Musical Stone Keys
Finn was trying hard not to seem nervous as he gave Kaito instructions on where the alleyway was so he could drive their limo there. Even with Rin reassuring him that things will be alright, the young hero was still keeping his worried thoughts in his head. 'Dang, if the Door breaks before we get there, I'm gonna be dead. I sure hope Len's fine...and so are the others….'
Finn also didn't know his music note shaped stone was glowing more in his pocket. In fact, everyone else who were also busy worrying (and still trying to process the fact about Finn coming from an actual cartoon world) didn't even seem to notice it either. The stone just kept glowing the more they drove closer to the alleyway.
When they finally got there, Finn hurried out quickly and inspected the Door. "It's getting worse," he declared. It was true. More cracks were on the Door, the glow it always bore was fading quickly and it was even tearing apart slowly.
The others stared with widened eyes. Rin put her hand on her mouth as she gasped. "Len…is on the other side of that?"
Finn nodded sadly. "I'm really sorry, guys…I didn't mean to cause this."
"It's…fine, Finn." Miku said. "We can fix this. I know we can! Right, everyone?" The rest snapped out of their trance and nodded encouragingly.
Finn gave a toothy grin. "So, where should we start?"
The Vocaloids looked at one another nervously. "Uh, Len- I mean, Finn?" Luka said. "We haven't exactly done this before…whatever we're doing."
"She's right." Rin added. "We never tried fixing a stone door…nor have we thought of doing so. Especially one that's magic, has another world living on the other side, and just randomly appeared out of nowhere overnight."
Finn sighed. "Point taken. So, what do we do?"
Miku took a step towards the Door. "What are these designs on it?" she pointed out.
"What designs?" Finn asked.
Miku pointed to the Door. Indeed, there was some imprinting on the magic Door. They looked like music notes to Finn but he also realized there were sword designs on it as well.
"That's weird." Finn said. "There weren't designs like these when I first saw the Door."
Finn tried putting a hand on the Door. When his palm touched the base, the Door glowed brightly again. So bright that everyone covered their eyes. When the glow died down again, Finn noticed in the spot where he placed his hand was a hole. It was a music note shaped hole.
Finn was awestruck at first until he touched the hole once more. The Door didn't glow wildly again but the music note shaped stone in his pocket did. Finally, Finn was able to notice it and he took it out. He examined the stone and at the hole on the Door again and again. Finn looked at the other Vocaloids. They were all nodding eagerly. Suddenly, an idea came to Finn's mind.
However, in Ooo, Len and Fionna had just arrived at the Candy Palace. Surprisingly enough, Len won their little race and the two blondes were laughing on the way inside while the cat and dog were both out of breath and had collapsed on the Palace floor. Len and Fionna found Bubblegum and Gumball still in their lab, experimenting.
"Oh, Fionna!" Gumball exclaimed, looking up from a project. "You didn't come back so I thought I'd wait for you before we go home. Meanwhile, I was helping Princess Bubblegum here with a-"
"That's great, Bubba, but right now, we need your help." Fionna interrupted. Gumball pouted while Len couldn't help but smirk at the nickname. Bubba? Seriously?
"Oh?" Bubblegum asked. "With what? I thought heroes didn't need any help." She smiled. Fionna rolled her eyes at the comment playfully.
"Well, maybe I wouldn't if I was one…." Len muttered.
"What?" the Candy Royals said together.
Fionna put a hand on Len's shoulder. "We have something to tell you guys…" She looked at Len and nodded.
The young Vocaloid sighed and explained everything. The Candy Royals just stared like they couldn't believe it. "So…can you help us?" Len asked.
Bubblegum shook out all her doubt and said, "Of course we'll help! Maybe we can fix you're problem with science! Uh…"
"Len," the shota replied.
"Right!" Gumball said. He packed away all the science-y stuff in a suitcase and carried it, filled with hope. "Take us to this 'Door' and let's try and fix it!"
Len grinned. Everyone went outside, got on Cake and Jake's backs, and they all headed for the forest. On the way, they bumped into some people…or should we say, vampires.
"Hey! Watch where you're floating!" Gumball said.
"Oh, so sorry to disturb your royal stroll." Marceline said sarcastically. Marshall Lee snickered.
"It's not a stroll, it's a mission." Len said. "And who are you?
"What?" Marceline and Marshall Lee chorused.
"Len, the floating girl is Marceline the Vampire Queen and the floating boy is Marshall Lee the Vampire King." Fionna explained.
"V-v-vampires?" Len stuttered.
"Yeah, got a problem?" Marshall Lee asked.
"Hey, did Finn get amnesia or something?" Marceline asked also.
"My name is Len Kagamine and Finn is in serious trouble if we don't hurry up and get to the forest!" Len shouted.
"Whoa, this kid's got spunk. I like it. We're going with you." Marshall Lee said.
"We just met," Len noted.
Marceline shrugged and smirked. The Vampire Royals followed the others as they continued heading for the forest, also while Cake and Jake explained the situation.
In the forest, the Door was also breaking. Just like it's other side in Tokyo.
"Oh, no…" When Jake shrunk to his original size, Len jumped off quickly and ran to the Door. He groaned. "How am I gonna get back now?"
Bubblegum examined the Door. "Don't worry, Finn- I mean, Len." She said. "We can probably solve this problem. We'll just get a few things in our bag…." The princess and prince proceeded to search in their suitcase for tools. The Vampire King and Queen scoffed.
Jake also examined the Door. "Hey, Len. Dude, do ya know what these are?" He pointed to the Door and to some markings on it.
"No…" Len answered, surprised. "I have never seen them before…" The markings were the same as the ones in the other side of the Door in Tokyo. But of course, Len didn't know that. He put a hand to the Door. The same thing happened again: the Door glowed bright, everyone covered their eyes, the light died down and there was a hole in the Door. Only, instead of a music note shaped hole…yup, it was a sword shaped hole. The same thing also happened again: Len touched the hole, the light from the stone in his pocket glowed brighter and Len took it out. Except instead of the others staring at it in awe…Bubblegum grabbed the stone right away and studied it.
"Amazing!" she exclaimed. "I had never seen a rock glow that brightly before! This is an amazing discovery! I need to experiment on it more and take notes. A glowing rock will finally be known to everyone in Ooo and Aaa! We could search for more but first we need to study it. Could it be a new type of specimen or is it just a rare-"
"Gimme that!" Fionna interrupted her by grabbing the stone back. "We don't know what this can do. Plus, it's Len's remember?" She plopped the stone back in Len's hands.
"Nerds," Marshall Lee muttered.
"Uh…thanks, Fionna." Len said awkwardly. Bubblegum pouted. 'So, what exactly are you planning to do with it?" she asked.
Len looked at the Door. As another crack appeared, he said, "I have an idea. I just hope it works…."
"Huh?" everyone chorused. Len smiled at them.
Then he placed the stone in its hole in the Door. Nothing happened.
"Nothing?" Len whispered quietly, horrified. "N-nee! I want to see my friends again. It has to work! And Finn…we all need to be together as friends! This Door needs to-"
Suddenly, the stone glowed again and it played a little tune. The others were confused.
"I've never heard that tune before…and we sing almost every song." Marceline said. Marshall Lee nodded.
"I…I know that!" Len exclaimed. "It-it's my song…Servant of Evil!"
Back in Tokyo, Finn had just done the same thing with his own stone. Again, nothing.
"Now what happens?" Kaito asked.
"Be patient, baka." Meiko grumbled.
"Wait, I think something's supposed to happen after I put it in…" Finn stated. "But what?" Finn groaned. 'Dang, I already miss everyone. And I know we barely met, by I also miss Len. I just want to see them all again. This thing has to-"
The stone in the Door glowed again. Just like with Len in Ooo, it hummed a little tune. Again, nobody knew what it was…except Finn.
"Hey, I know that song!" he exclaimed. "I remember singing it on one of my adventures. I called it, 'My Best Friends In The World'."
"I didn't know you wrote songs, Finn." Rin noted.
Finn shrugged. "Nah, I just sing randomly." To prove his point, he sang along with the stone's tune:
What am I to you? Am I a joke, your knight, or your brother?
What am I to you? Do you look down on me 'cause I'm younger?Do you think that I don't understand, I just wanted us together and to play as a bandLast night was the most fun I've ever had, even liked it when the two of you would get mad, at each other.
Oh, you a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world
You a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world
That's ri-i-i-i-ight I'm talkin' 'bout the two of you girls
And you, Jake
I'm gonna sing this song to you and I refuse to make it fake
Make no mistake, I'm gonna sing this song so real
It'll make this do-o-o-o-r break
"I gotta admit. That was pretty sweet." Gumi complimented. The others nodded. "But what was with those lyrics of breaking down a door and liking two girls getting mad at each other?" Rin asked, confused.
Finn rubbed the back of his head. "Well, like I said, I make up to words as I go. You know, improvising. And like I said, we were on an adventure when I first sang that." (A:N/ To hear song, see "Adventure Time" Season 3 Episode 10 "What Was Missing")
Rin tapped her chin. "What if…you changed the lyrics to make the song good for this situation. Like you did before."
"You mean like a parody?" Gakupo asked.
"Exactly!" Rin agreed.
"Rin, that's genius!" Miku said. "What do you think, Finn?"
Finn looked at the Vocaloids, thinking. Finally, he smirked. "I think this'll turn out mathematical."
In Ooo, Fionna crossed her arms. "Servant of Evil? Who would make a song like that?"
"It's a long story," Len said. "But I'm 100% sure this is my song. I even wrote the lyrics." With that, he sang the first part of Servant of Evil:
Kimi wa oujo boku wa meshitsukai
Unmei wakatsu aware na futago
Kimi o mamoru sono tame naraba
Boku wa aku ni datte natte yaru
"I have absolutely no idea what you said, but that was good singing, honey!" Cake commented. Everyone nodded.
"Well, I do work for a singing group anyway, so-"
"Hey, you know what would be cool?" Fionna interrupted. "If we changed the lyrics and sang the new song to the same tune, maybe the Door would break!"
"Len can try, but what's a song gonna do to a stone door?" Gumball asked.
"We don't know…" Len admitted. "But Fionna's right. Let me try and see what'll happen."
The others looked at each other and nodded.
In Tokyo, Finn was trying to think of lyrics for his song. When he finally did, he sang it along with the stone's music:
(A:N/ The following parodies were made by me and Ridaa. Enjoy!)
I know what I am to you, I am your biological brother
I know what I am to you, is it because we look like each other?
I hope that our friends would understand why things just suddenly got out of hand
And why we thought about switching lands
Of the other
Oh, you a-a-a-a-are the best thing that I have met in the world
You a-a-a-a-are the best thing that I have met in the world
But in this case I will say in these two worlds
I'm glad I'm not alone
Thank you to each one of you who chose to not leave me on my own
No more mistakes, last chance I'll take
To make another do-o-o-o-or break
Finn finished his song and everyone gave him a tight hug. Finn meant every word he sang…and now…the Door's cracks were fixing themselves.
Len didn't take long to sing his song. And he sang it exactly when Finn did. It wasn't very long either but he sang it with all his heart:
You are a hero, I am a Vocaloid
We are biological twins, destinately met by our fate
I am glad to have come here and to have met you
But now my only wish is to see you again
Everyone also gave Len a big hug. Len was true to his lyrics. He always sang passionately when he recorded his songs. And today was just the same. The group then heard the sound of the Door turning back to wood.
"It's working!" Len and Finn said on either side.
The Door was fixing itself completely. It was slow but quick in doing so but everyone was happy to watch something like as exciting as this happen. Just when the Door was about to be complete, it glowed again. Luckily, it wasn't too bright for Len and Finn to see a ray of light eluminate from the Door. The ray landed on their palms and the boys glowed from either side.
Finn found himself to be in his normal clothes and holding his family sword. Len also found to be in his own clothes. The boys each held their stone in their hand as well.
"So, that's what you look like without Finn's clothes," Fionna said.
Len laughed. "Yeah..."
"How do we know it's working?" Jake asked, gesturing to the Door.
Len turned to the Door, simply staring at it.
Finn looked at the other Vocaloids, grinning. "Want to visit Ooo?" Of course, everyone agreed.
Finn slowly opened to Door and luckily, the portal was back. Everyone dove into it. Finn followed.
The Door opened in Ooo and all the Vocaloids piled out, becoming cartoon form as soon as they stepped inside. Finn came out last.
"FINN!" the Ooo and Aaa citizens yelled. They ran up to him and gave him a huge group bear hug.
"Guys…can't breathe!" Finn wheezed.
Len smirked at the Vocaloids. "Look who decided to show up."
"LEN!" the Vocaloids yelled. They also gave him a huge hug. Then, the questions started.
"Are you alright?" "You're not hurt?" "You didn't almost get eaten?" "Did you get to be a hero?" "Did you save some people?" "Did you do your job and sing?"
"Guys!" Len shouted. "I'm fine. Ok? I'm just glad you're all here." He smiled and they all hugged again.
When everyone finally let go, Len and Finn faced each other and walked towards the other. Len held out his hand and they shook.
"It's been a wild day." Len said.
Finn laughed. "Right. It was-"
"Mathematical? Rhombus? Algebraic?" Len grinned and Finn did too.
"Glad to be back." Finn agreed. "But shouldn't you get going back to Tokyo before something happens again?"
Len looked behind Finn and at the Door. "I'm pretty sure nothing's gonna happen to that Door anytime soon. 'Sides, I didn't get to know my new bro yet." Len smiled.
Finn's eyes lit up. "Mind sharing stories?"
Len nodded. "Gladly."
The Vocaloids, Ooo and Aaa citizens gathered around, started chatting while heading out of the forest. Len had an arm around Finn's neck and Finn did the same for Len. With all of them together, life was never better.
Stay followed for one last chapter! I'll leave my sister to do finish that. But I hope you enjoyed this fanfiction! We loved writing it. We haven't had a lot of views and reviews but still…who cares, at least we got some! We won't update for another week, more or less. We hope to type soon. :D -Riduu
