(Heyyo! Sorry about the long absence, I was away at college and as much as I love to upload small pieces for random strangers on the internet to read, getting good grades is just as important. Now that it's summer, I'm hoping to crank out these as fast as I can! Enjoy!)

Cake's legs stretched across the vast pink trees that littered the forest outside the Candy Kingdom. Finn's head still throbbed from the sporadic events that life had given him, and the hot-tempered blondie definitely wasn't helping his confusion. Despite all this, the familiar breeze that came along with laying on the back of a giant magic animal was comforting. Cake's fur was so warming and soft to the touch, that he wanted to spread out and take a nap. The sounds of birds chirping in the distance, the delicate rays from the sun hitting his face, and smell of the grass emanating from the ground soothed his chest. That was, until Fionna gave him a smack on the head.

"Don't relax too much dude, otherwise you'll be too groggy to explain things to Gumball." Fionna scolded.

"Chill, chill, It's not like we have a time limit." responded Finn. "It's never a bad thing to take a moment and relax when things are too stressful".

Even so, Finn knew that Fionna was right. Being too easy going wasn't going to get him home, and the prospect of never seeing his old friends again mortified him. Thoughts of Jake growing old and the folks of Ooo forgetting about him was frightening, and while laying around was good and all, finding out where he was and how to get home was priority number one.

"There it is.", exclaimed Fionna.

In the distance he noticed the large structures. Colorful towers that seemed to give off the vibe of an acid trip. Bubbles floated up into the air as the world around him began to smell sweeter. He felt like he had been given a dose of LSD.

"Wait… Is that the Candy Kingdom?"

"Well, at least you aren't completely on drugs." Fionna replied, "Yeah, that's the Candy Kingdom, watched over by Prince Gumball. Everything there is made of candy, even the people. But don't go eating the citizens while we're there. Trust me, they don't like it."

"I tried ONE butterscotch and Gumball got mad at me saying 'Don't eat the ears of citizens' and stuff. I can't help it if everything looks so good" said Cake.

This didn't make any sense. Seeing the Candy Kingdom meant that he should be home. Or not. Or what? And who was Prince Gumball? Is he a relative to Princess Bubblegum? This made absolutely no sense at all. Exactly where was he?

With every new observation giving him more questions, Finn stood up to get a better view of the massive gumball machines blowing bubbles into the sky. He then immediately regretted this decision as he tumbled and fell off of Cake's back.

"Ah, shit! Finn!" Fionna cried.

Fionna leapt off Cake and dived towards the falling boy, grabbing her grappling hook from her knapsack.

"I'm going to kill this idiot."

She grabbed Finn around the waist and threw her hook towards the nearest branch, clinging onto the rope for dear life. As Cake began to realize what had happened, Fionna lost her grip on the rope and dropped, still clinging onto Finn, towards the ground.

"Fionna!" yelled Cake, as the sounds of leaves pierced her ears and the world went black.

Finn awoke for the second time today feeling dazed and confused. He hoped this wasn't going to become a regular occurrence. Figuring out puberty and girls was hard enough without waking up with a headache everyday. Jake said those days didn't happen until he was 21.

The room was pitch black, but he could see far up above his head was a small hole revealing only a sliver of sunlight. The air was damp and cold, making it hard to breathe. As he lay there, he noticed that there was a small amount of pressure pushing him down into the hard tiled ground. It was rather hard to breathe, and the air certainly didn't make it any better.

He rummaged his hands over and tried to push whatever was on him off, and he came into contact with very soft flesh.

"Ah shit." Finn thought.

"Aiiiieeeeeee!"

Finn felt a smack across his face filled with the power of a thousand suns. He would've gotten knocked out again if not for his utter desire to stay awake every once in awhile.

"What the hell! You fall down a hole and the first thing you do is feel a girl up?" Fionna yelled.

Finn grabbed his flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. Fionna was visibly embarrassed, but whether the red in her cheeks was from that or anger, Finn couldn't tell.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I couldn't see anything, and it's not like I wanted to touch you!"

Fionna's expression changed, this time it went from anger and embarrassment to a more offended attitude.

"And what's THAT supposed to mean!?"

This time, he saw it coming, and braced his cheek for impact. The hit knocked the wind out of him, but also turned his head towards the blackness of the cave. His eyes fell on red triangles in the darkness. They glowed, and seemed to be gazing back at him.
