Finn, now eighteen and matured, with Jake, walked to Marceline the Vampire Queen's cave on a calm day.
"Kinda weird how we didn't have to beat up monsters or evil or anything today," Jake exclaimed.
"Well Ice King and Ice Queen had to go on a family reunion for a week and plus it's Evil Hibernation month," Finn said. "Oh yeah," Jake said.
After a couple minutes of silence, Jake spoke up, "Didn't we have a jam session with Marcie two days ago?" "No, dude, that was two weeks ago." Finn replied.
"Fine but that girl still gives me the willies. I'm just gonna drop you off and see if I can crash an Ice Cream Marathon." "But you already entered for one that's today." Finn protested.
"Exactly, man! Two Ice Cream Marathons in one day!" Finn rolled his eyes as they reached Marceline's door. "Are you sure you don't wanna jam with us?" Finn asked.
"Nah, I'm good. I'll leave you two alone. But you better not do anything…inappropriate." "What kind of inappropriate?" questioned Finn. "You know…tier 15."
Finn blushed. "Dude! Me and Marceline would not do something like that! We're just friends!"
Jake snorted, "Yeah…with benefits." "DUDE!" Finn's face went redder now.
"Sorry, bro, you're right. You and Marcie are old enough for things like that." "You have a sick mind, Jake."
"It's not like you're not looking forward to it. Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, Fives, and everybody else knows you have a crush on Marceline that can turn into something more…"
"Stop talking about that crap! And I don't have a crush on Marcy!"
"Relax, homie. I'm there for you. You've got my full support. You know Lady and I did it. And look at where we ended up. But just make sure you use a co-"
"JAKE!"
"What?"
Finn grunted in annoyance as they reached Marceline's door.
"Hey, Marcy, it's us. Finn and Jake." Finn called as he knocked on the door. After no replies, Finn knocked on the door a fourth time.
"She probably went grocery shopping…for some certain type of toys…"
"Shut up!"
"I'm just suggesting!"
"She can't be shopping, Jake. She always leaves a note for us. Something's up. I think Marcy's in trouble, dude!"
"Then let's bust this door open!" Jake shouted as he stretched his fist to the size of an orgre's head.
"No, wai-"
CRACK!
The door tumbled to the floor, broken in half.
"Marceline's gonna be ticked, Jake. Imagine how much we'll have to pay!"
"Dude you do know like at least 45% of our house is filled with gold right?" Jake asked him concerned.
Finn ignored his comment as he stared at the destroyed house. The couch was torn and broken in half. The walls had holes in them the size of Jake's head, the windows were shattered and there was a small fire in the middle of the floor.
"Oh my Glob! What the gloop happened here?!" the human shouted in shock.
"Marcie probably went mad since she didn't see you for so long," Jake guessed ridiculously only to be punched on the arm by Finn.
They went into the kitchen and it wasn't any better. Table was in pieces, the counter and drawers looked like they were caught on fire, and the sink was gone. Finn found a burnt note and a gray map on Marceline's now half melted refrigerator.
It read:
If you ever want to see the Vampire Queen again, use the map to follow her to her location and all your questions will be answered…maybe.
"Jake, you know what this means?!" asked Finn anxiously. "That someone was jealous of you and Marceline and was leading you into a trap so they could kill you and have Marceline all to themselves?"
"No, you butt. It means there's some lunatic out there who must know everyone we care about and wants to get us out of the picture so they can spread evil around Ooo!"
"I like my version better," Jake pouted as he crossed his arms. "But there's also one more thing added to that," Finn grinned as he waved the map in front of Jake's face.
The magical dog grinned as well and fist bumped his adoptive brother.
"It's Searchin' Time!" they yelled in unison.
