Happy Adventures in Regular Elmore

Chapter 21: Meet and Greet

Hey y'all, it's ya boi. Let's get in to it. Also, as I put this up, Adventure Time has officially ended. Now I did not see it, but, the show officially confirmed Marceline and Bubblegum a couple. So, shippers rejoice. XD. RECAP: Marceline has switched sides for the promise of peace, but will it be kept? She got to see the state of Jake and Rachel. We see that Bubblegum still won't hesitate to put her in her place. It's time we start the show.

The Flaming Heart

Flashback:

"Who is she? It was Fliqpy.

"Someone who could help us bring asshat down to his knees. She could be easily swayed, considering she's been in a coma for the last 22 years."

End Flashback

About 2 Hours Earlier

Fiona sat on a nearby bench, having needed a rest from her tiring journey.

She had been traveling for a few hours, but it felt like an eternity.

"I'm never going to find him. He could be dead for all I know." She started to sob quietly.

She started to bend over, hanging her head down when she jumped back from a shot of pain in her torso.

"Fuck me!" She screamed, and lifted her shirt.

It was her stab wound, it hadn't bled, but it still hurt her when agitated.

"Seems like you're in pain. I can help you with it." A voice said from behind her.

Fiona turned around and saw nothing, leaving her to feel a sense of dread.

"Who said that?" She called out.

"Let's just say, I'm a friend of a friend." The holder of the voice had come forth, revealing to be Bubblegum, with a crazed look and a smile that would send chills even down Hannibal Lector's spine.

"Do I know you? I don't recall ever meeting you, not that my memory is gifting me right now." Fiona asked.

"It doesn't matter honey, what matters is that your wounds get healed." She pointed at Fiona's chest.

"Honey? Are you sure we haven't met, or are you just friendly?"

Bubblegum's smile grew even wider, " I'm the friendliest person you'll ever meet. Do you want me to heal you or not?"

Fiona looked into her eyes, and got a feeling of uneasiness.

"First, do you know anybody by the name of Finn Mertens?" Fiona asked, since that was her top priority over her own health.

Bubblegum ticked at hearing Finn's name, but to her own surprise, kept calm.

"Yes. As a matter of fact I do." She was barely able to get it out without snapping.

Fiona's face brightened," Do you know where he is??"

She ticked again. It took all of Bubblegum's strength not to burst, but calmly replied, " Not at the moment. He will be arriving here pretty soon."

"Arriving where?"

"Come with me, and we can wait."

Bubblegum notioned for Fiona to take the lead, to which she did.

"By the way..." Bubblegum started as Fiona walked by.

Bubblegum then pulled out an unmarked bottle of liquid.

"Drink this. It'll help the pain."

Fiona, reluctantly, took the bottle and took a sip.

"Ugh, it tasted like shit! What was..." Fiona fell unconscious and hit the ground.

Bubblegum shook her head, " Rookie." She spat on Fiona.

She got up to her face, and licked her cheek, then kissed her on the lips.

"Not as good as Marcy, but you'll fit in just fine." She laughed.

Bubblegum then stood up, and grabbed her ankles, and dragged her to her hideout.

Present

Fiona sat in a room, lit by a hanging lightbulb.

The door, obviously locked, stood opposite of her.

"My head..." She held her head, feeling it throb.

She couldn't remember how she got here, and what happened before. All she remembered was a woman and a smile that could kill.

She sat for another couple of minutes, before she heard the door unlock and open.

"Good morning sleepy head." It was Bubblegum.

"Morning. Do you know where we are?" Fiona may have been in pain, but she still did have manners.

"Yes. You are at a place very dear to me."

"Is, is Finn going to be coming here?" Fiona asked.

Bubblegum ticked, before responding, "Now now, let us not worry about that right now." She had walked over to Fiona and stood her up. " Come with me."

Fiona followed Bubblegum out the door into the hallway.

"Come, Come. I want you to partake in the activities." Bubblegum and Fiona walked up a floor, and they stopped at another door.

"What do you mean, 'activities'?" Fiona asked.

"Just go in there and find out." Bubblegum unlocked the door, letting Fiona in.

Fiona walked inside, to which Bubblegum immediately slammed and locked the door.

Fiona turned back around," Hey!? What's going on? Unlock the door!"

"Have fun!" Bubblegum walked away, cackling.

Fiona pounded on the door, but it was no use, so she turned around and faced whatever she was put in the room for.

To her surprise, it wasn't anything that would harm her, physically anyways.

In front of her was a table, and on the table was a button.

She walked over and examined closer.

All it said was "Push".

Fiona, hesitant as ever, stared at it, debating if she should push it.

"I'd make a choice soon hun." Bubblegums voice rang out in the room from whatever speaker or com there was.

Now aware that she could contact her, Fiona spoke," Tell me what'll happen?"

"Push the button and find out."

"Why should I? What am I gaining from this?"

"Just Push the Button." Bubblegum's tone was threatening this time.

"No. This button is gonna hurt somebody." Fiona replied.

Bubblegum sighed," Always have to be a fucking hero, just like him. God, now I see that you two were perfect." She growled. "Only making my ruined relationship even more ironic."

Fiona paused, feeling sympathetic," Im sorry. But being a bitch won't fix anything!"

Bubblegum didn't reply.

"Hello?"

Suddenly, the door swung open, and it was Bubblegum.

"Don't. Call. Me. A. Bitch."

She walked over to Fiona, and socked her in the face, giving her a black eye and forcing her to the ground.

Fiona had her hand on her eye, and tears started to drip down her face.

"O-o-okay..." She barely was able to whisper out.

Bubblegum stared at her, before speaking," Don't. EVER call that again, do I make myself clear?"

"Yes..."

Bubblegum stared at her for another minute, before socking her again, knocking her unconscious.

Bubblegum grabbed the button from her hand and pressed it.

"Now it continues." She exited the room, slamming the door behind her and locked it back up.

Bubblegum grabbed a walker talkie from her belt, and toggled it.

"Fliqpy, you read? Over."

It was silent, but only for a moment.

"Yeah, I'm here. Over."

"Gather them all up, put them in a row. Have Marceline stand and watch in the holding room. Over."

Another moment of silence, but this time longer than before.

"Fliqpy? You hear me? Over."

"Loud and clear. Get the shitheads together. Starting now. Over."

Bubblegum put the walker talkie back in her belt and smiled.

"Good. It's about time the stakes got raised."

And that brings us to the end of the chapter. Now, not a lot happened In this one, but that's okay because even the greatest stories need filler. We are building up to the climax, and a lot is still to come. RECAP: Fiona has been taken by Bubblegum, but is she considered kidnapped? We also saw a glimpse into the next chapter. What'll happen? Will Finn arrive to save the day? Find out next time.
