Title: Searching

Narrator POV

As the day started Princess Bubblegum has sent out a squad of Elite Banana Guards to go and look for Finn who was living again in the forest which he has called his second home and when he got to his location he didn't waste any time he quickly made his camp and for some safety measures he was camping in the branch of the biggest and tallest tree he can find and when he inspected it from below it was camouflaged perfectly.

'No one's gonna see my camp...I only hope I won't forget where it is located though...aha!' Finn then took some moss and he made three horizontal lines on the moss free ground under his camp. 'That should do it.' just then his stomach grumbled in hunger and the Boy went to look for anything to eat and he found some wild berries growing in a bush not to far from his camp and some pears a bit away from his camp and he found yet again a stream and caught himself a fish.

"Still got it Finn hehe" Finn said while walking back to his camp.

While Finn was making himself lunch in the Candy Kingdom Princess Bubblegum was listening to reports from the squads of Elite Banana Guards that had come back from their search and every report says the same thing, they haven't found a trace of Finn.

"Okay your all dismissed and rest for now." Bubblegum softly said

"Ma'am yes ma'am" the Banana's said in union and left

'Oh Finn, why must you do this to me?' PB mentally said and she ended in deep thought until she snapped out due to the appearance of Jake.

"Morning Princess" the Yellow Dog said in a soft voice "Judging from your face another failed search again." Jake said at the same time lowering his head.

"Yeah, another failed attempt..." tears started to form in her eyes and she looked pass Jake's head into the forest in the horizon "...wherever he may be, I hope he's doing okay."

"Yeah."

PB then changed the topic to stop herself from crying "Do you want to stay here and have lunch?" her tone remained the same.

"Sure Princess, it's lonely again at home."

"Come Jake, let's eat" Pb and Jake walked to the kitchen and Bubblegum didn't realized that she shed a single tear.

Jake POV (Short)

I didn't get enough sleep since, I kept on having nightmares of different scenarios where Finn dies horribly and after the sixth one I manage to wake my self up, I was breathing heavily and after breathing normally again I cried in silence.

"Damn it...Glob don't let Finn die...just don't please" I said

I checked the time and it read four-twenty seven, I then laid in my bed not wanting to sleep anymore, because I felt like my body was tired to sleep again. I just laid in my bed for hours until the light of the sun was slowly crawling up my body warming it. Still I remained glued to my bed and I skipped breakfast. When I glanced at the clock it was eleven-forty nine

*sigh* "I should visit Bubblegum." I said in the empty room

I then gather the strength to get out of bed, not caring to take a bath first. I locked the house and walked sadly to the palace. When I arrived there I saw her all sad and she noticed me and I greeted her and she greeted back and I asked her if she had another failed attempt to search for Finn and sadly she said yes, so she changed topic and asked if I wanted to stay for lunch in which I agreed and as we made our way to the kitchen I saw her shed a tear and I felt sad knowing that the situation was tearing her apart in the inside.

PB POV

Three months later...

Three months went by, three fucking months and not a single sighting of Finn...to make things more annoying for me I'm hallucinating again...hehe come to think of it I'm starting to enjoy seeing him at the cost of my sanity. Jake's been coming here almost everyday just to have some company which I don't mind. I also need his company too and today Jake's here in the castle again and he's helping out in the search for the twenty-third time and he looks like he's not giving up.

Two months ago...

"PB I'm not gonna stop in finding Finn!" The Dog said and it was his thirteenth time.

"Don't you think that you should rest first?" I ask because I was starting to get worried, he hasn't rested for some time now.

"I want to but at the same time I don't want to. Knowing that my little bro is still out there."

"I know how you feel but ask yourself this, would you sacrifice your health to find Finn?"

Jake then became silent. He opened his mouth but closed it then raised a finger but dropped it as fast as he raised it, finally he sat on the floor and just looked down and began drawing imaginary circles on the floor. I knelled beside him and placed a comforting hand on his head and tried to not make him cry which worked.

"I know Finn is strong and he will be able to survive out there and now that he's mature he'll make the right decisions that won't back fire on him."

Meanwhile with Finn...

"Uh...help anyone? I kinda got myself tangled in ropes and dangling about thirty feet off the ground hehe...I need to take a piss.
Anyone out there?"

Back to PB...

"Jake how about you rest first in one of the guest room and I'll just call you in the intercom if I think your full of energy again. What do you think?" Jake then rubbed his chin and was thinking...at least that's what I was thinking.

"Can I ask for an extra pillow?" he asked kindly

"Sure Jake, now come along." I said leading him to a guest room just a few rooms away from mine.

Present...

Jake then approached me to report anything

"The last known area where we might have though he made camp again was at the beach but there was no sign that somebody was there. Then the next place we checked was near the ridge and again nothing and by the way the ridge somehow collapsed on it's own,
is that normal?"

"One: That's okay Jake, try again later or tomorrow and Two: I don't know if it was possible for the ridge to collapse on it own since there was no earthquake for how many years now."

"Okay Princess. I'm going to take a nap."

"You do that."

When we got to the guest room that I said Jake can stay, he thanked me and went inside and I went to my room. Once I got there I went to my balcony and I closed my eyes.

"Finn. Wherever the wind takes you, I pray that no harm will come to you, my friend." after saying that I just started to cry and it felt good to cry from time to time.

Finn POV

After managing to free myself from those ropes I just laid there on the ground...groaning in pain since I fell back first. I've been laying there for four hours until I tried getting up, I turned my body around so my stomach was touching the ground and as I push myself up I felt excruciating pain in my back all the way to my legs and feet, I was glad to have the pain since I know I could still feel pain.

"I gotta get up, someone might see me but I don't have the strength anymore to climb," I thought out loud.

I decided to just resist the pain in my body to get to my camp, so as I walk the feeling is jut so fucked up...it's like a boulder was placed on top of me then I was feeling like jelly. When I got to the tree I needed to climb, I looked up and just screamed out loud as I clung onto branches and swinging to get to the other one. Good thing it was just a quick thing to do because next thing I know I'm in the comfort of my sleeping bag. I decided to skip dinner and I dozed off.

Dream World

I was in the candy kingdom and the atmosphere felt calm. I started to walk around and candy citizens were just minding their own business and having a good time. I kept on walking and I saw some kids playing with a ball and I couldn't help but smile as I saw them having the biggest and widest of smiles. I passed by the kids and next thing I see is Jake and he looked like he didn't notice me so I called out his name and when he tried to look at me his face was just a bright white light

"What the hell?" as I said that the area was engulf in it and next thing I know is that I was again sitting in the roof just above the Princesses balcony and I heard her say muffled words but I couldn't understand them clearly...but I heard her say my name, then I heard her crying again but instead of suddenly appearing in front of her that's when everything became a blinding white light.

Real World

I woke up to the sunlight bearing down on me and I mumbled not again to myself and as I got up to start my day I heard what sounds like Banana Guards talking among themselves so I decided to eavesdrop on them

"Why is the Princess always sending us out? This is like our fifty-sixth time to look for Finn." one guard said

"Well, I don't blame her after all what she had done to Finn and well trying to get him killed...*sigh* listen all I'm saying is that maybe she cares for him like a mother cares for her child or something close to that." anoter one said

"Where'd you even get that knowledge?" asked by a third guard

"Yeah tell us, come on man." a fourth one said

"Okay, okay. I read it on a book." the "smart" Banana Guard said

"What's that?" the other three said in union and the "smart" one just face palmed himself and said to them to go to the library to see rows and rows of books, some dating way before the Mushroom War.

'Hmm, some of them are actually smarter than the others...better be careful then.' I watched as the Banana Guards pass by and I waited for ten minutes just to be sure the coast is clear. 'I better make sure there's nothing I'll make that might lead back to my camp.'
Was this going to be an intresting day for me.

Two hours later...

"I saw him over there!" shouted by a Banana Guard who was carrying a tranquilizer gun.

'Shit how did this happen?' I questioned myself as I laid inside a log where a Banana Guard was lookin down the scope of his issued sniper rifle. "I thought I saw movement by that tree over there!" again another Guard shouted and the one with the sniper rifle ran to his comrade. 'Now's my chance!' I shouted in my head and I quickly went out of the log and I ran away from the huge squad of Guards I encountered.

One hour ago...

I was just walking carefully and I looked around just to be sure and I made sure I wasn't leaving any foot prints on the ground. I then saw a flash of yellow run pass me in my left side so I ducked instantly and ran to a nearby bush, I poke my head out and to my surprise I saw about forty Banana Guards. It was comprised of Ten Elite Banana Guards, twenty-five regular Banana Guards and five Banana Guards that had black stripes painted on them so I think this was like the commandos. I didn't stick too long and I bolted away but luck was cruel to me as I stepped on a branch and it broke and next thing I know is the shouting of the Banana Guards for me to stop while the Elites were running in both my left and right side and the other five were nowhere to be found so I was scared.

As darts flew pass me and one almost nailing me in the back of my head, I quickly dropped to the ground and crawled as fast as I can and as I returned to running with both feet I quicly saw a log and I didn't think twice and I jumped inside of it and stayed there for an hour.

Present Time...

I was almost in the clear I was gonna be safe again, I thought of packing up again and going somewhere more isolated but I was back to reality when I felt something hit my right leg and when I looked at it, it was a tranquilizer dart and instantly my leg felt numb but I didn't mine and I ran/limped and I was approaching a huge river and I thought that if I can swim across it I could loose them, but then every part of my body felt numb and I blacked out yet I was conscious and I heard a splashing noise and a few seconds later I heard a loud noise and it was getting louder and louder until it faded away and I felt like I was free falling. I then heard a loud splash and that's when I lost consciousness.

Narrator POV

The Princess and Jake were talking in the garden and they were having a good time laughing at memories that they had with Finn and they enjoyed every second of it, then Peppermint butler appeared to the two and handed a letter to PB, she thanked him and he said nothing and walked back to the Castle with his head down.

"Hmm why is Peppermint down all of a sudden?" the yellow Dog asked

"I don't know..." PB was wondering if it was because of the letter she just recieved "okay let's read this letter." the Princess then opened the letter and it was from the leader of the Special Banana Force that she manage to form a day ago.

Jake who was watching her saw a tear run down her face and she dropped the letter and picked it up and read the letter

Your Highness,

We have manage to find Finn the Human but he ran and hid from us for an hour until one of my men found him and manage to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart in the leg, but he didn't stop he kept on running until we had no choice but to shoot him again until he fell into a river and we tried to save him but the current was a bit fast and it carried the Boy further down the river. Last we saw of him was him going over a waterfall that was about two hundred feet and we didn't see his body floating.

I'm sorry Princess but as you are reading this we are now in the middle of a search and rescue for Finn the Human.

-Capt. "Split" leader of S.B.F

Jake was shaking in his spot after reading the letter and the Princess was now crying and Jake joined her. They cried for thirty minutes then became quiet and didn't say a word to one another for seven minutes until Jake broke the silence

"I-I-m going t-to my ro-o-om i-if you need m-me" Bubblegum just nodded and stared at the setting sun with one word repeating in her head over and over again "Finn."

Two weeks later...

'Everyday is now just the same as before...' PB thought while slumping in her throne. The search and rescue was a fail since Finn's body wasn't found and the only thing that was recovered was a piece of his cloak. She had it incase in glass and now it's hanging in the wall behind her.

Jake was just coming back to the tree house to get his viola to bring to the Castle and when he entered the house there were light layers of dirt in every furniture and he wasn't in the mood to clean. He just walked to the bedroom and got his viola and was ready to get out when he saw Finn's bear cap. He stopped and picked it up from the table near his bed and remembered the day Finn gave it to him and when he gave it back to Finn he said that he outgrown it and it's his to keep. Jake manage to form a smile even though he was tearing up

"You maybe gone physically but at least your with me in memories." Jake walked out of the tree house and played a song while walking back to the Castle.

When he got there the sky started to turn grey as if it was joining both him and Bubblegum in their sadness. When the yellow Dog entered the throne room he just wished he had once chance to see his brother again.
