Cherrina

((Y/n POV))

It's been a week since the day I left Jake and Finn's home but I swear Marceline have been taking care of me as a really cool friend, she helped me get over a few memories, without asking anything in return.

Though I wonder how Finn and Jake's doing?

"Hey Y/n. You really wrote the nicest songs. In exchange for your brilliant ideas , I shall bring you somewhere. Or let's just say 'visit some friends' " Marceline was circling around the living room checking papers and some instruments out, then finally she entered a different door grabbing a few items before returning to the living room, placing the items on top of the coffee table in front of me.

"You wanna see Finn and Jake, right? Then you need to wear a wonderful disguise" Marceline picked up a few cherries from the fridge , mixing them in a blender creating an amazing type of thick textured makeup.

"Marceline you really are smart"

"Now hold still Y/N" She applied the makeup on my face little by little till I finally look identical to a real cherry.

"Let's see, You need to cover your hair.. What can act as a diversion" Marceline continue to think of solutions when her eyes finally caught of something useful.

"I have an idea.. Wait here"

She returned with some animal furs in her hands.. Marceline plucked all the fur out of the dead animals skin, she washed it first, stitched it together in one cloth before putting it on my head.

To be honest I can removed this Crown but I don't think it's a good idea since Marceline would figure out I am also a human like Finn. So I remained my identity as a secret to everyone.

The red colored fur suits my current dark pink skin. It almost seem like I am a completely different person.. Or mostly I look like a cherry princess. Marceline tucked my white hair in. The crown is still in my head yet it was perfectly covered by the wig .

"There now you may choose one set of clothes in my drawer. Replaced that cheeky looking dress"

I'm now shuffling through her drawer finding anything better to wear. Luckily I found some jeans, converse shoes, a hat and a shirt. Finally something comfortable to wear. I revealed myself wearing the new set of clothes. Marceline immediately pulled me outside to wherever she wanted us to hangout .

After minutes of flying, we finally caught sight of Finn's tree house, can't help but to feel nervous at some time..

"Now Y/n .. Wear this" She gave me heart shaped sunglasses so I wear them probably to cover my blue colored eyes.

We landed in front of the door way as Finn and Jake walked out from it.

"Oh hey Marceline" Finn greeted.

"Hey yo" Marceline replied with cool gestures.

"Great timing Marceline. You can help us find someone.. This kid over here can't seem to sleep properly without his new friend around, although he kept ignoring her .." Jake asked for some help while pointing at Finn. He's definitely talking about me, now I feel more nervous.

"Oh hey. What's your name?" Finn asked me.. Oh gosh can you please not give me some more reasons to be anxious?! .. Especially when I'm trying to act as different as ever. Ehem time to try out my voice acting skills.

"Oh HEY ! m-MY NAME IS Cherrina!!" I sounded like a shouting pig now though.

"Are you a princess, Cherrina?" He asked again.

"No just Marcelines friend" Oh gosh .. Lord help me get out of this situation. I hope my sweat won't come out or else the disguise might be ruined. Marceline girly help me please.

"I met her two weeks ago. She's one of a kind . We hangout often and she's a really good song writer!"Marceline covered me. Thank you Marceline. Really Thank you. If only you can hear what I'm saying in my mind.

"I see." Finn gave me his smile yet to be honest he looks awful.. There are bags under his eyes and he looks pale.

"Hey what's your name boy-yo" I asked Finn.

"Well my name is Finn."

"He's a human and I'm his brother Jake, I'm a dog" Jake added while Marceline sat on a rock near us, watching me talk to them.

"Are you okay Finn? You look exhausted" I asked

"Y-yeah I think" Finn started rubbing the back of his hat.

"He's not okay.. He kept thinking about Y/n, a friend of his. Maybe you can also help us find her. She looks identical to Ice King, same colored hair, skin and dress" Jake explained and requested at the same time.

"By the way Cherrina.. Are you okay? " Finn asked.

"Of course I am. What makes you think i'm not?"

"Well you're trembling" Finn said.

"And you smell like dead animals" Jake added.. Oh my gosh Jake.. I facepalmed in my mind.

"Well Cherrina is a shy girl in front of boys, ya know?" Marceline winked at them.

"And she bury dead animals for a living" Marceline added.

"That is indeed different " Jake said..

"Why don't we look for Y/n?" Jake asked all of us.

"Can't we just hangout for once? Y/n decided to leave and she haven't come back yet. So it seems that Y/n's probably alright" Marceline said.

"Yeah but not sure if Finn..." Jake was looking at Finn as if he's asking for approval.

"Alright let's just put that aside. Let's have some movie marathon instead" Finn suggested and we all agreed .

Everyone head straight into Finn and Jakes living room where BMO is, except for Finn, he's currently sitting on the grass besides the door with his cheek on top of his palm, sighing now and then

"Hey human. What's with the depression? Marceline said Y/n is going to be alright" I tried cheering him up plus I feel delighted to know Finn was worrying about me but right now after seeing how he looks like, my heart kept on hurting.. We're so close yet so far.

"I wanna apologize to Y/n. I know she's just saving me but I've taken advantage of her kidness and kissed her eventhough we both knew, I have a girlfriend." Finn hugged his knees thinking about...Well.. Me..

"Why would you kiss her though?" I asked to avoid suspicions.

"I don't know... I just.. Argh I don't know.."

"How long have you been thinking about her?" I asked.. To be honest, I also wanted to know everything.

"Since the day she left. All I was thinking about is her. Even when I'm with my girlfriend, she's still the one I'm thinking about. Her face, her hair, her personality.. Even if we just knew each other for a short time she already became inportant to me.. Without her I feel incomplete" Did I just listened to a confession.. Oh gosh..

"What is Y/n's role in your life then?"

"She's a really good friend" Finn asnwered without ever looking at me as Cherrina..

"How about your girlfriend, what do you think of her now?"

"To be honest.. I don't know anymore. I'm starting to see some changes from her"

"Well girls have a peculiar way of thinking ya know. Jealousy can change a lot of things. You need to observe your feeling more this time" I adviced.

"You think Y/n would come back?"

"Not sure Finn. She is a friend right? Let her do what she likes. If she comes back then thank the heavens if not then don't force her to"

"You mean I should give up looking for her?"

"Yes Finn. She probably don't want to ruin your relationship with your girlfriend"

"Maybe you're right"

"Let's go join the others" I pulled Finn by the arm towards the living room.

((After an hour and a half))

"Cherrina, can you visit more often? I badly need some girl listener" Finn asked me.

"What about your gf?"

"She wouldn't be around for another week" Finn answered while scratching the back of his hat.

"Alright. See you tomorrow then" I said while waving my hand and walking away.

-------------------------------------------------------

((3RD PERSON POV))

Y/n proved her words by visiting Finn and Jake again while wearing the same disguise Marceline gave her.

This specific hangout had been expanded hours by hours, day by day till it turned into a week. Finn became too attached to Cherrina, he can't stand not seeing her for a day and the longer they're together, the better he forget about Y/n

"It's been a week of our friendship. Would you like something as a gift. For example, a friendship bracelet of some sort" Y/n maintained her self image as Cherrina, a positive friend Finn has.

She met more of Finn's side, even the most embarrassing part of him. Y/n is starting to feel at home, besides Finn and they both share the same connection.

"I don't need anything. You being here is enough.. I always wanna thank you for all the help you provided" Finn rubs his nape upon talking to the bashful Cherrina beside him.

BMO offered a new downloadable game in his system so Finn, Jake and Cherrina test it out.

Everything seems fun, some sort of excitement in their hearts bonded all three of them together as if a brotherhood began.

But..

"I am back Finn! Did you missed me?! I finally finish my responsibilities" A familiar fire creature entered the tree house, greeting them with a new set of firey smile.

"Fp welcome back" Finn should be happy knowing his girlfriend returned , yet he knows in his chest, not a single joy, drummed his heart.

"Why are you not excited to see me?" Flame Princess approached the yellow haired teen, planning to take him in her arms but before the fire girl even touched Finn, her eyes was attracted by the cherry looking lady sitting besides him.

"Another b****! Don't come near my man!!" Flame Princess usual color turned darker after allowing herself to drown with envy.

"Get out! I said out!" Flame princess yelled from her usual anger again and again.

"Stop Fp. She's just a friend." Finn explained yet no matter how hard he tried convincing the flaming girl, she never listened.

Her states of mind turned furious as she started throwing fire balls at Cherrina with full speed till the cherry girl's disguise burn into a crisp.. Accidentally revealing her true identity.

"Y/n?" Finn mumbled but loud enough for everyone to hear.

Jake gasped at the site. Finn on the other hand shown a face Y/n have not seen before.. A face of disappointment.

"Now I have more reasons to burn you!!" Flame Princess shouted.

"Fp..." Finn called with his draining energy.

"Now Y/n.. DIE!" Flame Princess yelled moulding another fire ball in her hands.

"FP!!" Finn yelled with a strong sense of superiority, telling the princess how senseless she become.

"Flame Princess. I had enough of all your selfish desires. I thought it's like a fairytale having you in my life, your giggles, your smile, your laugh or even when you're shy. Those things made my day. It was all nice.. Then.. Suddenly I've seen so many sides of you, those broke my heart . Now I feel distant..."

"Finn.. What do you mean?"

"Fp.. I can't stand seeing you hurt my friends anymore. I've seen you do it once and I never want to see it again...." Finn's eyes immediately shifted towards the ground before his mouth opened to say a few words.

"Let's break up"

"No!! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Fp became hysterical. Her fire grew even more larger than before and the flames swallowed the entire house, leaving all the creatures burning inside.. But.. Y/n can't accept FP's actions. A bright light emitted from her body as she used her full strength putting out the whole fire. Fp is strong but Y/n's way more stronger. At this moment Y/n have won thhe battle.

"No..No...No" Fp lost all of her strength, flames on her body turned blue and weak. Finn knelt down in front of her, pulling her into a hug.

"Fp.. You are an amazing girl, talented, strong but I was not the man destined for you. I'm sure you'll meet that man someday and he will give you eveything you expected" Finn told her, his last words.

"I will return! And when I do.. I'll kill all of you!" Fp's flames returned pushing Finn away.

"No you won't" Said Y/n.

"I'll make sure you can never return." Y/n covered half of the house with her ice magic, creating crystal like patterns at every wood.

"These ice crystals will detect you Flame Princess. Once they do you'll die instantly. Right now I deactivated this power but I will activate it later on" Y/n grinned at her ruthless words, sending shivers down Fl's spine.

She immediately flew away from the tree house till she went out of sight.

"Woah really Y/n?" Jake asked.

"Nope . I just said that to scare her. Now she won't be able to return " Y/n sighed worrying about Finn's feelings.

"Buddy ?" Jake tried calling out to Finn but he's staring at the window with sad eyes.

"Don't worry Finn. I'm sure you'll meet your future wife someday and nearer as expected" Jake reassure Finn.

"It's not about Fp.. I'm just disappointed, a special friend of mine lied" Finn said in a sad tone making Y/n regret everything she does.

"I don't feel like talking to her anymore" Everyone can now see how disappointed Finn had been.

"Finn. I'm sorry.. I really did left cause I don't wanna be a hindrance towards your relationship with Flame Princess but then after leaving.. Marceline still brought me here, I've heard lots of things in a day .. Those things made me realize one thing... I can't stand seeing you in a lonely state. I want to make you happy." Y/n gave her heartfelt words.

Yet Finn went back to his room without saying a word nor returning her gaze..

"Just give him more time Y/n. Currently his problems piled up. Soon he might talk to you" Jake told her.

"Y/n.. For now stay here, alright? Live with us again" Jake asked.

"Alright"
