Fionna sat down with a hmph. This morning had been a total disaster and it seemed as if another fiasco would peek its head around the next corner at any second. The trio had finally gathered around the dining table to discuss details while scarfing down Cake's bacon pancakes, each made fluffy to bite into, and crunchy to chew (Don't ask me how, it's magic). The boy was very quiet and didn't seem like he was going to bother starting the conversation and Cake was a little too busy admiring her own cooking. So Fionna decided to chime in.
"Why don't we introduce ourselves first? That'll be a good start. My name is Fionna, and the arrogant chef over here is my best friend Cake. How about you?"
The boy looked up slowly. His cheeks were still tinted red and you could tell from his innocent eyes that he was still contemplating whether he could pass off the recent incident as irrelevant.
"Erm… My name's Finn… I have a friend too, haha. He's actually pretty good at making bacon pancakes. But the only time he's usually arrogant with his cooking is when he's showing off his Finn cakes…"
Finn… huh? That's a weird name.
"Alright look here. I want you to explain yourself and explain yourself well. You come crashing into my treehouse, question the rationality of a tampon, and only now have I gotten your name. I want to know where you're from, and what you're doing here." Fionna demanded.
To be honest, Fionna tried very hard to avoid the topic of his exposure earlier. While she kept her cool at the time, the image of a half-naked Finn was implanted in her head and made her blush. Not out of excitement… more out of embarrassment.
"To tell you the truth" Finn began, "I honestly have no idea what's going on either. Princess Bubblegum made this weird invention with lighting and electric shocks. She shocked me a lot."
Fionna stared at him. She didn't have time to listen to his weird fetish filled stories. She needed answers.
"But then the weather got all bonked up, and I got sucked up by this tornado rain thing, and when I woke up, I was here…"
Fionna wasn't exactly sure if this explained things more clearly, or just jumbled it up more. Who was this 'Princess Bubblegum'? And why can't Finn choose better words when he described things? Maybe health education was the only thing he learned…
"Okay well… that explains… nothing. Why don't we go see Prince Gumball and see if he knows anything?"
At times like these, Fionna always believed that asking the smartest guy she knew would do the trick. Even if he was a little goofy, he had this sort of charm to him that made her feel welcome.
The trio scarfed down the rest of their bacon pancakes and got ready to leave. Fionna made sure to pack enough food for the road in her signature green backpack, and stashed her crystal sword in there too.
The thought occurred to her that her gear, and frankly her entire appearance was exactly like Finn's, only gender swapped. It was weird, but it almost gave her a sense of ease. Since he looked exactly like her, she felt like she was looking at herself.
Fionna shook this thought out of her system.
'No, he's still unknown. He could be an imposter, or a killer. I gotta stay focused!'
Climbing onto the back of Cake, Fionna and Finn began the journey to the Candy Kingdom, in hopes of finding some answers.
