Chapter Three:
Our two adventurers made their way through the dark and windy brick path that matched the one on the map left by Magic Man. It was a dark night, and the only thing that gave Finn and Jake the light to see was the silvery luminous glow of the full moon, and the eerie neon green glow emitting from the map Finn was holding. This was a new feeling for the two, for they weren't familiar with where they were headed to, and they didn't know what to expect. This wasn't like saving Princess Bubblegum from the Ice King, because the two had done that before and knew what to expect.
That was the peculiar thing about magic; no one knew what to expect. Finn and Jake didn't know what to expect. But Finn knew one thing, and that was that he had to save his friend Marceline. And Jake knew one thing, and that was that the jelly donut he was eating was really delicious. "Mhm this jelly donut is really delicious," Jake said, as he finished off his pastry. "How come you didn't order anything?"
"Because I can't eat when I'm anxious man," Finn answered. "Anxiety throws my digestive system out of whack."
"You know what we should do? Think of a strategy," Jake suggested.
"I'm listening."
"Okay, so when we come face to face with Magic Man, I'll distract him with my awesome magic trick and you grab Marceline."
Finn raised a brow. "You'll distract Magic Man with a magic trick? Dude, doesn't he know all of the magic tricks out there?"
"Well jeez Finn, I don't want to be the one to grab Marceline! She still gives me the creeps." Jake put a paw on his nose and scratched while thinking of another plan. "Alright, I've got another plan. While you grab Marceline, I'll distract Magic Man and challenge him to a break dance fight."
"Do you know how to break dance?" Finn asked.
"Dude, I invented break dancing," Jake answered, sounding completely serious. "Magic Man won't stand a chance against my break, pops, and locks."
Finn laughed. "Dude I have no idea what that means."
"It means I'm awesome," Jake grinned. "With a belly full of jelly- DONUTS."
"How close are we until our destination Finn?"
"Uh… according to this map about five miles."
"Rah that's five miles too many."
"See what jelly donuts do man? They make you sluggish. You should've had celery sticks from my backpack when I offered them to you."
"Vegetables are lame."
"You were cradling a baby turnip in your arms before we left the tree house!"
"How much closer now Finn?"
"One mile."
"I don't think I can make it."
"Dude, be strong, we can make it."
"No dude! I really don't think I can make it! I think I need to sit down a minute or twenty."
"Fine, one minute and then we have to continue." The two adventurers stopped walking through the high green field grass, and Jake plopped down on his stomach. A minute passed and Finn said, "Okay dude, time to get a move on."
"Nineteen more minutes," Jake mumbled. Finn took his foot and playfully kicked the dog in the butt. "Alright fine," Jake grumbled, getting back up. "But you owe me big time."
"No, actually we're even, because you owed me from that dolphin that kept stalking you," Finn pointed out.
"Oh yeah, that was one whacko dolphin." The two resumed walking, and before long they came up on a dark blue mushroom shaped house.
"This is it," Finn confirmed. "This is the house on the map. Should I knock on it, or do you want to do it?"
"We'll do it together… as brothers."
"Ya… okay Jake." The two stepped up on the wooden front porch and knocked on the slimy front door. They both wondered why the front door was slimy, but where in too much anticipation to ask each other. The front door opened, just ever so slightly, and Finn could feel his heart pound higher and louder. After another agonizing minute, the door creaked open slowly, and Finn's heartbeat got louder and louder. "M-Marceline?"
In the darkness of the house there was suddenly a pearly white grin, attached to a face that was too dark to be seen. "Guess agaaaaaiiiiinnnnn."
"Magic Man!" Finn and Jake exclaimed at the same time. "AH!" The floor beneath the two broke, and they fell down and disappeared into the darkness of the unknown! Quick whips of the wind met their faces, as they slid down a slide, though the two weren't sure if it was a slide, because it was so dark they couldn't see anything!
Finally the sliding and the falling stopped, and Finn and Jake fell down on something cold and hard. Slowly Jake opened his eyes, and he saw a flickering light, an orange flame. He didn't know where he was, but he had to get him and Finn to that light. "Come on Finn," Jake gestured, grabbing Finn's arm and dragging him towards the flickering candle.
"Ah Jake… I landed on my butt," Finn moaned. "That hurt."
"I landed on my romp as well," Jake replied, "Except I have cheeks of steal."
"That's just gross," said a new voice.
Jake looked up and saw a face that was visible by the candle, and he screamed out of pure terror! Finn on the other hand, squealed, out of pure delight. They both screamed and squealed the same thing though, "MARCELINE!"
