Finn watched the girl sleep. It was pretty obvious that she was human. He wondered why he hadn't noticed earlier. The sun was starting to rise when Jake came in to see if she was ok. "Hey buddy." Finn said his eyes leaving the sleeping girl. Jake sat next to Finn. "So looks like Im not the last one anymore." Finn said. The sun rays hit the girls eyes. Within ten seconds she opened her eyes. Finn could tell she was panicked. "Calm down. Its ok, you're safe here." He told her. She calmed down trusting him fully. Princess Bubblegum entered the room to remove the tourniquet. "Oh good your awake." Bubblegum said sweetly to the girl. "W-where am I?" The girl questioned shyly on the verge of tears. "You're in Candy Kingdom. My name is Bonnibel but everyone just calls me Princess Bubblegum." She motioned for Finn and Jake to come over beside the hospital bed. "This is Jake the dog and Finn the human," Pb said, motioning to each of them. "Human? Glad to know I'm not the only one." She said smiling. "Me too" Finn replied. "What do you mean?" She asked confused. "Its just me and you. I was the last before you got here." He explained. "Oh." she said grimly. Finn didn't know how to interpret her remark. He decided she probably was just hoping humanity was less endangered than she had once thought. "So… Whats your name?" Jake asked trying to fill the awkward silence that followed. "My name is Evangeline." "We were told Ice King found you in a box. How did you get there?" Finn asked. Tears filled her eyes immediately. Finn noticed he had struck a nerve with that question and tried to change the subject but she interrupted. "No its ok I'll tell you. There was a terrible nuclear war." "Do you mean the Mushroom War?" Princess Bubblegum interrupted. "Mushroom war?" Evangeline sniffed, wiping a few tears away. "Oh you mean like mushroom clouds? Well We called it World War Five. Me and my best friend Aaron were going to be preserved in those boxes while all the other humans perished. But we left too late and I saw the bomb fall and Aaron was exposed to the radiation and…" She stopped as tears started to flow. "He killed my dad." She tried her hardest to stop crying to speak. "H-How long was I asleep?" Evangeline asked. "When did you fall asleep?" Bubblegum asked. "3023" "Over 1000 years!" Pb exclaimed. "S-So I'm 1000 years old?" Evangeline said with a scared look on her face."Over!" Jake corrected. Finn nudged him and shot an angry look. "Oh sorry." Jake said. "Well how old were you when you fell asleep?" Finn asked. "14." She replied. "Well then thats how old you are now." Finn said. She smiled. "I have an idea! Why don't we throw a big party to celebrate your arrival!" Pb exclaimed. "I'll invite everyone in Ooo!" Evangeline's face lit up. "Ok!" She said excitedly. "Could you two hand out invitations?" Pb asked Finn and Jake. "Sure thing." Finn said. Pb printed out invitations and put them in a basket. She handed them to Finn who was on his way. "Alright lets get you some clothes." Bubblegum said to Evangeline. Evangeline got up and used the blanket to cover herself. As she was led throughout the castle she stared at everyone she passed and they stared at her. They've never seen a human besides Finn and she had never seen living candy. Finally they made it to a closet in the hallway. Bubblegum pulled out a box of things she wore when she was 13. "Hmm this should fit." She said pulling out a yellow long sleeve shirt (same color as Finn's yellow shirt.) with a heart stitched in the center of it and jean shorts that reached to the knees. She handed Evangeline the clothes and showed her to the bathroom. Evangeline got dressed and came out. "Awe that looks really good on you! It matches your hair!" Pb said. "Hey lets go help the staff prepare for the party." She suggested.
Later
The party room was all ready and guests were arriving. Finn introduced Evangeline to everyone in Ooo starting with Marcaline, LSP, and Susan. Princess Bubblegum was dancing when she noticed Finn and Evangeline sitting at one of the tables talking. She noticed the blush on Finn's face that he always used to get when talking to PB. Bubblegum giggled and stepped in. "So Evangeline? Do you know where you want to stay? I have some spare rooms or you could live with Finn and Jake in the tree fort." the princess offered. "Yeah! You could stay with us! We could go on adventures together!" Finn said excitedly. Evangeline smiled. "Sounds great!" She said. "Then it's settled." Princess Bubblegum said. The party ended as quickly as it had began and Evangeline was sitting on Jake's back with Finn on their way to the tree house. "Uh Evangeline?" Finn blushed. "Yes?" She responded. "What was it like? When humans were everywhere?" Finn asked. "Well… It might not be as good as you thought. Most of us were evil. Right before I went to sleep there seemed to be a disaster everyday. Shootings, bombings, war, and nuclear attacks…. There were good people too. Like my dad. He was a scientist and he invented a way to save me and one other person. But Aaron… I don't really know what happened to him. I-I shot him, when he attacked my dad. But he got up again and he put me into that pod. I still don't know why." She explained to him. Finn looked down at his feet. He looked up again to see Evangeline looking up at the stars. "I can see the planets." She said in shock. "Yeah… It wasn't that way a thousand years ago?" Finn said looking at it. "No… Its beautiful." She said in awe. Evangeline leaned back to get a better view. "Evangeline?" Finn called again. "Hmm?" She looked at him. "C-can I call you Ev?" (AN: pronounced Eevee) She smiled. "Sure." She said. "Incoming!" Jake called as he saw their tree house in the distance.
Once they got there Finn prepared a bed on the couch for Evangeline. "That should do until I can make you a room tomorrow." Finn said as he turned around to go up the ladder to the room he shared with his brother. "Goodnight" She said to him. "Night." He replied. Evangeline laid down on the couch. Slowly her eyes closed and she dreamed of Aaron, her father, and giant mushroom clouds.
Evangeline's head popped off her pillow. She was drenched in sweat and tears rolled down her face. "It was only a nightmare." She told herself. For a moment she couldn't figure out where she was. She remembered after a few seconds. She was in Finn and Jake's tree house. She knew she was safe but she couldn't stop shaking with fear. The nightmare wasn't just a dream. It was real. She saw all her friends and family perish in the war. One death being before her very eyes; her dad. She couldn't stand the emptiness and silence of the room so she slowly walked towards the ladder she had seen Finn walk up earlier. She climbed up quietly. She felt a pain in her chest. She flinched and wrapped one arm around herself holding herself up on the ladder with the other. The cut was still there. After a few seconds she continued up the ladder until she came to a room. She peeked in the room to see Jake fast asleep in a dresser drawer and Finn sleeping in a full body sleeping bag. She started having second thoughts about waking one of them. However she crept in the room anyway. She came to Finn's bed and crawled in next to him. She felt awkward and she feared he would wake up and be angry at her. She felt Finn stir and she held her breath waiting for him to yell at her. But instead she felt him pull one of the blankets over her. He didn't use them anyway. She sighed in relief and soon fell into a peaceful dreamless sleep.
When she awoke she found Finn half way out of his sleeping bag wearing footie pajamas and he had his arms around her. She blushed embarrassed and pulled away. She heard a snicker from behind her. She turned around to see Jake and Bemo stifling giggles. When they saw she was awake they both burst into laughter. Finn groaned. "Lay off Jake she was just scared." Finn said half asleep still. Evangeline blushed thinking of how childish she must have looked. Finn crawled the rest of the way out of the sleeping bag and sat up. "Are you ok?" Finn asked her. She sat up feeling really awkward. "Y-yeah. It was just a nightmare. Im ok now." She said blushing. "Good. Do you want some breakfast?" Finn offered hoping off the bed.
At breakfast
"Geez Jake you burned the pancakes!" Finn said looking at his plate. "Hey, I'm not the one who played spoons last night." Jake said sternly. Evangeline giggled but Finn's face turned bright red. "It was an accident!" He yelled. "Suuuuure it was." Jake smiled. Jake knew it had been an accident and Evangeline had just had an anxiety attack but he enjoyed teasing his brother. "Can we just not talk about this?" Finn begged. Jake laughed and sat down with another stack of burned pancakes.
