The scene opens up to show TME while he was waiting for Atomsk to show up.
Just then, Atomsk comes in.
"Hey man, sorry I'm late. Never thought I post that big of a chapter. Reminds me of the good old days when we did that."
"Yeah, been awhile… hopefully people will like it and think its a late christmas gift… anyway ready for a Chapter 2 for Finn the Foster Wood Nymph?" TME said while he grins at Atomsk.
"Oh yes. Super ready hehe." Atomsk said with a big grin.
"Good… just to recap… mind recapping things since its been awhile?... last I remember, Kusa and Rain, a wood nymph couple, finding an infant Finn instead of Joshua and Margaret… and instead of Jake, Finn now has allies with Emerald the magical inclined Cat man and Cedric the muscle inclined Wolfman… after a orgy we found out Emerald was now Undeath's Fiance… or least Life attempts that, Emerald would have to date her and do a LOT to keep her from doing things against the rules… same with Undeath's bodyguard while she was on Ooo… that being Maite, someone around Emerald, Finn, and Cedric's age right?" TME said while he rubs his head when he wondered if he got that right or not.
"Yup. Not to mention Finn and Cedric secretly heard it and stuff." Atomsk said.
"No kidding, but hey, more OC's for us to have fun with hehe… still got to age them up later with some time skips but may as well have comical moments soon." TME said while he grins at Atomsk when he looks excited for the fun to be… even the lemons with the adults of the story.
"Indeed, pretty sure the boys will have to be glad they were no longer under punishment considering the dungeon mishap." Atomsk said.
"No kidding… anyway ready to start this officially and comical stuff started?" TME said while he cracked his knuckles when he was ready to start the chapter officially.
"Yes. Bring in the funny." Atomsk said.
"OK… its torture time with a clothing shop spree for Emerald, Finn, and Cedric since they would most likely be dragged into this… comical for the ladies and who knows… could have Maite bring Cedric and Finn some dates with say… Rachel her cousin or sister and Azure their friend?... should be fun… maybe a lady for Finn if Azure or Rachel is brought in for Cedric… your call who we use for Dead world lady friend around Finn's age." TME said while he grins when it seems like this would get Finn more in the spotlight with romance before he shrugs.
"Still that should be future us to worry about… got the set up first to kick off so…" TME said before the scene shifts to…
Ooo/ Wood Nymph Territory/ Large area/ Emerald, Finn, Cedric
"OK… so in a number of hours, I'll be meeting with Lady Life, Lord Death, and their daughter Lady Undeath with some guards Lady Un will have… apparently I was told to bring you two for some reason so please Finn… Cedric… for the love of all that us holy and unholy… don't anger a glob who can literally rip your soul from your body… Lord Death is a bit protective of his daughter… saw him pull a guys soul from his body, slap it directly, and shoved said soul while it was dazed back in their body… right up the ass…" Emerald said when he looks seriously at Finn and Cedric near them as the trio walked with Emerald in the lead since he was leading them to a meeting point.
"Hey relax man, we're not gonna do something stupid… well besides Finn." Cedric said.
"Hey!" Finn said as Emerald gave Cedric a half lidded look.
"Cedric… remember the time you got caught peeping on bathing wood nymph women after your dad had a talk with you on tiers and stuff?... and the beating you got I had to heal?" Emerald said while he really gave Cedric a half lidded look.
"H-Hey, it was an accident. I just stumbled to the wrong place." Cedric said.
"Surrrre." Finn said when he smirks as the group continue on while their antics continue… as this happens…
With Grandfather Oak…
"For the last time Jungle Queen… you have no authority here in this forest… nor do you have authority to give Grandfather Oak requests like this… just because your daughter's birthday is approaching doesn't mean you can take one of our own as your property… especially Kusa and Rain's son Finn… I'm not sure how you found out about Finn being human but many here raised him like their own… I would suggest you try and not push your luck with us since you're VERY far from your home." Sakura said when she and a number of Wood Nymph guards before Grandfather Oak were looking at a large group of Jungle Kingdom warriors, some with Skeletal attributes, and many were behind or next to a woman who looked like a Regal if amazonian looking Queen and next to her was actually a young looking girl around Finn's age while she stands by the older looking woman.
"Now Sakura, must we make things intense? You and I both know our people have no quarrel. I'm just surprised that a human was in ooo. I get that the other kingdoms must not know but why the jungle kingdom? I thought we were allies." The Jungle Queen said.
"We maybe allies and even former romantic partners Giselle, but try and not assume you can talk your way into this easily… I would like to remind you that while we have no quarrel, its because you and your warriors know how strong we wood nymphs are… its why your people come to gain mates… while its true that many would be as your people say… easy lays… and don't even try and lie… you said so yourself once when drunk… Finn is NOT a wood nymph… he is a human… as for why other kingdom's don't know, mainly its a combo of keeping quiet over the years for his own good, and for people we trust… the only reason we didn't get on guard is because were allies Giselle…" Sakura said as Grandfather Oak speaks.
"Sakura… may I speak to Lady Giselle in your place?... I believe I may at the very least make her see reason with some key points of logic that may help her in the long run… also before you say no Lady Giselle… remember I'm as old as the forests of Ooo and my wisdom and roots run deep… you should know that first and foremost… Lord Death is in town with Lady Life and Undeath for Emerald, Finn, and Cedric, so if you cause issues here, it will dishonor you and the Death Clan Lord Death helped make with you and your ancestors… if you want a compromise, have Sakura take Lady Elena to Finn and let them be friends at first… might may make right in your kingdom… but here… we prefer working with nature… however… I do want to make one thing clear before you do send her off…" Grandfather Oak said before he gained a cold look after he looks right at Giselle.
"Considering my roots run even under your kingdom… I may be an old relic as you and your people sometimes call me… but try and harm my daughters, granddaughters, and even great granddaughter nymphs… and you will be dealing with me… you think I would fear Death as well?... He may precede me but I have more ways of dealing with potential traitors in ways that would make even Lord Death's stomach turn so try and not assume you can hide things from me by trying to make Finn breeding stock with other women when he is older… you think the trees would be silent but they communicate easily with me… I know many things… some things many would end me for… so don't think I'm bluffing… Finn is a living being and under MY protection… choose your next words carefully otherwise I'll have Death deal with you later." Grandfather Oak said while he gave a look that promised Giselle and every one of her people would regret pissing Grandfather Oak off by angering him… more so if Finn was involved since he considered Finn like a grandson to him.
Giselle knew that Grandfather Oak was a serious being so she had to be careful.
"Lord Oak, I don't wish for any trouble, I just want to find someone for my daughter. Considering you know everything through the trees, I'll give a royal promise that the boy, Finn, will not be used as a breeding stock when he's older."
Grandfather Oak scoffs a bit.
"Royal Promises… always an issues in how they are done since that upstart Bubblegum has been trying to cause issues with planting electronic bugs and stuff in my trees and in the ground… thankfully I've been able to handle locating all of them plus even the invisible ones she has floating around with my descendants help… I'll accept the promise but know that its Finn's call later on if he wants to even go to your kingdom long term and more and I will be keeping my roots wide just in case… YOU may keep that promise… your people may not… try and remember this Giselle… I maybe an ancient being who can't move… but nature always finds a way no matter how strong you are… all return to mother Earth, the only ones who have dominion over me are Life and Death… and soon they may be very friendly with Finn… so your people better make sure not to cause issues… until then…" Grandfather Oak said before he looks at Sakura.
"Sakura… take Lady Elena to Finn and make sure Lady Elena is protected on the way… may as well meet Giselle halfway and if Finn can't go to her kingdom until he is ready, may as well make sure that Lady Elena is friendly with Finn while she is still young." Grandfather Oak said while Sakura gave a nod before she looks at Elena and approached her and knelt down to look at her eye level.
"I take it given you're not nervous, you are not afraid to come with me right?... it will be a bit before we get to Finn but try and remember you're not in Jungle Kingdom territory child… self defense and even attacking others is fine if you're hunting but trying to force Finn to do something he doesn't want won't be tolerated… am I clear?" Sakura said when she speaks with Elena.
"I understand. Mother warned me to never anger the wood nymphs." Elena said.
"Good… follow me… you can bring a few Death Clan guards to come with us, Lord Death should be meeting with Finn soon so going with a small number given that Finn will be joining Emerald who will be on a date with Lady Undeath, most likely with friends Lady Undeath's age, Finn and more may join in on this date so could be a triple date given that Finn is never far from Emerald and Cedric… depending on things, you may have to plan things right… as a warrior and huntress of the jungle, what is one of the things your mother taught you… especially when it comes to sharing prey?" Sakura said while she smirks at Elena since if Lady Undeath came to Ooo, she would have brought to female friends, one for Finn, the other for Cedric… three if she wanted to round up the numbers… chances are Elena would have to share Finn at least so she wanted Elena to realize that before she left with the Jungle princess.
"She did say that sharing is fun but if your mate has a harem then you have to show that you can be top lady in charge… either by sparring or dominating them in the bedroom." Elena said.
Sakura looks amused.
"Bit rough but learn to read the room before assuming that you can just do that and get away with it… after all what if Finn has a lady who abhors violence and you try and start a fight with her?... would be a bad end for you romance wise with Finn… same can be said with a lady in the bedroom… unless you plan things right, wouldn't be good if you just dominate a woman without context… would be considered rape in that case… and unless its a kink of theirs, would be a bad idea to just do that… read the situation, assess what to do, and act accordingly… adapt and get your prey right where YOU want it and you should get the rest… does that make sense?" Sakura said when she looks at Elena with an amused look.
"Hmmm… kinda does. Can make it a small challenge. No violence needed." Elena said.
"Indeed… unless the harem does something stupid… instead of being number one… you could be the one that many go to that can handle any situation… if you're not number one… be the one who keeps the harem in check and more… who knows… think like this… you maybe a Royal but that won't matter much if no one respects you… be a woman in the future to knock royals around if they cross you in ways you can't forgive… in a nutshell… if the number one lady gets Finn's attention more, then you be the one to knock that lady back to reality if she starts to do something stupid… in a sense… if you're number one… great… if not… make sure the number one lady doesn't fuck the others over by pulling stupid moves themselves." Sakura said as she stands when she got ready to leave with Elena.
"Hmmm…" Elena said as she did look thoughtful while Giselle chuckles.
"Good luck Elena. Be on your best behavior." Giselle said.
"Yes mother." Elena said as she, Sakura, and a number of guards left with them.
This left Giselle with Grandfather Oak who looks at other nymphs.
"Please escort our guests to the Royal inn where they can rest, make sure they are well cared for, Lady Giselle, my apologize for what I said earlier but you should know that I treat Finn like family… if some of my Wood Nymphs came and wanted to get your daughter to breed with Finn when she is older… you and your people would get protective, thats a fact… if it means any consolation… once Sakura is finished escorting your daughter… could have her entertain you since you two are old flames hehe." Grandfather Oak said while he looks amused.
Giselle giggles.
"That would be fun. I do understand of being protective and my people had done questionable acts so I don't blame you for being on guard. Though hopefully we can work something out to make sure our people are still on good terms with each other."
"Oh don't worry, as long as your people stay the way you are, you are good… I trust your people more than those like Bubblegum and her kingdom… her and her drones annoy me…" Grandfather Oak said before sweatdropping and sighing.
Giselle sighs.
"No kidding. Someone needs to tell her to stop all that otherwise karma will get her."
"Least thats the worst she does… for now though please follow these ladies to the Inn… who knows… some of you lucky warriors may get Royal guard women to impress and get lucky." Grandfather Oak said as some shapely and strong Wood Nymph women wink at some of the warriors of the Jungle kingdom who were here.
The warriors did look eager before they and a smirking Giselle follow the guards.
While this happens… the scene went to Finn, Emerald, and Cedric as they start turning a corner.
"And I tell the guy who misunderstood things, I'm not a woman so he got his hand off my butt… honestly… was funny but man I felt embarrassed when I was mistaken for a woman again… mom and day say I look more like mom everyday… more womanly despite my training." Emerald said showing that he was in the middle of a story as Cedric laughs a bit from this.
"Oh man… I hate to be you man." Cedric said as Finn shudders.
"Yeah… if a guy did that to me, I would need to take a cold shower."
"Eh not the worst thing, maybe I should just use a gender swap spell and make it easy to tell my gender apart, Ooo is pretty fluid with gender so not like I would be treated differently even as a woman right?" Emerald said though the trio did jolt when they heard Life's voice.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." Life said.
The trio of boys look to see an amused Life, an amused Death… and Emerald jolts when he saw a young girl around his age with crossed arms, two long snake heads on her shoulders and had a third one that looked to be a bull like head giving her a trio of heads… she had more of Life's look with organic flesh but could alter her form to look like any species… near her was a cute looking girl who looked to be around Emerald, Finn, and Cedric's age… she looked to be a hedgehog humanoid with pink quills wearing a cute looking dress… near her was a similarly aged girl who looked to be an adorable Cat girl with red markings on her black fur… she wore more of a simple Jungle kingdom style outfit given she had fur all over her body… next was more or less seemingly a girl around Finn's age that looked to be a hybrid of a Wood Nymph and a Death Clan member, she had a skeletal head with green energy around it while she had a comically cute skill like look with green dots where her pupils should be… all in all… looks like Life and Death brought with the most likely looking to be their daughter, Undeath's entourage with the three girls with Undeath.
"Whoa." Finn said as he saw the wood nymph hybrid while Cedric…
"Woof woof." He said as he saw the cat girl.
Emerald facepalms at this as the twin headed snake girl with the bull head speaks.
"Pervert." The girl said when she saw Cedric looking at the Cat girl with said cat girl having a calm look on her face despite the pervert claim showing she didn't mind.
"Undeath be nice… this is Emerald's friend Cedric, and the human is Finn… remember?... you promised you wouldn't cause trouble here while on the mortal world." Life said when she gave her daughter a stern look.
"Sorry mother. I just don't like perverts." Undeath said.
"Hey, is it a crime if I'm looking at a cute kitty?" Cedric said.
As a reminder if people forget, the kids were around 8 or so years old so there were no real undertones here in that.
Undeath rolls her eyes as the Cat girl speaks.
"My apologize for Milady here… I am Azure… I am an apprentice torturer in training in the Dead worlds for corrupt and evil souls… I will be learning how to really inflict pain on thoses who truly sinned in life… my mother is a Hell cat from the Nightosphere and my Father is a high ranking worker of Lord Death, you may know him as Charon, the Ferryman of souls… he would be what you would call an ancient being predating even Lord Death so to speak since Lord Death, a Glob, formed after the concept of God's changed… normally Souls get to the Dead worlds and walk to their sorting area, but special souls are taken by my father to more or less be judged by higher ranked beings… mainly the heroic or unique souls that Lady Life and Lord Death mark as to be carefully collected… my father takes pride in his work and never failed Lord Death in sorting a truly unique soul properly… thanks to him and my mother… I have a unique power… two to be exact… one is the ability to control hellfire… I don't burn things… I turn things to ash with cursed fire… and my other ability is Soul carrying… any souls I see I can send to the dead world if they are not in the dead world already… my power is weak compared to my fathers but Lady Life and Lord Death says if I train well, I can take over for my father or work with him in the future in ferrying unique souls." the now identified Azure said in a mannered way as she looks at the three boys.
She did nod to Emerald.
"Lord Emerald… its been awhile…" Azure said like she knew Emerald a bit… guess being in the dead world he met her once or twice in the past with Emerald's own training.
Cedric looks at Emerald.
"Dude?… how can you not tell me you knew this cutie. I do like a strong woman."
"First off boy… try and not act mature for your age… second, Charon would personally come and knock you upside the head with his paddle he uses to beat souls with who try and force their way onto his boat… and he plays nice with them… Emerald doesn't mention much of his training or the people he met because the LIVING normally don't have ways to get to the dead worlds… not unless they are dead or take unique ways to get there… Emerald is unique in that he is half living, half dead thanks to Life and I so he can come and go as he pleases… you… unless it's your time boy, I highly suggest not trying to come to the dead worlds unless you're older… the dead world does not react well to the living… flesh craving skeletons would be the least of your worries if you tried to visit Azure there…" Death said while he looks down on Cedric… not in an insulting way but again… Cedric was 8 or so… and Death towered over him by many times from how short Cedric was.
"Um right." Cedric said but has a thought.
'Damn… always a set back… maybe I should find a book or be a Necromancer.'
"Dude… don't even think it… if that look on your face is any indicator, I'll try and talk with Lady Life and Lord Death lady on if I can get a plus one pass so the more hostile beings in the Dead world ignore you… I know Azure is cute and all but try and not do anything stupid otherwise I'll have to explain to your mom and dad in how YOU died in the dead world…" Emerald said when he gave Cedric a half lidded look as Azure looks amused this time.
"Well I guess its a good thing that Lady Life and Lord Death helped bring us here… Lady Undeath here when she heard about your friends Lord Emerald… well… she did want to make this a triple date of sorts… if this wolf here is interested in wowing me… may as well give him a chance… if he impresses me enough… I may visit him and not the other way around." Azure said when she had crossed arms as she looks at Cedric with an amused look.
Cedric's eye sparkled as his tail wagged in excitement.
Finn did sweatdrop from that before looking at the wood nymph hybrid.
"So what's your name? I'm Finn."
The Hybrid wood nymph was silent… before she looks from Finn with a blush… and her skull's energy glows pink as Life giggles.
"Sorry about her… her name is more or less named after the technique the Jungle people are using more and more nowadays… her name is Aura, her energy around her skull shows her emotions and right now she is a bit shy… guess she thinks your cute." Life said while she smiles at Finn kindly.
Finn blinks a bit when he heard that.
"I-I see… nice to meet you. Cute name."
Aura blushed more as her energy on her head flared as Life giggles and gave Death a thumbs up as Emerald looks at Undeath.
"So… Lady Undeath… how are you doing?" Emerald asked while Undeath ignored him and Emerald blushed as he rubs his head.
"H-How… are you doing… Un…" Emerald said while he used Undeath's nickname instead of titles with Undeath.
This time she looks at Emerald.
"Doing fine." Un said.
Emerald rubs his head before he looks to the cute looking hedgehog humanoid.
"So… I think this is the first time we met… nice to meet you… I'm Emerald… your Maite the Judge's daughter right?" Emerald asked while he approached Maite to shake her hand.
Maite smiles.
"That's correct. Nice to meet you."
"You know I'm curious, is it true you know both holy and Necromatic magic from your mother?" Emerald asked as Maite smiles and well… she lifts her hand and summoned a large glowing with a holy light warhammer and used a spell to summoned a skeletal minion… one that looked jacked as hell, tall as Death, and looked much buffer then him making Emerald, Finn, and Cedric's eye widen from the sudden summons while gawking at Maite's skills.
"Whoa!" The trio said with surprise looks.
Un looks amused by this.
"Hehe… if you think thats impressive, thats nothing on her large scale attacks… well… also her cooking as well since its top tier… she trained with many ghostly chefs so she can cook any meal I desire." Undeath said while she sounds smug.
"Uhhh… why are you boasting about Maite's skills?" Emerald said while he looks bewildered.
Cedric and Finn smirks.
"Dude… I think she's trying to put in a good word of Maite to you. Do I detect future girlfriend number two Finn?"
"Hehe… yeah… a pretty strong one at that." Finn said as Emerald had shadows covering his eyes.
"You two… first off… your before Lord Death and Lady Life… second… considering you two were told about me being a Fiance to Un here… I don't think she would like it if I cheat on her and finally… given how popular Maite is with other kids in the dead world… you think I would have a chance with her given how little we met?... today is the longest conversation we have had… I wish your souls luck if you anger Lord Death on the insinuation I would cheat on Un." Emerald said while he gave Finn and Cedric half lidded looks.
The duo jolts.
"E-Easy man. That's not what we're saying." Cedric said.
Death looks amused.
"Hey its one thing if Emerald cheated on my baby girl… its another if she takes after Life and I and wants to make a harem and reverse harem… try and be careful though… she may try and make you two friends of Emerald her plaything when she is older if she is anything like her mother." Death said with an amused look as Emerald blinks in shock that DEATH of all beings said that.
Life giggles.
"It's true. So better watch out." She said making Finn and Cedric gulp.
"Okay… we're definitely shutting up." Finn said.
"Good… anyway Maite is willing to go on a date with Emerald with me here…" Un said while she smirks with her three heads though they heard a voice.
"Well Miladies and lords… mind if Finn has a plus one join in since it looks like he has an interesting lady on one arm already?" A voice said making many look to see Sakura, some Death clan guards, and Elena.
Finn blinks a bit.
"Sakura?… what's going on and… who are these guys with you?"
Death looks amused now.
"My descendants… Death Clan members… Aura is a relative of mine who may as well be a great grand daughter… consider me like Grandfather Oak with the Wood Nymphs, and me with Jungle Kingdom warriors with skeletal attributes on them… its a long story but I would get lucky with the princess of the Jungle Kingdom on their 18th birthday and they would birth an heir for me so to speak… they get taken into the Death Clan and raised by the people there… its a long story but thanks to that, the Kingdom is unmatched with Shamanistic magic for controlling and summoning spirits." Death explained while he looks amused.
Cedric and Finn were surprised.
"Eh?!" They said before looking at Aura as they couldn't believe she's related to Death.
"Oh its true… sometimes I see Death Clan warrior families in the Dead worlds… mainly when a Death Clan member dies and leaves the mortal world, they get high ranking jobs in the Dead world so they don't let their skills rust… they have the option later to reincarnate but most times Death Clan members work to help the natural born residences of the Dead worlds with their work… mainly if Grandfather Oak is the progenitor of Wood based beings, Lord Death is the Progenetor of Dead world warriors and shamans for the living and dead worlds… honestly their skills with undead based magic may as well be unmatched… granted they can't use a skill living beings in the Jungle Kingdom and some others who take the time to learn the skill called Aura… being technically undead beings on Ooo, but their natural strength and skills would be far above what most here can do… I bet Aura could kick mine, Finn, and Cedric's collective asses if we underestimate her since even when shy… she hasn't let her guard down around us." Emerald said while he had a serious look on his face.
Cedric and Finn jolt at that last part.
"Right… and what's with the jungle girl?" Cedric said before Sakura spoke up.
"This is Elena, Princess of the Jungle Kingdom."
This surprised a few as Death looks amused.
"Hooo?... Giselle's kid huh?... Must say she looks good so far, she should look like a knock out when she is fully mature…" Death said before he looks at Finn.
"Given things… chances are she maybe here for you or Cedric boy… try and be respectful since the Jungle kingdom is allies with the Wood Nymphs… granted they don't bow down to the Jungle kingdom for many reasons but try and not anger a future Queen to be." Death said while he looks at Finn seriously since in the future, Death would be making sure the deal between the Jungle Kingdom and himself sticks during the once a generation Festival of the Dead and didn't want Finn or Cedric to screw that up with their usual antics.
Said duo gulp at the thought as Elena approaches Finn.
"So you're the human I've heard about… cute." She said.
Finn blushed at this as Elena starts poking Finn's body while she hums occasionally.
"Uhhh… what are you doing?" Emerald asked as Elena stands.
"Bit on the weak side though… you may need work if I plan to come here and try and date you occasionally…" Elena said while she rubs her chin.
"Wait what?" Finn said making Cedric chuckle.
"Well dang, looks like Emerald won't be the only one with two ladies."
Undeath rubs her chin.
"Hmmm… you're right… hey Maite is your cousin Rachel available?" Undeath said when she looks at Maite.
Maite smirks as she knew what Undeath was trying to do.
"I will have to check."
After a quick call and stuff while Cedric looks confused… comically the ground rumbles and from Under Cedric… a coffin of all things was seen rising from the ground making him nearly fall off as the coffin opens to show a girl looking similar to Maite with blue highlights in her quills being seen… she looked more… undead with a dark black eye that glows with an etherial light as she opens them and smiles.
"Hey Maite… you called me because of a cute boy?, where is he?" the girl said as she held her arms out as she steps out… this comically caused Cedric to fall off the coffin with a yelp as he lands in the girls arms as Maite smirks.
"Rachel… meet Cedric… Cedric… meet my undead cousin Rachel… her mother is a relative of Charon's and her dad is a Vampire of sorts… well… high level Zombie now after being staked and lost the Vampire state so became a full on zombie named Zed again but point is… Rachel is a tough Zombie girl, she gets knocked apart sometimes but can pull herself back together easily… she hangs out with other zombies sometimes but Rachel has more intelligence as you can see." Maite said while she smiles as Rachel looks at Cedric in her arms with an amused look since Cedric was in the bridal style position right now.
Cedric blushes at the position as Finn tries to not snicker.
"Um… hello." Cedric said.
"Hehe… hey there… Maite said you looked cute but you're more on the handsome side… always was curious on what a wolf man was like… though given you're on my age, may as well be a cute puppy boy… can't wait to see what you look like later." Rachel said when she smirks at Cedric.
Cedric blushes as Sakura looks amuse.
"Looks like I'll have to tell Emelina about her son's future brides."
"Unless we find other ladies in the future… so I guess its the three of us guys against the 6 girls here in odd double on solo dates?" Emerald said while Un smirks.
"Well either that or we can swap dates every now and then to keep things fresh… either way I don't know much about Ooo, same with Maite and the other girls here so need you boys to be the tour guides and stuff." Un said while she looks at the three boys with amused looks.
Finn rubs his head.
"Well… we'll do our best to show you ladies around."
"Yeah… we need to get Finn a disguise though since outside of the forest, Finn is forbidden to show his real self and stuff… being human and all that." Emerald said while he looks at the others… they go to other kingdoms, Finn would be one hell of a sight given he is a human kid.
"Yeah. Would be terrible if our friend was caught." Cedric said as Rachel puts him down.
"Well we can't have that." Rachel said.
"Well good thing I got magic for this… would be temporary but… how would you feel to be a skeleton Finn?" Emerald said while he looks at Finn as his hand glows with magic.
"W-What?! I don't want to die!" Finn said.
"What?... no it's an invisibility spell for flesh, mainly used it to prank Cedric once and was handy to make myself look dead when I was being chased by wild animals who left my bones alone." Emerald said while he gave Finn a half lidded look.
Finn felt embarrassed from that.
"Sorry… let's go with that."
"Right… anyway ladies may want to close your eyes and Lord Death and Cedric, you better do the same, pretty bright spell when used fast like a flashbang." Emerald said when he charged his hand with magic as he got ready to cast the spell.
Everyone else shielded their eyes as they wait for Emerald to do his stuff.
A moment later he blasts Finn with the magic and he gave a girlish scream as he felt the spell hit him… well in no time, Finn stands there with his clothing and his mask on… oddly floating over his skeleton a bit but he now had a fully visible skeleton instead of flesh and stuff… all in all… his skeleton didn't look bad if he was a fully animated undead with floating enchantments on his clothing and stuff.
Finn took a look at his skeletal body.
"Good glob." He said.
"Hey to be fair, you have a good skeleton." Emerald said while he sweatdrops when Cedric licks his maw.
"Maybe too good." Emerald said when Cedric's stomach comically growls making Finn jolt and hide behind Emerald.
"C-Cedric… don't think of eating me." Finn said.
"Don't worry… once we get a meal in him, doubt he would think of trying to eat your bones." Emerald said while he looks at the 6 girls near him.
"Guess it date in triple for us… if Lady Life and Lord Death are OK, I'll teleport us to the Candy Kingdom… issues aside when it comes to sweets and meats, that kingdom can't be beat… Candy is made fresh there and meats are imported from the Breakfast Kingdom so their food is top tier." Emerald said when he picked the place for them to go now that Finn was disguised properly.
"Hmmm… I can allow it." Death said.
"Indeed… take this though for just in case… especially for Finn here." Life said when she passed Finn some kind of item with a button on it.
"Before you ask Finn, its a summoning item made for high ranking workers of the Dead world… this is Lady Life's summoning button, try and not press it and say that it was an accident… its in a case after all that you can see… I got Lady Life, Lord Death, and Un on speed dial so I don't need that… I got Lord Death's summoning button equivalent stored just in case though." Emerald said while the summoning button was in a case so Finn could pocket it.
"I-I see… I'll make sure it be only for a real emergency." Finn said.
"Good… oh and don't worry Finn if Rain or Kusa call you, I'll go to them and explain things and help Rain and Kusa a bit… Kusa is doing well since she was impregnated by Rain, while it will take time, she will be having a healthy Wood nymph sister for you to dote on and protect… consider it a Life guarantee that she will be healthy." Life said while she winks at Finn.
Deep down Finn was happy to be having a sister.
"Well that's good." Finn said.
"Nice indeed… for now we should get going, wish us luck Lady Life and Lord Death… I'll make sure Un here doesn't get in trouble or cause trouble." Emerald said as he had a hand glow as a magical circle formed around the kids as Emerald got ready to transport himself and the others to the Candy Kingdom.
"Indeed Lady Life, I'll make sure she stays put." Maite said.
"Hey!" Un said while she stomps her foot, but before she could say anything else, the group of kids teleport leaving the adults alone as Sakura looks at the two Globs and the Death clan guards.
"I'll be returning to Grandfather Oak to make sure he stays safe unless any of you require me." Sakura said while she looks at the two deities mainly.
"Hehe, like we'll let anything bad happen." Death said.
"Indeed… though considering the definition of bad… you may want to make sure Deathy here doesn't risk impregnating Jungle Kingdom women again if some are at a nearby Inn… may let Deathy have fun but I rarely let him knock up women not of the Royal line unless they impress me…" Life said with a smirk when she knew what Death would do later making him jolt.
"Oh come on Lifey." Death said.
"Hey… I'm just saying… you risk knocking up a woman again without my OK… may let Emerald do the honors once he is 18… may even tag team with Un later to really get things intense… word of warning for you to use protection or preventions before you break in Jungle Kingdom women hehe…" Life said with an amused look on her two snake faces while she had crossed arms.
Death jolts the second he heard that.
"Okay okay… I'll make sure not to knock up any females."
"Good… just know that I'll know if accidents happen as well… better make sure to make yourself infertile otherwise I may as well make a good impression on our soon to be in law once Emerald marries Un years from now… given the crush she has… doubt she would let one or two setbacks stop her from impressing him… now if you'll excuse me, I need to check in on Kusa and Rain." Life said while she starts walking away while many could see Life's ass swaying teasingly before many in her dress.
Death did like the sight but…
'Dammit… now I gotta be extra careful or else face a bad nightmare.' He thought.
Still he could risk dealing with that later… as Death followed his decendants with Sakura to an Inn… the scene went to Emerald and the others as he teleports the group a bit away from the Candy Kingdom but would be a good minute of walking to get to the front gate so not too far…
"Hey how come we don't just teleport in the city or to the front gate directly?" Un said with a raised eyebrow as Emerald held up three fingers.
"First off… mainly for the safety of people around us and our group ourselves… this is to prevent gory messes… I mean if you were in town and some dumbass tried to teleport where you are… well… two objects cannot exist in one place and worst comes to worst… yeah… one of the people trying to take the spot got to give and there is either a serious vore moment with you barely holding onto life as your carted to the hospital… or just flat out dead when your exploded magically from the inside out with your guts and stuff splashing everywhere… kind of a rule with this magic for all Wizards mad or not to well… not be literal bombs inside of people." Emerald said while he went over the first reason.
"Good grief… that's gruesome." Cedric said.
"Yeah. I mean what's next, you get scared and explode?" Finn said.
"No… be glad you're not candy people… thats what they do so its doubly enforced for Wizards and others who teleport not to just show up randomly… Cedric can vouch that he and I saw a Candy person get scared of a butterfly… swelled and exploded… wasn't pretty." Emerald said while he looks downcast from the memory.
"Yeah… it's true." Cedric said as he shudders at the memory.
"Yeah… least its not the second one… getting stuck in a wall is a nightmare… thankfully I never did that and saw some guys get stuck head first in walls and suffocated or just flat out get cut in half since matter getting mixed does not bode well…" Emerald said going over the second reason as well…
"Okay… let's not talk about any more gruesome stuff for today." Maite said.
"One more thing actually… and its less gruesome… mainly its a safety thing to prevent the first two… teleporting into a City is more or less a crime unless its in emergency in special areas or during times of danger… so Un in this case its for everyone's safety and to prevent us from being wanted by Banana guards… guys maybe a sharp as pillows but do try and follow orders to arrest any criminals despite how incompitent they are." Emerald said while he shakes his head when he remembered a Banana guard walking into a wall when told to do so one time.
Undeath was quiet.
"For you… I'll do that." She said.
Emerald rubs his head from this.
"Well to be fair I got us close… come on… I know a few locations we can get to that owe me so we would get free meals… I repaired some shops with magic and I know the owners." Emerald said while he smiles at the others cutely.
Undeath blushes from that as Cedric grins.
"Nice. Can't wait for some good grub."
"Well better get ready Cedric, same with you Finn, its a place Marceline worked to get working in the Kingdom so she could help people get used to demons, should allow us to walk in without many issues… I mean sure we're kids but given I'm friends with the owner's daughter, we can get in a child friendly area so we can eat and stuff… follow me." Emerald said while he gestures for the group to follow as they enter the Candy Kingdom officially.
The rest of the group felt intrigued after hearing that as they follow Emerald.
As they follow, they avoid people in the way as the follow Emerald oddly enough to the bad part of town… mainly where the punks and goons of the Candy Kingdom go… this made a few of the kids nervous but followed Emerald when he walked by some areas and… down to an alleyway?
"Uhhh… Emerald?... where are we?" Finn asked while he looks around curiously.
"Simple… disguised back entrance… give me a second." Emerald said as he raised a hand and knocked on some of the bricks in a certain order and in no time after hearing footsteps… an image fades and a fancy looking door appeared… similar to how Wizard City had the Wizards Rule thing hiding their City from view… in no time… the group saw the door open and while well dressed… the group had wide eyes minus Emerald when they saw the bustiest woman they ever with F to G cup breasts and they saw with the biggest bubblebutt ass ever barely being hidden by the dress while she had demonic wings, long brown hair, and a tail with a heart on the end as Emerald smiles at her.
"Hey Lady Serina, I'm here to cash in that favor with a couple dates of mine and more…" Emerald said while he looks at the Demonic woman who exuded an air of magical authority.
Finn and Cedric really blush brightly at the woman as Serina picks up Emerald.
"Emerald so good to see you." She said before hugging him.
Emerald purrs from this when he felt his head being scratched as well.
"Nice to see you again… hopefully that seal I fixed for you when you were sick that one time is holding up, anyway if you are reading our minds already, mind if we can come in?... is Lillum here?... heard she turned 8 recently so figured I could invite her to eat with us and be friends with many here." Emerald said while he relaxed against Serina's breasts when he knew fighting her hug was hopeless.
Finn blinks a bit.
"Who's Lillum?" He said.
Serina smiles when she looks at the group.
"She is my daughter human… don't worry… I know how to keep a secret, same with my workers here… I'm Serina… I'm a Succubus Queen who occasionally comes here to the mortal world to help a friend of mine run this restaurant… normally its a more… adult oriented area… since many here are Succubuses and Incubuses… I'll explain more when your older but we do have a large area where you kids can eat, play, and more here and when your finished I can escort you out through the back… were still working on a side entrance for families here so I told Emerald if he brought friends, he can bring them from this entrance here." Serina said while she smiles at the group of kids as she made Emerald purr more when she scratched him behind the ears more as she held him in one arm.
"I see… well nice to meet you." Rachel said.
"Thank you, please follow me and I'll show you the VIP area… also Emerald the seal is going strong, had to have my husband fine tune it for durability but he thanks you for the help, also Rachel… yes I am very pretty, can show you some tips if you want to wow this cutie Cedric here… definitely a catch if he turns out anything like his father…" Serina said when she winked at Rachel.
Rachel did giggle as Cedric blushes at the compliment.
"Sounds like a good plan." Rachel said.
"Indeed… and don't worry Lady Undeath… I won't steal your boyfriend from you… he isn't 18 yet and my daughter may want a crack at him first to date hehe." Serina said when she smirks at Undeath teasingly.
Undeath blushes from the tease.
"I-I see…" She said but tries not to be jealous at the thought.
Serina giggles as she carries Emerald inside as everyone entered… to their surprise it looks like a simple looking home.
"Welcome to my home by the way… the door you entered is a special teleporter that I set up so that people can go from the human world to the Nightosphere, we will be taking a roundabout way to get to the restaurants lower level for the VIP area for children… try and not jump the food by the way Finn… Cedric… it maybe good but given the imagination in your heads… its not an all you can eat buffet… its a classy place fit for Royalty… though unlike some restaurants… we do cater to the orders so if you want a steak… expect big juicy ones… not oddly thin ones… they are good but… too tough… I prefer the thick kind of meat then thin." Serina said and given she was a Succubus… that joke would make some blush but since they were kids… went over their heads as they follow her innocently… well… aside Elena given she was given more details on sex and stuff in the past.
As they got to another door… the group entered a large restaurant looking area after Serina opens a double door large door with her magic and the group saw a place fit for Royalty with many kids around here and there enjoying food, drinks, and various games galore.
"Say hello to the VIP area… many kids around your age are here, many either of noble birth or related to Royals… you may recognize some… in fact Lady Marceline and Lady Bubblegum's child, Lady Dawn, named for Marceline's mother by the way to some of you who are confused, is here… she hangs with Lillum sometimes… most times if you see a child here, the parents are in the upper floors enjoying the VIP treatment for adults upstairs… thats something for you kids to not worry about now until 10 years pass though so what do you think?" Serina said when she turned to the others with a kind smile… many Succubuses and Incubuses in modest attire for the kids sake walked around and helped take orders, some even helped feed the younger kids when they had trouble eating… honestly was surprisingly homie and kid friendly sense this placed looked like the classiest restaurant for kids.
Cedric whistles.
"Nice place." He said.
"Indeed… I've seen many places in the dead world but this place tops them… and I've dined with 5 Star chefs with my parents sometimes." Azure said when she looks genuinely surprised.
"Hehe thank you… my husband and I helped fun various projects and hopefully in a few years Succubi and Incubi can come to Ooo and not need contracts if some projects work… to explain children, a contract is a binding vow to a demon… in order for a summoner to summon a Succubus or Incubus, one needs to have a magical aptitude like Emerald here, ingredients, various prep work, and much more to summon a demon… I'll leave out the finer details but you need to make 3 deals and the Succubus or Incubus makes counter offers… once all three are met, the contract is sealed and until the Summoner lets the demon go, the contract is for life…. Well… mortal life… being as old as I am, I've been with hundreds of contractors." Serina said as Emerald looks at her.
"But Lady Serina… you don't look a day over 26… would go younger but that would make me question if Lillum was made after you turned 18 hehe." Emerald said while he chuckles at Serina.
"Aww how sweet." Serina said before petting Emerald's head.
Emerald purrs more from this before he was set on his feet.
"I'll go and get Lillum, in the meantime…" Serina said before she looks at a free Waitress.
"You… take these children to one of the better tables… this cute kitty is the one Lillum favors so try and not be rude… your thoughts are open to me like books…" Serina said when she frowns at the Succubus when she got thoughts from the Succubus on Finn, Cedric, and Rachels looks and while Serina quickly recovered so the kids wouldn't notice, the Waitress did.
The waitress jolts.
"Y-Yes My lady."
Serina smiles as she walked away which left the Waitress with the group as Emerald looks up at the Waitress.
"Sorry if kids gave you a hard time Miss, Lady Serina is just being protective because I'm friends with Lillum… try and not worry since if you forced yourself to act nice, would make us feel bad." Emerald said while he smiles adorably at the waitress.
The waitress blushes from that.
"Well thanks. Follow me please."
As they follow the Waitress, Cedric looks at Finn.
"Maybe we should try and act like Emerald since he seems to get ladies to dote on him… probably from the cuteness he has… if you were not in disguise, bet some ladies would be doting on you huh Finn?" Cedric said lowly so no one would hear what Cedric said as he nudged Finn lightly.
Finn blushes a bit.
"Maybe… but problem is… if they knew what I really am will be trouble."
As Finn worries more… the group came to a large table with magical stools moving to help get the kids get in the chairs… in no time the Waitress took the kids orders and after she left, Emerald looks at the group while Maite and Undeath sat to his sides.
"So… what do you think?... pretty classy but after we eat may not get the same level once we leave to do other things… not much gold on me… thanks to Finn… kind of lost my allowance for a couple weeks and my gold was confiscated for that time as well… long story… don't let Finn ANYWHERE near treasure when we're so close to getting it… nearly got ran over by a boulder…" Emerald said while he sighs… seems even when not in trouble… consequences for some actions were hitting the kids now.
"Yeah…" Cedric said.
"Hey I said I was sorry." Finn.
"When we get our allowance back, we'll forgive you." Cedric said.
"Well least if we play our cards right, can get free to go boxes… if we work well… can get our parents to give our allowance back… if not… well… food for us." Emerald said as the group heard a voice.
"Emy!" A chipper female voice said as a little girl Succubus flew to the group and nearly knocked Emerald off his chair as she hugs his neck… she looked even cuter then Emerald while she had a regal cute outfit while she floats in the air while she had a heart bit on a long demonic tail.
"L-Lillum!... e-easy!" Emerald said before he rightened himself in his seat and sighs in relief.
Finn and Cedric blinks at this as Rachel smirks.
"So you're Lillum? Serina's daughter?"
The Little girl Succubus, Lillum looks at Rachel.
"Hehe yup!... Mom told me Emerald was here, so I came to say hi, must say didn't expect Emerald to be on a date with so many… and a couple cute boys as well… wait… are you bi Emerald?" Lillum said making Emerald jolt as he looks at her.
"N-No!... its a triple date of sorts… read my mind if you assume I swing both ways." Emerald said while he looks at Lillum.
Lillum did read his mind for a moment.
"Ah… my mistake. Still nice to see new faces."
"Y-Yeah… nice to meet you." Finn said as he rubs his head when he wondered what Lillum imagined to assume that Emerald was dating everyone at the table.
"Same." Cedric said as he didn't know why Lillum thought of that.
Giggling was heard as Serina appeared.
"Sorry for Lillum everyone… she has an active imagination… sometimes too much… handy with spell learning and more… but… lets her fantasies get a bit too wild…" Serina said when she looks at Lillum and gave her a mental message to let Emerald go since she was in public right now.
Lillum pouts as she lets Emerald go.
"No worries. Was a bit funny." Maite said.
"Hehe, yeah, want to join us Lillum?, getting free food since Emerald helped your mom before and stuff." Elena said when she smiles at Lillum.
"Free food and Emy… Sure!" Lillum said.
"Now now Lillum, the food maybe free but with so many I may have to draw the line since it would be a large sink in our profits." Serina said as Emerald looks at her.
"What if I help out occasionally with some things in the kitchen and stuff when I'm free?... could make up for Lillum joining us and stuff… I'm… kind of broke… you probably knew that already because of reading my mind right?..." Emerald said while he rubs his head… right before he moved to hold his menu and gave Serina the most adorable begging eyes. (Think puss in boots level cute begging look from Shrek 2 to get a general idea.)
Serina knew that resisting was futile.
"Well… with a face like that… hard to say no."
Emerald smiles at this while the group waits for their food while Lillum got a chair which was funnily enough between Emerald and Maite since she didn't want to anger Undeath since she was a Glob's child.
Finn was between Elena and Aura while Cedric was between Azure and Rachel.
In no time the group got their food… as they ate… nearby… a girl around the groups age was looking on the group in the distance as she floats in the air… she had a mix of a punk rock look with a long skirt… she had a pink and black theme… with… some kind of goggles on her face… she looks confused though as she lifts and lowered them while looking at the group… mainly looking at Finn for some reason on the lifts and lowering the goggles part…
'Weird… this kid's a skeleton but with the goggles… different.' She thought.
As she looks at the group more… she could also see odd looking about Emerald as well… like… his presence was there without the goggles on… but with them on… it was like he was barely even there… honestly Cedric looks like the only normal boy there…
'Hmmm… unless the goggles are on the fritz, mom may need to know about this.' The girl thought.
She then moved to pull out a Phone from a pocket in her skirt and starts to make a call… in no time…
"Hello?... Dawn?... is something wrong in the kid section of the restaurant?" A voice said showing that whoever was on the other end was either Marceline or Bubblegum since the voice was hard to hear… most likely Bubblegum if Dawn was calling about tech.
"Hey mom, everything is fine though I found a couple of odd kids with the goggles you made." Dawn said as she explained things.
"Wait… Goggles… Dawn… did you steal my experimental stuff again?" Bubblegum said when she sounds irritated on her end.
"Um… wouldn't say steal. I was gonna bring it back. Thought I help test things for you. Anyway, I used them and I saw this one kid… looks feminine but definitely a boy. When I put on the goggles, he wasn't there for some reason. Then there's this kid skeleton. Looked normal but when I put on the goggles again… different." Dawn said.
Bubblegum on her end blinks a few times.
"A feminine kid?... and when you put the Goggles on he wasn't there and you see a skeleton kid who looks like a skeleton without them and he looks different when they were put on?" Bubblegum asked while she sounds curious now.
"Yeah… two theories… either the googles are on the frits or… there's more to the two dudes. Not sure on the cat dude but the skeleton kid… I think he could be in disguise via magic." Dawn said.
"Disquise?... why would he be hiding his looks?... does he look like he is older than the others and could be an adult?... ohh I'll make that pervert pay!" Bubblegum said on her end before she hung up when she ROYALLY misunderstood what Dawn meant… uh oh…
Dawn blinks.
"Uh oh." She said before she tries to call back her candy mom.
Unfortunately it seems like she wasn't answering… this was bad… VERY very bad… hopefully she can call her Vampire mom… she should be either with Bubblegum or at a concert nearby… the main reason why Dawn was here was to hang out with Lillum… and she may have unintentionally opened pandora's fly with Bubblegum getting the worst of ideas thanks to the goggles Dawn swiped.
As Dawn tries to call her other mom, Cedric, who was able to see her from a far, was confused.
"Hey guys, something is wrong with that girl over there. I think she was looking at us earlier."
As Lillum looks over, she blinks at who Cedric was looking at.
"Oh thats Dawn, wonder what got her upset." Lillum said though… the doors to the VIP kid section opened and a couple highly armored Banana guards ran in and while many were off guard, Finn was suddenly picked up by one arm.
"Got you pervert!... our coming with us!" One guard said as Finn's other arm was grabbed.
"Yeah!... pervs like you belong in jail!" The other Banana guard said and before anyone could say anything for a moment, Finn was carried by the guards in a rush out of the room… this got Emerald and Cedric wide eyes when they saw this and moved to give chase while Emerald and Cedric looked pissed for many reasons as the two followed the guards out of the building… this got Serina to narrow her eyes and she looks at her daughter.
"Lillum… be a sweetie and handle talking with the waitress… may as well have all the food to go… I have… issues to handle since those two may have misunderstood something with that nice boy Finn." Serina said while Lillum gulps as her mother emits a LOT of anger now..
Lillum nods her head meanwhile…
Emerald and Cedric were in hot pursuit.
"Hey! You idiots better let go of our friend or else!" Cedric said.
"At ease Citizen!, will will be taking this pervert to the dungeon!... at worst we may just execute him!... orders from the princess so this is a legal arrest!" One guard said before he held up an orb.
"Just in case… SMOKEBOMB!" The guard said as the guard threw down the smokebomb and Emerald and Cedric start coughing from this sudden move as the Guards used jet boots to fly away with Finn.
Finn had to act fast, that's when he took out a bottle of water for some reason with a quick spell since his hands were bound to his side, took a drink barely.
That's when the scared human took a deep breath and made a big loud shriek in the air.
This made Emerald and Cedric widen their eyes as they used their senses to locate Finn since their sight was blocked and Cedric grabbed Emerald and threw him hard towards the source… as Emerald flew through the air, he opened his eyes and looks pissed as he moved to tackle the guards when he used magic to make a double of himself and another to grab Finn… this results in the guards crashing HARD into the ground while Cedric ran to Emerald and Finn as Emerald lands while he used a spell to break Finn and Emerald's fall as the guards groan while they got up after Emerald's magic doubles vanished.
"U-Ugh… OK were making an arrest for three now!... not sure why you kids want to protect that pervert but if he has you under some kind of threat do not worry!" The first guard said royally confusing the trio… but seems they knew that there was some kind of misunderstanding now.
"Hold on… what do you mean by pervert?... first off Finn here is a skeleton… and a pint sized one… pretty sure if he had undertones… pretty sure he wouldn't be able to do much since he is nothing but bones… ever think on that?" Emerald said when he tried to use the Banana guards dimness to gain info though… to his surprise he saw Bubblegum appear from around a corner while she looks seriously at the trio.
"Not what my Goggles saw… Dawn contacted me and told me everything, may need work since the goggles didn't see you much Emerald… heard about you from Marceline and saw you occasionally here… but my Goggles showed this… Skeleton… as someone else entirely… given he most likely is tricking you, try and just let him go so my guards and I can deal with him." Bubblegum said making Emerald's eyes widen in surprise when he got what was going on now.
"Are you… Lady Bubblegum with all due respect… and to your daughter… but… are you two idiots!?" Emerald said with a royally shocked look when he couldn't believe what he just heard just now from Bubblegum of ALL women… and coming from a smartish if still an 8 year old kid… that was all kinds of surprising.
Bubblegum was now mad and would've said something but…
"Mom stop!… this is a BIG misunderstanding!" Dawn said as she was able to find the commotion.
This also got others to come after them like Serina and those like Undeath and the others… Lillum was left behind to handle the to go boxes as Bubblegum crossed her arms.
"What is there to misunderstand young lady… you took special goggles I made without permission, used them, and saw that this so called Skeleton is not what he seems, and Emerald here doesn't seem to exist… given his condition I can get why since he seems to be between life and Death right now given what I heard from some rumors… but what can you say that can tell me that this Skeleton is not some kind of pervert in disguise trying to get near kids?" Bubblegum said as Serina sighs.
"First off Bubblegum… issues with magic aside… you had no right sending guards into MY restaurant… not without a warrant… its even in your own laws to prevent you from misusing your own power so your not above that… second… you think my own guards, my own Succubuses and Incubuses would allow ANY kind of harm to children?... I know you have issues with magic but I would suggest you speak your next words carefully otherwise I'll have to speak with Marceline on why I closed the Candy Kingdom branch for the restaurant called the Mystic branch because of you insinuating my people would allow sick perverts to get by my guards who prevent stuff like that…" Serina said while she looks calm but the look in her eyes showed raw anger.
Dawn looks at her mom.
"Mom… she's serious also, I never said he was a man disguised as a kid."
Bubblegum, though a bit surprised, did narrow her eyes at Dawn.
"You never said anything like that exactly… you just said that he looked different Dawn… how else am I supposed to assume is a child sized Skeleton is in some kind of disguise?" Bubblegum countered… she did have a point… pranks would be pranks but a disguise used in a Kid friendly area would bring up many warning bells if you think about it… more so since Dawn was there so Bubblegum was probably worried as Emerald growls and shockingly say this.
"OK… fuck this… if this isn't an emergency since we can't tell you who Finn really is…" Emerald said as he pulls out Death's call button.
"I'll let Lord Death speak to you about this and Marceline in private… more so since I wouldn't trust you to remain calm after what just happened." Emerald said as he pressed the button in his hand…
"You rang kid?" Death said as he walked from around a corner surprising many Emerald actually used the button he had.
"Yeah… need your help lord Death… I can explain later but can you convince Lady Bubblegum here to get her guards off us so we can talk in private with her… I would go with her but right now… I'm a bit… aggravated… more so since my date with your daughter and Finn and Cedric's date was rudely interrupted by her." Emerald said while his eyes momentarily flashed white from his anger spiking while he tried to remain calm.
"I see… leave it to me kid." Death said as he was now not amused.
Comically enough…
"Hey whats going on and… OK why are there so many people here and why does Death look pissed?" A female voice said making them look to see Marceline Abadeer herself wearing sun gear while she floats in the air… just to point out Dawn was half Vampire so she doesn't have protective gear being half Gum person.
Dawn cringes a bit.
"Well mom… because of me and… mom flying off the handle… situation got bad." She said.
Marceline on her end looks at the group and facepalms lightly not to break her mask.
"I leave for two days… and chaos fills the streets…" Marceline said as she looks at Bubblegum's guards.
"You two… leave… NOW…" Marceline ordered since she was technically Queen consort of the Candy Kingdom so she could order the guards around.
The two guards jolts before they quickly leave.
Marceline then looks at Dawn.
"You young lady will be explaining your side of things later… as for you Bonnie… mind explaining from the top otherwise don't expect ANY sex from me for a week straight since Serina looks pissed and we have litteral DEATH hanging over our heads looking angry himself." Marceline said while she crossed her arms… man the Nightosphere must have frozen over with Marceline acting like the voice of reason right now.
Both mom and daughter told Marceline there side of the story as Cedric and Emerald made sure to guard Finn.
At the end… Marceline pinched her nose in the throne room with many there after they got out of the sun.
"OK… first off… Dawn… while I can't stop you from getting food… you're grounded for a WEEK since this issue would have caused Serina to make you lose your favorite hang out place with Lillum… Bonnie… I may not have authority over you but unless you apologize to Serina… Emerald… Death… and Finn here… don't expect to get laid by me for two weeks now that I heard how badly this is… I get that you were worried but Serina does NOT half ass her security… not even my own dad, Dawn's grandfather, would cause issues in her place from how strong she is… hell she kicks my dads ass sometimes when he pulls stupid stunts around her… so she is not one to bluff with and expect her to joke about threats like this… I'll deal with Skelly Jr. here but I can assure you Bonnie he is NOT an adult because I can smell his scent… magic only altered his looks but not his age… he is around Emerald's age and Emerald doesn't joke around with practical magic and Serina wouldn't allow a perv into her restaurant… and as for Death… again… your guards intterupted a date with Deaths flipping daughter… and with Emerald… I've been around the dead worlds enough to know Death dotes on Un here and given how Un is obsessed with Emerald… pissing HER off is pissing Death off." Marceline said while Emerald blinks and looks at Undeath at the obsessed part for a moment before he looks back at Bubblegum.
Bubblegum knew that she can't talk herself out of this so she looks at the four people in question.
"I… apologize for causing a scene, ruining any dates and trying to imprison a child."
"And?" Marceline said as Bubblegum sighs.
"Also giving an execution order for my guards in the absolute worst case scenario." Bubblegum said as she looks at the four while Serina sighs.
"Apology accepted… I won't ban you or your daughter from my establishment." Serina said when she knew this was an accident more or less.
Dawn felt relieved on that… despite being grounded as Bubblegum looks at Emerald.
"I'll give you and your friends some gold for interrupting your dates."
Emerald though narrows his eyes.
"No need… given things you really shouldn't anger me more… before you even ask princess since I know what you'll ask later, apology not accepted… it wasn't me you screwed with… its Finn… and no… I'm not taking down the illusion… after today I trust you less than anyone else in this room… more so from what you've been trying to do in Grandfather Oak's forest… remember guys… the drones from the Candy Kingdom Sakura and the other guards Grandfather Oak orders to be destroyed on the daily… probably a bribe to make us just throw this incident under the rug… things could have been worse if the princess found out about what Finn really was so I'm not taking any chances here in case that gold or bag is bugged." Emerald said with an angry look on his face.
"Yeah lady. You screwed the pooch big time. I don't even want to come back here now." Cedric said as he now glares at Bubblegum.
Bubblegum blinks at this.
"Drones?... I never sent drones to Grandfather Oak's forest… the best I have given the messages I got from the first few attempts to stop had me just set up a perimeter around the forest just in case… what drones are you talking about?" Bubblegum said when she looks genuinely bewildered.
This made Cedric, Emerald and Finn blink at this.
"Okay… something tells me she literally doesn't know about this." Cedric said.
"Indeed… I scanned her mind… aside from a parameter of drones around your forest home, mainly to alert a special group of guards against dangerous beasts exiting the forest, she doesn't know anything, either someone is using drones that were hacked or remade and intended to look like Bubblegum was spying on your forest… in either account Bubblegum has no info on any of you… especially Finn…" Serina said while she had a serious look before she looks at Finn and Emerald.
"Finn… I suggest coming clean about who you really are… especially since Marceline may already know given your scent but kept quiet given how things go… if anything, out of the duo, Emerald… you trust Marceline as an ally given the fun you two had in the dead world with concerts and more right?" Serina said while she looks at Emerald and Finn mainly at this..
Finn was quiet before he looks at Emerald.
"May as well rip off the bandaid Emerald."
Emerald was silent before he looks at Bubblegum.
"Princess… I'll remove the spell on Finn but do you royal promise not to have underhanded plans for Finn once you see who he is unless its an emergency for extreme reasons?... and unless an emergency happens, not to reveal what he is to others outside of this room?" Emerald said while he looks Bubblegum in the eyes.
Bubblegum didn't know why but had no choice but to comply.
"Very well… I Royal Promise not to have any underhanded plans towards Finn… and won't reveal his identity unless an emergency happens for both situations."
Emerald sighs before he held his hand to Finn and he glows with a dark black light as the illusion was dropped… showing his human form to the two Queens and the hybrid princess and more.
Bubblegum's eyes widened when couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Y-You're… a human."
"I figured that was it given the scent…" Marceline said when she rubs her chin.
"Wait… you knew mom!?" Dawn said when Marceline shrugs.
"Occasionally I smelled a human scent on Emerald occasionally so figured unless there is a being similar smelling to the humans that I protected in the past, I figured it was a human… I didn't say much of anything given that unless there are hidden Vampires, Finn here was well protected given Emerald had his scent and Grandfather Oak being protective wouldn't let Finn leave the Forest unless necessary." Marceline said…
Meanwhile…
"OK who turned on the Ice age in the Nightosphere!?" Hunson said when he was shivering a bit in his throne room when things oddly looked cold and blue.
Back to the throne room…
Dawn was surprised.
"Can't believe I'm seeing an actual human… though he is a bit scrawny."
"Hey!… I can be unpredictable." Finn said as he felt offended.
"Eh no worries… Humans grow like weeds once puberty hits… could be that he turns into a cutie or adonis in the future, can already tell Cedric will be pretty rugged and unless Emerald gets the late adonis gene, may as well get the cutie stick in looks… play your cards right Dawn years from now and could try and date one of these three guys… or maybe make a reverse harem with all three hehe." Marceline said with an amused look on her face when she teased her daughter.
"Seriously? Considering the mess she caused with all that snooping around biz?" Rachel said with crossed arms.
"Hey before you say no girls, first off, Dawn is a prankster like me occasionally… she grows on you… second like it or not if you come here or to one of Serina's restaurants, may as well get along with her, and finally, considering many of you girls were brought in and not officially asked out yet besided Emerald with his cute Fiance… pretty sure only Un here has the right to get Dawn off Emerald's case at least… besides… 10 years… hang out enough and pretty sure not even one will be needed before you girls go clothes shopping together and stuff and use Emerald, Finn, and Cedric like packmules unless Dawn uses her transformation skills to use hair hands like me." Marceline said when she had many hair hands form from her hair which did the wave when they interlocked and stuff for a comical example.
The girls did look to one another after hearing that while Cedric looks at Finn and Emerald.
"The pack mule part does not sound good." He whispered.
"No kidding… whats a Pack mule?" Finn whispered back since he normally doesn't do shopping aside occasional weapon getting with swords for self defense and stuff so that term kind of went over his head.
Cedric sweatdrops.
"Nevermind… just brace yourself when Elena and aura make you hold a lot of bags. Dad always said women shop like maniacs."
Finn blinks at this as he now looks more bewildered…
Still he and Cedric look at Dawn while Marceline looks at Dawn.
"Just in case… apologize to these guys again so no one says you never apologized… depending on things could start out as friends and remember Dawn… you let others know about Finn and him being human before he is an adult who can properly defend himself… forget grounded for a week… you'll be grounded for years… and since you can't beat me in a fight yet… don't think I'm bluffing young lady." Marceline said while she looks at Dawn seriously.
Dawn jolts from the look before looking at Emerald, Cedric and Finn.
"I'm really sorry for causing this mess.. Especially for your arrest Finn. I didn't mean for this to happen."
Finn on his end rubs his head as he looks to see how sincere Dawn was.
"Well… as long as things don't happen like that again… were cool… honestly I hope we can get some food since I'm starving after that happened… didn't even get a bite to eat." Finn said as Emerald pats his back.
"Don't worry… pretty sure Lillum got the food stored so we can swing by and get it later, Lady Serina's cooks make some of the best meals so even reheated it won't be bad." Emerald said to cheer Finn up.
"Also… yeah… try and not cause issues and we're good… I mean… I would be the least of your worries if anything happened to Un here…" Emerald said while he points a thumb at Death who had crossed arms and looks down on Dawn dramatically while he stands to his full height for the intimidation factor.
"He's not wrong. If anything happens to my precious flower… I would put anyone's soul to the worst Dead World." Death said.
"W-What!?" Dawn said as Marceline looks at Death.
"Hey just a reminder, we would scrap Death… while I get the idea… I think Dawn gets the idea… she causes anything to harm Un here, you get angry… don't worry though…" Marceline said as Dawn was shaking like a leaf while hiding behind Marceline's leg.
"I think she gets the idea." Marceline said while she looks amused at how scared Dawn looks.
"Good. As long as she gets it." Death said.
"Good… anyway Cedric… think you can forgive Dawn here?" Marceline asked when she looks at Cedric with a kind smile.
Cedric was quiet for a bit.
"Well… she did try to fix it so… I'll accept the apology."
"Good… anyway Dawn… given things… return the goggles to Bonnie… after that… you may as well head to your room… still going to be grounded for a week for causing this… a prank maybe fun but only when it doesn't cause issues for others in the long run… still have a long way before you can even being a pranking Royal like me hehe… seriously though stop taking Bonnie's things… for all you knew those things could have been stuck on your head and not know it." Marceline said when she saw the goggles on Dawn's head.
Dawn did forget before she takes off the goggles.
"Yes ma'am." She said.
Dawn then passed Bubblegum the goggles before she flew away from the group… this had Marceline sigh.
"Now I know how my mom felt when I caused trouble for her and she was somewhat single… had to leave a concert in progress so my manager had to issue many refunds for tickets and more…" Marceline said while she rubs her head.
"Sorry for that Marceline." Bubblegum said since she knows rescheduling a concert is not good.
"No… not your fault, you thought you were doing good and more… I need a drink though… hey Finn, Emerald, Cedric, mind if I chaperone you guys and once I get you guys home after you eat and stuff at Serina's place, if I bring you to Death's place Un… think you can help me talk your dad here into letting me get some of the good stuff he has?... he should get what I mean." Marceline said when she looks at the kids and Undeath mainly.
"Hmmm… I think I can help you with that." Undeath said.
Marceline chuckled.
"Nice… if it helps with brownie points to keep you on Dawn's good side Death, maybe while I get a drink from you, can help… calm you in a fun way?... can even bring Life if you want." Marceline said when looks at the Death attributed Glob and winks at him.
Death chuckles.
"I may just do that."
"Nice… for now I should get these kids back to Serina's restaurant and stuff, I'll see you later Death." Marceline said when she looks at the kids.
"OK you all, get ready to leave, that means another illusion to hide Finn's looks, maybe I swing by Grandpa Oak's forest, can see if those drones are legit and stuff before I swing by the Dead worlds." Marceline said when she smiles at the kids with a kind smile.
"Sounds like a plan. Least we can continue this triple date." Maite said.
"Indeed, I will admit, Emerald and Cedy were very brave helping Finn." Rachel said with a smirk.
Cedric blushed as Emerald rubs his head.
"Well… to be honest… less brave and more like… Cedric and I help Finn by habit… he… is a trouble magnet… you stick by him enough you will get why… lets just say nearly getting arrested is the least craziest thing Finn ever did." Emerald said while he looks at the others.
"Oh yeah." Cedric said.
"Hey! Not all of it was my fault. Especially today." Finn said.
"Thats what makes you a trouble magnet… don't have to do much to cause chaos." Emerald and Cedric said with half lidded looks as they spoke in sync making Azure and the other girls giggle from the trio's antics.
Finn was fuming.
"Just you wait, you two, I'll get stronger and prove to everyone I'm not a magnet for trouble."
As Finn fumes and stuff, the adults and everyone chuckles at this before the scene slowly fades to black as the groups started to split as Marceline and Serina start leading the kids back to Serina's restaurant to get their meals and start heading home…
