An: Back again, i am.
My dear sweet octopus lord, is this story more complicated in the last. I ended up changing a slight thing in the last chapter, what the gift Nikolai got was because the idea was more bonkers then a clown with a chainsaw. I just wanted to be able to saw Nikolai did something besides smash it into a fine mist. Not the way to do it, however. Luckily, Nikolai's part to play is over. I can focus on the other bits, now.
On to another point, can't wait for the reveal of Marceline and simon's past, is gonna be loretastic.
Since i can't actually think of anything to say, lets start.
Chapter 7: Blushing Hero
The Enchanter (or Smithy as everyone had become annoyingly fond of calling him) watched the small group bicker, and found himself wishing to toss them into one of the increasingly hotter then the last springs, hoping it might shut them up for a quarter of a second.
"I...i just don't get it Finn, how could Jake and Rainicorn have children...they aren't even the same species! How would they even-wait, how do you make children again?" The Ice King asked, stroking his massive beard.
"The stork brings them, man. Everyone knows that." Finn replied, having asked the same thing only a few months ago, getting the reply from Jake, who had then fled the house, saying something about Rainicorn and stretching out a window.
"Oh yeah! I remember now...I was brought by stork, i think. I recall freezing a bird that had me in a large blanket, and both of us crashing into the ground, then i made a snow man and rode him home! Or was that a dream...the sun was purple..."
Marceline stood silent, deciding not to reveal anything to the two morons, deciding that she might 'lose' a magazine or two at Finn's house.
"Man, you have messed up dreams."
"The dreams aren't so bad, it's when I'm awake that's terrible."
"Hey, Finn, it occurs, but shouldn't we pick up your little girlfriend? She could help us get around, and you would have an excuse to make kissy faces with her." Marceline said, watching the blushing boy with great amusement.
"..Not a bad idea, i suppose. She lives right down the Steam river, so I'll go get her." he said, rushing down the hissing waterside, trying not to reveal his blush anymore then he had.
Frowning, Smithy(don't call me that, narrator.) looked towards them both, Ice King attempting to make a chair out of ice that melted immediately, causing him to growl like a angry cat and keep attempting, and Marceline who simply drifted about, strumming her axe. "The boy has a girlfriend?"
"Yeah, she's quite the hottie. Literally. She is a flame elemental, so them touching usually leaves him crispy for a bit. Of course, he doesn't even seem to care, much. Of course, if they smooch, she goes boom!" she cried, giggling lightly.
"Boom?" he asked, somewhat afraid of the answer.
"Yeah, bonni filled me in. She has a messed up matrix or something. If something too naughty happens, she'll burn up and burn straight into the earths core and destroy everything...or something like that. Just imagine what would happen if he coped a feel, eh?" she giggled, watching the glare from Smithy disappear, his orange eyes seeing straight through her.
"Hm...Perhaps i can assist, then." he said simply, and fumbled around in his pockets. After a moment, he pulled a bracelet from his pocket, made of shining silver, and grabbed his stick from the other pocket, and began to carve something into it. Marceline watched from over his shoulder, as he placed a rune on each link, each one glowing blue. After a few minutes of this, he smiled and placed it next to him, fumbling about for the next piece, a small golden ring. He began carving three symbols into it, a circle with a small fire inside it, a square with a circle then a triangle in it, and then one that looked like a compass of some sorts. Each rune glowed, and he grinned after a moment. "Perfect."
Grabbing the bracelet, she slipped it on curiously. "Whaz this do, Smi-" she suddenly found her rear on the ground, and felt oddly weak. He slipped it off, growling at the vampire. "If you weren't as bright as a plant, you would have asked first. This is what i call a bracket of dampening. It should absorb any power that the girl will give off. Of course, one can only hold so much, that's why i used all the links. After a while the bracelet lets off small amounts of the power inside, allowing it to not overcharge." he told, watching the girl grin sheepishly as she floated back into the air.
Looking over, he saw the Ice King had given up on making a chair out of ice, and had begun building one out of sand instead, but it seemed to be turning into a sand castle, being that he had carved a small arch and windows into the sand. After a while, he seemed to give up on it, and began making a small penguin out of the sand.
Looking down the sandy beach, he saw the boy returning with the girl, small streams of smoke coming from the boys hand, gripping hers as they ran down the beach. She seemed to realize what was happening, the worried look on her face saying it all, but either the boy didn't feel it or didn't care, smiling like he just won the lottery. Soon they reached them, getting a greeting out of Marceline and grunt from the ice king, who was still working on his sand Gunter.
Silently looking at the girl, who squirmed under his gaze, he gripped her arm gently and slipped the bracelet on (Marceline noted that one of the runes on his left arm glowed blue when he touched her) and slipped the ring onto the boys hand. Grinning slightly, he pushed them into each other, lips pressing as they fell.
As Finn landed on the ground, feeling the princess above him, he blushed slightly, wondering why he wasn't being burned alive.
As for Flame princess, she would have turned red and her fire would have grown to smote the surrounding area, but found her body barely at her usual temperature. When she realized that she was kissing the boy, and realized that she was laying on top of the boy, she became a little dizzy. When she felt something pressing into her, she had a brief realization of what that thing was, and everything went black.
After a unknown amount of time, she found herself awake, sitting on Finn's lap, his hands wrapped around her stomach protectively. She kept her eyes closed, pretending she was asleep, mostly to enjoy the feeling. "So as long as we wear these things, we can't hurt each other, smithy?"
"Aye, but i would ask you not to go too crazy, boy. I don't know what you two will end up doing, and how much power she will give off, but i sincerely don't wish to have to make one of those once a week. When we aren't trying to save the sodding world, I'll make a better one. Oh, and the ring has a few more benefits. If she decides to allow it, you can read her mind from a small distance, and if she is in trouble, the ring will point you towards her."
'He can read my mind? Oh my glob, i hope he hasn't been reading it right now, i shouldn't have been thinking about how comfy his lap is, and how cute he looks like-oh god he can hear me, can't he?' she cried mentally, beginning to panic slightly.
Looking down slowly, he saw her squirm lightly, forgetting that she was pretending to be asleep, and he pressed his chin onto the top of her head, making her go "eep!"
The group laughed, excluding the Ice King, who was occupied with what he had dubbed "MegaGunter". "Girl, you do realize that your wiggling about on your boyfriends lap, yes?"
"Maybe she does, Smithy. She might be so happy she is giving him a lap dance!" she cried, holding her sides from the pain of the laughter.
She stopped, and felt herself wishing she could go hide in a hole somewhere. She felt less like this, however, when Finn gave out a guttural growl. "Don't be a butt, you guys. Your being very not math right now." He picked her up gently, and began carrying her towards the small bridge that connected the Ice kingdom and Fire kingdom.
All the while, Flame princess wanted to tell Finn to put her down, but only found herself aware of how close Finn's hand was to her rear. Shifting slightly to avoid anything that would make her pass out again, she cuddled into the boy, and looked up at him. "My hero." she said, pecking him on the cheek.
All the while, Ice King cried over the now destroyed MegaGunter, the tides having decided to taunt him. Sobbing, he realized that everyone was leaving without him, and broke into a sprint. "Wait up guys! Guys, wait up!"
As for Smithy and Marceline, they both mentally wondered how Jake was going to properly explain the 'birds and bees' to him, and both began to wonder what their children would look like, imagining a hyperactive flaming finn, causing shudders from both.
