Jeff wondered if he was feeling this for the right reasons. Maybe he was just doing it because he couldn't stand the lonely nights at his castle anymore. Maybe he just needed to blow off some steam. Maybe he saw some resemblance of Elena in her. Maybe he really did love her. It didn't matter, he was defiantly feeling something for Princess Bubblegum. He wasn't sure how to approach it. He still loved Elena, even if she wasn't...around. He wasn't sure he could let go of her just yet, despite how long it had been since they were together. Jeff dismissed these thoughts and went to his balcony to get some fresh air.

The kingdom was silent as he stepped out to the platform. They knew Azreth was going to escape soon. Buildings were boarded up, stores were closed, and the streets were almost bare, aside from a few people here and there. They were terrified, they knew that everything they knew and loved could be gone in a flash. Azreth had these people by their throats, and he wasn't even out yet. Finn's reputation had been ruined by Azreth as well. Finn had been associated with the destruction he caused under Azreth's power, and it didn't help that his behavior had been influenced by Azreth as well. Most people cowered in fear or looked away when Finn came near, and for good reason too. It was like this way in other Kingdoms as well, and virtually all over Ooo.

Ooo was at it's absolute worst, which begged the question, how would they defend against Azreth? Jeff thought on this for a moment, and finally decided to see if Finn wanted to discuss it.

He could feel it. He knew it was coming. A golden opportunity. He just had to wait. Wait until they made their move and fucked everything up. It wouldn't be long now, and Azreth knew it.

Finn woke up with the light shining in his eyes. He sat up and realized Marceline wasn't with him anymore. He sighed in disappointment, he thought she would have at least stayed the night. He sat up and smelled something in the air. Bacon pancakes. He put on some clothes and walked into the kitchen. Sure enough, Jake was at the stove, making the signature dish. "Hey man.", Finn said as he sat down at the kitchen table.

"Hey.", Jake responded. He scooped the food out of the pan, put it on two plates, and set it down at the table. "Been awhile since we actually did something like this. Just sat down and talked, I mean."

"Yeah. I miss stuff like this."

"You've just been so distant lately. I feel like we've been growing apart, especially with all the crap that's been going on."

"I know. I haven't been easy to be with." Finn paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm sorry."

"Hm?", Jake had a mouth full of food.

"I'm sorry for all the crap I've done. I hurt a lot of people, including you."

"It's alright man. You're still my brother no matter what. I understand."

"Thanks. Hey, did Marceline say anything before she left?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot, she said she had to leave cause her dad needed to see her or something."

"At least she had a good reason.", Finn thought.

Hey everyone! I thought I'd say that this is the point in the story where there will be less choices. The story wil start to make it's own (or rather I will make) ending based on choices you've made.
