MIA

Finn sat in the throne and smirked. It was a bit uncomfortable, being made entirely of stone, but it was better than standing around. Over the next ten minutes, guests trickled in until most were there and Jake had the DJ start the music.

"Time to start," Jake smiled happily walking over to Finn.

"Not yet," Finn smirked. "There's one more."

"Finn, she'll show up," Jake assured him. "But that doesn't mean we should keep the cake and ice cream from them."

"Just start everyone dancing," Finn sighed waving a hand. "Call Party God or something. Just keep them busy until she gets here."

"If you say so man," Jake shrugged.

He walked over to the DJ who directed him to a phone. a few minutes later, Party God appeared in the middle of the room and the DJ started playing his favorite songs. Finn pulled his phone out and dialed but there was no answer.

"Must have already left," Finn muttered.

Finn waited patiently for the last guest but after nearly a hour, still no one had arrived. Finn watched the other guests as they mingled and danced, all having the time of their lives while waiting patiently. Finn was getting anxious. It felt like they had been waiting for ages already. Finally Jake walked over.

"Finn," Jake began and Finn sighed. "I know you want to wait a little longer but the DJ's having a hard time keeping the songs going and the others are getting impatient. Can't we at least do cake and ice cream?"

"I told you no," Finn sighed. "We're waiting for Marceline."

He picked up his phone, dialing her again but again she didn't answer. Jake could tell he was getting worried now.

"You think something happened?" Jake questioned.

"Marcie can handle herself," Finn stated, sounding more like he was trying to reassure himself than Jake.

"Should we go look for her?" Jake questioned. "She's not exactly the type to break a promise lightly."

"I know," Finn nodded. "Alright. Let's go find her."

They walked to the exit but stopped when Flame Princess flew out in front of him.

"Where are you going birthday boy?" Flame Princess questioned.

"We're going to find Marceline," Finn stated. "She's not answering but should be here already."

"I'm coming," Flame Princess decided. "I'll fly you. Flambo, they need Flame Shield."

Flambo nodded and cast the spell on both of them then Flame Princess picked them up and flew them out of the cave and toward Marceline's. After about fifteen minutes, they arrived and Finn walked up to the door knocking and accidentally pushing the broken door open. He shared a surprised look with Jake before hurrying inside with Jake to search the house, finding it empty.

"Marceline's missing," Finn shouted out the window to Flame Princess.

She nodded and turned, flying out of the cave to look around. Finn and Jake rushed out and stopped as she landed in front of them.

"I don't see her," Flame Princess reported. "You two split up and look for her. Finn, you check the Ice Kingdom and Jake you check the grasslands since you're faster. I'll check the Evil Forest."

Finn and Jake nodded, turning and sprinting away from each other as FLame Princess flew away again. Within fifteen minutes, Finn reached the Ice Kingdom and a few minutes later, he was at the Ice King's palace. He sprinted into it and a moment later the Ice King flew out of a side door, shooting a bolt of ice at him. Finn ducked under it, slamming the Ice King into the wall and extending his grass sword, putting it to the Ice King's throat.

"I'll give you only one chance to come clean," Finn growled, Ice King, knowing full well what the unspoken 'or else' option was. "Do you have Marceline here?"

"No," Ice King stated. "I don't. I haven't seen her in three days."

Finn glared at him for a moment before retracting his sword and nodding, turning and walking to the door just as a column of flame shot up from the trees of the Evil Forest. He instantly leapt out the door, sprinting down the side of the mountain and through the Ice Kingdom then to the trees. He quickly wound his way through the trees, avoiding skeletons, flesh walls, and evil sign posts as he darted through the forest, finally reaching a clearing where Flame Princess was trying to fight a group of what Finn instantly placed as vampires. The day had been cloudy so far so it didn't surprise him that they were out. It did surprise him that they would fight someone from the Fire Kingdom.

He extended his grass blade again, charging forward and slashing at one vampire, bisecting him. Another leapt at him and Finn removed his arm then his head. Flame Princess caught another, lighting him on fire and hurling him into yet another. Out of the eight that were present, four were defeated, two dead by fire.

"Damn," one of them growled as the other three began to walk forward as one. "I knew that bitch was going to be trouble."

"What did you say!?" Finn shouted. "You took Marceline! Where is she!?"

He smirked then turned and sprinted away.

"Go FP!" Finn shouted pulling out a bottle of adrenaline and coating his grass blade with it. "I'll handle these fuckers!"

Flame Princess nodded and flew after the vampire while the other three charged at Finn. He stabbed one in the heart, slashed another across the chest, careful to make sure the adrenaline would be close enough to work, and then drove the blade down through the last vampire's skull and into his heart. Then, he sprinted after Flame Princess, finding her fighting a small pack of five Why-wolves. He quickly killed them all and they continued, Flame Princess leading the way until a witch stepped out in front of them.

"Keep going!" Finn shouted. "I've got this!"

He slashed at the witch and she ducked under it as Flame Princess flew past. Finn drove his sword down at her but she was already gone. Finn spun, turning just in time to block a swipe from a dagger the witch had drawn from her robes. She jumped back and slammed a hand down, seals spreading under her before several skeletons began to climb up from the ground. Finn snorted in amusement and sprinted forward, slashing at them. They fell quickly and easily but once he had finished, he turned back toward their remains to see that in their place were fire spirits, each holding a katana made of flames.

"Kill him!" the witch shouted.

The flame spirits all charged and Ichigo slashed at one, the spirit blocking the slash and kicking at him. FInn leapt back on instinct just as his Flame Shield spell wore off and he growled and frustration. The flame spirit charged again and Finn ducked under its slash, bisecting it only to be hurled into a tree when it exploded into a fireball. A moment later, the area lit up with explosions. As the smoke began to clear, Finn sprinted out of it, deciding to use the smoke to escape as he had only barely managed to escape dying in the explosions. He charged through the trees as fast as he could, hearing the sounds of battle and feeling waves of heat before him. Then, thunder clapped as lightning flashed and rain began to fall hard and fast, instantly reducing his visibility to barely ten feet. He swore, knowing that Flame Princess couldn't survive prolonged exposure to the rain and couldn't fight in it. Sure enough, within a few seconds, a scream rang out. He pushed himself faster and charged out into a clearing as the rain let up slightly, seeing Flame Princess on the ground in the distance, the vampire already gone.

Finn sat bolt upright, swearing and looking around. It was still raining and he took a second to recall where he was. Then, he stood, deciding to move on before more memories found him.
