Disclaimer: I don't own Adventure Time
Hola guys! Just as I promised, only a day late. Hoping you guys weren't to agitated waiting. Oh and I have some awesome advice! If any of you watch Inuyasha, then you'll know who it is. Do as Infinity is like one of the best Japanese bands ever! I recommend them to anyone and everyone who will listen! Sorry for spam. I just really love their songs: Fukai Mori and Shinjistu no Uta meaning Deep Forest and Song of Truth respectively.
Anyway this is Chapter 3, sorry no Marceline or Bubblegum in this one. They are mentioned though.
Finn walked into the dorm house, to see Matt sitting on the couch watching T.V. "Hey. I was able to make it back early." He said tiredly.
"Must be nice, being able to go to bed before midnight." Finn replied
Matt laughed "Hahaha, not really because I'm a bit of an insomniac. And I'm so used to going to bed after midnight, that I just can't fall asleep, yet, I'm so tired."
Finn took a seat by Matt on the couch. After about a minute he realized he was more exhausted than he thought he was. "What you watchin?" Finn yawned.
"Umm. Dunno really. I just turned it on and found this. I didn't really want to look for the remote, so I left it on this channel." Matt yawned back.
"So you wouldn't mind if I popped in one of the games I got today, then?" Finn said.
Matt replied "As long as you don't mind that I play with you." Finn shook his head "Nope. Don't mind at all"
"Alright then. What did you want to play?" Finn smirked "... Tekken then, maybe GTA."
"O ho ho, so freshmen's gots some gall huh? Well sir, let's make this a bit more interesting,, shall we?" Matt replied misheviously
Finn smirked but asked knowingly "How interesting?"
Matt chuckled "Well the loser of most of the three separate fights in Tekken has to buy the winner, whatever choice of lunch they want. The one with the least amount of money and less expensive car in GTA has to cook dinner… for the whole team."
Finn thought about it and said "You drive a hard bargain but I'll take it." He stretched out his hand and Matt shook it. "We have a deal then."
They started playing Tekken. Finn chose Law while Matt chose Lee. They fought and fought until Finn won the first round. Finn started rubbing it in Matt's face but Matt warned him that they still had two more fights to go. They continued, Finn chose Law again and Matt chose King I. Finn came out victorious again. They played the last fight. Finn still remained with Law while Matt chose Jack. This time Matt won. Because Finn won the majority of the fights, he won the Tekken part of the bet. "How did you do that?" Matt asked amazed at his skill. "You can never go wrong with that Law." Matt nodded. "Now onto GTA." They played Grand Theft Auto a long while, not really paying attention to the time. Numerous amount of times, one had stolen a car from the other, driving off into the sunset with the first owner of car's girl in the passenger's seat. They laughed and steamed on/off, enjoying each other's company a lot, forming a bond between each other. For the GTA portion of the deal, Matt was victorius, though it was very close. Matt rubbed it in Finn's face. "Haha. You see I told you it wasn't over. Now you gotta cook dinner for the whole team."
"Yeah well, you gotta buy me lunch and I know the perfect place! Tres expensive" Matt laughed "That doesn't sound good." He paused to think. "What time is it?" Matt asked as he looked to the kitchen which had a microwave that had record of the time. It blared a green 3:17 AM. "Ahh man. I should get to bed . Luckily I don't have early shift tomorrow." He clicked off the game and started putting things away. Finn helped. When everything was put away and they were standing around in the dark, they made their way towards their dorm rooms. As Matt walked towards his, Finn noticed that it was directly beside his own. "Hey Matt, we're like neighbors." Finn said as he pointed to the two doors.
Matt smiled "So we are. Nice." Finn nodded and yawned "Well it was nice video gaming with you, man. We should do it again."
"Yeah man, for sure." Matt replied
"Hey, what does the team like to eat anyway?" Finn asked remembering he was making dinner the next day.
Matt answered "They like anything. I mean we're football players, so we can eat pretty much anything. Just no sardines or anchovies. Nobody eats those… Speaking of the team, did you decide on joining or not?"
Finn quickly replied "Oh yeah. Yeah I decided I was gonna join the team." Matt high-fived him "Great, that means we can become even better friends, you know?" Finn nodded "Yeah. Well I'll see you tomorrow." They both ventured in their respective rooms and closed the door. Finn collapsed on his bed, not even bothering to change his clothes, and feel asleep.

Finn awoke at 10:00 AM. He quickly got showered, dressed and went looking for Jake. He was excited to tell him what he had done in the last 12-20 hours. He found Jake in his room strumming a guitar. "What up, bro?" Jake asked, his eyes closed. "How did you know it was me?" Finn said surprised.
"After I woke up from my hangover yesterday evening, someone told me you were looking for me. I was sure you found me in my room yesterday, knew I'd be out for pretty much all day and decided to come back tomorrow, today." Jake explained
Finn replied " Good call 'cause that's exactly what I did."
Jake opened his eyes and whispered "I know everything."
"Oooookaaayyy? Anyway I wanted to tell you what happened to me yesterday…"
Jake set down the guitar and fully faced Finn "Spill…"
Finn began "Okay, well yesterday, before I came to check on you, Brad tried to play a prank on me."
Jake shook his head "I know what that's like. Luckily I proved too cool to be pranked on. He even asked me to be on the team but Lady likes me the way I am, a strong musician so I declined."
"That's exactly what happened to me!" Finn replied amazed
"Well what did you say?" Jake asked his curiosity aroused.
Finn said "Well, I told HIM I would think about it. But then I met up with Marceline and Bubblegum, hung out with them for a while and they told me I should do it. Matt too. So I decided to accept."
"Well good for you, Finn… But what are you waiting for? Go tell them!" Jake hollered, pushing Finn to the door. "I want you to come with me."
"Alright, let's go." Jake groaned. The two brothers left their dorm and made their way to the fitness center. It was huge! Then again, it was most likely because of the number of sports that it supported. There was swimming, boxing, baseball, basketball, football, tennis, softball, hockey, ice skating and curling. A directory stood in the center of the first floor. The football headquarters were in the right wing of the building in 1596. Finn and Jake strolled to that very room and were amazed at its enormity. A very large man approached the two brothers and barked "What is your business here?"
"Hello sir, I was asked by a fellow team member to join the team and I came here to accept it." Finn replied respectively
The man turned around and surveyed the room "Alright who told the freshmeat he could be admitted on the team?"
Brad spoke up "I told him, Coach. He's got the stature, the brains and he's got spunk. Just what we need in the new linebacker."
Coach thought about it for a while as he massaged his chin. He turned back to Finn and looked him over "Stand straight!" he howled as he circled Finn. "Hmmm… you're right Brad he does look like he could be right for the new linebacker. We'll try him out to see… And what are you doing here?" He turned toward Jake now, who cowered at his enormous voice. "I'm just here for moral support, sir. I don't want to be on the team ."
"Oh… and why is that?" Coach a vile type of curiosity forming inside as he bent over marginally to stare Jake in the eyes.
"Well, with all do respect, sir, my girlfriend doesn't go for these type of activities. She didn't stop me from doing so, but because I would rather her happy than slightly upset, I declined the opportunity." Jake responded, slightly scared. "I see." The coach responded casually
The coach stood erect and circled again to Finn "What is your relation to this man?"
"He's my brother, sir." Finn replied. "Yet, you want to join the team, while he does not?"
Finn sighed "Well, sir, I do not have a girlfriend. And both my friends who are girls, that live on campus told me I should join, so here I am."
Coach chuckled and turned to the rest of the team "Let this be a lesson to you, gents, keep women as friends, never as a partner." The rest of the team laughed and resumed what they were previously doing. The coach turned back to a slightly angry Finn and a horrified Jake. "It was just a joke. Trust me, I have my own battle axe at home and though she can be a handful, I still love that woman as much as I did when I first laid my eyes on her…." The Coach said warmly. "Alright, sonny, so you want to join the football team huh? Well you'll have to prove to me your worthy of my training. Let's go to the field." Finn and Jake then followed the coach outside to the rich football field of green grass. But before Finn could take in the marvelous view, the coach screamed "DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY!" Finn quickly fell to the floor and did 50 push-ups in 5 minutes. The coach then said for Finn to run around the perimeter of the field for 10 times which he could done within 20 minutes. The coach had Finn kick the ball as far as he could. Most of the footballs landed over the pitchfork. They went through the rest of all of the football drills that the coach could think of and Finn passed each with ease. After all had been finished, Coach had Finn take a shower and meet him in his office.
"I haven't seen such potential since Brad first got here. You are truly remarkable. It would be an honor to have you join the team." Coach said gratifyingly
"Thanks, Coach" Finn replied
Coach continued "We'll start you off as linebacker, just to see how much you like it and if you do we'll move you up. If anything, you could be back-up quarterback by the end of this semester."
Finn smiled "Ha, then I can replace Brad and he'll never be able to try something like that with Bonnie or Marceline ever again." "Alright, Coach."
"You did well. Now get out of here, go have some fun. You shouldn't be cooped up in here, on your first week of being on campus. I'll have Brad bring you in on Tuesday." Coach smiled. Finn nodded and walked out of the office. Jake, who was patiently sitting outside, greeted him "Hey, so how did it go?"
"I'm in. But Coach says he's going to let me enjoy my first week here and have Brad come get me on Tuesday instead." Finn replied.
Jake said "Wow, that sounds pretty cool. He's nicer than he looks."
"Yeah. He is." Finn said as they walked away.

"Well, how bad was he?" Brad asked Coach as the two sat on in his office.
Coach replied "Actually he shows as much potential as you did when you first came to this University."
Brad nodded "Okay so you guys have the quarterback, for when I leave here for the big leagues now, so why do I still have to be here?"
"Because we need someone to train the boy, and I don't have the stamina, I once had before to teach him." Coach said.
Brad sighed "So this brat gonna be following me around everywhere? I don't need that. I got a reputation to uphold, you know.
Coach gritted through his teeth "No. I would actually prefer that he didn't after the stunt you pulled with those swim team girls last year."
"Whatever, what do you want me to do then?" Brad sucked his teeth and flicked his hand.
"I want you to train him during practice. No more than that." Coach replied sternly.
Brad nonchalantly said as he walked to the door "Fine by me. Long as I don't have to lug him around, where important people can see me."
"Heed my words, Brad." Coach responded warningly.
Brad waved his hand lazily "Yeah, yeah, yeah." He walked away leaving the Coach shaking his head.
