Eventually Melissa found herself standing in front of a massive tree that seemed to have been hollowed out and built upon into a literal treehouse. Finn opened the door and her eyes widened as she was guided into an entry room filled with gold, gems, and assorted items she couldn't place. After that they climbed a wood ladder into a spacious living room area. He turned to her and grinned, revealing a gap missing a few teeth.

"Like our digs?"

She looked around at the boyish mess and strange decorations before turning back to him.

"Homey."

"Thanks! You can sleep on the couch, I'll grab some stuff."

Finn disappeared through a hole and Melissa looked around uncertainly. The house's layout didn't really make any sense from what she could see, but at least she only needed to know where a few rooms were. It was awkward intruding in their house.

Jake looked at her.

"Sooo…Ya hungry?"

"I guess so."

"BMO probably cooked something since we had to leave, you time traveling and all."

"Oh…sorry about that…"

She wondered who this BMO person was as the conversation fizzled out. Two arms grabbing her by the shoulders shocked her back into reality though, and she squeaked as she eyed an extremely excited Jake.

"So if you're the Time Princess, can you back in time and save Everything Burrito?"

"What?! No! I already told you people I'm not a princess!"

"Aww come on!"

Melissa shrugged him off and heard a laugh. Finn had returned with a pillow and blanket.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Haha you're really easy to surprise huh?"

"If you do unexpected things of course I'll be surprised!"

"Here Time-"

"For the last time, I am NOT a princess! Just call me Melissa."

"Ok, here Melissa."

Finn smiled and passed her the bedding before heading into the kitchen area.

"Woo! BMO made sassages!"

"Sassages?"

Peaking around the corner in confusion she saw an empty kitchen and a set table. Where was this 'BMO' person?

"Finn, those are sausages…"

"Yeah, sassages."

Shrugging she followed them to the table and they ate. Afterwards they declared it was late and time to sleep, so Melissa curled up on the couch as the boys vanished up that hole again. Having slept a long time already from passing out in shock earlier that day she wasn't particularly tired and quickly noticed the small footsteps heading through the room. She froze and looked around, suddenly finding the dark foreign room to be unnerving.

"Who's there?"

"Me!"

A small, green thing climbed up on the coffee table as she sat up to get a closer look.

"And you are?"

"I am BMO!"

"Oh, hello BMO."

"Are you staying with us?"

"For a little while I think..."

"Yay! A new friend!"

She smiled. He reminded her of a little kid and it made her feel more comfortable.

"You're kinda cute, you look like a really big GameBoy Color."

He slapped his hands against where his cheeks would be on his screen and little pink blush circles appeared.

"You think BMO is cute?!"

"Mhm."

"And I am a boy! And I play games, and I am a color! You are very nice!"

"Thank you BMO, I'm glad you think so."

"And I am glad you like conversations! Finn and Jake don't like conversations very much…"

"Ok then, I'll be your conversation buddy."

"Really?! Ok! Umm…"

"I'll start. Why did you cook for us and then run off?"

"Oh! I wanted to clean up the house so it would be nice for guests!"

"You're a surprisingly good host."

The two chatted for a while about random things that Melissa didn't really know how to explain, like when he asked what 'bitter' tasted like. Unable to experience three of the five senses himself she found herself explaining things like tastes, smells, and textures even though she didn't know how to. Eventually she felt her eyelids grow heavy and BMO took notice.

"Oh, you are tired. We stayed up late, like a sleepover!"

"Yeah, just like a sleepover."

"I will go then so you can sleep."

Melissa stopped him as he started to jump down.

"Would you mind staying in here?"

"Huh? Why?"

Melissa rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. She didn't want to admit this new world was scaring her senseless.

"Because…I…need a hero to watch over me and keep me safe."

BMO saluted her.

"Then I shall sleep here!"

He reached in a drawer nearby and retrieved a tiny pillow and blanket, making Melissa giggle. It was quite a sight and she realized he probably always slept on that table but was leaving to be courteous.

Laying down she finally began to fall asleep, pulling the blanket up to her chin to keep out the chilly draft in the room.
