A few hours have passed and the group was getting tired. "Can't we rest for a while?" Finn asked. "Yeah, we should. It's probably really late anyways..." Marcy answered. They decided they'd rest and continue down the road the next morning. Marcy, Finn, and BMO laid on the ground and went to sleep. Marcy slowly drifted off and she saw Simon looking for her.
"Marceline, where are you?!" she heard Simon say. "Simon, I'm right here!" she yelled, hoping he'd hear her. "Marcy, where'd you go?!" Simon couldn't hear her. "Simon, I'm in Ooo! Help me! How'd I get here?!" she practically screamed. "Marcy, where are you?!" Simon said again. "I'm in Ooo! I'm going to see the Wizard to get back home! Simon,I miss you!" "Simon, I miss you!" a voice mocked Marcy. Simon was replaced by a woman... She recognised that woman- It was the Crown Witch! The Crown Witch laughed insanely. "I'll get you, Marceline, and your little doll too! You'll never get past me!" "Why do you want the dust so badly?!" Marcy asked. "I'll never tell you, you little BRAT!" she said harshly. "Watch your back. I'll be watching you." the voice slowly faded.
It was just a dream. Somehow she felt as if that really happened. She watched the clouds for a few minutes and then sat up. She noticed her new friends were in the middle of a conversation. They were arguing over if they should follow the dirt path into the forest or not. "BMO, we have to stay on the dirt path." Finn said. BMO had a different idea. "We could always go around the forest and find our way back to the dirt path..." "No." Marcy said. "The Sweet Witch told me to follow the dirt path." BMO didn't seem amused. "Okay." They began walking into the forest.
Once they got inside the forest, Marcy started to wonder why BMO didn't want to go through the forest. "Hey BMO, why didn't you want to go through the forest to get to Wizard City? "There's monsters in this forest! It's haunted! It's-" "BMO, relax." Finn interrupted. "It's only a myth. There's nothing wrong with this forest." Just then, they heard branches snapping. "W-What was that?!" Marcy asked, wondering if monsters really were after her. "I don't know, but stay behind me." Finn told Marcy. Marcy was worried for her new friends, but she was too scared to check it out herself. Finn and BMO wouldn't even let her.
The noises got closer. She saw a bright orange figure flash by her. "Grrr… Arf! Arf! Woof! Dog noises!" she heard him say. "Jake?" Finn said. "Is that you?" "Finn?" the figure said as he approached Finn. Jake was a bright orange dog with unusually big eyes. "It's been too long." Finn answered. Marcy was very confused. Who is this dog and how does he know Finn?
