Finn listened to music as he walked, still listening to 'Gone Gone Gone'. He walked across the street and down the road to the park. He walked across the grass and walked up to a play ground. He sat down on a swing set and stared up at the night sky, slowly swinging. After ten minutes, he felt a tap on his shoulder. "You like this spot too, huh?" he looked behind at the mysterious figure. "It's okay, I'm no stranger," it was Marceline. She sat down on the swing next to him. "What are you listening to?" she noticed the earphones, he passed her one of them, still leaving the other one in his ear. She put it in and listened to it with him. "Cute song, do you relate to it or somethin'?" she asked, he didn't answer. "Personal... Got it," she slowly swung on the swing and looked up at the sky. They started up a conversation about school. "How do you like it at the school?" she asked,
"It's alright, I guess,"
"Yeah.. You'll get used to it, though," they kept talking about it. The conversation slowly drifted out of context. Finn and Marceline stood up and layed down in the middle of the park on the grass, still talking. Finn looked around at the trees and stopped at one spot. He looked closely. He saw an owl in the tree. But it wasn't like any other owl. It's eyes looked like it held the galaxy. The universe. "You okay?" she asked, staring at Finn,
"Hm?... Oh! Yeah yeah, I'm fine,"
"Okaay.."
"Sorry,"
"It's cool,"
"I never mentioned your bass skills," Finn shook his head, snapping out of the owl's gaze. It was just an owl anyway.
The next day, Finn woke up in bed. He was still in his casual clothes from the day before. "Ugh, I smell!" Finn got up and walked into the bathroom. He got unchanged and had a shower. He was really tired from hanging out with Marceline the night before. He couldn't stop thinking about the owl. It's eyes were so weird and bright. 'What did it mean?' he thought.
A week later, Finn got up and got changed and made his way to school, meeting Marceline and Bonnibel half way there. They walked together for the rest of the way. At recess, Finn couldn't stop thinking about the owl. He must of been really out of it because Bonnibel and Marceline noticed,
"Are you okay?" Marceline asked,
"Yeah, you seem really distracted," Bonnibel added on,
"What?... Oh yeah, I'm fine," he zoned out again,
"Are you thinking about your ex?" Bonnibel asked,
"Who's his ex?"
"Phoebe Flame, they broke up a while ago,"
"So that's why you related to that song!" Marceline smiled,
"What song?" Bonnibel asked,
"Doesn't matter.. Where is she?" Marceline looked around and saw Phoebe walking past. She gasped "there she is! I thought I heard of her before," Marceline whispered,
"Mm.." Finn frowned,
"No wonder you miss her.. She's hot,"
"Marceline!"
"What?" Marceline shrugged. Finn got a sharp pain in his head, he held it in pain. The owl and a flame flashed into his head,
"Argh!" he fell to the floor,
"Finn!" they both ran to him,
"Ow!"
"Get the nurse!" Bonnibel yelled,
"No no! Don't! I'm fine!" Finn stopped her, they both helped him back on the seat,
"Wow dude, what happened?" Marceline asked,
"I have no idea," the pain slowly went away.
After recess, Finn, Marceline and Bonnibel walked to their next class. They walked inside and all took a seat. "Are you okay now?" Bonnibel asked, placing her hand on his shoulder,
"Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine now,"
"That was intense, dude," Marceline patted him on the back. The teacher came into the room as everyone took a seat. "Good afternoon everyone, I am Mr Petrikov," he took a seat at his desk. "Today, we are going to talk about Ancient Artifacts," he stood up again and started writing on the chalk board. He slowly stopped writing even though he wasn't done yet, he dropped the chalk on the floor and turned to the class, wide eyed. "Uh, Mr Petrikov? Are you okay?" Marceline asked him,
"Huh?... Yeah... Yeah, where was I? Oh yes! Ancient Artifacts," he started scribbling on the board again. "That was weird," Finn pointed out,
"Yeah he does that sometimes," Bonnibel explained,
"When ever I'm around him, I feel cold. It's weird," Marceline said, she started playing with her pencil. As she said this, Finn got a sharp pain in his head again. The owl and a cube of ice flashed into his head. He fell off his chair and onto the floor. He held his head to the floor, trying to cope with the pain,
"Mmmmmgggrrrhhhh!" he continuously banged his head on the floor,
"Finn!" Marceline and Bonnibel stood up out of their chairs and knealt beside him,
"Finn, you need to go to the nurse!" Bonnibel tried to help him up but he stayed glued to the ground,
"Come on, Finn!" Marceline tried to pull him up aswell but it wouldn't work. They gave each other worried looks as other students in the room came over to inspect the situation. Finn slowly sat up. Everyone stared at him, waiting for him to talk. "I'm fine, the pain is gone," Finn looked up at them,
"Are you sure? That's twice today," Marceline pointed out,
"No no, it's okay"
"Alright... But one more time and we're taking you to the nurse," Bonnibel told him,
"Okay fine".
That lunch, Finn, Marceline and Bonnibel all sat in their normal spot. They all got out their lunch from their bags and ate. "What are you guys eating?" Marceline asked with her mouth full,
"Dude.. Mouth. Closed," Bonnibel frowned at her,
"Is this better?" she opened her mouth up wider,
"Dude, stop!"
"You love me, admit it,"
"No, I won't,"
"I already know you do,"
"Pft... Sure,"
"What are you eating anyway?"
"Fairy bread sandwich,"
"Sweet,"
"Just like me," Bonnibel smiled widely. Finn felt the sharp pain once again and banged his head loudly on the table. The owl and a lolly flashed into his head. "Not this again!" Marceline shook his shoulders trying to snap him out of it,
"Come on, Finn!" Bonnibel yelled at him,
"It's okay!" Finn sat up,
"Better than last time," Bonnibel said,
"You gotta stop doin' that, man," Marceline put her arm around him,
"I'm fine now, it's all good,"
"One more time and it's time to go to the nurse".
They finished eating lunch just before the siren rang. They packed up their stuff and made their way to their next class. Finn, Marceline and Bonnibel walked onto the oval and waited for everyone else to come. "I hope we don't HAVE to do anything," Marceline complained,
"Don't be lazy," Bonnibel rolled her eyes,
"I shall be lazy as much as I want,"
"What ever.." everyone walked onto the oval, along with the teacher. Including SP and Phoebe. "Great," Finn said sarcastically, the teacher put them into groups. He put Finn, Marceline, Bonnibel, Phoebe and SP in a group together. Of course. They all had to stretch before the game. Finn and Marceline stood next to eachother and stared at SP. Her stretching tactics were really weird and disturbing. "Ugh, she's like slime," Marceline whispered. 'Not again,' Finn thought. The pain came back, but even more intense and painful this time. "ARGH!" the owl and slime flashed into his head. Everything went black.
Finn was in a black void. There was nothing around him except for an owl. It wasn't the same owl, though. It had the same eyes but it was much bigger and brighter. "Finn," It spoke. Finn was surprised by this,
"W-What?"
"Welcome,"
"Uh... Thanks?"
"I need to tell you things. Weird things,"
"I was expecting that,"
"Finn, this isn't the life that you and all the people in this world are supposed to live,"
"What do you mean?"
"This world was different but an evil entity, popularly know as 'The Lich' took it away,"
"How?"
"He took away the four main elements of the world and with out those elements... It's not the same world,"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I need you to find these elements,"
"How?"
"The four main elements are Fire, Ice, Candy and Slime, The Lich hid them in the four main places those places would be. You know this world more than me so you and your friends should be able to figure it out,"
"What's this 'world' called?"
"The Land of Ooo,"
"How is it different from this world?"
"It has magic and is much more beautiful than this world,"
"The four main places? Do you mean- Ice for example would be on top of Mount Everest or something?"
"Yes, you and your friends need to figure it out if you want to live in The Land of Ooo,"
"What do we do when we find them all?"
"Combine the Orbs with nuclear waste,"
"Why?"
"That's how The Land of Ooo came about in the first place: A nuclear war,"
"Yeah.. Yeah, that makes sense," Finn said sarcastically,
"Do it, Finn. For this messed up world. Also, while your collecting the Orbs, only the people who represent the element can hold it,"
"Which friend represents which element?"
"Phoebe represents fire, Mr Petrikov represents ice, Bonnibel represents candy and Stacy represents slime. Good luck,"
"Wait!"
"What?"
"What's your name?"
"Crashy the Cosmic Owl... CAW!"
Finn suddenly woke up and found himself surrounded by everyone in his class. Marceline, Bonnibel, Phoebe and SP all went right up to his face. "ARE YOU OKAY?" they asked in unison. "I am... But I need to tell you guys something... Something crazy".
