The next day, as PB packed a small backpack and pulled on her boots, Finn burst through the door,
"Hey Princess, sorry about last night! Flame Princess invited me to go for a walk and I totally spaced it."
"its fine."
She pulled on a small jacket and began to leave the room.
"so, uh, you're not mad?"
"no, Finn… not at all."
Finn scratched his head confused, he was sure she would be mad.
"well, cool then! So where we going today?"
PB spun around at the door, looked back at him, and laughed,
"Oh no , no, no Finn, Im going to see a very special friend. You can't come. Sorry."
She ran out the door and called back,
"bye Finn!"
Jake walked around the corner,
"Hey man, whats up? You look kind of blue and wheres PB? Oh, let me guess, shes all mad because you ditched her."
Finn sat down on the step and looked around confused,
"no… she said it was cool… He does she have a friend that's very special and that we don't know?"
"uhh, nope."
"strange, you know somethings up wither her. First she didn't get mad when I forgot to come last night, then she put on some strange camping clothes, and theeen she claimed she was going to see a special friend and I couldn't come."
"hmmm,"
Finn jumped up,
"oh, oh! We should follow her and see whats up!"
"I don't know dude… maybe she just wants to be left alone."
"Think about it! Maaaybe she was being forced by the Ice King to leave home or maybe shes in some serious danger and that was her trying to protect us!"
Finns eyes grew huge and teary, "such a brave girl, Hold on PB! We're coming to save you!"
Jake smacked his face, it was hard being the voice of reason sometimes. The two began to walk in the direction of the princess, careful to remain unseen. Princess Bubblegum looked down at her watch,
"hmm, ok so at this rate I should get there right around sunset."
She giggled to herself and pressed on, the hike would be a long one, but she knew no matter what she wanted show her appreciation to Marshall Lee.
