Chapter 3: Her Little Black Book

Finn pov

I looked at my new friend with surprise. Why did she look so freaked. I mean...yeah...this was some really janked up stuff to hear about...but like PB said...It was three months away. No worries, right? I mean...I bet me and Jake could take care of it easy if we were given a few days. Everyone in Ooo knew of my epic heroness...so why did she look like she was about to be given a bath or something?

I watched Cake as her large eyes trailed downward to a book sitting on the coffee table. It was well worn. It looked as though it was old as Ooo itself if not older than that. The leather was tattering on the binding but all the pages seemed to stay in place. After staring at the book for a moment longer I realized something else. The book was also black. Jake stiffened as the same realization dawned on him.

I licked my now dry lips as I was about to speak up...Jake beat me to it but his approach to the situation was a bit more violent than mine was going to me. He lunged for book and crashed down on the coffee table breaking it. Bubblegum screamed in surprised as quickenly stood up. She finally noticed the extra person in the room. Cake hissed and her eyes narrowed. Before we could do anything they were on eachother like syrup on pancakes. They rolled around on the floor scratching and biting. The book was between them.

Both pairs of eyes were feral. They looked almost dangerous as they fought. I rushed over and tried to pry them apart. Finally after a few minutes of struggling I managed to pull Cake off of Jake. She gave one last scratch along my cheek (I'm sure now that it had been meant for Jake and not me...but that didn't stop it from hurting). I dropped her. My hand flew up to my cheek and I winced. Luckily the scratch wasn't to deep so it only bled a little. She looked up at me with wide eyes and a kind of maternal expression crossed her face.

"Oh sweet babies! I'm so sorry honey...I didn't mean to scratch you!" She rushed over to me and pulled me down to her level. She held my face in her paws. "Well it doesn't look to bad...I'm still sorry hun..."

Jake grumbled from his place on the floor before sitting up. He had the book in his hands, "Finn get away from her...she's Janked up man...She attacked me...look at the scratches!"

She growled at him, "You started it! You were trying to steal Fionna's book!"

His eyed her with an odd look on his face, "Fionn-wha?"

"Fionna's book! her book! you tried to steal it..."

"Who's Fionna...?"

"FIONNA THE HUMAN!" she yelled as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. An awkward silence followed.

"...the human...?" I swallowed hard and just stared for a moment. Everyone did the same.

Princess Bubblegum put her hand to her mouth with a look of shock, "Fionna...honest and true...the real Fionna the human?"

she nodded and PB now seemed excited, "Does that mean...you are Cake the Cat...?"

Again another nod and Bubblegum squeaked in a happy was, "Splendid! The two of you shall save us...my Uncle had always told me stories of the two of you but I had always thought they were just that...stories! It's great to finally meet the real you! where's Fionna!? The Candy kingdom will need her help as well!"

I'm not gonna lie...that hurt more then being kissed by Flame princess. Why did Bubblegum believe that these people could save the day but not us. It wasn't just that part that bothered me though. The fact that one of them was human was getting to me to. Another human...another human and BP knew about it...and had never told me.

"The two of us have the same question princess...I don't know where Fionna is...I haven't for a long time...I...well...I'd hate to admit it...but I think she might be..." She seems unwilling to say the word so she just skipped over it..I guess the word dead was to final for the poor cat. "...her and her husband...her small little family...I do not what happened to them..." I looked over at Cake. She looked sad...no...maybe depressed is a better word, She just shrugged. "Maybe the last of the humans are just gone...who knows..."

"That's not true..." I said sounding a little miffed.

"And why is that young man?"

"Because I'm human!"

"Hyooman or Human?" She asked carefully with a kind of uncertainty.

I pulled down my hat to reveal my blond hair and gilless neck,"Like I said... Human..."

She paused and looked at me for a moment...a smile formed on her lips, "I knew there was something I liked about you...it must be the fact that you look like her...erm...well...the fact that you look human I mean...a handsome human at that..."

Another awkward silence followed. I rubbed my arm blushing slightly at the compliment. The silence was only broken when Jake spoke. He looked confused, "What is with this book! It doesn't even have real words! Its all faded gobbly-gook!"

Cake shoot her head...she walked towards Jake and snatched the book away from him, "A human boy once told me that only a certain human family could read this book...only one of the desendents of the the original writers can read and write within it...apparently the family was friends with a wizard or something along those lines. Got it enhanted...Fionna could never actually read it...but Michael and...Zandla...they could read it..."

I was about to say something when suddenly we heard a crash...I turned to look at a shattered bottle and a orange liquid spreading across the floor. An unremorseful penguin was standing next to it, "Wack Wack..."

"Dude! what the hell are you doing here!" the bird only flap his flippers wildly and continued to wack at me. Cat looked rather surprised to see the small bird but I didn't know why. A kind of warmth was directed at the cold bird. At the moment I didn't care why Cake did such strange things...Gunter was breaking our stuff! "Is the Ice king here to? ugh! why does he show up at the worse times!...erm...wait...where is he? Usually if he were here he would have interupted us by now...wait...how did you even get in here...I just locked the doors..."

"WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK!" Gunter yelled still looking wild and maybe a bit paniced.

"Ummm..."

"WACK WACK WACK!"

"I don't understand..."

"WACK WACK!"

"...you at all, man..."

"WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK WAAAAAAACK!"

I looked over at Jake hopefully, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Can you transelate?"

"No! geez...I know a bit of dog but my water fowl is horrible...I wouldn't get us anywhere"

Cake shook her head, "Useless dog..." She walked over to Gunter and smiled happily at her. Guther's expression instantly changed to something akin to recognition and she glomped the cat. She only laughed and hugged the smaller creature, "Hello to you to sweetie..."

"Wack wack!"

She laughed as and shook her head, "Yes hun I'm back and we will have plenty of time to catch up...but first things first...could you repeat what you were saying Günter?"

In a much calmer tone the bird continued in his odd language. A look of concern crossed her face and it wasn't long after that Cake shared the same look. She got up and put Gunter down, "She says Simon is acting strange...beyond raving at things that that aren't there...He seems...scared..."

For an odd moment I felt concerned for the king but I quickly tried to shake it off. The fact that she understood Gunter interested me, "Dude...you can actually understand what She said? That's pretty rightous..."

She shrugged and started heading towards the door, "You learn to talk to them when you grow up in the Ice Kingdom...plus...if helps a bit if you knew the bird when they little chickedies..." A smile formed on her lips. "When there is a more personal connection the between the two...comunication is much easier."

A/N 2-What is so important about that old black book? Why does PB believe that Fionna and Cake can save the entire world but Finn and Jake can not? How does Cake know Gunter and Simon? Who is Zandla? When will I post another chapter? Review to find out.

I don't expect a set number of reviews but I really would like it if the reviews were fun to read...be detailed! I read all of them and usually detailed reviews make my day. Tell me what you found interesting and what you liked...even what you disliked. I'll put up another chapter as soon as I can.
