In Wizard City in an undisclosed building a young Fire kingdom Mage obviously new to the city entered giving the proper greeting to a decrepid Wizard with no arms speaking in a hushed tone.. "I'm told you have information that might be of interest to our new "King"
"That I may..it involves Finn the Human..and the regrettable conclusion to their romance.. What If I told you it really wasn't his Fault..he was manipulated himself by one of Candy Kingdom's Princess Bubblegums fiendish ploys.."
"I would call you a liar and tell you good day.." the firemage said dubiously..
"Hear me out and let me guide you to the truth of my words friend."
perking his head debating.. before relenting.."then speak so I can discern them myself.."
"First think..I've met Finn the Human personally and owe him a great debt.. and he's one who can't stand to let an injustice stand no matter how small.. So why would he do such a deplorable thing?"
"To please the Gum Golem obviously it is well known how loyal he is to her.."
"ah..possibly those words do sound plausible at face value.. but also consider Who Was involved with the deplorable situation.. The fire princess as your king called herself at the time.. and The Ice king.. the Gum Golem's replacement for his affections..and the biggest and longest standing thorn in the side of her rule causing mischief and turmoil..and her former loyal adventurer now in the arms of another.. all three harmed in some way with no benefit for any.. and who was the only benefactor of each of these tragic events? When you take a deeper look it doesn't take a genious to see something is wrong with the picture at face value.."
"No it doesn't.. you've Given me much to think on..but How do I convince my King to your truth..she is unreasonable when HE is involved.."
"Don't worry I have a plan.."
soon as the firemage left ash smirked as he removed his disguise.. "one War..and one Very busy Chump coming up.." and from what he had heard the Fire "King" was the perfect kind of Chump for his plans.. naive and emotionally unstable.., the fact she was a known hot head made it even better with the right push she'd act before thinking and poor Finn would be stuck in the middle too busy to interfere with his plans to win back Marceline..
Meanwhile Marceline was trying to come to grips with her growing feelings for the young adventurer the best way she knew sitting on the little dock over the little stream strumming her Bass letting her emotions out..
"Just a silly Boy.. wrapped up in my Silly Ploy..used you like a favorite toy.. I'm no good for you.. Finny don't you see it's true?.. So why the hell do you stick to me like glue?.." hugging her knees she needed help someone to talk some sense into her before she did something she'd regret sooner than later.. walking into her home she picked up her phone and began dialing the one person she could think of who'd understand her plight..
"Marcy If this is one of your prank Calls I'm hanging up..I reinvented Caller ID..just so you know ahead of time."
"no..just need you to help me out with Something..I'm not sure but think i've fallen for someone my brain says no because of past experience..but my heart and lady parts seem to be tag teaming the crap out of it and it's going down for the count.."
on ther other end of the line Princess Bubblegums cheeks flushed brightly "Sounds intense..and you don't want to because you don't trust them?"
"No that's the thing, I do..actually more than most people it's nothing Finn's done..I mean They..," Sighing in annoyance at how quick the cat slipped out of the bag.. before trying to explain..
"it's just you know HE fucked me up mentally for decades..Hambo was just the last straw that finally got me pissed off enough to see what the hell was going on.. he was so sweet and charming long as I did whatever he asked.. but If I said no.. or did something he didn't like..he'd make me feel like the size of an ant.. So I just did what he asked to keep him as the Sweet guy who said he loved me when I felt unloveable.. I never wanna go there again Bonnie..What Finn and Jake saw that time was like the tip of the iceburg..I never even want Finn to know about some of the degrading things I've let that ass do in case he thought less of me.."
"I understand Marcy it is hard to trust after such bad experiences..but you know our Finn's not anything like that Jerkwad.."
"I know he's not.. He's like the exact opposite when I really think about it..Thanks Bonnibelle..it really helped.. Umm I'll tell you how it goes..Glob this is going to be awkward considering everything going on.."
"So What's going on exactly..?"
"yeah Fill you in later IF this works out if not..I'm really gonna need a place to hide and a shoulder to cry on..just Don't hate me too much if it doesn't..please.."
" I could never really hate you.. and I'm sure if Finn's involved it will turn out somehow..he does have a knack for that sort of thing..just let me know when everything's said and done..just don't get him in too much trouble in the mean time."
PB said to assure her friend still a bit taken aback herself about the whole situation.. Very curious..
"No promises PB but I'll do my best to keep him out of too much trouble.."
Sighing as she sat down on her bed she did feel a little better now that she had finally made a decision she just hoped Finn could understand what he was getting into if they became a real couple.. Hell even Bonnie thought she had too much baggage sometimes..Crap that reminded her she would have to help Finn pack! it had to look like He lived here too..She had forgot for a moment that was the whole excuse for the three days given.. she had gotten so distracted with the more fun part that it had slipped her mind..
"Well if I hurry..should be able to get there before the Sun rises.. I'm sure Finn wouldn't mind some company other than BMO and NEPTR..and I'm sure we can think of something to distract ourself till Dusk when I can help him haul some things.."
