Her Hand

by MomoWolf

After Tragedy strikes the Grasslands, Fionna and Cake are crowned rulers of the grass kingdom. Cake crowned temporary queen, waiting for the day Fionna would be old enough to be crowned Queen herself. Cake was excited, Fionna not so much. But she becomes even less excited when the high council demands she marries. It's a race for her hand in Marriage, and it's not a race she wants.

Prologue

Fionna's POV

I helped the people of the grasslands into the tree house. The tree house was filled with so many people. I looked over them all. Cake and Gumball were in the kitchen making food for the survivors. How had it come to this... Marshal was floating around offering blankets and cups of hot cider. He floated over to me and looked at me with genuine concern. "It's not your fault Fi." He said softly. I nodded.

I knew it wasn't. It was Ice Queens. She had managed to convince Flame Prince to help her flood the Grass Kingdom. She had actually kidnapped, and managed to kill the princes in the Grass Kingdom. All except LSP. We needed a new ruler of the Grass Kingdom, and a solution to stopping the storm. Marshal stood, holding the blankets. "Are these all the survivors?" He whispered softly. I nodded slowly running a hand over my head. He looked at me sadly.

"She needs to pay." I told him quietly. Marshal frowned. I looked at him sadly. "I'm not going to kill her, but the longer she has that grown, and the longer she has FP helping her the less likely we can get the kingdom to recover, and the more insane she becomes." I told him softly. He looked at me and sighed. He looked over to Gumball and Cake.

"I think they can handle everyone. I think everyone is just tired. I doubt anyone wants to eat." He said. I nodded and grabbed my sword and pack.

"Let's go." I said opening the door. It was dark out, and the child from the snow that FP was melting in the sky to make it rain was still freezing. Marshal turned into his bat form and helped me onto his back before flying up to the source of the storm. There I could see a cackling Ice Queen and a mad FP. Marshal kept us out of sight. "I leaned to his ear. "Go get a big bucket of the ice water, and dump it on FP, I'll get Ice Queen." I whispered. Marshal nodded calmly.

"Just don't kill Simone." He said. I nodded. He flew closer to Ice Queen so I could jump off and tackle her. We started falling and hit the snow on the ground of her one of her mountains. I stood, I felt the cold around me. Ice Queen and I didn't bother talking. I tackled her again and knocked off her crown. She screamed.

"My Tiara!" She cried. I rolled my eyes and stuffed it in my pack. I pulled her arms behind her back and started down the mountain. Marshal had grabbed a very dim FP. I smiled at our teamwork.

"Where are we taking them?" Marshal asked. I shrugged and we started back to the tree house. PG came out when the rain stopped and saw me and Marshal. The water was up to our ankles, but it wasn't bad.

Gumball smiled and cheered.

We had put Ice Queen in a cell in PG's palace, and FP was locked in a giant lantern in the Ice Kingdom. It had been a few months but eventually the Grass kingdom was dried out. The few survivors of the flood had mourned the loss of family from the drowning. Most cities had been destroyed. Surrounding kingdoms offered aid in reconstruction. Cake had met with PG several times to discuss a new ruler. Marshal and I were hanging out under a tree while Cake and PG presented their choice to the royal council. "Any clue who it is?" I asked Marshal as I picked at the grass. He shook his head.

"Too far for my super hearing." He said strumming his bass.

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He was looking down. "Shouldn't you be over there?" I questioned. He shook his head.

"I may be a king, and prince, but they don't acknowledge the Vampire Kingdom or the Nightosphere as a part of Aaa." He said calmly strumming a few more cords.

"Well that's bonk." I said. He laughed.

"Want to know bonk? Your 18th birthday is tomorrow and no one has said anything." he pointed out. I blinked. I had totally forgotten

"Well damn." I laughed. He smiled. "I bet PG when he remembers will make some big deal about it and throw some stupid party again."

Marshal laughed. "Actually before the mushroom war, 18 was the marker of when you were an adult. Back then it was a huge deal for humans." He said calmly strumming his bass. I blinked.

"So I'm no longer a kid?" I asked. He shook his head. He smiled as I cheered.

"What's with the cheering honey?" Cake said walking with PG and the council.

"My birthday is tomorrow." I laughed. Marshal was floating upside down.

"And she will be legally an adult according to Pre-Mushroom war law." Marshal said calmly. PG smiled and laughed.

"Oh right, you'll be 18." He said. Cake squealed. The head of the council coughed.

"Prince Gumball, will you please?" He said. Gumball restrained rolling his eyes.

"Right." He looked to me with a smile. Marshal stared at PG and his face went blank. "Fionna, there will be a new ruler for the Grass kingdom. We decided rather than choosing the next inline, which we discovered the entire line died in the flood, we chose a member of the grass kingdom with wisdom to lead, and the force to protect." He began. Marshal hissed at Gumball and I blinked in confusion.

"We have chosen Cake to lead as Queen, and you... Fionna to be princess." Gumball said. I stared blankly. "Cake holds the wisdom we need to lead the kingdom back to health. You hold both, so when the time comes you may take control. Cake will only be queen for a short while." PG said. I looked to Marshal with a panicked expression. He only looked at Gumball and in his red irises I could see anger.
