Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.

The next day Finn traveled to the Candy Kingdom to express his feelings to Bubblegum. At the moment the ruler was at the hospital checking on Ash. The wizard was tied to a bed and sedated. Doctor Princess stood next his bed looking at some notes. Bubblegum entered the room and glanced at Ash, he seemed to be doing much better then when he was first brought in. When Ash was first brought in he was raving mad and clawing at his own skin screaming stuff about burning flames and darkness in his skin. Simon explained what happen and Bubblegum became curious as to what was injected into Ash. After a few blood test Bubblegum was shocked to see some chemicals similar to the Well of Power inside the blood along with some other chemicals. The chemical mix had scared Ash leaving him a mess. Marceline even felt sorry for him.

Bubblegum looked at Ash and then turned to head back to her castle to ponder who was this mysterious organization behind the attacks and what were they planing? Whatever it was it was bad and all of Ooo was in danger. As Bubblegum made her way to the castle, she encountered Finn. The sugary princess saw the look in the young hero's and realized he was here to possible confess his love for her. Bubblegum sighed as she thought about the promise she made with Marceline about using Finn's affection to get him to do task for him. The fact was Bubblegum did care for Finn greatly, but it wasn't the kind of care that created a romantic relationship. If Bubblegum was still in her 13 year old form perhaps they could have actually formed a romantic relationship, but then her responsibilities came knocking and she had to grow up. Bubblegum could turn herself back into a child with science, but then Lemongrab would be legally be in charge of the Candy Kingdom and with King pulling Lemongrab's strings, Bubblegum couldn't afford to abandon her kingdom.

Bubblegum had to set the record straight with Finn and let him down gently.

"Hey Bubblegum." Greeted Finn with a big smile.

"Hey Finn." Said Bubblegum.

"I have something I want to tell you, can we discuss it in private?" Said Finn.

Bubblegum nodded and lead Finn to the royal garden. The two of them sat on a bench. Finn reached into his backpack and pulled out the sweater Bubblegum had given to him.

"Bubblegum I really really like, you a lot and I think...you like me back. You made...this sweater...with love and it really helped me out against the Lich. I have all these feelings for you, so I'm just going to say it. Bubblegum I LOVE you!" Said Finn as he starred deeply at Bubblegum.

Bubblegum just starred back at Finn with sadness. Finn was a honest and kindhearted person and a true hero to all of Ooo. What Bubblegum was going to do would hurt both her and Finn. Bubblegum cared about Finn deeply, but it wasn't love. If Bubblegum allowed Finn to fall in love with her, she would being giving him a false idea of love. Finn needed to have someone in his life that would truly love him back.

"Finn...I like you a lot, but I don't love you like that Finn." Said Bubblegum.

"What? But...what about that time you were...13 and we hung out and had fun. I...thought we had a...connection." Said Finn looking hurt and confused.

"I greatly...enjoyed that time with you Finn and I will treasure those memories, but as much as I like you I don't think we could become more then friends. You can't have a romantic relationship with only one person showing the other love. It's a false love and I want you to find true love and experience it." Said Bubblegum as she put a hand on Finn's shoulder.

Finn just looked at the ground sadly as he fought back tears of sadness. The young human stood up and started to head out of garden.

"I'm...just going to head home." Mumbled Finn as he left.

"I'm sorry...Finn, but this is for your own good. I'm sure you'll find someone to love." Said Bubblegum as she stood up and went into her castle.

On a balcony above Crimson in his butler disguise watched the scene between Finn and Bubblegum. Oh it was so delicious to see the annoying hero's heart broken! It cheered Crimson up greatly. Ever since the failed ambush Crimson had been in a bad mood, he had held Sylvester and Maja responsible for the failure and had tortured them a little with lightning and psychic magic for about an hour. The scientist and the witch had begged for forgiveness saying that they would do better. Crimson stopped the torture and let them go.

Back in the present Crimson watched Finn slowly make his way out of the Candy Kingdom. The villain just chuckled at the hero's misery. Crimson considered suiting up and going to kill Finn, but then he had a nastier and crueler idea.

"Just you wait little human I have something special for you." Said Crimson as he teleported to the secret lair.

Finn walked home and went inside. Jake was playing with BMO and he looked up at Finn and saw the sadness in his eyes.

"Yo man what's with you? You look like some rained on your parade." Said Jake.

Finn walked over to a corner sat, pulled out a picture of Bubblegum, and began crying.

"Bubblegum doesn't love me!" He sobbed, before he broke out into a sad song.

I can't keep pushing this down any deeper,

Why do I keep trying if I can't keep her?

Every move I make,

Is just another mistake,

I wonder what it would take,

'Cause it feels like there's a hole inside my body,

Like there's a hole inside my heart.

It's like this feeling is gonna consume me,

If I keep waiting for this thing to start.

Oh, I feel like I'm all gummed up inside,

It's like I'm all gummed up inside,

It's like I'm all gummed up insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide...

Finn broke down into more tears as he hunted the picture of Bubblegum to his chest. Jake and BMO looked at Finn with great concern. Jake pondered what to do then he finally came up with a plan.

"Oh, Finn... Uncle Jakey's gonna find you a new love interest." Said Jake as he grabbed himself some boots and a backpack. "Finn, I'm going out for a quick... walk in the woods."

Finn ignored Jake and continued to sob. Jake turned to BMO.

"BMO, you look after him with your camera-eyes."

"If anyone tries to hurt Finn, I will kill them." Said BMO.

"Ok, good." Said Jake as he left the house and went off on his quest.

Jake headed in the direction of the Fire Kingdom. The magic dog ponder how he should go about this. There were plenty of women in Ooo, but the problem was that they were all older and some were creatures Finn would have no romantic interest in. Finn needed to be with someone roughly his own age, they would also need to have a great and caring personality. Jake thought about Marceline, Lucinda, and Gearga, they had great personalities and got along well with Finn, but they were more like friends then romantic interest, sure Finn had gone on that one date with Marceline, but that was just as friends.

Jake scratched his head in thought. Man finding Finn a girlfriend would be tougher then he thought. Jake thought about asking for some help from Simon or Marceline, since they were the oldest beings he knew and they had both done a lot of traveling all over Ooo. Jake had exited the forest and came across a upside down wash tub. At that moment Flambo the flame bit came crawling out from under the wash tub and stretched his limbs, he turned and saw Jake and greeted him.

"Hey man what's up?" Asked Flamo.

"Not much, just on a little quest. Hey... You're pretty plugged-in, Flambo maybe you can help me. Do you know any princesses Finn's age? I'm trying to get Finn a girlfriend." Said Jake.

"Oh, yeah. I know just the skirt, ...and she's way hot!" Said Flambo as he pointed to the Fire Kingdom off in the distance.

Jake's eyes widen. Though he knew very little about the Fire Kingdom, one thing was for sure. The place was dangerous and hazardous to anyone who wasn't a fire or earth elemental. Jake wondered what kind of princess lived there.

"She's from Fire Kingdom? I think I'll die if I go in there." Said Jake.

"Heh, oh yeah." Said Flambo as he turned to face Jake.

Flambo began chanting a magical spell and creating a series of runic symbols. He then spat on right before Jake turned bright blue. Jake looked slightly disgusted as he whipped the spit from his forehead.

"There, I cast Flame Shield on yous. Also I spat on yous." Said Flamo with a smirk.

Jake angrily grunted as he pulled out his cellphone and turned the BMO-cam on to see how Finn was doing. The situation was not good. Finn now was trying to inflect pain on himself to stop crying.

"Gold-darn you, tear ducts! Yah! Yah!" Cried Finn as he punched himself in the eyes.

"Ugh... Hang in there, buddy." Said Jake as he put the cellphone back into his bag.

Jake and Flambo then headed towards the Fire Kingdom.

Deep within the Fire Kingdom castle Flame Princess sat in her lantern suspended above the throne room. The young princess had recently turned 14 and that thought had made her sad, she had spent eight of her years trapped in the lantern. The only thing that had kept the young girl sane and from sinking into depression, was her visits from Marceline. The vampire was always invisible, when she came to visit, but she would always announce her visits by tapping on the side of the lantern and calling to FP by her name Phoebe. The princess enjoyed these visits and it made her realize that there were still people out there that cared for her. Marceline would tell Phoebe about her adventures and all the people she met. These stories fascinated Phoebe and she dreamed about being free from the lantern and going on adventures with real heroes. Phoebe became interested in the tales about the hero called Finn. According to Marceline Finn was just a year older then Phoebe. The princess wondered what Finn looked and had a desire to meet him.

A month ago Marceline had come to visit Phoebe on her birthday. The princess heard a tapping on the side of her lantern soon by a voice.

"Happy 14th birthday little sis." Said Marceline's voice.

"Thanks sis." Said Phoebe with a smile.

"I brought you a little something." Said Marceline as something was tossed in through the top of the lantern.

Phoebe looked down and saw a little cupcake with a candle on it. Phoebe smiled as she picked the cupcake and candle up. Phoebe lit the candle and thought up a wish, before blowing it out.

"What did you wish for?" Asked Marceline.

"I wish to meet that hero called Finn and go on adventures with him." Said Phoebe.

"Nice wish." Said Marceline.

"Thanks. Can you tell me about Finn?" Said Phoebe.

"His a pretty cool guy. Finn one of the best people I know and his also one of the wildest and kindest people I know. No matter the danger Finn would always try to help a person, his a little reckless at times, but his smart to. You would like him." Said Marceline.

"Maybe someday I will or maybe not." Said Phoebe as she Leander against one of the lantern walks.

"You will someday. This lantern won't be your prison forever. Your body might be trapped here, but your spirit never is." Said Marceline.

"I'll remember that and thanks for the cupcake sis." Said Phoebe.

"Any time sis and happy birthday." Said Marceline before she flew off.

Phoebe sighed at the memory, oh how she wished to be free and able to have physical contact with another being and sore through the skies. Phoebe was fixing to practice making things with her flames, when all of a sudden the main doors opened and a flame bit and a dog entered the throne room. Phoebe starred at the dog, she had never seen him before and wondered what he was doing here. The dog looked up at her and studied her. Phoebe wondered why the dog was looking at her.

Jake studied the girl in the lamp, from what he could tell she was young and she seemed pretty enough to perhaps get Finn's mind off of Bubblegum. The magical dog then noticed everybody in the throne room looking at him.

"Yo! What up? I'm Jake, Jake the-" Began Jake, but Flambo hit Jake in the gut. "Dooug."

"Dude, you gotta pretend like you're of royal blood." Whispered Flambo.

"Could have told me this sooner." Whispered Jake in annoyance.

"Haha! Yeah." Said Flambo.

Jake and Flambo walked towards the throne, which had a bunch of royals and nobles around it.

"Good morrow, Majesty! I am Sir Jake, Baron of the Grasslands!" Exclaimed Jake in his most official sounding voice.

In the lantern Phoebe's interest was perked, she had heard about a dog named Jake from Marceline and according to her Jake had magical powers and was Finn's brother. Phoebe wondered what Jake was doing here. On the throne Flame King studied his guest

"Hmmmmm... What do you seek? Speak!" Said Flame King as he pointed a finger at Jake.

"Uhk-uhg... I come as an envoy of Prince Finn." Said Jake quickly.

"A prince?!" Asked Flame King.

Phoebe took this information in. According to Marceline, Finn was a hero not a prince.

"A prince! Finn is a prince! Yeah, a prince!" Cheered the nobles in the room.

"Yeah and he's the same age as your daughter." Said Jake as he pointed his left hand at Phoebe.

Phoebe smiled and looked exited, whatever Jake was up there was a chance that Phoebe would be free from the lantern and she would get to meet Finn.

"Bold words, but know you that my daughter is a rare jewel and her safety and happiness are my biggest concerns . She cannot be wooed by just any ragamuffin prince! What proof do you have of his worthiness?" Said Flame King.

"Umm... Oh, Prince Finn is AWESOME!" Said Jake with confidence.

"An awesome prince?! That's the best kind!" Said the crowd of nobles.

"Silence, my molten mommas." Ordered Flame King as he stood up and strolled over to Jake. "We are perplexed. If you are a baron true, where is your gift? 'Tis common practice among visiting dignitaries."

"Yeah, a gift! Where is the gift?!" Cheered the crowd of nobles.

"You're blowin' it, bromite." Whispered Flambo in fear.

"A gift?! Sire, Prince Finn sent, uh... three gifts!" Said Jake as he held up three fingers.

"What?!" Cried Flambo

"Hmmmm... Three is more than one." Said Flame King.

Phoebe watched with interest.

"The first gift is um-um-um this water bottle." Said Jake as he pulled out a bottle of water from his backpack.

Of course a bottle of water is the worse gift you could get for a Flame Person and many of the nobles and the Flame King were greatly angered by this. Jake smiled nervously and shook the bottle and it accidentally slipped from his hand, consequently hitting a short Flame Person known as the Flame Jester who was crazily dancing to the side. The water hit Flame Jester and he cried and melted into a yellow and orange puddle. Jake looked greatly disturbed at what he accidentally had done, while everyone scowled at him. Flambo face palmed himself and considered running out of the castle before things got worse.

"Prince Finn has smoked my jester! Pourquoi?! ...I did hate my jester though. All he did was dance like a idiot and told lame jokes and riddles." Said Flame King.

"Uh, Prince Finn hated him too." Said Jake quickly.

Jake tried to think of something that would be a good idea for a second gift, his eyes fell upon a musician playing a a guitar. Jake snatched it from the musician and turned to Flame King.

"For your second gift, a, serenade, that Finn wrote for m'lady." Said Jake as he looked up to Phoebe and began to play a song.

Oh, Flame Princess,

I think you're rad.

I really wanna kiss you,

Right in front of your dad.

'Cause I think you're great,

I wanna be your mate,

or maybe go on a date.

'Cause it feels like there's a fire inside my body,

Like there's a fire inside my heart.

It's like this fire is gonna consume me,

If I keep waiting for this thing to start.

Ohh, I feel like I'm all warmed up inside,

I feel all warmed up inside,

I feel all warmed up insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide.

Phoebe laughed and applauded, she like the song and she began to wonder if Finn had actually wrote it for her. Was it possible that the young hero was some kind of secret admirer? Flame King however did not look amused.

"A fire inside my body?! I am disgusted! Give me your third terrible gift and be on your way!" The fiery monarch bellowed.

Jake took out his cellphone to checks on Finn with BMO's camera. The young boy seemed to be doing worse. He kept sobbing and BMO tried to cheer him up, but nothing he did worked. Jake frowned he was failing his brother and that saddened him.

"Oh, Finn, I'm so sorry!" Said Jake.

Phoebe managed to hear the crying and wondered what was going on. Flame King looked at the cellphone in Jake's hands and saw Finn sobbing.

"Is that him? He looks terrible! Why isn't he here? Why did he send his buffoon?! Leave now, buffoon, for you have failed!" Shouted Flame King as his flames shot up with his anger.

A panic look appeared in Jake's eyes as he put the cellphone back in his backpack.

"No, wait! Uh-um, Prince Finn is here!" Said as he turned around and stretched his stomach to look like Finn.

Phoebe looked down at Jake and the fake Finn he had made with his gut, unlike the others in the room. Phoebe had heard about Jake's shapeshifting abilities from Marceline. It was amazing to see those powers in person and the young princess couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"Greetings, Flame King! My final gift is your favorite thing in the world." Said Jake in a disguised voice for the Fake Finn.

"A koala bear?" Asked Flame King.

"Uh, yes!" Said Fake Finn.

Jake stretched his stomach and created a box in the Fake Finn's hands. A koala bear poked it's head out of the box and waved.

"I don't like koalas anymore. Begone!" Said Flame as he turned to head back to his throne.

The Fake Finn began to cry and sob.

"Dude, don't cry." Said Jake.

"Can't help it! I'm in love with Bubblegum!" Said Fake Finn.

"She's too old for you." Said Jake.

"I don't care!" Said Fake Finn as he grabbed Jake by the shoulders.

"Come on! Flame Princess seems into you." Said Jake trying to reason with the Fake Finn.

"No, no, no! Only Bubblegum!" Declared Fake Finn.

Jake rubbed Fake Finn to cheer him up, then the Fake Finn bite Jake's left arm. The Fake Finn then jumped onto Jake and the two of them fell to the ground wrestling. Everybody in the throne room looked at the two fighters confused. Phoebe watched the fight and wondered if Jake was being serious about this or if he was just crazy, she also wondered what kind of relationship the hero had with the women who locked her up.

"Ouw, Finn! Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn stop man..." Gasped Jake as Fake Finn began to strangle him.

Jake made a coughing wheezing sound and fell to the ground looking dead. The Fake Finn stood over him. Everything was silent until the Flame King started to laugh and clap.

"Excellent!"

"Huh?!" Said Fake Finn.

Jake watched the Flame King with one eye opened wondering what was going on.

"You have indeed proven yourself! Any prince ruthless enough to kill his own buffoon would make an excellent boyfriend for my evil daughter!" Said Flame King.

"Whaaaat?!" Thought Jake in confusion as he starred up at the young princess.

The girl didn't look evil to him.

"She's an unstoppable force of destruction. Ahhhh, nothing a psycho like you can't handle. Congratulations!" Said Flame as he went over and pulled a nearby lever and lowered the lantern.

The lantern door opened and Phoebe stepped out, she took a few deep excited breaths as she felt the stone floor on her feet. She was finally free! Phoebe raced over to Fake Finn and Jake. Phoebe embraced the Fake Finn.

"I'm so happy! I'm so happy to meet you, Prince. You're my Prince." Said Phoebe.

The crowd of nobles cheered, even Flame King seemed to be in a good mood. Phoebe leaned over to Jake.

"Just play along and follow my lead." She whispered.

"What?" Asked Jake.

"I know this isn't the real Finn I'm holding, my big sis told me about you. I don't know why your here, but I thank you for getting me out of that lantern. I'll get us out of here and then you can tell me what you want." Said Phoebe.

Jake nodded his head. Phoebe turned to the crowd her flames glowing bright.

"I am Phoebe the Flame Princess and this is my boyfriend Prince Finn. Fear the power of my flames for they burn as bright as our love!" Shouted Phoebe as she hurled a few small fireballs about at the nobles.

The fireballs exploded harmlessly above the nobles heads freaking them out. Flame King laughed with approval. Phoebe then grabbed Fake Finn and used her powers to lift them into the air dragging Jake along with them. The fiery princess blasted off towards the exit doors.

"Hey don't leave me here!" Shouted Flambo as he jumped and managed to grab a hold onto Jake's leg.

The group blasted off out of the throne room and left the castle.

"Ah young love." Sighed Flame King.

A few hundred yards away from the castle the group landed on the ground. Jake made the Fake Finn disappear and Flambo decided to run off. Phoebe starred up at the sky in wonder as she felt a breeze. The princess turned to Jake.

"So why did you come here looking for a princess?"

"Alright I'll tell you. My brother Finn just broke up with the girl he had a crush on Princess Bubblegum. Now his all depressed and stuff. I was told that there was a princess his age in the Fire Kingdom, so I came here to get you." Explained Jake.

"Sounds like you care about your brother a lot." Said Phoebe.

"I do. So will you help me out? You don't have to do anything to big just meet him and say hi." Said Jake.

"Sure I'll help its the least I can do after you got me out of that lantern and I always wanted to meet a hero." Said Phoebe.

"Great, but one question. Are you evil?" Said Finn.

"No I'm not evil! My dad just says that because he believes that everyone including himself is evil, just because we have destructive abilities, but I know better." Said Phoebe.

"Alright." Said Jake.

"I just need to get something before I see Finn. You see my nature makes me hazardous towards non fire elementals. I would end up setting things on fire and hurting people by accident, but I know someone who created a magical item that would allow me to touch things without burning them or setting them on fire." Explained Phoebe as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a old picture.

Jake looked at the picture and his jaw nearly dropped off. It was a picture of Simon and Marceline with a younger version of Phoebe.

"I need to find this guy here, his name is Simon and his kind of like my uncle. The girl is named Marceline and she's my big sister." Said Phoebe.

"Your in luck princess, I'm friends with both of them and I know where they live." Said Jake.

"Great!" Said Phoebe.

Jake stretched his limbs and began walking with Phoebe flying right behind him. They soon reached the Ice Kingdom. Phoebe waited outside the castle, while Jake went inside to get Simon. A few minutes later Jake came out with Simon. A surprised look appeared on Simon's face as he saw Phoebe. The fire elemental floated towards Simon. The old wizard reached into his jacket and pulled out the pendent and tossed it towards Phoebe. The princess caught it and slipped it over her neck. Simon stepped forward and embraced Phoebe, the princess returned the embrace.

"Come on inside, I'm sure we have a lot to talk about." About Simon.

They went inside the castle. Betty went to welcome them and glanced at Phoebe and smiled.

"So your Phoebe. My name is Betty and I'm Simon's wife, I guess that makes me your aunt." Said Betty.

"Nice to meet you Betty." Said Phoebe with a smile.

Simon called Marceline on her phone and twenty minutes later she arrived, when the vampire saw Phoebe she rushed over and embraced her laughing with joy.

"Looks like your wish did come true." Said Marceline as she smiled at Phoebe.

"Yep I'm free now and I'm going to meet a hero and help him out." Said Phoebe.

Jake told everyone about his trip to the Fire Kingdom and about Finn's condition. Marceline thought it was a nice idea to introduce Finn to someone his own age and she was ok with Phoebe meeting Finn and saying hi. Marceline then decided to take Phoebe outside to hang and take in the sights, while Simon told Jake, Phoebe's past. Simon told Jake about the murder of Flame Queen, the promise he made to Flame King to raise Phoebe, and the incident at the festival that lead to Phoebe bing imprisoned in the lantern by Bubblegum due to fear of Phoebe's powers.

Jake was shocked to hear that it was Bubblegum that had the young princess locked up. Phoebe hadn't done anything wrong and she obviously didn't mean anyone harm that day. Bubblegum had overreacted and made a bad call in judgement. Simon then told Jake that he and Marceline suspected that Crimson was the one that attacked Phoebe at the festival and was possible the one who murdered the Flame Queen. That suspicion made sense to Jake every time something bad happened Crimson had some involvement in it.

After the talk Jake was ready to introduce Phoebe to Finn. Jake and Phoebe headed towards the Grasslands and to the tree fort.

"Ok Phoebe I'll bring Finn outside and you just wait out here." Said Jake.

"I'm going to do a little flying." Said Phoebe as she flew into the air and raced around the sky above.

"That's perfect! That'll get Finn's attention." Said Jake as he went inside the tree fort.

Jake found Finn still sobbing in the corner as he went over to him. Jake snatched the photo of Bubblegum away from Finn. The young hero shouted and made a grab for the picture, but Jake kept it away from him.

"Give it back!" Demanded Finn.

"Not until you go outside and get some fresh air, you've been in here all day crying and that ain't healthy man. You have to get over Bubblegum. Come on I got someone cool for you to meet." Said Jake as he headed towards the door.

Finn sighed and reluctantly followed. They went outside and Jake pointed up, Finn looked up in confusion and saw what appeared to be a fireball flying around in circles.

"Hey I got Finn!" Called Jake to the fireball.

The fireball turned and raced down towards Finn and Jake. Finn wasn't sure what was going on, as the fireball got closer, he realized the fireball was actually a person. It was a girl with yellow orange skin, flaming red hair, and wearing a red dress. The girl stopped in front of Finn and Jake and landed on the ground before them. The girl smiled at Finn. The young hero was awestruck by the girl's beauty.

"Hi I'm Flame Princess, though you can just call me Phoebe." Greeted the girl.

Finn was at a loss a loss for words, finally he found his voice.

"I'm Finn...the Human, Hero of Ooo."

"I've heard a lot about Finn and I'm amazed at all the cool stuff you've done. I just came by to meet you and to say hi." Said Phoebe.

"Thanks. Um...you know if ever want to go on an adventure or anything I'd be glad to let you join in." Said Finn.

"I'd love that." Said Phoebe with a little blush.

Finn blushed a little to.

"Where can I find you?" Asked Finn.

"I'm at the Ice Kingdom. Well it was nice meeting you...and I look forward to hanging out with you." Said Phoebe with a wave as she took off into the air.

"It was great meeting you to." Called Finn with a wave as he watched Phoebe fly away.

Finn smiled as he felt his heart beat rapidly. The depression he had felt a few minutes earlier seemed to have evaporated. Jake just smiled and laughed.

"Young love!"

Phoebe returned to the Ice Kingdom and was greeted by Marceline.

"How did it go?" Asked Marceline.

"It went pretty good. Finn was...kind of shy at first, but I think he likes me." Said Phoebe.

"Do you like him?" Asked Marceline.

"I...do." Said Phoebe.

"I have a feeling the two of you are going to get along just fine." Said Marceline.

Phoebe smiled and retired to her old bedroom, she fell asleep and dreamt of going on a wild and fun adventure with Finn. At the tree fort Finn was dreaming about going on an adventure with the fiery princess. Everything was peaceful.

At the secret lair Crimson had seen the meeting between Finn and Phoebe and became furious as Finn's spirt was lifted. The masked villain watched a replay of the meeting again and agin with annoyance. Crimson was furious that Phoebe was free and that would present a problem when Pyro tried to take the throne of the Fire Kingdom. The masked villain tried to think up a plan, when he remembered the plan he came up with for Finn earlier. Crimson smiled underneath his mask. That plan could still work and he could use it to deal with Phoebe. Finn and Phoebe would both die and Crimson would deliver the dead princess to the Fire Kingdom's doorstep along with a little fake evidence that would have the Flame King believe his daughter had been murdered by soldiers of the Candy Kingdom sparking a war between the two kingdoms. Both kingdoms would gather allies and bring all of Ooo into chaos. The war would happen earlier then the organization had planned, but it's master goal would still be completed.

"All is fair in love in war." Said Crimson as he laughed evilly.

To be continued.
