Author's Note:
Guest: Well, alright then, here it is
Hey readers, I just wanted to say thanks for the views. The reason why I didn't update yesterday or the day before was because I had this big fight with my girl. Here's to hoping she'll talk to my again.
Anyway, here is the next chapter, I hope you like it.
Chapter Two: A Trip to Candy Land, Oops, I Mean Kingdom
Walking down the beaten path was our favorite adventurer and his trusted companion, on their way to the Candy Kingdom. So far, they made a list of all the people they planned on asking, including PB, Marceline, LSP, Ice King (maybe), Jake Jr., Tree Trunks [in my story, TT broke up with the pig guy. They share custody of Sweet P], and a number of other potential guests. First on their list was the bubblegum princess herself, Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum.
"Hey Jake?" asked Finn in a slight hushed tone.
"Yeah bud." Said Jake.
"Do… do you think we should… you know, ask…" stuttered Finn.
"You want to invite FP, don't you?" said Jake with a slight grin.
"I don't know, kind 'a," started Finn, "I mean, I feel like I've moved on, but that doesn't mean I want to cut her out of my life completely. I know we'll probably never be together again, but I still want us to hang out again. I always had a good time with her. We just never got to be friends before."
"Wow, that's pretty mature of you dude." Jake said, a little taken back.
"Thanks." Finn said with a nod.
The conversation went on about who else they should invite, until both hero's came to the massive doors that led to the infamous Candy Kingdom. However, instead of entering said kingdom, they walked around it in order to travel to their real destination; a tiny shack on the outskirts of the candy forests. This freshly renovated hovel was home to the banished princess Bonnibel and her loyal servant, Peppermint Butler.
Upon arriving, the two companions saw the ex-princess, who was watering her candy garden, and her butler holding a glass of lemonade right next to her. It wasn't until her friends were feet away did she realize that they were even there. When she did, she gave them a uplifting smile.
"Finn! Jake!" said exclaimed, "I'm so glad to see you."
She ditched her pink gown for a loose t-shirt, a pair of snug jeans that were folded up to her knees, and some mud stained rain boots. Her hair was different too. Instead of it being perfectly straight like usual, it was pulled back into a messy bun.
She stood up and began to walk over to the two, giving them a heartwarming hug. This was unexpected, but none the less, appreciated, as the two step-brothers tightly hugged her back.
"So," she said, braking the hug, "how are my two favorite adventurers?"
"Eh, could be better." answered Jake.
"Oh really why's that?" asked PB, a little let down.
"Well you know," Finn explained, "ever since that whole biz with that comet, combined with the weird space monster almost destroying the planet, the other kingdoms finally upgraded their defenses."
"Yeah, which is great and all but…" Jake started to say.
"It means work pretty much dried up as of late." Finn finished.
"Really!?" PB asked, her face revealing how surprised she was.
"Yeah, even Ice King stop kidnapping princess cause of all their new security they hired. Now he just holds up in his lair, writing more of his goofy fanfiction." Continued Finn [ha].
"Oh well, sorry I'm out of the loop. Ever since I got kicked out my kingdom, I'm pretty much at a loss with current events. Other then Marcy and you guys, everyone else tries to ignore me now." Said PB in a saddened tone. "Oh well, it was nice seeing you guys again."
After that, Princess Bubblegum turned her back to them and made her way back to her little shack. This brought the brothers down, until they looked at one another and gave each other a quick nod.
"Hey PB?" Finn called out to her.
Hearing this, the said ex-princess looked back at the young hero.
"Jake and I have been thinking and," Finn began, who looked at Jake real quick, then back to Bonnie, "We want to host another movie night at our place. What do you say, do you want to hang out with us tonight. Everyone will be there."
"Really." Whispered Bonnibel.
"Yep, it'll be just a bunch of friends hanging out, like the good ole' days." Finn said.
Bonnie took turns looking between the two adventurers to see if they were telling the truth. Seeing this Finn, walked right up her, looked her straight in the eye and said,
"Please. It would mean a lot to me if you came."
At that moment, all PB could think was: Wow, was he always this charming? After shaking that thought out of her head, she looked back at her friend and said with a smile,
"Of course I will."
After hearing this, Finn jumped in the air with a loud "Yes" and embraced the banished princess in a with a tight hug. Then, after let her down, the two step-brothers said their goodbyes and left to their next destination. All the while, PB just stood there, still feeling the warmth of Finn's embrace.
