A/N: Hey guys if you guys are wondering why I did not post on the projected day, long story short, I was out of the country for vacation and unfortunately I will only post one chapter which is this chapter and the posting of new chapters will be slowed down since I have to worry about school stuff. I hope you understand and enjoy.
It was now 7:30 at night, the sun was sinking beneath the horizon and the moon was now taking its place. While Gummy left earlier with the help of some drivers provided by the host and BMO opting out to stay in the hotel saying, "I'm tired" when he actually didn't want to get in the way of Finn and his potential new love interest. So Finn was left all alone inside the Jeep, now driving up a winding hill towards the Governor's Mansion.
Soon enough the hill started to even out and a large white and red building came into view.
"Oh, my Glob," Finn said paying no attention to where he was driving and almost rammed through front gates but luckily slammed the brakes just in time.
A few seconds later, two rock elementals in yellow reflective vest walked out of the guardhouse that was off to the side. One of them had a tablet in his hand and was now walking up to the driver's side, while the other walked around the car a long metal stick with a mirror at the end of it. The one closest Finn signaled him to roll down his window and the hero compiled. When the window was completely down, the guard opened up his tablet and spoke.
"Name?" The guard asked in a deep voice.
"Finn Mertens," Finn said calmly.
The guard swiped the screen upwards to get down to "M's" and soon enough he found Finn's name and soon enough the other guard came around and gave him a quick nod.
"All right, everything checks out, enjoy your night sir." The guard said.
"Thank you," Finn said.
Once Finn gave his car to a valet driver, he could see a group of people walking through a set of double white doors and followed them in. As he walked around the main room where the party was taking place. Careful as to not bump into anyone and grabbing hor d'oeuvres from anyone handing them out, he took the time to marvel at the white interior of the room to him the only thing that could rival its majestic looks is the inside of the Candy Kingdom castle. He was stopped by someone clearing their throat behind him.
"Excuse me." The person behind Finn said.
Finn turned to see a male water elemental wearing a navy blue suit behind him.
"Yes?" Finn asked
"Are you Finn the Human?" He asked.
"That's me," Finn said confidently.
"Ah, well I'm Governor Kai." He said holding his hand to shake Finn's.
Finn shook his and said, " Please to meet you."
"Likewise," Kai said as he loosened his grip.
"It's a nice place you got here," Finn said as he looked around.
"Ah it's nothing-" Kai was cut-off when a guard came up and whispered into his ear. A few moments went by with both of them making eye contact with Finn. Soon enough, Kai nodded and the guard left.
"Anything wrong Governor?" Finn asked.
"Well, there is." He said.
"Oh, what is it?" Finn asked with worry.
"Nothing too bad is just that the Governor of Anatolia needs a guard. Each city was supposed to bring a total of two of their own guard but I was informed that one of the guards got sick and they couldn't find a replacement in time. So, I was wondering if you could it." Kai said hopefully.
"Sure," Finn said happily.
"Great! Her name is Lizzie or Liz whichever you think is convenient." He said.
"All right go to her room its upstairs second room on the left in thirty minutes so at 9 o'clock she'll fill you in. Thank you so much for doing I wish you could have enjoyed instead of being a guard." He said embarrassingly.
"It's fine I'm used to doing things last minute," Finn said.
"Well, thank you so much and I'll see you in the meeting." After saying this he shook Finn's hand and left.
With Finn left alone again he wandered around the mansion until reached he reached a ballroom of a sort with wooden walls and giant chandelier in middle. As he gazed the room he noticed Brooke in a blue dress and with her hair up in ponytail talking with people that seemed to be around his age and all of sudden Brooke turned towards him and at that moment they made eye contact. On the one hand Finn was glad that she noticed him, on the other hand, he was embarrassed she caught him staring at her like there was no tomorrow. Finn caught this and gave an awkward wave towards her and return she waved back. She then walked towards him and stopped at about three feet from him.
"You look good," Brooke said.
"Thank you and you look beautiful in that dress Brooke," Finn said with a hint of red in his cheeks.
She blushed slightly but was quick to hide it.
"So, how are you liking things so far?" She asked.
"Well everything is great from my point of view, citizens are pretty well off and I finally got to meet your dad," Finn said happily.
"What did you guys talk about?" She asked.
"Oh well, we greeted each other, we didn't far into our conversation until a guard came up to him and then he asked me to be a back guard for one of the governor's. I actually have to leave in thirty minutes to meet her, so I'm not planning to do much." Finn answered
"Okay well, you do have thirty minutes just enough for a dance," She said as she looked at the dance floor.
"I would like to, but, what about your friends?" He asked as looked over her shoulder.
"They'll be fine it will just be you and me for thirty minutes." She said as she got closer to him.
He guided her through the dance floor and found an empty space big enough for them to dance in.
As they were dancing the two didn't say a word only making eye contact with each other for what felt like forever which in reality was five minutes until Finn broke the silence.
"So how is like?" Finn asked.
"How is what like?" She asked confused.
"How does feel it realize that half of the citizens aren't even the same kind as you?" Finn clarified.
"Well, how does it feel to realize you are the last human left except for that really big human lady with only basic intelligence?" She asked.
"Well- wait a minute how do you know about her?" Finn asked surprised.
"We stay well informed of what is happening in Ooo especially since two of our enemies are on the continent, that's how we know about you." She replied.
"Oh well it isn't bad, I just wish I wasn't the ONLY one," Finn said with a frown
"That's how I feel about the people living in our enemies kingdom I don't care their social standing, their intelligence, their beliefs. I just want them to have the freedom that we have here." She pressed her head on Finn's chest and continued, "But it is only up to them they want to know that freedom."
Finn hummed in agreement, cherishing the feeling of her body pressed his. A few moments went by until he looked at his watch and realized he ten minutes until he had to meet Governor Liz.
"Hey, I have to go," Finn said softly into her ear.
She let up and kissed him on the cheeks and said, "See me after". She said happily.
Finn smiled and said, "I will" and with that, he left to meet up with Governor Liz.
A/N: Thank you so much to Fiery Crusader, Ooobserver, halofan1997, and Dragonstorm0 whom I asked to read and review the story (yes I asked) and thank you those who read, reviewed and waited for almost five months for a new chapter and I hope you will continue reading because this will be a long story and I am projecting to finish this story maybe near the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. I don't know if any of you will stay for that long but if you do thank you in advance!
P.S: There have been changes in the story such as the Wildberry and Breakfast Kingdom will be replaced with Mountain and Water Kingdom as Grasslandia's enemy and Winston has been changed to Oris (If you don't know what I am talking about and you are new that's fine). Other than that, very little changes. Lastly tell me if you see any mistakes and I'll try my best to fix it. Thank you!
