 Chapter One 

 The Passing





             Finn sucked in a shaky breath. Exhaled with some difficulty. The soft white linen beneath him eased the pain of the transition of his soul to another host, and the warm presence beside and to the right of him, harnessed by a familiarly fiery face, gave him comfort. His body tingled with Flame Princess's love and passion. A love he'd once experienced on a completely different level, but had lost. A love that he had regained, but not in the same way. Never the same. It never could be. But he knew then and there that his once true love still nursed a burning passion for him, and always would.

             He glanced to the left of him. There, as he knew he would, he found the sweet, reassuring face of his first boyhood crush. He could feel the same sense of duty, responsibility, and caring that had lingered about her for as long as he'd known her. Princess Bubblegum and Finn had saved her kingdom many a time. They shared so many memories, Finn could not recount them all even if he tried. He could still feel himself tingle when she planted one last kiss on his forehead.

             He cast a grin towards the foot of his bed. There he knew he could find a fun-loving, mischievous, hard-core vampire queen whom he'd always been able to joke around with. The wild rocker girl with attitude and spunk. The radical dame who likes to play games. If Marceline couldn't supply a good laugh, Finn didn't know who could. Jake, maybe...

             Jake. The faithful friend had stayed by his buddy's side to the end. He too knelt by Finn's dying bed. A man had never had a more loyal dog.

             "How are you feeling, homey?" Jake asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

             Finn coughed, "Feeling like an adventure."

             Jake didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then he smiled sadly and said, "Finn Human, all your life, all you've done is adventure.   You rest now.   We can go adventuring later."

             Finn turned expectantly to the bubblegum princess, "What about...one last prank, Prubs?"

             Bubblegum simpered, "You know I'm too old for that, silly boy.   But...maybe tomorrow, we can prank the Earls one last time."

             "Marcy?" Finn looked at the vampire queen. "You want to go strangle some pixies after that?"

             "I'm free tomorrow," Marceline replied, refraining from letting the slightest tone of sadness creep into her voice. "Sure."

             "Ice King," Finn snapped his head towards the king of all things cold, ignoring the pain that shot through his neck. "You'd better not kidnap any princesses tomorrow, Simon."

<p class="MsoNormal">             Poor Ice King could not reply for all the salty tears cascading down his face. Finally, he managed a hysterical, "Okay, Finn!" before resuming his uncontrollable sobbing.

<p class="MsoNormal">             Finn raised his artificial right arm, "Jake...I want you to have this."

<p class="MsoNormal">             "Your bionic arm?" Jake ejaculated. "Finn, I can't.   You've loved that thing ever since that demon lord cut off your real one!   You should keep it."

<p class="MsoNormal">             Finn wheezed persistently, "Take it, Jake.   So you can remember me."

<p class="MsoNormal">             Jake hesitated, but saw the insistent look on Finn's face and gingerly removed the robotic appendage.

<p class="MsoNormal">             Finn felt a little more relaxed, "Flame Princess..."

<p class="MsoNormal">             "Shh..." the fiery princess raised a finger to her lips. "Don't speak." she leaned in close. Finn embraced the familiar heat, let the fervent compassion seep into his body and reawaken heartfelt memories in a blaze of flame. He let her face come closer and closer to his, until they met and a kiss was born on their lips. It was warm and passionate and real. And it was the last thing the adventurer felt as he closed his eyes and let go.
