Hello everyone! I hope your guys and gals Halloweens where mathematical. As always I hope you enjoy chapter 7!

Jake and BMO

The Ice King flew through one of his ice walls leaving a gapping hole in it and landed on his bench press, knocking the weights off their stand. Jake stretched one foot into the room, followed by the rest of his body. Jake's "hat" was still there but he made BMO wait outside, Jake walked over to the Ice King. "Ow you defiantly broke some of my wizard bones" said the injured Ice king, "yeah... Yeah it's broken". Jake put his hand on the Ice King's neck, but did not choke him, "All ask you again old man, where... Is... Finn!" Jake said staring the broken wizard square in his stanky old wizard eyes. "I told you Jake, -cough-, I don't know, I don't kidnap people anymore. I've learned that it makes me a person that people tend to not want to be around, and I was not ok with that. I figured I realized what was wrong when, blah blah blah blah" he rambled on and on about his childhood, all of which was made up, and Jake knew that. Finally Jake bursted out yelling at the Man of Ice, "I know you know Ice king!" Jake screamed. He began running around the Ice King's workout room, flipping tables and ripping posters off the wall. The whole time the I've King attempting to play it off like he didn't like anything in the room anyways "I got that table out of the dump... That posters to bright anyway... Why did I even have a bookshelf in here?" He said.

Eventually Jake ripped off a yellow poster with a stick man lifting weights with the words "get fit" under it. Suddenly the Ice King stopped trying to justify what Jake was doing and was silent. As Jake ripped off the poster it revealed a small cubby hole filled with pink books, all with hand drawn titles. "Adventure time with Fiona and Cake", "Fiona and Cake vs. The Ice Queen", "F + C + IC = BFF". Jake picked them up ready to rip them up but was interrupted by the Ice King's screaming, "No please!" He pleaded, "Not my fan fiction! That's my favorite of my amazing talents, after drums and looking good". Jake looked at the Ice King with a look of pure rage, "tell me where Finn in NOW!" He said. "Ok ok he was at Princess Bubblegum's castle this morning ok", Jake put down the crudely drawn books, "I thought you said you didn't kidnap princess anymore, how could you of possible none that?" Jake questioned. "Hey just because I don't kidnap them, don't mean I can't watch them..." He said with a smile like that was a normal thing to do. Jake began to walk to the door, but before he reached it he turned around and looked over to the Ice King. "Your constant harassment of the female gender makes me sick" he confessed and then walked out of the door. The Ice King attempted to stand up from the bench but instead land flat onto his face, "ow, everything's still broken".

Outside BMO was sitting in the main entrance of the Ice Kings ice castle kicking his feet back and forth humming a tune. Thanks to BMO being a robot it gave it almost the sound if a start menu for an old pre mushroom war game. Jake walked up behind BMO and picked him up putting him into his stomach pouch. "Where are we going now?" BMO asked in his cute little robotic voice. "We got to pay a visit to the Candy Kingdom" Jake explained to him. BMO made a face of concern remembering the Princess Bubblegum lizard incident a couple years back, he was still traumatized by it. He had yet to step another foot into the candy kingdom since that day, but before he had the chance to object, Jake was headed to the kingdom of candy and BMO decided to remain silent. Jake was making it to the Candy Kingdom in great time, now that he had a lead to where Finn could possibly be, he was less nervous about what he had to do to find him. It was completely against Jake's code to beat up the Ice King like that, he didn't do anything wrong as far as Jake could tell. He simply assumed that he knew something, in the end Jake got what he was looking for but what if the Ice King really didn't know anything? Well, that was a risk that Jake was willing to take in order to get his brother back. Jake stretched his legs sending him and BMO high up into the air, he stepped over trees and rivers and even the Hotdog Kingdom.

As Jake reached the Candy Kingdom he morphed back into normal size, at the gate he was greeted by two banana guards, the same ones who greeted Finn two days ago. "Hello Jake, Hello BMO" the two guard said in sync like they usually do to any visitor. However Jake just kept walking past without saying a word. "Hello" BMO said stopping the guards from suspecting anything suspicious about their actions throughout the day. Not that one would typically have to be suspicious of someone from the tree house gang.(not actual gang) Jake walked past many familiar faces as he headed towards the main entrance to the castle, all, just like the banana guards, he ignored. When he reached the two magnificent candy doors leading into the castle, there were two more guards waiting for anyone to approach. "State your business" the one said with a surprising stern voice. "I'm here to see the princess" said Jake, emotionless. The two guards pushed the doors open allowing Jake inside, "Hero status" Jake thought to himself. The people of Ooo would do anything for a hero, and Jake knew this. As Jake walked through the main hall of the castle BMO couldn't help but wonder why Jake was being so quite, was it just so he would not have to answer the question that he knew would come if he had a conversation with someone. "Where is Finn", they would ask, and Jake, his brother who swore to always protect him would have to say "I don't Know". Maybe that is why he was silent.

Jake stopped at the bottom of a long spiral stair case leading up to the princess' royal lab. Right next to the stairs was a window, Jake leaned out the window and stretched BMO and himself up to the window in the lab. There they saw Princess Bubblegum with her back turned fiddling with some test tubes and whatnots. She turned around to see Jake and BMO there, and jumped with fear, dropping the test tube she was holding. When it hit the ground it shattered leaving a small puddle of some green bubbly liquid that burnt the candy floor leaving a hole in its place. "Jake! BMO! What are you guys doing her?" she said, when she first started talking her voice was loud with fear but it reached her usual tone by the end of the question. BMO began to point to his eyes with two fingers, and then point to her eyes, and then back to his, showing that he was watching her. This action went almost unnoticed by PB as she just looked and Jake who stared at her with a blank face and his fedora morphed out of his head, then he finally spoke, "Where Finn?"

Finn and Marceline

As Finn opened his eyes he saw Marceline lying on her arm eyes open, still holding his hand. Much like the way she had awake the day before. Finn smiled and this made Marceline smile too, Finn leaned in and kissed Marceline on nose. The warmth of Finn's lips on her cold nose made her giggle. Finn didn't know why he did that, honestly he had no clue, but it felt right so he was glad that he did. Marceline was glad too, finally after years of abandonment and loneliness she felt like she finally had someone who she could call her own. Even though these feelings are so resent and there's absolutely no telling what the future will bring, at that exact moment, right then and there she was happy. "Hello hero" Marceline cheerfully said, "Hey Mar-Mar" Finn responded meeting Marceline's cheerfulness. They laid there and talked for a little while about nothing in particular, just whatever one thought of, and then they would just keep the conversation going.

Eventually Finn and Marceline got up and Finn began to eat the food he had set out the previous night. Before he just didn't want to eat it because he felt nervous and was afraid that it could upset Marceline, but he was just so hungry he had too.

He and Marceline where like a pair in distress, he was injured and she was starving both lost. Although they never said it, both wondered how long they would be able to keep going like they were. They could barely beat the colored men of the thrones and they were made of paint. Marceline had survived one thousand years alone, and Finn had defeated just about every type of monster, including the ruler of the Night'o Sphere, not so ironically Marceline's dad. He had defeated the monster that had killed his own dad! Yet a man of paint was able to land a punch on him just hard enough to knock him out. But there were a million excuses they could come up with about why they were not fighting their best. Most of which would probably be a valid reason, but none the less excuses are excuses.

After Finn finished eating and Marceline finished watching him, they got ready to continue their adventure. Although they agreed was chatting that it was not longer a adventure and more of a torture. Although Finn would not really use a word like "torture" to describe the situation that they were in but Marceline did, so he decided to go with it. Eventually after packing up the things that they had and Finn got on his usual position on Marceline's back, they began towards the stairs. Finn didn't notice it but Marceline was no longer floating, she was walking. Her hunger was so intense that she no longer had the strength to float with Finn on her back, even with her super human strength. She could float by herself but even then she was so low that her head was lower than it would have been if she just stretched out her legs and stood up. Yet here she was Queen of the vampires, walking on the ground caring someone else like a slave. She didn't mind caring Finn, but if any other vampires saw her, they would probably laugh right at her face. That didn't matter because Marceline is not one to care what others think of her.

Marceline climbed the steps until they entered the room with the body of water they used to bath in was. Finn wasn't paying attention when they entered so he didn't notice Marceline looking around confused. "Finn?" she asked, snapping Finn out of his day dream, "Uh… Y-yeah Marcy?" Finn asked. Marceline paused and took one final look around the room, "How do we get out?" Marceline asked. As soon as she asked she realized how stupid that question must of sounded, "How do we get out?" she repeated in her head with a stupid accent, "That's all we've been trying to do!" she screamed to herself, all still in her head. Although she was making such a big deal about it within her head, Finn didn't notice and just responded to her question. "I don't know Marcy" Finn said just as confused as her, this can't be the end, w-we fought all those guys! And for what!" Finn began to get angry, there wasn't even a treasure behind these doors, what where they guarding? "Oh, my, Glob! I just got an idea Marcy, and it might just me crazy enough to work." Finn said smiling to himself about how clever he was. Marceline remained silent waiting for Finn to reveal his "Master plan". "If we close those doors, which we didn't doing last night, and open them again maybe the room will be different!" Marceline thought it was honestly one of the stupidest ideas she had ever heard, but she had no clue what to do, so she went along with it. They closed both the doors and the ground began to shake, and there was sounds coming from behind the doors. It sounded like the inter cave around them was shifting into a different position. Marceline began very excited, "Maybe that idea wasn't so stupid" she said mistakenly out loud. Luckily the noise was too loud for Finn to hear her. Soon the noise stopped and they both looked at each other at the same time with smiles from ear to ear. In sync they both grabbed the doors and opened them up… to reveal the room being the exact same. Marceline closed the doors and began kicking them violently, "Mother! Mother! Mother!" she shouted as curse she had learned from her old friend Simon. "Awe man" Finn said disappointed. The noise had been nothing more than a conveniently placed "ground rumble" as Finn liked to call them, although it was nothing more than an earth quake.

As Finn and Marceline finished exchanging there share of what they believed to be swear word, they left the room. As they stood at the top of the stairs looking back into the room they noticed something they hadn't notice any other time they left the room. Symbols very similar to the one Marceline saw when Finn was asleep the first they were trapped. Marceline walked Finn over to one of them, each of them where on the back of the thrones of the paint man, each throne had a different symbol, each symbol and different color. She walked up to one of the symbols and put her hand on it, and when she did the symbol began to glow. "What the glob"? Finn said both confused and astonished by what he had just saw. Marceline was astonished to but she couldn't utter a word. Marceline reached over and touched another symbol, but the second one did not light and the first went back to its original un-glowing self. "A Puzzle?" Marceline asked, not entirely sure who exactly she was asking. She pressed the first symbol again causing it to light up, when she touched another it to lit up, but when she pressed a third they turned off. She and Fiddled with it for a little while until all four symbols where glowing, then all at the same time the thrones that fell onto their backs revealing rectangular shaped holes under the seats.

Marceline was puzzled by the look of these shapes, but Finn almost instantly noticed they where the exact shape of the swords that the men were using to fight them the day before. Finn let go of Marceline's hands he was holding to keep him on her back and landed on the ground on both his feet but fell to one knee. Marceline was so puzzled by the shape of them she didn't even notice Finn's absence. Finn got up to his feet and limbed over to the bodies of the paint men, bodies being used lightly, they were more or less puddles. He picked up the sword from each of their "resting places" then he finally got the orange mans sword. Still stuck in the wall where it was left, stuck in the wall where Finn was sitting as Marceline battled the others. Finn had every other sword in his right arm, he grabbed the handle of his the orange one and began pulling, he pulled and pulled then suddenly the sword gave and came flying out. Finn feel onto his ass throwing the all the swords behind him, when they hit the ground they make a loud clashing noise. When Marceline heard it she jumped and turned around quickly, she rushed over to Finn and helped him up.

"Oh my glob, Finn I didn't even realize you where gone", Marceline said concerned for Finn. The position he poured onto his wound was starting to fade. She could tell that it was starting to take its toll on Finn.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine Marcy" Almost annoyed at her for having so much concern for him. He knew that she could never annoy him and it was just a force habit for how much concern Jake always has. Still he couldn't blame her because he knew he would probably act the same way to her.

Marceline didn't notice the annoyance in Finn's voice and just continued to help Finn to his feet. "What are you doing looting all these bodies, weirdo", Marceline joking said to Finn.

"What you talking about Mar-Mar, I'm no grave digger" Finn joked back. He liked what he and Marceline had; they could joke with each other without fear of one taking it too serious. Even though most times Finn would take what Marceline says very literal, once he noticed it was a joke he could get a good laugh out of it. "I'm a hero, and you're my radical dame".

Marceline blushed at the sound of Finn calling her "my radical dame". Marceline looked down with a smile on her face.

When Finn noticed her blushing he began to blush too. At first he didn't even know why, but if she thought he said something worth blushing about.

"Anyway why are you taking these Finn?" Marceline said snapping back to reality after their little moment.

"They fit perfectly with the holes over there" Finn said pointing at the bottoms of the thrones that where still visible.

"Oh so you thing the weight of the swords will cause some tumblers or something to trigger a latch or something to open so we have an easily accessible exit?" Marceline hypothesized.

"Yeah, pretty much" Marceline's comment going complete over his head, all he understood was "swords… exit". Even though a comment like that would not typically be hard for someone to understand Finn had be away from "smart" people like PB for a while and had forgotten how the word works. So Marceline might as well been speaking gibberish just a second ago.

Marceline and Finn picked up all the swords and placed them into to the corresponding thrones that matched the colors of the swords. Once the placed the last one the earth began to shake again, not nearly as violent as they did before. When it finished Finn and Marceline looked through the doors again hoping that there was something different, some way for them to exit the cave that had kept them trapped for the past 3 days. Unfortunately they saw nothing that revealed itself as a noticeable way out.

"Aw man! Another ground rumble?!" Finn complained making sure to express his disappointment."What was all that for then?" he asked himself aloud.

"You know Finn, I saw these symbols once before in this cave", Marceline explained. "You were asleep and I didn't think anything of it".

"Take me there Marcy" Finn said with no sense of urgency but made sure he should the importance of it. Finn didn't want to tell her… but he had seen the symbols before as well.

"Yeah sure Finn" Marceline threw Finn onto her back like he normally was, as was there usually form of travel the past couple days. As they reached the doors back to where they came they notice something. The ground had collapsed, what was once a complicated maze leading up was a simple almost hill like path going down. The journey that had taken them days one was will now only take them hours the other way.

As they traveled Finn's potion began to start fading more and more, and he wound was slowly but surely returning to its original condition. Finn's wound almost felt like it was burning like he simply scrapped his side, instead of it being impaled. But he could tell it would soon feel like that, he chose not to tell Marceline. Instead the vampire queen and him just talked like they always did, about what they would do once they got out. How they felt others would feel about "them", as always Finn confessed his biggest fear being Jake's reaction. They had talked about all this before but it helped keep their minds off their current situation. Every now and then they would stop and Marceline would rest, she almost never walked, but with her vampire strength it gave her the cardio of an average 18 year old.

After they finally reached the symbol, Marceline put her hand on at and it too began to glow. The Entire section of the wall moved down like a space age door, but instead it was the wall of a cave. Since it took several hours to get there Finn wound was back to its original condition. Once the wall was completely lowered it revealed a tunnel that looked similar to a water slide.

"Do you think that this is the way out Finn?" Marcy asked looking concerned at the tunnel since it had no visible end.

"Only one way to Find out Marcy… and I'm going to find out". Finn was fully focused on getting out of the cave at this point at this point. He was willing to risk everything by jumping down this tunnel in hopes of an exit.

"Then I'm going with you Finn" Marceline said as she took Finn off her back and held him in a hugging position.

"I wouldn't want it any other way" He confessed to her with a smile.

Then they both closed their eyes, and hugged each other close. Then in sync Marceline and Finn started counting, "One… Two… Three!" Just as they hit three Marceline jumped sending Finn and herself into the waterslide like tunnel. It threw them around corners and had drops and jumps. For even a brief second they were forced underwater but the currents pushed them to the right track. Then they reached the end of the tunnel, a geyser in the middle of a field. When they reached the end they were shot into the air and they both landed onto the ground. Both Finn and Marceline screamed out in pain, Finn for having landed on his wound, Marceline for being exposed to direct sunlight. Once Finn noticed, he threw himself onto of Marceline using his body to shield her from the sun.

Finn was arching his back and was on his hands and knees. This position put a lot of pain into Finn and at this point he was bleeding to death. At the end of the field was a large oak tree, it was casting a shadow towards them but the sun was too high, and the shadow was too far for them to just go to it. Marceline's super healing ability she was soon almost back to normal but she could not leave from under Finn or else she would die. Finn knew this so he stayed, in pain, above Marceline, he began to cry from the pain.

"Finn, please just go get help" Marceline stopped and took a deep breath. "I've lived long enough, but you have your whole life ahead of you". She knew that the chances of both of them making it back was unlikely, and she always knew in the back of her head that she had to die sometime.

Finn breathed heavily, his tears falling down and landing on Marceline's face. "I… I refuse to let you die" Finn said. Finn loves Marceline and even if he didn't, he was sure that his hero code would refuse to let him leave that position. "When you first told me why you jumped down into the cave you said- you said that the thought of living without me was unimaginable, well that's how I feel now, I can't just let you leave my life like that."

Marceline began to cry, "Glob Damn it Finn! You're going to die!" Marceline begged for Finn the just leave her, but he refused. Marceline wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to whip them from Finn, but they both just kept crying. "If I just got it… If I just floated over to the water and got it for you, we wouldn't be here right now!"

"So what, so I could go on my way and we only see each other barley, once a month at most?" asked Finn.

Marceline looked up to Finn and looked into his eyes

"After all the injuries I've gotten, all the moments I almost died…"

Marceline kept her eyes on him and listened to every word he said.

"I wouldn't do a thing differently", Finn confessed. "After everything we've been through, falling for you, falling for you over again every time I look at you, made it all worth it."

Marceline put her hands on Finn's cheeks and bend and kissed him on the lips, only the second time ever. The kiss was unlike any kiss they had before, and would most likely be unlike any kiss they would ever have again. When the kiss finally ended her and Finn looked deep into each other's eyes.

"I love you Finn" said Marceline starting to cry again.

Finn forced a smile through all the pain, "I love you too Mar-Mar"

The sun was setting and the shadow ever so slowly inched its way towards Finn and Marcy, but always out of reach. Marceline and Finn stayed in silent for a while, just soaking in the exchange they just had. Finn had never had someone say they loved him, never someone from outside his adoptive family. Marceline had never said those three words that quickly, but she had also never meant it as much as she just did.

Finally someone spoke breaking the almost awkward silence.

"Marcy, when you get out of here… tell Jake that I-"

Finn was cut off by Marceline saying "Your going to be ok Finn, you're going to be able to tell him yourself". Marceline said trying to convince Finn that he was going to be ok, even though she knew he probably would not be.

"Ok… Ok Marcy" Finn said sniffing.

Finn's wound not longer hurt, which he knew was a bad thing, his complexion was starting to turn pale; his skin was almost the same tone as Marceline's. He lost most felling in every part of his body and began to feel dizzy. He was starting to question how long he could stay awake.

Then after what seemed like forever the shadow finally hit Finn and Marceline was able to slide into the safety of it. Finn feel to his side, opposite of the wound and he let out a sigh of relief. Marceline grabbed his hands and pulled him into the said with her, and Finn rolled to his back and spread his arms out. "Finn we did it we made it!" Marceline happily proclaimed, but Finn did not respond. "Finn?" She asked, Finn could hear her but did not have the strength to speak. He felt like he was outside his body watching Marceline cry for him "Finn! Finn please answer me!" Marceline pleaded, she got no response. Each cry he heard suddenly got quieter and quieter, Finn wanted to answer Marceline so badly but could not open his mouth or his eyes, soon he could barely keep even a though in his head for more than two seconds. Then there was nothing, no sound, no sight, no thoughts, just blackness.

Jake the Dog

"What do you mean Jake?" Princess Bubblegum asked in a state of confusion.

"Don't play stupid PB, I know he was here, spill it!" Jake said very hostile, he was scared of neither PB nor the power she had.

"I don't know what your-" Princess Bubblegum said but then stopped when she looked at how serious and almost despite Jake looked. "Ok fine, he was here, I sent him on a quest" PB explained.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't Finn take me?" Jake asked.

"It was a secret mission, and Finn said he needed to do it alone…" she confessed. "He was supposed to be back days ago but he never came back…"

"Why… in glob's name didn't you tell me?" Jake yelled at the princess of bubblegum. His thoughts were blocked by pure rage and everything he said was erratic. "Why didn't you tell me he never came back!?"

"It was a secret mission Jake! Anyways Finn knew every journey could be his last, I sorry for him, I really am but there is nothing I can do." It was clear that PB's fondness for the young hero had changed over the years, she no longer saw him as she once did, he had always and only ever been her knight, nothing more.

Jake fell to an Indian style sitting position and put his face into his hands, but did not make a sound of sobbing.

Princess Bubblegum walked up and patted him on the back a couple times, and then she turned around. "I'm sorry Jake", she said one more time, then continued to work on what she was when Jake and BMO first entered her lab. When Princess Bubblegum turned around again Jake and BMO where both gone.

Hey everyone! That ends chapter 7! But don't worry there will be a chapter 8 next Monday; I think it will be the 11th. Anyways as always I hope you enjoyed, don't be afraid to give criticism, have a great day :)
