"Hey wake up"

"Uhggg... Finn it's too early" Bonnibel waved her hand off, obviously mind is still asleep.

"Come on, wake up it's already morning sleepy head." He said, shaking her up.

Her eyes opened seeing the pink ceiling of her room. She looked around, barely seeing the environment around her. Eventually landing her sights on a blurred figure of Finn the human who happily staring at her. She smiled lovingly.

"Morning" she said

"Good morning Peebles. I got something for you" he turned to his back and grabbed a tray and set it in front of Bonnibel. A tray full of dishes of eggs, bacons, bread and two mugs of coffee; everything that is mouth watering.

"Breakfast in Bed dear, told you will have a buffet." He said.

She sat up, exposing her two perky breast and move the table towards her. "Thanks" she said as she began to dig in.

"Your welcome."

"Did you already ate?"

"No"

"Well join me." She said handing a fork full of eggs.

He took it "Sure."

They shared the breakfast together, staring at one another while eating. Every now and then Bonnibel would blush and looked away from embarrassment. he would reached out and turn her head back towards him. Her blush is going deeper.

"Stop staring like that." She said, lowering her gaze.

"I just can't stop staring at your beauty that's all." He said.

"Stop it" she said with a flirting voice.

When they were done eating, they end up in each other's arms again cuddling close. Finn is caressing her bubblegum hair, occasionally sniffing it. Lately he loves the scent of her hair, makes him feel so happy and satisfied.

"You love my hair too much, maybe next time you will love it more than the owner of it." She said.

He gave a light chuckle, "It is amaze me that your hair is so smooth and so smelly"

"Smelly?"

"I don't know the other term for it."

"You silly boy." She laughed, and he blushed.

Changing the topic, he said "You had any plans for today?"

She thought for a second, "Hmmm... yeah, probably making the new suit. And more princess duties I think."

"That's sucks"

"It's Fine," but her voice told otherwise. "Besides at night I gotta spend time with you right?"

"Something tells me that you don't like boring stuff anymore" he emphasized the word boring, she knew what he was talking about: her Princess duties.

She held his hand, "That's the part that will never be remove Finn, the Candy Kingdom is my 'Eternal Empire' I can't turn back on it, at least not yet. This is true, but since she began dating with Finn it threw her immortal rule of course. Only him that managed to that, her last lover, Mr. Creampuff failed to change her goal.

"Okay, at least I'm going to be with you all the time. Count on it." He said squeezing her hand and nuzzling his head to hers.

"Thanks" they shared a deep kiss for a moment before then breaking off. "Let's go Finn, we have work to do"

"Right." He stood up and led her to the bathroom.

Minutes later they were in the lab, wearing their usual clothes. Finn is usually sitting at lab bench and Bonnibel is typing away at the computer. The holographic image of the new suit Mk IX "Hot Rod" is being configured. The husk of the suit is in the far corner of the lab, and it was now taking shape.

"So you just finished the last suit and now your working on the other one?" Finn asked pointing at the new suit Mk VIII "Shoko". The new green colored suit stands ready for action at any moment.

"This is at an essence Finn, my arsenal should be like a Swiss knife, must be multipurpose."

"So what are planning this time?"

"I was thinking making an absorbent suit, design to contain and absorb elemental powers."

"You mean like taking someone's powers?"

"More or less" she shrugged.

"You said it can contain powers right? How?"

This time she looked at him "the Arc Reactor of this suit is powered by specialized crystal known as the 'Elixir'. This crystal is like a sponge, it absorbs power and element that come is contact with."

"How come it still powers the suit, if the power is being absorbed?"

"Beemo have come a solution to insulate the Elixir with highly conductive metal. There fore the weight of suit is a little more heavier than it should be. Also a bit heavily armoured."

"Weapons?"

"Just repulsor and two metals cable conductors, it is a extension of the 'elemental sponge'. Its power can be based on the energy it absorbs so it is anyone's guess how much power it carries."

Loss for words anymore on how marvellous Bonnibel's suit are, he just said "You make powerful suits, you also make deadly enemies." He said.

"It's alright; I can fend off all of them. Besides you were here with me so it is not a problem." She said before turning back on the computer.

Finn shook his head. This was not the answer he want to hear from her. When it comes to her safety, she should be careful and avoid it as much as possible. He wished to hear from her that she will stop making weapons that will bring her enemies. Instead she simply said "Bring it On" Bonnibel is a pacifist, she doesn't want war, chaos and death. And now she is inviting them to come in with outmost hospitality.

With that in mind, Finn approached her from behind and grabbed her shoulders, massaging it. "Peebles please, I don't want you to get hurt and especially be a bait for your enemies."

"Finn, the world is a cruel place I'm just protecting it."

"But drawing you enemies close is not they way of protecting it."

She raised an eyebrow "Oh? How would you suggest it?" when Finn didn't answer she continued. "See... you know what they say, keep you friends close, but keep your enemies closer".

He shook his head "I just don't want you throw the first punch, let alone conduct a war on your enemies like that. I thought you don't like it."

"I really didn't Finn. But what happen, Broccoli almost destroy the kingdom. Waging a war that cost lives, Finn I don't want that happen again." she remember Dr. Broccoli's invasion a month ago. She still has anxiety towards it.

The human just sighed; he knew he will not win again Bonnibel when it comes to arguing. He knew that her decision is the best they got. But it didn't stop him to try and find another way. Indeed it was the only way.

"Fine, but promise you will keep me closer than anything else." He said concerned.

She cupped his head with her both hands and smiled. "You're my world now Finn the Human, I won't let anything happen to you". She gave him the most loving smile that he ever saw in his life. He felt his problems just washed away.

He smiled and kissed the palm of her left hand. "I love you"

"I know..." she broke of and grabbed the tool box. "Now let's finished this thing so we can test it."

"Sure, let's go" he grabbed the goggles and hand over to her.

Finn carried the hard metal and the heavy equipment and places it besides her. Bonnibel is putting the bolts in place. She then proceeds to wield the metal pieces together. After a while, she broke the silence.

"So, did you name your suit?"

"Yeah, I decide to name it Hero, you know just like me." He said while flashing the muscles at her. She just smiled, amused at his not-so-extreme bravado.

"Yeah really sounds like you" she said.

"You know me, I always smug."

"Show off."

"Touché" he shrugged

She just shook her head and went on with her work. Finn smiled a little goofily. "Just for you, only you."

"Whatever, Finn the show off Human"

"Gee where's Beemo, I never seen that guy since we arrived yesterday."

"Probably at the tree house playing with Jake, like always."

"Beemo will always be Beemo."

"You can say that again." she said.

"Beemo will always be Beemo."

"Really Finn?" she raised a brow and looked at him with amusement.

"Yeah you said it."

She laughed, "You're really something you know."

"That's why you love me a lot."

"Gee what's gotten into you lately?" she asked, clearly Finn is in the happy mood today, and she is cherishing it as long as possible.

"I don't know, probably because you love me, that's why I'm happy. And I'm the luckiest guy in the world." He said. This time, he hit a nerve, making her blush and flattered.

"Thanks" she continued with her work with a smile on her face. Totally forgotten about the argument they had earlier.

No matter how much argument they came into. They always end up getting close together. She mentally praised Glob the so far they never had a serious fight with each other. She knew has to be careful, she knew that there are always obstacles in life. As long as she's with Finn she can face anything.

But for the best, she just hoped that the time when Finn IS the obstacle or the problem will never come. Ever.


"Show yourself buffoon! I knew you're here." The deep voice of the former king of the Fire Kingdom echoed the vast cave in front of him.

"You don't need to say such words here" the voice replied.

"Why did you free me?" Flame King asked.

"The very obvious reason your majesty. To reclaim what is yours..." this time figure stepped out of the shadows.

Flame King looked down at the figure; he was a bit smaller than him. The figure has a pair of arms and legs as his appendage so he could be taller. He wore a melodramatic expression on his face. Bruises on his face is still on the process of healing.

"What happened to you?" the Fire elemental wince in disgust.

"A long story... but the task at hand is now your free you can claim your throne back from your daughter."

"She's is powerful than me. I can't beat her head on that's why I abdicate my throne to her."

The figure produced something from his coat and handed it to Flame King. It is a circular device with two handles on both sides. The centrepiece of the circle is glowing shiny white; The fire elemental stare at it in shock and amusement.

"This is the Elixir; it can absorb powers of any beings carrying elemental powers. Use this on your daughter to make her elemental matrix vanish, leaving her weak and exposed and weak."

Flame King narrowed his eyes at the device, considering his options. He wanted the throne, but she can't hurt her own daughter. but he a part of him is telling that her daughter will fight him for the sake of the throne. He knew that there are no peaceful resolutions in Fire Kingdom. Everybody knows it, even him.

Leaving no more options, he said "Fine, but if I fail I will come for you!" he took the device and prepared to leave. But before he left the cave he turned and looked at the figure behind him.

"Who are you?" he asked

The figure bowed "Ricardio, Ricardio the Heart Guy."
