telling it like it is (AiO 15.5)

*knock knock knock*

 

no... not now... i... i cant-

 

bubblegum: anon... anon we need to talk to you.

 

......

 

marceline: anon, i got back a week ago. you didnt even say hi.

 

jake: youve been dodging me and finn too.

 

>i... i just...

 

finn: anon, were your friends. we  can always talk about stuff.

 

>no... you guys... you guys are my family.

 

you open up the door.

 

bubblegum: *gasp*

 

marceline: oh anon. whats happened? you look a mess.

 

>... come on in, ill explain.

-------------

 

once everyone is seated you look them all in the eyes.

 

you got to tell them now.

 

>im not from an alternate dimension, im from this world.

 

bubblegum: oh... but then... what about the portal? what about coming from a different world?

 

>im not from another world either.

 

bubblegum: i dont understand.

 

>im from... the past.

 

finn: so... you were originally from ooo?

 

>this planet isnt called ooo finn, its earth. its a... beaten up earth.

 

marceline: i dont understand, this planet has allways been called ooo.

 

>the great mushroom war... do any of you know what happened before it?

 

they all look at one another, and then to bubblegum. she shakes her head negatively.

 

>before the mushroom war, this planet was called ooo, it was called earth. human society waged war apon itself. everyone had nuclear weaponry at the time. i think you know what happens next. the thing i dont get though, is that the bomb that actually started the great mushroom war was made with some type of magic. magic did not exist around that time, so i wonder what happened.

 

finn: anon... this is a lot to take in.

 

>you can imagine what i had to go through when i was basically looking through my brothers eyes for the experience.

 

finn: you mean you saw your brother?

 

you toss them the cds.

 

>those were made by my brother. i watched all of them, and thats how i know about all of this. marceline, he saw you with ice king when you were young.

 

marceline: wuh... what?

 

>have you ever met a man traveling with a plant woman and a child when you were younger?

 

marceline: i.. no i have not.

 

>well i guess thats alright. i wonder if simon met him though.

 

marceline: did you just say...

 

>i watched ice kings videos too. all of them. i know who he was. what he did. i guess you could say thats the main reason why im bros with him.

 

bubblegum: anon, if what you say is true, then that must mean that you know everything about what the ancestors did before the great mushroom war.

 

>ancestors? are you talking about the human race before the bomb? i guess you could clasify me as one of them.

 

bubblegum: no anon, there were a group of people, who reined over many lands.

 

>oh... yeah... presidents. well... other wars.

 

bubblegum: there was constantly war on oo- earth?

 

>feel free to call it ooo. i mean... earth, ooo.... same thing. yes. and it was always about something stupid. listen guys... i think it would be best if this stuck only between all of us. if anyone found out about this, there would be mass hysteria.

 

finn: why?

 

>if everyone found out they are basically remnants of what we both are... they would be pretty upset.

 

bubblegum: that is... correct.

 

marceline: so... your not really 19.

 

>well, if your gonna count how many years ive traveled, yeah, im like, 2019 i guess. but since i hopped from my time to yours, i still consider myself to be 19.

 

finn: wow man... my mind is blown...

 

>i know... i feel the same way.

 

jake: man... so we are like less superior to what you guys used to be.

 

>oh dont even imply that. you guys have.... everything we humans didnt have; holographic projections, messages being sent by light and read by brain waves, robots with artificial intelligence, and most of all... magic. i guess there is only one thing you guys havent made yet.

 

jake: whats that?

 

>dorito taco shells.

 

that day was surely an advancement in science for the human race.

 

finn: so... what do we do now that we know all of this too. what do you do?

 

>well... chris never saw me in the past, so that means i cant go back.

 

everyone looks down.

 

>but you know... i dont want to go back either. i like it here. you guys are what make me happy.

 

marceline: anon... what esle... do you know about me?

 

>i guess a whole bunch. i wouldnt say anything to anyone though.

 

she smiles but still looks sad.

 

>listen... you guys just... stay the same. thats what im going to do.

 

finn: but-

 

>finn... everything has changed from what it is back then. this is the now. why change it to make it more like the past? the past was horrible. as far as i know, there is no true wars going on in ooo.

 

bubblegum: you are correct.

 

>then lets keep it that way... i dont want to change a thing. now... i know we havent done anything in a while... how about we all do something fun?
