated on the task at hand, refusing with all his might. He knew by the now complaining tone to Jake's voice that he was breaking. Finn made a small smile. He was getting closer, closer…

"C'mon man, we're going to be late."

Late? His curiosity was poked, but he wouldn't be swayed.

"Dude!" Jake wailed, "You seriously want to be late to Candy Kingdom High on your first day!?" He exclaimed, he rolled his eyes. "Whatever man, I'm gonna go make breakfast. C'mon BMO!" He said as he went down the ladder, BMO in tow. Finn waited for them before shifting to a more comfortable position in his sleeping bag. He was concentrating on sleeping when realization dawned upon him. "Candy Kingdom High! Oh Glob! Gotta get ready, gotta get ready!" he said to himself rapidly as he somersaulted out of his sleeping bag, and ran across the room. He changed out of his furry red, one-piece pajama, and into a light blue shirt, and dark blue shorts. He slipped into his socks and shoes before jumping down into the lower level, where BMO and Jake were at the table talking.

"So then I told Football how to drink tea properly, but he wouldn't listen!" BMO explained.

"Hmm…," Jake said, knowing that BMO called his reflection Football and talked to it whenever he thought they weren't looking… or whenever she thought they weren't looking? This thought warranted a question. "BMO?"

"Yes, Jake?"

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

"Well, you see-"

"What's for breakfast?" Finn interjected while running across the room for his green backpack.

"Oh, so you woke up?" Jake asked, faking an annoyed look. He continued with a squint in both eyes, "For you, Bacon Pancakes with Hazelnut Coffee."

Finn rolled into the kitchen and took the dish and a fork and knife. He slid into the chair, bumping BMO off his, or her, chair. BMO got up, rubbing his or her backside. "Ow!" he, or she, complained. Finn looked down, his face stuffed with pancake.

"Sorry BMO," he muttered, struggling to swallow.

BMO glared at him, before shrugging while climbing up the stool.

"So Jake, being a machine, I-"

"NO TIME LET'S GO!" Finn said, draining his mouth with coffee before taking Jake and BMO in each arm, marching through the room into the lowest level, the treasure hall. He pushed them out of the Tree-Fort before plucking his red sword and tucking it in his backpack. Jake waited for him, and gestured for Finn to jump on his back, as BMO had already done. When Finn hopped on with a "Yeah!" Jake stretched his size to be thirty times bigger, started to walk to the Candy Kingdom.

"Hey dude, why are you taking Dad's sword?" Jake asked when he noticed that there was no conversation taking place, filling the air with a depressing silence.

"Just in case," Finn answered, preoccupied with imagining what his first day of school would be like.

"Of what?" Jake continued.

"Well… you never know!" Finn protested.

Jake laughed silently at his next thought, which he voiced aloud. "You just want to impress some babes, don't you?" he said, wagging his tail in joy of his own cleverness.

"Dude, shut up!" Finn answered, blushing as BMO and Jake laughed. Finn joined them when he realized that his leg was being pulled as the three friends traveled to their new school.
