Pb giggled to herself as she saw the confused look on Finn's face. They made it to the booth where the princess leaned her neck of the warm window, Finn sat across from her taking the menus from the blonde waitress's hand.
"What drinks could I get for you two?" Pb lifted her head to Finn then laid in back again struggling to fight the drossiness the sun was creating.
"Well, ermm. Just some lemon water please, for us both."
"I'll be back to take the rest of your orders." The blonde smiled before walking away not bothering to write down the drinks.
"Oi!" Finn shoved the princess abruptly waking her from her daydreams. "What do you want to order? They have a breakfast menu but the cakes, and deserts sound amazing." She saw how memorised Finn was in the food she realised she hadn't even looked at the hers.
Her eyes looked over all the decadent foods pictured in the menu next to the descriptions. She flipped through the pages when she found the small breakfast menu. Listed across the page were hot meals; bacon and eggs, pancakes covered with different toppings and sauces, and huge meals jumbled together.
"I'm getting the five star breakfast." Finn called as he finally put his menu down. Pb looked at her menu to see what the meal involved, Eggs, Bacon, sausages, French toast, and an assortment of breads.
"I feel like something sweeter, I'm getting the pancake stacker. Six pancakes covered with different berries and sauces. Plus I might get a berry smoothie too." Finn opened his mouth to make a comment at the princess but was interrupted when the blonde walked to the table again, her face concentrated on the jug of lemon water and cups balancing of her tray.
"Are you ready to order?" The waitress asked as she set down the drinks her face tight from the smile on her face.
"Um yeah, I'll have the five star breakfast, and she'll have a Pancake stacker with a berry smoothie." Finn replied to the waitress after nodding.
"Yogurt or soft serve in the smoothie?"
"Yogurt." Pb replied sculling down a glass of lemon water.
"I'll have that to you as soon as possible." She walked off bouncing with every step as Finn watched her turning his to look over the booth. Before he got interrupted by Pb kicking his leg.
"Sorry it was reflex." She smiled slurping through her straw. "We're here and not overly busy so please tell me where you've been?" Finn swallowed hard before speaking again.
"One night seven years ago I had this dream. I saw this whole land in a bird's eye view; everything was frozen over, but then I started to zoom in. when I zoomed in everything turned to fire, I felt my whole body start to heat up. There was whispering it sounded like your voice." Finn looked up to the princess and she saw the fear in his eyes. She reached over to grabbed his slightly sweaty hand. He smiled at her before taking another drink, his voice becoming dry and rough. "The voice was whispering many things I could only make out a few words. You've failed me, this is all your fault, this was something you could never handle, you've failed her. You've failed her was the last thing I heard before the scene changed and I saw Marcie's body perched on a wooden spike. In my dream, I run up to her, I softly shake her scared that I'll hurt her – she doesn't move." Finn could see the sweat that was dripping from Finn's forehead. "I wake up after I see her body, but it was like the dream hadn't ended. Everywhere I looked there were flames, my body was hot. I don't grab anything before I run, I squeeze my eyes shut because every time I opened them I was flinged into a hot hell. I ran to the boardwalk by the beach, I was running and couldn't control my body so before I knew it I was tangled in robes on the docks. My body was launched into a boat and the force from my fall forced the boat out to sea, I hit my head and I was knocked out. However the reason I was gone for seven years is because I met a master – he gave me these." Finn pulled away from Bubblegum before retrieving a pair of chucky gloves. Pb grabbed the gloves examining the strap on the top of the glove that would rest on the wearer's wrist. It held a little emblem, a black piece of marble that had an abstract flame carved into it.
"What do these do?"
"They give the wearer the power to control the element carved into emblem held of the strap of the gloves."Pb's mind overran with ideas of creating gloves to match these, and how'd the power worked.
"The way you explained that makes me think there's more." Finn smiled before taking the gloves back.
"That would be correct. My master and I did try looking for more during my training but we failed." Finn's voice went slight solemn.
"Seven years of training.. did he give you any clues of what your dream might of meant?" Bubblegum stated before meeting the rest of the lemon water into her cup.
"He said my best chance of finding out what exactly it might mean would involve talking to Marcie. He said since she's a vampire it might be some sort of ritual, as I did see her body speared by spike, it basically says she's the main focus of my dream. However, I heard your voice; he believes that you're involved."
"So he believes all that might be a premonition?" Bubblegum felt her body tense at what her future might hold.
"He doesn't doubt it, that's all I really can say. As you can see this is why I was cautious of telling anyone it's a lot to process, however knowing my past of getting involved in these sorts of things I'm starting to believe it might happen." Pb started to laugh before resting back in her chair.
"Well knowing your past we'll beat it, we'll overcome this, you'll overcome this like you always do." He smiled at her before feeling a calm he hadn't felt in the last seven years. "Plus you're stronger now." She winked before sculling the last of her drink, looking past Finn. Finn followed her eyesight to the waitress carrying a large tray of food heading their way.
"Here you go guys, is there anything else I could help you with?" They both stared at their food drooling, before thanking the waitress.
"Time to dig in!" Finn called, Pb nodding along.
"So I guess you'll be leaving now?" They'd finished their meals and were standing outside taking in the heat of the midday sun.
"Well I'll leave here to Jake, then to Marcie. I need to explain everything to them as well, but don't be too sad I'll be back this time – I'm not going to disappear again I'm going to be a walk, ride, or call away." Pb felt her chest tighten as she thought of Finn disappearing again.
"What if I come with you? My people don't depend on me as much anymore and I feel like this is the beginning of an adventure. If I left you you'd come back and fill me in on the details but it be in as much detail if I was there to hear it." Finn smiled then pretending to look like he's thinking the idea over.
"I don't mind but it might be boring at the beginning."
"I highly doubt it; I don't want to miss you and Jake crying over your reunion plus Marcelin punching you in the face." They both giggled, before Finn turned to face the prince.
"Are you ready to enter the world of adventuring and become my new partner? If I have another dream and feel like disappearing for seven years again you'll be forced to follow!" his voice was slightly monotone as he tried to act the part of a game show host, but what he was saying appealed to Pb on a level she never thought about before. She took Finn's hands and saw a wave of confusion cross his face.
"I princess Pb hereby become your new partner. You must live by the subjects you mentioned in your speech. That means no leaving me behind!" She turned on her monotone voice to match Finn's while an adventurous smile crossed her face.
"Deal, I promise. However, I don't know exactly what my plans are yet. I could talk to Marcie and maybe no new information will come up. The dream could just have been a dream after all." His head fell to his knees while Pb just shrugged.
"Then we'll go look for adventure! We've entered a new age. You're officially a full time adventurer. We'll travel to new lands, you can introduce me to your master, you can showed me where you've been the last seven years. There's lots to do, but we start with visiting old friends and family." Finn looked up feeling inspired as they walked towards the kingdom gates.
