"Finn... C'mon... Say something buddy." A familiar yellow bulldog waved his arms in Finn's face and whined. The human boy didn't say anything and turned away towards the wall. Jake was beginning to get a bit irritated and decided to mess with him a bit. "Alright fine, I guess I'll just play by myself, oh Beemo!" He cooed. After a few seconds, a small plastic box with the additions of arms and legs pulled himself up the ladder into the brother's room. It waddled over to where a smirking Jake stood and smiled.
"Hello Finn and Jake. How can I help you?" It's voice not particularly robotic as it is inviting.
"Hey Beemo, show me what you got." Jake sat on the edge of the bed and glanced over at Finn who didn't move from his spot.
"Would you like to play, 'Hero's Quest'?" Beemo pulled a cartridge from a near bye shelf and handed it to Jake. "Just put it in my butt!" It said leaning slightly forward.
"Heh heh, okay Beemo." Jake chuckled inserting the game into Beemo. The screen came to life in a barrage of moving colors and catchy music. "Hey Finn, you wanna play?" Jake held out the controller hoping his adopted brother would snap out of his stupor and join him. Sadly however, it was in vain for he did nothing but sigh and covered his face, obviously in deep thought. "Hmph. I guess I'll be playing all by myself... Yep... Just me, myself, and I." Jake exclaimed loudly. He began to mash buttons, making as much noise as possible while adding an periodical "wooh" and "yeah."
Finn's head began to get a headache and sat up from his resting place.
"Alright bud-" Jake began to say before Finn stomped over to where Beemo sat, pulled out the cartridge and broke it over his knee, all in one quick motion. Jake shot up from where he sat and pointed at Finn while a confused Beemo wobbled around. "Dude! What the stuff is your problem?! You've been acting like this for almost two weeks! You haven't eaten, you haven't been on any adventures, you won't talk to me, all you've been doing is moping around here like a ghoul!" Jake ranted. Finn's face became red.
"You don't understand." He said with a deep sullen tone.
"Don't understand?! So FP said she hated you, big whoop! There are plenty of other girls that can take her place, suck it up!" Jake put his hands over his mouth, realizing he sounded just like dad. That broke it, Finn exploded after hearing that.
"Stuff it Jake, you wouldn't be saying that if you were in my place. So take your fat head out of other peoples business and leave me the fuck alone!" Finn screamed, shoving Jake to the ground. Jake was abhorred, this was the first time Finn used any of that type of language when talking to people. Before he could retort, Finn jumped out the window and headed for the forest, not even looking behind him.
Jake sat motionless then let out a huge breathe. It finally hit him, he really didn't understand what Finn was going through right now, he always had Lady. It goes much deeper than he first observed, much deeper than he'll ever understand. His face released the tension that had built up during their argument into one of sadness.
"Wow Beemo, I think Fi-"
"Finn the Human, I have come to defeat you and, uh, steal the princess for myself!" Ice King randomly burst through the newly roof. His magical powers flaring its magnificence across the entire house. "Prepare to di- Where is he?" Everything stopped abruptly. He looked to Jake, "am I early?"
"No you were fine, he ran out before your queue." Jake said regretting everything he said.
"Oh..." Ice King floated there, waiting for something to happen.
"You can go now." Jake said to him irritably.
"I was just wondering if we could hang out or somethi-" Ice King couldn't finish his sentence because an enlarged fist had pushed him out the same hole he arrived in. A couple minutes later a knock came to the door.
Jake stretched down to the entry hall/treasure room, "Ice King I swear to Glob." He swung open the door, only to be greeted by the air he breathes.
"Down here numskull." A New Jersey voice sounded from Jake's feet. Standing on the doormat was a flambit chewing on a piece of charcoal.
"Flambo!" Jake yelled in surprise before pulling him into the doorway.
"Eh, easy with them pinchas, I don't feels like gettin' extinguished jus' yet." Flambo dusted himself off, throwing ash on the floor in the process.
"Sorry man, Glob is it good to see you." Jake was babbling incoherently.
"Yeh, I know." He replied arrogantly.
"Where's Flame Princess? Have you seen her anywhere?" Jake asked.
"Actually, that's what I'm here for. See, hot head gots herself kidnapped by the big guy and he's arrangin' her marriage right at this moment." Flambo picked at his teeth.
"How long ago was this?!" Jake was freaking out.
"'Bout two weeks ago."
"What?" Why didn't you tell us earlier?!" Jake was literally pulling out his hair.
"Heh heh, long story really, let's just say that finding a specific place is harder without directions." Jake slapped his face in aggravation.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go rescue her!" Jake was running out the door until Flambo blocked his path.
"Woh guy, that place is locked up tighter than a sad ogre's heart, plus there's something else I gots to tells ya." Jake stood squirming, ready to be on his way. "I don't know what he meant by this, but his royal majesty said somethin' 'bout your boy bein' in danger and some sorts, he didn't say much." Jake gasped at this information.
"What a time for him to get lost! Sorry FP, I gotta grab my bro." Jake grabbed Flambo, Finn's backpack, and his sword and bolted towards the same direction as Finn hoping he wasn't too late.
