Finn helped Marceline get patched up while Bonnibel and Phoebe helped SP after they got dressed. He placed a bandaid on her leg, disposing of the wrapper it came in as she sat on the side of the helicopter. "There! All done," Finn sighed happily. Marceline stared down at the ground sadly, Finn noticed. "Hey... You okay?" he looked up at her,
"Yeah... I'm okay," she moped,
"Something's telling me it's not," Finn smiled,
"Ahh... It's nothing really, just stupid memories. That's all,"
"About what?"
"... My mom... That's all,"
"Oh... Sorry," Finn blushed,
"No no... it's okay," she continued to look down at the ground,
"Come on, let's go," Finn held a hand out to her as he stood up,
"Heh," Marceline smiled as she grabbed it, following him to the rest of the group,
"Alright! Now that that cat fight is OVER, we can continue," Greg told the rest of the group. "Any objections?... No?... Alrighty! Let's go!" Simon lead them into the swamp, searching for the last Orb.
They walked for about an hour and still hadn't found anything yet. Finn and Marceline worked together while Bonnibel walked with Phoebe and SP and Simon walked with Bill and Greg. Finn and Marceline talked about the future and the world's current state. "Did you hear the news a few weeks back?" Finn asked,
"Which one?" Marceline asked as she picked up a rock,
"The one that was talking about earthquakes in South Korea?"
"Oh yeah, that one. It also said there were floods in Australia,"
"Is that even possible to have floods in Australia? I mean, it's Australia anyway,"
"I don't know. Never been," Marceline skipped the rock across a shallow part of water,
"It's kinda scary," Finn forrowed his eyebrows,
"No crud," Marceline laughed,
"No, seriously. Everything's falling apart,"
"I bet if the Land of Ooo came, none of this stuff would have happened,"
"What do you mean?"
"All the natural disasters. If the Land of Ooo came, none of it would be happening. It would, like, change the timeline. Change one thing and it effects the future,"
"You mean, like, the movies?"
"Yeah," Marceline jumped on a log and balanced on it as she walked,
"What do you think we'll be like when we change the world's fate?" Finn held his hand out so he could help her balance,
"What?" she grabbed his hand and continued to walk,
"I mean when we go to the Land of Ooo. What would we be like?"
"We'd be the same but... Probably mutated in someway I guess,"
"How?"
"The Mushroom War. You mentioned it before. It dropped nuclear bombs that mutated nearly everyone,"
"Do you think we'll be mutated though?"
"Most likely,"
"That kinda sucks,"
"Nah, not really. If you think about, we might gain special powers and abilities. We might even be able to fly! Man, imagine what that would be like!" Marceline grabbed onto a tree trunk and climbed up to the branches and walked along them,
"Heh,"
"We could fly anywhere! We might even get other awesome powers like telekinesis or... Invisibility! How cool would that be? Scaring as many people as you wanted!"
"That would be pretty awesome,"
"Exactly. You just have to look at the bright side of it, not the dark," Marceline stopped and looked down at him,
"I guess," Finn stopped and looked up at her,
"Finn,"
"Yeah?"
"Catch!" Marceline jumped down from a high branch and fell toward Finn,
"Ah!" Finn caught her in an instant,
"Thanks!" Marceline hopped out of his arms and continued to walk with him,
"Stop messing around! Are you even looking?" Greg yelled at them from infront of them,
"Shut up, Greg!" Marceline scowled,
"Catch up already!" he continued to walk with the rest of the group,
"Psh... Nerd," Marceline glared,
"Simon! Time!" Finn called to him,
"11:40am!" he yelled back,
"Thanks!... Wait, it's Wednesday, isn't it?" Finn asked Marceline,
"Yep,"
"Crud,"
"What's wrong?"
"It's Wednesday,"
"And?"
"It's half way through the week! We only have..." Finn tried counting the days,
"Five days including today," she finished his problem for him,
"Exactly!"
"Dude, calm it. All we have to do is find an Orb in this swamp, which we're pretty close to by now and nuclear waste. No biggey," she shrugged,
"Why are you being so level-headed about this?"
"Cause I should be, you shouldn't be stressin',"
"Hmph," Finn looked to the ground and watched his feet go one after the other, causing foot prints in the soggy mud. He looked around at the scenery, it was pretty beautiful for what the place was. He looked over at Marceline who was too distracted with watching the birds chirp in the trees. She looked really pretty. The reflection of the sun was shining in her eyes and made them sparkle somehow. She looked at him. "What?" she laughed,
"N-Nothing," he stuttered,
"Psh!" Marceline giggled, but she seemed distracted by the river up ahead. She stared at it as if something was wrong. "What is that?" Marceline ran up ahead, cruising past the rest of the group,
"Marcy, wait up!" Finn chased after her. He caught up to her and saw what she was staring at, there was a glinter in the river, but it was too far to reach. A tree branch was wedged into the ground and across the river but you wouldn't be able to go around it. The river's current was going quicker. "Do you think that's the Orb?" Marceline looked back at Finn,
"It looks like it," Finn shrugged,
"Cool," Marceline climbed onto the branch and made her way across the river,
"Marceline! What are you doing?!" Finn shouted,
"Getting the Orb!" she yelled back,
"We don't even know that! Come back over here before you kill yourself!" Finn held out his hand for her to reach,
"I'll be fine! Just trust me!" Marceline gave him a reassuring look,
"Uh- Alright, just be careful!" Finn warned her,
"Stop worrying!" Marceline shuffled across the branch, it was getting thinner and thinner the closer she got to the Orb,
"What is she doing?!" Bonnibel and the rest of the group ran over,
"We found the Orb, she just has to grab it!" Finn yelled over the sound of the current, it was going faster and faster,
"She's going to get herself killed!" Simon yelled,
"It's okay! She's got this!" Finn turned back to Marceline and watched her. She was close enough to the orb that she could grab it. She reached out to it. She felt the coldness emmiting from it. She swiped at it. Nothing. "What the-?... Oh crud!" Marceline shouted,
"What is it?!" FInn asked,
"I can't grab it! Only SP can!"
"HA! Funny! No way!" SP refused,
"SP! You have to!" Marceline yelled at her,
"How can I trust you?!"
"Please, SP!" Marceline reached out for her hand,
"I can't reach that far!"
"I'll help!" Finn grabbed her hand,
"Ugh! Fine!" SP let Finn place her on the shaky branch,
"Come on!" Marceline reached out for her hand,
"I'm coming!" SP quickly grabbed onto her hand and latched onto her like there was no tomorrow,
"Calm down... Just grab the Orb and we can leave!" Marceline scooched over so SP could get it,
"Alright alright!" SP shuffled across and reached out for it, grabbing it as she nearly fell in, Marceline quickly grabbed her,
"Woo! Go SP!" the group shouted, SP smiled at them and made her way back,
"Great job, SP!" Marceline smiled at her,
"Thanks!" SP looked at her for a moment and smiled,
"Heh," Marceline laughed and got her to scooched more up, SP made onto land with the Orb safe in her arms,
"Alright! Now you, Marcy!" Finn reached out for her,
"Coming!" As soon as Marceline said this, she looked back to where the water was coming from, the current became way too fast. The branch couldn't take it any longer. It snapped, causing Marceline to fall into the water, along with the current,
"MARCELINE!" Finn dived into the water after her,
"FI-!... HELP!... CAN'T-!... BREA-!" Marceline kept getting pulled under the water,
"I'M-!... COMING!" Finn swam after her as fast as he could, Marceline was struggling to keep her head above the water. Sharp rocks and branches were under the water and couldn't keep away from them. They swiped at Marceline's legs, which didn't help with her swimming. "AH-!" Marceline was pulled under the water,
"I'M COMING!" Finn dived underneath the water and saw Marceline unconcious under the water. He sped past all the sharp rocks and branches and eventually made it to her. He grabbed her and pulled her above the water. "HUH!" Finn took a big breath and flung Marceline over his shoulder. He looked around the edges and tried to find something that could pull him up, as he did this, he saw something terrifying at the end of the river. A waterfall. "AH! COME ON, MARCY! WAKE UP!" Finn yelled, she remained unconcious and out of breath. "COME ON!" Finn struggled to find anything. He then saw Greg and Simon running ahead, towards the waterfall. They snapped a branch off a nearby tree and splashed it into the water. Finn gripped onto Marceline and got ready for the impact of the branch. "BANG!" he thudded onto the branch, giving him a headache. He looked ahead and saw the edge of the waterfall. It was a long drop. Lucky Simon and Greg were there to save them. Greg pulled them out of the water with the help of the rest of the group.
"Are you alright?" Greg asked as he stood above Finn, staring down at him,
"I'm good... Wait! Marceline's still unconcious!" Finn quickly sat up from his rest and quickly crawled over to Marceline who was still sprawled on the floor. He lightly slapped her face. Nothing. "Oh my God! You have to give her C.P.R! Duh!" SP yelled at him,
"Alright alright!" Finn cimbed ontop of her and pressed on her chest over and over again,
"MOUTH TO MOUTH!" they all shouted at him,
"OKAY OKAY!" Finn leant over, Marceline started to cough just before he could do anything, She seemed really dazed, but she looked up,
"Uhh... Hi," she saw Finn leaning over her, really close to her face,
"Oh! Sorry," Finn quickly moved out the way and helped her sit up,
"Wooh! What happened there?!"
"Heh... You okay?" Finn asked,
"I'm fine now, just exhausted,"
"Normal. So... You ready to go find nuclear waste?" he asked her,
"As ready as I'll ever be," she laughed,
"Huh?!" Finn faced the group,
"YEP!" they all yelled back.
