Part Two

Winter Wnderland

"What do you mean you're not going to be here Christmas Eve?" Fionna asked, gaping at her best friend, Cake.

The cat sighed and gave Fionna an apologetic smile. "Lord wants to spend it together and I do too. I'll be home on Christmas, just Christmas Eve I'm going to spend with him." Cake explained, her tail swaying slightly. "Sorry Fionna."

Fionna sighed lightly and shook her head. "Don't be, I understand." She mumbled and trudged through the snow, Cake walking beside her. She did understand up she'd be lying if she said she wasn't a bit upset. But she couldn't tell Cake that. "I hope you guys have fun." Fionna grinned at Cake.

They continued forward till they reached where they were going; Candy Kingdom. Several residents said hello and waved while Fionna and Cake made their way to the palace. Fionna had seen the castle hundreds of times and the awe of it had kind of left her. She and Cake walked up to the front doors and went inside. Several servants fumbled about, setting up decorations in the main hall. Prince Gumball stood in the center of the room, keeping an eye on everyone. When he spotted Fionna and Cake he waved them over.

The two girls walked over to the pink prince. "Hey Gumball." Fionna said with a smile.

"Hello Fionna." Gumball said in return and smiled back at her. "Are you guys ready for Christmas?"

"You know it!" Fionna said with excitement.

"No kidding! You should see the tree house." Cake continued, wiggling her arms. "Fionna went all out with the decorations!"

Gumball looked at Cake as the feline talked before looking back at Fionna with a smile. "That's wonderful. You must have done a wonderful job."

Fionna blushed slightly and chuckled nervously. "Thanks." She said and rubbed the back of her head. "So what's going on here?" Fionna asked to get the attention off of her. She glanced around at the light being hung. "Got a party or something?"

Gumball nodded. "Yes actually, I'm throwing a party on Christmas Eve for all the Candy Kingdom. Are you two going to come?"

Cake shook her fuzzy head. "I'm spending that night with my man!" She looked up at Fionna. "But Fionna's free." Gumball looked at Fionna as well, waiting for an answer.

Fionna felt awkward and looked at Gumball. "Sorry, I think I'm gonna pass this time. I'm just gonna stay home Christmas Eve." She smiled nervously.

Gumball frowned slightly. "Oh, well if you change your mind you're still welcome to come."

Fionna nodded to him and the trio walked through the palace talking but Fionna removed herself from the conversation mentally half way through.


"Girl, what is wrong with you?" Cake asked as she and Fionna stepped into the living room of their house. "That was your chance to go spend Christmas Eve with Gumball and you said no!"

Fionna said and unwound her scarf from her neck. "I don't want to go Cake, it's no big deal." She said and headed toward the kitchen, her best friend hot on her heels.

"How is it not a big deal!?" Cake exclaimed, her fur puffing out with stress.

Fionna almost laughed.

Fionna smiled and patted Cake's head. "It's not a big deal. I'm gonna stay home, you're gonna go with Lord Monochromicorn, and everything's going to be fine. Ok?"

Cake huffed and walked into the kitchen to make herself a sandwich. "Fine, have it your way. But think about going alright?" Fionna mumbled ok as she grabbed a cup of milk and walked back to the couch. "There's only two days till Christmas Eve so really think about it." Cake continued on as she worked on her sandwich.

"Mmhmm." Fionna hummed and looked out the window, watching the sun set in the distance as she sipped her milk. "So what are you and Lord gonna do for Christmas Eve?"

Cake walked over and sat beside Fionna on the couch. "I don't know, just hang out." She munched on her sandwich slightly before looking at Fionna. "Why?"

Fionna shrugged and let her head lean back against the couch. "Was just wondering what it's like to spend Christmas alone with someone special." Fionna said absent mindedly. She didn't notice Cake giving her a weird look. The orange and white cat eventually just shrugged.

"I'll find out and give you all the dets."

Fionna chuckled and smiled at Cake. "You better."

Cake snorted but laughed, making Fionna laugh.

Fionna stood once her milk was empty and stretched. "I'm gonna head to bed early. I'm pretty pooped." She patted Cake's head as she passed her, heading for the stairs leading to the bedroom. She walked up stairs to the second floor landing and flopped down on her bed face first. "Stupid." She grumbled to herself.

"Hey, I'm the only one allowed to call you stupid, stupid." A familiar voice said from above her.

Fionna groaned and rolled over, meeting Marshall's eyes. "Front door, we have one. Use it." She said, making Marshall laugh. Seeing him though made her feel a little better, which confused her. "What's up?" Fionna asked, staying on her back as she watched him float a few feet above her.

"Me." He said in a smart tone way, making Fionna snort and roll her eyes. Marshall grinned. "So, you going to Gumball's little Christmas Bash?"

Fionna arched a brow at the vampire. "Are you?" She countered but that seemed like a stupid question. Gumball and Marshall weren't the best of friends. They were more like rivals really.

Marshall hummed and floated down to sit beside Fionna, looking down at her. "I might." He said before adding, "If you go." Fionna blinked and blushed slightly.

"Well…" Fionna grumbled. "I might." She said and looked at him. "But I wouldn't count on it too much."

Marshall arched a brow. "Why not? You gonna try and stay awake and see Santa? He won't come if he knows you're awake." Marshall said and grinned, half teasing.

Fionna blushed deeper and snorted at him. "I know that dumby!" She said and grabbed her pillow, hitting him with it. Marshall laughed and took the pillow from her, hitting her back with it. Fionna laughed also and reached for another pillow.

A pillow fight ensued between the two, Marshall winning in the end when he grabbed and took Fionna's other pillow, leaving her unarmed and open for attack. He hit her a few times with the pillows, feathers coming out of them and filling the air. Fionna and Marshall Laughed and laid on the floor, feathers floating down around them.

Marshall and Fionna calmed down and Marshall looked at her. Fionna was watching the ceiling trying to catch some of the falling plumage. Some of her hair had slipped out of her bunny hat and feathers were sticking out of the blonde strands. Marshall smiled softly as he watched her. When she turned to him he looked away quickly, blushing slightly. "It looks like snow." He said, trying not to seem awkward.

Fionna looked at him with an arched brow before smiling and nodding. "Yeah it does." She said and reached her hand up, her palm facing toward the ceiling. "Hey Marshall."

"Hmm?"

Fionna turned her head again to look at him, Marshall doing the same to look at her. "Do you spend Christmas Eve with someone special?" She asked catching him by surprise.

"Ugh…" Marshall mumbled, trying to find the right answer. He looked up at the ceiling, putting his hands over his stomach. "Not really. I mean, I sorta want to spend it with someone special."

Fionna tilted her head slightly while she watched him. "What would you do with that special person?"

Marshall blushed as several thoughts went through his head. "Why are you asking such weird questions?" He countered and looked away so she wouldn't see his blush.

Fionna looked back at the roof and frowned slightly. "Was just wondering." She mumbled. "Cake's spending Christmas Eve with Monochromicorn and I just kinda wanted to know what it's like to spend such a special night with someone well special." She said.

Marshall watched Fionna talk and frowned slightly. He wanted to say, Spend it with me. But the words wouldn't form out of fear of what she might say. When he finally found his courage he opened his mouth and-

"What in Aaa is going on in here?" Both Fionna and Marshall jumped when Cake entered the room.

"Oh hey little kitty." Marshall said with a grin, floating up into the air. "Just havin' a pillow fight." He said and floated around Cake.

Fionna stood up and brushed the feathers off of her, smiling. "Yeah, it's no big deal." She said and watched Marshall Float over to her.

"Yeah, plus I was just leaving." Marshall said. He pulled a loan feather from Fionna's hair and smiled at her. "We'll continue our conversation later." He said teasingly and winked, making Fionna blush. He sat the feather in Fionna's hand before he flew out the open window to her bedroom.

"He sure does that a lot." Fionna grumbled and looked at Cake as the cat walked up beside her.

"What was that about?" Cake asked and looked at Fionna.

Fionna shrugged. "I haven't got the slightest idea." She said but smiled down at the feather in her hand.


So what y'all think? I kinda liked it. It was very fluffy and sweet and cotton candy like. Especially when Marshall was staring at Fionna when she wasn't paying attention. So cute!

Like always, R&R!
