Walking through the woods were a human and dog. In the world, only one human was known to the land of Ooo, and his name was Finn. He is an adventurer, along with his best friend, Jake the dog. They were on a quest assigned to them from a sweet elephant. The elephant reported at least one or two baskets of apples on the floor every time she went out to pick them for her apple pie. It was conveniently nice but she can't recall anyone ever living in the woods having the time to do that.
"So who do you think this weirdly kind stranger would be?" Jake asked while sniffing out any clues that would help them.
"Honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe some shy ghost or something." Finn had replied, his eyes searching around for any movement.
Eventually Jake picked up a scent. It smelled like baked goods and flowers. Quietly following the scent the duo had found a small cottage-like house hidden behind trees of many kinds. Looking around they couldn't find anyone who lived here nearby.
With a smile, Jake turned to Finn. "Yo, think we should enter the house? I can smell cookies. Let's take some."
"Nuh uh, dude! That's stealing. Let's just see who this person is." Finn whisper yelled at Jake. Jake sighed and opened the door slowly, stretching out so he could become smaller and peer inside.
Whispering again, Jake announced, "Alright, no one's in. Let's investigate."
Roaming around they found a few noticeable features. There was a small table with chairs, but only one seemed to be used over time. To the left of the door was the sink, oven, counter and fridge. Above the sink was a large window which was surrounded by many plants. A few hang overhead as well. The oven was on and baking cookies. Signaling that the stranger has been here earlier. Well, of course, it's their home. To the forward there was an opening to a bedroom, and to the right it expanded into a living room. Back into the right corner of the kitchen there was a pantry, the top half being filled with jars of spices and jams. The bottom half simply being a small closet with an umbrella and boots inside.
"This place feels so cozy, like a nice place to be in when you want to be alone. I guess this is what the stranger wants." Finn said while staring at a dusted photo frame in the corner of the counter.
"Yeah, definitely. Hope the stranger-" Jake was cut off by a sound of someone's humming gradually get louder. The stranger must've been back already. Without a wasting second Finn grabbed Jake and hid in the bottom half of the pantry to hide in. Hearing the door open they crept back as far as they could, the pantry doors had a big enough space between them so they could see the stranger.
The humming seemed to be that of a teen male, but their appearance was unknown as they walked into the kitchen. Finn studied the stranger as he hid. Dark green gardening clothes dressed the stranger along with a green sun hat. Tuffs of (h/c) hair could be seen but nothing more as the back of their head was turned to the human and dog. They had put on oven mitts and took out the goods which happened to be sugar cookies. A waft of sweetness filled the air as they put the tray down on the counter for them to cool.
Sighing, the stranger said, "I need a shower huh, gardening really takes some work.", and walked off into the bedroom.
As soon as the adventurers heard the shower turn on, they got out and looked at each other.
"Dude. Let's get out of here and reassure Tree Trunks that she has nothing to worry about." Jake told Finn, who didn't seem to agree with it.
"I kinda wanna know the dude, we should wait outside and see if they come back out." Finn smiled at Jake, hoping for him to go with it.
"Only if you ask if we can have some cookies when we meet them."
"Deal."
Walking outside they kept their distance from the small house near a tree. After a while of drawing in the dirt and chatting they can hear doors opening and closing from inside. The two got up, walked over, and knocked. Everything went still. The stranger from inside stood still in fear. How could anyone find this place? Is someone here to rob the house? Bravely, they approached the door and opened it slowly.
Shock overcame two of the three. Dead silence filling up the scene with Jake smiling and giggling, looking back and forth between the two.
[(Y/N) POV]
I couldn't move, I couldn't process what was happening. My brain can't take this in! It looks like another human at my door. What's happening??
The teenage boy in a white hat and blue outfit loudly exclaimed, "You're a human boy??! Wait are you really human??!!"
Caught back in reality I nod quickly. I see him getting closer, looking at my hair and poking my face lightly, in which it heats up but is barely noticeable. A moment after he apologizes and steps back.
"It's... okay, my name is (Y/n), it's really nice to meet another human. You are one too, right?" I asked quietly, still in disbelief.
"Uh, oh! Yeah! My name's Finn, this is Jake." I then see Finn point to the dog next to him.
"Sup." Jake says.
I move aside from the door and ask them to come in and sit down at the table. They do so and we begin to chat. I got to know them, they were adventurers who save and search the land of Ooo. They're funny dudes.
This feels weird. It doesn't feel wrong but I still don't know if I like this. I've been so alone but I guess this is what I need anyways. A chance to socialize again.
I didn't realize but I had zoned out, snapping back to reality with Finn close to me and waving his hand in between our faces.
"Dude! You alright?" Finn asked.
"Oh.. Oh! I'm sorry! Got lost in thought." I chuckled and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Well, I kinda wanna ask you something if you don't mind." I hear him say. Nervously, I reply with a 'go ahead'.
"Have you been the one picking apples and leaving them in baskets on the ground for a small green elephant?"
Oh, is that why they're here?
I avoided eye contact while speaking, "Uh, yeah actually. Sometimes I go wander around the forest and a while ago I saw them struggling trying to pick apples."
Jake decided to speak, "Her name's Tree Trunks by the way, she makes some awesome apple pie."
I chuckled, "Well I assume so."
"Oh yeah, can I ask you something else, (Y/N)?" Finn cleared his throat.
I nodded.
"Can we... have a cookie from your counter?" Finn then gestured to the plate. Jake started to smile.
Oh. I forgot about those. I hope they're still warm.
"Uhh of course! It'd be nice to have some feedback on how they taste since i've kinda been alone. Please share your thoughts on them."
Getting up I brought the plate to them, they grabbed one, me taking one as well and eating. Jake snickered, devouring it in one bite and reviewed it, "This is INCREDIBLE." Finn finishes his and does a little dance agreeing with Jake. I giggle and feel a small smile spread across my face.
Finn complimented, "Man, you're a great baker, (Y/N). Thank you for blessing us with cookies."
"I'm glad you like them," A weird feeling swelled in my stomach but I continued to talk. "If you ever feel like having something nice, just come by. If it's not too much trouble, I'm guessing I'm pretty far away." My statement was distinguishably laced with hesitation. I'm not sure if I'll regret saying that or not.
Jake piped up, "The adventure is worth the treasure." Finn agreed, giving a loud 'mhm!'.
They decided to head home as the afternoon came rolling to an end. We said our goodbyes and the two walked off with bright smiles. I smiled as well, it was definitely not the day I expected. Will good come of this? Will I be able to move on? Maybe. I hope so. I also hope I don't regret it.
