"Ice King are you sure that you can take care of Beemo?" I asked

"For the last time Finn, yes! Sheesh!"

"Okay okay. I was just making sure. Are you ready to go Marcy?"

"Yeah. Bye Simon." Marceline said as she hugged Ice King

"Goodbye, Marceline." Ice King said awkwardly

Marceline went over to Beemo and patted the top of the little robot's body.

"Bye, baby." She said

"Bye!" Beemo shouted excitedly

"I'll see you later, Beemo!" I told the little robot

"Bye, Finn!" Beemo and Ice King said simultaneously as they waved to me

Marceline began walking out of the room and opened her umbrella. I followed her outside and blew a raspberry.

"Do you really think it's a good idea to leave Beemo with Simon?" Marceline asked as we walked out of the Ice Kingdom

"It's not the best idea I've had, but this can at least help Simon take his mind off some things." I replied

"Hopefully." She said as she wrapped her arms around me and flew into the air

The entire flight back home was spent in a beautiful silence.

When we got home the first thing that Marceline did was kiss me and boy did she kiss hard. I'm not complaining or anything but I guess that's what I should have expected. I quickly kissed her back as she pushed me down on to the couch. She straddled herself in my lap and began to nibble on my ears and slowly slide herself against me. I shivered with pleasure as she continued to bite me. She quickly took off her shirt and kissed me even more. I took my shirt off and started to nibble on her neck. She shoved me back down on the couch and floated away.

"Oh Finny boy. It's not gonna be so easy for you this time." She said to me

"What do you mean?" I asked her

She slowly took off her pants and wiggled her hips seductively while turning herself around. She was wearing a red-laced bra and panties that really complimented her.. umm.. figure. Yeah, figure. She kicked off her pants which sent them flying across the room. She then walked up to me and leaned over. I could very well see her cleavage which I think is what she was intending to do. She also had a small smirk on her face.

"Wait here. I got something special for you." She whispered as she floated away

I watched her as she left the room. I feel like she's gonna get something I'm not gonna like. She usually did that when I was alive just to mess with me. But nonetheless I felt an odd sense of nervousness and excitement fill my mind as well as other places.

The moments passed on as I sat there patiently. Marceline then emerged from upstairs with a black bag. I looked at her with a quizzical expression on my face. She then pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

"Marceline, you kinky little girl." I said to her

She was blushing mad crazy as I said that. She then walked up to me and grabbed me. She floated up to my bedroom and tossed me on to my bed. She quickly handcuffed me to the bedpost and grinned. I couldn't help but laugh nervously. She pulled out something from the black bag and hid it behind her back.

"What is that?" I asked her

"Silence, henchman!" She said as she smacked me on the thigh

"Ow!" I yelled

I looked at her and saw that she was holding a paddle.

"You brought a paddle?!" I asked

"Haha! Yeah, I thought that this would spice things up." She said as she smiled

"When did you get that?!"

"Last night when you were sleeping." She said as she patted the paddle against her hand

"I didn't think you'd end up being so kinky.." I muttered

"I said, silence henchman!" She said as she hit me again

"Ow! Okay! Okay!"

"Now take off your pants." She demanded

I gave her a 'are you serious' look.

"I can't. I'm handcuffed, Marcy."

"Oh." She said as she laughed to herself

She quickly took off my pants and tossed them to the floor. So here I am almost naked, handcuffed and being hit with a paddle. Today is turning out to be one weird day.

"Now you will obey everything I say. Do you understand, henchman?" She said as she stared at me lustfully with her crimson eyes

Oh Gob.

Twelve days remaining..

4:34 a.m.

Damn, I'm tired. There are places on my body that I didn't even think could be sore. Marceline finally fell asleep so I now have time to think about how I can stay here because I don't want to leave Marceline in two weeks. I have to find a way to stay.

There's only one person I know who can help me. I have to go find him.

I got off my bed and stood up slowly. I looked back at Marceline and saw that she was still asleep. I put on a grey hoodie and black pants and carefully crept out of the room. I slowly climbed down the ladder and started to head for the door.

"Where are you going?" Marceline's voice called out to me

"I was going to see an old friend." I told her

"At four in the morning? That sounds pretty sketchy, Finn." She said as she approached me from behind

"I know. I know. But it's important." I said as I turned around to face her, "I have to see if he can help me."

"Help with what?"

"Making sure I stay here after my two weeks are up."

"I'm coming with." Marceline said as she grabbed her umbrella and walked outside with me.

She wrapped her arm around my waist and began to float up but I stopped her.

"Let's just walk." I told her

"Are you sure? We can make it there faster if we fly over there."

"I know but I really just feel like walking tonight."

I reached my hand out and grabbed her hand. She looked at me and smiled. I squeezed her hand only to get a squeeze back in response.

"A walk sounds nice." She replied

We then walked down the grass fields. I gave her a peck on the cheek. She looked back at me and blushed. Even if her body was still somewhat cold I could feel her getting warmer.

"Finn, I really hope that this guy you're gonna see can help you stay. I don't want to lose you again.." She said as her voice cracked

I looked over at her and saw that her eyes were watering up. I stopped walking and grabbed Marceline by the shoulders and faced her directly.

"Listen to me, Marceline. I'll make sure that I can find a way to stay. I don't care what it takes."

My breathing began picking up as Marceline looked at me.

"I promise you, Marceline. I won't leave you again. I love you." I said as I brought her closer to me

"I love you too, Finn." She said as she dug her head into my chest.

Marceline slowly pulled away from me and suddenly gasped. A flash of light covered my sight and blinded me. I tried closing my eyes but it was still bright. It was like this for a couple of seconds before the light dimmed out. I slowly opened my eyes and quickly blinked. I wiped my eyes and looked at Marceline. She looked back at me and gasped.

"Finn, what happened to you?"

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Look at yourself!"

I looked at myself and saw my bangs hanging loosely, partially covering my sight. I grabbed a piece of my bangs and inspected it closely. It was silver.

"Whoa!"

"Your hair's silver and your eyes are white."

"That's weird." I said as I played with my hair

"Your body starts changing and that's all you have to say."

"Calm down, Marcy. I'm sure this'll pass." I reassured her

"I'm sorry, Ms. Marceline but Finn needs to be like this in order for my companion to know of his situation." A voice spoke out to us

I knew that voice from anywhere. It was Death's. What is he doing here and why can't I see him?

"Where are you, Death?" I asked

"I'm still in my realm in the Deadworld. I'm just communicating with you two telepathically." He answered me

"Are you sure that this.. change needed to happen?" I asked

"In order for your friend to help you he needs my permission and this is my way of saying he can help you. A body devoid of colour. There's so many rules that come with unconventional dark magics that you don't even know of Finn."

"How long will this last?" Marceline asked

"The whole two weeks. So good luck and don't waste your time, Finn."

"I won't."

"Good. Now, I have very important matters to attend to! I hope you two find your way to happiness. And between us, I'm a sucker for happy endings."

Suddenly there was silence. After a couple of awkward seconds I decided to break the silence.

"Pretty weird, right?" I said

Marceline giggled and playfully punched my arm.

"Yeah. You haven't changed a bit, Finn." She said with a smile

"And you're still as beautiful as I remember." I complemented her

"You're so adorable, you good little boy." She told me as she pinched my cheeks

I grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a kiss. She yelped in surprise when I pulled her towards me which made me chuckle.

"What's so funny?" She asked me lowly as she put her forehead against mine

"All the noises you make.." I whispered to her

She then licked her lips and quickly kissed me. She then floated away from me.

"So are we gonna go?" She asked

"Yeah. Let's go." I said as I started walking for our destination once again.

After half an hour of walking the Candy Republic came into view. Marceline looked at me with a worried expression on her face.

"Why are we here?" She asked me

"I need to see someone." I replied

"You know that Bonnie's not here, Finn." She said uneasily

"I know but I'm here to see someone else."

"Who?"

"Peppermint Butler. If anyone has experience in situations like mine it would be him. I'm sure he could help us or at least try to."

We approached the pink candy steel gates to the republic. There was no one to be found. Marceline simply picked me up and flew over the gate. The Candy Republic didn't look that different from the Candy Kingdom. If not for the name change I would've guessed that it was still the same old Candy Kingdom. I wonder what Bonnie what have thought about this. The whole situation with me coming back and the rise of democracy in her kingdom. Then again if she wasn't gone then they wouldn't have needed democracy. They would've had their princess and that would've been more than enough.

I was brought out of my thoughts as we approached the center of town. I stared at the streetlights that dimly lit up the streets. The whole town looked ominous and menacing. It was weird. Maybe it was because this whole town was now full of strangers now instead of all the candy people I knew.

I looked up at the castle and saw the old balcony that led into Bonnie's room. There was a short round figure standing on the balcony.

"Marceline."

"What's up, weenie?"

"Look." I said as I pointed towards the castle

Marceline looked over towards the balcony and squinted her eyes.

"It's.. it's him."

"Let's go."

She picked me up and flew towards the balcony. As we reached the balcony I saw Peppermint Butler. He looked a lot older than the last time I saw him. He had a grey beard growing on his face and his eyes were white like mine.

"Hello, Ms. Marceline." He said as he cleared his throat.

"Hey there, Pep-But." She greeted him as we landed on the balcony

"You have brought a guest with you?"

"Yes, he's an old friend." She said as a grin spread across her face

"If you don't mind sir or madam but may I ask your name? My sight faded ages ago so I cannot see you."

"Finn.." I told the old butler

"Finn? Hmm.. I haven't heard that name in a long time. Not since the old hero of Ooo was alive. Are you by any chance related to Finn the Human? Because as far as I can remember, Mr. Finn and Ms. Marceline did not have any children."

"It's me, Peppermint Butler."

Peppermint Butler's face lit up and a smile came to his face.

"It's nice to see you, old-timer." I said to him

"How are you alive? I thought that you were dead."

"Death let me come back."

"That is amazing! I didn't think that he would let you come back, especially since you are a mortal. He loves those kinds of souls."

"But there's a catch. I can only be here for two weeks."

"That sounds more like him." Peppermint Butler said as he chuckled a little

"And I need your help so I can stay here for good."

"Does he know that you are trying to stay?" The blind servant asked

"Yes. He said that you have his permission."

"How can I tell?"

"He drained my hair and eyes of their color."

"Ah, a body devoid of colour. Let me feel your hair, child."

I walked forward and crouched next to him. He reached over and felt my hair.

"Yes. Yes.." He said to himself

He then held my face and stared into my eyes.

"Everything checks out." He said as he let go of me

"So can you help us?" I asked him as I stood back up

"I cannot help you directly for I am an old man, but I can point you in the right direction towards your goal."

"Really?" Marceline asked excitedly

"Yes, but remember there are no guarantees to what I show you and what you shall try will work. So promise me and your wife, Finn, that even if you are not able to return back to this world that you will spend the rest of the time you have left with your wife. It hurt to see her as she was for these last several decades."

I looked back at Marceline and walked up to her. She looked up at me as I put my arms around her.

"I promise."

"I shall leave you two alone so you may discuss your plans. When you two are done meet me in my study. You do remember as to where my study is, right Finn?"

"I still remember, Peppermint Butler. I won't get lost like last time."

Peppermint Butler simply chuckled to himself and left us at the balcony.

"So.." Marceline trailed off

"Marceline, look I'm really sorry that I left you alone for all these years."

"It's okay, Finn. You're here now. That's all that matters. And if this works then you'll be able to stay."

"What if it doesn't work?" I asked her

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Right now we have to go see an old fart and see if he can help us."

"Yeah. Let's go." I said as I released her from my embrace

"Are you sure that you remember where his old study is?" She asked me as walked back inside the castle

Oh no. She saw through my ruse!

"Uhh.. yeah. I totally remember." I said as a bead of sweat dripped down my forehead

Marceline sniffed the air with her nose.

"I smell a liar!"

"I'm not lying!" I said defensively

"You are such a bad liar! You always start to sweat when you lie and you're sweating up a storm!" She told me

"No, I'm not!"

Marceline wiped her hand across my forehead and showed me her hand. It was glistening with sweat. I laughed nervously.

"It's hot out here." I told her

"It's like fifty-three degrees out here, Finn. You're so full of crap!"

Oh no! I can't think of anything to say! Time for my backup plan.

"Did I ever tell you how awesome you are?"

"Not this time, Finn."

So close. I then felt a painful yanking on my ear.

"Ow!"

"Luckily for you I remembered where it is." Marceline said as we went inside

"Are you pulling me by the ear?" I yelled in pain

"Shh, Finn! People are sleeping." She whispered to me

"Let go of my ear!" I whispered back to her

"What did you say?"

"I said, can you let go of my ear?"

"I can't hear you."

"CAN YOU LET GO OF MY EAR."

"Nope."

She yanked on my ear even harder and began dragging me through the halls of the castle.

"Please let me go." I begged her

"Sure."

"Really?"

"No." She quickly replied as she pulled on my ear even harder

"I promise I won't lie to you again."

"Okay." She said as she dragged me down a long corridor

"So can you let me go?" I asked

"Haha! No."

Shit, this hurts. After a couple more minutes of walking we arrived at a bookshelf that resided in a dark hallway. Marceline looked around and pulled on a red and white striped book. She then let go of my ear and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"That hurt." I said as I rubbed my ear

"Stop being such a baby."

I stuck my tongue out at Marceline and blew a raspberry. She simply rolled her eyes.

"Real mature, Finn."

"I try my best."

"So do you remember the way over here?" She asked me

"Uhh.."

The bookshelf slid back and revealed a stone pathway that led deeper into the walls of the castle.

"Forget that I asked."

"Already did."

Marceline stepped inside and gestured for me to follow her. So I did. The bookshelf behind us set itself back into place and closed behind us. Now it's time to see if Peppermint Butler can help and see if his suggestions can actually help me or not.

This story is not dead!

Peppermint Butler is still alive but is blind. The reason why he's blind was because of the events that happened all those years ago when Finn was alive. Will I explain how he is blind and how Finn died and what happened Bonnibel? (Since I haven't told you readers) More than likely but it will be later in the story.

The next chapter will be showing what methods can possibly help Finn stay in the world of the living and how him and Marceline approach said methods and where they will travel.

Thanks for reading guys and girls! See you next chapter and don't be afraid to show this story some love. Leave a review and/or any suggestions you guys have and it could possibly occur in the story!

With love,

Samuel The Raconteur
