Finn's Pov

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally arrived at the Candy Kingdom. A crowd of candy kids swarmed up to Pb and hugged her. She laughed and hugged them back. Then about 7 candy doctors went up to her and they whispered in a huddle. She points to me a couple of times and they all nod. "Finn, we must get you to my lab immediately," Pb says. "Why?" I ask. "Look at it," she says and nods toward my arm. I unravel the cloth on my arm and see that its turning blue. I kind of freak out. Wait, no, I don't. That's an understatement. I try to stay calm, but I can't. It hurts like math, and now i'm looking at it turning blue. I scream. "Calm down, Finn," Jake says, but I can tell he's trying to calm himself down.

Pb gestures me to follow her. I pick up two candy branches from the ground and use them as crutches. I walk after Pb and we go into her lab. She looks at it through a magnifying glass, then takes out a bit of blood from my finger and, guess what? Its green. She puts it into her computer to analyze it. "Oh, no," she murmurs under her breath. "What is it?" I ask cautiously. "Well, you know that icicle Ice Queen stabbed you with?"

"Yeah."

"That wasn't a normal icicle, Finn. It was a [insert random name] icicle. Extremely rare to find and impossible to make. If injected, it could freeze a human from the inside out."

"What am I going to do, then?" I ask. I wasn't going to leave all my best friends and my girlfriend and get frozen. "I don't have a cure, but thank glob that it hasn't gotten past your shoulder yet," she says. "Now what?" I ask. She has a pained look on her face, and now i'm afraid to ask. "We need to make you a metal arm, Finn," she says. Hang on. A metal arm. So that means...

"I need to replace your arm, Finn. It's either that or a human icicle," she says. I guess I looked sad, because she came over and hugged me. "You'll be fine," she says. I smile through the pain, the pain of my arm and the thought of leaving that arm.

Jake's Pov

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We wait in silence. For Finn. Finally, he comes out and I run up and hug him, avoiding his arm, and say," How'd it go, buddy?"

"I need a metal arm," he says miserably. "A what?" Marceline comes over. "I need a metal arm," Finn repeats. She gasps. Everyone else comes over and he tells all of them. Most of them look terrified. What he says next makes me sad and nervous for my best friend. "If it gets past my arm, then i'll become a human icicle." "It's okay, dude," Fionna says," You'll look rad with a metal arm." He smiles, but I can tell he's still sad.
