   "That was actually pretty fun!" You said with a laugh.
"Its always fun donkin things up in the ice kingdom!" Finn answered as he rolled another large snowball down the hill. As it rolled it gathered up snow and got bigger and bigger. At the bottom it hit a snow golem, "Perfect hit!"
You shivered and smiled at him. Your breath came out in large buffs, so did Finns. He was wearing the same type of outfit he had been yesterday, plus a scarf, but you knew he had to be cold. Finn borrowed you some of his clothes until you two went to town to get some of your own. You placed your hands on your arms and vigorously rubbed them in an at temp to warm yourself. Finn rolled another ball down the hill with a laugh, but his smile dropped when he saw you. He stepped towards you, the snow crunching under his feet.
"Are you cold?" He asked, placing his warm hands on your frozen upper arms, "Why didn't you say something, you feel like ice!"
Finns arms wrapped around you in a strong warm embrace. He held you against his chest and ran his hands up and down your arms. Your head rested against him and you could hear his heart beating loud in his chest. You stood like that for a long while with him, just relaxing in his embrace.
"(N-Name)-" Finn was about to speak, until a loud throaty laugh filled your ears. One of his arms left your body but the other pulled you against his side. Finn was glaring up at the sky, with a green sword in his hand that seemed to come out of know where. You lightly clung to him and followed his gaze. A man, older looking with blue skin and long white hair was up in the sky. His beard seemed to be flapping like the wings of a bird. Admittidly you'd seen some pretty weird stuff over the last day and a half, but a blue guy with a birdy beard?
"You two should get a roo-" The blue guys eyes starred straight at you, a creepy perverted smile stretching across his face, "Woah, what's up with the hot new princess babe Finn?"
"Stop being a creep Ice King," Finn yelled up at him, his arm tightening around you, "Don't make me ground you again!"
Ground him?
"C'mon Finn, how are you gonna hold out on me?" The old man asked, coming closer to you and Finn, "She's completely my type!"
"Um, I don't think so," you said with a shake of your head. This creep was making you feel funny. Just looking at him filled you with disgust. As he came closer to the two of you, a strange feeling began to build in your chest, radiating down to your stomach and to your limbs.
"Why don't you just... HAND HER OVER!" The old man yelled, and with a forward motion of his hands he shot lightning bolt shaped ice at the two of you. Without thinking you stepped in front of Finn and swung your arm, easily knocking away the large shard of ice. A deep growl rumbled in your chest, as you glared up at the Ice King. He held up his arms defensively, and backed away towards the sky a little, "Woah, woah, woah, take it easy! Wha-what's wrong with your eyes?"
Lowering your arm, your legs felt like lead, and you found it hard to breathe. Your head felt like it was swimming and you began to tip. Before you could hit the snow a pair of warm strong arms craddled you. Your eyes met Finns before you tumbled into darkness.

"How is experiment 5580? Has she opened her eyes at all?" A soprano voice chirped.
"No ma'am, she's been asleep since this incident with experiment 6262."
"How is it? Did she perform well?" The soprano asked.
"Deceased ma'am. 5580 overpowered 6262 within 23.69 seconds. As expected."
"Interesting, perhaps we hit the right mixture this time." The clicking of heels on tile flooring came closer, then the water doused sound of tapping filled your ears, "Its time to wake up young one, we have lots of work to do today. Im afraid we have to run more tests on you, my sweet little angel."
Her voice was soft, but you knew that her words were a command. If you didn't do as she said, you would be punished. Your eyes fluttered open, and fell upon the face of a young blonde woman with bright pink lipstick the color of bubblegum. Her mouth held a shallow smile. The glint in her eyes made fear and anger rocket through your body. Although you had "grown up" knowing her face, she never failed to install fear and hate into your being.
"Okay Mama," you said flatly back from your side of the glass. She wasn't your real Mama, but she looked a lot like her. The woman before her did to, and the one before her, and the one before her, and the one before her. Each one of them had gotten older, and were soon replaced by another "Mama". You didn't remember all them specifically, but the face of your true mama was etched into your memory. You slid down to the ground of you tube, and the door slid open. Looking up at the wicked woman who bore a strong resemblance to your first mama, your little heart ached. She was so different from her! How dare she have the same eyes and face as your mama!?
She walked beside you towards a machine that would make a loud noise and poke needles into your skin. They did this to you every time they woke you up, and each time you'd be a little taller. Each time you'd either have a new mama, or the same one would be much older. You glared up at her, you were only up to her waist in height. Your tiny fists clenched as you stepped into the machine.
"5580, it'll all be over quick darling," she said with a poison filled smile. As she typed numbers into the machine you squeezed your eyes shut. The needles repeatedly jabbed into your skin, making your body burn. Fire filled your veins and it felt like you were on the verge of implosion. Clenching your teeth, you refused to scream this time. It seemed to go on forever, but when the stabbing stopped you opened your eyes, panting heavily. Shakily stepping out of the machine, blood dripping down your body, a man with large blue eyes came and scooped you up in his arms. At first you flinched away from him, not use to others touching you and your body sore, but you didn't have the energy to fight it.
"You shouldn't baby it like that," The blonde said with a sneer, and a scoff, "We don't want 5580 going soft."
The man ignored her words and carried you back to the tube to sleep again and heal. As he laid you down in it he gave you a soft smile and gently stroked your hair.
"Rest, you deserve it," He whispered sweetly, he leaned down towards you, ghosting a gentle kiss against your sweat coated forehead, "You did good (Name)."
As he backed away and the tube closed you began to cry like the child you were. (Name), that's what your true Mama had called you. You had almost forgotten. No one ever called you it. And no one had ever praised you for the pain you went through every time you woke up. Your sobs ebbed as gas filled the tube, forcing you to sleep. That's when you heard something. A voice, shouting and loud crashes.
"Hey, Finn!" A male voice yells. "I found something!"

(~~~~~~Present/Waking up~~~~~~)
"I don't know, she just passed out," You could hear Finn say, "Well we ran into Ice King while were playing golem bowling and he shot ice at us, trying to donk things up like always, and she knocked the ice away and she just passed out. And her eyes were funny. But not funny ha ha, funny scary."
"I don't know what to tell ya Finn," Jakes voice said, "Maybe you should bring her to PB, she might know what to do."
"F-Finn," You croaked, your eyes struggling to open. The sound of footsteps came closer until a hand rested on your forehead.
"You don't feel like you have a fever." He said. Your eyes opened and met his big blue ones. They were filled with gentle concern and an emotion that resembled love. They reminded you of the man you saw before you went to sleep, and of your true mother. The only two people in your long lonely painful life who had ever shown you any sort of affection. "I'm glad you're oka-"
You sat up, wrapping your arms around Finns broad shoulders as tears welled up in your eyes. In your past you'd never had the opportunity or will to let yourself sob like this. Clinging to Finn desperately you felt him return your embrace.
"H-Hey, why are you crying?" He asked in a surprised tone. His arms wrapped around you firmly and he leaned his head against yours, "Its okay, I'm right here."
"Finn promise you'll stay with me, please," You pleaded through your sobs, your body shaking violently.
He hugged you tightly against his chest so you could feel his heart beat. Nuzzling his face in your hair you felt his nod.
"I promise." Finn whispered in your ear, "I won't ever leave you (Name)."
After a long while you managed to calm down and you and Finn were laying underneath on of his blankets. His arms held you around your waist as the two of you laid quietly in his bed. There wasn't much space between your bodies, and for that you were thankful, because you could feel the comforting heat of him and the beating of his heart. Your hands were at the nape of his neck, playing with his soft blonde locks.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a soft tone.
"As long as you're with me." You answered against his chest.
You were content with this moment. Now that you had your memories back, you appreciated the warmth of his body even more than you had the other night. You'd never had the luxury of human closeness. Even your true mama had only embraced you a handful of times. So having Finn hold you this way, having him comfort you and simply be close to you made you forget about your loneliness. At least for now... because even though he promised not to leave you, you knew that one day he would. Everyone would. Whether they wanted to or not.
"Finn! (Name)!" Jake yelled from downstairs, "Princess Bubblegum is here!"
You sighed and reluctantly sat up. The Princess reminded you of your last "mama", her shallow smiles, her bubblegum colored lips. To say you disliked her based on those things... was a hell of an understatement. You and Finn got up and climbed down to the kitchen, where Jake was at the stove, and PB stood a bit away from you with her hands behind her back. Something about the way she looked at you made you inwardly cringe. Finn stepped away from you towards Jake after giving your hand a soft squeeze.
"Hi Princess," You said to be polite, as she took a few steps in your direction, "How are y-"
Without warning she ran you through with a large thick blade. The pain was so sudden that didn't have time to react.
"If my calculations are correct..."
Her voice trailed off as you heard Finn and Jakes frantic yells. You saw the Princess get pushed away from you as you fell back against the wall and caughed. Blood splattered onto the wood floor in front of you, your blood. Finn rushed towards you and craddled you in his arms as he helplessly watched blood pour from you wound. You forced a smile at him.
"I-It'll be ok-kay F-Finn," You managed to choke out.
"Wh-what am I suppose to do?!" He yelled, tears of anger and confusion started to roll down his face as he sees your eyes becoming dull, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME (NAME)!"
