Chapter 6: Homecoming
The sun had risen up in the sky, indicating that morning was now in progress. Finn and Fionna were fully awake. Finn had heard a knock on the door. He looked out the window to see who it was. It was Peppermint Butler.
Going to the door he was greeted with a sweet smile. But if anyone saw through a necromancer like him, that personality would be just a façade.
"Ahh Finn, you're here, good. It looks like I can give you the princess's message now."
"I don't get it. What do you mean?" Finn was confused. At the tone of his voice. He was waiting for a long time. It was then Peppermint Butler cleared his throat and Finn began to listen.
"Princess Bubblegum has sent me to contact you but you were nowhere o be found, so she made me check on the house to see if you were there." The candy butler answered.
"Well I'm here so, what did Peebles want to tell me?"
"She wanted to inform you of a formal that will take place tonight at eight pm sharp. Don't be late."
"Ok, is there anything else?"
"No, just show up in a suit and come over, you may bring a guest if you wish."
"Thanks and see ya later." With that Peppermint Butler left for the Candy Kingdom.
Fionna walked up and hugged Finn from behind. Her chin rested on his shoulder. "Who was that Finn?" She asked. She didn't hear much of the conversation. But she was curious to know.
"There's this formal at the Candy Kingdom, y'know slow dances, suits and dresses and all that."
"Really? Sounds a bit lame if you ask me."
"Yeah I know but, maybe it wouldn't hurt if we went for awhile, maybe dance. We could make up that night we had. Y'know a first date." Both we madly blushing.
"I'd like that, but I don't have a dress to wear. How can I go to the ball if I don't have a dress?"
"Easy, we could at least go somewhere and buy one."
"Ok I'm in. What time do we have to be there?" She asked.
"About eight o'clock tonight." He answered.
Finn and Fionna traveled to the Engagement Kingdom. It was there that they had beautiful dresses and suits not just for weddings, but for formals as well. It took thirty minutes to find appropriate clothing. Finn wore a silky black suit with a black tie. Fionna found a crimson red dress with red heels and a diamond necklace.
Accepting their outfits and buying them, Finn and Fionna went straight to the Candy Kingdom, holding each others hands on the way. Once they entered inside the castle, everyone was talking at first and then stared at the two.
It was a long silence at first, and then they all started to clap. Finn and Fionna looked at each other and blushed. Bubblegum didn't come out just yet. The people were witnessing the hero finally finding someone to be with. His lifelong princess was found at last.
"May I have this dance, Fionna?" Finn asked holding her hand. She giggles a bit and gladly accepts his offer as they went to the dance floor.
Slow and steady music started to play. Princess Bubblegum came from her chambers wearing her usual pink dress. Looking for Finn, seeing if he made it. She grabs herself a drink from a glass. Smiling to herself, she thought that she outdid herself with this ball. She spots Finn and starts to walk over to him. But what she saw surprised her.
Bubblegum sees a human girl dancing with Finn. They didn't looked bored at all. They were smiling, looking at each other deeply into their eyes. They couldn't help but lean in a little close and kiss. Something in Bubblegum snapped, for the glass shattered in her hand. She decided that from this point that she would spy on the both of them. Her blood felt like it was boiling, anger was starting to take a hold of her mind.
After a couple more slow dances, the party ended and everyone went home. Finn and Fionna were the only ones that remained. Standing in front of the castle entrance, with the full moon out. They looked into each others eyes.
"Finn, this was the best night of my life. This was really the only ball I actually liked."
"I'm glad you're happy Fionna, this is the perfect night." It was in that moment, they kissed. Sparks were flying and it felt really good for the both of them.
Bubblegum looked at the two closely. How dare the human girl take her Finn away. She wanted to talk with Finn. She wanted an explanation for all of this.
It was then Fionna left for the treehouse and Finn went inside the castle to help with the cleaning. But to his surprise, everything was clean. He was outside with Fionna for an awful amount of time. This was the ideal time for Bubblegum. She grabbed Finn's wrist and dragged him to another room. Once inside, she locked the door, put the key in her pocket and folded her arms.
"PB what's going on?" Finn asked. He was oblivious to the situation at hand. But he had a bad feeling about this.
"Finn, who was that girl you were with?" She asked. Tension and negativity can be felt right in this room. This made Finn very uncomfortable.
"Her name's Fionna, what's this about?" He asked. His heart was racing. Something was going on, question was what.
"What's this about? WHAT'S THIS ABOUT! You would rather hang out and dance with a girl you barely know than me?! Don't even try to say that you and her are 'just friends' because I saw everything! I saw you kiss her! What the cabbage Finn?! I thought you liked me!" She was screaming in anger.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! AFTER ALL THE STUFF YOU PUT ME THROUGH, YOU EXPECT ME TO BE SOME GLOB DAMN FOOL AND FALL FOR YOU AGAIN! I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I FOUND ANOTHER HUMAN, ONE WHO LOVES ME AND I WON'T LET YOU TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME! I LOVE FIONNA! AND IF YOU THINK I WOULD LEAVE HER FOR YOU, YOU'RE DEAD WRONG! UNLIKE YOU SHE ACTUALLY ACCEPTED ME! AND IF YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY FOR US THEN I DON'T WANNA HANG OUT WITH YOU ANYMORE!" Years of rejection took its toll on the hero's heart. He snapped. Finally the truth comes out.
Bubblegum had unlocked the door and opened it for him. "Get out." She said softly. Her anger was reduced to emotional sadness and distress. Finn immediately walked out. He didn't wanna be with Bubblegum any longer. He left for the treehouse, leaving the candy princess to sob.
She went upstairs to her room and lied down on her bed. Leaving the princess in solemn contemplation.
'Finn is mine! He still loves me! He's just in denial! It's that girl he's around! Finn needs to see that I'm the one for him! He needs to be with a real woman. I'll make him mine, no matter what it takes. He'll see! They'll all see!'
As she finished, a crazed, maniacal laughter could be heard around the castle walls. There was no use in denying it. Her smart, scientific mind became demented. It was only a matter of time until a plan was hatched.
Finn had walked inside the Tree Fort and slumped on the couch. Digging his fingers into his hair, he groaned because of what happened. His date went perfect until Bubblegum showed up. Finn stood up and paced around the living room. It was then someone came from the bedroom.
"What's wrong Finn? Are you all right?" Fionna asked. From the looks of it, Finn was not all right. When the date was finished, he was happy, now there was something bugging him.
"No Fionna. There's something I need to tell you. You know the person who made the party, Princess Bubblegum?"
"Yeah I remember her. I think she was staring at us for the whole party." Fionna shudders at the thought.
"Yeah well when you left, she dragged me to another room, yelling at me for being with you instead of her. I told her how I loved you and how I hated her for being jealous. I'm sorry Fionna, this wasn't how our first date was suppose to turn out." Finn answered. He looked shamefully down to the ground. After tonight, Princess Bubblegum had to go ruin it.
"Finn, it's ok. I mean, we both had a good time and we're still going strong right?"
"Yeah. Yeah you're right." Finn's spirit were lifted by her comment.
"In that case, everything's fine. You don't need to beat yourself up over what someone else did."
Finn returned Fionna's kind words with a hug and a smile. Fionna hugged him back. It was for the first time, they finally found the missing piece of their lives.
