CHAPTER ONE
Rain, cold and unfeeling it doesn't have to worry about what it touches or who it effects. Winds cold and embracing, gripping the land of Ooo in its devastating and depressing hold these are just some of the thoughts plaguing Finn's mind. He just hasn't been the same since she left, his glowing ember gem the Flame Princess. He knew it would be a tough relationship when it started since he was just a human and she was an all-powerful fire elemental. He had finally grown used to the burning sensation of his lips pressed to hers, they were soft and tasted of smoke, but it always gave him that boost of fiery passion that he longed to share with her. Yet she left him after a year and a half of dating and adventuring together, she left him without a single word. Sure they hadn't made it very far on the list of fifteen Tiers that Jake told him about, they never really made it past the second Tier, but he thought that would be ok since they where almost incompatible together unless he was wrapped in tin foil or had a flame shield spell cast on him. He thought that their love could withstand it all, but he was wrong she quit, leaving him nothing but a note with poor handwriting since she always had to wear oven mitts before she touched paper. The very paper he held in his hands now, it was stained with his dry tears and crumpled from holding it the last two months since she disappeared from his life;
Dear Finn
You know that I love you and that you've made me realize that I am good and not evil, but this could never work because we are just to different for each other, I couldn't be with you without running the risk of hurting you. I'm sorry I dragged this out for so long but I thought being with you we could make it work, you are the hero of Ooo Fin, you deserve someone who can touch a flower without turning it ablaze. I hope that you can accept my feelings in this matter and let me know that we could still be friends.
Love, Flame Princess
That was is it, all he had left of her in this world and so he sat looking out the window at the seemingly endless downpour covering all he could see in Ooo. He had in fact gone to her after the first week after she dumped him and agreed to stay as friends though the meeting in itself brought painful memories to him causing him to make a hasty departure. His best friend and brother Jake had been by his side these last months but he had his own life to live with Lady Rainicorn which is where he was now, and so here Finn sat, though he wasn't entirely alone he had a small computer resting on his lap. "He needs to smile again" thought the little teal robot, her name is Beemo this little machine is a good friend of Finn and Jakes, usually this little computer would be happy and treasuring this moment being so close to Finn. Feelings she shouldn't even have rippled through the little machine sadness for her dear friend, wishing he would get out of this slump, and maybe notice the girl sitting in his lap at this very moment and admittedly jealousy wishing she had this affect on the human boy. Finn felt Beemo on his lap and though his sullen expression didn't show it he was happy that his little friend wouldn't leave him even if he hasn't been the most fun to be around these last two months, he looked to his clenched hands gazing at the paper that had sent him into this term of depression. His frown furrowed to the little not before crumpling into an unrecognizable ball before throwing it across the room into the corner, this little act alone brought the tiniest hints of a smile to the boys lips.
Finns sudden movement causes Beemo to look up to boys face just as he finished crumpling the paper and throwing it across the room, this brings a questionable look to the little bots face which Finn notices quickly causing his little smirk to blossom into a full-out smile. Beemo is about to question her friends sudden revelation when she feels his hands grip her sides, pulling her close to his chest. Now if Beemo had a heart it would have burst being this close to the boy she has felt so much for, slowly as to not seem overly excited she wraps her tiny arms around Finns chest closing her eyes trying to make this moment last forever. Finn holding his little friend tightly to his chest felt something he hasn't in some time happiness "Hey Beemo, do you want to get something to eat?" he questions the little bot "yes Finn that would be great" Beemo responds. As he is about to remove his friend who is still holding onto him, he feels her tiny hands clench harder just the tiniest amounts as to go unnoticed. Finn couldn't help the smile that hits his face as he does notice this though he does remove her he doesn't put her down, in fact he lifts the little bot over his head resting her on the back of his neck. Beemo now resting on the back of her human friends neck wraps her arms around his head and lets out the tiniest of sighs, content and happy that she could smile without Finn noticing how truly happy she was. Though as Finn starts to walk towards the kitchen he is suddenly blinded by an unknown darkness covering his eyes "Beemo look out" he cries running to protect his little friend from this unknown darkness only to come to a crashing stop, as he runs into the hard wooden wall of the house.
Beemo hearing Finns cry to look out opens her eyes to see what she was supposed to be looking out for to see nothing but a wall coming alarmingly fast towards the two of them, the resulting crash sends Beemo flying from her little spot upon Finn. She would have been mad if not for the sounds of Finn groaning from hitting the wall were coming from his direction. Finn sat up rubbing his forehead wondering why his vision had blacked out for a second until he looked to see his tiny robotic companion staring at him, it was then that he realized that it was Beemo's arms covering his eyes that made him panic. These thoughts caused him to start laughing at this little mishap, Beemo at first confused as to why he started laughing couldn't help but laugh herself at the ridiculousness of the situation. It was this that he realized he was missing just having regular fun with his friends "hey Beemo what time is it?" he asks the still giggling computer, Beemo stopping her laughing fit responds holding her tiny balled up fist to her human friend "sausage time?" the ask him hoping she guessed right. Finn rolls from his position quickly tapping his own fist to the bots "sausage time". Breakfast is Finns favorite meal of the day eggs, pancakes and sausages for today there is no one he would rather share it with than the little smiling computer sitting at the end of the table pretending to eat like Finn. Making the human boy chuckle to himself, then question he'd meant to ask recollected itself "Hey Beemo have you heard from PB or Marceline in the last little while?".
Beemo looking a little down by the question didn't stay that way for long, she piped up again with a smile answering "why yes Finn, Princess Bubble-gum dropped off a letter inviting you to a party tomorrow she would have given it to you herself but she knew you were still sad" upon hearing this Finn was happy that she still liked him enough to invite him to a party but was a little upset that she thought he wouldn't want to see her. Now knowing that PB was still ok he had to know about the vampire queen. "what about Marceline?" asked the young hero while looking down at his plate thinking that if Marceline had even cared she would have tried to knock him out of his funk a long time ago. Noticing Finns sudden drop in attitude the little bot spoke up "Marceline was here a couple times, she would watch you for a while you were at the window she told me to tell you to go meet her whenever you came out of your funk" she added with a smile. That was exactly what he needed to hear if his friends missed him then he had no right to be depressed, he stood on the table throwing his hands into the air "I'm gonna go wash my pits then its off to Marceline's house" he cried before jumping off the table and making a dash for the tree house's ladder which led to the washroom.
Beemo made sure to hold her smile till Finn left her sight before letting out a small depressed sigh "he will never notice Beemo while he has ladies with fleshy lumps all over Ooo" resting her screen on her hands she looked to the table at the uneaten food 'Beemo cant even eat, Beemo not even really alive' little pixels of tears started falling down her screen. Finn felt the warm water wash over his body the heat from the water releasing the tension out of his muscles from sitting by the window day after day, it wasn't till he had stripped of his clothes did he realize how filthy he was, sweat stains marked the underarms of his shirt and he was thankful that his friends hadn't stopped by to see how poorly he was taking care of himself. Stepping out of the warming embrace of the shower the young teen see's himself in the mirror for the first time since the breakup, his blonde hair had grown out a bit hanging over his ears and just touching his shoulders in the back. He gave it a quick comb through before redressing in an exact copy of the clothes he was just wearing, one quick look in the mirror later he slips on his signature demon bear hat and rushes back to the ladder leading to were a still crying Beemo awaited.
