"Finn!" I say as I see a bear-hatted boy.
He is sitting on the top of the hill, looking at the sunrise and writing something. Exactly like when I tried to talk to him about Flame Princess's instability. This time around, I have something big to talk about too. But it's not as serious or sad or dramatic as before. And hopefully, it can be happy.
Finn looks up,
"Oh, hey Peebles!" he says smiling.
"Hello!" I say cheerfully, "Are you writing another poem for Flame Princess?" I tease.
He blushes,
"Maybe."
"So Finn," I start, "I'm here today to talk about love."
Finn looks uncertain, "Ok…"
"Happy love, not sad love." I reassure him.
He relaxes,
"Cool. So, whadaya wanna talk 'bout?"
"Well first," I say a little nervously, "I think I should explain something."
"What?" he says.
"Um, do you know what Teir 15 is?" I ask.
"Nah," he says, "Jake tried to explain that junk to me, but I didn't understand."
I gulp,
"Tier 15 means sex, and sex is-"
"Whoa!" he interrupts, "I know what that is. I just didn't know that's what Tier 15 meant."
I sigh of relief,
"Good. So Jake's explained all that to you?"
"Uh, no" he laughs, "I found this book called "The Facts of Life". Jake still doesn't know I know."
"Okay," I say, "So now I can get to what I really wanted to talk about."
"What's that?" Finn asks.
I pause, then I get the courage to say,
"Me and Marceline love each other."
At first Finn looks confused, but then he says,
"Awesome! It's really cool that you two are best buds."
"Uh, that's not exactly what I meant." I say.
"Whadaya mean?" he says, "I love Jake, I love you, I love Marceline-"
"I mean I love her the way you love Flame Princess" I say.
He doesn't understand,
"B-but you guys are both g-girls." he stutters.
"Yes," I say, "And two girls can love each other that way, and so can two boys."
"Then how come I never see them kissing and junk, and how come nobody talks about it?" he asks.
"Because some people think its odd," I say, "And some people even think its wrong."
"Oh." he says.
"But I think love is love, don't you?" I ask.
"Totally!" he says happily, "I mean, if you and Marci are happy, that's all that matters, right?"
"Yes!" I say, "And I'm glad you understand."
Just then Marci comes rustling through a bush.
"Hey babe," she says, but then she sees Finn and stops.
"I uh- I meant-" she tries to explain,
"It's cool." Finn says, "Pb just explained that you two are in love and stuff."
Marci looks shocked,
"Oh, uh, cool." she says.
"Well, I'm gonna go hang with Flame Princess, later, you lovebirds.", and then Finn leaves.
"So you told him?" she asks me.
"Yep."
"And he was cool with it?"
"Yep."
Marci grins, letting her fangs show,
"Cool."
