Chapter 1: Last one?
_XxXLandOfOooXxX_
Normal POV
The land of Ooo is prosperous; evil had almost all but diminished as the years went on. There were few and far in between-those evils that used to plague the land, skies and even oceans… Of course…they didn't just disappear overnight- no of course not! When some creature asked what time it was, well…there was only one real answer to that…ADVENTURE TIME!
At this exact moment, that's exactly what was going on…or so I'm sure you're all hoping for anyways!
"Yo Finn!" a golden dog yelled out,
"Yha buddy?" A *15 year old* boy with a bear-slip on hat asked,
"I'm bored man! There's almost nothing to do anymore!" the dog whined out from his lax position on the couch.
"I know…" the boy sighed sadly-almost longingly. "We've gotten almost every Evil thing out there…guess…maybe it's time-"
"For Adventure?!" the dog yelled out excitedly, 'wow…that's new.' The boy thought to himself, he's not acting…Lazy...
"Uh…no Jake, I-I hate to be the one to say this because I live for adventure and all…but-I…" 'I just don't know if I can say this…' he thought sadly 'this is-was my life…I-'
"Huh?" the boy said distractedly, looking down to see a long gold stretchy paw poking him on the side of his head.
"Dude? Finn? You ah…kinda spaced out on me there…you were saying?" a look of panic flashed on the boy's face, now known as Finn, for a brief moment before he squashed it down, placing a small smile on his face he answered-to the best of his ability- jakes question.
"R-right…" taking a deep breath he almost said the words to quickly to be understood by his friend/brother, who even though they both know he heard them right had yet to sink into his brain all the way. The boy paused, realizing that any further words he had been about to say would probably have gone way over the dog's head at the moment.

Jake- POV
'Finn's lost it!' I thought to myself, 'gone off the deep end in that ocean phobia he has!' 'Nooo…maybe I-maybe I didn't hear him right…' I looked up briefly to see Finn's face, he looked worried, maybe hoping that I hadn't heard him…too bad it looks like I had…I sat there for some seconds trying to figure things out properly, until I realized the graveness of this situation…I just couldn't help how loud what I said next came out,
"YOU WANT TO WHAT?!" I yelled out, and almost regretted it the moment I said-er-shouted it, as Finn cringed away from his position on the floor at the sheer volume of my shout...or more like banshee scream, if you've ever heard one...then you'd know.
"O-ow…J-Jake man…you-" I was about to apologize, until he finished his sentence that is…
"You scream like a girl!" he laughed out while point a finger at me with one hand, while the other was stuffed into where his ear would be…if not for the hat that is. Meanwhile, I-CLEARLY was not happy about the fact that I had just been called a girl, though…that was a given seeing as how I'm pretty sure my right eyebrow was twitching along with the tick mark I'm sure is on my brow. (Now I'm defiantly not 'regretting' that shout!)
"You done bro?" I sighed out, 'Is Finn really considering doing this?' I thought, 'I know it's been awhile…and there really isn't much to do when it comes to adventuring and fighting evil…but…really reti-'
"Hey buddy?" I heard him ask. Sighing very quietly so as to not let Finn know just how really troubled I was by this decision. Instead, I opted to turn and face Finn, after all…it was his decision to make- **when our mom and dad told me to look after Finn…I took that to heart.**
Finn POV
'He-he's in shook…that has to be it!' Finn thought to himself, 'I tried to lighten up the situation but-but now it just looks like a made it worse!' I sighed mentally, 'I'm pretty sure he thinks this is a crazy decision! But in all reality…I've been meaning to tell him for the last month…playing games on BMO can only last so long…'
Normal POV
The two- both human and dog alike sat in silence it their living space, both contemplating what to say, and on how to break the silence that had descended upon the room. The boy-Finn had a look that was beginning to board too close on to panic, while the dog stared off into space. Of course it could always just be Jake being Jake, but considering the situation…that simply could not be it, finally Jake had turned to the boy and looked at him, awaiting his next words patiently, so unlike him...
"L-look Jake, I-" He almost started to cry, Jake was shaking his head left to right again and again. 'I knew it…' the boy thought solemnly, 'he doesn't even want to know what I was going to finish saying…and I hardly even started!'
"Finn…look, I'm like older then you…so…yhaaa…but if you want to…I won't say no." the dog then looked to the ceiling for a brief moment before looking down and sighing. 'If this is what he wants…'
Taking a deep breath, Finn decided to look Jake straight in the eyes before he finally said it, aloud, with purpose and no hesitation.
***"Jake, I think it's time we retire."***

(XD I was going to just end it there for now…but eh (shrugs) what-the-hey? Let's see where this is going to lead ne?)
Jake POV
I stared at him, I'm sure the shock is completely on my face, and I'm sure head see it. But he looked down almost instantly right after he had said it…I- I just couldn't, probably wouldn't believe it…if I hadn't already heard and seen it with my own eyes…my brain - which was still trying to understand almost went completely on auto pilot, and my next thought proved it.
'H-he's serious?...I guess, I really should have seen it coming…Finn's been all wired around me- (and everyone) come to think of it for a while now…'
'I guess I could go and move in with Lady now, since there's going to be a shortage of AT time…' "I wonder what Finn will say about me movin' out?' Sighing I just couldn't help but feel even just slightly sad because of this… Now don't get me wrong! I'll always support Finn and his crazy ideas, always going on about who to save, and which 'evil' dude needed an old fashion butt kicking…but…it hurt-it hurt to think he's probably been thinking of this for a while now and never decided to clue me in, were bros! Best buds! Brothers even, why would he not tell me?' I kinda actually felt like crying…
Finn POV
We both sat there, in silence-again. But this time it wasn't so oppressive-I guess you could say it was more…What was the word PG used sometimes…? ****Contiplat? Noo…Contamplates? Shaking my head I thought a little more… Contemplative? …Yha… that was it…Man have I come a looong way since one-two years ago****…Back then, I would have just rushed into things-ah-situations without really thinking it through all the way. Now though, I can at least see different ways on how to solve certain situations. It was nice really…being able to make better decisions or not get 'beat up so much' because I was too dumb to realize what was sometimes staring me right in the face…and even though I learned a lot of it only last year and a little before then… when it comes in terms of "thinking ahead" I've begun to do that more often now than not, especially this last year! Some of the last 'Evil' dudes Jake and I fought…man those were mathematical! But that was beside the point, really- When I start thinking about it…I have to restrain myself from face palming right now and almost every other time I think about it! I-I could have done so many things differently if I-if I had just- …just thought ahead… yah…I-I guess I should have…well…I'm not one to stay on the past, especially right now that Jake seems so quite…as a matter of fact… he hasn't made a noise… glancing at him through the fringe of my hat I could see that Jake looked like he has something to say… I guess…I better let him say what he wants…he'll blow up if I don't, I just know it.
Normal POV
Taking a deep breath, which might not have been the smartest of ideas at the moment since it was too deep, Jake ended up expanding like a balloon before after a couple of seconds he let it out all in on one go and created a miniature gust inside the room. Once everything had settled down again, Jake looked calmer, but when you looked closer, he was slightly clenching and unclenching his left paw- the one facing away from Finn. This was probably in an attempted to show that he was calm, and probably so he wouldn't freak Finn out more than he was letting on. Jake took a smaller breath this time-just to calm himself down some, and instead gritted out one single word, and that word both confused and saddened Finn, and that word was –
"Why?"
"Eh?" Finn questioned back, "Why…What?"
Gritting his teeth together Jake almost barked it out, "Why didn't you tell me before? Don't you…trust me Finn?" Shocked he answered back,
"W-what? O-of course not!-" and he cringed at how that came out, just looking at Jake he could see that almost instantly his eyes turn into big watery puddles, before anything could get more out of hand, he quickly finished what his sentence,
"What I was going to say was 'of course NOT-I always trust you!', and it wasn't YOU I didn't trust…it was-it was me…I didn't trust myself to say it right an-and not somehow-(sniff) and not-" Finn stopped when he felt the comfort of pats on his back,
"There, there Finn… I thought that maybe you just didn't trust me man…It's cool though….you were just ah-"
"-Thinking ahead?" Finn finished weakly as he started to smile,
"Yha man, thinking ahead…" Jake's eyes gave a mischievous glint before he added in "Not that you "Think Ahead" often, seeing as you barely 'think' as it is!" he burst out laughing while Finn stared at him mouth agape, much like how a fish would without water.
"Yo man! Not cool!" Finn laughed and talked his brother off the couch and onto the floor,
"We're on equal ground now man! No going back!" Finn laughed as he and Jake began to wrestle playfully.
_XxXLandOfOoo-NightXxX_
It was night out in the land of Ooo, and we now see Finn in his typical sleeping bag and Jake already in his sleeping space/bed. The night was fresh, and so they had decided to leave the window open this time around letting in a refreshing end of Summer breeze. The full moon's light filtered in threw the window bouncing off the many random objects scattered about the floor, and walls. Finn was staring up at the celling in wonder. He thought of how the day had gone after the 'wrestling match' he and Jake had had… it was…complicated, that was for sure, once they were both out of breath and panting, he had crawled over and had sat down by the couch again leaning his back against it and had tucked in his legs to his chest while leaning his head on his arms that were wrapped around them. Jake being Jake had not even bothered to go to the couch, having felt no need to stretch much less get up and walk at all, so he simply stayed collapsed on the floor in his usual lazy inspired manner. Finn laughed quietly to himself in the moonlit room, having remembered what he and Jake were going to do tomorrow…
~Flashback~
"(Pant) Hey…(Pant) Man?" Finn asked his 'apparently' K.O'd opponent,
"Yha…man?" the other grunted,
"I was wondering…"
"Yha?"
Have you ever wondered what was on the other side of the Ice King's mountain?"
"EEEEH!?" Finn chuckled from where his head was at, he could just imagine Jake's eyes almost popping out of his head!
"Jeez bro, what brought this on?" Jake asked rather shocked, who wouldn't be? After all… if he had just said what he thought he said-
"How bout' one more adventure…Eh Jake?" Finn looked up from his arms and grinned, Jake stopped himself from straight out laughing at the irony! 'That's the Finn I know even before retiring…he just has to go on one more Adventure.' Jake thought a little bemused, making up his mind quickly and grinning back towards Finn at the same time, he couldn't help but agree. One more adventure didn't sound all too bad, and they never really have gone past that giant hulking ice mountain Ice King called his home…seems he found his answer,
"YHA dude, Why not?!"
~FlashbackEnd~
Finn sighed quietly, (he didn't want to wake Jake after all,) if things kept going the way they were…well he defiantly wasn't complaining. After all, not everyone had talking, stretchy, transforming dogs for a family, and not everyone could say they had saved countless of princess…*****and the occasional prince…*****But that was getting of track. Tomorrow...Jake said that he would go to ******PB and Mar-Mar's place****** and let them know where they were going, (so she and everyone else wouldn't worry too much.) while Jake did that, he would pack some equipment, After all, just because Jake said he doesn't 'think' doesn't mean he-well, doesn't…Yha…tomorrow is defiantly going to be a great day!
C: READ ME NOTICE! C:
Well here's chapter one of "Desolate World" things to keep in mind! (Other than the fact that anyone who reads this fic is going to need an open mind XD) this is just the prologue to what is going to be a story with more than 5 chapters! -I can Promise you that!-
Next chapter is going to switch over so DUN DUN DUUNNN Past Simon and Marcy's POV, that's right! I totally said-er wrote it! Things will start to pick up more on chapter 3 or 4! (because I think I'm going to make 3 a list of stuff Finn has on him, TRUST ME ON THIS, what he has will be relevant to the story later on, and I occasionally get really lazy, so I'll be demand (which hopefully I'm not) if I forget what Finn's supposed to or not supposed to have, and then for it to "magically" appear with Finn when he didn't have it.
*I made Finn 15 because I did some research and this whole series starts out when he's 11 (if the information I got was right anyways-and if it's not…WELL NOW IT IS MUWAHAHAHAHAAAA!...er…moving on…) so I'm giving the Cannon Finn 2-3 years for all the adventuring he does, before he FINALLY starts to mature mentally.
**Remember everyone; (Chibi Simon with ruler points at family tree of Jake) Jake's mom and dad are basically Finn's mom and dad, because he was (in a sense) adopted by the two and was raised by them, Finn's basically family!
***I thought this would add a (ahem) TWIST to the normal AT fanfic's! Hopefully everyone else thinks so too! And also because seriously?! After like 4 years of constantly battling, escaping, almost dyeing and all that rescuing is bound to tire him out…though the whole point in this basically because 'Evil' creature are almost none…
****The last part of this sentence is basically stating that Finn has (literally) matured in more ways than one, I mean, after everything he's seen and done, who wouldn't? And Finn being-Finn he thought that knowing how to read those "Ancient tomes" (which is basically just a book from back then…) would be a better help to him then having to constantly go back and forth between PB's kingdom and wherever Finn has decided to explore. Saves time for Adventuring, no?
Second to this is the first part of the sentence. Basically just states that he's been studying for 1-2 years with PB, but that doesn't mean that almost all of Finn's life (from found to now) can be gone "Just like that". No it takes time, and even though he's waay smarter than he was back then sometimes hell just-lapse- right back to before, but that will be very rarely! :D
*****Remember people! OPEN MIND! And before anyone starts going all 'eeewww' there isn't going to be any prince's in this later, or too much princess's either for that matter…
******This is actually relevant later in the story sooo remember it, if anyone knows/thinks they know how to go reeeal deep into foreshadowing, well there's you're chance! (Tell me through review and I'll tell you if your right, wrong, close or you just need a new job cuz' brooo you just seriously suck! (Naw! I'm just messin' with ya! (^0^,,)…MOSTLY (O_O)
