{Fionna's POV}

I wiped away a couple tears. I'm such a baby. Crying over just a boy. But... He just... Broke me.

"I'm sorry, Gumball." I apologized. He smiled.

"That's quite alright. Now you go on home. I have some work to do..." He said, mischievously

"Okay... Thanks." I said. He nodded. I went out the door, and started walking to the treehouse. How can I love Marshall, when I have a boyfriend? I love Flame Prince, right? Right...

"Fio, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry." I heard a voice say, from behind me. I would normally turn around to see who it was, but I already knew. Marshall Lee. I just decided to give him the silent treatment, and keep on walking. "I'm sorry, okay. Why do you have to ignore me?" He asked. I just kept on walking and said nothing. When all of a sudden, he picked me up from behind, bridal style.

"Marshall!" I screamed, wailing my arms. He chuckled.

"Oh calm down." He laughed.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down?! I confessed and you immediately rejected me! So, you want me to calm down?!" I yelled. His face went blank.

"Fionna, I'm sorry." He said. I just rolled my eyes.

"Just let me down, okay?" I asked, a little calmer now. He let me down, gently.

"I-I'll cya later." He said. I waved. He left. Yep. UGH, FIONNA! Flame Prince is your boyfriend! You can't be all lovey dovey for Marshall! I walked home.

"Where have you been?" Cake screeched. I laughed.

"No where special. I just need some sleep." I said. I drowsily walked past her.

"Fionna. Fionna! Come back here! Don't just walk away! Fionna!" She yelled. I just ignored her, and went to my bed. I collapsed on it, and fell asleep.

"Fi, Fi, Fio, Fi, Fi, Fi." I woke up to.

"Ya know what I love? When someone keeps chanting my name, over and over." I said, sarcastically. I pulled my pillow over my head.

"Sorry. C'mon, Fio. Lets go." The voice said. It was... Hmm... Let me guess... Marshall Lee. Yep.

"UGHHH! Go where?" I moaned. I heard a light chuckle.

"You'll just have to find out. C'mon! Get out of bed!" He yelled.

"Ughhh, make me." I said. Whoops, shouldn't have said that.

"Easy." He said. He picked me up, and flew out the window.

"Glob, Marshall. We really need to stop meeting like this." I said, gesturing towards my pj's.

"Here, you're going to need this." He threw me REALLY HIGH in the air.

"AHH! MARSHALL!" I screamed. I was falling, quickly. When suddenly, I felt arms under my body.

"Here." He handed me his sweatshirt.

"Why did you throw me?!" I screeched at the top of my lungs.

"Because it'd be easier. I had to take off my sweatshirt, but I couldn't do that, with you on me." He said.

"Couldn't you have just set me on the ground?" I yelled.

"Ya." He said, shrugging. UGHHHHH. I just decided to do the rational decision and ignore him.

"Marshall, about last night..." I studdered.

"What about it?" He asked. I slapped the back of his head. UGHH STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW!

"Marshall! You know..." I said, firmly.

"Whaat? I don't, I really don't. What happened?" He asked. THIS BETTER NOT BE A PRANK!

"YOU KNOW, LEE! Y'know, by the pond..." I said.

"I SERIOUSLY don't know." He looked at me with sincerity in his eyes. Okay... Maybe, hmmm... OH GLOB!

"Marshall! Take me to the candy kingdom, now!" I yelled. He looked confused, but just did it, anyways. We got to the candy kingdom. "Stay there!" I yelled. I rushed into Gumball's room.

"Oh, Fionna! We have got to stop this middle-of-the-night nonsense!" He said, just getting up.

"Nonsense? I'll tell you what's nonsense! Giving Marshall, a potion that made him forget that night!" I yelled. He looked at the ground, in shame.

"I'm so sorry, Fionna. But, I must tell you about something." He said. I raised my eyebrow. Oh glob.

"What?" I asked, a little scared of the words that were going to come out of Gumball's mouth.

"Well, I didn't just give him my 'forgetful' potion. I also gave him, a love potion, for you." He said. I froze.

"Gumball! How could you do this?! Love is supposed to be natural, not artificial, by some stupid love potion of yours!" I yelled.

"Wait! But there's one thing. When, I gave him the love potion, nothing happened. Which could only mean, he already loved you, in the first place!" He said, excitedly. I just stood there, like a complete idiot.

"Gumball, please give me some of the forgetful potion. I can't know that he loves me, and he can't know I love him." I said. Gumball hesitated but went to the corner of his room, and poured a TINY bit of liquid into a cup.
He handed me the glass. Okay, lets do this. I drank the cup.

"Why am I here?!" I screeched at Gumball. Ughh... He probably dragged me here, for some lame project.

"Because you needed to borrow some sugar. But, then you realized you didn't need any. So now, you're going to go." He said. Oh... I guess that kinda makes sense. I went outside.

"Hey, Fio." Marshall said. "Why were you talking to Gumdrop?" He asked.

"I guess I needed sugar, but now I don't." I said.

"Oh, well, need a ride home?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Sure." I said. I climbed onto his back, as he flew me home. Well, that was odd. I came inside, to see Flame Prince.

"Hey, Fionna. Where were you?" He asked.

"Getting sugar. But I don't need any, I guess." I said, still confused.

"Oh..." He said, confused.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"To be with you." He said. He pinned me, against the wall. "And a little more." He said deviously. Oh glob.
