Finn awoke to another beautiful morning. As his bleary eyes adjusted to the rays of sunshine that were filtering in through his window, he laid in bed and listened to the various sounds that usually came with the start of a brand new day. He listened to the morning songs of the birds that nested within the branches of the tree house and he could hear the faint rustling of leaves indicating what seemed to be a particularly windy morning. The smell of this morning's breakfast began to waft in from the kitchen below.

Hmm, it smells like eggs and pancakes, I guess Jake must be at it already.

Kicking off the fur skins that he used as bed sheets, Finn got up and slowly made his way to the bathroom to begin the day.

Man I sure hope we still have some of that special pancake syrup from the Breakfast Kingdom. That stuff was from Breakfast Princess' personal stash.

As he walked into the bathroom he realized just how tired and sore he really was. Taking down that mountain troll the day before had been no easy task. Princess Bubblegum had called them and asked to see if they could investigate reports of a large beast that was stripping the Cotton Candy Forest of it's foliage. Once they arrived they realized they were in for one heck of a fight. The towering giant had two ugly heads, and four massive arms as well. They had to dodge rocks, fists and even whole trees as they fought the troll but the dynamic duo were able to cut off its arms one by one and put an end to the fight by driving it away. It had been a bloody and messy battle and when Finn got home he skipped his shower and went straight to bed, exhausted. Now he woke up smelling like troll blood, sweaty armpits and, oddly enough, cotton candy. It wasn't until he saw himself in the bathroom mirror that he realized just how roughed up he looked. His blond, shoulder-length hair was hardly recognizable beneath the current layer of dirt and grime. Blue, piercing eyes looked back at him from his reflection, with the addition of a newly formed black eye on the right side of his face. He would have used some of the cyclops' tears to heal his eye but they had run dry a couple weeks ago. Until he made another run, he would just have to deal with a little pain for a while. He sighed as he made his way to the shower and hoped that Jake hadn't used up all the hot water. He turned the dial and was relieved when he felt the hot water begin to flow over his aching body. Getting thrown around by that troll had left him with plenty of cuts and bruises, quickly making themselves known as his body began to loosen up.

At the age of 18, his body was beginning the transition from a boy to that of a young man. His muscles had become more developed over the years due to his active lifestyle and he had grown slightly taller. Not to mention that his is craving for adventures grew almost as much as his ravenous appetite. Finn finished showering, brushed his teeth and made his way back to his room to change for breakfast. He put on his blue shirt and shorts and threw his dirty clothes in the "dirty" pile. "Hey Finn! If you're hungry then you better come down now before Beemo decides to eat everything!" Jake hollered from below. "Yeah Finn!" added the little MO.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming down!" Finn climbed down the ladder and saw Beemo already sitting at the table and Jake serving it a plate of eggs with pancakes.

Ha! I was right!

"Morning, Jake." Finn inhaled the tantalizing scents through his nose, making his mouth water.

"Hey bro, are you alright? Looks like you got quite the shiner there." Jake asked.

"Yeah dude I'm fine. I'm still a little sore from yesterday but other than that I'm great."

Jake watched as Finn grabbed a plate and began to load it up with food. "Yeah and apparently really hungry. What are you looking for?" Jake asked, when he noticed Finn looking around desperately for something.

"Where's the special syrup that Breakfast Princess gave us?" Finn asked, questioningly.

"Oh, we ran out of it last week." Jake responded, with a mouth full of food. Finn looked down at his pancakes with disappointment. "Don't worry dude, we can always just save her again and get another batch." Jake reassured him.

"Yeah but I was really craving it this morning and it would have gone perfectly with these pancakes. Oh well, might as well dig in.", and with that Finn proceeded to ravage his plate. Having eaten their fill, Finn and Jake went over to sit on their comfy couch in the living room.

"So what do you want to do today Jake?" Finn asked as he rubbed his full stomach.

Jake stretched his stomach into a slightly larger size and started to rub his belly as he answered, "I was actually planning on visiting Lady for a couple days. PB told me last week that there is going to be a meteor shower tonight, except that instead of meteors, it is going to be food." Finn just looked at him like he was crazy. "Look dude I don't know how all that science mumbo jumbo works so I just leave all that stuff to PB." Jake said when he noticed the look Finn was giving him. "Anyway, its supposed to be pretty romantic, so I'm planning a picnic and a serenade for my woman." Jake said as he bobbed his eyebrows.

And who knows what else might happen later that night.

Just the thought was enough to bring a sly smile to his face. Finn knew what Jake was thinking about just by looking at him. "Well I wouldn't be surprised if I end up being an uncle again." Jake just huffed and got up to commence cleaning up the table.

As he began to wash the dishes he turned and gave Finn a look, expecting something. Finn got up and grabbed a towel to start drying off the washed dishes and started to place them away. "Come on Finn, you know that you gotta respect a man's P-biz and what Lady and I do on our personal time is our business. Besides, I thought you loved being uncle Finn." Finn thought back on the day he first saw Jake's pups. They were so small and cute and he remembered how proud Jake was. However, since rainicorns age rapidly, they quickly grew up and started lives of their own.

"Of course I do Jake but they just grew up so fast that I didn't even have time to be an uncle. They're all adults now and are way more mature than I am so it kinda feels weird when I really start think about it." Finn replied.

"Aw Finn you will always be their uncle, no matter how old they get." Jake said as he gave him a wet hug.

"Finn, if it makes you feel any better, you can be the uncle of my baby whenever I have one." Beemo said, trying to lift Finn's spirits.

Finn just chuckled, "Ok then Beemo, that sounds like a deal."

Beemo's face lit up with a digitized smile, "Yay for uncle Finn! Hmm, now all I have to do is get pregnant…" Beemo said as he pretended to rub the chin he didn't have. He jumped down from his chair at the table and started walking away. "See you later guys. I have to go ask Football for some advice." Finn figured that he was going to the bathroom to talk to himself in the mirror again.

That little guy sure is weird.

"So you got any plans for today bro?" Jake asked as he handed the last plate to Finn. "Got a date with anybody tonight, maybe with a cute princess? Or are you going to smooch with Marceline again?" Jake said as stretched himself close to Finn and made a smooching face, causing Finn to blush. "Jeez, come on Jake! We only did that because it was a dare, your dare to be exact, and besides, Marcy and I are just friends for now."

"Oh, just for now? So you mean there might be something later on?" Jake said with a grin on his face.

"Maybe Jake but who knows. I don't want to risk our friendship for something that might never happen."

Finn started to walk away, making Jake feel bad. "I'm just messing with you Finn. I know that's your P-biz so I'll respect it and stay out of it but I just want you to be happy bro. Its been almost three years since your break up with Flame Princess and you haven't had a girlfriend since. I'm just worried that maybe you're scared of trying because you might end up getting hurt again."

Finn knew that Jake was always looking out for him and deep down he knew that Jake was right. He was just scared of finding someone he cared about and messing things up. That's why he goes out on so many adventures, just to keep himself busy. While he is satisfied with the way things are at the moment, he sometimes finds himself wishing that things had gone differently.

Maybe if I wouldn't have been such an idiot then Phoebe and I could have kept on dating and ended up happy together. Maybe then she wouldn't have gotten married to that jerk, Lord Bronson.

Now Finn remembered why he didn't like to think about it. He could feel these old feelings trying to make their way to the surface again.

"Whoa dude, just take it easy."

Finn snapped out of his train of thought when he heard his brother's voice. He looked down and noticed how hard he was clenching his fists.

Its been three years and I still get riled up like this? Jeez.

"Hey Jake, I'm going to head over to the Candy Kingdom to tell Bubblegum that we took care of the mountain troll." Finn said as he started to make his way back upstairs, trying to clear his thoughts.

"Can't you just call her?" Jake called after him.

"I need to go buy some items from the candy market so I might as well stop by her place while I'm at it. Need anything from the candy store or candy market?"

"What? I didn't hear that last part."

"Do you need anything from the candy store?" Finn yelled.

There was a brief moment of silence, "What?"

Finn was starting to get annoyed. "Forget about it!"

Finn grabbed his hat off the bed and slipped it on, tucking in any blond hair that stuck out. "Hey Finn! If you're going to the Candy Kingdom can you stop by the candy store? We need sugar, milk and cereal. Actually, don't buy it there, its too expensive. We can stop by Grocery Kingdom later this week and stock up on what we need." Jake said. "Yes, mother." Finn grumbled to himself. He walked over to the wall mount that held his sword and retrieved it for his trip.

Still has some blood on it. Gotta clean it first.

He grabbed a wet towel from the kitchen and began to wipe it down.

Wouldn't want the other Finn to say that I don't take care of him.

The sword he carried on his journeys consisted of one solid steel piece with a blue orb above the handle. It was crafted from the essence of another universe's Finn, and he appropriately named it the Finn sword. He wasn't exactly sure if the other Finn was still 'alive' within the sword, but sometimes, when he peered into the blue orb, he felt as though the reflection he saw wasn't always his own. While not as light as his old grass sword, he could still lay down a beating with confidence when wielding this fine blade. Plus, he didn't have to worry about the sword taking his arm off with it if he ever lost it.

"Alright Jake, I'll be home later today and I'm taking my phone with me in case there is an emergency. Are you going to be home when I get back?" Finn asked, as he slipped on his signature green backpack and sheathed his sword in the backpack's special holder.

" I'll probably be at Lady's place by then." Jake answered, from somewhere in the house.

"Well I'm on my way then. Tell Lady I said hi!" and with that Finn stepped outside to meet the brand new day.

He always enjoyed taking walks around the grasslands because it helped to calm his mind. However, thinking about Phoebe, or now properly known as Flame Queen, brought up old feelings that he had tried to bury long ago. He thought about how their relationship had ended and even three years later he could still feel the sting of the sudden break up. His mind wandered to the memory of how he made a fool of himself after FQ had come looking for him, seeking his aid. She told him about how she was betrayed, poisoned, and run out of her castle after Don John released her father from his lamp. He had rushed into the fiery castle in an attempt to win her back but only succeeded in getting Phoebe and himself captured by Don John's hypnotized forces. In the end, Cinnamon Bun broke them out and they were able to reclaim the throne after Flame King, being the foolish evil leader he was, knocked out Don John in a fistfight, releasing the fire elementals under his spell. Finn remembered standing there in disbelief as CB proclaimed his love for Phoebe and then proceeded to take his place as her faithful knight. Even though their relationship ended up being strictly platonic, Finn couldn't forget the pathetic feeling of getting shown up in front of his ex-girlfriend by none other than CB.

"Come on dude, snap out of it!" Finn said as he shook his head, trying to clear these invasive thoughts from his mind. "There is no point of torturing yourself over something in the past."

Finn decided to think about something else and wondered what he was going to tell PB when she asked about the mountain troll.

Well it was big, dumb and ugly, but it was definitely way more aggressive than any other troll they had ever faced. It also ate through a good portion of the forest, so that is important as well.

As Finn was approaching the outskirts of the candy forest, he was able to fully survey the damage caused by yesterday's struggle. There were various uprooted trees scattered amongst their rooted brethren and multiple craters where large rocks had landed with violent force. "Dang it looks like a damn war zone out here. I wonder if Bubblegum is going to send out some workers to clean up this mess."

Finn reached the kingdom gates where he saw two banana guards standing at their posts. "How have you been Fi…whoa what happened to your face?" asked one of the banana guards, in shock.

"Oh this?" Finn pointed to his black eye. "Me and a troll had a difference of opinions about the treatment of the local environment and things got a little heated. Don't worry though, I made him see the error of his ways."

The banana guards just looked at one another, mouths agape. "Wow you took down the troll that was in the forest yesterday? I would have ran if I saw that thing coming after me!" one of the banana guards exclaimed.

That's probably why the princess called me yesterday.

Finn felt bad as soon as the thought popped into his head.

It's not their fault they aren't as skilled in fighting monsters like Jake and I are. At least they try.

"Don't worry bud, Jake and I will always be there to take care of any jingleblasters that come looking for trouble." Finn gave them an encouraging smile and a thumbs up. "So is the princess in?" Finn asked, getting back to the task on hand.

"Yep, she is in her castle but nobody has seen her in several days." answered one of the guards.

"Sounds like her alright." Finn said, as he proceeded to enter the castle. "I'll see you guys later."

Finn entered the castle grounds and took in the sights and sounds of the surrounding area.

The Candy Kingdom is Ooo's bustling center of commerce, politics and science. Though it doesn't look as big from the outside, it is easily one of the largest kingdoms in all of Ooo, if not the biggest. It's large, white castle walls and moat keep any would-be invaders at bay, and if push comes to shove, the kingdom is guarded by the two massive Gumball Guardians that stand ready to eradicate any threat at a moments notice. Those watchful sentinels are definitely a force to be reckoned with. Led by Colonel Candy Corn, the kingdom's military is composed of mainly banana guards and is second only to the Slime Kingdom in terms of military prowess. There is never a dull day in the Candy Kingdom, whether there is a festival, a gathering of princesses, or an attack by an ancient being of destruction, life in the Candy Kingdom never slows downs.

As Finn approached the palace, Peppermint Butler offered a greeting as he came out to meet him. "Hello Finn. How are you today?" asked the little mint. "Hiya Pep! I came to talk to the princess about the situation yesterday."

Peppermint pondered it for a moment. "Ah yes, the incident with the troll in the forest, am I correct? I'm assuming that's how you received that elegant black eye?" Pep asked, as he motioned to his right eye.

Finn reached up and softly touched the bruised part around his eye; it was tender and made his eyes misty. "Yeah that troll got me pretty good." Actually, it had been a hard hit, and he was surprised that he only got a black eye and nothing worse.

"Its nothing I can't handle of course. So can I see the princess?" Finn wanted to divert the focus of this conversation away from his black eye. He was starting to feel a little self-conscious.

"Of course Finn, right this way." Pep said, as he invited him into the palace.

There was candy staff going about their usual duties and the occasional banana patrol as they made their way to Bubblegum's lab. It was just another typical day in the palace. As they passed the princess's quarters, Finn couldn't help but sneak a peak into Bubblegum's room. It had been kept neat and tidy and looked as if it hadn't been used in a while.

Well those guards at the gate did mention something about not having seen the princess in days. She must be engrossed in something especially interesting. Glob knows how much she loves her experiments.

"So what has the princess been up to?" Finn asked, trying to satisfy his curiosity.

The little butler turned to look up at the human, "To be completely honest, I have no idea. Its been several days since she locked herself in her lab and I've only been able to see her when I bring her something to eat." Pep replied, with slight concern in his voice. "I had no idea that she had talked to you until I heard that you took down that wild beast in the forest. I figured that the princess had called you, though I'm not sure how she found out about it in the first place." They continued walking toward the lab and eventually found the door they were looking for. Pep leaned into the door and spoke into the microphone used to communicate with the inside. "Princess? May I come in? You have a visitor." Pep stepped back when he heard a slight clicking sound, indicating that the door had been unlocked. He opened the door and held it for Finn, giving a slight bow. "Ok Finn, good luck in there."

As Finn stepped inside he realized just how dark it was inside the research room. The only sources of light came from the candles strewn about the place, lighting up like beacons in the darkness. As his vision slowly adjusted to his surroundings he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive by the sight before him. There was a desk to his left that had pieces of papers strewn across it while pens and pencils littered the floor. Dirty plates were piled on top of a book with a title he couldn't even begin to pronounce. There were a couple of chairs on their sides, almost as if knocked over in a fit of frustration, and several whiteboards covered in complex formulas and equations. It smelled of stale air, wax and a little bit like Jake whenever he got wet and didn't dry quickly enough. He passed a rack containing all sorts of scientific instruments and was reminded of how incompetent he was when it came to anything relating to science. He kept looking around until he found the hallway leading to the main lab.

This place looks like it was donked up. What is this woman up to? Wait...what if something happened to PB?

He instinctively reached back to feel for his sword, reassured by the comfort of the handle in his grip. As he made his way farther down the hallway it began to lighten up and he could feel a light breeze coming from the opposite direction. When Finn reached the end of the hallway he noticed that it forked left, leading to the bathroom, and right, leading to the main lab. The source of the light and cool breeze was coming from an open window in the bathroom.

Well with a bathroom in here, of course she won't have a reason to leave her lab.

He turned right and slowly made his way to the main lab. He felt nervous as he tightened his grip on the handle of his sword and he could feel his heart rate quicken. He was ready to draw it in the event he had to fight off an experimental creation gone wrong; it wouldn't have been the first time. The sound of crunching glass stopped him dead in his tracks. He drew his sword as he turned around, ready to face the unknown threat. With nothing there to meet his challenge, he took a step forward and heard the crunching noise again. It was only when he looked down that he realized that he was the 'unknown' threat.

Jumpy much?

He let out a breath as he sheathed his sword and bent down to see what he had stepped on. It appeared to have been a beaker of some sort before it was broken, and it had been holding some sort of mushy liquid. He lightly put his finger to it, still unsure of what it was, and noticed that it was slightly tacky and smelled like something familiar. He wiped his hand off with the rag he carried in his backpack and decided to just make his way to the lab.

The first thing to greet him was an all too familiar smell. The faint scent of bubblegum lingered in the air and he immediately recognized who it belonged to. It was the fair princess of the Candy Kingdom, the ruling monarch in charge of the candy people and their grand civilization, and yet she was nowhere to be found. Finn wondered how such a sweet smell could leave him with such bittersweet feelings, but he knew why. The princess was a lot of things; she was beautiful, smart, caring, responsible, mature, and possessed many other qualities befitting a woman of her status. The one thing she could never be, however, was his. Try as he might, he knew the chances of him winning her heart over were slim. The same sense of responsibility that made her an effective leader also kept them apart. The safety and welfare of her kingdom came before all else, and she has demonstrated before that she would go to great lengths to ensure their continued survival. He had chased her years ago in the hopes that they could one day be together, only to be crushed by the unforgiving force that is reality. Even when he thinks back to how foolish it was, he couldn't blame himself for believing that he had a chance to capture her heart. She was his first love after all, even if he wasn't hers. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to accept this cold truth and find a way of moving on. Life has a weird way of balancing out the scales, and in time, he managed to find another to give his heart to, a certain fiery princess, but, alas, even that came to an end. His immaturity eventually pushed her away and, later on down the road, into the arms of another.

Finn delved deeper into the princess' lair, growing more worried with each passing second he wasn't able to find her.

Where the heck is she? This lab is only so big; there can't be that many places to hi-

"Finn."

It was merely a whisper, but the fact that it was right behind him and in his ear nearly made Finn jump out of his skin. Finn jumped forward and spun around at the same time, his heart racing away as it tried to find a way out of his chest. "P-P-Princess is that you?" Finn asked, slightly shaken.

"Yeah Finn, its me. Can you flip that switch next to you please?"

Finn reached around blindly for the switch until he flipped it on. He was immediately bathed in a sea of white as the light turned on, forcing him to close his eyes for a couple seconds. When he opened them he looked around the room until he spotted with whom he was here to talk to. The princess was a mess. Her normally smooth hair was unkempt and, by the looks of it, was apparently caught in a tornado. Her bright pink eyes were puffy and she had bags under her eyes, making it look like she was permanently squinting. Her lab coat had food and chemical stains and was wrinkled, indicating it hadn't been taken off in a couple days and probably slept in too.

"Gob you almost gave me a heart attack!" Finn said, as he tried to steady his heartbeat. "Are you okay PB?"

Bubblegum yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Yes Finn I'm fine, just a little tired. Did Peppy send you? Also, what do you plan on doing with that?" PB pointed at Finn's hands. Confused, Finn looked down and saw the sword in his hands, realizing that he must have instinctively drawn it. Finn relaxed and took a slow breath, feeling the tension leave his body. He sheathed his sword and looked back to the princess. "Pep didn't call for me, I was already on my way here to inform you that we took care of the troll that was destroying the forest."

PB stood there, lost in thought. "How long ago was that again?"

Man she is really out of it. Maybe I should just come back tomorrow after she has had some rest.

Finn saw the condition she was in and decided to get her to sleep before she keeled over from exhaustion. "Hey PB, no offense, but you look jacked up. Why don't you get some rest and I can just tell you about it tomorrow?" PB shook her head and went over to take a seat at a nearby table. She crossed her arms flat on the table and rested her head on them. "I'm not that tired, honest. Go ahead and tell me about the troll."

Finn knew better than to believe her in the state she was in but decided the sooner he gave his report the sooner she would go to bed. "Well this troll was unlike any that Jake and I had faced before. It was huge, easily towering over the surrounding trees." Finn emphasized by stretching an arm high above his head. "By the time we got to the location a large patch of trees had already been stripped of their cotton candy. It was more powerful than your average mountain troll and this one had an extra head and an extra pair of arms to boot. It was highly aggressive, and it bombarded us with rocks, stones and even trees that it had ripped up from the ground. We managed to chop off its arms before it escaped back into the forest and we think that it most likely bled out." Finn finished and looked at PB, waiting for a response.

"Interesting. Well there have been several reports of similar incidences across Ooo, and while it isn't uncommon for most trolls to feed on candy and candy organisms, they usually never do it to the current rate that we are seeing now. Large portions of candy forests across Ooo are being devoured like never before. This is something…" PB paused as she let out a big yawn, "that I'll have to look into further. I can't let these trolls keep on janking up my forests."

PB was having trouble keeping her eyes open so Finn decided to wrap things up. "Sounds like my job here is done then. By the way, I was wondering how you heard about the troll if you were locked away in here this whole time."

Bubblegum casually waved her hand around, "Oh I've got my…ways Finny. Old habits…die…hard."

Finn watched as she finally gave in to the heavenly allure of sleep and he could hear the sound of relaxed breathing, indicating that she had fallen into her peaceful slumber. "Um, hello? Princess? Well I guess she is out cold." Finn rubbed his neck, not knowing what to do. Since she probably wasn't going to wake up anytime soon he decided that it wouldn't be favorable for her to sleep in a cold laboratory, as compared to her comfy room. He walked over to her, picked her up bridal style, and made his way out of the lab.

She was surprisingly heavy for a princess, but this was something he would never say out loud, of course. Jake taught him that is was a cardinal sin to make a comment about a woman's weight, even if meant in a positive way. Then again, Bubblegum wasn't exactly your 'typical' princess. He had watched her duke it out with Ricardio, she survived a heated 'debate' with the Flame Queen and had even put up with the Ice King whenever he used to kidnap her all the time, all while running the biggest kingdom of Ooo. Even though Finn knew that she could be rather cold and detached sometimes, she wasn't exactly an angel, Finn had to admit that she was one tough girl.

As Finn passed the bathroom and entered the hallway, a strong, cool breeze came in through the window, causing Bubblegum to wrap one of her arms around Finn's neck in an attempt to snuggle closer to his warmth. Even though he knew it was probably just a reflex, he couldn't help but feel his face get a little warmer. He could feel her softly breathing against his neck and decided that it would be wise to hurry before he got any more excited. He got to the door and pressed the button with his foot, opening it, and made his way to the princess' quarters.

When he entered her room, he could tell just how drastic the change in room temperature was between the lab and her room. It was noticeably warmer so he didn't have to worry about her getting sick in that cold laboratory. He laid her down on the bed and was about to leave when he remembered how dirty the lab coat that she was sleeping in was. He debated whether or not to take it off and realized that he didn't know what she was wearing underneath.

I don't want to seem like some creep, stripping her clothes off while she sleeps, but that thing is totes dirty.

He pondered it for another moment and determined that it was too risky considering she could have only been wearing a bra and panties for all he knew, and decided to take the gentleman's route. He kicked his curiosity to the curb, for now, and quietly made his way out of the room. He silently closed the door and turned around just as Peppermint Butler made his way towards him.

"So how is the princess? Is she ok?" the little butler asked, anxiously.

Finn was glad that he decided not to take off her coat; Pep would have shown up and maybe gotten the wrong impression. "Yeah she is fine overall but she is a real mess. She fell asleep with her dirty lab coat on so you might want to take care of that. She just needs some rest and she'll be back to normal. Whatever that is."

Pep opened the door and peeked inside, "Thank you for taking care of her Finn. I'll see to it that she gets her rest."

Finn just shrugged his shoulders, "No probs man, I'll see you later Pep." Finn left the candy butler to his duties and left the palace.

It was mid-afternoon so he decided to stop by his favorite restaurant for a meal and then afterwards he stopped by the local blacksmith to buy a whetstone and some oil to sharpen his blade with. It was getting dark by the time he left the kingdom and nighttime quickly caught up to him on the way home. Fireflies shone within the forest as he hurried home and the moon's light shone brightly, dampening the darkness a bit. Yellow orbs danced amongst the trees around him as he made his way past the forest and into the grasslands. He glanced back to the trees to catch another glimpse of the fireflies dancing in the wind, but was surprised when he saw two faint red orbs among them. However, as soon as he laid his eyes upon them, they quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The creepy ones always come out at night…

As he turned back toward home, a bright light caught his eye, and he gazed up at the stars to see them falling out of the sky. Finn stood there, mesmerized by the lightshow, watching as brilliant streaks of light danced back and forth amongst the heavens. He lay in the soft grass and enjoyed the spectacle for a while longer. It was a beautiful sight, but Finn felt a little pang in his chest. He had no idea why but it felt like he was missing something at that precise moment, something he dearly needed. When his eyes had their fill, he got up and ran the rest of the way home. He showered, put on his pajamas and jumped into his bed. With his hands behind his head he stared up at the ceiling, recollecting his thoughts while awaiting blissful sleep. As his eyes grew heavy, he remembered that Jake was going to be gone for a couple days.

Jake mentioned something earlier about a meteor shower tonight. Although, he also mentioned something about food falling from the sky. Hmm, I wonder what Jake and Lady are up to…on second thought, nevermind.
