What happened last:

Finn just gave Marceline a black rose... what could this mean for the both of them? The story left off when Finn walked in on Marceline singing a song for him from the bottom of her heart.

M: "Uh, FINN! What are you doing here?" She screamed at him, so flustered that she forgot that he was even there the whole time.

F: "Marceline..." Finn said in a smooth sympathetic voice.

Marceline just turned her head and groaned, trying to sound angry. But it was obvious that it wasn't anger that she was feeling. She couldn't say anything else because she felt soo embarrassed. She was singing her heart out, and entirely forgot that Finn was sleeping in her bed this whole time. She had no idea what to say so she just stayed quiet.

F: "Marceline, do you really feel that way?"

M: "Uh... Well, yea Finn. I thought you knew..." Marceline said with her cheeks flaring up.

F: "I mean... over the past few days, I've felt a bit different about you. But I didn't know you felt like this."

They both sat in silence for a few seconds. Both buzzing with the adrenaline that they were both feeling.

M: "Well, I thought you knew Finn. You did give me that black rose."

F: "Well, you did ask for it." Finn said with a confused tone in his voice.

M: "Wait... do you not know about the whole "black rose" thing?"

F: "There's a thing?"

Trying to push through her embarrassment and frustration, she began to explain the old vampire tradition to the young human boy. First, someone (usually a vampire) gives someone else (also usually a vampire) a red rose. Then, they give the rose back after turning it white by sucking the red out of it. Finally, they are supposed to give a black rose to the person that gave them the red one if they like them. The reason why this old tradition has soo many steps is because in ancient vampire times, there was a lot of confusion if someone gave a white rose back because they liked someone or if they just sucked the color red out of it and didn't want it back. Henceforth, there was another step to help understand what was meant. And the final color is black just because it's cool. All of this was explained to Finn and he never realized that he did all of this on accident.

F: "So, why does it have to end up as a black rose?"

M: "Well, I guess someone decided that a third step was needed so they just added another color. And black is kind of like... the favorite color of all vampires. Well, usually at least."

F: "So is that why you've been acting soo differently?

M: "Well, yeah Finn... I thought you felt the same way this whole time, but I guess I was wrong..." Marceline said as she started to tear up. And for once she didn't leave the room.

F: "Marceline... I-I do like you." Finn said as he approached Marceline to wipe a tear off her cheek.

Finn then grabbed Marceline's face and looked her straight in the eyes. Marceline almost knew what to expect so she closed her eyes and puckered her lips. Then Finn gave her a kiss on the forehead.

M: "Huh? Umm... oh. I thought you were going to..."

F: "What Marcy?" Finn said innocently. Having no idea what Marceline was insinuating.

M: "Nothing. Nevermind." Marceline said as she blushed.

F: "So what time is it anyway?" Finn said. Changing the subject.

M: "It's like, 10 AM."

F: "Well, I guess I should go back home to see if Jake's back yet. He's been gone for days with Lady."

M: "Why has he been gone soo long?"

F: "He said something about his and Lady's anniversary. He also told me that he was gonna be with her "for every moment of their anniversary"". Finn said while motioning quote marks with his hands."

M: "Wait... you know that an anniversary lasts only one day right?" Marceline said in a slightly worried voice.

F: "What?" Finn said in a monotonous tone in attempt to not panic.

M: "Look, lets just go to the treehouse and see if he left a message of where he went or something."

Finn nodded and Marceline went inside to get her daytime clothes then took his hand and she flew them to the tree house. In mid flight Finn noticed that their fingers were intertwined, which wasn't normal and also that her hair flowed ever so gracefully in the wind as she flew. Every black strand of hair seemed to fall perfectly in place. Finn noticed a lot of things like this lately. Admiring the beauty of the vampire queen that he's been friends with for years, all while still having a hard time believing that they both had these new feelings for each other. The last time Finn could remember feeling like this was with Flame Princess.

As soon as they arrived Marceline set Finn down and stared at something hanging from the tree house in horror.

M: "Oh no..."

F: "What is it Marcy?"

M: "A totem can."

F: "A tota- what?"

M: "Finn. How long has that been there?" Marceline said in a very serious voice.

F: "I don't know. I noticed it the first time I came back to the tree house after I left your house after that battle a couple days ago."

M: "This isn't good. That means Maja the Sky Witch could have taken Jake or something."

F: "What the stuff?! We gotta go find him then!"

M: "Ok Finn. We're gonna need some help finding her though." Marceline said in an almost bitter tone.

F: "Who?!" Finn yelled, still sounding a bit hysterical.

M: "PB. Let's go." Marceline said as she took Finn by the hand and they flew to the candy kingdom.

Once again, in mid flight, Finn looked up at Marceline's face as they gracefully moved through the air. The task of flying seemed soo effortless for Marceline, the only look on her face was determination. Finn was mezmerized by her hair as it gently flowed through the air just like last time, except that her hair had a deeper black tint to it, and a very subtle purple outine. The vampire's features were becoming more and more detailed to the young hero the more they were together.

M: "Finn? Did you hear me? We're here."

Finn didn't even realize that he began to daydream when they arrived at the the gates of the candy kingdom. He shook it off then followed Marceline to find Bubblegum. They went to her lab first. She wasn't there, which was odd for the Princess. That being their only idea, they went around the kingdom to try and find someone that might know where PB would be. Nobody was to be found.

F: "Where is everyone? This can't be good Marcy..." Finn said feeling his heart sink.

M: "I'm not sure. Wait a sec... What's today?"

F: "Today's the-"

M: "Oh! That's right! It's the annual napping ceremony."

F: "What's that?"

M: "Uh... It's the day that was declared that everyone should try to sleep as much as possible. After the whole "Goliad" thing and PB staying awake for like, a solid 83 hours, she made it a holiday. I thought you knew?"

F: "Uh... Oh yeah, I forgot. Heh heh." Finn of course, didn't know.

M: "She'll be in her room them. Follow me." Marceline said while walking away.

When they got to Bubblegum's door and Finn went to turn the doorknob, Marceline stopped him.

M: "Hold on there lover boy. I know you wanna see Bonnie naked, but she might get mad. So I should probably go in." Marceline said with a sly tone and a provocative smirk.

F: "Wha-? No! I wasn't trying to do that! I Uh..." Finn choked up on his own words due to his embarrassment and his cheeks turned scarlet red.

M: "Ha ha!" Marceline was mocking him because it was so easy to make Finn embarrassed. She found it kind of... cute.

Marceline then went into the Princess' room silently. She saw Bubblegum laying there, as peaceful as ever. It may have been only about 12PM but she was in a deep sleep. Marceline quietly floated down to PB's bed and snuck under her covers. She hugged PB from behind as she lay there asleep and whispered in her ear in an attempt to freak her out.

M: "How have you been Bonnibel?" Marceline said in a sexy voice.

PB: "Who the-?! Ach mein Glob!" Bubblegum said as she sprung out of bed and assumed a combat stance.

PB: "Oh... It's just you. Hey, Marceline." She said, sounding as if she was very unimpressed by something.

M: "Hey PB, I need your help with something. I know its a holiday but this is serious..."

Marceline began to explain the situation to Bonnie, telling her that Maja is causing problems again and she probably took Jake. They eventually got off topic and began to catch up. They hadn't had time to have girl talk in a while, or maybe they just didn't want to.

M: "So you traded the shirt I gave you in order to get me Hambo back that one time?"

PB: "Yeah... I miss it but I knew that Hambo meant more to you than anything else in this world."

M: "Aww... come here Bon Bon." Marceline said as she hugged Bubblegum, being thankful that she would sacrifice something she cared for in order to get one of Marceline's most prized possessions back from Maja. She used a nickname that she hasn't used in a long time.

PB: "Anyways, so what's all this about Finn being over at your house all the time now?" Bubblegum said while lifting an eyebrow and a smirk.

Marceline instantly blushed and was confused by how Bonnie knew that.

M: "What? No he's not! He was at my house like, one time last week!" Marceline flat out lied to Bonnie. She was soo flustered that she couldnt think of anything else to say.

PB: "It's ok Marcy. I can keep a secret." Bubblegum said, with the same sly smirk on her face and winked.

M: "*Sigh* It started when they showed up at my house-"

PB: "Who's they?"

M: "Finn and Jake?" Marceline said in a questioning tone, thinking that it was obvious.

M: "Anyway, they showed up and we fought an army of zombies, I didn't sleep for about 3 days prior to that so after the battle I sort of, passed out. Then I woke up to being tucked in—"

PB: "Ohh... you hate that." PB interjected and giggled a bit"

M: "So... I woke up to being tucked in. A bit later, I started thinking about how Ash never even attempted to do anything nice like that for me and I got a little... sad."

PB: "Probably an understatement..." Bonnie said under her breath so Marcy couldn't hear it.

Marceline gave Bonnie a mean look for a second then continued. Bonnibel always underestimating her vampire hearing abilities.

M: "Then, I was crying and I thought I saw Ash in my room, attempting to wake me up, so I was about to attack him but it was Finn. He just came over to see if I was ok and he brought me food, Bonnie. Top apples too."

F: "From like, the top of the tree? Sounds romantic. He he!" Bonnie giggled.

M: "Oh shut up you." Marceline said, not feeling weird talking about this stuff anymore.

Now, Still waiting in the hallway outside of the Princess' room...

F: "Hey guys? Are you ok in there?" Finn was getting nervous because he had been waiting for about 15 minutes. Hearing muffled yelling occasionally.

After a few moments of silence, and what seemed like a lifetime of waiting, Finn finally heard something that he could understand.

M: "Oh no, Finn! Help Us!" Marceline screamed.

Finn instantly went Hero-Mode, pulled out his sword and began to feel the adrenaline inside of him. Who could be attacking 2 of his best friends? It didn't matter. They would be destroyed in about 5 seconds. Then the enraged human boy kicked in the door and prepared for what was on the other side.

At the end of chapter 5 and after some lady time between Marcy and PB, the girls seem to be in imminent danger. Now Finn has to find out the problem and destroy whatever it may be.
