Jake's Best Friend
Part 5
The next few days passed uneventfully. Finn and Jake were began to worry less about Tiffany as time went on. Their living room was still burnt to a crisp, they had been trying to make their house stop smelling like smoke before sending people in to repair the damage.
Jake and Beemo negotiated the price with some sort of gray skinned creature as Finn prepared to head out on an adventure. Jake joined Finn on the second floor a few minutes later just as Finn sheathed his red sword behind his back.
"How'd it go?" Finn asked.
Jake shrugged. "I have no idea how much gold we have down there, so I kinda just phoned my way through the negotiation and let Beemo handle it."
"Does he know how much money we have down there?" Finn responded.
"I hope so, I'd like to think someone is keeping track of our finances around here."
"Well doesn't matter." Finn put his back pack on and headed out with Jake. They weren't really sure where they wanted to go so they just started walking.
"Want to go to the candy kingdom?" Jake asked Finn.
"Nah, we already went there yesterday and the day before..." Finn responded.
"We need to find something evil to beat up, it's been way too long." Jake spent the next few moments in silence thinking about possible locations.
"There's a few generic monsters we could go fight but that's boring. Maybe Ice King kidnapped a princess." Finn sighed knowing that the Ice King hadn't kidnapped any princess's in a while. He hoped that that meant he was due, but it seemed like a long shot.
"I guess that's worth a shot" Jake sounded more enthusiastic about the prospect than Finn did.
They spent the day out and about. The Ice King didn't pan out but it usually wasn't that hard for them to find some kind of adventure. They eventually spent their afternoon doing battle with an over the top ham demon. The battle wasn't terribly challenging but they managed to stretch it out for a while.
"You Fools!" The ham demon shouted as dramatically as he could.
He flew around Finn and Jake coming in closer to swipe at them and falling back when they struck back.
"Did you mere mortals really believe... That you could defeat me!?"
Jake stretched a fist out that the demon narrowly dogded. "Woah! Actually that was kinda cool..."
He landed on a boulder nearby before continuing.
"Bah, a magic dog won't fare any better against my... Might!" He soared low to the ground and attempted to swipe his claws at Jake's face only for his right wing to be sliced open by Finn.
He flew lopsidedly through the air for a few moments traveling noticeably slower than normal. Jake made another attempt to stretch his fist out at him, successfully knocking him far away. The ham demon took advantage of the distance given to him to simply run away.
"You haven't seen the last of me!" Was the last thing he said before fleeing from view.
Both Finn and Jake were a little scratched and bruised but were otherwise fine.
"Well that was fun." Finn said.
"Too bad we didn't get into any really good fights though." Jake responded as they began the trek back home.
By the time the two had arrived home the sun was setting. The workers who would fix up their burnt living room had packed it in for the day. Finn reached out for the door only to be stopped by Jake who was deactivating the security.
"You really need to remember that thing man." Jake opened the door and let Finn go through before following.
Finn just shrugged at him before going to look at how the living room was doing. The damage was still pretty noticeable, it looked like the workers had spent the day moving furniture out of the room and removing damaged pieces of the floor, wall and ceiling.
"Hey man, you want something to eat?" Jake was digging through their fridge.
Neither of them had felt like cooking anything so they had a fairly simple meal. They didn't do much else for the rest of night before going to sleep. As Finn flopped down on his bed he started to think about how he would like for Tiffany to try and break in so they could be done with him.
Alright this things coming to a close tomorrow for sure.
