"MARSHALL LEE!" Gumball yelled out as he stormed down one of the halls in his castle. He was angered and upset about the news he just heard from Peppermint Maid.

Moments later a smiling Marshall came through one of the castle doors and floated towards the candy prince. "You called your majesty?" Marshall teased.

"Is it true that you're helping Fionna get a date with me?"

The smile that once occupied Marshall's face was soon gone and a look of disappointment replaced it. "How'd you find out?"

"Peppermint Maid said you were planning on tricking me into a date with Fionna."

Marshall's face angered at the mention of Peppermint Maid. She should mind her own business Marshall had thought when he looked away from the prince.

"So it's true?" Gumball asked, staring Marshall down. He didn't want to hear any lies. "That you two were planning tricking me?"

"We weren't planning on anything. The girl just wanted a date and I told her I would help her out," he said with irritation in his voice.

"Help out how?"

Marshall looked away, not wanting to look Gumball in the eyes when he said the next words. "I was going to read your diary and find out what you like in a girl so Fionna can….um…be that girl."

"What?!" Gumball's eye widen as shock came to his face. Once the shock had passed he glared at the vampire in front of him. "That's not how you get a date with someone, Marshall. What are you teaching this girl?"

Before Marshall got a chance to answer, Gumball had already started walking at a fast pace down the hall. He was on his way outside to find Fionna and talk sense into the girl before Marshall does any more damage.

Marshall kept pace as he followed the candy prince out the castle doors and towards the candy fountain, where Fionna sat slumped over with her chin in her hands and her elbows on her knees.

"Fionna!" Gumball called out. Fionna quickly looked up and saw Gumball half running towards her direction. She blushed a bit at the sight of the adorable prince but then saw Marshall behind him and she realized that Gumball probably knew of their plan.

Fionna felt embarrassed as Gumball came to a complete stop and sat beside her on the stone sides of the fountain. "Gumball."

The prince's eye brows came together as he looked at Fionna. "Fionna, you shouldn't let this vampire talk you into doing stupid things. Stealing someone's personal journal to know what girl they're into is wrong; Invasion of personal stuff and it's the wrong way to get someone to go out with you."

Fionna just watched as Gumball gave her a speech and sat patiently, waiting for him to finish before she started talking. "So will you go out with me then?"

Gumball sighed, placing a hand on his face. Figuring she hadn't heard a word he said and it was just hopeless to keep talking, but he did. "Fionna, I told you a million times before, why do you have to make me say again? Five years is a big age difference and you're just -."

Fionna quickly stood up from the side of the fountain, stopping Gumball's words with words of her own. "I'm what? I'm just a young girl right? That's what you were going to say? FYI Gumball, if you haven't noticed, I'm not a young girl anymore. I'm 18 years old, a full grown woman. Old enough to go out with any guy older than me; 5 years older, 10 years even. Your age difference excuse won't work anymore, because it's no longer an excuse."

Before Gumball was able to say something in return and possibly make a new excuse, Fionna stormed off in the opposite direction of the candy castle.

Fionna stared at the ground as she walked through the Candy Kingdom. She pulled at the ears of her bunny hat and her golden blond hair fell down her back. She looked at the hat she held tight in her fists and tears stung her eyes. She sighed once before she threw the hat down with so much force, you could hear it hit the ground. She was done being treated like just another kid.
