Chapter Thirteen:

Poor Finn was still recovering from his unexpected vampire smooch, as he crossed over from night into day, a puzzling look upon his face. He then remembered Ice King, Jake, Lady Rainicorn, LSP and Princess Bubblegum were on the other side. Suddenly the blood red colored kiss mark on his cheek matched his whole face. He was blushing.

"Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-HO! What went down with you and the Queen man?" Jake asked his voice coy, sly, and embarrassing.

"No-nothing," Finn stammered, "I just freed her is all."

"Oh my lumps it looks like she kissed you!" LSP exclaimed. She took out her phone to take a picture. "I need this as proof to Melissa you're not available," she explained.

Before Finn argued she took the picture. "Delete that!" Finn yelled.

"Psh no way, this is so going to be my background pic," LSP replied.

"My background pic on my computer is of Gunter and I playing poker," Ice King stated randomly.

"I'M STILL LOCKED UP!" Princess Bubblegum cried.

"Coming Princess!" Finn exclaimed. He climbed up on her cage, remembering to press the kiss mark against her cage to unlock it. For the love of stuff please let her not notice Marceline's kiss, Finn thought. He pressed his cheek against the cage. There was a small –click! – sound, and the door opened, revealing a frustrated Princess Bubblegum. Why shouldn't she be frustrated? She was taken by a stranger and thrown into a cage!

"Finn!" she exclaimed, hugging the hero tightly. "I'm so glad you rescued me."

"Uh huh no problem Princess," Finn mumbled, blushing even redder to the fact she hugged him. First a kiss from Marceline and now an embrace from Princess Bubblegum? All in the same day? 'What the lumps?' as LSP would say.

"Bubblegum!" Lady Rainicorn exclaimed, flying up to the two, and hugging the princess. "I'm glad you're safe."

"Ah yes, I'm glad to see you're safe as well Lady," Bubblegum replied curtly. "Now we can all go home and forget this dreadful day, Finn would you please- HOLY CRUMPETS!"

Finn shifted awkwardly. She noticed.

"Who kissed you?" Bubblegum asked. "I mean, not that I care, I'm simply wondering… because… uh… the shade of lipstick is cute."

"Thanks pinky, it's blood red," Marceline called from across the grass.

Sheesh she has great hearing, Finn thought. "She needed to kiss me, cause… uh… I needed something of Marceline's to open the cage," he stammered nervously. "It's not because I like her, I mean, wait, I DO like her, but I like you too, not that I never liked you, I've always liked you, I like you both, ugh…"

Jake shook his head, seeing his bro stammer and stutter like an inexperienced twelve year old. Oh wait, he is an inexperienced twelve year old. "What my brother is trying to say," Jake cut in, interrupting Finn's hopelessly confusing train of thought, "Is that it's more fun to say salt n' peppa than simply salt and pepper."

(A/N LOL!)

Finn shot Jake a confused look. That was NOT what he was trying to say. However the human realized Jake was simply helping him from his embarrassing babble, and Finn nodded, agreeing. "Totally what I was referring too."

"Hey weenies, I found the flight to the fifth and final level. Let's get a move on!" Marceline called across the field. "Let's hurry up and pound this Magic Man!"

"Right!" Finn agreed encouragingly. He leaped on Jake's back, while Princess Bubblegum stepped upon Lady Rainicorn's, and they flew over to the night side of the grass, Marceline leading the way to the fifth level. "Do you think Magic Man is in the fifth level?" Finn asked the vampire.

She shrugged. "We'll find out. Magic Man is tricky, we don't know what to expect."

"Magic Man? He did this? He captured me?" Princess Bubblegum asked in disbelief. "We were lab partners together in my community science class!"

"Speaking of science, can I have some of your hair Princess? I'm starved," Jake said.

"What does that have to do with science?" Lady Rainicorn asked confusingly.

"Absolutely nothing!" Jake exclaimed.

"Sure you can Jake, how about you Lumpy Space Princess?" Bubblegum asked.

There was no answer.

"Lumpy Space Princess?" Princess Bubblegum asked again.

"LSP?" Finn called. He turned around. "LSP is gone!" he exclaimed.

"Ice King! That dirty poop must've kidnapped her and ran off!" Jake cried.

Marceline rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, like no one saw that coming."

"We need to go after her! Who knows what Ice King will try to do to her!" Princess Bubblegum exclaimed.

"Actually, I'm willing to bet five bucks that he'll take her back to his Ice Kingdom, put her in his cage, and talk her into becoming his bride," Jake said. "We can afford to wait until after the final trial."

"Maybe even get a bite to eat," Finn added.

"I know this great Kung Pow Chicken restaurant," Lady Rainicorn suggested.

Princess Bubblegum sighed. "Alright, if you think that's best."

"LSP can take care of herself," Finn said, trying to make the princess feel better. "Plus, if it was you he captured, I wouldn't rest until I saved you. It's part of my code of honor."

Marceline started laughing. "My code of honor!" she mocked. "You're such a softy."

Finn simply smiled, seeing past Marceline's insult. "The softest."

Author's Note:

I don't see Princess Bubblegum as the jealous type. Not of Finn and Marceline anyway. She might be incredulous to the couple, but I'll remind you Finn is still only a young boy. If any romance or such sprouted between him and Marceline, he'd have to be much older. Please review, and thank you for reading!
