"Marshall is he here?" Fiona whispered nervously, fiddling with the soft ribbon on the ball gown. Marshall rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Of course Fi. Sheesh, have some faith in me huh?" He smiled, fangs glinting In the brightly lit ball room of the Candy Kingdom, where Fiona was supposed to meet The Flame Prince. Or the Fire Prince. Something like that. She wasn't that interested in guys right now, what with her adventuring and being awesome, but Marshall insisted she meet him. Cake had made her a brand new dress, with an all white bodice,a ruffled bottom with a nice blue bow around her waist. Cat had clawed out the ridiculous tangles in her blonde bang and wiped her face until her freckles popped against clean skin. B-Mo even washed her Bunny Hat for her.
"Is he really made of fire?" She whispered suddenly, the images of her candy people friends running around on fire making her shiver.
"Duh. FLAME Prince. Gumball finally got the science potion thingy right. He's still made of fire but Gummybutt's potion should make him your human temperature. It lasts 5 hours so something, basically enough time for you to smash and dash."
"Smash and what?"
"Nothing Fi. I hope he comes."
She smoothed out imaginary wrinkles and took another sip of her juice as she watched the familiar patrons of the kingdom dance. Prince Gumball's bright pink hair emerged from the crowd as he came closer to the two, faking a smile as patrons stopped him and chatted about the ball. After a few moments of strained smiles and idle chatter Gumball was hurrying over. Marshall's smile grew even wider as Gumball approached, wrapping his arms around the flustered Prince's waist, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck when he appeared. "Whew. Hosting is hard." He sighed, accepting Fiona's half drunken cup of juice and relaxing into the cold embrace of his vampire.
"I know something even harder..." Marshall whispered grumpy, pushing his hips to Gumball's back. Gumball blushed and laughed, checking To make sure Fiona hadn't heard Marshall's distasteful comment.
"Where's Cake?"
"With Lord Mono."
"Ahh. They've been spending quite some time together havent they?"
Marshall gagged and Gumball laughed, elbowing him in the ribs turnjng to see if Fiona took offense. But no, she was staring wide-eyed across the room. "Oh gosh Marshall he's scary-looking. Im freaking out man."
"You fight the Ice Queen, the Lich queen, and monsters yet that scares you?"
Fiona had finally seen him. A few candy people turned to watch his entrance as others kept on dancing. Flame Prince had just arrived with 2 guards, both of whom tailed him as he walked through the giant ornate chocolate doors. The first thing Fiona noticed was that He was tall, broad shoulders and long legs. His ruby red eyes scanned the room in dismay, his lips pressed in thin line and his red eyebrows furrowed until he saw Marshall waving. His face broke out in a smile, white teeth shining as he maneuvered through the massive wave of writhing dancers. The second thing Fiona noticed was his hair. The left and right sides where shaved down low, his flaming hair in a tall moving mohawk. A ruby diamond was embedded into his forehead, which glinted in the moonlight that filtered through the tall windows and matched the jewel on his burgundy vest. He held his head high as he sauntered over to the trio.
When he was close enough he noticed a stranger who must be Fiona. Marshall had simply said " radical bunny-hat kid with the cheesy hero morals" as her description. He hoped this was her. From her signature hat was a long blonde bang that framed her round face beautifully. Her eyes were a bright almost eerie blue, framed by thick eyelashes. She had 2 cuts that spanned from the bottom of her eye to her jawline, lighter than the rest of her freckled cheeks. Flame Prince thought that the scars made her look badass, like a real warrior instead of the frail tiny girl he imagined her to be. From the animated way she was speaking to Marshall and Gumball he could tell something was bothering her.
"This is different PG! He's hot." He heard her frantically rush out as he finally stood before them.
He smiled brightly. "Marshall-Lee Abadeer. Last I saw you a pack of Fire Wolves was chasing you through the hills." Flame Prince teased, pulling the skinny vampire Into a tight hug, giant arms crushing the undead teenager. Gumball raised his eyebrows up and laughed. "Yeah well, how do you' think I have fun?" He rasped out as the prince dropped him. "Ah, Prince Gumball. How nice to finally meet your acquaintance. I've heard great stories about you."
Gum smiled, shaking the other Prince's hand and politely smiling. "How nice! Welcome to the Candy Castle." The Prince nodded and laughed as Marshall floated up to tease and prod at the statue-like body guards behind him. Then, he turned to Fiona.
A mantra of his plan played in his head as he held a hand out to the blonde. "Be smooth. Woo the girl. Woo the girl. Woo the g-"
"Hi. You must be Flame Prince. I'm Fiona The Hero." She smiled, holding a hand out.
The plan flew out the window as she spoke and Flame Prince choked. He stared into those wonderfully innocent eyes and forgot to breathe, to say something, ANYTHING to not look so damn dumb. Marshall coughed rather dramatically and plucked the prince on the shoulder.
"Oh, oh-uh I'm terribly sorry about that. I'm Flame Prince, future ruler of the Fire Kingdom." He stammered out, a bright red blush turning his orange face crimson. Fiona's smiled brightly, her tongue pressed against the tiny gap between her front teeth out of habit. Flame Prince smiled back.
I shall finish this story with 2 or 1 more chapters. Yesh. Bye my lovebugs.
