Bubblegum's POV

the morning came, though we both never really got much sleep. I groaned and rolled out of bed sighing as Marceline got up as well. We both dressed not saying a word as I sat and slowly combed my hair. Marceline finally broke the long and grueling silence "He would be waiting for us right now..." She said half-consciously. I stopped brushing my hair setting my brush down as I got up and walked over to her. "Marceline...we'll go visit him later today ok?" She looked up an gave me a half-hearted smile as I smiled back and we headed downstairs. After a quiet breakfast we sat waiting for doctor princess to come to the castle. It was strange, even with all the help around the castle it seemed so empty. Especially without him here with a smile on his face. After a few minuets one of the guards came in with doctor princess following right behind. "Good morning princess" she said as she bowed. Marceline floated over to her in a hurry "Is..Finn ok?" She gave a smile and nodded "He is still resting in the hospital. We expect with time he will recover fully." Marceline gave a sigh of relief as Doctor princess came over to me. "Now I need to get started so show me to his room please." I scratched my head nervously as I told her I didn't know where his room was. Marceline floated over and told us that she could take us to were she found him and the doctor nodded. We followed Marceline far past the servants quarters to a small worn wooden door at the far back-end of the castle. She opened the door and we began to walk down the cold stone stairs. "What is this room?" Doctor princess asked as we walked. "Its a very old part of the castle I use to keep criminals before I built the dungeon, their were not as many back then so it was really small."

We reached the bottom of the stairs as Marceline stopped in her tracks and turned around "I..I cant go any further" She muttered as she floated up the stairs. Me and doctor princess got to the bottom and were horrified at the pool of blood on the ground. We looked and saw it was coming from a small torn up bathroom at the end right beside the stairs. We stepped over the pool of dried blood and into the bathroom where we looked around. Doctor princess was making notes as she looked over the scene, I turned and saw a small cabinet and opened it softly. Inside were Finns outfits neatly hung and folded up almost as if new. It was odd and heartbreaking seeing them so clean in such a horribly dirty place. "Surly he doesn't come all the way down here to dress.." I thought to myself as I stepped out and walked down the hall. I stopped at a small iron door at the end of the hall, I opened it and saw a small bed taking up most the tiny room. I felt the mattress which was hard as the stone of the room as I pulled off the dusty thin blanket. I couldn't stand this dirty and awful place and as I got up to leave something caught my eye. A white hat with small bear ears on it, setting at the end of the bed. I picked it up as the pain in my gut and chest began to return. Before I knew it tears were streaming from my eyes as I rubbed the hat softly with my fingers before holding it close. My awful fears were true, Finn actually lived in this horrible place. I had no idea since I never looked into were he was staying I assumed he had a room with the servants. After a moment Doctor princess stepped to the door and knocked softly on it. I stepped out were she gave a small sigh "Well from the looks of things thankfully it seems it was just an accident. It looks like he slipped and hit his head on the edge of the sink wich caused the head trauma and bleeding so it wasn't a result of abuse."

After Doctor and I finished we headed back upstairs and saw Marceline floating by the door. She floated over to me as I pulled out Finns hat. I figured she would want to hold onto it since she was the one who gave it to him for his long hair. Her eyes filled with tears as she gently took it from me, careful as if it were glass as she held it to her chest. "Marceline" I said softly as she looked up at me "Finn...he lived down there Marceline.." She was frozen as more tears streamed down her eyes "I..I didn't know.." She muttered trying to fight back her emotions. I softly held her patting her head "Me neither Marceline." I said softly. Doctor princess stood beside us both with a faint smile on her face. "Well...it seems like you both really didn't know about this. Or the true condition the boy was in. Though you have both still neglected him I feel that he maybe able to return without a doubt to your care." We both smiled softly as she fixed her glasses. "Well I have just asked the servant if they knew and she told me there hasn't been room for more help in a while so my guess is he chose to stay down there by his own accord. So first thing is first we need to find him a suitable room. One with plenty of light and all necessary utility's." I nodded and took Marceline's had as I led Doctor princess to a small hallway by the stairs to our quarters. "I reserve these rooms for diplomats from other kingdoms. Though we haven't had any in a while so they may be dusty, they are the best rooms in the castle next to ours." I opened the door to the room, it was pretty large with a small closet and a dresser and wardrobe, as well as a fully outfitted bathroom. Doctor princess looked around and smiled as she peeked out the closed curtains. THe room had a great view of the kingdom and got plenty of light and being close to our room ment he would be better supervised. "Yes this room will be great though it needs to be clean before he gets here but it will due nicely." I smiled "I will make sure to clean it myself doctor." She smiled "Now there is just the matter of his diet. What was he eating prior to the accident?" My smile quickly turned as I remembered the disgusting food from last night. "Well...in truth doctor I have made a mesh of vitamins and various nutrients but I must have made an error in its formula...I thought just one meal would do him but it seems...I was terribly wrong." Doctor princess looked at me with a frown as she wrote that down on her notebook. "He will need three meals a day. All of which will need to be fully balanced."

I nodded as we left the room "Um may we...see Finn." Marceline whispered softly as Doctor princess sighed. "Well I suppose you can as long as you don't disturb him." She nodded as we left the castle to the hospital, after signing in we made our way to the small white room were Finn was. The only sounds were the sounds of his barley beating heart on the monitor as we both sat down in the small chairs beside him. All we could seem to do was sit there quietly listening to him softly breath as the machine pumped oxygen for him. "Hi Finn.." Marceline said softly breaking the long quiet of the room. "We hope you get better soon. I know...Its all are fault that this happened. I hope you can forgive us though we probably don't deserve it. But we picked out a new room for you." At this point Marceline was in tears as she spoke softly to Finn. "Its got a great view, you can see so much of the kingdom and best of all its really close to us." She stopped wiping the tears from her eyes as I rubbed her back. "Finn we hope that you can find your way back to us" I said softly "We miss you." Marceline couldn't take much more so we decided to leave heading back to the castle. From then on every day Marceline would go and visit Finn, I tried when I could but spent a lot of time cleaning his new room which was a lot harder work than it seemed. Marceline took her guitar to the hospital and would spend most the night playing and singing to Finn. She told me that she would always notice a smile on his face when she would sing so she though It might help him wake up. After a few days his room was all ready and the kitchen was stocked with all the foods he could need. Now all that was left was Finn. It had been two weeks since he had been admitted, everyday Marceline visited each day to talk and sing to Finn and after finishing his room so did I. some of the casts on him came off showing just how badly his body was. If not for his skin and bandages he was almost a walking skeleton. His chest was wrapped in bandage as was his head though his neck arms and legs were still in casts. We both sat visiting him as Marceline floated softly beside Finn strumming her guitar. She was singing softly as tears rolled down her eyes. It was nearing time for us to leave as she finished singing wiping her eyes. She floated to Finn softly stroking his cheek as she cried "Oh Finn...please come back soon" She whispered through her tears as I put my hand on her shoulder helping her up so we could go. As we walked to the door Marceline stopped and turned around taking Finns hat which she always kept with her. She gently set it beside Finn before floating to him and kissing his cheek softly, during all this it became clear that we had both had deep down feelings for Finn that almost seemed to be sown into our own relationship. Marceline smiled as she began to turn before we both noticed something we had waited for so long for, Finn started to move.
