The adventures of Fiolee

Chapter 10: Fire Prince

Marshalls pov:

I woke up to the warmth of Fionnas breathe on my chest and I smile. I could get used to this. She's finally mine, my girl.

"Marshy? Are you up?" She yawns out and wraps her arms around my neck.

"Yeah baby, I'm awake. What do you wanna do today?" I ask, pushing her golden hair out from her face.

"Well I was gonna go to the candy kingdom to check up on things, you can come with," she says.

"Yeah I think that'd be a good idea," I smile.

She steps out of bed and stretches out. I look at her, and she's absolutely gorgeous. She slept in my flannels and wow does she look good.

Fionnas Pov:

I go downstairs and eat an apple before I realized Marshall might have wanted that. I'll pick more up later. It's weird being around someone who doesn't eat, but sucks the color from foods.

"Hey Marshall?" I shout from the kitchen, turning around and looking up to see him walking in.

"Yeah bunny?" He says.

"What does it taste like to just eat the color red? Like do different things have different tastes?" I ask as I slide down onto a chair looking at him.

"Well, no. They all have different taste, like hm." He stops for a second to think, "Like an apple, it tastes sweet, like an apple. But say I sucked the red from a shirt, it would taste like, well whatever it'd taste like if you licked on a shirt." He finishes with a smile.

"Ooh that makes sense I guess hahah."

We get dressed and start walking out the door to gumballs.

"Hold on, I almost forgot my pack," I shout running back inside to snatch it up. Marshall has a huge smile on his face,

"What are you smiling about?" I question and put my hands on my hips, looking up at him. He flicks my bunny ears and lightly laughs,

"Nothin bunny," and starts floating ahead of me.

"Hey Marsh slow the glob down," I say as I run to his side. He wraps his right arm around my waist and swings me into bridal style and flies us to the castle. It was a short ride of dumb jokes, and we landed silently, but he set me down and I landed with a thump.

"It's really quiet here today," I say, looking around confused.

"Fionna!" I hear Gumball shout from in front of the castle doors.

"Hey Gumball, where is everyone?" I question while looking behind him, thinking they're all inside.

"I have them all in an underground protection center," he says quickly, adjusting his jacket.

My eyes go wide with confusion, worry, and fear. There must be something very bad going on for him to take his whole Kingdom into hiding.

"Why?! What's going on Gummy!?" I hear Marshall splat out.

"Well, uhm. Could I talk to Fionna?" He looks to me, nervously.

"Yeah that's fine," I say walking towards him, but feel someone tug my arm.

"Yeah we can talk," Marshall says holding me back staring at Gumball with daring eyes.

"Marshall, this is very important. We'll be back in just a few," Gumball says calmly yet annoyed. Gumball lead me to his garden, where I saw Cake and Lord Monochromicorn,

"Cake! Where have you been?" I ask as I go and hug her.

"I left a voicemail at the house, didn't you hear it?" She said getting suspicious so I just tell her,

"Well the past few days I've beenstayingthenightwithmarshall" I say quickly ending it.

Cake sighs "Oh Fionna, you're so lucky I love you."

"Sorry to uh intrude but I need to talk to Fionna, now." He says loudly.

"Oh you gonna tell her how you pissed of Fire prince?" She says sticking her tongue out.

"What?!" I say, getting mad.

"Well uh.." Gumball trails off.

"Gumball!! What did you do! Is this why you are hiding out?" I say angrily.

Here's some back story.

Me and FP dated a little over a year ago, after I lost interest in Gumball. It was hard to be together. But we were 17 ish. We tried to make things work, we were "in love". Whenever we hung out, he couldn't touch me. He'd burn me if he did. So we'd wrap me up in foil so he could hug me, so we could cuddle, without really burning me. The way we ended was.. bad. He loved me so much, and I thought I loved him. But I couldn't be with him anymore due to the fact I couldn't even touch him. But about a week ago.. he came over, he wasn't in flames. He pulled me into a hug and it didn't burn, he was warm.

"Fionna, this is how it feels to hold you?" He questions and I feel him smile.

"Yeah, yeah. FP, how are you.. not burning me?" I question him, pushing him away to look at him,

"I.. I had the doctor at the Fire Kingdom to well, I'll put it where you'll understand. I had him manipulate the part of my body, my core, that produces flames, to no longer produce flames, but keep me warm enough to live. I can now control when I want flames," he says grinning hard, he lifts his hand and a little flame dances in his palm, he closes his palm and looks back at me,

"Fionna, now we can be together," he says, closing his palm, the flame disappearing.

"FP, I'm happy you found how to do this! Now you can explore the world." I say hopefully, "What made you do this?" I question.

"I missed you, and whenever you visited, I missed you more. I didn't wanna just be your friend anymore, I want you to be mine again. I knew I couldn't be with you if I was still a burning flame," He says, placing his hand on my cheek,

"FP.. I.. I can't. I'm sorry.. I.. I think I love someone else. You'll always be my friend. I love you as a friend FP," I say, taking his hand from my face and holding it in my hand, "Now we can adventure.. and you'll be able to feel the world."

I look up into his eyes and he goes to say something, but he didn't. He walks away. And that was the last I saw him. He was hurt. I was sure he hated me.
