Fiona woke up in the candy kingdom's hospital. And realized three things.

1. There was an awful pounding in her head.

2. She didn't know why she was in there.

and

3. Prince Gumball was sitting next to her, writing something on a piece of paper.

He stopped writing, and looked up at her.

"Good morning sunshine", he smirked.

She sat up slowly in bed, and noticed how dizzy she felt.

"Is it the morning?"

"No, it's more like 8:00 pm. How are you feeling?"

"Tired", Fionna said. "Why am I in here?"

"Your hand", Gumball said. "You cut it deep with a piece of broken glass when that volumetric flask exploded." He looked down. "You lost a lot of blood and fainted." His eyes looked back at her. "I'm so sorry", he said, the sincerity never leaving his expression.

"I'm okay, PG. Just a little dizzy."

"Have some orange juice". He handed her a glass, and she took it willingly. "It will help", he said quietly. She glanced at him, and his eyes held guilt in them. She wanted to tell him it wasn't his fault. It was just a cut in the hand, but she didn't.

She took a few sips and looked back at him. "Can I leave? I feel fine", she lied. She was still pretty dizzy, but she never liked hospitals.

"Soon. First the nurse needs to change your bandage. You didn't just deeply cut your hand, but also your wrist, and just before the elbow. You wouldn't stop bleeding."

She looked down at her right hand, and there were bandages tightly wrapped around her palm, and up to her elbow. She remembered now. When they were down in the lab...Yeah.

Then caked walked in the room with a cup of water in her hand. She saw that Fiona was conscious. She grinned at Fionna, who smiled back.

"Hi, baby. Are you all right?", she asked waving her tail around.

"Yeah. I just want to get out of here", she said uneventfully.

Cake sat on fionna's bed and sipped the water. "We'll be going soon now that you're awake."

The door opened and a lollipop nurse walked in. "Hello Fionna. I'm nurse Lily, and I'm going to change your bandage." She took Fionna's hand gently, and started unwrapping it until it was completely off.

Fionna's wound was cleaned, but it still looked pretty nasty. Especially her wrist. The skin was somewhat opened and slightly turned outward. It was just gross. The nurse wrapped it up as tight as it had been before.

Before Fionna new it she was out of the hospital. She said goodbye to Gumball, who still seemed to be guilty, and headed home.

It was darkening as they crossed the greenlands. The treehouse was in sight, and wasn't too far away.

Then Cake said,"I heard what happened in lab. Gumball called me as soon as you were in the hospital room. You lost a lot of blood. A cut in the palm and is deadly if it's not taken care of quickly, especially since it was so deep."

Fionna looked at Cake, who was silent, possibly thinking about what events occurred while Fionna was passed out. Fionna couldn't help but ask,"Did anything happen while I was unconsious?"

Cake looked up at her. They stopped walking. Cake was calm, but a strange look was in her eyes. She spoke, "Your heart stopped at one point. You were already really pale. The candy doctors and nurses were used to treating candy people, not you, Fionna. You lost so much blood by then. You were barely there, and then your heart stopped. But...but Gumball did something. You know how he's always trying to revive dead people?"

Fionna got it. She was dead. She understood, but answered her anyway. "Yeah...", she said.

"I think he made a breakthrough. I think he finally found a cure for the dead. And...he saved your life."

Fionna was blank. She processed it as best as she could, but she couldn't believe it. She died? Then she looked at Cake and realized she must have caused her to suffer terribly. Imagine being called to a hospital only to see your sister die. She couldn't imagine it.

"I'm so sorry Cake", Fionna said, now guilty for worrying her sister so much.

Cake Looked back up at her seriously. "I'm just glad you're alright. But think about it Fionna. Gumball found a cure for death. And, he saved your life."

"Yeah...I really owe him big time. But, I really wonder what he's gonna do now that he found a cure. I want to talk to him about it."

...

Late that night, as Fiona lay in her bed, she thought about the events that occurred that day. Something had been worrying PG. On top of that he said something was strange about the blue giant's blood. And on top of that the volumetric flask exploded. And lastly, he had finally found a cure for death.

Fiona pieced it together in her head. Maybe the cure had to do with the giant's blood that Gumball took as a sample from the side of her neck. Or maybe not. She noticed something had been troubling him even before he took the blue blood as a sample.

She sighed. Fionna would just have to ask him about it. But for now she needed sleep. But then she thought about when she was in the shower, washing off the blood, when she thought about Marshall Lee.

That night all she dreamed about was him playing on his bass next to her while she slept in the hospital. And in her dreams, he was singing to her softly, while she was in the hospital's bed. Then her heart stopped, and he stopped singing. She felt like she was falling, and she didn't like the feeling.

She didn't like the feeling of falling , while Marshall seemed to go further and further away. She didn't like it at all.
