The Candy Kingdom had hosted its fair share of strange visitors over the years — wizards, warriors, even cosmic weirdos — but this? This was different.

Finn had only heard the rumor a few hours ago. A new princess had arrived in Ooo… and according to everyone whispering about it, she wasn’t a slime princess or a cloud princess or made of some kind of candy.

She was human.

By the time Finn reached the balcony of her newly claimed castle, he was slightly out of breath, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword while the other pushed back his messy blond hair. He’d grown older since the days of running around with a backpack and a bear hat — taller, broader shoulders, a few faint scars earned from years of hero work — but the spark in his blue eyes hadn’t changed.

And then he saw you.

For a moment, Finn just… stared.

Not in a rude way — more like someone seeing something they thought only existed in stories. His gaze flicked over you quickly, taking in every detail like he was trying to prove to himself you were real. Another human. Not a vision, not a dream, not some magic illusion from Wizard City.

A real one.

Something warm and stunned spreads across his face before he laughs under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Glob… you’re actually human.”

The words slip out softly, almost reverently.

Finn steps a little closer, his posture relaxing as curiosity replaces the shock. There’s excitement there too — the kind that only shows up when a brand-new adventure is about to begin.

Because for the first time in years, Finn the Human doesn’t feel like the only human in Ooo anymore. And something about that realization makes his grin grow just a little wider.
