Sorry it took so long.

It took seven rewrites to get this right. SEVEN!

I can't explain my rage.

It also took my computer crashing, no internet connection, and my cat deleting everything.

I own nothing. But if I did, it would go something like this…

Finn ran to the bed, sliding to a stop in front of it. Ripping a part of his sleeve off, he then carefully removed the IV from her arm. He knew enough from PB taking care of him to know how to take it out without much of a problem. He carefully wrapped the shirt piece around her arm as a makeshift bandage before he really looked at her condition.

She was extremely pale and feverish; however she was also seemingly unconscious. She was breathing shallowly, but breathing none-the-less. Reaching down, he grabbed Frost's shoulders, gently shaking her.

"Frost, wake up." Finn said quietly. He had an indescribable feeling of dread in his chest as she remained motionless in his arms.

He then sat on her bed and pulled her into his chest, rocking Frost. He buried his head into the crook of her neck as he felt his eyes drip with tears.

Finn didn't know why he felt such strong emotions to her. The last time that he felt this way was with Flame Princess, and that relationship ended with a lot of burning.

The second he felt Frost speak, Finn froze. Slowly he pulled his face from her neck to look at her. A single tear streamed down her face as he looked at her.

"What?" he asked quietly. While relieved that she was awake, he knew that if she needed something, he would do anything.

Frost muttered again, prompting Finn to lean his ear towards her to listen. As soon as he heard her request, Finn pulled back to look at her, taking her hand in his.

"Are you sure?" he asked. She lightly squeezed his hand as a response.

Nodding (to himself, really), he laid her back down onto the bed carefully. He stood up, hesitantly releasing her hand from his. Turning around, he walked back to where he had first spotted the bed. He suddenly bent down and picked up what she had asked for.

The tiara glinted in his hand as he started back towards the bed again.

The force of the wall crashing down threw Finn to the floor, tiara spinning off towards the wall where the bed's head was. Finn looked back to see a giant candy snake.

Eyes widening, he reached for his sword, only to discover that he had left it in the dungeon. He swore as the snake lunged for him, rolling to the side in time to not be crushed. The snake ran into the wall next to Frost's bed, nearly crushing it in the process.

Frost watched as the snake recovered from its failed lunge and advance towards Finn again. Moving with her elbows, she slowly moved towards the edge of her bed.

Finn was continuing to try to avoid the snake while keeping it away from Frost that he nearly didn't notice her falling from her bed. He gritted his teeth as he rolled away from another lunge. He knew that they were both in danger because the snake was quickly taking much of the space in the room.

Frost continued to crawl towards her fallen tiara struggling as she moved. She screamed slightly as Finn came crashing next to her prone form, nearly crushing her head against the wall, and in front of her path to her tiara.

Finn held his head painfully from the impact, having hit his head against the wall because of the impact. She blushed slightly as she continued to crawl. However, she needed to crawl across Finn to get to her tiara.

"W-what are you doing?" He asked, bushing.

The snake hissed as it slowly approached Finn and Frost, who were in front of it. Now that Finn wasn't moving around anymore, it could take its time to approach.

Feeling immediately aware of the snake approaching, Frost desperately reached towards her tiara, finally grabbing it.

The snake sprung at them just as Frost managed to put her tiara on and sit up on Finn's lap.

Finn closed his eyes, clutching Frost to himself as Frost extended her arms towards the candy snake, hands almost immediately meeting the fangs of the serpent.


When Frost went limp in his arms, Finn finally decided to open his eyes. Instead of a stomach, he found himself face-to-face with the snake that had tried to kill him. Immediately, his eyes widened, and he braced himself against the wall, gritting his teeth while his muscles tightened.

It wasn't moving.

Finn stared at the snake, wondering what had happened when he heard people yelling outside the room.

"H-hey! I-in here!" he yelled. He was suddenly confused, because not only did he see his breath, but the room suddenly seemed… cold.

Finally, the snake seemed to shatter, making Finn shield his eyes.

Jake suddenly barged into the room. Upon seeing his brother, he exclaimed, "Finn!"

Letting his arm fall from his face, Finn looked at his brother, relieved that he had found him. Jake then wrapped him in a hug.

"Finn! You wouldn't believe what we fo-" Jake suddenly stopped, noticing for the first time the unconscious Frost in his arms. "Why…? Never mind. We need to go, dude."

Finn stood up, holding Frost in his arms. He shifting her in his arms, he managed to hold her bridal-style. "Ok, let's go then."

Jake nodded, and the brothers started to head to the door. Entering the hallway, they avoided the dead snake pieces as they continued to walk. Jake suddenly stuck his arm out where two hallways connected. Finn shot him a questioning look. Jake just rolled his eyes and held up a finger.

Suddenly, a loud, thunderous sound reached Finn's ears. Just as suddenly, a candy snake shot down the hallway n front of them.

If Finn's eyes were quick enough, he could have seen the black hair trailing long with the snake. However, he did hear someone screaming, though it was more of an excited scream than a fearful one.

Finn looked to Jake as he sighed.

"Don't ask."
