The Rainicorn Saga
(A/N: I'm a little surprised there aren't that many fics around here that involves Jake and Lady Rainicorn's kids. After I watched the episode "Jake the Dad" I was pretty amazed at what they could do. Since I'm such a huge fan of Lady and her kids I decided to write a fic that involved them as to dwell within their relationship with their new uncle and Lady with her new brother in law)
The Sun was setting as Finn and Jake were laughing together as they came home from their latest adventure in the Water Kingdom. There they had fought random monsters in random dungeons to get more random treasure to add to their already impressive collection.
"Heheheh , that was awesome dude." Finn laughed holding a bag of their collected goods. "Did you see the way we beat that underwater sea-demon?" He asked his friend.
"Heck yeah I did, man we totally pwned him!" Jake agreed with his best brother.
Finn took out a gold coin and started to flip it up and down into his hands like a cool guy. "It's a good thing Aqua Princess let us keep the treasure, Now we won't have to worry about the taxes PB always asks us for." the human said.
Jake put on a confused face. "Wait we pay taxes to PB?" he asked peering down at his own bag of treasures.
"Yeah dude she always comes by once a week to get some of our treasure. She says its property tax or some other jazz like that. "Finn said looking back.
Jake turned his face from his bag to Finn. "Uh Princess Bubblegum can't take taxes from us...The Grasslands isn't even in her dominion." Jake explained.
"Oh, what!?" Finn said a little shocked. "You mean PB just steals from us?"
"Im afraid so bro." Jake replied. "I think next time we should just lock her out so she can't get her hands on our treasure!" He said
Finn frowned slightly at the thought of having to lock her out of his house. It seemed rude to lock out a princess. "Ok then." Finn agreed as the neared the door to their Tree Fort.
The duo entered the safety of their home pouring down their bags of gold and jewels into their already huge collection, the noise of clinking metal filled the room. After they had finished making their deposit Finn then smiled at the collection.
"Man look at how much stuff we got!" Finn said excitedly. "I bet we could buy out the whole Candy Kingdom with this much treasure" He grabbed a handful of gold and threw it up in the air only for the gold to come back down like rain.
"Yeah maybe we could do that." Jake said going up the ladder which led to their bedroom. Finn followed suit.
Jake then looked at his nightstand which had a few pictures on them; one of them had Finn and Jake bro-fisting each other, there was a second picture with Jake and his mate; Lady Rainicorn, The third and last picture which was in the middle had Jake, Lady Rainicorn and their kids all huddled up in the middle.
Jake smiled at the picture of his family and thought it would be a good idea to visit them first thing tomorrow morning.
"Hey how are your kids doing?" Finn asked snapping Jake out of his train of thought which he rarely had.
"Oh they're doing just fine." Jake replied.
Finn looked at the picture that contained the Rainidogs.
"Man your kids sure do grow up fast, I figured they would've stayed small for a few months but only after a few days!? That's pretty math!" Finn admitted.
"Yep, I love seeing my kids all grown up. It makes me feel accomplished." Jake said smiling as a tear formed in his eye. He looked over to see his prism-gram glowing which meant there was a new message.
As Jake walked over to get it, Finn thought of something. "You know, we should all go on an adventure one day; Imagine it man just me, you, the pups and maybe Lady if she wanted to." The thought of such an event thrilled him. "Oh man that would be so rhombus!"
Jake had mixed opinions of the idea. Sure his kids could defend themselves if need be, but something tugged at him to refuse them the right to go adventuring. It just seemed too dangerous. Besides, Lady Rainicorn probably wouldn't allow it anyway.
"Hmmmm maybe." Jake said undecided as he picked up his prism-gram.
The glowing crystal then suddenly shot a beam of energy at Jake's head. Information suddenly filled his mind even though it left a small burning sensation on his head.
"What does it say?" Finn questioned curiously.
"It's a message from Lady's parents." Jake replied. "They said they're coming to visit the kids for the first time." He added putting.
"Oh" Finn said flinching a bit at the mention of her parents.
Lady's dad: Bob Rainicorn and her mom: Ethel Rainicorn was both really good folks when you got to know them. He remembered the time Jake tried to impress them when they first came to Ooo. They had attempted to eat Finn but the human shrugged that thought off as he also remembered everything was all forgiven that day.
"So why haven't they came to see the kids before? I mean it's been like a month since they were born." Finn asked.
Jake shrugged. "I don't know something about the Crystal Dimension not being proportionate with Ooo so they couldn't come over at the time." Jake explained vaguely as it was a little too science-y for his taste.
Another beam of energy came into the Tree Fort and right towards the prism-gram Jake was holding making a loud 'KATANG' noise. The prism-gram now glowed a rainbow of colors.
"Whoa, what does it say now?" Finn asked a bit impatiently.
"Hold on it's still converting the color waves into brain waves." Jake said holding the glowing gem in his paws.
The prism-gram then suddenly shot another beam of energy towards Jakes head.
"Oww!" Jake mumbled in small pain as it left a small burnt mark on his face. He absorbed the information within his brain.
"Oh looks like Lady got the same message we did." Jake said. "Looks like they're going to put together a small family reunion tomorrow between all of them."
"Oh sweet!" Finn exclaimed. Excited and pumped by the news. "We should totally go to that thing!" He said excited he'd get to see the whole family together for the first time.
Jake looked a little less enthusiastic not about the news from the prism-gram, but Finn's reaction. "Oh…..You want to come too Finn?" He asked putting down the prism-gram back on his night-stand.
Finn stared at Jake. "Of course I want to go! What are you not going to the reunion?"
"No I'm going to it for sure, I just wasn't sure you'd want to go." Jake said a bit hesitantly
Finn face was now erased of his previous enthusiasm and was now replaced with confusion. "What the junk?! Why wouldn't I want to go to the reunion, I'm the uncle aren't I?" Finn asked Jake raised his arms up defensively
"Yeah but you see…the thing is that Lady's parents apparently lost their translators so you won't be able to understand them , Lady Rainicorn and the kids know a little English, but they aren't that fluent in it." Jake explained. "So basically you wouldn't be able to understand most of the things they'll talk about."
Finn face looked a little hurt. "But you understand them….couldn't you just you know translate for me?" Finn said his voice grew softer.
Jake rubbed his head for a second. "I dunno man, I mean I don't mind translating Rainicorn for you from time to time but this thing is gonna last the whole day. I don't feel like translating for you the whole day."
"On second thought...maybe you shouldn't go." Jake said unaware of how much he hurt Finn emotionally.
"Oh…ok then." Finn said softly as he walked out of the Tree Fort. That pesky language barrier was all that really stood between him and his extended family.
Jake suddenly realized what he just said feeling sympathy for his brother, he immediately attempted to comfort him.
"Hey man I didn't mean that, of course you can come to the reunion with me." Jake said putting a paw on Finn's shoulder. He smiled hoping to brighten up Finn's mood.
Finn however shook his head in disagreement. "No Jake you were right." He said sadly. "What's the point in going when I went even understand 99% of the stuff everybody's going to talk about?"
He shrugged Jake's paw off his shoulder.
"No Finn!" Jake said grabbing Finn and pulled him so they were face to face. "Listen man your part of the family too which means you're just as important as the rest of us."
"Look ill even do my best to translate all I can for you ok?" Jake grabbed Finn by the shoulders and hugged him for a quick second before pushing him away." Now will you go?" He asked
Finn finally brightened up to his brother. "Yeah dude I'll go…..thanks." he said with gratitude.
Jake released him from his grip "Yes!" he sighed at the success of convincing Finn to come.
"Alright let's go ahead and get us some sleep for the big day tomorrow!"" He announced walking back into the Tree Fort with Jake following suit.
"Yeah it's Sleepin Time" Jake agreed wanting to sleep more than anything right now.
As the two brothers were in bed Jake had fallen asleep almost instantaneously while Finn remained awake but silent. He just couldn't fall asleep; instead he just looked at the pictures of Jake and his family.
Finn was really grateful that Jake would be his own personal translator but he felt like he would be a burden on him. It would suck being the person who had to repeat everything that was said and Finn knew that. Which was why he still felt bad.
The human sighed before he yawned. "I wish I could speak Rainicorn." He muttered before lying down on his bed.
Seconds later he started to snore and all was silent in the Tree Fort. Unknown to its residence though was a pair of eyes that had stared at the human boy for quite some time. Those eyes belonged to the nefarious Magic Man.
Magic Man was known for causing small havoc within Ooo. Using his magical powers he often pranked its inhabitants by altering them usually by physical appearance and all hated him for it. But Magic Man still found fun to prank the unsuspected.
He started to chuckled gleefully before he muttered something.
"Magic! Magic is what I require...Give this this boy what he really desires." He chanted motioning his hands in a weird pattern.
He continued to repeat his chant as a white mist appeared from his hands. The weird mist surrounded Finn as He slept not waking up at all. The mist stopped generating from Magic Man's hands and now Finn was completely enveloped within the cloud of magic. The mist then started to absorb itself into Finn's body leaving no trace of the magic anywhere.
Magic Man peered down at the human boy and smiled as Finn's body started to glow faintly.
"Enjoy your new gift Finn the 'human'!." He said gleefully chuckling. He waved goodbye as if Finn weren't asleep. Afterwards he turned around and then disappeared with a flash of light.
Finn's body was no longer faintly glowing white after Magic Man left. Instead his body brightly glowed several different colors almost like a rainbow. Finn felt a little awkward but he didn't awaken. Instead he tossed and turned to a more comfortable position ignoring the fact his body was going through its weird metamorphosis. Finn muttered something that wasn't even in English anymore.
