The full moon was peaking over the Ice Kingdom's mountains, creating a strange light that basked the Grasslands. And with addition of the northern lights, it created a new color that was indescribably beautiful. The green, dark blue, and light purple combined with the gray white from the Ice Kingdom caused the north lights pigment to change into a much lovelier shade of that particular color.
The people of Ooo enjoyed this amazing sight, especially the young couples that were on dates or just in romantic situations.
Ice Cream Guy smiled as his cheek was kissed by his girlfriend, Lollipop Girl. The couple were at a fancy restaurant that was very popular for their anniversary dinner. The two had a great start in the begin of their relationship. As it progress, it was clear it wasn't perfect. It was rocky here and there, and they would fight about the little stuff often. But, they endured the pointless fights and relished each other's company after a disagreement or a joyous occasion, such as this. The sky's lovely color only made things slightly more romantic for their one year and a quarter anniversary.
The Spider Couple looked at the sky as they finally got all of their numerous children to go to bed. Things were stressed with both of them, earlier that day they fought for a solid hour about a fight they had a week ago. It seemed the two human-ish arachnids were going to get a divorce. But the colorful night sky reminded them both about that one date were they were all joy and dancing around in the forest. They both smiled as they started to snuggle near the fireplace, like they did when they were younger.
Jake and Lady Rainicorn were walking around the Lovely Lands Carnival looking for something that would cheer Bmo up. Jake would stopped in front of game booths that had gigantic stuffed animals and would spend vast amounts of gold to play the fair game. But he failed every time at every attempt he made to win, no matter what type of game it was. If game's objective was to knock down mild bottles, he would miss the bottles. If he had to blow a balloon up with a water gun to make it pop before a timer ran out, he would blow it up till it almost popped and the timer will run out. And each failed attempt caused Jake to swear loudly and became more irritable. Lady sighed as she got bored with Jake's yelling, which caused her to look around her environment. She saw there was couple that consisted of a teenage apple girl and a teenage caramel boy sitting on a bench. The girl giggled as her boyfriend would tell her bad joke after bad joke. Lady smiled as she thought to herself.
' 아, 젊은 사랑. 그 사람의 농담이 너무 나쁜,하지만 그녀는 더 그를 좋아하는 그녀는 그들처럼하지 않는 것을 말한다.'

'Aw, young love. That guy's jokes are so bad, but she likes him to much say that she doesn't like them.'

She looked at her magical humanoid canine boyfriend. He narrowed his eyes as he concentrated intensely at the carnival game he was playing. He swung his arm as he attempted to see if he could predict if the bean bag would land into the small bucket. Jake then narrowed his eyes even further and gritted his teeth as he released the bag into the air. For everyone there, it was only airborne for three seconds. But for Jake, it was traveling through the air for hours. A sound of a bag hitting a table resonated in the air. The dog stood there, dumbfounded, as he processed what just happened. Lady flown over to him, placed a hoof on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. Jake looked at his girlfriend who was comforting him.
"나는 당신이 결국 BMO위한 선물을 얻거나 작은 사람까지 응원 할 수있는 방법을 찾을 수 있다고 생각합니다, 여보, 걱정하지 마십시오. 난 당신이 너무 여러 번 실패에도 불구하고, 자신의 능력에 완전한 신뢰가있다. 그러나 나는 당신을 기억 한 번 뭔가를 빠는 것은 뭔가 그렇다고 잘되는의 첫 번째 단계이다 "고 밝혔다."

"Don't worry, honey, I believe that you will eventually get a gift for Bmo or find a way to cheer the little guy up. I have complete confidence in your abilities, even though you failed so many times. But I remember you once said, sucking at something is the first step at being sorta good at something."

Her boyfriend smiled as he hugged her tightly.
"Thanks, babe. Sorry for getting all crazy there, it just gets frustrating you know?"
The rainicorn shook her head "yes", picked up a bean bag and tossed it. It landed perfectly in the wicker basket. The humanoid dog stood there dumbfounded. His mouth was agape and his left eye started to twitch. The humanoid carnival employee grabbed a small stuffed bear and handed it to the couple. The dog's mouth was still open as the transaction was complete. Lady Rainicorn brought Jake out of his trance with a small peck on the cheek. The dog's mood became more giddy as he started to talk.
"Thanks, honey."
The rainicorn smiled as they both walked around the fair grounds, finally enjoying themselves after their endeavor for obtaining an object to make Bmo happy was complete. Jake turned his head towards Lady as he inquired her of something that was very important to him.
"Sooo... How do you get that bean bag to land in the basket?"
As these three couples enjoyed their time together, so was everyone else in the land of Ooo. Everyone was with someone that they either liked a lot or actually loved. The stories vary by place, time, people and problems. But they all have one thing in common, love. Even those that are incredibly alone, (Ice King), or just unlovable, (Lumpy Space Princess), felt less lonely tonight then they ever did in their life times. Indeed, it was a joyous occasion for the strange and bizarre inhabitants of Ooo.
All of them except for Finn, the Lonely Human. The hero didn't notice the beautiful color that filled the sky that made everything seem romantic. He was walking around the dirt roads of the Grasslands country side, contemplating about Flame Princess and how he hurt her bad. He felt sad, as the more he thought about the good times he spent with FP, the more he thought that he blew m it, just to see some dream that would foretell of their break up. They're still good friends, sure, but Finn ;was feeling alone without the girl of fire to keep him company. He kicked some rocks in frustration for his past mistakes that resulted from his stupidity and selfishness at the time.
He sat on a nearby tree stump near a small pond since he walked around the lands for a good solid hour and his legs were starting to feel numb. He looked at the sky as he contemplated his past decisions. He felt good when he hanged out with her and it felt like fireworks going off in front of his face when they kissed that one time. That sensation probably happened because of Flame Princess's emotional problems were if she experience any intense emotions like love or something, she could set the whole world on fire. And no adventurer would want that to happen. So their relationship was heavily chastised from that day on. But that was okay, they would hang out a lot and they would spend time on dungeon crawls that would always have a lot treasure to take and monsters to kill. The two would have destroy a lot of stuff, and FP learned it was pretty fun to destroy evil stuff with her fiery flames while Finn chopped evil with his sword.
Finn smiled at the thought of those good, old memories, till he remembered that won't happen again.
"Wooo..."
The blonde boy looked around to find where the origins of this mysterious sound. He shrugged his shoulders as he only saw some trees and a small pond, nothing alive or anything like that. He then looked at the night sky, sighed and spoke aloud to his lonesome self.
"I bet Flame Princess would like this beautiful sky full of stars and flashing comets and junk."
"Woo... Duuuuddde."
There was that sound again. He stood up to find out where this sound was coming from. He narrowed his eyes as he saw a large bush shaking lightly, like as if someone was hiding in it. He drew his flora blade as he walked slowly to the bush. He stood in front of it and in one swift motion, kick it off of the roots the plant was attached to. The human looked down to only find a small furry creature sleeping. It's eyes fluttered as it woke up from it's dream.
"Meow?"
The cat looked at the human that just interrupted its dream of eating mice.
"Oh, just a kitty cat."
The human smiled as he pet the small cat, knowing that the sound didn't come from some dangerous, life threatening monster. He got a small blanket and a large pillow from his pack. He then grabbed an abandoned basket that was near a skeleton's hand. The cat looked at the human as Finn placed the basket gently on the ground. The blonde put the soft looking pillow in the basket and gently placed the tiny comforter on top of the basket. The cat tilted its head sideways as he looked at the basket that now looked like a bed. The human picked up the cat and placed it on the makeshift bed. The cat landed on it's legs, laid down on the soft surface and started to snore. Finn tucked the blanket around the small feline. He stood there looking at the now happy small mammal.
"Aw. Whelp, I got to think of a way to get in that carnival. Why am I talking to my self?"
He then heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Cause you're weird."
He turned around and almost smacked his head into the vampire's the forehead. Finn stopped and smiled at the realization that his best friend was next to him. She cracked a grin as she floated a couple of inches off of the ground. Her ebony hair was as long and messy as it always has been, she was wearing a black tank top with a skull with two cobras coming out of the eye sockets and a pair of dark red pants covered with rips and tares.
"Hey Finn. What ja doing there?"
She smirked as she looked at the human and the sleeping cat.
"Having fun playing with that pussy?"
She chuckled at her joke. The human boy blushed and replied to the vampire queen.
"Hey Marceline. And for your own information, I was helping that cat go to sleep."
"Whatev's."
Marceline playfully stuck her forked tongue out at the human boy as she flew towards him. Finn raised an eyebrow as she was three inches away from him. He opened his mouth as he was about to say something, but the vampire shut his lips by placing her index and middle fingers on them.
"Now shut up, hold still and close those eyes. There's something that I always wanted to try, so hold still and keep your eyes and mouth shut. I mean it."
The human did what he was told. A slight chill resonated from Finn's ears when he felt the vampire's cold, undead hands graze his skin. He then felt his head getting colder and colder as he started to feel his hair flowing in the freezing wind. Wait, his HAIR. Finn opened his eyes to see what he suspected was true. There in Marceline's hands was his beloved bear hat. She was a good ten feet up in the air as the blonde human gritted his teeth.
"Hey! That's my hat!"
The vampire grinned as she toyed with the human.
"I know. I took it because it looks cute on me."
She laughed as she put the head ware on her cranium, which made him even angrier. Although Finn had to admit, she did look pretty cute when she was wearing it.
"Give it back!"
She grinned as she took the bear hat off and held it in her right hand.
"If you want it, come get it."
He jumped into the air as he relentlessly tried to reclaim his hat from the vampire queen's hands. Marceline just floated there as she would lower her hand to Finn's reach when he was on the ground. Then she would jerk her arm away when the human boy's fingers ever got too close to their prize. This went on for three minutes, which cause Finn to become slightly exhausted. The vampire started to laugh as she noticed the human's slow progress. The human pouted as he heard a small yawn. His eyes sparked as he thought of a quick plan. He grabbed the object and hurled it at the vampire. Marceline stopped laughing as she caught the basket with her free hand.
"Ha! I caught your basket. What are you going to do now?"
"Nothing at all."
Finn stood there, grinning as he watch his plan go into action. There was a low growl coming from the basket. With a curious look on her face, Marceline looked into the wicker container. Out of the blue, an angry feline leaped out of the basket and latched its claws into Marceline. The vampire howled in pain as she tried to pulled the cat off of her. During her struggle, she released the bear hat from her hand. It floated gently downward as Finn harshly grabbed it from the air. His face was beaming as he put the precious cloth in its rightful place. His conscience stirred up after the bad action he just committed. It sounded a lot like Jake.
'Dude, why did you just do that to Marceline? She's your best friend.'
Finn defended his position by responding to his talkative conscience.
'She took my hat and it was difficult to get it back! So the cat seemed to be the only option that would work. And it did.'
His conscience sighed as it continued to talk to Finn's mind.
'Finn, you unleashed a mad feline on MARCELINE! You shouldn't have done that since you get mad at yourself for hurting anyone you like, like Marceline. Also she is going to be very mad and she's a vampire, so...nice knowing ya!'
'Wait! Don't go!'
His guide left him to deal with a seriously pissed off Marceline. Finn then heard a vampire's hiss and turned around to see the angry vampire queen herself. Her irises were a dark shade of blood red, the tips of her fangs were exposed, her hair was messier than it ever was before and her gray skin had multiple scratches and scrapes. The human felt scared as he stared into the eyes of his vampire friend.
"Hey, um yeah, the cat was probably too extreme, but...Uh, you still look good."
He gave a weak smile as he tried to ease the tension between them, but to avail. She hissed at Finn, which caused the human to close his eyes and emit a small, frighten screech. He stood there as he await the vampire's revenge. She kicked him in the chest, which caused the blonde to flew through the air, like a child's rag doll. He landed into the freezing pond water, causing a huge splash that was ten feet high. Marceline sighed as she heard her conscience once again. It sounded a lot like Simon.
'Why did you do that to Finn, Marcy? He's you best friend.'
The vampire queen mentally responded to her moral compass.
'You're kidding right? He made a cat claw my skin so he could get a hat!'
Her conscience gave her a long sigh as it continued.
'Marceline, it's his hat! It's important to him. A lot of people have precious things that are incredibly precious to them and they will do anything to get it back. I mean, how would you feel if some dingus took your bass axe?'
The vampire queen shrugged her shoulders as she floated about the pond water. She mentally sighed as she replied to her mind.
'I'd probably rip that guy's heart or do something evil.'
'Exactly, you do something mean. Then you feel it'll sad if it was someone you cared about. Like Finn. So go help him out of that pond. It's freezing and he'll catch a cold.'
'What do you think I'm doing? Hello? I guess you're gone.'
Marceline floated above the accumulation of bubbles on the pond's surface. She flew close to the murky water as she noticed the eerie shape of a human boy underwater. She narrowed her eyes as she tried to determine if the shape was Finn. Then a large dark object obmerged from the pond's surface. It roared as it got closer and closer to Marceline. The vampire face palmed, sighed and got closer to this weird creature. It waved it arms around as she got closer to it. She floated there in midair as she grinned.
"Hey 'scary swamp monster', I know it's you, Finn."
The human got out of the swamp monster disguse and pouted at Marcy.
"How did ya know it was me?"
"Dude, I'm a vampire. I have incredibly good senses, which means I see, hear, taste, feel and smell better than an animal could. And I know what you smell like, so I knew it was you."
"Oh."
The vampire had a small smile on her face as she gave her hand to the human.
"So, do you want to get out of the pond?"
He smiled as he grabbed her wrist and she grabbed his.
"Yeah, pull me up please."
She pulled him out of the water and flew over to dry land. She let go of the human boy and flew down onto the grassy ground. Finn smiled as he asked a question.
"So, how did you just happen to stumble upon me?"
The teen vampire shrugged her shoulders and recounted her tale.
"I don't really know how I found you. I was at my house and I was really bored, so I flew around Ooo. Then I found you and decided to mess with you."
"That's it?"
"Yup."
Finn thought for a moment as his idea was starting to formulate in his blonde cranium.
"So, you don't have any scheduled activities for tonight, right?"
The vampire shook her head "yes", raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"Yeah, why are you asking? You gonna ask me out?"
There was a small blush forming on Finn's cheeks as he tried to explain the situation to Marceline.
"No, no, no! Not at all! I just thought maybe you could help me cheer Bmo up by helping me get into a carnival and get something cool for the little dude."
"Why do you need my help? You seem capable of getting inside."
The human boy rubbed the back of his neck and his blush darken as he elaborated about the carnival's weird rule for entry.
"Well, I can't enter because the carnival only allows couples to enter and I'm still single since Flame Princess broke up with me. So...I need your help to get inside."
The vampire contemplated about the proposal that the human boy had made. She grinned as she gave her reply.
"Sure, I guess. But I'm going to lay some ground rules. First, I'm going to prank people hardcore. Second, no tongue, non at all. So deal with it. And finally, I'm going as myself as your girlfriend, right?"
She raised her eyebrow at the end of statement. Finn smiled as he replied.
"Yep, we're friends just acting like a couple. And I'm totally fine with those rules."
Marceline smiled.
"Cool, so where's this carnival or fair or whatever?"
Finn pointed towards the Grasslands as he elaborated about the location.
"It's in the Grasslands and it's pretty close to my house."
The vampire queen looked confused as she heard the human.
"So, it's somewhere in the Grasslands? Can you be any more specific, like an address or junk?"
The human smiled as he told Marceline the simple version.
"Just grab my hand, fly into the air and you'll see it."
"Okay, Finn."
She grabbed his hand and they both flew up high in the night sky. The human held on to his bear hat as the wind was more powerful in the higher atmosphere. Marceline almost hit a couple of birds during her flight, which she expertly dodged them with vampire speed. The avians would yell and curse at them when the two would get frightingly close. But their efforts were in vain, since the rush of both the wind and adrenaline made it hard to hear anything audible at all. She slowly decreased her ascent as she got closer to the dark clouds.
When the vampire finally cease her ascent, she narrowed her eyes as she tried to pinpoint the fair's location. The human looked around the large expanse of Ooo. He could see the Candy Kingdom, the Ice Kingdom, the Bad Lands, the dreaded Ocean, the Lost Forest, Wizard City and finally, the Grasslands. He poked Marceline's arm in order to get her attention. She turned her head down as she noticed the human's poking.
"Yeah?"
"I can see from here. It over there!"
He pointed at the carnival's large roller coster with his index finger. She followed the finger's direction and her eyes widen when she saw the impressive trill ride.
"Oh, okay. Thanks Finn."
"No prob."
Finn held on to the vampire's wrist as Marceline was flying towards the Lovely Lands Carnival.
Hey, so I finally finish this chapter one week later. So if it took too long, school and life is my excuse.
