章 5: 5 . Jake the dog and his growing worry
POV : JAKE
He was worried , very , very worried . Finn had suffered a head injury that had knocked him out instantly and he had not woken up yet !! It was right after they had helped that stupid crying mountain . And how had he repaid them , crushing a boulder on his best bro's head !!
He knew it was a bad idea to help a talking pile of stone , like what large piece of rock just casually starts talking .
But it was a mistake . And Finn would be alright . He was a tough kid who had taken harsher knocks . Yes , he had to be alright !!
- Pacing around the room -
It was his job as a big brother to make sure that Finn was alright , and he had failed . He failed Finn !! And now he was dead .
" sob sob waahhh waahhh . Finn I'm sorry . I'll make sure to burry your body properly . And . . . and . . . I'll even bake you your favorite Finn cupcakes . Waahhh " Jake had never been more disappointed with himself .
Such a response would have looked normal for an outward observer but it was not . Jake himself had bandaged Finn after the incident and had made sure that he was alright , leaving him comfortable to sleep on the bed . Such a response was clearly not normal .
In short , this was nothing more than an exaggeration on Jake's part . His wild imagination practically cursing the person who should be healing to a death that had not happened . In fact , Jake the dog was already imagining the funeral procession and the speech he would be making and the tears once again came to him .
" Jake !! " A very familiar voice screamed , easily reaching his twitching dog ears , making them twitch more vigorously
Jake suddenly stopped crying . And looked around confused . Was that his best bud . Was his soul still watching over him past the earthly realm !! . That was just like Finn , always ever Kind and Loving . Jake would remember him always .
" Jake !! " His dog ears enlarged to pick up all sounds in the tree house and he could finally hear it clearly . Yes , the noise was coming from their bedroom . The muffled shouting of a childish voice he was very familiar with .
The bedroom he had placed Finn's injured body !!
" Oh Glob !! Finn's awake ! Wait for me you sweet summer child , Ima coming ! " He stretched past the floor boards , shrinking until he was tiny enough and resizing back to his original size up in their bedroom .
Where he was met with the site of a white mummy crawling on Finn's bed , fiercely struggling to break free but failing each time . Now that he was looking at it with a calm mind , it was kind of funny . Hehe
" Jake !! " Finn's voice came again and Jake rushed forward to rescue his best bud from the bandage monster that had eaten him up !!
" Huyaahh " He used his awesome fighting moves to free Finn from the clutches of the bandages . He learned them from his dad .
Finn breathed out fiercely as if he were trapped and had finally escaped .
" Finn , your finally awake . I was so worried . " Jake tightly hugged Finn stretching his hands around him in a tight hug .
" Can't . . . . breathe ! " Jake pulled back and stared up at Finn's increasingly purple face and quickly pulled back .
- Coughing -
" I'm sorry Finn . . . are you alright . " Jake had noticed there was something strange about Finn . Something only he could notice . He felt that Finn had changed but he could not tell how . There was no visible change but Jake was sure Finn was different ! Or was it the bump on his head . It looked to be reduced though .
" I'm alright bro . . .Just , a little tired ! " Finn was taking deep breaths and Jake could see that the hug had done a number on him .
What was he doing ? Worrying about pointless things while his bro was passed out . Jake felt bad but he knew how to fix it , he would make his most famous chicken soup to aid in Finn's healing journey !!
A mixture of the finest spices , chicken, spring water , vegetables from the farmers market and lots of love and Finn would be brand new in a couple of days !! He had to get to it .
. . . .
POV : Finn
Yellow glossy hair and big round eyes , that was the first sight that caught Leo as soon as he saw his brother Jake , and then it was followed by what he would have considered strange if he did not have his memories from the past 10 years . A talking dog , no , a talking dog that had stretching powers !!
The new him surprisingly did not find this strange . It felt normal . Normal because this was normal in his mind . He was raised by his talking dog parent and the land of Ooo was equally not a normal place . But this still did not reduce the strangeness of it all , yes it was normal , but still strange . Like people saying the earth was flat . Very normal but still strange .
Finn could see the worry increase in Jakes eyes and the panic rise for whatever reason . Was he still worried about the hug , he shouldn't be . Finn was practically fine now . And he could not lie that he was very impressed with the amount of emotion he could see from Jake's face . It felt very fulfilling somehow
" Hey Jake , you're worrying over nothing , I'm perfectly fine . See . " Finn flexed his arm to show off his muscles . But he fell back on the bed feeling like a jolt of pain run through his head . Maybe he wasn't fine .
What exactly happened to him . He felt as if he was hit by a truck ! And now that he thought about it , why was he wrapped like he was about to be buried .
" What happened to me Bro ! My head weighs like a bag of stones , "
Finn felt natural . Calling this magical dog that he had grown up with his brother was very normal to him and why not . Jake was his brother from another mother , Father ? . His heart told him so and the memories that were with him could not be replaced just because of his new memories . That fact had solidified in his mind and would not change .
And having a magical talking Dog as a best pall was definitely the coolest thing ever !!
It was a fact that he would never deny and he readily accepted it . He felt warm knowing he still had family he could rely on , an older brother that despite his own failings , had tried to make sure that Finn was always safe and happy , and that was why he readily called Jake his brother . Maybe the Goddess wasn't as useless as he though .
" Wellllll . . . " Finn was not sure why he felt as if he would not like what Jake was about to tell him . And by the tone Jake had started with , he was very sure of it . But he was ready , he could take it . He was a strong guy .
" Lay it on me Jake . " He spoke seriously . He wanted to know . What had happened , were they fighting a strong monster or maybe was he exhausted after a long tiresome battle . His blue eyes sparkled in anticipation ! He needed to know !
" You were knocked out by a falling boulder dude . " His face fell and he knew his day was ruined . A boulder , he must have heard it wrong . Him , knocked out by a boulder , was his durability turned off or something .
" After we finished helping the crying mountain and helping the others fix their problems , a boulder by chance hit you in the head and knocked you out . You've been asleep for at least two hours Finn ! . . . Do you know how worried I was ! " At that moment everything became background noises .
It all slowly came back to him finally . Slowly but still painful . How the crying mountain for some reason did not like the violence of the marauders . How he had revealed his helping philosophy and how he had cleverly helped all the people solve their problem and finally how a boulder had landed on his head . It was a little painful to remember but at least he now knew what had happened .
Finn felt like he was being mothered as he listened to his brother and he chuckled at the warmth he felt rise in him , even overshadowing the his disappointment of being snipped by a boulder . A warmth he only felt before when he was with his father but now , he had a new family . A family he would do his best to make sure he never lost .
" Hahahahaha " He laughed . A happy and boisterous laugh that confused Jake but soon enough , Jake also joined in the laugh . Boosting the overall moral that was dropping in the room .
Why either of them was laughing the other did not know . It was simply a laugh that confirmed that both of them were okay . That despite the slight stumble , they were still there for each other .
" Huhhhh "
" Why are we laughing . " Jake finally asked and looked at Finn confused and Finn laughed some more .
" And also theirs a floating book that's been following you around . "
That quickly got Finn to almost choke on his saliva as he looked at Jake strangely . Had he also hit his head .
" Where ? " He asked more curiously to see what his lovable brother was talking about
" Behind you . It's been floating there for a while now . " Jake pointed almost obviously behind Finn and he turned his head stiffly around to look at the so called book .
And floating there right behind him , was . . . a floating book , un surprisingly . The book was prominently red and black with strange Kanji symbols and finally it had a green ninja mask motif at the center . Finn recognized the book . It was part of the wish he had been given .
More precisely it was part of the ninja pack he had acquired and he was therefor not very surprised at seeing it beside him .
" Oh look , a floating book . "
He saw Jake looking at him strangely and he wondered why . Did he expect him to get scared . Why would he . In his eyes , Finn thought a floating book was thousands time less scary than a talking mountain . At least a floating book he could somehow explain using his logic but a talking mountain !!
" Did you try touching it , " He asked the doubtful dog beside him curiously
" Of course not ! What if it has ghost germs ! "
END . . . . .
