*Finn's Age: 18*

Flame Queen's P.O.V

"....and that's how Lemongrab got a bucket of strawberry jelly in the face" Finn says, concluding his story. 

I burst out in laughter, finding what he says to be absolutely hilarious. Finn and I walk side by side in one of the many corridors of my palace. We were just catching up on the day's events and Finn was excited to share his encounter with the Earl of Lemongrab with me. Apparently, the yellow-faced sauerkraut was being awfully pessimistic and Finn wanted to prank him to get him all embarrassed. With the help of some ice and a container of strawberry jam, let's just say that Lemongrab got into a real 'sticky' situation.

"So, how was your day, my queen?" Finn asks sweetly. 

I blush at his politeness and think extensively. After all, when you rule over a great many people that constantly ask questions and demand some kind of political action, it gets hard to talk about something fun after such an exhausting time.

"Well, I don't want to bore you with princess business, but a few citizens had their houses damaged by a firestorm last week and were requesting some aid. Me and, reluctantly, my brother volunteered to help and in no time, the two houses were back to their full potential" I explain, recalling the memory as my hands ache slightly. 

Finn smiles, leans over, and pecks me on the cheek.

"Sounds like you have the blood of a hero in you, Phoebe" My boyfriend compliments. 

I feel my cheeks burn up at his kind words, which is impressive for a fire elemental such as myself. I return the gesture by reaching over, grabbing his hand, and pecking him on his cheek as well. Finn and I had been dating again since that whole mess with Bonnibel's relatives has been solved. I knew there was a special place in my heart for him ever since we had our first relationship. I couldn't be more proud to call him my boyfriend. Finn's just so kind, sweet, and considerate. He really changed, being more mindful of his actions and of what I would like to do sometimes. One of the many reasons why I love him.

I lead Finn down the hall further and around the corner to our right, coming across a winding staircase. We go up the spiraling steps and when we reach the top, I guide my boyfriend to a door just a bit farther away. It's the door to my bedroom. I open the door and pull Finn behind me. I'm pretty sure that he hasn't seen it yet, so this should be an even more interesting experience. What most people probably know is that a bedroom is used for two things: sleeping and Tier 15. Just from those options, it may or may not be clear of what I want to do with my boyfriend next. We didn't 'do it' during our first go around of dating because we were both younger at the time. We may still be too young, but at this point, I don't care anymore. I want to show Finn how much I care for him and I think this will be the way to do it.

"Finn?" I say, getting him to look at me, "Could you help me take this armor off?"

"Sure, as long as you don't mind" He nods.

Finn then proceeds to unfasten and pull off my armor piece by piece. Normally, I'd do it myself and/or help him with it, but given the fact I'm pretty aroused right now, I like it better that he's doing it since it feels like he's taking off my clothes. Which he technically is, but there's still one more layer underneath. Once my royal armor is off and lying on the ground, I stand by quietly, doing my best to temper the steaming urges rising up as Finn looks around my bedroom.

"Hmm, so this is your bedroom, huh? Weird, I hadn't ever seen it before" Finn remarks, having never seen this part of the palace before. 

I only nod in response and though it might just be me hallucinating, I think I catch him sneaking a peak at my chest area. I feel my heart rate increase drastically and my lust beginning to grow, thinking he wants it just like I want him. Gotta take this next part slow and steady, though. Bad Princess Bubblegum had talked about my elemental matrix being unstable and stuff, causing my emotions to be all over the place. Finn is a tad fragile and inexperienced with this stuff anyway. I walk up behind my hero and rub his tense shoulders comfortingly. I feel goosebumps run through his skin and him relax into my touch as I tenderly kiss him on the neck under his chin. A queen must take care of her champion, after all, since he no longer serves Bubblegum in that regard. After a moment or two of this, Finn turns around and gazes right into my eyes. With the lust propelling me, I pounce on Finn and lock my legs around his torso. I hold myself against him by securing my arms around his neck and feverishly press our lips together as I grind my body against his anxiously.

I feel Finn kiss me back and run one of his hands up my right leg. I moan more audibly when his hand goes under my dress, under my underwear, and touches my butt. I pull him forwards, staggering us in the direction of my bed. We collapse right on top of it and I flip us over so that I'm on top, straddling my hero with both of my legs. Both of his hands now firmly clench my butt and I work on attacking his neck with my lips before greedily kissing him again. I don't know how far I want this to go, but one thing's for certain. I'm definitely not going to stop until he's satisfied.

Marceline's P.O.V

You know what's really heartbreaking? Seeing your crush get back together with his ex-girlfriend. The cute boy, Finn the Human, has gotten back together with that hot-headed ruler of the Fire Kingdom, Phoebe Flame Princess. I was just about to ask him out on a date when that temperamental bitch beat me to it. I sit and sigh, sadness and regret filling the void of my no-longer beating heart. I've kicked back and tried to relax on top of Finn's treehouse, wearing my gloves, hat, a red leather jacket, a darker red shirt underneath, black jeans, and grey shoes while tossing rocks into the pond below. There has got to be some way to clear my heart of all this guilt. And then, an idea pops into my head. If I can catch Finn while he's alone and not with that fiery bitch, I can at least tell him that I like him and let him decide from there. Even if he says no, which he probably will, I will have at confessed what I've felt about him.

I pick up my bass and swing it over my back. Finn is more than likely at the Fire Kingdom right now, but through way of invisibility, I can sneak in without alerting anyone else of my presence. Once inside, I'll find him, tell him how I feel, and leave. Sounding like a good idea as any, I reactivate my floating and head off for the royally hot kingdom of flames and fiery damnation. I speed my way towards it, but when I get close, I remember the flame shield enchantment. It would probably be best since I'm not entirely immune to extreme heat. I recall what Finn had told me and make the symbols with my pinkies. They hover in mid air, like me, and after all are chanted, disappear. Looking down at myself, I see that I've gone blue, meaning that I clearly did it right.

With my bod all nice and fire-proof, I keep going, entering the realm of fire. I fly over the houses and lava spots, looking around for Finn. It kinda makes me cringe every time I come here, cause it reminds me way too much of my Dad's kingdom. I scan around and with some careful searching, I spot Flame Princess' palace. Finn will be there, more than likely. I fly up to it and steer clear of the guards waiting below. I figure the best way to get inside without having to sneak past the flame soldiers is to find a window that I can open with a bit of force. I do a full sweep around the palace and find many windows, but one stands out from the rest. It's an arched window on the east side of the palace. I circle back around to it and upon looking inside, I quickly come to realize that it's Phoebe's bedroom. Her royal armor and dress have been thrown to the side, resting only a few feet away from my current position while she and Finn are on her bed. And as I watch them, both without clothes on and passionately doing Tier 15, I feel a sick and uncomfortable feeling fill my stomach as my face contorts into a horrified expression. And though it might be wrong and naughty of me to think this, I wish I was in Flame Queen's place right now.

But then something happens. When both of them release into each other, Flame Queen, probably unintentionally radiates an explosive heat wave outward. This doesn't affect her, but Finn is knocked off her bed, onto the floor, and gets his flame shield destroyed in the process. Due to the extreme heat, Finn's skin begins turning black and crispy, his pained screams ringing out in the air. Phoebe is too much in bliss from having her first time that she doesn't notice this right away, but when she gathers her strength to sit up, her expression becomes horrified and she rushes over to him. Still naked, Flame Queen panics to try and save her knight, but it's then when I bust through the window and fly over to them. Phoebe looks over in shock, surprised and not really happy to see me, probably due to her compromising position, but doesn't immediately say anything until I scoop Finn up in my arms.

"Just what are you doing here?!" She demands angrily, trying to cover herself with her hands.

"Shut up and listen. Finn's in clear pain right now and so I'm taking him to the hospital. I assume you know where so meet me there if you can. He can't very well wait for you to put your clothes back on, can he?" I reply with plenty of sass.

Before Flame Queen has a chance to snap back or shoot one of her fireballs at me, I fly out the window and zip through the Fire Kingdom as fast as I can, reaching the entrance in record time. But even when Finn and I cross over into less scorching territories, he's still gritting his teeth and groaning in pain, which nearly makes me cry even though I need to focus. When I get to the hospital, I barge through the doors, not caring that I'm not supposed to do that, and get the attention of one of the nearby nurses. She sees Finn's condition and urgently ushers me over to a spare bed, to which I gently lay him down on and hover near his bedside with no intention of leaving. More nurses quickly come over and begin assessing the situation, but right as they go to ask me what happened to him, Flame Queen barges in the room too, her clothes hastily thrown back on with her hair all out of wack without her crown. She runs over to Finn's bedside and tries to talk to him, but the nurses go asking her the same question they asked me, probably judging by the type of wounds he has.

"Well.............we were..." Phoebe blushes, no doubt feeling embarrassed to disclose the exact details of what Finn and her were just doing.

"They were doing Tier 15 and she exploded on him, which dispelled his flame shield" I say bluntly, not having any shame in saying it even though the fire elemental glares angrily at me.

"....I see" Nurse Poundcake nods, Phoebe looking at the ground in embarrassment, "I won't ask any further questions, but we will need to put Finn on a breathing apparatus. Though his exposure to the Fire Kingdom's environment was brief, all things considered, the toxic fumes within its atmosphere will damage his lungs and vocal chords if we don't begin treating him."

The nurses then start applying burn salve on pretty much his whole body, him still being completely bare and that fact only making it worse for him since there were no clothes to temporarily halt the burns. A few of the staff then walk away and hurry back a minute later with a machine on wheels, them plugging it in and putting the breathing mask over Finn's mouth. Nurse Poundcake tells him not to panic, since this machine will help clear his lungs, Finn nodding as the machine activates. More salve is applied and Phoebe and I both blush when we see it get applied to his...thing. I feel tempted to ask the staff to cover him before the image is stuck in my head forever, but I ultimately can't open my mouth.

"Marceline" Finn croaks, temporarily removing his breathing mask.

The staff try to put it back on him and keep me away as I float closer, but he waves them off, letting me hover only inches away.

"There's cyclops tears in the treehouse. Look on my nightstand" Is all he's able to say before a coughing fit strikes.

The dry, deep sounds of his coughs are like stabs in the chest for me to hear, Flame Queen trying to keep herself from profusely trembling in sadness at the sight. She sees the burn scars like I do and she must feel terrible, probably blaming herself for Finn being in the state that he's in. Finn then puts the breathing mask back on and lays back, letting the hospital staff resume what they're doing.

"I just wanted to show him how much he meant to me" Flame Queen sniffles, sad at seeing her boyfriend in so much pain, "That's all I wanted." 

"I know you did" I reply, keeping any hostility out of my tone for the moment to avoid a potential fight breaking out between us, "Stay with him. I'll be back once I have the cyclops tears."

"What good will those do?" She questions, evidently not having heard about their healing capabilities before.

"They're a magical liquid, Matchstick" I sigh, some of my impatience slipping through from having to needlessly explain things I don't want to have to explain, "They heal all wounds. Finn and his brother came across some a while back on one of their adventures. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go get them."

I leave the room without another word, flying quickly out of the hospital and toward Finn's treehouse. As I fly there, I can't help but think that it's better that I keep Flame Queen away from Finn from now on. She's proven to be too great a risk to his health and I, for one, won't allow it. I'll be a much better replacement girlfriend for Finn and, if he wants it, an even greater lover too. But that's only if he wants me in return, because I wouldn't ever force myself onto him.

The treehouse comes quickly into view and I bust through Finn's bedroom window, immediately finding and grabbing the cyclops tears he talked about before going back the way I came. But once the hospital draws close, I begin to form a plan in my head, one that involves me taking him while Flame Queen's distracted and keeping him at my place. I'll nurse him back to health, like he'd do for me in a heartbeat, and I'll have us go on plenty of fun adventures that'll surely get him to like me.

Turning invisible, I float my way into the hospital and through the corridors until I'm back in the room where Finn, Flame Queen, and the nurses are. Finn is out cold now while Phoebe and Nurse Poundcake speak a short distance away so that they don't wake him. I hover over to Finn's bedside, but wait to grab him since I pick up on an interesting little tidbit of information they're discussing.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it's your place to be telling me where I can have my boyfriend" Flame Queen angrily retorts.

"Yes, but as a medical professional and the authority that comes with such a title, I am forbidding Finn from entering the Fire Kingdom for at least a year. This is for the safety of Ooo and for his own, since such an accident can't happen again. Cyclops tears aren't very common, you know, so the Vampire Queen won't always be able to fetch some for him" Nurse Poundcake replies tersely.

"A year?!" Flame Queen exclaims, then lowering her tone as to not accidentally wake Finn, "It was just an accident! I didn't mean to hurt him and I would never dream of it!"

"I'm sure you wouldn't, but this is merely a precaution" The dessert states calmly.

"You can take your precaution and shove it where the sun don't shine" Phoebe snaps, crossing her arms.

To distract the two, I gingerly pick up a syringe from a nearby table and chuck it over their heads and into the hallway just past them. The sound makes both their heads turn and I use that moment to take the breathing mask off Finn, pick him up in my arms, and fly out of the room in a hurry. I'm sure that someone sees us escaping, and I think I can hear Flame Queen scream my name out in anger, but I merely smile and fly out of the hospital, heading for the nearest forest. Why there? Because I need to throw Flame Queen off my trail and not just lead her right back to my home, which, given how pissed she sounded, would probably end in my place getting burnt to the ground.

I luckily find a forest nearby and set Finn down against a trunk, hovering in front of him as I take out the cyclops tears and start healing him, failing to hold back a blush when I trickle some over his exposed boy parts. The outer burn scars and other surface wounds are easy to fix, but the harder part will be healing his throat and lungs. I sigh in relief as his skin goes back to normal, but after I pour a bit down his throat, and he swallows unconsciously, I then frown and pour a little inside both of his nostrils. That wakes him up and he coughs and coughs, the healing tears sloshing around in his lungs before getting coughed up on the ground. He quickly calms down and looks up at me, smiling and hugging me as his non-verbal way of saying 'thanks for saving me'. I smile hug him back, the warmth of his healed skin against my own cold skin really being alluring.

But when I smell smoke and look up to see a large fireball streaking across the sky in our direction, I grab Finn, put him in my lap, and put my hand over his mouth to keep him from speaking. As I suspected, the fireball lands a bit back from the tree we're behind and turns into Flame Queen, a furious sneer on her face while her eyes are glowing yellow. She must've eventually followed me after catching on to what I was doing.

"Marceline! Where are you?!" The fire elemental snaps loudly, "If you don't come out right this instant and give me back my boyfriend, I'm going to roast you alive, peel your skin off, and have your bones broken one by one!"

Glob damn! I've never seen her this mad before. But I don't answer, Finn looking up at me in confusion, though I can't tell if it's because he doesn't know why Flame Queen's mad at me or because I'm preventing him from answering her. After half a minute of standing there waiting, Phoebe's small about of patience fades and she shoots into the sky heading towards some other kingdom off in the distance. Once she's gone, I take my hand off Finn's mouth and float again, Finn standing up and just now realizing that he's without any clothes.

"What happened to my clothes?" He exclaims, looking down at himself before looking at me, "Did we-?"

"Oh, glob, no" I reply, embarrassed that that's the first thing he thinks, even though I kind of wish it was true, "The nurses had to remove your clothes to try and heal your wounds before I got the tears. Speaking of which, how are you feeling?"

"Like brand new, but a bit chilly, since...you know" Finn answers, not needing to finish.

"Well, come back with me to my place. You have some of my clothes before we get you some of your own back" I say, trying to get him to voluntarily agree to come to my house.

"Why not just go to the treehouse?" He asks, me silently cursing that he asked what I didn't want him to ask.

"C'mon, Finn, I want to spend some time with my best bud in the entire world. Unless you don't want to spend time with me?" I reply, fake pouting.

"Well I guess when you put it like that" The hero shrugs in acceptance.

"Perfect" I grin, my pout dropping as instantly as I grab him in my arms. 

I fly us back to my cave and house as soon as possible, keeping a constant look out for that hot-headed Flame Queen along the way. But once I enter the cave, open my door, and deposit Finn on the ground, I close the door, lock it, and shut the curtains.

"What's going on, Marcy?" Finn asks, watching me hover around, "What's going on with you and Phoebe?"

"She's rather angry right now, which I'm sure you can tell, so I thought it'd be better to hide out here until she's calmed down" I answer him, not technically lying as I grab his hand and guide him over to my couch, "Now, wait here and I'll get you some clothes."

And, with that, I float upstairs and open my closet. Though I'm quite enjoying seeing him like he is, and getting even more jealous that Flame Queen's getting it all to herself, it's best he doesn't feel uncomfortable. I pick up some stuff I think will fit him and go back downstairs, setting in on the table and letting Finn get changed as I turn around. When he's done, I turn back around and marvel at how good he looks in my clothes, a black skull shirt and ripped jeans being all that he's wearing. And it's probably from the fact that he's wearing my clothes that I'm a bit more turned on right now, knowing that it's mine and not Phoebe's.

"Not bad, Hero" I tease him, "You might actually be able to pull off a style like that."

"Hehe, yeah, I don't think it's quite a look I could easily fit into, but still, thanks for letting me borrow some of your clothes."

"Think nothing of it" I wave off, floating lazily in place.

Finn then sits down on my couch as I slink through the air until I'm hovering next to him. I internally sigh and swallow hard, thinking that this is my moment to tell him how I feel.

"Finn, I have a...confession to make" I tell him, the boy turning towards me as I put my hand over his, "I..am...in love with you. And, and, before you say anything, yes, I'm aware that you're dating Flame Queen. I'm not telling you this because I want you to break up with her because of me. I just wanted to tell you rather than not ever having the chance too."

The front door then suddenly explodes, knocking me backwards into the air and making Finn fall off the couch and onto his butt. And through the now destroyed door comes Flame Queen, looking just as pissed as when she was when I evaded her not that long ago. I wonder how she found me, since I've never shown her my home before, but I guess at this point it doesn't really matter that much. Her teeth are bared, but she doesn't say anything at first, only glancing at myself, then Finn, then back to me.

"I should've expected this from you, Vampire Queen!" The hotheaded fire elemental seethes, "Always nosing into other business and ruining it. Now you try to take my boyfriend from me and seduce him into becoming yours instead?! You've gone too far this time and now you've invoked not just the wrath of the Flame Queen, but the entire Fire Kingdom too!"

"I was only intending on telling him how I felt. Whether he would want to have me as his girlfriend would be up to him. Contrary to what is whispered about me behind my back, I'm not a heartless monster that just destroys and takes whatever she wants. I would never force Finn into a relationship that he didn't want in the first place" I tell her firmly, then looking to Finn, who's picked himself off the ground and is looking at us argue, "Finn? Be honest. Have I ever tried to coerce you into something you didn't want to do."

"What does coerce mean?" The boy frowns, not knowing the word.

"It means, did she pressure you into liking her or did she throw herself onto you and had her way with you without your consent?" Phoebe asks heatedly.

"No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Marceline has not done that to me!" Finn answers, waving his hands back and forth, "Sure, she confessed, but she didn't go any further than that!"

"See?" I gesture towards Finn, "He's said it and I wouldn't ask him to lie to you after that was quite an issue with you two in the past."

The fire queen calms down quite a bit, but she's still visibly angry and doesn't look like she wants to forgive me for what I did anytime soon.

"I still don't like it" Flame Queen snaps, crossing her arms and pouting as she leans up against the door frame, "And, while we're on that topic, what was your answer to her question?"

"He never gave me an answer since you barged in right when he was about to" I reply pointedly, upset that she destroyed my door and fully intending on making her pay for a new one.

"Two things, one, I didn't ask for your opinion, and two, put yourself in my place and let's how you act" The fire elemental tells me snidely before returning her attention to Finn, "But what were you going to tell her?"

"Well....I was going to tell her that I already have a queen, so I can't return her feelings. And that it would feel wrong because having two girlfriends is probably against some ethical or moral law or something" Finn answers, my heart sinking as Flame Queen walks up to her boyfriend and hugs him, even though she didn't cast flame shield on him.

"Thank you, Finn" She smiles, pecking him on the cheek and leaving a mark, "But, actually, there isn't any law against polygyny. Not that I'm trying to promote you get with Marceline, but many rulers don't segregate against it, including me. Heck, there are even some of my citizens within the Fire Kingdom that do it."

"Well, I'm a queen too! Why can't I be your queen as well, Finn?" I protest, more hurt at his answer than I'd like to admit, but willing to fight about it, "You heard what she said and by 'can't return your feelings', does that mean you do have those feelings towards me but just don't want to return them just because of your commitment to Flame Queen?"

"Uh..." The boy hesitates, glancing at Phoebe, who watches him with curiosity, "...yes."

"Then why don't we start one of those shared relationships?" I ask, trying not exasperate my words too much, "We can all be happy with that option."

"So you're saying that won't try to take him for yourself by making him break up with me?" Flame Queen asks, raising an eyebrow, "That you will let him love me just as equally as he cares for you without hogging all his attention?"

"Yes" I nod, sincerely meaning it.

".....Wow....I..uh...didn't expect that" Phoebe admits, caught off-guard by my answer, "Ok, then. I admit that I judged you unfairly, Marceline. So, Finn, are you absolutely sure that you want to enter into this relationship that now includes the vampire?"

"As long as you're ok with it, yes" Finn nods, making me smile happily.

"Then let's sign this 'pact between queens' document and make it official" Flame Queen nods, summoning a fire purse and pulling a scroll out.

She then walks over to my kitchen table and sets it down, the fire scroll losing its fire the second it touches the surface. The three of us then circle around it and read the contents of the pact.

"Didn't know you kept this on-hand. Is there something in your and Finn's relationship that I need to know about?" I slightly tease the fire elemental.

"No, you don't. Bubblegum is the one that actually gave me after a princess meeting. It was a couple years ago and she introduced it to me as an idea for her and me to share Finn when he turned 18. I kept the document, but didn't give her a definite answer at the time" She replies in an 'not amused' tone, signing her name where it's needed.

I then keep reading the scroll and grab the pen from Phoebe, signing my name where it supposed to go too. All that's left is for Finn to sign it and it's official, which he does after asking me for the pen and signing it without question. Phoebe then smiles and takes the document off the table, it igniting to life again as she rolls it back up and sticks it back in her purse.

"Well, there's nothing else to say besides he's your boyfriend now too, Marceline" She says.

I take that moment and float up to Finn before kissing him passionately, all my worry, stress, and sadness melting away in that moment. But what adds to it is the fact that he kisses me back. It's a sweet little show of affection, but neither of us make Phoebe uncomfortable by prolonging it.

"And..uh..there was something I wanted to offer us to do together, Finn. And I guess you too, Marceline since you're part of this relationship now" She hesitantly admits.

"Sure, what is it?" I ask, crossing my legs and lying back in mid-air.

"Well, I was going to offer that we could go to the Fire Kingdom's Lava Springs as a couple. Since I'm queen, I have unquestioned access, which means anyone I bring with me is spoken for. But that was before...you know" Phoebe scratches the back of her neck uncomfortably, "And though I don't like having to take orders from other princesses, much less those that aren't, I don't want to disobey Nurse Poundcake and have her on my case."

"Why, what'd she say?" Finn frowns, crossing his arms.

"She forbade you from entering the Fire Kingdom for a year and that any requests for aid or assistance needs to be given in-person in a neutral location outside the kingdom or sent by messenger to your house" She answers, not happy about it at all, "Supposedly, it's for safety means so that you don't nearly die again. And as angry as it makes me, since we both know it was an accident, I have to agree with her. I couldn't bear it if I lost you over a simple accident."

"Pfft, don't listen to that lump of sugar" I wave off, both of them turning to me, "They tend to over-worry about everything. They take after Bonnibel more than they know. If you want to go spend some time in your hot springs so that you, and especially I, can have some relaxing and enticing time with Finn, then let's go! It's not like they're going to come over and check, are they?"

"True...but how will our boyfriend be safe after what just happened earlier?" Flame Queen asks, an idea coming to mind as I float back into the living room and start rummaging around under the cushions, "I don't trust flame shield to do the trick anymore. And what are you doing? Are you even paying attention?!"

"I am, I am, keep your panties on" I respond, finding the amulet I had lost under there and returning to the others, slipping it around Finn's neck, "There we go. I used to wear that whenever I'd screw around in the Fire Kingdom and didn't know about the stronger fire resistance spell only us vampires could use. I never got hurt while wearing it. Keep it, Finn. I looks better on you than it ever did on me."

"Thanks, Marcy" He nods to me.

"Think of it as your first gift from your new girlfriend" I smile, kissing him on the cheek and winking at him.

"Well, ok, then. Let's go" Phoebe smiles, actually looking excited now.

The three us then leave my house, but not before I point out the fact that she owes me a door. Flame Queen assures me that she'll pay for a new one and our little trio sets off for the Fire Kingdom. We arrive when dinner has passed and the citizens have mostly gone home, the streets being rather desolate. Phoebe however, doesn't lead us towards her castle, instead having us take a different path that leads into some caves off to the west. Upon entering, I see these craters filled with lava and flame citizens relaxing in them. But instead of going for one of them, the guards notice their queen and, without her needing to say anything, guide us down a side path carved into the rock, stopping at a separate room that's more isolated from the others with two other guards standing watch outside it. Flame Queen tells us that this is our own private lava spring and that nobody will bother us here, her smiling as we go inside.

The room is circular in shape with a medium height ceiling, apparently having been carved out of the rock just like the hallway we went down to get here. The lava inside the crater is bubbling and looks so hot that I can't wait to jump in and try it out. Finn looks excited too, though also a bit nervous. Flame Queen assures him that it'll be fine and I do the same. She then begins taking off her clothes, not bothering to ask Finn to turn around since they've already seen each other nude by this point. But the hero does get red-faced when I start taking off my clothes in front of him. And I'll admit that I think my body is pretty well-developed, but Finn's embarrassment makes me feel even more complimented. Flame Queen then eases herself into the lava and lets out a relieved sigh. I then lower myself into the lava too and feel such a warm and pleasing sensation wash over my body.

But then Phoebe and I turn and watch Finn, waiting for him to disrobe too. And once he realizes why we're staring at him, he swallows and slowly removes his clothes. I hear Phoebe's breathing tremble as the last of his clothes come off, her probably not used to it yet. I, however, have to keep from touching myself at the sight, Finn then lowering himself into the lava. Once he's in, Flame Queen and I scoot closer so that we're both touching our bodies with his. The hero smiles as Phoebe laughs and hugs him from the side, laying her head on his shoulder as she looks up at him. I copy her, but also give Finn another kiss on the cheek, feeling like I can never give him enough of those.
