Awkward. This the position the three of us are in right now, I don't know what happened between the two of them and I don't really want to find out. Something tells me that mot only Ooo has changed when I was gone but so did my closest friends.
"Well... um... how are you, Finn?" Bubblegum asks, the two of them at my side as we drink orange juice that Marceline recently bought. "I mean, how are you feeling." She adds, scooting closer to me.
"I am a bit tired..." not physically, but emotionally. Dealing with Marceline already takes a till on me. Maybe because back in Themyscira I really didn't have to deal with this kind of things. My social status there was high, being regarded as a hero and all, but I've never have to deal with my emotions.
These two people beside me have a past with me. I both liked them before, I still do now but not like like kind of thing. Maybe I still do, I don't know, I've never been so confuse in my life. Marceline and Bubblegum acting like I'm some 'special person' who they both have lost, yet even before my acccident with Lich they still never showed that they have feelings for me.
"Oh." Was all she could say, I didn't mean to be rude and all but these two never got along that well like I have to the both of them.
"It's okay, Bubblegum." I raise my hand, she seems hurt by what I said. "Tell me what happened to Ooo?" She always keep things professional back then, especially when I told her I really love her just before my final clash with Lich. She shut me down, saying that I am too young and I should really focus on the evil we were about to face.
She mutters something but quickly shook her head "It's really bad. Somehow, peace is still going on, but we are on the verge of war." She says, it must be taking a lot in her as well. "Well, heroes everywhere showed up after..." she glance at me "But they were all defeated in different ways. That's when the symbol you have created started to crumble down."she explains everything to the two of us. Marceline has her arm lock with my left arm and Bubblegum's hands rubbing my right hand. It felt so good, but hurt as much.
"Ice King was really depressed, Finn. He's still the guy who likes to marry princesses with force, but he even so, he saved lots of people with his magic." Bubblegum says, even I knew Ice King was a really good guy, he just have some issues with his loneliness. While I was still a kid back then, I always had Jake with me.
"How is he?" No, I stop Bubblegum. I'll just have to visit Ice King later. She then tell me, that she did everything she can along with other kingdoms help, Ooo has maintain its order and peace.
"As you know, the Candy Kingdom is the unofficial capital in Ooo." I nod at this "My Gumball guardians have been a great help preventing evil from spreading. Their presence alone is... scary to all of evil. But there are forces that can easily destroy them." She says, I don't really like where this is going. "The Gumball Guardians are inactive, Finn. No one still knows, but I doubt that secret would last forever."
"What!? Why?"
"I don't know, Finn. I've tried doing everything but they're not moving or alive at all."
"I... since when?" I know for a fact that the Gumball Guardians are one of the most powerful creatures I've met. They're not on par with Marceline or her dad, but still, they are really strong and huge.
"I don't know that too... when I came to check on them, that's when I knew"
"That's when she got all crazy about you..." Marceline interjects, I don't know what she means by that but Bubblegum glares at her. She responds by leaning her head in my shoulder.
Looking at Bubblegum for an answer but she remained quiet. Heavy rains pours outside, creating a background noise which I find to be quite peaceful. It's not the scary kind of rain, but it's strong.
"After you died, we all have some kind of mechanishm that we did to either forget or remember you," the way she says that, the sweet alluring voice that I've always searched for when I was still young. It still have an effect on me, yet, there's something pulling me. It's something cold, red, and the scent of strawberries overwhelms me. "Marceline lives here, something to remember you by. Jake and his family moved out of Ooo and became some kind of heroic family. Ice King with his 'Superhero' gig and being a villain at times. And I with my kingdom to take care of." Oh. The usual Bonnie. "I start-"
"She started creating soldiers." I look at Marceline, her eyes shut as she continues to talk "With both of your DNA on the soldiers, she had them called her 'Mother' that's also the time Ooo started falling." She shrugs, if she knows so much about Bonnie why is the two of them acting like this? She must hang out a lot with Bonnie.
I didn't want to question them that. They'll tell me when they are ready.
"I.. It's f..for heroic DNA, Finn." She laughs nervously. "E..everyone in t...the Candy Kingdom is my children." She mutters, but Marceline laughs referring to something as 'What about that thing?' I've never seen Bubblegum this flustered and angry at the same time.
I let it go, this is turning into a baby fight.
"I need some time alone, and I think you two have something to talk about." Opening the door, the rain immediately wets my clothes. Personally, I don't really care much about my feelings for them. I don't want to get hurt like that again, I can handle physical pain but I don't think my heart can handle it anymore. I don't want to assume that they're all clingy and mushy because they suddenly realized they love me or something. They made it clear.
Glob.
Thank glob it's raining... because I don't know if I'm crying or not.
A little walk to the woods cleared ny mind, I think I've been gone an hour or two. I think that's also long enough for them to talk it out.
As my tree house comes to my sight, I can see group of people with their swords drawn. Are they like some candy knights or something? I can see candy substances on their body but it's mix with metal.
I have my sword with me and I hope I can take them out quick and quietly.
"Psst." The first knight look, the other two enters my home and only three of them are left outside... well, two now.
"What the!?" I am already within range on the next knight as my knee came in contact with his chin. It hurts, there's a metal part ob their heads like helmets of true knights. Purposefully throwing my sword to miss the knight by an inch, I am able to distract him as he looks at the blade that almost took out his life.
I hit his neck which is really like mine, soft and easy to break. He falls down on the floor unconsciously. Entering the house, the two knights have faster reflexes, they were surprised but still calm not to panic.
I can't see Bubblegum or Marceline. They must be upstairs, meaning they are still safe and sound. Our swords clashed, but... this is too easy. These are men clad in their iron armor yet I move faster, strike harder, and dodge gracefully. These men are no match for me, let alone the Amazons who has been training all of their life.
Both men on the floor "FINN! STOP!" Bubblegum screams at me, running down the floor with Marceline. She quickly checks the candy people clad in armor, as Marceline hugs me. I really didn't know why.
Bubblegum explains that this is her new guards. "The Candy Knights." She says.
"Finn? You mean this is our father, mother?"
"What."
