Over the next several years Flynn had never come back home. His friends in Aaa and Ooo kept where Flynn really was a secret. Even Dust knew.

He had been living in the forest of Aaa, in a hidden tree house in a cave that had grown to be bigger, almost the size of Jake and Finn's tree fort. Everyday his friends would visit to hang out. But sometimes it really was just lonely.

At ten Flynn enrolled himself in a new school and a wizard one. By now he was 15, almost sixteen. His appearance had even changed. He now had blonde spiky hair on the left side of his head, and raven black, spiky hair on his right. He sported a gray-red-black short sleeved hoodie over a red shirt, black jeans with a belt, and long red-black shoes that he calls "fighting booties".

A/N: (If you guys want a better description just look at my profile pic)

He also had brought the Sword of the Dead with him and Veronica and Prim had helped him make a similar axe-bass of Marshall's.

On yet another sunny day in the Land of Aaa, Flynn was feeling lonely and bored again, tired of playing his axe-bass.

"Hey, Flynn!" Jessica and Football ran into the cave. "Huh? Football! Jessy!" Flynn exclaimed happily. Jessica was now eighteen, while Football, the new Assassin Prince, was sixteen and a half. (in his cat/video game console hybrid years)

"Sorry, Flynn, but this is bad news." Football stated in his British accent he learned to actually keep during the past years. Flynn frowned. "Bad news?"

"Your family really misses you, Flynn. They just can't deal with the fact that you're probably dead, so they're thinking of replacing you-"

"So?" Flynn scoffed. "Let them suffer. They were being selfish and terrible parents."

"You don't get it, they were just trying to protect you!" Jessica yelled.

"They were jumping to conclusions! They thought that just because her parents were evil she was evil too!"

Jessica only shook her head in disappointment. "Not only that, but you've missed the birth of your nieces and nephew."

Flynn's eyes widened and he looked at the ground, ashamed. "I always did want to see them…"

"I'm sorry, Flynn, but we can't keep this up. This all has to end now. And I hope you haven't forgotten about one person."

Flynn gave her a confused look. "What?"

"Dust. Ring any bells."

Flynn softly gasped as his eyes widened to the size of plates. He actually forgot about her!

"I can't believe it…" he whispered.

"You made her suffer just because of your selfish reasons and actions. Just like you claimed that your parents did."

"Th-Then your right! I have to see her! See them! See my family! The rest of my friends and classmates! See Ooo again! I've never felt so lonely here…"

Jessica nodded and she and Football departed to tell the others the news. The girls of Aaa would not be pleased of this due to being attracted to Flynn over the years, becoming a total girl-magnet. Some tried to get a kiss from him or get Flynn to date him any chance they got. But being Finn's son, Flynn was pretty oblivious to this.

Jessica admitted to having a tiny crush on Flynn at some point but that changed when she met Flame Prince and Ashley's son, Blazer Inferno.

Prim was dating Sotros, Simon and Betty's son, and Kael was still trying to confess his feelings for Rosea. Veronica was the one who had a huge crush on Flynn out of all the siblings.

"Hey, Flynn…" Veronica walked in the cave.

Flynn turned and smiled, but noticed Veronica's eyes red and puffy, possibly from crying.

"Huh? Veronica? What's wrong?" asked Flynn.

Veronica sniffled. "I…I'm just gonna really miss you…"

Flynn cracked a small smile. "I'll miss you too."

Veronica nodded and hugged Flynn tightly, her hugged her back. But when they pulled away, Veronica quickly planted her lips on Flynn's. Flynn's eyes widened, and didn't want to, but soon found himself giving into the kiss…

"N-No…!" Flynn exclaimed, breaking the kiss after six seconds. "W-Why'd you…what'd you do that for…?!"

"I'm sorry…" Veronica said, tears running down her cheeks. "I…I've just had a crush on you for such a long time and…"

"Oh…that…" said Flynn. "Look, Veronica. I'm sorry, but I don't share the same feelings. But I'm sure you'll find another good guy out there."

"But they won't be the same as you!" Veronica suddenly yelled before running out, leaving Flynn dumbfounded.

Twenty minutes later, everyone except Veronica showed up to say goodbye to Flynn before he left with Football to Ooo.

Nothing seemed different. The sun was out in the cloudless, bright blue sky, embracing the Earth in its warmth. There were several Fluffy People playing on the grass fields and they noticed Tree Trunks and Mr. Pig's children had grown to be teenagers.

The two went their separate ways, Flynn heading to his old house and Football to the tree fort.

Flynn knocked on the door, only for a young boy about ten, to answer. He had shaggy, white hair with streaks of red, light blue skin and dark yellow eyes. He was wearing black jean shorts, a long-sleeved orange shirt and purple sneakers. "Hi? Can I help you?" he questioned.

"Uh…hello, there." Flynn said. "Apparently, I live here. My name is Flynn Mertens, the son of Finn Mertens the Legendary Great Hero of Ooo and Marceline the Vampire Queen."

The boy then gasped. "…Uncle?"

"Uncle? What are you talking about kid?"

"Mom! Dad! I think it's Uncle Flynn!" the boy exclaimed.

"What?" shrieked two feminine voices. Flynn was soon greeted by his mother and 26 year old sister. "Um…hey, Mom. Winter. Long time no s-"

Flynn was cut off by the two women crushing him in their tight hugs, tears pouring down their cheeks. "We've missed you so much…!" they both sobbed.

"G-Gah…! H-H-Help!" Flynn choked.

"Son?" Finn said after Flynn, with the help of his nephew, pried Winter and Marceline off him.

"Hi, Dad."

"It's…It's been so long!" Finn pulled Flynn into a squeezing embrace.

"Where the hell have you been anyway?!" Marceline demanded after the father and son had their reunion.

"Yeah! We were worried about you! All of us! You even missed the births of your nieces and nephew!" added Winter. Flynn sighed. This was gonna take a while.

"…And that's it." Flynn said, finishing his story. "So Veronica likes you, huh?" Winter said. "I can't believe you're in such a wicked band!" Alicia, the oldest child of Scott and Winter, exclaimed. "Yeah! That's too boss!" Quinn, the second youngest and the first one Flynn met, agreed. "And what extraordinary adventures you had!" said Janette, the second oldest. "Yep!" yelled Laura, the youngest.

"Hey. Can I go now so I can see Dust? I can't wait to see her again!" Flynn asked.

Everyone frowned gave him a sad look.

"…What is it?"

"Flynn…when Dust discovered you ran away…she was devastated…she felt like she didn't have a meaning in life anymore…so she gave in the ways of what her parents taught her…and almost every week she attacks us or is out somewhere wreaking havoc…" Scott informed.

"No…what have I done…?" whispered Flynn.

"Fl-"

But Flynn interrupted him by running out the door.

On the way he passed his old school, and then bumped into a group of teens about his age or a year older.

"Ow. Sorry." Flynn apologized quickly and ran past them.

"Hey, you!"

Flynn turned. "Look. I don't have any freakin' time for thi-"

"Flynn?"

Flynn took a closer look at them and realized they were his old classmates.

"It's you…y-you're back…" Kelly, one of them stated.

Flynn shook his head and ran from them toward the Ice Kingdom.

I screwed up big time! thought Flynn. Surely Dust hasn't REALLY given into evil…

…Right?
