Hey there!
Thanks to you awesome reviewers, I managed to finish the next chapter :D

Have fun :3
Again, characters (c) Pendleton Ward
Around us grass was swaying in the warm breeze, the sun was golden and bright at the zenith. At the edge of the field there was a forest with pink fluffy stuff on its trees instead of leaves – the Candy Cotton Forest. Near the horizon you could already see the wall to the Candy Kingdom.
Somewhere a bird sang in a high-pitched voice which sounded like laughter to me.
Ok, I have to correct myself – it wasn't a whole new world...but partly new?
„Isn't this our Tree Fort over there?" , Jake asked beside me as he turned around to get a better view over the landscape and pointed to a giant Tree which looked exactly like our home just a few hills away.
Ok,ok, it was the same old place.
„Are you fucking kiddin' me?!" , I screamed and fell to my knees, my face covered with my hands. „I thought this shitty portal would take us to some crazy universe with...you know...monsters to kill, things to be adventured. But it only took us a few miles further to our home!"
Again, I started to cry, but bit hardly on my lips to stop the tears from falling. I didn't want to look like a whiny baby again.
„C'mon, Finn. Looks like someone tricked us...but maybe we can play some BMO at home, make everything-burrito and just have some fun? I told Lady I'd be back in a week, so we have seven days to adventure and stuff! Doesn't this sound cool?" , Jake tried to cheer me up and patted my back.
„Yeah...great." , I mumbled and got to my feet. The next heartbeat Jake the little dog was a giant yellow horse-dog with legs as tall as trees, his eyes sparkling with joy as he lifted me on his back. The slow movement under my legs calmed me down a bit but didn't ease the pain of being stuck in Ooo with all its stupid inhabitants and all my worries.
„Here we go, buddy." , Jake cheered as he jumped off in the direction of the Tree House, singing some stuff about Burritos and video games. His happy mood didn't touch my heart like it usually did, though. It was like something kept reminding me I'd be alone again in a week when Jake would get back to his adult-duties.
Stretching back to his normal dog size, Jake came to a halt before he opened the door and sniffed, muzzle in the air.
„What is it this time again?" , I mumbled in annoyance since he did this nearly every day he visited me after he spent a week at Ladys'. Last time it smelled like the witch I once gave my hair to stop her from sitting on him. Another day he told me it was the Lich itself or Marceline hiding in the fridge. Stupid dog.
However, I smiled at the thought of Jake avoiding the fridge with his beloved spaghetti until he finally was brave enough to peek through the door. It ended with him screaming as the light turned on, hiding under the sofa.
„Cat. There's a cat in our house!" , he claimed and crossed his arms on his chest, insisting on his statement.
„Jaaake. Cut it off. There. Is. Nothing. In. Our. House! Stop telling this nonsense just because you visit your real home far too infrequent. Remember when you thought it was Marceline and didn't eat your dinner because of it?"
„This was ages ago! Finn, believe me. This time I'm right for sure." , the dog wailed looking at me with his cute huge eyes.
„Fine." , I sighed and opened the door carefully. „It looks pretty the same as always, though."
„You have to go in there. Glob knows where this beast is hiding."
I shot him a furious glare but entered the room, looking in every corner and under everything a cat would fit in. Everything I found was a pile of dust flakes, lost pizza pieces and a few socks; not even BMO was to be seen.
„Believe me now? I'm gonna take a shower, you make dinner?" , I suggested 'cause my belly already started to growl. „Honestly, I'm starving. Everything-burrito with everything, please?" Forgetting my disappointment from earlier this day, I was starting to cheer up and was ready to enjoy the time I'd spend with my buddy.
„Sure. It'll be ready in half an hour." , Jake smiled and started to search through the fridge. „Where did I put the bacon again...?"
I laughed quietly and made my way upstairs to the bathroom and threw my backpack into the bedroom as I walked by. The fact the door was closed should have made me suspicious itself, but Glob knows why I didn't bother. So, thinking of nothing, I just opened it.
What I found myself looking at made me blush furiously and my brain stopped working when I needed it most. So I stood there, staring wide-eyed at the girl in the front of me and searching for words.
She obviously had just taken a shower since she was standing there (thank Glob!) with her skirt on, covering her head in a white towel, trying to get it dried. Her shirt was missing, though, what made my blush even more.
„Cake? Is that you? Didn't I tell you to knock if you-" , she said as she turned around, staring at me in dismay. Quickly she tried to cover her bra with her hands but, well, didn't succeed. She also blushed but shot me a furious glance.
„What the fuck dude?! Coming in my house and watching me, eh? You-you pervert! Stop staring at me!" , she yelled as I still stared at her, unable to think.
„I-I..." , I stammered, my head as red as Tree Trunks apples. „I'm sorry! But, excuse me Miss, you're in my house and didn't expect you to be here...well... half naked." , I tried to explain, searching for words.
„I think you got something wrong, but well...at least cover your eyes then! I'll just get dressed and afterwards we can talk in calmness." , she said, still a bit short tempered.
Turning around, I thought it would be nice to introduce myself since I saw her...ya know...like this.
„I'm Finn, by the way."
„Fiona. Nice...uhh...to meet you." , she mumbled. The sound of textile on textile was to be heard, then she finally turned around, fully dressed. She was wearing a light blue shirt now, combined with her darker skirt and knee-high socks with black shoes. Her head was now covered with a white hat similar to mine, instead of the towel.
„Wa-wait, you're human?" , I breathed as I saw the lock of blond hair revealed by her white bunny hat. Now that I knew it, the similarity was obvious. Her skin looked as pink and soft as mine, her body shaped like mine but with thinner waist and wider hips which made her look even more attractive than Princess Bubblegum. Stunned again by her natural beauty, I started to stare again.
„Ugh...yeah. But I don't want to talk about it." , she murmured, avoiding my eyes.
„Y-you don't have to be afraid! I...Fiona, right? Well, Fiona, just look at me then!" , I pleaded and my heart started to beat faster in excitement. But this time I was sure she wouldn't be able to hear it.
As vulerable as me.
„Fiona, please!" I couldn't give up that easy!
She sighed and hesitated for a second but turned around at last, looking right into my eyes as blue as hers. Opening her mouth to complain she closed it the next heartbeat as I moved my own hat a bit, revealing a flick of my hair
„You...you..." , she breathed and walked towards me, reaching out with her fingers to touch it. „Ugh..." I backed off a bit before she could reach it, trying not to be too rude.
„Oh! Personal zone, I know. Sorry." , she apologized and blushed slightly. „Well, I think we should go downstairs..."
„Yeah, Jake is making everything-burrito. I guess you can eat dinner with us..." , I suggested, feeling a bit uncomfortably by asking something like that. It...well...sounded like a date.
„Who the heck is Jake?" , she frowned.
„My brother, he's a magic dog."
„Well, I guess we have much to talk about..." , she sighed but lead the way to the kitchen.
Half way down the stairs, angry voices exploded in the living room, followed by hissing, growling and screeching.
„Intruder!" , someone yelled, followed by a muffled sound like something fell to the ground.
„Woah, get off me! You're the one trespassing!" That was obviously Jakes voice.
„Stop lying, stupid brat! Get your dirty dog ass out of my home!"
„Are you insane? Ouch, stop that! You stinky cat!"
„Cake! STOP!" , Fiona yelled as she started to run, slithering into the room. The scenery in front of us looked like it was from a creepy movie:
Jake and some giant cat with orange-white patched fur were rolling on the floor, trying to claw and bite each other in a massive flurry ball of fur.
Liquids of nearly every color speckled the floor, eggs were broken and clinged like fotos to the wall. Clothes were tossed across the sofa, groceries made our way through the mess to hurdles.
Reaching the still fighting pets, each of us grabbed one end of the tangled fur ball and pulled them apart.
Looking into two white furious blazing eyes with pupils like slits, I knew I must have caught Fionas pet, Cake. The cats eyes went huge the moment it recognized me, her mouth fell open.
„F-Fiona...what happened to your beautiful curves?" , she sobbed, stroking my – thank glob- flat chest and waist. At the same time I could hear Jakes voice behind me since Fiona and me were standing back-to-back, whispering in a rather bewildered tone.
„Finn? You...urgh...look a bit feminine..."
„I-I'm not..." , the real me stammered, trying to explain this awkward situation but Fiona was quicker to react.
„Cake? What the heck? I'm right here!"
„Finn? Are you there?"
„Fiona!"
„Urgh...Jake?"
Everyone screamed at each other, switching pets or humans and fussed over not knowing what was happening until some high-pitched sound interrupted our little quarrel. It sounded like some little girl screaming but it turned out it was the alarm clock for the oven.
„The burritos!" , Jake yelled and raced into the kitchen, leaving us to stare at each other.
„Uhm...hi." , I started to brake the creepy silence. „I'm Finn, and that...was Jake."
„My name is Cake and this is..." The cat explained, pointing towards the human girl, standing in the center of the living room looking lost and embarrassed.
„Fiona, I know. We...already met." Recalling our first encounter, I blushed again but smiled warmly at the cat, trying to avoid another awkward explanation.
„Oookay. Fi, what are they doing in our house? And who the hell is he? I thought you were dating-"
„Noone!" , Fiona screamed and pressed her hand on the cats mouth to stop her from talking. „As I told you before, I'm not interested in Prince Gumball." , she murmured but blushed slightly. „Finn just entered the house while you were away getting the groceries."
„BURRITOS ARE READY!" , Jake cheered in the kitchen, placing a plate of still steaming burritos on the table.
„Get your lazy asses over here before I'm starving"
While Jake and I told our story, the two girls listened curiously and didn't interrupt us even for a second. Fionas gaze was stuck to my lips like she could make the words flow faster by wishing so. Even Cake didn't move a whisker when Jake took over the conversation.
„Yeah...and that's pretty everything." , the dog finished, his head resting on the table while his eyes were about to close, due to his lack of sleep.
„Well." , Fiona started for the first time, „It seems like this portal-thing brought you right into a parallel universe of Ooo. Our little place here is called Aaa. And therefore this is my house." , she declared and leaned back in her chair, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
The bloody dark red sunset outside of the window colored her white hat into a shade of crimson while her ocean blue eyes seemed rather violet in the dying sun. With the fading light I could comprehend Jakes sleepiness since my eye lids were feeling heavy too.
„Mhm, maybe you two should stay for the night until you figured out what you want to do next." , Fiona laughed as a huge yawn escaped my mouth. „If you rather want to stay and adventure or..." , her voice fell into a cold, sad whisper. „Go home in the morning."
„Thanks, man...uhm...where are we supposed to sleep?"
„Oh, I didn't think about that since we usually don't have sleepover guests, but you can have my bed. I'll sleep on the sofa down here then."
„No, no! There's no need for that, I can perfectly sleep on the couch myself, thanks. You take the bed." , I contradicted because my gentleman-attitudes wouldn't let me make a lady sleep on a sofa while I took her comfy bed.
„Stop it, Finn. It's fine! You're the guest so I'll take the sofa." , Fiona argued, pushing me to the stairway.
„No! But-"
„Oh my glob! Shut up, both of you!" , Cake yelled, obviously tired of our quarrel where to sleep.
„I don't care where you sleep, it's even fine to me if you share your bed if you have to, but Jake and I will go to bed now. I'm tired as hell and I won't stay awake the whole night because of you."
Fiona and I stopped instantly, blushing at the thought of sharing a bed and avoided each others gaze.
„Come on, Jake. Let them settle this on their own. I think I have a perfect box for you upstairs! You can take it for the night." , the cat cheered and went upstairs, Jake at her heals.
The stars on the darkening nightsky were starting to shine as Fiona and I stood there in silence, not sure what to say in our embarrassment.
„I'll take the sofa." , she decided and made her way to the bathroom. When she returned, she was carrying a blanket and had changed her shirt and skirt with a pretty white dress which was falling down to her knees. It was tight on the top, bringing out her thin waist and curves and got wider down her hips which made her look like a little princess. Her hat still hid her head, though.
„Off you go now, bed is ready. Cake and Jake are already asleep, so be quiet." , she said and gave me a wonderful smile which made me want to stay even more.
„I won't sleep in a bed if you aren't." , I declared and didn't move.
„Well, sleep on the floor then." , she joked and laid down on the sofa, cuddling into the soft blue blanket. Grabbing another one from the corner of the living room, I made myself comfortable in front of the sofa she was sleeping on.
„I'm about to." , I murmured, already feeling sleep reaching out for me.
„Idiot." Hearing Fionas lovely voice for the last time, I fell into the first peaceful sleep I had for days.
That's it for now! Phew, it's strange: If I write German stories, I always wish I could use Englisch words, and now that I write an English story I wish I could use German words .
