The room had settled with many people leaving, now only close family of the two are in the ceremony hall speaking, Finn and Flame princess are alone outside watching the stars, Flame P notices the look of worry on Finn's face.
"Finn we will be leaving soon so you don't have to worry about that, if it helps I had fun today" she smiles softly.
"Oh, no I'm not worried about anything, nothing up" Finn smiles, "I'm going to quickly get something before we leave can you wait here?"
Flame princess nods and Finn runs off into the chapel , moving through each room Finn searches through the halls, finally Finn arrives on a large balcony surrounded by many plants, near the centre is a red flower with orange tips, the stem is covered in thorns, Finn runs to the flower picking it from the garden and smiles.
"Flame princess will love this" he looks around "id better hurry".
Finn again running through the maze of halls when suddenly crying can be heard from one of the closed rooms, Finn enters the room to see Gabriella in the corner crying, Finn looks down then knocks on the frame.
"Why are you crying Gabriella" Finn looks into her eyes "are you lost too, you don't have to cry we will find out way out".
Gabriella giggles wiping her tears away, she stands moving towards Finn, then sits down next to the door.
"You love Flame princess a lot don't you" she smiles "I can tell because even tho she is made of flames you still choose to be with her, I think that if her touch killed you, would you still love her?" he nods, Gabriella looks down "that right Finn, you would".
Finn nods then sits beside her "I don't understand everything about how I feel, but I know that I want to be with Flame princess, and it makes me happy to be with her"
Gabriella shakes her head "what if you couldn't have her, you could see her everyday but never be seen in her eyes. No matter how much you loved her" a tear falls down her face.
Finn strokes his chin "that is a hard one, I mean before Flame princess I was in a situation like that, but it was just a stupid crush, I don't think I could bear that with Flame princess" Finn looks out the window "no I wouldn't let it happen, if there was something stopping me id have to crush it" he smiles "lets go back to everyone else" Gabriella nods.
They arrive at the entrance to the chapel where Flame princess, Peppermint and Princess Bubblegum are waiting for Finn's return, they all smile at him then Finn runs to Flame princess.
He holds out the flower in the hand, the thorns digging into his hand, "I thought you would like this Flame princess" he smiles holding it out.
Flame princess begins to smiles but stops seeing blood drip from Finn's hand "Finn that flower has thorns, don't hold it so tightly" she reaches out to his hand but Finn pulls away.
Finn still smiling "don't worry ill put this in some water when I get home, it wont last forever but it will last longer"
"Why do you want something that hurts you, why cant you just let go if it hurts" she falls to her knees.
"The pain of being without it is more than the pain from touching it, I can take the pain" he smiles and placed the flower in front of her "sometimes the most beautiful flowers have thorns, you just have to find a way past them" Finn sat in front of her smiling "we should go home now".
Flame princess nods then stands "don't you need your sword".
"There are some guards down there, we can ask them about it" Finn and Flame princess made their way down the stairs.
Pb and Peppermint were already seated in the carriage, Gabriella is waiting near the stairs along with three guards, one of the guards is snickering at the one in the centre, he has his arms crossed angrily looking away from the other two, Finn and Flame princess reach the bottom of the stairs and see them.
"Oh boy its your" the first guard says, "I'm hope you enjoyed the wedding I know this one did" he laughs again "only woke up 20 minutes ago, anyway here is your blade, hope it serves you well" they nod and Finn takes his blade.
"Yeah thanks for holding it" Finn walks to the carriage and opens the door for Flame princess "after you princess" she smiles then enters.
The sun rose above the Grasslands shining into Finn's room, Jake had already woken up and was making a ruckus downstairs, Finn makes his way into the room to see Jake and Lady putting together a sign, Jake looks up to see his brother and quickly covers it with his body.
"Finn you cant see this, go play Beemo or something" jake looks down then at Lady "don't ruin it bro" Finn nods confused then moves back up stairs.
After making breakfast Finn was aloud back down stairs, with all of the arts and craft supplies being hidden away, both Jake and Lady giggle as he comes down stairs.
"Good luck at the 'Feats of Strength'" Jake laughs then points to the poster, "we will reveal that when your fighting, but go now cause were going to meet you there" Jake smiles then so does Finn.
"I'm so excited jake its going to be awesome, cant wait to show off my skills" Finn jumps punching the air "I'm only worried there will be something I don't get like science" Finn walks out the door waving to Lady and Jake.
Finn arrives to see many people heading into the candy kingdom, entering the hall he see's Pb writing down the numbers of contestants, seeing Finn she gestures to the seat next to her, and continues writing.
"So what is all the commotion for, I didn't expect this many people" Finn smiles then looks at her pad "not that many people are fighting?"
"No Finn out of those who came to the wedding, many are to old or to royal to participate" she looks down at the pad again "as you can see the cloud and fire king are participating, along with their heirs, that's just tradition don't worry chances are you wont end fighting the kings, that's a bit much".
"To bad id love to go up against them, it would be awesome" Finn jumps up kicking the air.
Pb nods and writes the final name, "only people on this list can participate in tomorrows event, although everyone can be a part of the final tea ceremony" Finn frowns.
"I'm not to into tea but the rest sounds good, what are we doing first" standing up Finn takes out his sword "am I allowed weapons?"
She nods then puts her board down "today is based around obstacles and challenges, this is the traditional cloud peoples day for weddings, but tomorrow is the day for the flame kingdom theirs is a direct combat where any means is allowed, except killing the losers" she giggles, "you must be excited Finn, you haven't even looked around for Flame princess yet"
Finn frowns, "I don't want to see her yet, I want her to see me in the event, it will be more exciting".
The events begin with Peppermint butler as the announcer reading out the contestant, "The people competing are as follows, The king of the Flame kingdom, the king of the Cloud kingdom, the prince of the Cloud kingdom, the princess of the Flame kingdom, the princess of the Candy kingdom, Finn the human and Lumpy space princess" clearing his through Peppermint continues onto the events "the first of two events is a simple test, each person will receive 3 questions, each tailored to a different important duty of Kings, please be seated and prepare to begin" all of them sit, Finn sighs looking down at a pen.
Jake and Lady are in the stands "poor Finn has to put up with these kind of test, I think we will hold off our poster until something exciting comes up" Lady nods.
The Flame king looks towards the cloud "you know if you wanted to question me as a king you could have come right out with it, I'm sure you don't enjoy this either"
The cloud king snickers "if I thought you any less of a king I would own your lands, besides I didn't plan this its tradition, the questions are not my own either" they both laugh then grab their pens.
The first question is straight forward, 'if your people are starving which is the best option to fix it?
(a)Wait until the crops mature again and hope the harvest is better this year.
(b)Attack a nearby kingdom taking what ever supplies you can muster and leaving them to starve.
(c)Ration the food between all of your peoples regardless of class.'
The second question asked 'War has broken out between your kingdom and a close kingdom, the other kingdom had offered a truce on the grounds that half of your kingdom goes to them, what would you choose
(a)accept their terms and hope the truce lasts
(b)accept but offer different terms
(c)attack them without responding'
The third and final question asks 'A man has been convicted of murder of a royal, all other royals are for his execution but you know that he is innocent, what will you do
(a)Execute him immediately
(b)attempt to persuade the royals otherwise
(c)give the choice onto another royal, freeing yourself from responsibility
After all questions are don't Peppermint addresses the people "I am to understand the kings wish for the young royals of candy flame and cloud to have their answers read out and compared, I'm sure there are no problems" Pb and Fp shake theirs heads.
Cp laughs "father I'm alright with your decision but I want Finn to be compared also" his father nods "good then it is all settled"
Peppermint reads out the first question and moves to their answers "first question the Cloud prince answers B attack a nearby kingdom".
"That's my boy" the cloud king exclaims.
Peppermint continues "Next is the Flame princess, she answered B also" The Flame king nod and smiles at her, which she immediately turns away.
"The Candy princess answered C ration the food between all of your peoples" she smiles and nods
"That's all well and good for candy people but you don't have to keep the status quo with them, they are food either way" the Flame king interjects, which causes Bubblegum to frown.
Peppermint smiles at her "last is Finn the human, he answered A".
Both kings laugh in unison "boy when it comes to something as important as food you cannot wait for better crops, you have to act that or turn in your crown" the flame king yells.
Peppermint reads the second question, then reads their answers "second question the Cloud prince answered B" everyone is silent as Peppermint moves to the next "Flame princess answered C" a smirk can be seen on Flame kings face "Princess Bubblegum answered B, and finally Finn answered C" Flame princess looks back at Finn and smiles.
"See even the human knows that there is no negotiation, they only offered the truce so that when you become weak they can finish the job, you must fight on, at least he knows the uses of fighting" the Flame king smiles at Finn, he looks down hiding his smile.
Peppermint reads out the finally question to everyone "Cloud prince answered the final question as A" Cloud king smiles leaning back "Flame princess answered C" Flame king laughed a little and stood up from his chair "the Candy princess answered B" she smiled and so did Peppermint "Finally Finn answered, well I'm sorry Finn but you cannot make your own answers" Peppermint scratches his head.
Laughing the kings both look at Finn "I answered the questions like I was a king, I assumed a king is the one who makes the rules" Finn stands up smiling, both kings cease laughing.
The Cloud king stands and looks at Finn "read his answer I'm sure everyone wishes to hear"
Peppermint sighs and takes a breath "Finn answered D 'free the man, I know he is innocent so it is my duty to protect him from those who wish to frame him, if the royals have a problem ill have to remind them I am king" the room is silent, Jake and Lady look confused and quietly stare at Finn.
The kings smile then move behind Finn "yes you are right, a king chooses what he is to do, the royals opinions can change many things but you mustn't let it control your own judgement, although if it was me I would have just killed everyone in the room, even the innocent"
"Well that's why people don't ask you about anything Flame king, I agree for a commoner Finn does have a little king inside of him" they laugh then motion the next event.
