Chapter 1
"Ouch," exclaimed Finn as he pulled away from his newly acquired girlfriend, Flame Princess, "that really hurt!" "Sorry Finn!" said Flame Princess as she jerked away from him guiltily. For some time now they had worked with Princess Bubblegum on several experiments to allow them to be together and touch with out Finn being burnt to a crisp. "Hmm…so this potion was also ineffective…" muttered Princess Bubblegum, hand moving rapidly as she jotted down notes on her clip board. "I'll return to the lab tomorrow, and see what else I can try. This is truly the predicament! In the meantime, I have a date with Marcy." As she said this, her already rosy pink cheeks began to darken in a blush and she left the troubled couple to communicate on the situation.
Finn laid flat on the grass beneath him and let out a loud sigh. "FP, do you know how much I care about you, and want to hug you? To kiss you? It's a little frustrating not being able to actually show you how much I care for you…" Flame Princess stared into Finn's eyes and laid beside him on the grass, cautious not to singe the ground too much. She grabbed his hand with the utmost care, only for him to jerk it away a moment later, with a pained, remorseful look on his face. "…I like you a lot Finn, and care about you too. I wish I knew how your skin felt besides the seconds you can bear without me hurting you-"Flame Princess began to choke up, a lump beginning to form in her throat and magma slowly working its way from her eyes. She knew she was no good with showing emotions. She began to think, "Oh, well why does he want to touch me so much anyway? Does he only want me for my body?! Maybe the only frustration he's feeling is sexual frustration!" Flame Princess leapt up from where she was laying, body ablaze. "OH, SO THAT'S IT, HUH? YOU ONLY WANT ME FOR MY BODY? MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU, FINN THE HUMAN!" Finn leapt up, in disbelief and confusion on what his fiery girlfriend had just said, "FP, how could you think that?! You should know how I feel about you!" By this time a quarter of the forest was set ablaze and on the horizon a stretchy yellow body could be seen-Jake. "He must've come to our rescue." Finn thought. Flame Princess caught a glimpse of fear in Finn's eyes as he saw the flames surround him and consume the trees, and fled to her home, the Fire Kingdom.
"So you and FP are in some hot water, huh?" asked Jake. "'Ya' know, when me and Lady aren't so hot, I always play the viola or do some romantical stuff with her, ever tried that?" But Finn wasn't in the mood to talk, he felt bad about how he came across during the conversation with Flame Princess. "Glob, she probably thinks I'm a pig or something for bringing up not being able to touch her so much it's not her fault… Maybe I'll bring it up to PB tomorrow, she'll know what to do." The thought of Princess Bubblegum brought a sense of security and knowledge to Finn's being… and maybe still a few other things. Jake interrupted Finn's thoughts, "Gee, I wonder how PB and Marcy are doin' hangin' out and junk…"
