Fionna plunged her sword into yet another blue monster. She had already defeated five, with no problem whatsoever. But they had a leader, who was bigger and more challenging than the rest of them.
It was eight feet tall, with muscles showing on every inch of it's skin.
But for Fionna, there was no problem. She ran strait for it, and when it attempted to swat her away, all she had to do was dodge it. She observed it, and noticed that it might be strong, it was slow-moving. So naturally Fionna moved with speed, and no matter how much it's big arms swung for her she dodged every attempt, and eventually she stabbed her sword into it's shoulder.
This only angered it more, and it let out a loud roar. It jumped high into the air, and suddenly it grew bigger, as it fell back down, about to squish Fionna. Fionna did not move, however, and instead she raised her sword, so that when he fell on Fionna he would also be stabbed.
The giant monster realized this as he was about to be stabbed, and before he could do anything, he fell onto Fionna and her sword, dead and defeated.
Now, the villagers had seen the whole thing. There was o doubt they all thought Fionna was dead, for the blue giant was so heavy it either squished her or was currently suffocating her.
They all gathered around the giant silently, all knowing who was under.
But suddenly, a crystal sword went through its back, and out came Fionna, who was all covered in blue giant blood.
Then, out of the blue, one villager yelled, "Hail Fionna! She has saved us!" Then the cround went wild as she got completely out of the giant. Some people threw flower pedals, and the leader of the village of small people place a flower crown on her head and thanked her.
"Guys, it's no big deal, really. I'm serious, I'm just doin' my job", but her attempts of making them stop cheering were in vain. They couldn't thank her enough.
So she decided to leave all the little villagers behind and go to the candy kingdom to see prince Gumball.
The candy kingdom was just how it sounded. It was all made of candy. The roads, the houses, even the people. And it was wonderful. Whenever she went there she always had a secure, safe feeling. Just the thought of it made her happy.
She went up to the castle's gates and passed the guards, who were so used to seeing her that they did not attempt to stop her, but she felt their eyes on her as she went up a staircase that led to Gumball's bedroom.
Fionna knew he liked manners, so she knocked on his door, waiting for a, "who is it?!" but she received no such response, so she just let herself in. But suddenly stopped at the sight of his attire.
He had a shirt on, a little unbuttoned, revealing his pink chest. It was lean, but not in a wimpy way. No, she saw hints of muscle on him. But the rest of him was completely dressed.
Prince Gumball however did not notice her come in. He started to button up his shirt as Fionna said, "H-hey, PG", which made him jump and look up at her.
"Fionna! I didn't notice you come in!" He smiled, but his expression changed at he looked at the giant's blood on her. "What happened?", he asked.
"Oh, it's just some blue giant's blood. Some monsters were bothering little villagers so I defeated them...but I'm fine", she smiled.
"Hmm. Would you like to wash off?"
"Wash off?", he never asked her this before.
"Yes. Take a shower, I mean? While you do that I'll make sure your clothes are washed, if you like."
"Uh...okay. Sure". Maybe he thought she smelled bad. Which she did, so she would clean herself.
He finished buttoning his shirt and put on his lab coat. "You can use the bathroom across the hall in one of the guest chambers. I'll be down in the lab, and while I'm at it, do you think I could take some of that substance on you in a test tube?"
This was a strange question. She wondered why he wanted this giant's blood, but din't ask him, and only said,"Yeah, you can take some."
He smiled. "Thank you". He took a test tube out of his lab coat and walked until he was standing in front of Fionna. He glanced up at her eyes, with a slight smile on his face. Being so close to him gave Fionna a better look at him. He smelled wonderful, and she noticed for the first time that he didn't only smell like bubblegum, but also like rain, and she closed her eyes and slightly tilted her head.
Gumball swooped up a sample from the side of her neck and his smooth fingers slightly touched her, but his touch was gone as fast as it came, and she opened her eyes.
He looked up at her eyes and she looked into his. Of course, they were the color pink, but they were vivid and bright. They were polite, but something was dark about them, and almost sad. Almost longing for something. But he looked away all to soon and composed himself.
He walked past her but looked back and slightly smirked. "I'll be in the lab, but I'll send a maid to wash your clothes," he said softly. Then he left, out the door, and she heard his footsteps echo at a fast pace down the hall. Fionna could tell something was bothering him.
She sighed as a gumdrop maid entered the room. She took one look at me and raised her eyebrows. Then she gestured for her to follow her with a wave of her sugary hand. They walked down the hall until they reached one of the guest chambers. The maid opened the door and showed her the the bathroom and what to do.
"Just put your clothes in this basket right now", and she pointed to a basket close to the door. Fionna looked at her. "Come on, I don't got all day sweetie, take off your dirty clothes so I can take a break faster". Fionna did what she was told and put her clothes in the basket, and althought it was slightly awkward for Fionna to me completely naked in front of the old maid, it did not seem strange at all for the maid, who now handed her a towel.
"So you know what to do?" The gumdrop asked.
"Yes", Fionna answered.
"Good. Enjoy the shower. You really need one", she joked.
Fionna smiled as the maid left with her clothes. She could tell the maid was honest and realistic, and she liked to see that in people.
Her thoughts couldn't help but go to Marshall Lee as she stepped into the warm shower. Her long blonde hair went down to her ankles, but she pulled it up since it was still clean. Her bunny hat held all of it in, so no blood was on it, and she had washed it last night.
She just let the warm water wash away the filth, and relaxed as it rolled down her skin. Her arms reached out to the wall in front of her and she looked down at her feet. Marshall Lee...
She remembered the countless time he would make scary faces. Cake never liked him for that. No, vampires scared her. But Fionna wasn't afraid of him. When he would make a scary face it would make her laugh. And she smiled at that thought.
Then she thought about Gumball, and how she got to look into his eyes. She had seen sadness. And there was a dark part of him, too. She closed her eyes. She loved that about him though. Even his dark side he always hides.
Marshall Lee, however, always acts bad. But when she looks into his eyes, all she sees is good, with a hint of loneliness.
So basically Marshall and Gumball were two completely different people, and even though they didn't act like it, good friends.
She had a crush on Gumball, for who he was and so much more.
But Marshall was her friend. Only her friend and nothing more, but...but there was some thing about him. She opened her eyes and looked at her small feet. There was something about Marshall that made her want to understand something about him. It was always in his music, in his eyes, and even when he just goofed around.
Marshall was her friend, and she wanted to understand him. Because she cared about him. And maybe he cared, possibly. But there was always something alluring about him, and she like liked that.
She really liked it...
"Miss! Your clothes are clean!" She heard the maid yell from behind the bathroom's door.
She sighed. "Okay! Thank you!" Fionna yelled back. She tuned off the water and dried herself with a clean towel.
She let down her hair and it flowed beautifully behind her as she walked to the bed were here clothes lay folded up. She got dressed again, but she didn't put her hat back on. The water dampened her hair, even with the effort of putting it up. And she wanted to let it dry first.
She went down to the lab where Gumball claimed to be, and to her relief, he was there.
"Hey PG. What's going on?" She happily jumped up next to him.
"I found something strange in the blue giant's blood", he states simply. Gumball then raises a volumetric flask with a green substance to eye level, and with the other hand he poured in a red substance, and almost instantly white smoke started fuming from it.
Gumball immediately put a rubber stopper in to stop the gas from leaking. Then the substance started boiling and his eyes widened.
He took Fionna's arm and pulled her away. He ran as fast as he could to pull her to safety, but it exploded with such force, and the impact made him fall on top of her.
They both laid like that for a minute, because there was ringing in their ears from the loud noise. Then Fionna opened her eyes and saw Gumball was still unconscious. His head rested on her chest. Her hand went to his shoulder and shook him awake.
He opened his pink eyes, and lifted himself up with his arms. Both of his hands were on either side of her face, and she was looking up at him, with a lost look in here eyes, and it drove him crazy. Her hair was sprawled out everywhere, beautiful to him.
But the substance, it had exploded. He got up and gave a hand to Fionna, who accepted it and stood. He looked around the lab. There was shattered glass everywhere, a small fire on the floor, and the counter were the substance had been was blackened.
He left Fiona's side and took off his lab coat, so he could cover the fire with it and put it out. He sighed. By now he was confused. He always was trying to find a way to cheat death. He was afraid of it. But this had never happened before. Now he was really interested.
"Gumball?" Said a soft voice behind him.
He turned around. "I'm sorry", he said. "Are you all right?"
"Uh...well there's some glass in my hand, and it's really..." Fionna's eyes started to look tired. "It's really deep".
Gumball was alert. He asked her "which hand?", and it was her right. There was a lot of blood, and he immediately took her out of the lab.
"Someone! Help!"
