Finn opened his door and saw Marceline outside eagerly waiting for him.
"How long have you been waiting here?" He asked.
"I just came..." Marceline said smiling.
"Well, I can't go out today, I need to babysit my 'niece'!"
"A niece? I love kids! Can I join you?"
"Of course! I'm like your biggest fan!" A voice cried.
Finn turned around and saw Rocky beside him.
"Awww! She's so cute!" Marceline squealed as she picked Rocky up.
"It'll be a secret! Please, Uncle! Please!" Rocky begged.
"Fine..." Finn answered, "Your mother finally got another key for my house so that's where we'll be going."
Finn led Marcy and Rocky to his house.
"Don't you have other things to do?" Finn asked.
"We scheduled it next week." Marcy said.
Finn sighed. He took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the front door of his house.
"Do you have any job or something?" Marcy asked.
"I'm an engineer..." Finn answered opening the door.
"Wow... Your house is so big!"
Finn sighed and walked into his house. Every part of the house was dusty. It was so dusty, the colours of his furniture looked a few shades darker.
"Woah! I did not see that coming!" Marceline gasped.
"Um... I'll tidy everything up." Finn said.
He walked in the house and grabbed a broom.
"Stupid Dust People!" Finn grumbled as he swept the floor.
Half way through, Finn was exhausted and wanted to take a break. He lied down on his sofa (that he just cleaned) and close his eyes.
"Take Rocky would ya?" A voice said.
Finn felt something a bit heavy on his lap. He opened his eyes and saw Rocky. He looked right and saw Marceline cleaning the house. Finn smiled.
"Just like the Marceline I remember..." He said softly as he watched her clean his house.
Finn put Rocky on his sofa and walked to his bedroom. There was a trapdoor in his closet. He opened it and retrieved one of Bubble Gum's inventions. He showed it to Marcy.
"What's that?" Marcy panted.
"One of Bubbl- my friend's invention. I remembered it while I was resting..." Finn explained.
"Well, I wished you remembered it sooner! I'm dying here!"
"Sorry about that."
Finn pressed a button on the invention. The dust was attracted to the machine and flew to it. Finn walked to the bin and pressed the button again. The dust fell off.
"What's that? A Dust-Magnet?" Marcy asked.
"Yep!" Finn answered as he put the machine back to where he took it.
Marceline laughed and walked to the fridge. She opened it and looked at the contents.
"What's your favourite food?" Marcy asked as she turned her head towards Rocky.
"Jelly!" Rocky cried cheerfully.
Marceline took out a packet of jelly crystals. She read the instruction on the back of the packet. She glanced at the utensils and back at the packet. She put the packet on the counter and started washing the kitchenware. A smile grew on Finn's face when she saw Marceline.
"I'll take care of the dishes, you go cook what you want." Finn said.
Marceline put the dishes down and washed her hands.
"I need a bowl, whisk, pot, spoon and some containers," Marcy said as she tore the upper part of the jelly crystals packet.
Finn handed her a sauce pan. She poured some water into it and heated it on the stove.
"This is the 'first' time I see you being so serious." Finn smiled.
"Huh? Oh! I just don't want to mess up," Marcy explained.
"Who's taking care of Rocky?"
"Rocky?!"
Marceline and Finn turned around. Rocky wasn't on the sofa Finn put her.
"Rocky?!" Finn cried running outside.
Finn looked for Rocky and found her in the park all dusty.
"Uncle! I met this person and he made me all dusty!" Rocky cried.
"Dust People! Stupid dust people!" Finn said, "Rocky, never wander off like that ever again."
"Okay! Sorry Uncle Finn..."
Finn walked back home with Rocky. When they reached his house, Marcy was done with the jelly.
"How did finish so fast?" Finn asked.
"Curious, eh? Well, I've got some help from my skeleton friends," Marcy answered.
"Skeletons? Cool!" Rocky smiled.
"Why are you so dusty?" Marcy asked.
"Dusty people covered me with their dust..." Rocky answered.
Marceline laughed and chanted a few words and a skeleton maid rose from the ground outside. It walked inside and brushed the dust off Rocky with her duster. Marcy clapped her hands twice and the skeleton maid disappeared into the ground in Finn's yard.
"That was awesome!" Rocky cried and hugged her idol.
Marcy grabbed a bowl of jelly out of the fridge and gave it to Marcy...
That night...
Marcy fell asleep on Finn's sofa hugging Rocky. Finn leaned against the wall and stared at Marcy.
"Why is Marcy there?" QB asked.
"QB?! What are you doing here?" Finn asked.
"I came to fetch Rocky. Now answer me."
"She wanted to help. It turns out Marcy was Rocky's idol. Please don't get mad!"
"It's okay. Anything for my daughter. Plus, you don't seem so sad anymore."
"Huh?"
"After her band came here, you stopped being so... sad."
"What?! No...!"
"You're starting to like her again, I can see it in your eyes."
"You're not a love detector. Plus, I promised to never hurt her again. If I get back with her, I'll hurt her. Especially if she remembers."
"Is that the reason why?"
"Yep!"
"You're hurting her by being so unfriendly and reserved. She wants to know you..."
"I can't risk it. Not again, not ever."
"Let's take them home."
Finn walked to Rocky but was stopped.
"You carry Marcy. Rocky is my daughter, I carry her." QB said.
Finn groaned and carried Marcy and walked back to the castle with QB whom was carrying her daughter.
"I never knew you'd become a tsundere... I thought only some Japanese anime characters can be." QB joked.
"What's that?"
"Search it up."
Later, they reached the castle. Finn knocked on the band's door. The door swung open and there was Cindy.
"Oh! So there's where Marcy went!" She smiled, "So, did you kiss yet?"
"Wha-? No!" Finn answered blushing.
"Ya know, she's been talking a lot about you."
Cindy put Marcy on her bed and walked back to Finn.
"Girls, we got some work to do!" Cindy smiled snapping her fingers together.
The 'Sweet and Sour' members except for Marcy followed behind Cindy. Cindy grabbed Finn's shoulders and pushed him to the wall. The bandmates started humming a tune.
"You forgot about the feeling of love, hun?" Cindy asked.
"What?" Finn said confused.
"You know, the feeling you get when you fall in love." Becka answered.
"No..."
"You're lying..." Gem smiled.
The members grabbed Finn's arms and dragged him to the park.
"The sweet smell, Ah, those days,
Where everything is full of charm and grace...
The smiles, on everybody's face,
Ah, those days,
Have you forgotten the feeling, the breeze,
When you fall in love, head over heels?
You smile, smile, all day long,
You laugh, laugh 'cause nothing's wrong,
And just seeing her face just brightens up your day," The members sang.
"You got it wrong! I don't... I..." Finn protested.
"Don't you even try to hide it,
She's can see through your eyes,
Don't even try to run away,
Because you know she's gonna pull you back,
Have you forgotten the feeling, the breeze,
When you fall in love, head over heels?
You smile, smile, all day long,
You laugh, laugh 'cause nothing's wrong,
and just seeing her face just brightens up your day!" The members continued.
"I told you, you got it all wrong! I don't like her!" Finn cried.
"Of course you don't, you love her!" Gem said pinching Finn's cheeks.
"Now tell me, why are you rejecting her?" Becka asked.
"There's somethings that I don't want to talk about." Finn answered.
"Then at least tell her how you feel." Cindy said.
"I won't take any risk..." Finn said looking away.
"Risk? What risk?" The members asked in unison.
"I don't want to talk about it." Finn said turning away and walking back to the castle.
The members sighed and ran up to Finn.
"We have a concert next week, you should come!" They smiled holding out a pass.
Finn stared at the pass. It was the VIP card. Finn sighed and grabbed it.
"Bye!" The members waved.
Finn smiled faintly and walked back home staring at the card. His mind was racing.
Trivia
The song that the band sang was supposed to be in the third chapter but I had no inspiration that time so the song ended up crappy (and is also the reason why it took me sometime to update this story)
There'll be way more songs so get ready...! Lock and Load!
