Blood Red Tears

Chapter Three The Secret

The next morning, Finn awoke to the phone ringing. He got out of bed and went downstairs to the living room. He looked at the caller ID. It was Marcy! He quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey Marcy! Good morning!"

"Hey Finn. Where's Jake?"

Finn had not seen Jake in the kitchen. "He's probably still asleep. The dance party probably wore him out."

"Yea. Hey, I was wondering if me and you could have a jam session."

"Why can't jake come?"

Marceline went silent. "Finn, you're so naive."

Finn pondered for a moment. Then he got what Marcy ment. "Oh, I see." Finn blushed. "Okay. I'll be there around noon."

"Cool. See you then Finn."

Marceline hung up first. Finn then hung up the phone and turned around to find Jake standing behind him, glaring at him. He folded his arms.

"What's going on buddy? Everything okay?"

"I don't know, you tell me. What is going on?"

Finn stuttered. "Um, n-nothing Jake. Just gonna g-go to...the lake! T-to fight t-the lake knights."

"Really. Are you keeping secrets from me?"

"No of course not!" Finn laughed nervously.

"Also, why did you dance away for a while at the dance party?"

"I just needed a punch break, Jakey shake."

Jake smiled and unfolded his arms. "Okay. But why didn't you tell me?"

"Um, I wanted some alone time! Yea, that's it."

Jake sighed. "Alright man. You go and have fun. Uncle Jake has plans with Lady today."

Finn picked up Jake in a tight hug. "Thanks Jake! See you later!" Finn dropped Jake and ran outside.

"Wait Finn! You're not dressed!"

Finn stopped and ran back inside to get dressed, looking embarrassed.

Jake watched as Finn ran out into the distance. He wondered what was making him so jumpy. He doesn't usually act like that. Furthermore, Finn never took punch breaks during a dance party.

"Finn's acting weird. Maybe he is planning a surprise early birthday party for me!"

Jake pumped his fists with victory, and went to the living room to call Lady Rainicorn.
