Phoebe woke up from her sleep with a smile on her face, sitting down on her bed she stretched as the events came back to her. Finn looking for her, coming with him back to the tree house and finally getting her own room.

Shaking the last remnants of sleep off her body she got up and looked around the room, it was pretty much unchanged since she went to sleep except a delicious smell came from the 2nd floor which made her stomach grumble, slowly climbing up the ladder she poked her head outside to see Finn, Jake and BMO setting up the table. Finn smiled brightly when he saw her and waved her over.

"Good morning Phoebe! you came just in time, we are about to have breakfast" Jake and BMO waved at her while Finn spoke, FP slowly walked over to the trio and looked over Jake's shoulder as he cooked a bunch of bacon and eggs. Finn caught her attention as he pointed at one of the seats "Here, I saved a spot for you" the couch was now covered with aluminum paper, giving a metallic look that reassured her that it wouldn't catch fire if she sat on it.

FP took a seat on the place Finn prepared for her while she waited for Jake to finish cooking, looking over she realised that finn had purposely prepared her a seat that was right next to where he usually sat and while the act itself didn't make it very obvious the fact that his cheeks were burning red did.

Feeling a little playful she moved a little closer to him and said "If you wanted me to sit close by you could have just asked Finn" By now Finn turned completely red as he tried to find the right words to explain himself.

"N-no no no, its not that! I mean, I don't mind having you close but i didn't do it because of that!" BMO and Jake tried to muffle their laugh as the poor human looked like he wished to be anywhere else right now. FP placed her hand on top of his and smiled at him "I know silly, i was just joking." she quickly moved her hand back not wanting to hurt the boy.

"O-oh, I knew that hahaha" Finn tried to pretend he had not been completely fooled by her just as Jake placed a pan filled with scrambled eggs and another one with bacon.

"Alright everyone, dig in!" Jake exclaimed as he placed a good amount of egg and bacon on everyone's plate, FP looked a little confused as to why would they serve BMO too but decided not to question it.

FP poked at her food curiously as she looked at how everyone else ate, Jake shoved forkfuls of the stuff to his mouth and Finn seemed to be taking his time savoring his food after each bite while BMO simply stared at his plate. It was the first time she had a meal like this, most of the time she ate the best coal to be found in the fire kingdom so her flames brightened at the prospect of trying out something new.

As she took a small bite she resisted the urge to spit it out, the food was... slimy and very greasy, the taste of it overwhelmed her senses and she hurriedly swallowed unsure of how long could she keep calm. Finn seemed to catch on to her discomfort and turned to look at her "Hey are you okay? its not that bad is it?" FP quickly composed herself not wanting to eat more or look ungrateful she simply said "Oh no no no, its fine its just... i'm not that hungry" her lie would have worked if her stomach didn't choose that exact moment to growl and betray her words.

Finn seemed confused until his eyes widened in realisation, he snapped his fingers and jumped over the table "I'll be right back!" He said leaving behind a very confused trio.

Jake looked at FP with a raised eyebrow and she shrugged in return before the magic dog lost interest and continued eating. A few minutes passed before Finn came back carrying a bunch of things on his arms, he set down all the items on a clear spot on the table before asking "Are any of these okay?" FP looked over to the items on the table, there was a piece of firewood, a pile of coal and a smaller pile of tree leafs.

"I'm not sure but... you don't eat normal food do you?" Finn asked her while she popped one of the coals into her mouth "Not really... its the first time i had a meal like this, i'm sorry." FP apologised for causing trouble but Finn quickly reassured her "Don't worry about it, you don't have to force yourself if you don't like it" He grabbed her plate and place the food back in the pan.

Phoebe and finn shared a smile before they started eating again and prepared for the day.

BREAK

"So... where are we going?" FP asked Finn and Jake after a while of walking through the forest, she had been excited when they left the house but her patience was runing thin a few hours later. Finn turned to look at her at the same time he unsheathed his family sword "We are going dungeon searching to get cool stuff for you!" he pointed at his sword as he continued "See this sword? its a demon blood sword, dad left it for us in a dungeon that he made for me and Jake" FP had to admit it was a pretty cool sword but didn't understand why did she need something like that.

"I can fight pretty well with my magic, why do I need a weapon?" She played with a fireball in her hands to prove her point but Finn simply shook his head "I'm not saying you are defenceless Phoebe but sometimes we have to be careful with colateral damage" He pointed at her fireball "You can use magic pretty well but in a fight things can get pretty tricky and if your not careful you could hurt someone" FP looked a little hurt at his words but knew finn was right, if she really wanted to change she needed more control over her actions instead of letting raw emotion control her.

"It takes a while sometimes but its worth it, we will find you a dungeon rig-" Finn couldn't finish his sentence before he tripped thanks to the skeleton of what looked like a knight, his armor was caked in rust and the bone Finn stepped on broke easily so it was easy to tell the body had been there for a long time.

Everything looked ancient except for his sword, a golden sword with runic marks on the blade that let out a powerful magic aura. Jake picked up both finn and the sword as he inspected the markings on the blade "Hmm yea, this is definitely enchanted" Gripping the handle tightly the blade was suddenly covered in flames.

FP and finn stared wide eyed at the sword as jake gave a few experimental swings, it sliced through the air with ease leaving behind a few embers that disappeared before they touched the ground. Finally satisfied he gave the sword to Finn before searching around the remains for anything else that they could take.

Finn looked back at FP and gave her a wide grin "What did i tell you? and its a fire enchantment too!" He expertly flipped the sword in the air grabbing it by the blunt side of the blade leaving the handle free so that FP could take it, Her flames burned brightly with excitement as the sword activated once she touched the handle. Her excitement keep growing as she received her first sword, now all they had to do was find a dungeon and-! "Uh phoebe? i'm glad you are happy but could you calm down please?" Finn said as he and Jake covered their faces from the heat wave that her body radiated all around her.

"Oh... i'm sorry" FP looked a little frustrated that her emotions had gotten the best of her again.

Before finn could reply another voice sounded like it was coming their way...

"ah... give her a present... when was the last time she gave me a present? what would she want? we never talk anyway..." The spider rambling was cut short when he came face to face with the trio, an awkward silence fell until the spider suddenly snapped his fingers and said "Foood! Barb has never had this much food, this will be the best present" before anyone could reply the spider suddenly turned around and shot several webs at the three adventurers, Finn and jake were pinned to a tree while the web that was aimed at FP burned to ashes the moment it touch her, the spider let out a roar as it prepared to charge.

FP looked back to see Finn struggling against the web trying to reach his sword while Jake attempted to stretch out of his bindings to no avail, finn looked up to her with a worried expression and screamed "Watch out!" Instinctively she moved to the side quickly summoning a fireball to the her left hand while she readied her sword with the other, the spider surprisingly sharp claw missed her head as she moved before placing itself between her and her friends.

"Get lost! you fire folk are no good but this two have to stay" The spider showed its sharp row of teeth in an attempt to intimidate the elemental into submission, FP growled with anger at the beast. The fireball in her hand got bigger as she prepared to throw before finn's voice echoed in her head...

sometimes we have to be careful with collateral damage...

Letting the magic attack dissipate in the air she took a moment to look at her surroundings, Finn and Jake were stuck to a tree similar to the others around them and if her attack missed she could not only hurt both of them but also set fire to the entire forest. Taking a deep breath her shaky hold on the blade stopped as she placed both hands on the handle.

The spider's patience seemed to have reached his limit "Want to fight? fine! your not going to destroy my marriage!" Moving surprisingly fast for its size the spider aimed once more for her head with its claws, crouching FP doged the claws and attempted to stab the monster in the torso only managing to leave a black spot where the heat of the blade burned the beast before it used its many legs to jump back and away from the fire.

"Ah! that really hurt" The spider stopped for a moment to rub the spot she aimed for, seeing an opportunity she quickly propelled herself using her flames and delivered a kick to the jaw of the spider sending it flying on its back "OW!" It landed with a tud near Finn and Jake and before it could get back up she jumped on top of it using a hand to hold its head down and putting her flaming sword near its neck. Sensing the bloodlust radiating of her the spider quickly pleaded "No please! im sorry, just take your friends and go!" It closed its eyes hoping for painless death before the heat vanished.

Opening its eyes slowly the spider was surprised to see the fire elemental burning the web off her friends apparently having forgotten about him.

"Phoebe you were amazing!" Finn praised FP while she finished burning the web off Jake "Yea, that was awesome princess! you kick that spider's butt" Her smile only got bigger after hearing her friends thoughts about her "C-come on guys... it was nothing special" But neither Finn nor Jake seemed okay to leave it at that.

"No way, this occasion deserves a celebration!" Jake grinned at his bro's words before replying "You thinking what i'm thinking bro?" Finn grinned back, they high fived and said at the same time "Its... Tree Trunks apple pie time!" FP laughed at the duo until a branch snapping caught her attention. The spider not dared to move, one of its legs on top of a broken branch as it tried to make his escape before the adventurers remember he was there. The trio stared at it wondering what could they do about it before it spoke "L-look guys, im really sorry about what i did and i promise to never get in your way if you let me go... i was just looking for a present for my wife... i guess even that failed uh?" Looking like a shell of its former self the trio couldn't help but to feel bad about the spider even after it tried to eat them.

Finn walked closer to it completely unnoticed as the spider continued to mumble, taking off his backpack he quickly searched for something until he exclaimed "Aha!" and placed on the spider's hand a golden tiara with beautiful ruby decorations, the spider looked shocked at the item turning its head to look betwing the human and the item several times in disbelief before he finally got an explanation "Its okay man, you don't look evil and besides you could give it a better use than me" The spider turned the tiara over in the sunlight watching it shine with beautiful colors, letting out a long sigh he looked at and finn and said "You mentioned someone named Tree Trunks?" Finn blinked in confusion before replying "Uh yea, do you know her?" The spider flinched before answering "Kind of... just, follow me" It turned around and started walking with the adventurers following closely behind it.

BREAK

Reaching a rocky area, the party of four reached a giant web placed between a wall of rock, Finn and Jake's eyes widened as they saw who was trapped in that web.

"Tree Trunks!" They said at the same time and took off in a sprint closely followed by a confused Phoebe and a sad spider.

"Oh? Finn, Jake, what a nice surprise" the senile tiny elephant seemed completely oblivious to the danger she had been in as Finn used his sword to cut the web "Tree Trunks! what are you doing this far out in the forest? you know its dangerous to come here on your own!" The human reprimanded the elephant while she simply shaked her head. "Oh don't be silly Finn, this fine gentleman was keeping me here so that i wouldn't wander anywhere dangerous on my own" She used her snout to point a the guilty looking spider behind them.

The spider seemed to shrink under the three adventurers glare "Im sorry..." It quietly mumbled as the last of his food was freed but before Finn could finish checking Tree Trunks for wounds another voice screamed behind them.

"What are you doing Ed?! the food is getting away!" Another spider slightly bigger than the one apparently called "Ed" climbed down the wall glaring daggers at her husband.

"U-uh, i know Barb but look!" Ed exclaimed as he showed barb a wrapped bundle, Barb seemed curious about the item inside as she asked him "What? what is that?" Ed excitedly handed the bundle to Barb "Its a present for you my love!" Barb blushed at her husband's words before quickly unwrapping the bundle, one of her hands covered her mouth immediately once she saw the beautiful tiara that was inside.

Ed took the tiara from her hands and gently placed it on her head "A beautiful gift, for a beautiful princess" The couple hugged lovingly and ed saw the adventurers giving him a thumbs up before quickly getting away the way they came.

BREAK

Finn, Jake and Phoebe walked back to Tree Trunks house while finn questioned TT.

"Now, what were you doin-" but before finn could finish TT looked at FP and tried to start a conversation "Hello dearie, my name is Tree Trunks what is your name?"

FP looked a little amused at how the little elephant brushed off Finn's warnings "Hehe, my name is Phoebe, its very nice to meet you Tree Trunks" TT looked at her from head to toe and nodded "You're a fine young lady, please make sure to keep Finn out of trouble dearie" Both Finn and Phoebe blushed at the implications but neither of them denied it.

"I'll make sure of i Tree Trunks, I promise" FP said sincerely as a smile appeared on TT face "Oh thank you dearie, i do worry about him sometimes with all his adventuring and fighting" Finn looked a little sad a the way he cause TT to worry about him "Don't worry TT, you know im always careful" The little elephant seemed pleased with herself as she answered "I know, i know but you can never be too careful... besides im glad that despite how busy Finn always is my boy finally found someone, young love is a beautiful thing" TT concluded and got comfortable in Finn's arms oblivius about the embarrassment she was putting the pair through.

Thankfully for the both of them Jake choose that moment to speak "And we are here!" FP looked to where he was pointing at, it was very nice little pink house with quite a few apple trees around the house and a small rose garden on the side. On that same garden there was also a pig taking care of the flowers.

"What are you doing here?" Jake questioned the pig once they got close enough, he shrugged and simply said "I never really left" TT decided to elaborate further "Mr pig has been helping me... tend to my rose garden..." The trio of adventurers pretended they didn't get want TT really meant.

"U-uh okay... TT would you mind letting us have a slice of apple pie?" Finn said as he placed TT on the ground "Thanks to the gentleman from before i couldnt start in time, give me a moment" TT walked inside the house. Once she was completely out of sight Mr pig let out a sigh before saying "Oh... i love her so much" Finn and Jake immediately freaked out while FP simply looked surprised at the sudden revelation.

"Woah! you love her!?" Mr pig's eyes widened and tried to hide the fact that he just confessed his feelings "What? no" Jake seemed unimpressed as he backed up his bro "We heard you say it" But mr pig still refused to admit it "...you're crazy" FP crossed her arms and pressed on "Come on, you did say it" Mr pig looked defeated as the sudden realisation came down on him "Oh my glob... i think i am in love with her!... but i don't know how to go about it" Finn quickly replied before Tree Trunks came out of the house "Dude just tell her how you feel" Just as finn finished talking TT came out of the house and walked over to them.

"What are you guys talking about hmm?" Mr pig faltered for a moment but recovered once Finn made some signals for him to go on, letting out a shaky breath he began...

"Ms. tree trunks... ma'am, today, I wish to speak my feelings." TT looked surprised at the serious look Mr pig had "Mr pig? what's going on?" Mr pig took a deep breath before continuing " when i see you my heart beats like a choo choo train..." The rest of his words faded into the background as Finn and Phoebe stared at each other, their cheeks slowly turning red.

When you stand near me I get so nervous I cannot move...

Finn moved closer to Phoebe and she felt her breath caught in her throat while Finn's heart was beating so fast it felt as if he had just ran all the way around Ooo...

I feel the same... i think this is what others call... Love.

Holding hands they moved even closer their faces almost touching...

What should we do then?

They stopped moving, their eyes never leaving each other as they waited for the answer...

We should hug.

And so they did, without hesitation Finn and Phoebe pulled each other closer. Phoebe wrapped her arms around Finn's shoulders and placed her head on the crook of his neck while Finn placed his hands on her waist and rubbed his cheek on the top of her head. Sadly they had separate sooner that they would have liked thanks to the ever present burning pain that appeared if finn touched her for too long.

Slowly moving away with contented smiles on their faces they missed the way Jake, TT and Mr pig stared at them while they had their moment.

"Ah... love is a wonderful thing" TT commented while leaning against Mr pig's chest, Jake felt a strange sense of pride while seeing his little bro's actions. Mostly because he knew what the way he looked at her and the way she looking at him meant... he had looked just like that everytime he first went on dates with lady, his little bro loved someone and someone loved him back. It wasn't the same childish crush he had with princess Bubblegum.

Both of them were young and a lot of things could change in an instant but he was sure this would work out, Finn always had his back whenever he needed him and Jake would offer nothing less if it ever came to that.

BREAK

After saying goodbye to Tree Trunks and Mr pig the trio made their way towards the Candy Kingdom after TT reminded them of the science music show.

"Man i cant believe we forgot about it" Finn said to his bro while holding hands with FP letting go occasionally to let the pain subside until he was okay again.

Jake waved his worries away with his hand "Its fine, its been a pretty crazy lately, we just forgot with all the excitement" The magic dog started to walk slightly ahead of the pair trying to give them some space to talk, he was sure they would have a few matters to settle.

Finn mentally thanked Jake as he moved ahead leaving him and Phoebe in private, he turned to look at her admiring the view of the Kingdom gates on the distance.

"Hey... Phoebe?" Finn said getting her attention and a beautiful smile in return "Yes?" His heart speeded up again when she looked at him making what he was about to ask come out as a mixed mess. "U-uh, stay is, you want..." His face turned red while FP giggled at his nervousness "Hehehe, im not sure i understand Finn" Finn stopped walking and stood face to face with FP, she felt a little nervous under his intense gaze until he finally spoke.

"Phoebe... would you like to live with us?" Her mind came to a halt at the sudden question "W-what? Finn... d-don't i already do?" She replied nervously but Finn shaked his head "No, I don't mean as a guest... I mean, you can live "live" at our house if you want." FP sighed and closed her eyes pondering the question.

What was there to return at? her cage? a kingdom that wanted her not as a princess but as a monster to be contained? Today had easily the most fun and happiest day in her life, adventuring, fighting, exploring and meeting new people. Things that she could only dream of back at home as she slowly wasted away trapped day after day, but now she was free! and on top of that there was Finn... the brave human hero that welcomed her into his life as she had always been there.

She opened her eyes to look at their hands, he held her hand in his as if protecting it from anything that might hurt her despite the fact that she was no doubt hurting him by simply touching his hand. Her eyes traveled back to his anxious face, he looked afraid that she might reject him... the silly boy.

Getting closer to him she quickly hugged him, stepping back and taking a deep breath trying to not heat up to much thanks to the emotions she felt at the moment.

"Of course i'll stay Finn, there is nowhere else i'd rather be..." Finn let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and smiled at FP "Hm, i have a feeling things are going to get a lot more interesting from now on" FP smiled back before replying "Yea... im sure they will" Suddenly Finn turned around and started walking the oposite way, to the tree house.

FP was surprised for a moment before simply shaking her head and moving closer to finn, he hesitated for a moment not sure if he was doing the right thing.

"Im sorry... do you want t-" FP placed a finger to his lips and smiled "Not at all... let's go back home, Finn" they walked back to the three house in confortable silence as they slowly got smaller over the horizon.

Jake simply shaked his head and smiled and resumed his walk towards the Candy Kingdom, it would not be as fun on his own but he could handle it for one day.

They had many more days ahead of them after all!
