I do not own "Last to Know" By Three Days Grace.
Marceline searched the forest, using her nose to smell Finn's human blood. As she kept moving forward, his scent was getting stronger.
Marceline finally found him in a small campsite that seemed to be made by him. She turned invisible and hid behind a tree, listening to the music Finn was playing with his guitar.
She just walked away
Why didn't she tell me?
And where do I go tonight?
This isn't happening to me!
This can't be happening to me!
She didn't say a word
Just walked away!
You were the first to say
That we were not okay
You were the first to lie
When we were not alright
This was my first love!
She was the first to go
And when she left me for you…
I was the last to know…
Marceline could see tears form in Finn's eyes, but he fought them back and kept going.
Why didn't she tell me?
Where to go tonight?
She didn't say a word
She just walked away!
You were the first to say
That we were not okay
You were the first to lie
When we were not alright
This was my first love!
She was the first to go!
And when she left me for you…
I was last to know!
Finn's expression turned a little into rage. And the sad harmony of his song was turning into rock.
I'll be the first to say
That now I'm okay
And for the first time
I've opened up my eyes!
This was my worst love!
You'll be the first to go!
And when she leaves you for dead
You'll be the last to know!
I'll be the first to say
That now I'm okay
And for the first time
I've opened up my eyes!
This was my worst love!
You'll be the first to go!
And when she leaves you for dead…
You'll be the last to know…
Finn wiped the tears away from his eyes and said, "I know you're there, Marce."
Marceline flinched when he said that, but showed herself.
"What do you want?" Finn snapped. "To warn me that you're dad wants to fight me and that I shouldn't bother training because he'd kill me in one swing?"
"No, Finn. I know I'm the last person you want to see, but today's your birthday. You're turning nineteen!" Marceline answered.
"So?"
"This is your first birthday Ooo is celebrating ever since that tour!"
"Well if I'm the birthday boy I have the choice to not show,"
"But then there would be no reason for the party! Those people worked hard to set up the party. And some of them were you're friends."
"Would you just leave me alone and tell the guests I'm not coming?!"
Marceline sighed and sat next to Finn. "Can you at least tell me what that song was about? I know it had some kind of meaning."
Finn looked at her and sighed. "O-okay, fine. The day before the tour…"
Flashback!
"I bet you Jake that this tour is gonna be beast!" chimed a 14 year old Finn. "Yeah, man! And it will be because there will be beasts…to beat up!" Jake added.
"We'll jack them up, good! Show them why evil lurks in its hole where it belongs!" Finn exclaimed. Jake chuckled. "Whatever you say, dude."
Then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Finn said and ran to the door opening it.
"FP! How's it going, babe?" Finn asked his girlfriend. He started to call her that ever since they became an item.
"Finn…there's something I have to tell you. Something to confess." exclaimed the fire princess. "What? That you'll miss me since your father wouldn't let you go? Or that you have a magical book or object that'll help and guide us through our journey and obstacles?"
"Or that you've been hiding a load of my favorite flavor of ice cream from me?" Jake piped up from behind them.
"It's neither of those suggestions," said Flame Princess. "Finn…I…I've been cheating on you…" Finn's eyes widened in shock. "…with Flame Prince." she finished.
"Wha…? B-b-but…I…we…" Finn stuttered, on the verge of tears. Flame Princess shook her head, wiping her eyes to fight the tears.
"I'm sorry Finn…but this relationship can't survive. I-It's over."
Finn's eyes welled up with tears. "B-but…no! We…I…"
"G-good-bye, Finn," Flame Princess quickly walked away leaving a trail of burned grass behind her.
Finn fell to his knees. "Flame…" before he could finish, the hero fell face first onto the ground. Jake noticed his brother and gasped.
"Finn! Finn, are you okay?" Jake went by the human's side that was out cold. "Is he dying?" asked Beemo.
Jake panicked, "Oh no, you can't die! Not now! Not before the tour of adventure! Plus you're too young! Beemo, I'll be back. I'm taking Finn to the hospital in the Candy Kingdom!"
Jake stretched larger in size, put Finn on his back and ran to the Candy Kingdom as fast as he could.
End of Flashback!
"How can you remember something Jake and Beemo said when you weren't even awake to hear it?" Marceline asked.
"I dunno," Finn shrugged. Awkward silence filled the air until Marceline broke it.
"I thought Bonnie was your first love,"
Finn shook his head. "She was just a crush. I wasn't into that love junk at the time. That was until I met FP. There was just something about her that touched my heart. But when she dumped me, my heart shattered to pieces."
"Well I've been around for a thousand years. I know what it's like to go down that road. You just gotta pick yourself up and move on."
"I did move on. But that didn't really work." Finn stated.
At first Marceline didn't know what Finn was talking about, but then she remembered when Finn told her he loved her.
D-does he still love me? Marceline asked herself in her mind.
Finn stood up and began to walk away with his hands in his pockets. "I'm going for a walk," he said.
"Wait! What made you pick yourselff up?" Marceline barked up. Finn stopped in his tracks.
He was silent for a couple seconds, and then responded calmly,
"…You," and walked away.
