The third chapter, longest one so far. Enjoy.
Finn awoke on a couch in dark room with a shred of light seeping in around the edges of the curtain. Marceline had her head on his thigh is she was ever so lightly breathing. A warm smile spread across his face as Finn moved to grab a pillow to take his thighs spot underneath her head. He got up, stretching his back and neck, 'man that is one rock hard couch, I need a shower' he thought. Finn climbed to Marceline's room on the old creaky ladder, hopping into the shower. As the warm water flowed down his aching limbs and he scrubbed his ash ridden body, Marceline had woken up and was now gazing at the thin shower curtain, "and hero, don't use up all the warm water" she said floating away.
After around ten minutes of Finn waiting for Marceline to get out of the shower and to get dressed appropriately for travelling in the sun. She floated from her room to the living room and was dragging Finn out of the house by his hand "Finn just put on the cloak; we have to get to the tailor before it closes" Marceline told him.
Marceline and Finn travelled for a good hour before they saw the entrance to the Candy Kingdom. Laughing, running and talking along the way, just like old times. Finn pulled up his hood. Briefly stopped by two guards until they recognised Marceline, the two guards were then opening the gate in a flash more than enthusiastically. The pair strolled through the small city before arriving at their destination a modest pink building with a black and white sign out the front with a pair of scissors and 'tailor' written on it.
Finn pulled down his hood and was greeted by the smiling face of starchy. "How may I help you Finn." Greeted starchy
"I'd like some clothes fit for an adventurer please Starchy."
"Anything in mind Finn?" Starchy asked.
Finn walked out of the tailors shop in his new clothes, grant you they were a little different but they were comfortable. He wore a pair of black jeans, a dark grey long-sleeved shirt and a dark blue hoodie and an onyx coloured backpack to match.
Hoodie down, Marceline and Finn walk out of the tailor's shop. "After you malady" says Finn only slightly blushing. 'He seems to have forgotten about what happened to him for the past four years, which means it couldn't have been that bad. He still seems so innocent' Marceline thought to herself. Lifting her head from her thoughts she saw Finn looking at her expectantly. "Yeah Finn?" she asks.
"Do you want to go run with the wolves, or go Dungeon Crawling? The moons just about to rise" he repeated.
"Umm… hard choice, both" she stated as if it where obvious.
From the castle they bolted, Marceline flew with grace and agility, Finn running below her with ease and tremendous speed. 'Finn must have gone on some hard-core adventures for four years. Boy we sure do make a good pair though, I wonder if I could take him on a hard-core adventure.' Marceline thought to herself.
The pair arrived at the lost cliffs panting and out of breath; after a minute, still a little tired they spotted 'the wolves of the lost cliffs' a large pack of beastly, ferocious wolves. "Lets go wild" the pair screamed. Marceline and Finn sped at an alarming rate to the wolves the pack split in two. Finn turned to Marceline and nodded they each went after one half of the pack. The alpha wolf had poor memories of these two although the boy had changed the alpha wolf would never forget the sheer power of the both of them. 'He remembered the boy pouncing of him and another wolf, capturing them and then the flying, oh god the long flight towards some sort of castle and then the last thing was him been thrown into a room. It had scared him half to death, although at that time he was merely a pup'.
Then it happened again to him the man pounced and was upon the alpha male. They struggled for a minute before the wolf twisted free and ran away. The wolf ran with his tail between his then the realisation hit him, he was free and falling into a pit. Finn saw the wolf fall and heard its howls slowly dissipate into nothingness. "Marceline come here, check this out" he shouted.
As Marceline found Finn he was already lowering himself into a pit. "What are you doing Finn?"
"Adventuring I guess" he responded.
Marceline shrugged and strolled over to the pit. She heard Finn scream and was diving down the pit and into the unknown abyss within seconds. His shouts that echoed of the walls of the pit were piercing to her Vampiric hearing. "Finn STOP YOUR WHINY BABY SCREAMING IT HURTS MY EARS". She heard a slight gasp and a faint wow that hung to Finns lips not wanting to let go. "Hey Finn, what's so cool?" as she landed lightly stepping down from flight.
Mesmerised and Awestruck by the wondrous beauty of the cavern. The cavern had a high roof, the was water surrounding the roughly forty by forty-foot island, from the island fresh water spanned fifty feet towards smooth black granite. The most breath-taking property of the cavern was the plants that emitted a soft but strong, pleasant green glow that climbed from underneath the water and reached up the walls like hands lightly holding a child. They both turned to their left and saw a small water fall with water almost silently splashing into the surrounding water made the cavern 'amazing'; they both thought. "Holy glob" Finn was the first to speak what was on both of their minds.
On the Island soft grass grew almost to the edges, a small tree grew a few feet from the centre of the Island. And next to the tree lay a whimpering wolf, licking its bleeding leg. Marceline turned up and flew the fifteen feet up into the night leaving Finn confused until he remembered her blood lust and how she was probably leaving so she wouldn't hurt the wolf and more importantly him.
Finn went to the wolf were he pulled out some bandages, the wolf stubbornly tried to withdraw its weak body from Finns reach but it was too weak. The wolf sat lowly growling at Finn but Finn just started to clean the wound of the wolf that I could only have gotten from cutting its leg when it fell down the pit on a sharp rock.
After bandaging the wolf's leg, he yelled out "Marceline I've bandaged the wolf". She hovered down the hole and smiled at Finn "Thanks". "Anything for you m'lady" he said smirking. "Anything" she playfully smirked back. They both burst out in laughter "This is why I love hanging out with you Marceline" Finn remarked. "I know Finn, I love hanging out with you too" Marceline replies. They fall back on blissfully soft grass.
"Marceline?" asks Finn
"Hmm, yeah" she says turning to look at Finn.
"If we fall asleep together again, at least well be on something other than your couch, you know, something that doesn't feel like a rock and is more comfortable" Finn let out a chuckle and a blushing Marceline joined him remembering last night. 'Marceline is beautiful isn't she' Finn thought. Breaking his thoughts he heard Marceline "Talking about last night" she said moving her body closer to his warmth.
"WHAT, HIS BACK. DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?" The prim Princess shrieked.
"No I don't know where he is Princess, all I know is that he came and bought some clothes from my shop today" Starchy replied, worried for the princess.
'Okay, okay I'm sure Jake or someone will know' she thought to herself, hanging up.
The princess of the Candy Kingdom then dialled the House of Jake the dog and waited for an answer.
"Hello Jake?"
"No, I'll give him the phone" she heard
"Yeah, this is Jake, hey princess"
"Do you have any idea, where Finn is?" The princess asked eagerly.
"Yes I had a bit of a go at him when he turned up out of nowhere, and just acted like nothing happened. He is staying with Marceline for a few days while I cool down" Jake grumbled ending the call, not caring if the princess wanted anything else.
"Yes talking about last night" Finn says manning up and planting a kiss on Marceline's head. "I would've done that last night, whilst I was gone you are probably the person I thought of most, Marceline; that may have been the hormones though" he said blushing and winking at Marceline. She nodded knowingly and smirking. Just like Finn went in for his move she too made hers, bringing Finn's lips down to hers and lightly kissing him.
Hugging Finn on the grass in one of the most beautiful places in Ooo and it was all theirs. Now they had two secrets, their safe haven and their first kiss.
"Thanks Finn for coming back" Marceline said enjoying the warmth from being engulfed in his arms
If you guys are wondering why I've put P.B into this, it's because I might end up making a sequel when I finish this. Or I might end up just making this one long story, but I like the Idea of a sequel.
(If you're wondering about the result of what genre I'm going to make the story from the last chapter, I'm going to try fit in all three genres, Main genres been Romance + Adventure and a wee bit of Hurt/Comfort)
