to adventure side by side with him in the future? Would she no longer be able to show her strength in hand-to-hand combat?
Or, even worse, was she missing a part of her mind? What if the princess was no longer scientifically inclined? Finn liked the way she could solve a physics problem as if it was as easy as licking a lollipop. He liked it a lot! And he relied on her ability to speak other languages like German and Korean. How would she talk to Lady Rainicorn if she lost that ability?
Finn stopped himself and realised that he was speculating when he could find out the real truth by just listening to Nurse Poundcake.
‘I’m afraid there wasn’t enough gum to work with, so it appears Princess Bubblegum is now younger,’ said Nurse Poundcake.
The candy citizens were delightfully surprised when they saw the beautiful princess enter the room.
‘She’s thirteen years old now,’ Nurse Poundcake informed them.
‘Oh, dang it!’ the Ice King complained. ‘Well, I’m out of here. Good-bye, everyone.’
‘Thirteen years old?’ Finn asked. ‘That’s how old I am.’
Princess Bubblegum smiled at Finn as stars filled her amazing eyes. Finn smiled back at her and blushed.
‘Whooooaaa!’ Jake teased his best bud.
‘Give me a hug, hero,’ Princess Bubblegum said as she snuggled up to Finn.
Finn hugged the new and very much improved princess. Maybe the Lich hadn’t been so bad for the Land of Ooo after all!
