Finn POV
This morning was pleasant, the sun is still rising and the gentle breeze entering the room brushes gracefully through my skin. 'Not even a dream.' I thought to myself. The last time I dreamt of something was also the last time Marcy visited, I haven't had a chance to ask her about the incident and I can't even find her anywhere. I got off my bed, Jake is still sleeping. "Time to kick start this new day." I changed my clothes and I picked up the old root sword, it was hard the first few days but I managed to accept it more, my left arm grew more comfortable with using the sword and for me it's a good progress.
After eating bread I stepped outside and I took in a deep breath to enjoy the cold air, I cleared my head of all worries and I began swinging my sword in the air. I moved my hands in the air anywhere I want, the feeling of freedom in every stroke gives me energy rather than draining it. I continued with my training and soon enough I started jumping and rolling on the hill, the enjoyment gives me life and I feel all the bad thing stats to slip away. "Finn it's time for breakfast you've been at it for a couple of hours now." I opened my eyes and I noticed that the sun was already high.
"You should really stop swinging your sword while your eyes are shut you know." Jake said while stuffing his face with bacon, I only ate a few slices with ham and I drank the juice Jake prepared. "So what's your plan today Finn?" Jake asked. "Hmm, I plan to go to the candy kingdom and help out; I'm trying to get back to the game anyway." "That's cool, I'll help out too!" Jake said excitedly, he chomped down all of his remaining food and we sprung outside to begin our trip. We arrived at our destination and we saw PB taking care of some of the candy citizens, Jake sets me down and we went up to ask what happened.
"Yo PB, what's happening?" I asked her. "Oh Finn you're just in time, my people have caught an ancient disease. You need to get me these herbs and after making the cure we could prepare lunch for you guys or something. "Okay PB, we got it." Jake and I began searching for the cure by the forest, but as we look for it I can sense something watching us. "Do you feel that Jake?" I asked. "Yeah let's search faster, I don't know what it is and I don't want to find out." After a few minutes we finally found the herbs, it was close to where... 'No Finn, don't think about that'. I shook the thought out and we went back to the candy kingdom.
"Here you go princess a whole bunch of herbs." "Thank you Finn, are you coming over for lunch?" She asked. "Sorry PB I got somewhere else to go and the candy people needs their meds, good luck PB." Jake and I waved as we left and when we got out Jake asked, "Where are we going next bro?" "Somewhere empowering Jake." He was puzzled at what I meant by that but when we got to the sea Jake was surprised to see me run and swim on the open sea. After swimming Jake asked, "What about Marcy man you were looking for her right? What are you going to talk about anyway?" "I don't know Jake; anyway I'm planning on going away for a while to discover myself." I answered.
Marceline POV
I gasped as I woke up, it was an unpleasant way to wake up and the sun is only setting. I laid my back on my bed and I stretched my arms out. 'This sucks.' I thought to myself, I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open and my head up. I started to stand up but I fell down so I decided to float instead, I held on to my stuff on the room to get to the bath room. After wobbling and swinging my head all over the place I finally arrived at my bathroom's sink. I opened the faucet and I splashed my face with water after that I dried my face and I looked in the mirror.
"Still no reflection, why do I keep this anyway?" I asked myself. I exited my bath and I saw a picture I had been keeping for a while now. It was me and Finn, we found a camera and we decided to get a few shots I managed to keep myself visible for the camera and I even found a place who still knows how to develop it. I looked at it more intently and I began remembering the last time I saw him, I shouldn't have said that maybe he's scared of me now, I just freaked out and bailed after he stopped me. "I can't face him, not after what I did." I slapped myself to remove the thought.
"No, I won't give up, I'll try again!" as I declare my resolution I heard a violent grumbling, "Ugh, well time to eat." I went down to the fridge and I grabbed two apples, I sucked the red out of those and I felt instantly refreshed. I floated over my couch while holding my bass and I started playing around with it, but I can't get some lyrics on my head. I'm still worried about my situation with Finn, "I should get help or something, someone who knows him well... Bonnie." I rushed up to my room and I put on my usual clothes and after fixing my hair I dashed out of the cave. "I hope she'll help me."
I was flying towards the candy kingdom and I passed by the tree house. I stopped for a second to decide whether to see him or not, but thinking didn't last too long and I decided to take a look. Finn was putting on his sleeping clothes and for the first time I saw his body in its entirety, his broad shoulders and his back, I was mesmerized with the view but reality snapped me back as I noticed that he was staring at me. I was panicking again, I covered my face and I dashed away. As I distance myself I can hear him calling me, "Wait, Marcy come back we need to talk!" I was glad that he did that but my embarrassment got the best of me.
After I've calmed down I saw that I was floating over the Candy kingdom, I took in a deep breath and I said, "Well, at least I got to my destination." I let out a sigh when I remembered what happened and I floated down to Bonnie's room, we simultaneously entered the room and when she noticed that I was there she immediately asked, "What did you do this time?" I would be hurt by now but it was the truth. "Sit down here and tell me." She said while offering me a seat. I stopped floating and I walked towards the chair, she sat on her bed and I said, "There's something bothering me, I need your advice Bonnie."
Princess Bubblegum POV
This is really something new, I slightly felt good that making the medicine took long and I also am worried, Marceline the vampire queen, the rebel asking me for advice. "Though I can't spill you all the details, I'll try to give everything you need to work on." I was very surprised with how events unfold today that I couldn't give her an immediate answer, however I was forced out of my thought when she said, "I knew this was a bad idea, I'll just go if you have anything better to do, good night." She started to float slowly and I ran to her and I grabbed her arm. "Sorry Marcy I was just dumbfounded, anyway come with me."
She sighed and said, "Thanks Bonnie, I knew I could count on you." I let go of her hand, she rubbed it and she said, "Your grip is harder now, have you been enhancing your build as well?" I was slightly irritated with her remark but my curiosity is taking over I walked out of my room and I signaled her to follow. We started to go down from our general area; I wanted to give her some privacy when she sorts out her mind so I will take her to the same room Finn conquered his sadness. "I never got to this part of the castle before." She said, "Oh about that, this place was sealed till now."
We arrived at the room and she immediately recognized the long chair and she said, "NO WAY! I'm not a mental patient or something, what the heck Bonnie!?" "Calm down, will you! Sitting there doesn't mean you're crazy. Even Finn had a turn on that chair and look at him now, he's very enthusiastic." For a second I saw that her eyes averted for a second but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, she lets out a sigh of defeat and I had my arms crossed feeling good. After seating down I grabbed my chair, but as I arrive at where she was I saw her rubbing the surface with her hands like she was in a trance.
"Are you really sure you're okay?" She shot up and exclaimed, "Of course I 'am! What made you think like that?" She was averting her eyes harder than before which finally made my curiosity break out. "Okay for starters, what happened?" "I had a run in with someone I knew, something happened and we got too awkward. I think he hates me now, we haven't even had the chance to talk because I don't know how to start talking to him again." This is really interesting, Marceline was flustered while telling her story, it took a few good hours and after telling all her worries and problems it was already eleven o'clock. "Is that all Marceline?" I asked her.
"Yes it is, so what do you think should I do?" she asked teary eyed. I rubbed my chin for a second and the thought came to me, 'who was she talking about this whole time? This is a very important factor in giving a suggestion.' "I need you to tell me who it is, my advice needs to be based on who it is." She was hesitating to say so I waited for her to find her resolve and she said, "Promise me you won't tell anyone." I nodded and she answered, "Its Finn." I was frozen in my chair, my hands fell down and my mind also fell in deep thought. Marceline brought me back to reality; she was waiting for my answer.
Finn POV
"I understand that you're leaving tomorrow morning but where are you going right now?" Jake asked. I was packing a box in my bag, after finishing my dinner I began gathering mementos from the past. "I'm just burying some unnecessary items Jake, I'll be back even before you sleep." "Sure Finn, just don't wander around and don't take too long or I'll lock you out." I just scoffed at how he was acting, I gave him a fist bump and I went on my way. I walked into the forest and I arrived at the small pond where we saw her, the land was fully healed and fertile, I knelt down to it and I planted some seeds to grow.
After that I walked again towards the old marauder's village, after encountering Hunson Abadeer they went away. FP's old house was still burning to this day, I helped her build it but now it's time to end it. I used the root sword and slowly chopped down the debris, after that I threw the burning wood to the water. "I'm sorry FP this might hurt a bunch." After taking care of the place I planted another set of flowers around the place and I started walking again. I felt slightly guilty that I may have inflicted more hurt to her but it was necessary to rid of the fiery house since it might spread around the landscape harming more land.
As my short trip grows to its peak I felt every step becoming lighter, it was as PB said, forgetting is the best way to mend a broken heart. "I wonder what Jake is doing?" I took out a small holo-projector and I said, "BMO cam on." It shot out a small monitor and there was Jake, in front of BMO, Playing games. Ever since he got his hands on a console upgrade for BMO he kept bugging me to play with him, sure it looks fun but I wasn't in the mood at that time. "I'll play with Jake when I come back from my life trip." I turned the monitor off, placed it in my pocket and I continued walking.
After a short while I was finally in my prime destination, the fire kingdom. Everything ended here, and I'm here to make sure it stays here. "What are you doing here, Finn?" I recognized that voice, it was flambo. "Just here to settle stuff, anyway, I don't need flame shield." He didn't say another word and went on his way. I sat down at the edge, I settled my bag down and I took out the box. Pictures, letters and the stone, all of them were inside. I stood up to take one last view of the kingdom I once loved, it was still beautiful but it's time to let it go. I grabbed the stuff inside to start the event.
I threw in the pictures first; the heat from the kingdom burned it quickly. I breathed out loud and I took out the letters next, I tried to read them one last time but it was too much. I let the breeze carry it to the heat and it was burned even faster than the pictures. Lastly the stone, her lips were imbued in its surface; it held the most memories of us. I looked at it and I kissed it one last time, I raised my hand ready to throw it. I had a hard time but I managed, I watched as the stone flew into the kingdom. It landed close to the least person I expected. "I'm sorry, goodbye." I said as I turned and walked away from the place.
Third Person View
"Thanks Bonnie, I know what to do now. I'll treat you some pudding sometime." Marceline said as she exited the room, on the other hand Bonnibel is contemplating to what happened and she was beginning to feel emptiness inside her. "I guess this is my divine punishment, isn't it, Glob?" Meanwhile Marceline is dashing towards the tree house hoping that she wasn't too late, "Wait for me Finn, Wait for me!" At the tree house Finn has already left, seeing her again made him want to leave more. "I hope you find what you are looking for brother, you're welcome to come back whenever you want." Jake said. He turned off the communicator and set it down, suddenly Marceline appeared.
"JAKE WHERE'S FINN!" Jake fell from his seat and he said, "Glob Marcy, calm down, what do you want with him anyway?" "Not now Jake, where is Finn!?" Jake raised himself up and he said, "Well whatever you want from him has to wait." "What do you mean Jake?" Marceline asked. "Finn left a while ago, I don't know when he'll come back." Marceline was panicking, her resolve is breaking down as the seconds pass by, but she was determined. "He might not be far off, Jake help me out man." "Uhh sure, maybe..." Jake scratches the back of his head and then he saw the communicator. "Oh right, this thing, its connected to the one Finn had. Maybe you could track him or something."
Jake tossed it to the Vampire queen and she said, "Thanks Jake, I owe you one." "Sure, you're a friend Marcy." She rushed out of the house leaving the yellow dog to himself. Finn on the other hand was having trouble using the map Jake gave him and he stopped by a rock, "I didn't plan this thoroughly." He laughed to himself but his laugh was stopped when he felt something was chasing him, he quickly picked up his bag and started running. "Who are you what do you want!?" He yelled as he ran blindly. Marceline made her move and used her arms to catch the running hero. The two of them landed on the ground.
Finn raised his head and he saw Marceline again. Her hair was gracefully spread out on the ground and the moonlight made her skin glow, Finn was mesmerized but his shook his head and got off her. "Marcy what are you doing here?" he asked. The queen dusted her clothes off and she answered, "Finn we need to talk I-" "Stop no, I don't know why but you're acting really strange. I can't get to you and when I saw you last time you went away, anyway I'm leaving Ooo for now. Don't follow me, I'll come back." Finn started to walk again but his body was stopped by Marceline's arms. "Stop it with your teasing Marcy I've had enough things to worry about."
Finn Pulled her arms from him and walked again, the same as before Marceline held him tighter and she said, "No, Don't Go, Ooo needs y-" her words were stopped when the ground started shaking and a loud explosion was heard. "What was that?" Finn asked. "I don't know, hold tight." Marceline flew up with Finn and they surveyed the landscape and they saw a huge black cloud coming from the middle of the forest. "That was..." "Tree trunks' house." Marceline finished. The two of them looked at each other and Finn said, "I need to take care of this, we'll settle this later." Marceline agreed and the two flew together towards the epicenter knowing what evil is waiting for them.
