I think about Fin and what he said about getting over Princess Bubblegum and then I start to think, I don't know if I'm over Prince Gumball yet, or if I ever will be, but something told me deep inside that if I were to be over anyone at all. I probably would probably take this Flame Prince in consideration. "Good." I say last time and then I turn again and leave. Leaving a little strange light behind me with a piece of proof I do exist just as much as he does. It makes me think. If I don't see him again. I think that would be sad, because I do. I want to see him again.

"That's cool GB," Cake said purring as he pat her head.

"Thanks," he said.

Cake, I guess, noticed I wasn't really paying attention because she said after, "Isn't that cool, Fi?"

"Huh!?" I said, realizing she was talking to me, "Oh! Yeah. Yeah, it looked great." I tried to be as normal as possible but not even I was convinced. Glob. If I keep this up they'll just think I'm being junk.

"Umm... everything alright with Fionna? She seems to be a bit distant," he asked Cake.

Cake then smiled, "Oh yeah. She's just thinking about that guy she met last night."

Ahhh! I can't believe her! My face flushed and jumped to my feet, "What!? What are you talking about! I'm not thinking about him," I practially yelled. Again I wasn't so convincing.

"What guy?" Gumbal then proceeded to say with a similliar smile to Marshal Lee's. I grunted looking the other direction, and sat back down, "Oh, c'mon you can tell me!" he said nugding at my shoulder.

" Gumbal, that's her personal bizz," Cake said," You've got to respect the woman's P-bizz." I smiled at her, silently thanking her for not saying anything.

"Well alright-"

"IT'S FLAME PRINCE!" she screamed, "She's crushing on flame prince!"

"Cake!" I yelled at her.

She gave me an apologetic look, but before I could say anything else Gumball grabbed my shoulders and forced me to look at him. He had this half angry, half scared look, "Flame Prince! Flame Prince!? You can't! I won't let you!"

I pushed him away from me and stood up, "What are you saying!?" I asked him trying to keep my temper down. He's like the smartest person I know. Half the time I don't know half the junk he tells me. Maybe I just heard him wrong.

He gives me this really serious look, narrowing his eyes at me, and says very clearly, "You can't like the Flame Prince!"

My brows were pushed together. He's being a total jerk! "You don't tell me who I like!" I yelled back at him.

Gumbal just shook his head, "Anyway he's taken care of."

"What do you mean?" I asked calming down a bit, but a new stress was pressed against my chest.

"I had his mother lock him up and he was caught last night," he said looking pleased. What? I can't believe him. Obviously he's not the sort of Prince I thought him to be! Seeing the look on my face Gumbal stood up and said, "I have to go but tomarrow I'll be back to explain to you why you just can't be with Flame Prince. MARROW!" He cried and then the bird picked him up and flew away.

I looked to the ground. What was I going to do? I had to save him, "Umm.. Fi?" Cake called me with a worried look, " I know that look, girl! What are you thinking?"

"Whaaaat?... nothing." I smile.

...

Climbing up a janky mountain Cake hides further in my back pack. "Fiona I don't like this idea," she says shaking, "My tail is wizzing out."

"Pfft. Don't worry about it. We'll be fine," I said reaching for the legde. By the time we got there I was sweating pits, but I didn't let it bother me. Or I tried to not let it bother me. Flame Prince was in trouble! That's when we saw it. It was a large castle, over one hundred feet tall and consumed in flames. "Preetty sweet," I say taking out my sword and running toward the entrance, "C'mon let's go!"

Cake stops me, stretching a wall in front of me, "Baby, are you crazy! We can't just walk into the Flame kingdom. "

"Well, why not?"

"We're not flame people! We'll die in there."

"Well do you have a better idea, because I would love to hear it-"

"Shh!" she says and pushes me behind a rock.

"Caaake," I whine, "What are you?"

"Shh!" she says again. Then I hear it. Footsteps coming this way. We see a dark shadow, it was a large dark form and it was getting closer and closer. We had no other choice and we jumped up. My sword at his neck and Cake ready for anything, but what we saw was no threat. No threat at all.

"Flamba?" Cake says almost disapointedly.

"Hey Gals," she says as we help her back up, "Whatcha doin? Thought I was some royal guard?"

"Yeaaaah," Cake continued to whine.

Flamba smirked, "Hmmm. Yeah! Anyways whatcha doing all the way out here?"

"We're here to help a friend." I put my sword away, "Hey do you think you can help us get into the fire kingdom without burning our bods?" I ask. She jumps on a rock so we were eye level.

"Yeah sure," she says. She begins to chant something. Fire symbols floating in the air and then she spits on both of our foreheads. Ew.

"Ow," Cake said rubbing the spot Flamba spit.

Our bodies began to turn blue as Flamba jumped from the rock, "I gave yahs flame shields," she says, "Plus I spat on yahs."

"Hmmmm," Cake moaned with uncertainty.

When we walked into the flame kingdom, we were careful to not be seen, but that's easier said than done. I mean come on, we're blue in a red flaming castle. Little fire dudes running all over the place. Hmm... Where would Flame Prince be? I wonder, hiding behind a pot. I look down a hall and see a bunch of doors when the coast was clear. Glob! This will take forever. Looking at Cake I say, "You take one side and I'll take the other. Be careful."

Cake gives me a thumbs up as we open each door. The first door I opened lead to a kitchen, monster sized blue berries were crated and a chef was vigerously chopping vegetables. Slowly I close the door before he see's me, "Psssst! Cake, is he in there?"

"I don't know. Let me check," she slowly opened the door and I think I hear screaming and running water. Cake's eyes go small and she just shuts the door. Without saying a word she shakes her head and we continue down the hallway. To my luck the next door I open leads to the Queen's thrown room. There she sat in the far end of the room surrounded by her servants.

"Butt! There's no way we can sneak in there without being seen," I say to Cake, but she's still looking around.

She see's a couple of flame people about our sizes, "Hey!" she whispers, "Hey you!"

"Cake what are y-"

Covering my mouth she says, "Shh!" and looks back to the flame people, "Hey you!"

"Who goes there?" one of them asks walking our way. We hide behind the door before they see us.

Cake pulls out a bag of chips from my pack. Holding it in the Flame People's view she whispers, "Snnaccks."

Dropping down their weapons they sing, "Snacks! Snacks! Snacks! Snacks!" and run toward us. Catching them in the hall way we hit their noggins knocking them out and start to take off their armour.

"Sorry," I tell them as we put the armour on. I look back to Cake, "Okay. You distract the queen while I free Flame Prince."

Nodding her head she runs in the room.

"Goooooooood marrow," she sings pulling off her helmet and stepping before the Queen.

Flame Queen stands up, "Wait. Who are you and what are you doing here? SPEAK!"

I shoot her a look mentally telling her to keep going. "Ummmm..." she continues.

While Cake distracts, I walk past the servants and move toward what looks like a large glass candle lanturn. Climbing up the chains and kicking of the wall I eventually jump on the metal frame holding the lanturn. "Flame Prince," I call, pulling up my visor.

"Fiona?" I can't help to blush when he calls my name. The smile growing on his face warms me up inside, it forces me to smile.

"Hey," I say again, as red as a tomato, "I'm here to rescue you."

He puts his hand on the glass and I do the same. We're like that for a while and I almost forget where we are until I hear Cake sing.

"Oh Flame Prince. I want no other, I really want to kiss you, Right in front of your mother..."

My face starts to burn worse then yesterday, even in flame sheilds, but Flame Prince's smile only seems to grow. It almost calms me down. "C'mon," I say, "Let's get you outta here."

Cake's song continues and I'm trying not to pay attention, but that's kind of hard since the song is about a passionate love. It really embarrases me. Still climbing to the top I reach down holding out my hand, "Take my hand," I tell him. Beginning to reach for it, I hear Cake stop. That can't be good.

"Hey! What are you doing with my son!?"

"CAKE! RUN!" I yell to her. She hesistates, "RUN!" I yell again and she leaves out some bigger sets of doors.

"Seize her!" Flame Queen yells and a bunch of fire people come racing toward us. Suddenly Flame Prince flies out of the lanturn, catching me in his arms and holding me bridal style.

"Wait," I ask, "Were you always able to do that?"

GIving me a sheepish look, with one hand he shoots these fire balls at his people and they explode into tiny versions of Flamba. Making a path he then shoots out of the castle with me still in his arms. Cake meets us outside.

"Ooo C'mon babies," she says rushing us back down the cliff, "We need to get out of here!"

...

Bursting threw the doors of the house I make sure Flame Prince and Cake are still behind me. My heart is bursting threw my chest. I almost feel like I stole something. Gunk! How do people deal with that? Looking behind me I see Flame Prince and he's okay. He looks at me with a worried look, but I reasure him with a smile. Cake starts to leave, "Ooooo! Let me get my dulcimer."

Flame Prince walks toward me and that's when I realize my flame shields are still up. Putting his hand on mine he asks, "I'm not hurting you?"

My eyes go wide and I'm as stiff as a board.

"Fionna?" he says swiping some hair away from my face.

I start shaking my head, "NOpe! No. You're not hurting me." I say and I almost begin to mumble, "I'm tough."

NO! WHy would I say that!? What guy likes a tough girl?

"I know," he says, "That's what I like about you. You are brave and have a good heart and you..." he moves in closer as he says this and our hairs are touching. If it weren't for the flame sheilds I would probably be on fire right now. We're about to kiss! I know it! I can feel it! His face moves closer to mine and I just tilt my head slightly when...

"Fionna!" my door slams open and there Prince Gumball stands, letting himself in. He brings his computor and he's still typing on it. Walking around Flame Prince I look at Prince Gumwad!

"What the Junk, Gumball!" I say, "Why did you break into my house?"

"I'm sorry but this is important," he says throwing a device on the ground. It shoots out a holographic green screen with shapes and numbers and words I don't understand. "I just hope you understand."

"Ummm Gumball?" I say looking back at Flame Prince. He seems as impatient as I am. Gumbal isn't listening. He's still talking about junk. All I really hear is magma and Flame Prince. It even grabs FP's attention. "GUMBALL!" I yell. I'm not mad, just to ya know... grab his attention.

Though he looks at me like I just chastised him.

"Sorry," I begin and I gesture Flame Prince to come toward us. He does and PG's eyes widen. "Flame Prince meet Prince Gumball." I look back to Gumbal more unsteadily, "Prince Gumball meet Flame Prince."

"We've met," he says with mild hostility.

I groan alittle bit at his attitude. I don't like it and take Flame Prince's hand, "Well I'm going to show Flame Prince around. Can you tell Cake that I'll be back?"

"But Fiona!"

"Thanks," and without another word I lead Flame Prince from the house. Little do I know that's when Cake comes in the room and she see's Gumball.

"Hey Prince Gumbal," she says holding on to the straps of her dulcimer, "Where did Fi and her new boy toy go?"

"I don't know," he says defeatedly. Cake takes note of the bitterness in his voice and she walks closer to him making a face. "What!?" he finally asks when he couldn't handle it any more.

"Jeeeeaaaaaalous?" she sings.

Cake tells me it took his a while before he says, "Shut up."
