A/N: Now, before I start off a year of "Dragon Ball" in honor of Akira Toriyama (which would be started off with the DBZ story), I figured I could post a few more chapters (2 for this story and 1 more for the B.B.C. (and no, I don't mean the BBC channel)) for Adventure Time. Just thought you should know. And this time, those chapters would cover Flame Princess' first appearance as well as that of an appearance of her brother, Flame Prince, voiced by Jason LeBrecht, who's most notable for voicing Tapion in "Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon", Champa in "Dragon Ball Super", and Toya (AKA Dabi) in My Hero Academia. And in his case, let's just say he's leaning toward Dabi in terms of personality. Not only that, but I also realized that I haven't featured Mille and Callie as often as I thought, so why not rectify that with those 3 chapters?
Adventure Time with Finn, Jake, & Rachel
Chapter 31: Incendium
One morning, at the top of the Tree Fort, Finn, Rachel, Mille, and Callie watched as Jake and Marceline each ate a watermelon (well, Marceline drained the red off the watermelon) while Princess Bubblegum showed her latest invention.
"And so, through my experiments with cloud-seeding, I've invented... liquid pyrotechnics.", Bonnie said as she lit the fuses before the fireworks soared into the air and burst, splashing both Finn and Rachel with multi-colored liquid, which Rachel licked with her tongue.
"Mmm. Tangy.", Rachel grinned.
"That's really cool, Bonnie!", Marceline grinned.
"Aw, thanks, Marcy.", Bonnie thanked, hugging Marceline.
"Isn't it cool, guys?", Jake asked.
"Yeah. And tasty, too.", Rachel added, looking at Finn, who stammered.
"Owwww-guh..."
Bonnie, Marceline, and Rachel giggled at this. Afterwards, Finn made an attempt to put his head on Rachel's lap.
"Oh, Finn...", Rachel beamed, giggling as she drew him closer to his lap.
Bonnie looked at this puzzledly.
"What? It's okay to get weird now and then.", Rachel grinned.
Of course, Mille sighed sadly, catching Finn and Rachel's worry.
"Huh? What's the matter, Mille?", Finn asked.
"Yeah. You look bummed.", Rachel added.
"It's nothing...", Mille said before going down the ladder and off the tree house.
"You know what? I'm not so convinced that it's nothing.", Finn said.
"Me neither.", Rachel agreed.
"Look, I'll see you guys later.", Bonnie said before leaving just as the pyrotechnics started bringing rain clouds and thunder.
"Uh... maybe we should all hurry back inside.", Rachel said worriedly.
"Huh? Oh."
Then, Finn, Jake, and Rachel all ran inside the Tree Fort away from the rain. Later, inside the house, the storm let up.
"It's letting up. Hey, guys, come on, let's go do something.", Jake said.
"Hold up, Jake. Look.", Rachel said, pointing to Mille, who was sighing sadly.
"She's been like that ever since we hung out with Bubblegum today.", Finn explained.
Jake, noticing how down Mille was, whispered to BMO.
"BMO, put on a game.", Jake whispered.
"I'll help play along. Literally.", Callie added.
So, BMO turned on a game and Callie got out her controller with a spare one next to it in hopes that Mille would play along with her.
"What's wrong, Mille?", asked Finn.
Hearing that, Mille perked up a little.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, guys. Nothing at all.", Mille said sadly.
"I don't know. That sad look you gave when we were hanging out earlier would say otherwise.", Finn said.
"It's just that... you guys have your own dates now. Jake, you have Lady Rainicorn. Bonnie has Marceline the Vampire Queen. THE Vampire Queen! And Finn, you have Rachel just as much as she has you. Or if you don't have each other now, you will soon. But me?", Mille began before sighing. "I'm not sure I have anyone that loves me right now... Heck, I don't even know if I can find anyone I love."
"How do you know? Have you tried looking around for any men that you might like around Ooo?", Rachel asked.
"Oh, I tried."
"We tried every possible man in Ooo while you guys were off on your missions, but none of them seemed to click for her.", Callie said.
"Oooh, boy.", Finn said.
"Every possible man, huh...?", Jake puzzled.
After some thinking, Jake came up with an idea.
"Uncle Jakey's gonna find you your own love interest.", Jake said to himself while looking toward Mille.
"What?", Mille puzzled.
"Tell me. What do you prefer in a dating partner?", Jake asked.
Mille blushed profusely.
"Girls...", Mille muttered awkwardly.
"Wait, what did you say?", Jake asked.
"GIRLS! Okay?!", Mille shouted loudly, embarrassed.
"Oh.", Jake said.
He then thought it over and remembered something.
"Oh! Like Bonnie and Marceline with each other, right?", Jake asked.
Mille sheepishly nodded before Jake put on a pair of boots and a backpack.
"Huh? Where are you going?", Mille asked.
"Guys, I'm going out for a quick... walk in the woods.", Jake said.
"Oh. Uh... okay. Be safe.", Mille responded.
Jake then turned to Finn, Rachel, Callie, and BMO.
"Finn, Rae-Rae, Callie, BMO, you four look after her. And with your camera-eyes, especially.", Jake requested, gesturing to BMO near the end of the request.
"If anyone tries to hurt Mille, I will kill them.", BMO warned.
"Uh, maybe don't go that far.", Rachel warned.
"We'll keep an eye on her, Jake.", Finn assured.
"Ok, good.", Jake grinned.
Jake then went down the ladder, leaving the Tree Fort. As he was leaving, he stepped above the trees with his stretchy legs while singing a song.
Jake: Gotta find a honey for my homey
A Baby for my buddy
(as Barry White) A lady... for my lassie
Suddenly, Jake heard a scream nearby.
"Woman!", Jake shouted.
Someone was taking cover under the wash tub and was under attack by Iron Owls.
"I'll save you, wash tub princess!", Jake shouted to the supposed princess, who still screamed until Jake kicked the Iron Owls away, saving the poor "princess".
"You're safe now, Miss... Flambo?!", Jake exclaimed, lifting the tub to find out that it was Flambo all along.
"Yeah, it's me.", Flambo said, chuckling. "Bet you thought I was dame on account of my girlish screamin'."
"I did think that.", Jake admitted, throwing away the wash tub.
"Haha, well. Thanks, anyway, brother.", Flambo thanked.
"Hey... You're pretty plugged-in, Flambo. Do you know any princesses Mille's age?", Jake asked.
"Oh, yeah. I know just the skirt, ...and she's way hot!", Flambo assured.
Later, Jake and Flambo arrived at the Fire Kingdom, in which a lava man was walking.
"She's from Fire Kingdom? I think I'll die if I go in there.", Jake said in worry.
"Heh, oh yeah.", Flambo said.
Flambo then cast the Flame Shield spell, chanting and also creating a series of runic symbols. Afterwards, he spat on Jake once the spell is cast.
"Ow...", Jake groaned before the flame then left behind a blue, glowing aura, which vanished, showing that Jake's body is now blue.
"There, I cast Flame Shield on yous. Also I spat on yous."
Jake gave an annoyed grunt and held up a small camera.
"BMO-cam on."
The hologram then showed Finn, Rachel, Callie, and Mille huddled together as Rachel and Mille were playing together with their controllers.
"Aw, man! You got me dead-to-rights, Mille. You're really good at this game.", Rachel grinned.
"Well, you have some free time to yourself, you tend to get some practice with these things.", Mille said, starting to smile.
"I call next game!", Finn and Callie said in unison, earning the two girls' giggles.
"Wow... Keep it up, guys.", Jake grinned.
After a pack of fire wolves passed by the two Fire Guards, the door opened and Jake and Flambo entered the castle. Jake gasped as a sort of Princess of the fire kingdom looked at the two visitors through an hourglass like prison, minus the sand.
"Yo! What up? I'm Jake, Jake the...", Jake began before Flambo hit Jake in the gut. "Dooug!"
"Dude, you gotta pretend like you're of royal blood.", Flambo whispered.
"Could have told me this sooner.", Jake said, annoyed.
"Haha! Yeah."
Jake and Flambo walked closer to the Flame King.
"Good morrow, Majesty!", Jake greeted before exclaiming as he continued onward. "I am Sir Jake, Baron of the Grasslands!"
"Hmmmmm... What do you seek? Speak!", Flame King demanded while pointing his left hand at Jake, terrifying him.
"Uhk-uhg... I come as an envoy of Princess Mille.", Jake said.
"A princess?! This is unheard of!", Flame King said in surprise, if not disapproval.
The Flame People chattered in similar disapproval.
"Yeah, I know. Still, she's the same age as your daughter.", Jake said, pointing his left hand at Flame Princess, who blushed.
"Still, know you that my daughter is a rare jewel. She cannot be wooed by just any ragamuffin prince, let alone any princess!", Flame King said.
"Umm... Oh, Princess Mille is AWESOME!", Jake shouted before the flame people chattered again, this time, in joyful surprise.
"An awesome princess?! That's the best kind!"
"Silence, my molten mommas.", Flame King commanded.
He then walked closer 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?!", the flame people chattered.
"You're blowin' it, bromite.", Flambo whispered.
"A gift?! Sire, Princess Mille sent, uh... three gifts!", Jake smiled as he showed through his hands how many gifts he brought and clapped.
"What?!", Flambo said, surprised.
"Hmmmm... Three is more than one.", Flame King said.
"Wait a second, three's a lot of gifts! I want three gifts!", the flame people chattered.
Even Flame Princess became interested.
"Oooh..."
"The first gift is um-um-um this water bottle.", Jake said, looking inside the backpack.
Once he got it out and shook it, the bottle accidentally slipped from the hand.
"Whoap!"
It then consequently hit the Flame Jester, who was dancing like an idiot and groaned as he melted, making Flame Princess gasp with a scowl.
"Princess Mille has smoked my jester! Pourquoi?! ...I do hate my jester.", Flame King admitted.
"Uh, Princess Mille hated him too.", Jake said.
"Hmmm..."
"For your second gift, a, uh... hmmmm... Oh!"
He spotted a Fire Musician playing a Fire Guitar and took it.
"A serenade, that Mille wrote for m'lady.", Jake said.
"Ooooooh...", Flame Princess said, interested.
So, Jake played the Fire Guitar and in the most tuneful way, he began to sing. Of course, as he sang, while Flame Princess was interested, Flame King, after a time, began to be most displeased about it.
Jake: 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.
Flame Princess applauded and sighed with admiration. But Flame King was disgusted.
"A fire inside my body?! I am disgusted! Give me your third terrible gift and be on your way!", Flame King shouted before walking back to his throne.
Feeling that the plan failed, Jake then checked on Mille with BMO's camera.
"Oh, Mille, I'm sorry, girl."
Of course, he saw Mille and Callie watching as Finn and Rachel were doing their usual sumo match with one another with the match seemingly on equal footing.
"Come on, Finn! You can take her!", Mille assured.
As Jake saw this, he didn't notice that Flame Princess and Flame King were watching this, too.
"Almost... got her...!", Finn grunted before he gave one heave, catching the rotund ice princess by surprise.
"Waaah!", Rachel exclaimed before landing.
"Ha! Got ya, Rae-Rae!", Finn grinned.
"Yes! You did it, Finn!", Mille grinned as Flame Princess watched, grinning from seeing her.
"It seems weird... but fun, too.", Flame Princess grinned.
"Wow, Finn! I can't believe you finally beat me.", Rachel grinned. "Still, I did say that you'll get there soon."
"So, that's what you guys do every night?", Mille asked.
"Well, something like that.", Rachel grinned.
"That looks like fun, you guys.", Mille grinned.
From the sight of this, Jake smiled sadly.
"Is that her? She looks terrible! Why isn't she here? Why did she send her buffoon?!", Flame King exclaimed.
His son, Flame Prince, was also less than pleased, although calmer.
"Exactly. This tells us that she wouldn't be fit for my sister.", Flame Prince agreed.
"Just can it, won't ya?! She's actually kinda cute. But you? You're just a jerk.", Flame Princess scolded to Flame Prince, who gave a glare with a growl, calm as it is.
"Yeesh.", Jake commented.
"What are you still here for, buffoon? Leave now, for you have failed!", Flame King shouted.
"No, wait! Uh-um, Princess Mille is here!", Jake assured in exclamation before he stretched his stomach to look like Mille. "She's riiight... here!"
Jake then spoke as Fake Mille.
"Greetings, Flame King! My final gift is your favorite thing in the world."
"A koala bear?", Flame King asked.
"Uh, yes!", Fake Mille spoke.
Jake then made sounds of concentration before making a koala bear inside a box made from Jake's stretchy powers.
"Eucalyptus! Eucalyptus!", Jake spoke as the koala.
After a moment, Flame King gave his answer.
"I don't like koalas anymore. Begone!"
Flame King shifted out of his armor as a flame and went up. Fake Mille started to cry.
"Dude, don't cry."
"Can't help it! I can't find anyone to love!", Fake Mille said.
"This kind of thing takes time, girl.", Jake said before Fake Mille grabbed Jake with both hands on both his shoulders.
"I can't wait either!"
"Come on! Flame Princess seems into you."
"It doesn't matter if Flame King won't even give me a chance with her!", Fake Mille said.
Jake rubbed Fake Mille to cheer her up, but then Fake Mille bit Jake's left arm.
"Ow! Mille...!"
Fake Mille then proceeded to strangle him.
"Mille...! Mille! Mille! Mille! Stop, man...!", Jake choked weakly.
"Ahh-ahh!", Fake Mille said.
"Miiiille.", Jake choked before playing dead and inhaling in tune with Fake Mille's breathing.
"Well, now. Color me impressed.", Flame Prince smirked.
"Huh?!", Fake Mille puzzled.
"And here I thought a princess wouldn't have the guts to do his own idiot servant in. No wonder you've got the nerves for her.", Flame Prince grinned, making Flame Princess blush with a glare toward her brother.
"Excellent! You have indeed proven yourself! I'll admit, a princess attracted to another princess is unheard of, but your actions here have convinced me! Any prince, or princess, for that matter, ruthless enough to kill her own buffoon would make an excellent boyfriend...", Flame King began.
"Yeah!", Jake whispered in celebration.
"... for my evil daughter!", Flame King finished.
"WHAAAAT?!", Jake shouted.
"She's an unstoppable force of destruction. Ahhhh, nothing a psycho like you can't handle. Congratulations!", Flame King congratulated as he pulled the lever releasing Flame Princess and his body evaporated and his armor started to float up again, returning immediately to his throne.
The hourglass-like lamp opened and Flame Princess quickly got out.
"I'm so happy! I'm so happy to meet you, Princess. You're my Princess.", Flame Princess said, embracing Fake Mille.
The Flame People chattered sweetly.
"That's sweet. That's so sweet."
"She seems normal.", Jake whispered.
"Yeah, she seems normal.", the flame people chattered.
But then, all of a sudden, Flame Princess lost her temper.
"Stop whispering!", Flame Princess roared as she transformed into her enraged form and turned the other citizens of the Fire Kingdom her blasts hit into flambits similar to Flambo.
"Hey, so that's where I came from.", Flambo said before Flame Princess returned to her normal humanoid form.
Jake was now terrified.
"You know, on second thought, ...we're not really each other's types.", Fake Mille said.
"We're... what?", Flame Princess puzzled in worry.
"I changed my mind. I don't like you.", Fake Mille said.
"You... WHAT?!", Flame Princess snapped as she transformed into her enraged form again.
"Uh, nothing.", Fake Mille said before Jake used Fake Mille to pick himself up and ran for his life. "Bye, Flambo."
The Fire Castle erupted as Jake left.
Later, Jake ran above ground and was now near the Tree Fort, panting as Flame Princess was gaining on Jake. He pushed the door and quickly closed it behind him in time to see Mille not only looking partially chubby, but also eating her own version of Finn Cakes: Mille Cakes.
"Mmm?", Mille puzzled.
"Jake? What's wrong?", Finn asked.
"Yeah, you look scared to death.", Rachel added.
"Guys, you gotta help me! I really messed up.", Jake said before the Tree Fort shook and the fire started spreading.
"Jake..., what did you do?", Rachel glared.
"Uhhh...", Jake began before the fire closed in and Jake and BMO started running with the former screaming as the Tree Fort shook again and Flame Princess appeared climbing the Tree Fort outside the window.
"What is that?!", Callie exclaimed.
"Looks like some kind of fire demon.", Mille said.
Hurriedly, she opened the window and peeped out of it in time to see Flame Princess reaching the top of the Tree Fort as well as Princess Bubblegum's liquid fireworks near to her flames.
"Bubblegum's rockets..."
Of course, in her anger, Flame Princess accidentally ignited the rest of Princess Bubblegum's liquid fireworks and the drops from the fireworks hit Flame Princess, dousing out her flames and making her scream in pain while becoming reduced to her normal humanoid form, which surprised Mille.
"Mille? What's going on? What's up there?", Finn asked.
"It's not what. It's who... I think it's a girl.", Mille said.
Still weakening, Flame Princess briefly passed out and began to fall before Mille caught Flame Princess in her arms before going inside.
"Whoa... A girl really did all this?", Finn asked in awe.
"Wait a minute. Is she from the fire kingdom?", Rachel asked just as Flame Princess woke up, saw Mille, and then shoved her back while standing back up.
"You! What's wrong with me, huh?! You don't like me?!", Flame Princess exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?! Of course, I like you! I mean, we may've only just met, but still.", Mille responded.
Flame Princess blushed for a few moments before becoming angry, or at the very least, annoyed.
"What's wrong with you?!", Flame Princess shouted before slapping Mille, leaving a hand-shaped burn mark on her face.
"Don't ever mess with me again!", Flame Princess warned before shooting out the window in a trail of fire.
"Again, what did you do?", Rachel glared toward Jake.
But Jake could not exactly respond again as he was still terrified.
"More importantly, who the heck was that?", Callie asked.
"The Princess of the Fire Kingdom?", Jake responded, still terrified as Mille then looked out the window, then back at the others, a blush visible on her face.
"Guys, I think I have a crush.", Mille said.
