Jake got up when he heard a knock on the door. Unlike regular dogs though, he didn't race to the door. He found it hard to navigate through all the piled up gold.
'Who could be here at this time?' he thought. 'It isn't even time for me and Finn to wake up yet.'
He was very surprised to see a royal had arrived to the Treehouse, though he could understand why she might have come. Many princesses had a thing for Finn.
"Can I help you?" Jake asked.
"I'm here for Finn the Human. I wanted to properly express my gratitude for what he said the other night."
For some reason, she felt the urge to see his face, and as she waited for Jake's answer, she got antsy.
"Okay," Jake told her. "I'll go wake him up."
When Jake went to go wake up Finn, he could tell Finn was having some sort adventure in his dream.
"Oh, what time is it?" Finn asked as he stirred awake.
"Uh, adventure time?" Jake offered. "But a princess is here to see you. This one is made of water, or something."
"Water Princess is here?"
He changed into his familiar blue shirt and short, green backpack, and white hat. He jumped down the ladder and headed for the door.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asked Water Princess. "Jake said you wanted to see me."
"I just wanted to thank you properly. And I just wanted to hang out with you today."
"Ok, sounds good."
Finn went back inside to tell Jake he was leaving.
Jake was eating one of his favorite breakfasts, pancakes with bacon inside.
"Where are you going?" Jake asked.
Jake had a feeling this had to do with getting over Flame Princess.
"Just having fun with Water Princess. I'll be back in a couple of hours."
Finn went to join Water Princess.
"Hey, so what do you want to do anyway? Want to get spaghetti?"
"Maybe in a bit."
"Want to check out a dungeon? Don't worry, stay close to me and you'll be safe."
"Okay." was Water Princess' answer.
As they made their way through the dungeon entrance, they heard a struggle, as they saw a familiar floating, dark-haired figure fighting a cat that Finn had sworn he'd seen before.
"I will feast on your flesh and the-" the cat stopped. "What is that scent? Ugh! Frank the human! I will kill you! Don't think for a second that I'm still scarred if that dog.
"It's Finn," Finn corrected. "Hey Marceline, what are you doing here?"
"Just hanging out," she said, wrestling the cat. "Who's your friend?"
"Water Princess, pleased to meet you." Water Princess stated.
"Cool, well have fun you two, but not too much." She offered a tch-tch and two fingers guns.
Finn and Water Princess proceeded to go through the dungeon, finding a large jewel, and realizing that Finn had already been to this dungeon.
"Well that was fun," Finn said. "I'll see you some other time."
As Finn climbed the ladder, he heard Jake on the phone.
"Yeah, I already told Lady. I have a bad feeling about this. Well catch you later Princess."
"Who was that?" Finn asked as Jake hung up the phone. "Oh,I was just talking to PB. So, how'd it go?"
"Great, we ran into Marceline and that one cat who tried to kill me before. Then we fought monsters and skeletons."
"Sound fun."
"So Jake, what did you have a bad feeling about?"
"Oh, uh, nothing. Just some science junk she was telling me about."
"Okay then."
Finn fell asleep with, for the first time since the breakup, a smile come into his face. Not from an adventure, but from a girl.
When Finn closed his eyes to sleep, there stood a familiar figure in his dream. Flame Princess with a heart of fire around her. But then she began to turn purple, and then blue, her fire changing into something heavier and clearer. There she stood. Water Princess.
Finn awoke from his dream.
'Is this, no it couldn't be,' he thought.
He still wasn't quite over Flame Princess. But, they still weren't on the best terms.
He looked over at Jake's bed, but he wasn't there. Finn knew he was at one out two places: Lady Rainicorn's house or the kitchen. Sure enough, he smelled the scent of one of his favorite dishes: spaghetti.
"Hey Jake," Finn said. "Mind if I get two plates. I promised Water Princess that I would get her some."
"Go ahead, but don't forget it's movie night. I got the Heat Signature 4 movie, so that we could watch it."
"Who's all coming?"
"Same as last time. Lady, Shelby, BMO, Marceline, PB, LSP, Ice King, and Gunter."
"Sounds like fun, I'd better get going, I'm going to invite Water Princess. She'd like Heat Signature 4."
That night, everyone showed up, with OJ for the princesses, Root Beer for the guys, tomato juice for Marceline, hot cocoa for BMO, and a thimble of milk for Shelby. A gentle knock sounded at the door.
"I'll get it," Jake said. Of course, it was Water Princess.
Jake got her, oddly enough, water, which she took a sip of.
"Who's that?" Lumpy Space Princess asked.
"I'm Water Princess. Finn invited me."
Immediately, Princess Bubblegum saw what Jake was taking about.
'Oh Finn, this isn't good.'
She noticed the smile Finn has on his face, and like Jake, thought that perhaps Finn was attaching himself to the young princess. After all, it had happened before with Flame Princess.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud cry from the movie.
Finn had made popcorn for everyone to enjoy. Ice King shared with Gunter, Marceline with PB, Shelby with LSP, while Jake shared his with Lady. Finn offered his to share with Water Princess.
The ganelg enjoyed the suspense the movie offered.
While eating popcorn, Finn reached down and grabbed...water. He looked down and saw that he had grabbed Water Princess' hand, causing both to blush, eventually shrugging it off.
The movie turned your to be the best of the series, which wasn't saying much.
Finn was still watching the movie when he realized his hand was one again holding hers. She didn't seem to notice. He had done it subconsciously. Nevertheless, he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he kept his hand there, Water Princess still not noticing.
She did notice, however, at the end of the movie, when Finn took his hand from hers.
"Sorry," he told her.
"It's alright."
Soon everyone left, and it was just Finn, Jake, and Water Princess. Jake went to bed as Finn said goodbye to the princess.
"Well, see you tomorrow," he said to her, still embarrassed.
"Okay," Water Princess said. She then hugged him, and without a second thought, kissed him on he cheek.
Just like last time, he went to sleep, with a smile in his face.
