The trio were walking towards the treehouse, Flame Princess leading the way and the walk home was quiet which was awkward to say the least till Darren broke the silence. "Uh Flame Princess." Darren asked trying to be as courteous as possible not wanting to be burned to death.
"Yes, uh what's your name?" Flame Princess asked.
"Darren." He answered simply.
"Okay, and what do you need." FP asked.
"Some answers if you'd be so kind." Darren asked still playing the courteous card.
"Which are." FP asked.
"Does your Kingdom have ANYTHING with placing things back in time of anyway or possibility." Darren begged of her, considering she was the last Kingdom to help. There was no way in Hell he was going to Lemon Kingdom, and Bonnie was taking her sweet as time with the damn device.
"Sorry but no, as far as I can tell there are no such things around my Kingdom that could do that." Flame Princess apologized as Darren's demeanor turned to anger with sadness.
"Thanks anyways." Darren thanked her as she noticed his sad expression across his face, Flame Princess looked around to see Darren with his head down hands in his pocket as she stopped as he continued to walk.
"Finn." Flame Princess asked.
"Hmm." Finn responded with a warm smile.
"Do you mind telling me who he is?" Flame Princess asked, time passed as Finn told her why Darren was stuck there as what they were looking for eventually getting to the treehouse. Darren opened the door and let himself fall on top of the couch squishing BMO at the process as the poor little game device squirmed to get out.
"Well I'll see you later Finn, you two uh Darren." Flame Princess spoke as Darren waved weakly at her face still on the pillow as BMO popped out of Darren's side 'breathing' in air. "Okay." Flame Princess spoke as she flew towards her Kingdom this time as Finn waved good-bye.
10 minutes later Darren was still on the couch Darren kept hearing sighing as he turned his head slightly to see Finn head down his thinking face on as he looked at the floor blankly. "Okay I'll bite why the hell are you sad, I'm the only one that is suppose to be gloomy around here." Darren asked in an annoyed tone.
Finn opened his mouth then closed it again, as he tried to talk as he finally spoke. "I'm worried about Flame Princess I wanted to ask her if she was all right, instead I was too scared to." Finn said as he layed his head down. Darren got up walked passed Finn as Finn took no notice till after some time till his blood ran cold for the second time that day.
"Hello Flame Princess." Darren's voice was heard as Finn shoot out of his chair and ran towards Darren's voice to see him on the emergency phone as he spun around to see Finn mouth agape as he yelled/whispered towards him.
"What are you doing?" Finn yelled/whispered as Darren just looked at him blankly.
"Yeah it's me Darren." Darren continued to talk through the phone.
"Oh glad to hear you're fine, so what's the emergency." FP asked.
"It's about Finn." Darren continued.
"Oh what about him." FP asked.
"He's worried about you." Darren said quite frankly as Darren turned to see Finn ready to kill him as he simply smiled.
"He-he is." Fp asked intrigued as she regained her posture. "I mean okay and." She asked.
"He's worried about you, and he wants to know if you want to hang out tomorrow. Say tomorrow at noon. He just wants to make sure you're all right, if that's all right with you." Darren asked as he could feel Finn's rage spread through out the room.
"YES, I mean yes, I'll be okay with that." FP spoke excitement seeping through her voice.
"All right I'll tell him." Darren said as he hung up the phone. "HAHAHAHAH oh my hahaha I've been holding that in since I picked up the phone, hey Finn ahhhhhhhh."
"So damn...worth it, hahghg." Darren laughed/coughed after he hung up the phone Finn delivered 5 punches to his face, 3 knee to the gut hits and threw Darren out the window and yet somehow lived. "Hey Finn getting ready for your date." Darren managed to yell holding his sides it has been a whole day of non stop remarks from both Darren and Jake, Finn was close to kicking Darren's ass, again.
"It's not a date." Finn told them as he placed a white jacket on, he had the best blue jeans on that weren't faded or torn anywhere and was borrowing one of Darren's black shirts and some sneakers he also didn't have his hat on as his hair was free short but covered his head with hair. As for Finn's thoughts on this he secretly thanked Darren but didn't want to be some what forced, so he kinda did went over the top with throwing him out the window but he as lucky it wasn't on any of the higher levels or he would have been in the hospital for a week.
"Yeah right if this isn't a date then I'm the nicest guy in the world, and I'm already calling bullshit on myself." Darren remarked as he smiled towards Finn.
"Yeah yeah." Finn said as he left through the door.
"Is he gone." Jake asked popping his head out of the top floor.
"Yup, got everything." Darren asked Jake.
"Yup." Jake said as he showed a picnic basket.
"And he thought I was going to be on this couch till I healed, damn wrong. All right let's go see how Finny does on his date." Darren asked as Jake picked up Darren as he screamed in pain as Jake remarked for him to deal with it.
Finn was within the border Fire Kingdom, as he kept fighting himself in his head. 'This isn't a date Finn, just a nice visit to a friend that you think is Mathematical, no no, don't mess this up. But-'
"Finn." Finn snapped back to attention as he heard Flame Princess's voice Finn looked towards her she wore a knee length dress it was a light red dress with a red strip through her waist, below the strip the dress turned white she wore red shoes and knee length socks her flame hair went down to her back a smile on her face as she walked towards him. He couldn't help but blush a bit as he admired her beauty.
"Yo champ how'ts it been with you." Finn looked down to see Flambo by Flame Princess's side.
"Flambo what are you doing here." Finn asked the little pyro creature.
"I'm here to help miss dame here get you into the Fire Kingdom." Flambo spoke as he began to chant an incantation symbols floating in the air then spat on Finn's cheek as he turned blue. "Well later you two I'll leave you two alone." Flambo said as he scampered away leaving the teens to themselves.
"Why do we have to be up here." Jake asked as they sat on top of the tree.
"Cause Bubblegum won't help us. Last time I went for some help she threw a freaking book to my face." Darren told him as he munched on a turkey sandwich.
"Why?" Jake asked looking towards Finn as he saw Finn and Flame Princess walking.
"Something about research, and some stuff I didn't understand. As well as her finding some notes for the machine to get me back but she doesn't understand it."
Finn was walking through the Fire city many merchants and city folk walking among the streets some bowing down to Flame Princess some of the kids coming up to her handing her some flowers as she smiled warmly to the small fire children. Both blushing when the children commenting Finn as her boyfriend. "Adorable little ones, huh." Finn commented as they continued their walk through the city.
"Yeah. Under my ruling the children have been more honest and caring towards everyone." Flame Princess told.
"I can see, you've done a remarkable job with everyone. Even by yourself you managed great things." Finn commented her as she let a small blush escape her cheeks.
"Thanks Finn." Flame said as she admired Finns words. 'No, we're friends now, he probably got over you already anyways, but he cares. No you can't get heart broken again, just remain calm and-'
"Flame Princess?" Finn's voice got her attention.
"Huh, yes." She asked with a smile.
"I was calling your name for a while. Is everything okay." Finn asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes I'm fine Finn, thanks for asking I was just enjoying this time ruling a kingdom is a tough job." Flame Princess told as Finn looked around for a bit as he came to a specific place.
"Come on." Finn said as he took her hand and started to kinda drag her along.
"Finn where are we going." Flame Princess asked amused to see Finns active and joyful attitude again after so long. They stopped at a movie theater.
"So FP which movie do you wanna watch." Finn asked her.
"Which ever I guess, but why a movie." Flame asked thinking Finn was trying to make this into a date, which she was hoping to.
"So you could sit down and relax instead of walking around all day in the hot weather." Finn told her as he paid the fire elemental some gold coins for two tickets to a random movie.
"Your movie will be starting in any minute sir, and...your highness uh never you don't have to pay it's-" The worker stopped when Flame Princess raised her hand.
"Today I'm just a normal person, so I would like if you didn't inform anyone I'm here." FP asked as the worker bowed as they entered the building.
"People don't fully know you're out of your castle." Finn asked her as she shook her head. "Then whose in charge for the moment?"
"Cinnamon Bun." Fp answered
"Cinnamon Bun, Cinnamon Bun, up here." FK spoke from the top of the lamp he was imprisoned of down to Cinnamon Bun who was sitting on the royal chair.
"Huh?" Cinnamon Bun asked as he looked up.
"Yeah up here, free me and I'll give you this piece of candy." FK waved a shard of coal towards him. As Cinnamon Bun laughed and went towards the wheel that lowered the lantern. FK laughed at the buffoons stupidity but before he could get out he was splashed with water. FK yelled in pain as he looked up to see Cinnamon Bun with buckets of it splashing on him. Then after being too weak Cinnamon Bun went inside snatched the coal and placed the lantern back up at it's usual spot as he chewed on the coal smiling. "Damn you." FK breathed out.
"I'm sure he can handle it." FP said walking down the hall towards the black room as the two found seats and waited for the movie to begin.
"Well they went inside the theater and this thing doesn't have x-ray vision so now what, and this turkey sandwich tastes amazing." Darren said towards Jake.
"Oh that's not turkey that's meat man." Jake said as Darren stopped chewing for a bit hearing that as then he slowly continued to chew the sandwich. "So we got time to waste wanna play card wars." Jake asked taking the game out of the basket.
"Sure why not."
Inside the theater Finn was regretting asking the man for a random movie to be picked cause the guy gave him a chick flick. It wasn't till he was inside he noticed that many of the people there were couples that came for tier-two. Finn continuously apologized swearing he didn't know of the movie being this. FP said it was fine she always wanted to watch the movie, even with everything said the two felt a little odd sitting next to each other as they saw other people kissing as they tried to focus on the movie.
"It's been so long since I've seen you." The people on the movie talked.
"I know what you mean, I've thought of you everyday." The man spoke.
"I've missed you too. Everyday just hiding my emotions from you afraid of getting hurt again." The woman spoke, as the two began to get uncomfortable for that is how they were feeling since their break up. Both taking some gulps as they reached for some popcorn eating some nervously as their hands meet once.
"Sorry." They responded to each other at the same time as they went back towards the movie that was being shown as the movie was coming to a kiss scene as the two teens shifted within their seats. As they reached for some more popcorn their hands meet once again this time not pulling away as their hands intertwined as they grasped each others hands they looked towards each other both of their eyes wide admiring each other their eyes twinkling. Finn's hand hesitantly reaching out as he touched her cheek Flame gasping at the sudden touch Finn recoiling his hand then reaching for her cheek once more. Both of them shaking for what they were doing and were allowing to happen, Finn's hand touching her cheek feeling her warmth as FP just sat there feeling the hand glide through her cheek placing a hand on Finns hand that was on her cheek she saw Finn leaning forward. Finn not even thinking anymore as FP thought whether to stop him as their lips touched it was a soft kiss as they took it a little further as they let their tongues dance in each others mouths playing with each other. This time no disaster well not to them as they continued to kiss they were both unaware of FP's flames extending and changing all the people inside the room to tiny Flambits by accident as they continued to kiss they didn't wish for it to end.
Darren was still on the branch of the tree looking toward the city with some binoculars bored out of his mind, right now wishing TV still existed so he could complain how much it sucked. Jake was looking shaky, desperate, and scared, he was losing on Card Wars, he was pretty sure he could beat Darren. But Darren was just reading the cards and did what they said they would do, he honestly had no idea what he was doing. "All right your turn." Jake said after his 'strategizing'.
"About time I've been watching them for ever and it got boring." Darren said looking at the cards in his hand.
"Watching who?" Jake asked still eying the board seeing he was close to being annihilated.
"Finn and FP, who do you think , they've been sitting on a bench holding hands and what appear to be sharing laughs and kissing for like 20 minutes." Darren said bored.
"WHAT?" Jake yelled.
"What." Darren asked not paying attention to his yells.
"Why didn't you tell me." Jake spoke.
"I did, you just didn't listen."
"Finn I loved that you wanted us to have this time together." FP said clinging to Finn's arm as she rested her head on his shoulder his head on top of her hair of fire.
"Actually to tell the truth Darren forced me, but I'm actually over joyed with the fact you and I are... actually are we back together?" Finn asked hoping for the answer he was hoping for.
"Yes Finn we're back together, but for the mean time please keep it on the down low. News will spread well like my wild fire if news gets out about this. So please keep it a secret till I have the guts to tell my kingdom." FP asked of Finn looking deep into Finn's blue eyes.
"Yes FP I'll keep it a secret at long as I can do this." FP said leaning in kissing Finn on the lips FP's fire spreading again then lowering once the kiss ended.
"Just make sure you don't do what you did last time." FP said jokingly. "Or I'll kill you this time." She spoke menacingly her eyes turning red as Finn's eyes dilated in fear.
"Sure I've learned from my stupid actions from the past." Finn assured her as she smiled kindly at him changing her angered face to the smile Finn always admired. "Well I guess you have to be back to the castle." Finn said.
"Unfortunately, but we can do this weekly right." FP asked kindly.
"Of course, anywhere you want to go." Finn told her as she clinged to him. Finn got up leading FP back to her castle.
"Well things seem to have gone well, all right let's go back home before he finds out we've been watching him."
"Not yet." Jake yelled.
"What why?" Darren asked.
"Not till I beat you." Jake said.
"You're not going to win."
"Oh yeah I dare you to-"
"I use the uh- Meteor of the Birthing Rewrite?" Darren spoke as the whole board seemed to be nuked killing everything on the field.
"NOOOO what did you do." Jake said quivering as he saw what ever was left of his kingdom reduced to ash.
"I killed both our fields, the end, all right lets go." Darren said holding his side as he looked down to see themselves 100ft above the ground.
"Oh no we're not you're gonna, whoa, whoa." Jake said losing balance as he grabbed Darren's shirt dragging both of them down as they crashed through the branches hitting the floor hard. Leaving both groaning as food fell on them as well as some cards and the board to fall on their heads.
"Jake...I'm going to kick your ass once I regain feeling to my legs."
