9 years later, Finn was still living with Martin and his dog, Jake. He was living in a country area but he wasn't too far away from civilization. He went to school in that area but was going to move schools soon. He was a very handsome young man with shaggy blonde hair and was fairly tanned. Finn still remembered Marceline but only slightly. The memories were faint. He was turning 17 in a week and was planning to move schools in another area, hopefully the United States. He had already packed all his stuff to move away, epecially his white bear hat which was his most treasured posession. He did it to move away from his dad because living with him wasn't fun. It was torcherous. He had saved up a lot of money, enough to move. He couldn't stop thinking about Marceline but was slowly forgetting their times together. Even her name. He didn't even get any photos of her. By this point, he only remembered her name as 'Marny'. He thought it was best to stop thinking about her altogether because he was never going to see her again anyway. He barely remembered what she looked like. He looked over at Jake and sighed. "It's time to move, boy," he smiled.

Marceline walked around her room and tapped her chin, she was going to ask Simon. Today was the day! She was finally going to ask him if they could move! She nodded and ran downstairs, her little dog, Schwabl, chased after her. They lived in a snowy mountain area that was close enough to a city. "Simon!" Marceline looked around, trying to find him. Marceline had grown to be beautiful, she had long black hair and a slim figure, she had fair, pale skin which complemented her hair well. "SIMON!" she screamed,

"WHAT IS IT?! What's wrong?!" he ran into the room,

"AHAHA!" she laughed, gripping her stomach,

"NOT FUNNY!" he fixed his glasses,

"Okay okay! Simon, I wanna talk to you," she smiled,

"About what?" he huffed,

"About moving,"

"About what now?"

"I wanna move schools! I wanna move somewhere new! Somewhere different!"

"Like where exactly?"

"United States?" she grinned,

"Why there?"

"Because it sounds nice there?"

"HAH! Yeah, sure," he laughed,

"Come on, Simon! It even has better work there! You can get another teacher job there! A better job,"

"Where are you going with this?" he raised an eyebrow,

"PLEASE SIMON! How can you say no to these eyes?" she widened her eyes, making them sparkle in a way,

"Not the puppy eyes!" he moaned,

"Come on, Simon! You know you can't resist!" she pouted,

"Fine! Okay okay!" Simon sighed,

"THANK YOU!" she jumped on him,

"What's happening?" Betty walked in,

"Oh, hey Betty!" Marceline waved,

"Guess what! We're moving!" Simon whined,

"Seriously? Good! This place is cold," Betty mumbled as she walked out of the room again, Marceline laughed as she ran upstairs, followed by Schwabl.

Marceline ran into her room and looked around, she had clothes and music sheets everywhere. She looked over at her bass and skateboard and grabbed them, placing them in the middle of the room. Schwabl jumped up onto a chair and watched her move around her room. Marceline picked up all her music sheets and stuffed them in a file, grabbing her guitar case next and shoving her bass in it. She piled up all her clothes and placed them all next to her guitar case. She ran to her closet and pulled out all her clothes, adding them to the clothes pile. She grabbed a stool, put it in the closet and stood on top of it, reaching for the shelf above her clothes. She searched around and suddenly paused.

She stared at the object and cautiously grabbed it. Marceline pulled it down. It was her mini, red guitar that Finn gave her. She didn't remember his name though. The memories were so faint it made her tear up. She strummed it lightly, dust scattered everywhere. She tried remembering his name. "Was it Pen? Or... Pin? Or was it Ken? Ugh! I don't know!" she sighed, staring down at it. She felt sick and disgusted in herself for not remembering her best friend's name. She didn't even have a photo. She couldn't even remember his appearance! She climbed off the stool and placed the guitar near the rest of her stuff. She sighed and continued to pack up the rest of her stuff.

A few days later, Finn finished packing and got Jake to follow him. He placed his green back pack on his back and they made their way outside. He sprinted to the bus station as Jake followed close behind. A bus appeared shortly after and stopped infront of them. "Where to?" the bus driver asked,

"The airport," Finn nodded confidently.

Marceline, Simon and Betty had packed up all their furniture and clothes with in a span of 3 days and they were all set to go. Simon called a moving truck, asking them to get all their furniture to California and that they'd handle the rest by the time it got to the airport. Next, they called a taxi to take them to the airport. They were on their way to the United States.

An hour later, Finn was at the airport. He was staring at the maps wondering where to go. "Hmm..." he thought about it. "What about... Phoenix? Phoenix... heh, that sounds familiar... Phoebe. that's what it sounds like..." he quickly snapped out of it as soon as Jake barked. "Oh! Sorry, Jake! I got distracted again. Heh! Woops," he scratched the back of his head. He looked back at the map again. "Hmm... What about Washington?" Finn thought, he looked down at Jake and saw that his noise was pointing at California. "California, huh? Hmm... Sounds good. California it is!" he smiled. "But where in California? You know what? I'm just gonna do it randomly," he closed his eyes and waved his finger over the map and placed his finger on a random spot, he slowly opened his eyes and saw where he landed. "San Fransisco?... Okay! Why not? Let's go!" he picked up his luggage and made his way to the front desk.

"Wait, Simon! We can't just tell the movers to go to the airport in California!" Marceline folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" he asked,

"Because there's hundreds of airports in California! We need to choose one here and now!"

"Fine! I'll choose a popular one... I'm going with San Fransisco," he made up his mind,

"San Fransisco?" she asked,

"Yep! And we're sticking to it,"

"Well... Okay?" she shrugged,

"I'll call the movers now," he pulled his phone out and called the number as they pulled up at the airport.

On the plane ride, Finn was looking at high school's in San Fransisco. He scrolled through a lot but couldn't find any he thought looked good. He nearly gave up but he finally found one that he thought looked good. "'Madison Piere Academy High School'? Huh. That sounds cool," he smiled as he looked into it more. It was in the Sunset District. "That sounds like a good place to live," Finn smiled. "Sunset District it is," he turned off his phone and stared out the window.

"Hey Simon?" Marceline looked over at him as they were sitting down on the plane,

"Yes?"

"Where in San Fransisco are we gonna live?"

"Why don't you choose?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, go ahead," Simon handed her her phone that had to go through security which she never retrieved,

"Umm... Okay," she grabbed it from him and looked for the area. She scrolled through them all until she ended up on 'Sunset District'. "That sounds nice. Now for the school," she smiled. She scrolled through all the schools until she saw one that she thought appealed to her. "'Madison Piere Academy High School'? Sounds fancy," she agreed that that's where she should go. She put her phone into her bag and stared out the window.

As Finn went through security, got Jake from the security, got his luggage and made his way out into the heat of San Fransisco, he called out for a taxi. "Where to, kid?" a taxi pulled up and wound down the window,

"Sunset District?"

"You don't sound sure,"

"Uhh..." he didn't know how to respond,

"Where in Sunset District?" he rolled his eyes,

"Where?" Finn quickly took out his phone and searched for what he meant, a bunch of 'Ave's' appeared. "Oh! Uhh... 47th Avenue?"

"47th Avenue? Sure... Hop in," the taxi guy closed the window and waited for him to get in.

Marceline, Simon and Betty finally got off the plane and went through all the security and got Schwabl from the security too. They called for a taxi and told him to take them to Sunset District. They went through the same confusion as Finn and finally said to go to 48th Avenue.

Finn sat in the taxi and stared out the window, they were really close to the ocean. He smiled because it reminded him of Marceline, his smile slowly faded. But it was also the memory of his mother's death. He quickly shook his head, getting rid of the thought. The taxi stopped, parking infront of a small shopping area. Finn got out of the car and thanked the man, giving him his money. He turned around and saw a realestate agency. He whistled for Jake to follow. Finn and Jake walked to the agency and entered, eventually greeted by a woman at the front desk. "Hello, my name is Clara. Would you like to rent or buy?" she asked with a smile,

"Uhh, yeah... Hi, I'm Finn," he looked around the building, it was small but pretty fancy,

"Good morning, Finn. Would you like an apartment on 47th Avenue?" she asked,

"Yes please," he smiled,

"I'll give you this article, you choose which apartment," she handed him a brochure,

"Thanks," he took it from her and opened it up, there were dozens of apartments in the area,

"Any you like?" she asked,

"Umm... Yeah, this one," he handed it back to her and pointed to one,

"This one?" she asked, clarifying his request,

"Mhm," he nodded,

"Okay... So, this one is $280 a week," she pointed out,

"Yeah, that's fine," he smiled,

"Okay, great! I'll just go get the keys and I'll get someone to drive you there," she stood up and went to the back of the agency,

"She seems nice," Finn looked down at Jake,

"Okay, here you go!" she came out from the back and handed him a key,

"Thanks,"

"Remember, you'll have to pay your rent every week. Just leave it in your letter box and someone will come and retieve it every week," she reminded him,

"Okay, thanks,"

"I'll go get him," she walked away again and called a man to the front. "Jeffery! We have a new client! Take him to apartment... 15 on 47th Avenue!" she called out,

"Coming!" a deep voice called back,

"He'll be here in a minute," she smiled at Finn,

"Okay," Finn clutched on his keys, a tall, dark man came from the back and walked outside,

"Go follow him," she waved,

"Okay, thanks Clara!" Finn waved,

"Bye, Finn!" she giggled.

Marceline hopped out of the taxi and took a deep breath. "Smells like freedom," she laughed,

"Hurry up, Marcy!" Simon laughed,

"Coming!" she chased after Simon and Betty into a realestate agency on 48th Avenue. They were greeted by a short, busty woman. "Hello, my name is Stephany. Would you like to rent or buy?" she asked with a high pitched voice,

"We'd like to buy please," Simon smiled,

"Here's a catalogue for houses on 48th Avenue," she passed them a brochure to look through,

"Gimme!" Marcy snatched it from Simon's hands,

"Hey!" he frowned,

"Ooh! This one looks nice!" she pointed to an old fashioned-looking house,

"That one?" Simon took it from her and raised an eyebrow,

"Come on! Please!" she whined,

"Fine!"

"That one is $20,000 a year," Stephany piped up,

"Seriously?" Simon looked over at Marceline who was giving her famous puppy eyes,

"Come on, Simon," Betty laughed,

"Alright alright... For my 2 favourite gals," he smirked,

"Yay! Woop woop!" Marceline laughed,

"Here's the key, I'll just go get someone to drive you there".

Finn and Jake made their way to their apartment, 15th on 47th Avenue. By this point, Jeffery had already left. The apartment was small but cute, he climbed up the stair case into the apartment. The place was already furnished and was fortunately his taste. He sighed happily, dropped his backpack on the floor and crashed on the couch. "Home sweet home".

By the end of the day, Marceline, Simon and Betty's house was furnished. The mover's had made their way to their house and moved all the furniture into the house. The place was starting to feel like home to them. Simon and Betty were already trying to find jobs. In about an hour, they were hired for a place in Madison Piere Academy High School as Science teachers. The school was lacking on Science teachers so, over the phone, they only had to know their previous job and skills. Marceline didn't need a job though, she had Simon and Betty for that. Unfortunately, Finn did. So he decided to find a job the next day. Luckily, he did find one. He got a job as a retailer, helping around a clothes shop. That should be enough for food and rent.

About a week later, it was Sunday Night and Finn and Marceline were ready to go to school. "Are you sure you're ready? We only just moved," Betty asked Marceline,

"Of course! Guys, it'll be fine!" Marceline laughed and gave them both a hug,

"Well... Alright," they shrugged, hugging her back. Finn stared down at his backpack and Jake. "Time to start a new life I guess," Finn sighed.
