Chapter Two:

Finn ran as fast as his twelve year old legs could carry him. He ran out of Marceline's cave, swam in the frigid waters the crossed over to the Ice Kingdom, dodged hostel lightning bolts from the Ice King, ran through a meadow, tripped over a daisy, cursed at the daisy, made the daisy cry, apologized to the daisy, and then finally made it to his tree house. After all this exercise Finn literally crashed through the front door with an exasperated, "JAKE!"

"Hey dude, how's it going?" Jake replied, not taking notice to Finn's current tired state. All his party guests went home after Gunter won the jackpot.

"Jake! Okay you're never going to believe the juice I'm about to spill to you!" Finn cried, "When I went to Marceline's house I found a- WHAT IS THAT?"

The magical shape shifting dog looked to what Finn pointed at, and it was a plump purplish-red vegetable cradled in his arms like a baby. "This is a turnip," Jake explained. "It's a vegetable."

"Why are you holding it like that?"

"Because it's a baby turnip, duh dude." Jake rocked the vegetable back and forth. "Now, what were you going to tell me?"

"Oh. Right. MARCELINE HAS BEEN CAPTURED!"

"Hmm that's nice."

"Nice? Nice? Dude! This isn't like when Hot Dog Princess or Slime Princess gets captured! This is some all new cheese! Marceline is a vampire and she's a queen. There's a huge diff man! And the news gets worse, she got captured by Magic Man." Finn hushed his voice when he uttered the name that turned him into a freak.

"Think Magic Man will make me look like a foot?" Jake mused.

"Dude! Not the issue here!"

"Alright brother, alright. How did you know Magic Man took Marceline? Are you sure it wasn't her nut job father, past victims, ex boyfriends?"

Finn gasped. "You think she has evil ex boyfriends?" He took a fist and pounded his head. "No! I don't care about if she did or not! Here Jake, Magic Man left this letter on top of Marceline's Axe Bass."

Jake took the note and read over it carefully. "Wow, Magic Man has some really nice hand writing."

"Jake!"

"I'm serious dude! Did you see how he dots his I's? It's a work of art." Finn gave the dog a quick look. "Right. Not the issue here. Well it looks like the first order in business is to find out where he captured her."

Finn nodded in agreement. "Right. Well I'm willing to bet that wherever it is it's dark, because of Marceline's illness to sunlight."

"I have nothing to bet dude I lost it all to Gunter," Jake sighed. "Well alright let me tuck this turnip in for bed and we'll start our search."

"Jake?"

"Finn?"

"You know what time it is?"

"Always do."

The two adventures lifted their arms in the air! "Adventure Time!"

Somewhere off in an undisclosed area of Ooo…

Click clack. Click clack. Click clack. This noise was continuous as the pale skinned beauty tapped her long fingernails against the window, as she looked out into the night. Her long raven black hair was tied back in a messy rocker pony tail, and she wore a black tank top, streaked blue jeans, and her black rocker boots. She was Marceline the Vampire Queen, and although she appeared to be seventeen, she has been around a long time, earning her the title of being a 'radical dame'. She turned her head and her hair fell back, revealing the two bite marks planted on the side of her neck. "Back already?" she asked nonchalantly at the presence at the door.

With a smile, the stranger flicked on the lights and he revealed to be Magic Man. No one knows what age he really is, due to his oddly green colored skin, but if the Vampire Queen had to make a guess she'd say he looked twenty. The strange magic doer smiled, and set the paper bags he was holding on a wooden dining table. He was dressed in an odd colored yellow outfit that was torn at the end, revealing a no longer pudgy, but slim stomach. He wore a pouch on his right leg, and differently colored boots, with a matching yellow hat on his head. While he was dressed colorful Marceline preferred to dress darkly, and she cringed at the sudden brightness when he walked through the door.

"Why hello Marceline," Magic Man greeted. "Have you been good while I've been gone?"

"Hardly," Marceline sneered. "I found your remote and ordered movies on demand, so you'll have to pay a pretty high price next time you get your cable bill."

Magic Man just laughed. "What if I knew you would find my remote, and already ordered the movies before you had a chance?"

"And how would you know?" the vampire challenged.

"Because I'm magic."

"Big whoop."

"It is a big whoop, especially to those I teach my magic lessons too." Marceline rummaged through his paper bag of groceries and found herself a plump strawberry, which she drank the color out of. "I also got some pomegranates," Magic Man said. "They were on sale."

"That's great," Marceline replied sarcastically, throwing down the now gray colored strawberry. "So, how's your little plan coming? Finn and Jake coming to rescue me?"

"In time they will," Magic Man laughed. "First they have to figure out where I captured you."

The Vampire Queen's eyes narrowed at that word. Captured. She was not a damsel in distress. She was the damsel who caused distress. That was something her and Magic Man had in common; they liked to play games, they liked to tease the weak. "Do you think they'll find me?" she asked.

"Hmm… maybe. Depends if our little hero Finn can figure out the clue I left him."

"What clue?"

"Oh you'll see. It was left on the letter, but could only be seen in the dark. I've spilled too much already. Now, would you like to play a game of Uno Cards?"

"You're magic, you'll end up cheating," Marceline snapped. She then laughed. "Then again, so will I." And she sat down at the table as he went to get the cards.

Back with our mathematical heroes…

"Jake, I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you helping me. I know you're afraid of Marceline in all, and that she scares you to death, but I'm glad you're with me. And you're not alone, because to be honest I'm kind of scared of Magic Man. But with the two of us, we'll get Marceline back and everything will be like butter on a biscuit," Finn smiled.

…

"Jake?"

…

"Jake? Jake!"

"Huh? What? What'd you say man?" Jake asked, opening his eyes and yawning. "Sorry bro, I was asleep."

"How can you sleep at a time like this?"

"Well I'm really comfortable," Jake grinned. He and Finn were on their way back to Marceline's cave to look for clues, and Jake had made himself small enough to sit on top of Finn's head.

"That's it, I'm revoking your awesome hat privileges," Finn grumbled, flicking Jake off his awesome hat.

"Whatever, you're lucky we've arrived," Jake replied. The two stepped inside Marceline's house. "Whoa dude, this is messed up."

"I know. But how can you see in here it's dark and the lights are killed."

"No dude, not that it's your butt! It's glowing bright green!"

"WHAT!"

"Yeah! Your butt is glowing!"

Finn turned around and saw it wasn't actually his butt glowing (thank gumdrops) but it was the letter from Magic Man in his back pocket. He took out the letter and opened it. "Whoa! Jake! Look, it's a map!" Finn exclaimed.

"A map to Marceline," Jake said in awe. "Think it's a trap? Magic Man is notorious for traps."

"It's all we've got. We've got to follow it."

"Fine. But can we drop by that donut shop on the way?"

"What donut shop?"

"The one on the map!"

"Oh. Yeah I guess."

"Full circle."
