Disclaimer: I don't own Adventure Time
Hey guys! SOOOOO this is... nope not gonna say it. Not even its level of awesomeness shall be revealed. I want you guys to read it.
This is Chapter 10.
"Okay…" PB answered slightly puzzled. Finn shifted apprehensively. "This isn't easy.
"Just tell me, baby. I'll try to understand as best I can." PB replied softly.
Finn took a deep breath "You know I love you, right?" PB nodded
"And you know, that I'll do anything to protect you." PB slowly nodded. "Where is this going?"
Finn closed his eyes "Maybe…maybe I should just do this tomorrow…I..I can't…No. I have to quit beating around the bush. TELL HER!" He opened his eyes and bit his lip"Well there's an issue…that will happen in the future if I don't figure out what to do, and it could put you in extreme danger. "
"What is this issue?" PB asked
Finn sighed "You know Flame Princess, right?" PB nodded. "Well… she doesn't know about me being turned 19. …She doesn't know I'm here. When I was turned 19, Jake didn't think it was a good idea for her to see me like this, so we came straight to the Candy Kingdom. But she thinks that I'm still at Mystery Kingdom checking things out."
PB eyes became wide and she blinked rapidly. She turned away from Finn and stared at the floor "…I..I forgot….about you and her…."
"I know….I forgot too." Finn replied apologetically. He looked up at PB's face which was still facing the floor. She was searching for something but Finn couldn't think of what, he wasn't even sure if she knew.
Finn spoke "…And… I know… that…if I just break-up with her, out of the blue, let alone breaking up with her because of you, she will explode and burn everything she can, including the Candy Kingdom. Especially the Candy Kingdom." PB nodded as a tear ran its course down her face, falling with a plop to the floor. "I…I understand." She shakily answered, desperately trying to keep a composure that she knew she would lose. Finn noticed and he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. In that instant, PB completely broke down, tucking her head into Finn more and silently but heavily weeping. Finn squeezed her even more as he too shed a tear, remembering how much it hurt to have his heart broken. Finn held her until her shoulders had stopped shaking and when her fingers had left his chest. He gazed into her sunset pink eyes with remorse as she looked back without feeling. It was as if that last cry had drained all emotion out of her body. "I think you should go now…Finn." She said flatly. She walked over to the door and opened it for him, bowing her head slightly, not wanting to meet his eyes.
"But Princess…" Finn rose to his feet, walking over to take her small, dainty hands into his strong ones. " I haven't exactly made my decision yet."
"We both know what you will eventually choose." PB answered.
Fiinn replied quickly "There has to be another way."
"Really? Well I'd love to hear it." PB said sarcastically, free her hands from Finn's grasp and crossing them. She waited for an answer, knowing very well that one would not come, as Finn just looked around as if he would find an answer in a corner of PB's bedroom. PB scoffed, walking towards her bed, away from him and leaned on the side of it "I knew it. You have no 'other' way."
"Well that's why I needed to talk to you. I want you to help me find it, the 'another way'" Finn answered warmly.
"But Finn…" PB exclaimed" Don't you realize that we will have to do this all the time? There will always be an obstacle to this relationship! Let's say we do 'find another way' to get around Flame Princess, what about the next problem? I can think of one right now. When we do change you back to 14-year-old Finn, because we have to, where will that leave you and me? How would we be able to be together? It would look weird, wrong even!" Finn closed the door and slowly walked up to PB but she turned her back to him. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she let her hair hang down the sides of her face. Finn touched her shoulder, turning her around. Her eyes had stocked up with tears and her lip was quivering "All this time… thinking we could work this out… we've just been lying to ourselves. Lying!" She exclaimed as Finn's face hardened. "Can't you see it? Can't you see the lies?" she whimpered, her voice breaking. Finn grabbed her and kissed her with all his might. He held her in his arms "You wanna know what I see? I see two people who love, care about each other very much. Two people who will do anything to protect and keep that love. Do you remember what happened today? You took on and won against Gary, the Mermaid Queen, to protect me. No offense to you, but honestly… I didn't think that you could win against anyone… 'cept for Ice King but that's not saying much." PB couldn't help but smile.
"But you did for me. That shows that our love can overcome anything. What we have shouldn't depend on what other people think. It should on what we think and what we think only. Obstacle, problem, you name it, we can get over it. Have faith in that, have faith in me, have faith in us." Finn finished as he pressed PB's hand to his chest. "Please." PB looked up once again into Finn's sapphire eyes, seeing that he truly believed in what he spoke, she nodded. "Okay"
"We'll figure something out, I promise you." Finn said thankfully, giving her hand a little squeeze.
PB nodded "Well let's get lay everything on the table then. You in a technical sense, not currently really, are still dating Flame Princess, that is correct?" Finn nodded sadly.
"You would rather be with me, but, because of the sensitivity that is Flame Princess and the safety of Ooo and myself, you can't." "Right." Finn replied.
PB added "And we can't keep you like this because eventually you will enter a vicious cycle vegetative state to normal."
Finn tapped his chin "When will that age defyer be done?" PB replied "Well the alternator was the last part that I needed. All I have to do is connect appropriately and we're all set. Tomorrow morning at most"
"That soon huh…" Finn said as he deeply thought. He then picked PB up bridal style and threw her on the bed. "We don't have much time then…" Finn said as he climbed on to the bed, lying beside her. "What are you doing?" PB asked still surprised at how fast that happened.
"Well Bonnie, I've figured that I can't break-up with Flame Princess and then be with you, at least not now. I am still not sure if she's evil or not, I don't even think that she knows and if I did break-up with her, she would be so mad that it would push her to the dark side. She'd come after you until you were a melted puddle of candy. I have to make her see why being good is so good, then when I do end things with her, she won't take too negatively." Finn said holding his head up with his hand as he gazed at PB.
"How long do you think that'll take?" PB asked.
Finn pondered "Hmm.. I don't really know. Maybe a year or two. But you see then I'll be almost 17, not too far off from my age now, so then people won't look at us weird or wrongly like you mentioned."
PB sighed " I guess. I…I just… I'm gonna miss this. So much." Finn caressed her face "I know…" He took her hands and kissed them "I'll miss it too." He pulled her into an enormous bear hug, then as quietly as possible zipped part of the zipper to her dress down. PB felt air brush her and pushed Finn on the shoulder "FINN! What are you doing?"
"We're not going to be able to be intimate for a while. I want you to remember what we have. I want this at least partly to be another reason to hold on." Finn replied reassuringly.
PB paused but then gently kissed him "I'll never let go." She whispered and then kissed him again, passionately. Things then got steamy as the two lovers shared their bodies with each other, the last time for a long time, savoring it as much as they could.

The next morning, PB called Jake in to the lab for the big revert of adult Finn to teen Finn. Jake, excited to have his near 15-year-old buddy back, the one he hadn't seen in a few weeks, was jumping around. "Ohh man, man! You're gonna be 14 again! Aren't you excited? I know I'm excited. Aren't you happy bro?"
Finn sighed as he glanced down "I guess." Jake found his brother's demeanor weird. "You would think he'd really want to go back since his fight with PB."
"I guess I'm not as ready for this as I thought." Finn gazed at PB and remembered what she had whispered in his ear yesterday night
"I'll always love you,Finn"
"Finn…" PB spoke gently, bringing Finn out of his daze. "Yeah Peebles?"
"Are you ready?" She hesitantly questioned. Finn exhaled "As ready as I'll ever be. Actually wait, just one last thing…" He cupped PB's face and kissed slowly, enjoying as much as he could. "That's the last time I'm gonna be able to do that in a while." Finn said as he stared meaningfully into PB's eyes. Jake stood with his jaw on the floor as he stared at the two. "You? You gu-ahs(guys) are…?"
"Well…not now…" Finn started.
PB turned to Jake "…because Finn's gotta resolve a problem first, but in a couple years, yes." She turned back to Finn, shaking eagerly. "And I can't wait." Finn smiled.
"Are you ready now?" PB asked, as she glanced at the age defyer that lied on her table.
Finn nodded. He hopped up on to one of the lab tables and waited for PB's signal. PB told Jake to stand back as far as possible, to prevent any backlash from hitting him. "Alright, Finn!" She pulled the age defyer's trigger, sending a blue light out to thrash the man that sat on the table. Finn screamed in agony as the blue electrocuting light covered his body once again. He gripped the table, digging his fingernails into his palms until they bled. PB let go of the trigger, at the time she calculated would return Finn back to normal. When the blue light receded, Finn hopped down and examined himself. He was closer to the floor, no longer had a mustache or gotti and was once again a head shorter than PB. She smiled at him warmly while Jake screamed "You're back!" He ran and hugged him, knocking Finn to the floor.
"Alright, alright man! Come on, let me get up." Finn nonchalantly said. Finn walked up to PB, but said nothing. He just looked her in the eyes. She kissed his forehead "I know I'll see you. Candy Kingdom always seems to be in trouble and you're always there to save it." Finn nodded "Stay strong." He said as he and Jake left the lab.
"Well man, what do you want to do now?" Jake asked as he and Finn walked towards the tree house.
Finn replied "Well first I want to see your cornpups, then I'm gonna go hang out with Flame Princess."
Jake was puzzled "But what about…?" Finn shook his head "Me and her already talked this out. That's why we're waiting a couple years."
"Oh…" Jake responded and then smirked "So how far did you and her get? Tier 10? 11? Or did you get all the way to 15?"
"What is Tier 15 anyway?" Finn asked
Jake paused "Uhhh… Its kinda hard to explain. It's like…like… when you share your secrets with the person you're in a relationship. All the secrets that they can see on a daily basis but don't actually SEE them."
"Soooo, you mean like being in the buff with each other and stuff?" Finn tilted his head
"Yeah, to put it simply." Jake sighed.
Finn put his hands behind his head as he smiled "I'll spare you the details."
"WHAT? WHY DON"T YOU TELL ME? FINN! COME ON!" Jake said as he began chasing a laughing Finn around

"It seems someone has betrayed my daughter, I suppose I can let it free for now, but what an entertaining spectacle it shall be when she finds out. Mwhahaha."
A/N: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO... DID YOU LIKE THE END!? Well the end per se, its not the end of the story, just the end of the first part.
The beginning of the chapter was pretty sad, I know, that's what I was going for.
The sequel is going to be called Fired Up to Be Good and I hope that my many T&LR readers(you guys) will read it.
I'm sorry Fubblegum lovers, but don't worry at all. They'll be back, just after a few 'minor' altercations.
I think FictionLover12 kinda had a feeling what happened between Finn and PB would happen so high-fives for you!
RXR please! I love your guys' reviews!
I will be 'seeing' you guys again soon,
Spazzaye 3
