Chapter 4
FINN POV.
Jake and I were at home in the living room playing on BMO. It sure did look like Jake was having a nice time considering how badly I was losing to him because I was still messed up about what I told myself earlier. No adventuring... like ever again? I didn't know what to think. A mercenary didn't seem to be so bad at first but what can I say? I do stuff for money! I'm a thug! Ill be stopped by other heroes trying to protect that thing I'm trying to break or steal. Was that really the last solution? To become a mercenary and stick with that, doesn't seem to be the only fall back for me to go with.
"Jake can I ask you something?" I asked him
"Sure thing buddy, whats up?" He asked, still playing BMO.
"What do you think about future me?... can you believe that i'll just stop the adventuring?" I asked him. I had told jake about what F.M had told me and he freaked. He spit out his juice and almost had a heart attack, but he calmed down after...like an hour ago actually. Maybe bringing the topic back up wasn't a smart thing to do.
"Don't worry dude. You from the future came back right? That means that he obviously wants to get back to adventuring and to do that he had to fix himself first." Jake replied smiling " we'll all pitch in to help man! It's not like this'll fail"
Jake seemed pretty confident in his words so that made me confident too. I had this feeling that we were gonna fix me. I was sure of that.
F.M POV (marceline's house
"What do you mean this isn't the first time you came back to the past!?" Marceline yelled at me. She had woke up an hour ago and continued asking questions even after she had fainted.
"I feel like I shouldn't have said that... nah everything looks okay... yup everything's alright I didn't just drastically change the future. " I said, relieved that I didn't mess everything up. I still checked around in case I did mess something up "uh of course this isn't the first time I came back! What you think I stood around for five fucking years before I went back to change the past!? No! I failed four times before this!"
Shocked at my sudden anger marceline sat back down. " Four times... you tried only year before you tried again?"
"I wish I could have done it more but going in the past and back takes a lot out of the machine, so much that it takes 365 days for it to completely recharge." I said as a matter of factly. "But I also take that time to train vigorously. I became a mercenary because I knew that being the tough bastards they are, they got that tough from work. I trained almost everyday every year, completely isolating myself from friends even jake to focus on my work and training. I only coame around to see them on holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving . My birthday too but only for a little bit. Never valentines day though. I didn't see any point in it. After flame princess left me for cinnamon bun -"
"Damn that must've hurt. To get blown off for cinnamon bun? Yeesh" marceline cut in.
I glared at her for a second before I continued. " ANYWAY yeah that pretty much beat up my heart. Kinda like how princess bubblegum beat up Ricardio only with brass knuckles. I lost My cool when people started calling me 'Finn the demon boy' so I had to stay away from people because I literally almost beat someone to death because they called me that." I explained. I had pretty much told her everything I knew considering I just told her I isolated myself. "So im going to bed... if you could, do you think you could wake me up early so I can go train past me?"
Marceline stood up from my 'bed' " sure I guess." She said
"Thanks"
OooooooO
The next day
NORMAL POV
Finn and jake were sleeping peacefully until it was all ruined by F.M coming into their home a quiet as possible...or at least he tried to.
*CRASH* he used the window as the entrance.
"WAKE UP ME WE'VE GOT A HELL OF A LOT OF TRAINING TO DO!" F.M screamed.
Before finn could comprehend what was going on he was flung out the window by F.M. "WAAAAAAHHHH-" he was suddenly caught by F.M which surprised him on how fast he was to be able to catch him.
"NO GOOD! YOU'RE REFLEXES ARE TERRIBLE! YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK AND AGILE" F.M told him, still screaming at the top of his lungs
Finn was confused. Mostly because he was thrown out of a window but because jake was able to sleep through all of that and because of the fact that F.M was in the maroone footsie pajamas that they both apparently still have, except it was a little ripped and torn through do much use.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHY ARE YOU IN YOUR PAJAMAS TOO!?" Finn questioned F.M
"Why you ask? Because we have so much training to do that there is no time for changing! ALSO STOP YELLING" F.M told him.
OooooooO
Marceline was confused. Even though she was asked to wake F.M up she came downstairs to see neatly folded sheets and clothes and a note that said 'YOU WEREN'T FAST ENOUGH NOW IM SO LATE THAT I CAN'T EVEN CHANGE.'
Marceline looked at her clock "It's 6:48 a.m!... He had time to fold his clothes but not put them on? "
OooooooO
Finn was doing pushups...over hot lava rocks... with F.M on his back...who was holding a Turkey... that was stuffed with cement.
"THIS IS TORTURE! WHY ARE WE DOING THIS!?" Finn asked F.M. wondering where jake was.
"This is not torture" F.M said calmly. "This is exercise that you need to be prepared for what's to come! And don't whine about it, you still have 198 left to go!"
Finn groaned " will that be it?"
"Psssh no! After this we'll sprint to the candy kingdom with me on your back while I hold this cement turkey, run back home with me on your back carrying the cement Turkey and then repeat this with TWO cement turkeys and after that it's sword training with me and sir rattleballs!" F.M told him
Finn would've fainted but he knew that if he did, he'd have a broken back and horrible burns. Today was going to be a loooong day for him.
OooooooO
