Adventure Time Complications

Author Note

Hello all! I don't really feel like writing. My internet connection is acting stupid and I don't really have anything else to do in my house that does not require said internet connection, so I've been basically doing nothing at all. And I was like, "Oh. I should write the next chapter of AT:C,"

I have been reading some more fanfictions, recently, and another great one that I read is called, "The Tragedy of Rosalina and Waluigi" by Topcard. It's probably my favorite fanfiction ever, if not, it's totally up there. It might seem a little weird at first (the RosalinaxWaluigi pairing) but it really grew on me, and I desperately wanted a happy ending. *Sigh*.

I've been playing some Mabinogi, the "Fantasy Life MMORPG" with my brother. Meh. It's a cool game, but it's not that great imo. I've also been playing Phantasy Star Online 2 with my brother, and it's pretty uch the same thing. It's cool, but not that fun. Aside from that, I've been playing a lot of N64 games and DS games. Sadly, there were none that I really desired to finish.

So yeah. My life has basically been a whole lot of nothing. I've got school coming up, and I can tell highschool is going to be a drag. I've got to read another book, and then write a report on it, and the first book I read. Then I have to write a report on a biography. Then I have to read two more books, because I'm going to be tested on them. Yaay. *Sigh*.

Also, I've noticed that I barely got any reviews on the last chapter. That kind of upset me, since I really worked hard on it. Granted, I understand that since this is an old story, not many people who wanted to read it back then will read it now, but... I dunno... if you read the story, could you please leave a review? It helps me know that you guys want more, and it helps me know what I should change. Tuesday through Thursday there were a total of 68 views on the story, and I only got about 5 reviews from 2 people. I really do appreciate every single review I get, but, I dunno, I would like a few more I guess. Again, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful or anything, so please don't take it that way.

And I have a question for you guys. Do you guys still want me to do a split timeline ending thing? Because, since I wrote this chapter, I really really really liked the Flame Princess / Finn couple, and I'm having trouble finding out a reason as to why he would continue to like Princess Bubblegum.

But, uh, I'm going to end this author's note here, because I really want to get into the story.

"I don't know, Finn..." the Flame Princess muttered, rubbing her arm with the palm of her right hand. "Are you sure I'm not stepping on any toes?"

"No way, FP! It's totes dope." I shrugged and smiled. "Who would be upset by us hanging out together?"

"Princess Bubblegum, maybe?" she murmured, before looking up at me quizzically.

"Nah, she'll be cool. Peebles has, uh, she's getting married." I answered looking away from her stare. "She's... too old for me, anyway," I muttered, to myself, under my breath.

"Well... if you say so," she said with a smile. I loved her smile. It was just the greatest thing to see her happy, especially when I was the cause of her smile. "What do you want to do?"

"Pranks, maybe?" I asked her, returning the smile.

She giggled. "What do you have in mind?" she asked, sitting down next to me. I could feel her warmth, and it felt so good I had to smile.

I took off my backpack and opened it before turning it over, dumping everything out. "Well, we can do prank calls, we can put stuff in people's foods, we can go around scaring people with these prank masks..." None of them seemed really interesting to me, as I've done them lots of times. "Oh! And water balloons pranks."

She stayed silent for a second, frowning as if she was in thought. It occurred to me that she was worried about what affect it might have on a fire elemental like herself.

"It won't hurt you," I said. I swallowed my gut and put my hand on hers. She didn't burn me. She was warm, but she didn't burn me. She looked up at me, into my eyes, and I stared into hers, and we stayed like that for a few seconds. And then I felt it. She was getting warmer, and warmer, and she leaned in closer to me. Her hand was getting beyong warm, now and it was burning me. But for some reason, I couldn't stay away. I found myself leaning in to her as well, closer, and closer, until our lips touched.

It was hot.

"Agh!" I howled in pain, now on my back. I felt like I had just touched a stove with my bare hands. It hurt. A lot.

"Finn!" she gasped and ran over to me, and kneeled at my side. "Are you okay?" I could hear the concern in her voice and see it in her eyes.

"Y-yeah... just... ugh..." I muttered, rubbing the palm of my hand on my forehead. "I'm fine..." I couldn't move, I just felt paralyzed.

"I'm so sorry, Finn..." she apologized, looking down at the ground."They all... they all told me that I was evil... that I was a monst-" her voice quavered, almost as if she was crying without tears.

"FP..." I cut her off. "You're not a monster... you're not evil..."

"How can I not be a monster when I just hurt you? Nobody can be with me! I hurt everyone and everything!"

"F...P..."

"I should have just listened to them, and stayed in the Fire Kingdom..."

I grabbed her and pulled her down to me so that we were face to face, and I pressed my lips to hers once again, while wrapping my arms around her. It hurt me, it hurt so much, but I held it in... I had to hold it in. Her body heat was at an all time high, and soon the feeling it gave me changed from pain to comfort, to happiness, as I broke the kiss to look into her eyes, my arms still wrapped around her. "You're not evil. You're passionate."

She blushed and smiled, and I smiled back.

Once I let her go and we were both back up, she smiled and said, "So, let's get to pranking."

"Sweet. Okay, this here's a water balloon. You need to be careful with it, because if you drop it or anything-" I dropped it as a demonstration. "It all splashes right on you. You just need to be a little bit careful!" I told her, before the water surged and touched my legs, making me gasp and jump, before soaking into the forest floor.

She giggled a little bit at the sight before saying, "Okay... so can I try to throw one?"

I kneeled down and picked up another one. "Here," I gave her the water balloon. "See if you can hit me!" I dared her before turning around and running a few feet away from her. "Okay, now, it's not the easiest thing to do at first, but-"

SPLASH!

I spat some water out of my mouth. "You're a natural!" I laughed with a smile, and she began to giggle as well. "Let's see if you can hit me while I'm in motion. Get a balloon from my bag!" I told her, and she did as I said. "Alright," I smiled and began running around randomly without any sense of direction. What would you know, she hit me right in my face, knocking me over.

She ran over to me and kneeled down next to me again and asked, "Are you okay?" I looked up at her face, and I could see that she had a smile on and was shaking, as if she was trying to hold back a laugh.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling and laughing and she joined in after. "So you got the hang of it, huh?"

"Well, Finn..." she began, "what if someone gets hurt? I mean, I just knocked you over onto grass... what would happen if I knocked someone else over on... like concrete, or something?"

"That won't happen," I assured her. She didn't look convinced so I quickly tried to move on from the subject. "Comeon, let's go to the Candy Kingdom and wet some fools!" I said, enthusiastically, and she couldn't help but smile and say, "Haha, yeah,"

As we walked, we just chatted about all sorts of random things. Old friends, parents, crushes- she was a bit uneasy to hear that I used to have a crush on Princess Bubblegum - and pretty much anything else any of us thought about. It was fun.

Conversations with Princess Bubblegum were mostly me trying to talk to her, and her dismissing me as a child, or ignoring me, or I guess not caring enough to help me. But whenever she needed me, I was always there. But, I guess, she didn't need me anymore. Harsh reality.

I'm really beginning to wonder why Bubblegum was still on my mind. I was with the Flame Princess, happy and with a relationship that was going somewhere, yet I couldn't stop thinking of her. It was sick. And I sincerely hoped that the Flame Princess didn't see the looks on my face whenever Bubblegum was brung up.

Soon we arrived at the Candy Kingdom. We tried to find a nice, high vantage point to look down from, and we decided that a roof was as good as it would get.

"Alright, FP, let's get pranky!" I said with a smile, getting her to giggle. "Skadoosh-" I began picking up a water balloon before I heard, "Finn! What are you doing?" Princess Bubblegum shrieked, coming up a ladder behind us.

"Gah-" I exclaimed dropping the balloon on my leg and soaking my pants. "Why would you just surprise me like that!?"

"What were you doing!?"

"W-we..." I started but I couldn't speak correctly, and I instinctively pulled my hood down over my head.

"We were having fun!" the Flame Princess piped up now, standing up for me. I looked over at her and she smiled reassuringly at me, before turning back to Bubblegum and frowning.

"I'm talking with Finn, not you; stay out of our business." Princess Bubblegum demanded.

"Well I was hanging out with her before you barged in and interrupeted us,"

"Finn, I need to talk to you in private."

"If you have something to say, you can just say it in front of me!" the Flame Princess challenged.

Princess Bubblegum sighed and put her hand on her forehead, as if she was under stress. "Okay. Finn. I don't care if you're angry that I don't want to be with you, or if you're trying to make me jealous or whatever you're trying to do, but the one thing that I do care about is the health of my people." She looked right at me, and again I could see the sadness. "Finn... we were close, and for that reason I'm going to leave you with a warning. Do not harm my people." She sounded fierce but I still saw the sadness, which then became emptiness.

"It was going to be a joke."

"I know. It's always a joke with you," she said, and the sadness in her eyes grew. It was as if she was putting on a show, pretending that she hated me. God, she was so stressful.

The Flame Princess was silent and said nothing to me or her.

"..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what I could say.

"I know that you still love me, Finn. I know that that might be the cause of this... but... Grow up, Finn. Act your age." she added, before going back down the ladder and leaving. The emptiness in her eyes was frightening.

"You love her? You still love her?" the Flame Princess asked.

"I don't... I don't know..." I muttered. "But I know that what I feel for you is real, FP. I don't want you to think that just because her and I were... well, that just because I love her, I don't love you, and I'm trying to play around with your feelings," I reassured her.

She looked away, and down at the people walking around in the Kingdom. I came closer to her, and grabbed her hand, trying to get her to look at me, to smile with me, to laugh with me, but she didn't. I felt her hand warming up again until it burnt.

"Agh!" I gasped and began to blow on my hand. "FP?"

"Finn... I need time to think. I'm sorry," she apologized before flying off, leaving me there on the roof staring after her, speechless.

"I just gone donked it up with both of them," I said to myself with a sigh.

Love was so complicated.

Oh boy! Done with that chapter. It actually took quite a while for me to write, but I'm super duper excited to be able to get it out to you guys this fast. It's been about like what... 3 days? Hopefully this seals the deal in that I want to have really frequent uploads, and do you guys justice!

So, uh, yeah. As usual:

Tell me what you think.

Like it?

Hate it?

Review please!

-Oh No. It's Happened.-
