The Vampire King and I
Fionna PoV.
It was 9:30 PM in the Candy Kingdom, the Candy Castle lights were still on, and the moon was full and shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the land of Aaa. Tonight was the night I was going to tell Gumball how I felt, Cake told me just to go out with it and tell him, but thanks to her, I was able to gather enough courage to come and tell him. We were at the entrance to the castle; I shuffled un easily in the spot where I stood, Cake was next to me hiding behind my leg, looking up expectantly, she gave me a small nudge on my leg, "Go on, Fi, ask him!" she whispered, I nodded down at her hesitantly and walked up to the candy door, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door loud enough for the people inside to hear. After a moment the door clicked and was opened my none other than Peppermint Maid. She smiled up at me kindly, "Why hello Miss Fionna! What can I do for you?" she asked in her cheery voice, I couldn't help but smile at her cheery mood, "Um, is Prince Gumball here? I…I wanted to speak with him." I said, slightly stuttering, the little candy woman nodded and motioned for me to follow her, I looked back to see Cake smiling in the doorway motioning me to go, I nodded and followed Peppermint Maid up the stairs to PG's room, "Good luck Fi!" Cake called up the stairs.
We made it to the door of Gumball's room, "He's in his room practicing his whistling." She whispered, "So I would suggest entering quietly." I smiled at her and entered the room quietly, I saw Gumball sitting in a chair with his back turned to me, whistling away, he was pretty good. I turned around and clicked the door shut, "Hello?" I jumped and turned around to see Gumball looking at me curiously, "Fionna! What brings you here?" he asked, giving me his charming princely smile, I blushed as I leaned against the now closed door, "Heeeey dude…." I said nervously scratching the back of my head. Gumball was wearing his normal clothes, and he wore his normal princely smile that always made me blush, and he was as pink and cute as ever. I saw something tapping at the window, my eyes flicked towards the window as I saw Cake, who had stretched two stories to reach the window; she smiled and gave me a thumbs-up, stretching back down to the ground, "Fionna?" PG looked at me confused, I looked away from the window and looked back at PG, who was now only a foot away from me, I sighed, "Hey, PG…I just wanted to ask you something." He smiled, "Ask away." he said, I took a deep breath and I felt my face become warm, "Gumball, would you like to, you know, go out? With me…?" I asked, shaking a little with nervousness, he didn't seem surprised or angry, he only smiled, "You mean go out? Like on a date go out?" I laughed nervously and nodded, "Um, yeah! So…um, what do you say?" I asked, "We could take a walk or… go for ice cream…?" He continued to whistle, "Um…Gumball?" I asked, trying to keep calm, he looked up and smiled hugely, my hopes rose up, "You know what I think?" he asked, he leaned in a little closer, my heart pounded in my chest, the red flooding in my face, "I don't care." I froze a little, "W-what…?" I asked, not quite understanding what he said at first, "Fionna; you know that we're friends, and that's all we'll ever be. Don't ask such questions! Such a silly girl!" he laughed, my heart sank, and my face didn't show any emotion, I was too much shock and pain to do or say anything, Gumball continued to smile at me ignoring my expression, "Now, if you'll excuse me; I need to practice my whistling." He turned away from me, walking back to his chair, "Oh…I-I see…h-how silly…" I murmured quietly, I turned for the door, my eyes stinging from upcoming tears, "Bye, Gumball…" I said, but I don't think he heard me. I left the room quietly, without him caring at all.
When I got out of the castle doors and bid good-bye to Peppermint Maid, I stood there in front of the door, staring at the ground, "Fi, how did it go?" Cake asked me, I bit my lip, tears welled up in my eyes, I suppressed a sob, "Fionna, baby, what's the matter?" Cake asked concerned, I sat up straight, not wanting to look at her, I looked above her, I took a deep breath; "He-he said he wasn't interested…" I said, trying to keep my voice steady, "He called me a silly girl…" I began to sob just as it began to rain. Great… "I-I'm sick of this Cake!" I buried my face into my hands, with hiccupping sobs, Cake took my hands into her paws, "Shh… it's alright. C'mon, let's go home before we get soaked out here." Cake became large enough for me to ride on, I was about to climb on her back when I heard a rustle in the trees above me, I turned around and looked up at one of the cotton candy trees with apples growing on it, I searched it for a moment, "C'mon Fi." Cake urged, I turned back to Cake and climbed on to her back, and we galloped all the way home in the pouring rain.

I sat in one of cotton candy apple tree but Gum-butt's Castle, sucking the red out of an apple simply out of boredom. I had nothing better to do that night, so I decided to hang around Pinky's apple trees. I was short on re food anyway; Gummy wouldn't notice a few gone. (Or several dozen) I heard someone knock on the candy door, "Why hello Miss Fionna!" I jumped, Fionna's here? Why is she here so late? "Um, is Prince Gumball here? I…I want to speak with him." "Of course she was here to see Gum-butt." I grumbled, I sank my fangs into another apple, sucking out the color, I shrugged and blew the whole thing off.
After a while, it began to rain, I groaned, then I heard sobs come from down below me, "I-I'm sick of this Cake!" was that Fionna? I looked over to the side and saw Fionna crying into her hands, "Shh… it's alright. C'mon, let's go home before we get soaked out here." Cake grew large enough for Fionna, before she climb onto her back she looked in my direction, I hid behind the leaves (or fluff) of the tree before she could see me, I peeked over the fluff/leaves; her eyes were red and teary, and they held an expression that tore at my insides for some reason, "C'mon Fi." She turned around and climbed on Cake's back and rode off towards their home. And soon the rain began to pour down. So I thought I might follow those two goofs. But, I also wanted to see if my favorite human was alright, and to see what that Pink-Goof-up-of-a-Prince said to her that got her upset. "Maybe Gummy final fessed up and said he was gay." I laughed.
