Chapter 5- A Second Show
Finn led Princess Bubblegum to what was left of the castle.
The princess clung to him for her life. Science walked along side them. When they got to the princess' room, everyone sulked onto the large bed. All three fell asleep; and all had nightmares. PB woke up screaming.
"What the nuts?" Exclaimed Finn. "Princess, are you alright?"
She hugged him. "Oh, Finn! I had this dream... he's back at his-"
"Well of power." They said together.
"I had the same dream!" Finn said. "Do you know what that means...?"
"It means we have to go!" The princess said. "Science, stay here, and don't get hurt."
The rat blinked and nodded in response. Both ran out of the bed room and out the castle. They carefully stepped across the rubble.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry," Finn said.
"For what?" Asked PB.
"Stepping on your foot."
"You didn't step on my foot."
"Then who said that?"
"Well I did, of course. Who else is laying on the ground in pain?" The debris moved to reveal a dog with bruises and a scratch on his left ear.
"JAKE!" The two kids said together.
"And Lady," added Jake as he helped up the ranicorn.
They all ran over to each other, forming a group hug, and greeting everyone in joy.
"We thought you both were..." Bubblegum trailed off.
"Croaked." Finished Finn.
"Naw," explained Jake. "We took cover when I was too beat up. Lady Ranicorn came out of the castle for me, so she and I just hid under all the wrecked stuff while the Lich passed."
Lady said something in Korean.
"What?" Asked Finn.
"She said, 'how did you get the princess?'"
"What do you mean?"
Again, she said something in Korean.
"She says, 'before I ran to Jake, the princess vanished.'"
Finn turned to face PB. "Yeah, how did you get to the dark room?"
"Well... I guess I just... disappeared. I don't know," she said.
"Hmm." He wondered. "Well, at least we are together."
"That's right," the princess grabbed Finn's hand.
Jake poked Finn on the forehead. "The question is, are YOU two together?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Uh..."
"Um..."
All of a sudden, Lady started yelling something and pointed to something behind PB and Finn.
"What is it, Lady... OHMYGLOB! Run, you two, run!" Yelled Jake.
"Wha- princess, watch out!" Finn tried to grab the princess, but someone else beat him.
"Ahhhhh! Finn, help me!"
The Lich looked down at the hero. "You can't save her this time."
Finn growled and leaped at the villain. He kicked the Lich's face, punched and pulled, but it was no use. He looked at the princess. "Be safe." He said as he took Bubblegum and threw her to land in Jake's enlarged hands.
The Lich King flicked the boy off once more to land with his friends.
"Finn, wouldn't you rather join me?"
"Never."
"Then join your girlfriend and your pets for a front row seat to an unavoidable show called death!" The Lich took all his power and cast his green fire.
