Fionna's POV
The moment our feet lifted off the ground I started to blush. I couldn't help it. I could swear for a split second I heard his heart beat at least once in his chest. I looked up at him and he looked down at me and he smiled. As if it was a secret that was being passed between our unspoken words in the silence between us. I know I sound ridiculous, but it's like the world just paused for a second and I felt his heart beat.
His face was as if it were glowing in the moonlight. Is this right? Is he right? I have never felt like this around Flame Prince.. Or even around Prince Gumball when I was younger. Maybe I'll get over this later when I fight monsters with Cake after the ball like we always do. But.. Maybe I wont.. Maybe I'll even invite him with.
"So Fionna, does Cake still hate me?" Marshall looked down at me when we were almost there.
"Meh, I think she is starting to mellow out about that.. But I like you," I tell him, blushing a little bit.
"What do you like about me?" He raises his eyebrows at me.
"Your eyes," I tell him smirking, thinking about that time we sang that song.
As he landed in front of the castle, setting me on the ground, he laughed, "My demon eyes?"
"Yeah, they are mathmatical man," I blush putting it off.
He doesn't say anything but simply smirk and hold my hand as we walk in the door.
A few whispers go around as we walk in the door together. A few candy people say "Aww" I heard one shout, "Fiolee!" What is that? Who globbin' knows..
Than LSP floats over to us, a smirk on his face. Great.
"Oh my glob you guys! YOU ARE A-DOR-A-BLE! Hold on, let me take a globbin' picture."
"Heh, thanks Lsp," I try to pull off a smile.
"Yeah, thanks," Marshall shrugs and smiles too.
Lsp takes a picture on a camera and than walks away mumbling about how "cute and how globbin' popular" it'll be. What is wrong with that guy? Whatever..
I see Cake running over to us suddenly and she's wearing her favorite bow tye. Lord nods to us. Aw, how cute they are together..
"Baby! You two are adorable!" She tells us. "But Marshall, don't you hurt my baby! I'll claw your eyes out before you can get your hands on her!"
"Don't worry Kitty, I'll take care of her," Marshall grinned at me, showing off his teeth while my face turned as red as a tomato and I lightly punched him on the shoulder.
"Mhmm, I'm watching you, and don't call me Kitty!" Cake glared at him, though I detected slight humor in her eyes, before she turned to me, made herself small on my shoulder and whispered, "Have fun girl! Don't stay too late, I expect you home by nine hun."
Cake stretched away with Lord Mono and I looked up to Marshall. Maybe this would be a fun night.
The ball had classical music, and as usual, it was a total bummer. I saw Gumball look at me from across the room and he strided over to me, a cheery expression covering his bubblegum face. Oh Glob, how am I going to tell him of all people that I came here with Marshall Lee?
"Why hello Fionna!" Gumball greeted politely before grabbing my hand and placing a light kiss on it, my cheeks were on fire! "I would like to request the honor of asking you to dance."
Hadn't he seen Marshall Lee stading literally right next to me?
"Ah-hem," Marshall glared coldly at Gumball.
I watched the anger fill Gumball's eyes and he dropped my hand before turning to Marshall Lee.
"Yes, Marshall?" Gumball glared back.
"She's with me, back off," Marshall smirked before pulling me into his arms.
"But does she want to be?" Gumball looked at me carefully, as if studying my face. What the math? It's just a globbin' ball, it's not marriage or something.
"You know you look stunning, Fi," Gumball attempted to sweet-talk me, "You should dance with a Prince instead of a King who, as far as I can tell, makes no attempt to make you happy."
"You call her my nickname and then insult me?" I saw as Marshall Lee's normal crimson eyes turned to a firey red, the color of his demon eyes.
"Marshall, calm down, please," I pull away and turn to face him, I didn't want him being once again banished from the Candy Kingdom for a few weeks, it'd ruin this whole idea anyways.
"And Gumball," I turned to him with a cold glare, "I had wanted you for years. Years. And now you're trying to work me up all over again!"
Both Marshall and Gumball were stunned silent at my outburst, and I continued, "I liked you- no I loved you, and you denied me every time I told you," Tears started swelling in my own eyes, "I find someone new and you get jealous? I'm not yours Gumball."
"Marshall," I turned to him, "Don't get get yourself kicked out the first ten minutes of the ball either."
"Now for the love of glob, just appologize to eachother and let's enjoy the rest of the night," I stated.
Both Gumball and Marshall turned to eachother and mumbled their appologies before Gumball walked off into the crowd, disappearing from sight.
Marshall grinned at me and had a devious look in his eyes, "Now let's try to have fun."
