*Fionna's POV*
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I am now stuck in a story that I roll my eyes at because of Gumball and the Ice Queen. Why? Well, Gumball had a serum that lets us go into dreams, thoughts, and ideas. And then Ice Queen got hold of it, and kidnapped him, and then when I showed up, tricked me into falling into a puddle of it, which she had mixed in with certain pages of stories.

Yeah, I know. Then, I got stuck there- in Snow White. After a small scene of parents dying, and the Evil Stepmother taking over, I was soon led into the forest with some guy who looked like an overgrown penguin.
"Are you going to kill me?" I asked quietly.
He nodded. "The Queen ordered me to. It's you, or me, kid."
"Does she need proof?" I asked.

"Your heart." He smirked.
"Aren't you a hunter? Kill a deer." I suggested. Look- I don't like deer. One put me in the hospital for a while. It's just... no. "And you can cut out its heart." I continued.
"What do you have left to live for?" He asked. "Your parents are dead, your kingdom is in ruins because of the queen."
"I've never been kissed." I admitted. "I'm too young to die. How can I have anything to live for if I don't go out and get it myself?"

He considered this, then raised his knife. I closed my eyes and winced as I heard a thunk in the tree next to me. "Go. I'll follow your idea." He sighed.
I thanked him, before running off into the forest. Hey, at least I wasn't dressed like the Disney version. And I had the sense to hike up my skirts and not get scared of trees. Not like there were that many to be scared of in the first place.

I was very, very lost in no time, mostly because I refused to stick with any one direction. Cue pun about ancient boy-band. Then I came to a tiny cottage. Well, it wasn't that tiny, but it was still nowhere near as big as the treehouse. I considered going inside, but then I figured that would be rude, especially since no one seemed to be home. After like, two hours, seven miniature versions of Gumball -I am not lying- showed up.

"Who are you?" They asked.
"I'm Fionna."
"We'll call you Snow White."
"I'd rather you didn't. It's not my name. It's a colour. It's like if I called all of you 'Bubblegum Pink'. And I'm not even that pale."
"But your name is a Celtic feminization of 'Finn' that means 'fair' as in, really pale."

"Of course." I groaned.
"What are you doing here, anyway?" One of the Gumballs asked.
I explained my situation, and they dragged me into their house, and proposed a deal: I become their personal slave, and they let me stay there, as well as not turning me in. "Just imagine if the Queen found out you were here." One tutted.
I soon learned their names, and that each of them had a different part of Gumball's personality that was inflated.

They were: Smart, Baker, Sophisticated, Noble, Persistent, Peaceful, Wimpy (this part really relies on me. And is overly exaggerated) and Accidentally-Condescending. I put up with them for a while, getting the constant reminder not to talk to strangers, etc. as they left me alone everyday, when the old lady showed up. Now, she was obviously a poorly disguised Ice Queen, and the dwarves warned me constantly about her dark magic, but I still opened the window and talked to her anyway.

Why? Because I have been stuck in a house with seven guys who have been driving me crazy! Then she surprised me, and somehow got ahold of my corset strings and tightened them so much I couldn't breathe, then tied them in a complicated knot that I just couldn't reach... I'll just admit it-I blacked out.

When I woke up, the Gumball-dwarves were standing over me, a knife in the hands of Noble. Sophisticated was covering his eyes.
"What's up with him?" I asked, sitting up.
"It's not proper for me to see a young lady like that when we are not married!" He snapped. I quickly changed into a dress I had made (under their supervision, so I had an extra to wear) out of their sight, then came back in.

Accidentally-Condescending immediately said, "Why were you stupid enough to let the Evil Queen in?"
"I needed to talk to a girl, for once. You guys are great and all, but sometimes, I just need a little girl time." I sighed.
"She's a sociopathic mistress of Satan. She is not a 'girl'." Smart pointed out.

"Next time, you must listen to us, Snow White." Persistent said. He was the only one who still called me that, by the way. I don't understand him- Gumball's not even that persistent, outside of trying something again if it doesn't work. Like the zombies.
Baker handed me a cupcake. "We worry."
Peaceful nodded. He was sitting at the table weaving a daisy chain that he handed to Wimpy.

"That scared me- you dying." Wimpy said.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again." The next time it happened, Ice Queen had already come by once, trying to stick a comb in my hair. When she actually did get me, she had an apple.
"I have a friend of mine who would like that much better." I said, eyeing the apple she had put on the windowsill. I was a few feet away from the window, having learned from the corset.

"Pretty little princess, wouldn't you like that nice apple?" Ice Queen asked.
"No. I know how this story ends."
"What if I eat half of it?" She asked innocently. "It's a peace offering. Come back, and be the heir to my kingdom."
I had noticed that half the apple was pale green, and half was blood red, the exact type that Marshall likes. I picked up the knife she offered warily, and cut the apple in half, having part of each colour on each half.

I handed her one of the halfs. "There. You eat your half, and I'll eat mine."
She smirked at me, and ate it. I watched her swallow, then she said, "You have to keep your side of the deal. It's magical code- and the apple is magic, I assure you."
Against my will, I picked up my half and bit into it. I blacked out instantaneously, unlike with the corset.

When I woke up (I know, I know, repetitive...) there was a pair of cool lips on mine. When they broke off, I saw that it was... Marshall? Why him, of all people, as my 'true love'?
"You?" I asked, stunned.
"Me." He smirked, picking me up bridal style. "Forever, because I woke you up, and your little pink friends thought I couldn't do it."

I noticed the other six glaring at Accidentally-Condescending, and said to Marshall, "You don't own me."
He put me on his horse, then swung up beside me. "Maybe. But you're my true love, and I'm never going to let you go."
Wait, why did that make my heart beat faster?! Marshall and I are just friends, and what about Gumball?!

Okay, maybe I didn't like Gumball so much anymore after being stuck in the house with the seven dwarves. And maybe that was a great kiss, and maybe I was secretly loving how my head fit against his shoulder so perfectly. But that did not matter, because then I was zapped into Cinder-freaking-ella. Joy...
