"…and then the dragon was all like 'ahhh! U killed me!' and Finn was all 'duh man I know I did it with my own sword!'" Jake said, telling stories to jacklene who listened with rapt attention. It was a cool autumn night, five months since lady Rainicorn's death. "And then what happened?" she cried

" then he died and the townspeople were safe once more, thanks to—" at this point Finn ran into the room and cried out, " thanks to Finn the human, the most dashing and bravest of all the adventurers in the land of Ooo!" he gave Jake a triumphant look as he flopped down on Jacklene's bed.

"Hey man, no flopping it's bedtime for young pups in this joint."

"Awwwww…" both Finn and Jacklene moaned. Jake kissed her forehead, and the two left the room closing the door behind them. "So Jake, are we goin to princess bubblegum's birthday ball tonight?" Jake sighed and looked back at his daughter's room. "I dunno man; I just put her to bed and besides, Pb's turning 21…" "So?" Finn asked.

"So what do people do when there 21 Finn?" the human boy stared at him.

"They drink!" he said.

"Oh. So what? Jacklene knows that alcohol is bad she'll stay away from the bar."

"I still don't want her near the stuff Finn." Finn groaned annoyed "why don't we get a baby-sitter?"

"Finn everyone in Ooo is goin to that party! What person would actually stay at our house all night with a little girl?"

"What about Beemo?"

"I dunno…"

"C'mon Jake, please? I really wanna go to that party and nothing will be the same without my bro by my side."

"The whole time? Even while you'll be trying to woo the princess?" he grinned.

"C'mon Jake get serious. Please? Can't we just leave her with BEEMO?"

"Fiiiiiiine….. But we can't be gone too long…"

"Yes!" Finn yelled then Jake shushed him. "Right, sorry." And they went to go get ready for the princesses birthday ball.

One hour later…

"You sure she'll be okay Finn?" Jake asked glancing back at their tree fort worriedly.

"Yeah homie, she'll be good." He said soothingly, placing an arm around Jake's shoulder. By the time they got to the candy kingdom the party was in full swing. Jake watched as his bro ran off looking for the princess. Jake sighed and went to take a walk through the castle garden. It reminded him of lady; they used to take walks through the garden all the time. Then he came to it; her grave. But that's not what surprised him. There was already a figure paying respects. She floated down, and saw Jake watching her.

Marceline blushed. "Hey Jake."

Meanwhile….

Hey princess!" Finn yelped running up to her, she'd managed to lose half the clothes she'd been wearing.

"Heeeey Finn, how's it goin cutie?" she giggled and winked at him in a Marceline-like manor.

"Good." He replied taking her in. dear, god she was drunker than a fish in a bowl of tequila.

"C'mon I wanna –hic- shows ya somethin' "and he followed her through the hazard marked doors of her science lab.

"What're we gonna do in here?" he asked looking around, nothing out of the ordinary. She cleared off the nearby table.

"Everything." She said in seductive voice

" oh my grod…"
