Chapter 3: Reconcile

AN: didn't even take 2 Years this time. Also ft. Lost in you by three days grace.

As Marceline left she began immediately thinking of everywhere Finn could be, she checked the Candy Kingdom, his "secret pool", and even the Ice Kingdom before deciding there was only one place to check. While rushing past the mountains on the way to her house, she saw a small figure sitting on the edge of one of the cliffs. Not wanting to leave a stone unturned, she began to approach the figure as it eventually became Finn, he seemed to be deep in thought. Marceline, not wanting to disturb him, crept closer and closer as she began to hear him talking to himself "It's all my fault, she hates me." "She hates me." He repeated over and over. As Marceline began to step forward to comfort him he suddenly stood up. Stopping, she watched as Finn peered over the edge for a moment before smoothly stepping off, determined to end himself in hope of atonement for a crime he didn't commit.

Marceline stared dumbfounded for a second before rushing forward at full speed. She grabbed Finn and held tight to him and began to apologize profusely for blaming him. He simply stared back with a catatonic but seemingly understanding expression. As she sat down on the cliff, she continued to hold Finn. Finn slowly turned his head toward her and asked, "Why did you save me?" "Because we're friends dummy." Marceline replied, trying to make him laugh. "But l hurt you." "No you didn't Finn, that was all other people in the past." "Still, why didn't you just let me drop? It's not like anyone really wants me around." Marceline was surprised and scared at this side of Finn she hadn't seen before, "What do you mean? Plenty of people want you around!" She said, raising her voice a bit in desperation. "Like who?" He said emotionlessly. "Like Jake, and Bubblegum, and… and me!" She said, stammering while trying to hold back tears. "Everyone just thinks they want me." Said Finn, "They think they want me because they don't know the real me." Marceline looked down at him, "What do you mean, I️ know lots about you, we're best friends!" "Sorry, but no one knows the real me." Finn replied, looking remorsefully off into the distance. "Then show me who the real Finn is!" Marceline cried, no longer able to stop the tears from flowing. "I️ can't, if I️ did, you would hate me." "No, I️ want to be friends with the real you, to be close to the real you." Finn simply looked into Marceline's eyes with a look of pure pain and sorrow.

Gathering herself, Marceline began to sing, "I always knew that you'd come back to get me

And you always knew that it wouldn't be easy

To go back to the start to see where it all began

Or end up at the bottom to watch how it all ends

You tried to lie and say I was everything

I remember when I said "I'm nothing without you"

I'm nothing without you

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you

Let me inside

Let me get close to you

Change your mind

I'll get lost if you want me to

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you

You always thought that I left myself open

But you didn't know I was already broken

I told myself that it wouldn't be so bad

But pulling away it took everything I had

You tried to lie and say I was everything

I remember when I said "I'm nothing without you"

I'm nothing without you

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you

Let me inside

Let me get close to you

Change your mind

I'll get lost if you want me to

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you

In you

The pain of it all, the rise and the fall

I see it all in you

Now everyday I find myself say

"I want to get lost in you"

I'm nothing without you

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you

Let me inside

Let me get close to you

Change your mind

I'll get lost if you want me to

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you"

"Marcy… that was beautiful. Is that how you really feel?" Marceline, starting to tear up again, said,"Of course Finn, I love you!" She finished, almost yelling at this point. "I love you more than anyone else I've ever known, I'm so, so sorry for everything I've done to you! Finn, somewhat surprised at his usually calm and collected friend in tears above him, softly replied, "I love you too Marcy."
