A/N: Who else is excited for the season 3 finale, Incendium? I know I am! I wanna see who Finn's girlfriend is ;)( I already know but I still wanna see it) Poor, poor, heart-broken Finn.

Chapter 4

Princess Bubblegum pulled her pink jacket tighter around her shoulders. She glanced around the dark, murky cave. She hated being in this cave, but it was all worth it if she got to have Finn. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door of the small cottage-like house that rested inside of the cave. She tapped the door twice and it was soon opened by Marceline. "Hey Bonnie," the Vampire Queen greeted the pink Princess with a smirk while tuning her bass. "Marceline, I need your help with something," Bubblegum said, jumping straight to the point. "Something…" Marceline prompted. "Something," cue dramatic close-up on Princess Bubblegum, "Secret."

"Why does it seem that every monster in Ooo is after us today?"

Finn laughed at Jake's question. "I dunno, but I like it!" he answered. "How can you like this?" Cake asked, exhausted. "We're energetic teenagers!" Fionna answered, earning a high-five from Finn. "Well, I'm an energetic dog, but we've been running around ALL DAY!" Jake groaned, pushing the front door of the Tree Fort open. "Suck it up," Finn and Fionna said in-synch.

"That was creepy," Cake said, following Jake inside. "What?" Fionna asked. "The whole in-synch thing. It's weird!" Cake exclaimed. Finn and Fionna laughed. "That's creepy too!" Cake complained. "You guys laugh in the exact same way!" "That is kinda creepy, guys," Jake commented from the latter. "Whatever," Finn pfft'd, pushing Jake up the latter and following after him. "You guys are just jealous of our awesomeness," Fionna said once she was up the latter. "Cake! Don't get stuck!" she called to her sister.

Cake climbed up the latter and glared at her sister. "That only happened that once, okay?" she grumbled. Finn laughed. "You got stuck on a latter?" he asked Cake. "It only happened once!" Cake cried, throwing her hands in the air. "Don't worry, Jake got stuck under my bed once," Finn assured her. "Dude!" Jake called over. "I thought we agreed never to talk about that!" he groaned. Finn shrugged and said, "I was crossing my fingers."

…

A few hours later, Finn and Fionna sat curled up together on one of the many couches in the fort watching a movie on Beemo. Cake was curled up in a ball next to Fionna, and Jake was on the floor in front of Finn, mad that his seat had been taken by a girl.

Finn had one of his arms around Fionna, and she was leaning into him, half-asleep. She yawned quietly, and snuggled into him. "I'm sleepy," she mumbled. "I can tell," Finn whispered to her. She smiled slightly and let her eyes close. "Night," she whispered. "G'night," Finn whispered back, planting a kiss on the top of her head.

"Where's Fionna?" Prince Gumball demanded. "I've scanned the entire castle, and I can't find her anywhere!" "I don't know, but I have a clue," Princess Bubblegum answered gloomily. "Guess who else isn't here," she hinted. Gumball narrowed his eyes. "That boy." It wasn't a guess, or a question. It was a statement.

Bubblegum nodded. "He's not here either," she said. "That means they're together," Gumball growled. "Not necessarily," Bubblegum said, trying to be optimistic. "They could have gone out at the same time, but went different places," she offered. "Bonnie, stop. You know that they're together," Gumball said, turning to face the pink Princess. Has she always been this…pretty?

The next day was pretty uneventful. No monsters, no ninjas, no Princess-nappings; pretty much the opposite of the previous day. All in all, it was pretty boring. Finn and Fionna sat around and played Beemo all day while Jake played his viola and Cake played her violin. "Do you wanna go for a walk?" Finn suggested, searching for anything to break the boredom. "Sure," Fionna agreed, hopping to her feet and tugging Finn after her.

"Jake! Fionna and I are going for a walk." Finn called from the door. "Okay. Be back soon, I'm making spaghetti for dinner!" Jake called, not putting his viola down. He watched the two humans walk away hand-in-hand through the window. He smiled as he saw the two pull out their swords simultaneously whilst still keeping their fingers interlocked.

Jake waited an hour before he started making dinner. He was putting the spaghetti in a pot to boil it when Cake came in the kitchen. "Where are Finn and Fionna?" she asked. "They went for a walk," Jake shrugged. "When?" the white cat asked, her dangerous blue eyes narrowed. "Eh, about an hour ago," Jake said, turning the stove on. "If that boy hurts my little Fionna, I will kill you both," Cake threatened. "I'm gonna take a cat nap now," she said cheerfully, as if she hadn't just threatened Jake. "Wake me up when they get home!" Cake called, jumping on one of the couches.

Jake laughed and continued making dinner. After about an hour, it was done. He walked over to the window, hoping to see Finn and Fionna walking up, but saw nothing. He began to worry. He picked up the wall-phone and called the one Finn always kept in his backpack. It rang a few times, but Finn never answered.

Now Jake was worried. He knew better than to wake Cake and tell her that neither of the young teens had returned from their walk, so he snuck past her sleeping form and went out in search of them.

He remembered they had gone in the direction of the Cotton Candy Forest, so he started there. It was too dark to see if they had left any footprints, so Jake followed his nose, searching for the two blondes.

After a few minutes, he heard voices.

"Dude, that hurts!" it was Fionna.

"I know, I'm trying to do it quickly so it stops hurting!" that was Finn.

"Just get it out!"

"If I just pull it out, it'll hurt more!"

"DUDE, stop doing that!"

"Look I know you probably haven't done this before, but I have and I know that if you do it quickly it hurts less!"

"Really? You've been in this exact position?"

"No, but I was playing around with Marceline once and this happened,"

Jake was disturbed. Surely they weren't...

"Great, now you got it stuck!" Fionna sounded annoyed

"If you would stop wiggling, it wouldn't be stuck, now would it?" Finn retorted.

"Hey, it's your fault it's in there in the first place!"

Jake was absolutely mortified. He ran all the way back to the Tree Fort without stopping. He ran inside and slammed the door, not caring if Cake woke up. He ran upstairs into his and Finn's bedroom and hid under his blanket. "This isn't happening! This isn't happening!" he kept repeating to himself.

...

About a half-hour later, the two Humans returned. "We're home!" Finn called. Jake's head popped out from under his blanket. He ran down the latter and straight into Finn, who was coming up. "Finn!" Jake exclaimed. "Jake!" Finn called back. "Meeting-upstairs-NOW!" Jake demanded, stretching his arms out and wrapping them around his brother. He yanked the boy roughly up the latter. "Ow, hey!" Finn complained. "What the hey-hey!"

"What did you do to Fionna?" Jake demanded, turning on Finn. Finn's eyes widened. "Whoa, what's with you?" he asked, scared at Jake's tone. "Stop avoiding the question! What did you do to Fionna?" Jake pressed. "Nothing!" Finn exclaimed. Jake narrowed his eyes. "I heard you guys in the forest. You were doing something to her!" he exclaimed. "Uh yeah? She got her foot stuck in a hole and I was helping her get it out," Finn explained.

Flashback!

"It's getting dark; we should probably go home," Fionna suggested. "Yeah probably," Finn agreed. "Or..." he smiled and pulled her against himself. He pressed his lips to hers and she smiled. She wound her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. "Cake is going to kill you," Fionna mumbled against Finn's mouth. "Let her kill me. As long as I can be here with you now," he whispered back, not sure where the line came from. This is how it's supposed to be the Voice growled. Fionna stepped back, and Finn stepped forwards, not wanting to lose contact with the girl. This was her plan, to get him as close as possible. She took another step back, Finn another forward. They continued this little step-dance for a minute, until Fionna stepped in a hole and fell backwards.

"Ah!" she cried, grabbing Finn's shirt in an attempt to stay upright. She just ended up pulling him down with her.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Finn exclaimed, getting to his feet and offering Fionna his hand. She grabbed it and answered, "Yeah, I'm fine." Finn pulled the girl to her feet, but she couldn't get much farther than that, due to the fact that her left foot was stuck in a hole. "Aw dangit!" she groaned. She tried pulling her leg out, but it wouldn't budge.

"Here, let me help you," Finn offered. He started pulling on her leg, but it wouldn't move. "Dude! That hurts!" Fionna exclaimed when Finn twisted her foot around in attempt to loosen it from the roots it was tangled in. "I know, I'm trying to do it quickly so it stops hurting!" Finn said, feeling bad about hurting Fionna, but knowing that it was the easiest way. "Just get it out!" Fionna groaned. "If I just pull it out it'll hurt more!" Finn said, frustrated. He was still trying to twist it free. "DUDE, stop doing that!" Fionna exclaimed as she felt her ankle pop. "Look, I know you probably haven't done this before," Finn started calmly, "but I have, and I know it hurts less if you do it quickly!" "Really? You've been in this exact position?" Fionna challenged. "No," Finn admitted, "but I was playing around with Marceline once and this happened."

Finn bent down and Fionna placed her hands on his head to steady herself. He reached in the hole and started to losen the dirt around Fionna's foot. "Ow!" Fionna complained, jerking away when Finn's fingers touched the now bruised skin of her ankle. "Great, now you got it stuck," she complained as she felt her foot lodge deeper into the soil. "If you would stop wiggling, it wouldn't be stuck, now would it?" Finn retorted, annoyed. "Hey, it's your fault it's in there in the first place," Fionna snapped.

Don't fight her, tell her she's right, Voice demanded. Finn sighed and straightened up. "Your right," he admitted. Fionna's annoyed scowl melted into a small smile. "This might hurt a little," he said, before reaching under her arms and jerking roughly. Her foot dislodged from the soil and she sighed. "Thanks," she said, wincing as she put weight on her foot. She pecked him on the cheek and he wrapped his arms around her. She sighed and melted into the boy in front of her.

(2/14/12) Happy valentines, guys. I just wanted to clarify that I DO know that Cake plays a dulciemer but as stated in one of my other stories, I don't know enough about dulciemers to have her playing it. And I saw Incendium last night. It was kinda dissapointing...but kinda amazing. Okay, thats all.
