Roomies in Aaa: The Ice Queen Strikes

Chapter 1

Water, on. Music, playing. The blond girl starts to get undressed. The hot water hits her skin and she instantly relaxes. After a long day of unpacking this is exactly what she needs. As she is cleaning her body she begins to sing along her music.

"Oh please! Let me free!

Tell me I'm not insane.

Not insane!!!!"

"Hey, you're not insane, but keep it down." A deep voice calls through the door.

Oh crap, Fionna thinks. "I'm sorry. I just moved here I didn't know there was a rule for singing."

"There isn't." The voice responds. "But it is pretty late. I'm fine with it, but I don't know how Gumwad will react."

"Well I'm almost done anyways. I won't be loud." She finishes with her body, and steps out of the shower. After drying her long, blonde hair, she puts on her PJ's and opens the door, hoping to find her neighbor but finding the hallway empty instead.

It's seven a.m. and our blonde leading actress is sitting at the kitchen table eating her breakfast. She has her school uniform on, a navy skirt, Mary Janes with knee high socks, and white button up with a light blue tie, all topped with her signature, white, bunny-eared headband.

She is munching on her cereal when a young man dressed in a pastel pink colored suit walks into the kitchen. His strawberry-blonde hair is combed neatly to the side and he is carrying a light pink suitcase. He grabs a muffin and sits at the table, reading the newspaper.

Fionna looks up. "Oh, hello," she says shyly. This guy is cute, really cute and she can' t help but feel shy around him.

"Good morning, miss. How do you do?" His voice is sweet, and thick, just like caramel.

"I'm fine. Are you the charismatic stranger from last night?"

"Excuse me?" His pale, gray eyes have confusion in them.

"Nevermind, I'm Fionna Ward. I just moved here." She sticks out her hand in greeting.

"My name is Bubba Gumball." He takes her hand in his, and she nearly melts in his grasp.

"Nu uh, sweet thang. Do not tell me that's all you're going to eat for breakfast. And on a school day, too? I don't think so." A big, honey colored women walks into the kitchen. "I'mma make ya something good to eat, oh yes, baby. Gumball, you want some, too?"

"No thank you, Cake, I should be heading out for work anyways." He takes off, making sure he grabs his keys (which are the pink ones) before he goes. "I'll see you later."

Meanwhile, Cake is taking out pans and bowls and other cooking material. "So tell me sugar," she tells Fionna, "what are you craving?"

Fionna thinks for a moment. This woman was willing to make her breakfast, so what should she ask for? "Bacon pancakes." She whispers, half hoping the women hadn't heard. The woman begins to cook.

"So, what's your name, sweet pea?"

"Fionna." She says timidly.

"How cute. I'm Caitlin, but everyone calls me Cake." She places a plate with two round pancakes in front of Fionna. "Here you go, sugar."

"Thank you." Fionna takes a bite out of her pancake, surprised to find a piece of bacon in it. Cake sits in front of her, taking Gumball's seat.

"So you're my new neighbor? That's great. So, why'd ya move here? And why isn't your momma making you food? Not that I mind, honey, I'm just a curious cat."

Fionna swallows, "Well, my parents just died and I'm out on my own. I couldn't afford the rent at my old home so I had to move."

"Oh baby cakes, I'm sorry for asking, but from now on, I'm making your breakfast, no excuses. Now you better hurry along unless you want to be late for school." She looks over to the kitchen clock, seeing it is a little past seven thirty. She gobbles the rest of her food and dashes out the door, grabbing her blue keys. "'Bye Cake, I'll see you after school."

"I'll be here, honey bee. Have a good day."
