Previously…

We learned a little more about the place that Finn and Fionna are in. We also learned what happened to Finn that morning. But, what new things are we going to learn about now…?

The next morning I wake up, entangled in a mess of Finn and Jake. I smile to myself, and gently peel Finn off of me. I wiggle out of his arms, and move swiftly out of the bed, replacing myself with Finn's pillow. Jake lifts his head and yawns at me. He blinks twice, then gets up and jumps off of the bed. He stands at the door and looks at me.

"You can wait. I gotta get dressed." I say to Jake. I peel off my ripped blue shirt, and pull off my dark blue shorts. I keep my bra on, and replace my underwear. I pull on some dark blue skinny jeans, and put on a white and blue polka-dot tank top. I walk over to my pillow, and lightly pull out my bunny hat that I hid in my pillow. I gather my hair into my hat, and pull out my bangs and flip them onto the right side of my face. Jake looks at me again, and back at the door.

"One second Jake!" I whisper to him. I turn to Finns bed, and straighten it up when all of a sudden,

"For Glob sakes women! Let me out! I HAVETA PEE!"

I spin around wide eyed, looking at the dog spinning around and around on the ground.

"LetmeoutletmeoutletmeoutletmeoutLET! ME! OUT!" I slowly walk to the door, and open it, letting Jake out of the room, so he can go do his business. I shut the door, and run across the room. Disregarding Finn's sleepiness, I jump on him.

"JAKE CAN TALK! DID YOU KNOW JAKE CAN TALK ?! WHEN WAS JAKE ABLE TO TALK! OH MY GLOB! FINN! JAKE….TALKS!" I scream, shaking Finn until he fully understands me. He attempting to pry my hands from around the collar of his shirt calmly says,

"Yes Fi, I know Jake can talk. I've been talking to him since yesterday. He first talked to me when my parents changed…

Yesterday, 8:22 a.m(Finn's POV)

"I climbed out of the rubble of my house, pushing pieces of wall, and ashes off of cellar door. I crawled out of the cellar, and I couldn't find Jake, or my parents.

"Mom!? Dad?! Jake!?" I called out into the eerie silence. I heard Jakes bark echo, and then I heard them. I heard my mom yell for me. I fallowed her voice, and I found her cradling my dad. He was wriggling in my mom arms, writhing in pain. It was the only time I've seen him cry. Then he got silent. His face froze, his mouth was wide open, like he was screaming so high pitched, that you couldn't hear it. His eyes rolled back into his head, and he flinched a couple times, like a puppy before it finally goes to sleep. Then his eyes snapped open. They were all black. His skin slowly began to turn white, like, a freaky white, and he started to gurgle. My mom bent down to him, to talk to him. She was crying so hard, she didn't notice when he started to move. It was like he was vibrating or something. And then he bit her. She let go of him, and fell backward. She started doing the same thing as my dad did. I backed away when I saw her stop moving. I stopped when I saw her stand up. I thought she was okay. But then she turned around. Her eyes were all black, and her face was melting off. I froze. She started walking towards me. I tried to force myself to run. To move, but my feet were stuck to the ground. She kept getting closer and closer. Then Jake jumped in front of me. He started growling and barking. He jumped up, and latched himself to my mom. She fell back, and when Jake came running back to me, my mom got up and ran away. Jake ran up to me, and told me we needed to run. Run away down town, and not look back. Needless to say, I flipped out, but I knew it was still Jake, and that he was still right, I needed to get out of there. When we got away from my parents, I had to sit down and think about things. My own mom tried to kill me, and then my dog started talking to me. I thought I was going crazy. But I knew I wasn't crazy. So I thought it was a dream. But it wasn't. Jake told me that I had passed out right before the explosion, and had left the door open. He had to pee, and so he went outside and did his business, but when he got back, the door had closed behind him, and he couldn't get back in. And with me being passed out, I couldn't open it for him. He dug a hole and hid under the concrete tube at the park down the street. Then the bomb went off. He came as fast as he could…

(Now, Fionna's POV)

"and then the rest you already know, Finn says, wiping off the tears that have made their way past the barrier Finn had put up years ago, "but what I don't get, is that when he talks his mouth doesn't move. I think it's more of a telepathic bond or something. Like, whatever caused the people to turn into zombies got to him. But, like, not as bad… If you get what I'm saying" Finn stops and looks at me. I just sit there with my mouth open, letting it all sink in.

'Dogs can't talk…. But then again, I didn't think zombies could ever be real until now…' I chew on my lip, and nod my head. It could be true…

"We should have Bubblegum take a look at Jake…" "Bubblegum?" "Oh, Bonnie, I'm gonna call her Bubblegum, because pretty much all she wears is pink, and her hair looks like bubblegum"

"Hmm… Sounds good. It does fit her…" Finn says, smiling. I feel amazing that I made him smile right after he cried. Me and Finn get up, and walk out of our room and into the main room. Bubblegum walks out of her hallway, in her open lab coat, and a salmon color shirt, that shows her shoulders but is still a t-shirt(I don't know the fashion term for that kind of shirt, so if you do feel free to tell me so I can edit it.) She has on a dark pink, silk skirt and pink flats on.

"Uhmm… Bubblegum?" I ask softly.

"What did you call me?" She asks surprised.

"Bubblegum… your hair reminds me of bubblegum… I-" "My mom called me Bubblegum…"

"So it's okay if I call you that?"

She takes a deep breath. "Yes, I guess that's okay…" she says with a sigh.

"Okay, well, I- We- have something we need to tell you." I say, elbowing Finn in the ribs.

"Uhmm… I thinkmydoggothitwithsomeradiationbutnotasbadasthez ombiepeopleandnowhecantalkbutnotphysicallybutmenta lly." Finn says, taking a deep breath. "Can you, can you look at him?"

"I can run some tests yes." Bubblegum says nodding her head. "Where is he?"

Finn calls for Jake, and the four of us walk down the hallway that Bubblegum always walks out of. There's a door with a frosted glass window that says 'LAB' in big, bold faced, black letters. Bubblegum opens the door and we walk in after her. Everything is white. The only black things are the burners. There are 3 counters, in the middle of the room, and sinks line the sides. There's one of those emergency showers, and eye wash stations, and cabinets full of beakers, and chemicals, and specimens preserved in jars. There's a microscope with a piece of zombie flesh in it, and there are Petri dishes full of skin samples in preserve. Bubblegum walks to the farthest table away from the door. I look at it carefully. There's a scale, and other instruments built into it. She has Jake jump onto the table, and he looks around, his chocolate eyes watery. Finn looks at him, his face twisted showing his inner turmoil. Bubblegum smiles at Jake and weighs him.

"55.4 pounds, a little heavy, but it's pretty much muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat." Bubblegum says giving Finn a reassuring smile. She took him father down the table and pulled down an X-ray machine. She snapped a few X-rays, and then pulled him into a small machine. "This is a C.T scanner. It's gonna take a picture of his insides in detail. I need to look at his brain. Okay Finn?"

Finn sighs, knowing it's what he's got to do. He nods, and Bubblegum turns on the machine. Within seconds, there are pictures on the side of the machine that look like they're moving. Bubblegum gasps, and prints off pictures.

"I've never seen anything like this. This is amazing! A scientific phenomena!"

"What? What's going on with my dog?" Finn says in tears. Bubblegum turns around and looks at Finn.

"Nothings wrong with him… Well, in my opinion. You see, the left frontal cortex has grown, and shows super high activity. It's shown in psychic humans. With him getting hit by the radiation, Jake's brain got hit, and molded into something amazing. He can't physically talk, or tell the future or things like that, but he can link with who he pleases."

'Didn't I see Finn talking to Jake earlier? That could have been it… This is weird, but it does make sense. I mean, if radiation can make babies be born with three extra toes, or an extra stub arm, why can't it make a dog talk?'

Hello. I know this chapter may seem kinda stupid, and or dumb, but it's important. Because… You'll see later. I know it's unrealistic for dogs to talk, but come on, it's gotta be somewhat more like the actual thing. I need someone to be the voice of reason. And we all know Marceline or Bubblegum wouldn't be it. And we can defiantly count Finn and Fionna out too. I kinda like this chapter. Tell me what you think?(:
