"Oh this is bad! This is so bad!" cake wailed anxiously.
"What are you talking about Cake?" Fionna said curiously.
She was still in a dream like trance after meeting the charming young man but was also back to normality.
"That was the Prince of the Flame Kingdom! He's bad news babe you better stay away from him!" Cake cried desperately.
"So his name is Flame prince? Sounds kinda cool" Fionna said dreamily.
Cake sighed heavily "I tried to hook you two up to get over Gumball. I swear I never knew what he was REALLY like only that he seemed like a nice guy!" she explained anxiously.
"DON'T SAY THAT CAKE!" Fionna snapped angrily.
Cake was shocked. She was used to seeing Fionna moody but not like this "Fionna…" Cake said in disbelief.
"He was beautiful. His skin glowed like a burning star it was magical" Fionna said gently cupping her cheeks with her hands dreamily.
Cake smiled "You like him huh?" She teased gently.
Fionna nodded "We have to find him cake I need to tell him how I feel" She said boldly.
Cake was still uncertain about Flame prince but if it was for a good cause and young love she was willing to be of help.
"Ok sugar let's find you your dream guy" cake said proudly.
Later
Cake was looking through the woods with Fionna atop her head. She had transformed to get a larger range of sight.
"Look Fionna we may not find this guy" cake warned sternly.
"I have faith in my heart Cake. We're connected by our souls that's how strong love is" she said bravely.
Cake swallowed nervously "Didn't you say you liked Marshall. I mean he is a little rough but he's a great guy" she suggested.
Before Fionna could answer a brown bird ambushed them. Its feathers were charred and his tail feathers were alight.
"Oh my gosh! What happened?" Fionna asked worriedly.
"That crazy hothead burned me!" The bird squawked unhappily.
Fionna felt her cheeks burn and her heart race. They had been able to locate him and she could confess her love.
"Show us the way fluffy" Cake said firmly.
The bird pointed in the direction and then flew off. As he left he mumbled about his feathers being burned and stupid freak.
Eventually Cake shrank down and they followed an orange glow to the middle of the woods. There was a smell of burning plants which worried them. The pair hid behind a tree and then slowly peered around to see what the elemental was up to.
Flame Prince was sat beside a lake gazing at his own reflection. He looked amazed by the blue liquid and the nature around it. He reached out and touched a water lily only for it to burn to ash shocking him.
"He's so innocent. Like a baby fire wolf discovering snow" Fionna said lovingly.
"He's BURNING nature!" Cake hissed angrily. She was shocked Fionna liked such a wicked guy but she couldn't argue.
"Yeah…And he glows like a star" Fionna giggled.
Flame Prince reached forward and touched the lake. He yelled in agonizing pain after his hand was injured by the water.
"Oh no are you ok?" Fionna cried anxiously racing forward from her hiding place.
Flame Prince stood up in shock but did not back away. His body glowed brighter as he was filled with fear and curiosity.
"Oh glob!" Fionna cried fearfully and stepped away accidentally stepping on one.
Flame prince cried out in pain and backed away. He was confused to why she was hurting him when he had done nothing wrong.
"Am…Am I hurting you?" Fionna asked nervously.
"YES! You've been hurting me all this time!" He snapped angrily.
Fionna felt a sharp pain in her chest. She didn't want to hurt him only to understand him and possibly ask him out.
"Wait are you…Are you TRYING to hurt me?" Flame Prince asked cautiously.
Fionna's cheeks turned red "I…I guess I am kinda following you" she confessed shyly.
Flame Prince was appalled. Was it too much for him to want to find a loyal girl who would accept him?
He fled deeper into the woods burning the grass into cinders and leaving a scorched trail behind him. A few trees became charred and their leaves burned to ash.
"Wait! Please don't go I wanna talk to you!" Fionna pleaded racing after him.
"Won't she ever listen to me?" Cake muttered crossly as she raced after Fionna and Flame Prince. It was strange how weird her love-struck sister was acting around a guy.
Suddenly Flame Prince turned into a fireball and landed in front of them sending them flying into a nearby tree. A large frown was plastered across his face "You shall PAY for insulting me!" He raged angrily.
He began aiming fireballs at Cake and Fionna. As a response of defence Fionna pulled out her crystal sword. She sliced through the fire balls fiercely; she would protect Cake and prove her love was true.
"Look please stop! I don't wanna fight you..." Fionna yelled. "…You're the most amazing person I've ever met!" she confessed firmly.
Flame Prince frowned "Why do you do this? You say you like me then you hurt me!" he yelled angrily. "And when I come to ask you why you did it you act innocent and yet you act as if we have never met!" he demanded angrily.
Fionna withdrew her sword. She then approached him slowly making sure to dodge the flames "I can't explain how I feel about you. I wanna get closer to you and spend time with you. I wanna play BMO with you and have fun; I've never been good at describing my feelings but I'm definitely aware that I wanna date you!" She cried loudly her cheeks burning.
Flame Prince blushed. He had never heard such sweet words from a girl before "I…I…That is I…" he said nervously. He began playing with his fingers nervously and his fire began to glow brightly.
Fionna smiled widely her eyes growing huge. She cupped her cheeks with her hands and began to giggle shyly.
Suddenly he became unhappy and his fire became smaller "No…No this is just a trick. Once I lower my guard you'll try and hurt me again!" He said bitterly.
Fionna was hurt deeply. She did like him ever so much but he wasn't giving her a chance. Why was it he hated her so much and why was cake so nervous around him?
"Because this world cannot accept me I will make my own fire kingdom! Then I shall be free and able to rule in peace!" He declared sternly.
"Oh no!.." Cake cried worriedly. "…The only kingdom around here is the Goblins they'll be killed!" she said anxiously.
Flame prince set the field ablaze and began to gaze into the distance to locate his new home.
"Please stop this! I just wanna talk I mean you no harm!" Fionna begged anxiously.
Flame Prince created a wall of fire "You shall not pass. Your interference is becoming a nuisance to me!" He declared firmly. He then escaped leaving the pair alone in the burning field.
A couple of minutes later
They had managed to put the fire out and save the forest but Flame Prince had escaped much to their dismay.
"Sugar you need to whoop that guys ass!" Cake said firmly. She was usually a romantic person but this was getting out of hand.
Fionna shook her head "I won't hurt the guy I like Cake" she declared bitterly.
Cake folded her arms crossly "Fionna what's more important to you. Saving those poor Goblin folk and being a Hero or winning over some hot headed prince who just keeps ignoring you?" she asked sternly.
Fionna sighed heavily. She did want to confess to Flame Prince but her duty as a hero was also important to her "What's the plan?" she asked cautiously.
Cake smiled "Atta girl. We're gonna need fire proof suits and weapons" she said proudly.
Fionna smiled. With fire proof suits she could get closer to her dream guy and finally confess how she felt.
"Let's do this" Fionna said bravely.
Later that evening
The pair arrived at the Goblin Kingdom in their new Flame proof suits. They had gotten some scraps of metal from the river of junk.
They suddenly caught sight of Flame prince who was burning everything to cinders while Goblin folk screamed in fear.
"Flame Prince please stop this!" Fionna cried loudly in an attempt to attract his attention.
Flame Prince ignored her pleas and continued to wreak havoc. As the pair followed him he shot flames at them but they were unaffected thanks to their suits.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" Flame prince demanded angrily and shot more fire at them with determination.
Fionna deflected the attacks with ease. She was used to combat but her will power to confess was stronger.
"My cart!" A goblin villager cried in dismay.
"I got it!" Cake cried anxiously and put out the fire with foam.
Flame Prince cried out in agonizing pain. Why did the world hate him all he desired was love and acceptance?
"Ok honey this is the last straw! He is way too dangerous!" Cake said sternly. She loaded her foam cannon and aimed for Flame Prince.
"NO!" Fionna screamed anxiously. She pushed over cake causing her foam to land on a house. Unfortunately a few splashes hit Flame Prince furthering angering him.
"How DARE you hurt me! I will end this world and my suffering along with it!" Flame Prince raged and transformed into his beast form.
A tear spilled down his cheek shocking Fionna. She began to realize she had been hurting him both physically and emotionally.
Fionna struggled but eventually tore herself out of her suit desperate to heal his suffering. "Flame Prince wait! Let me explain PLEASE!" She begged bitterly.
Flame Prince ignored her cries and continued his rampage and destroying the Goblin Kingdom with his burning flames.
"I've…I've failed! Oh glob I've missed my chance" Fionna whispered quietly.
"Nah you haven't failed sweetie. You're saving all these Goblins from perishing" Cake reassured her.
Fionna falls to her knees giving up hope of ever finding her true love. It was a dream that would never come true.
The smoke began to overpower her causing her to cough violently. Usually she would have fought against it but she was broken.
"FIONNA!" Cake cried desperately as she put out the remaining fire.
Fionna began to sob bitterly in her sleep. She was tired of hurting and being unable to be with someone she liked. It wasn't fair WHY did guys reject her?
A few of the tears spilled onto Flame Prince's fire which burned him badly. He was sick of being harmed by this wench and her hurtful actions.
He turned to yell at her but was stunned when he saw her weeping. There was water leaking from her body which intrigued him. He flew over to her and began to watch her cry for a short time.
Slowly his flames began to die out and prevent the burning of the kingdom. He didn't notice though as he was too busy watching this mysterious girl.
Fionna coughed violently for a short time and was stunned to see Flame Prince watching her.
Flame Prince looked at her solemnly "I understand now. You're a water elemental which is why you hurt me".
"No…No you got it all wrong I'm not…" Fionna said anxiously desperate to explain.
"I'm touched by your fondness pretty one but we cannot be together if all we do is hurt one another" Flame Prince explained in a pained voice.
"No!" Fionna cried fiercely catching his attention.
Flame Prince was shocked by her bravery. She was unlike any girl he had ever met before and she was rather pretty too.
Fionna clenched her fists bravely "I can take the pain. If it means I can be with you then I don't care how much it burns!" She cried loudly.
After realizing what she had just said Fionna became quiet and shy. She felt her face turning red with embarrassment.
Flame prince came closer "You would defy nature to be mine?" he said rather touched by her words.
"I…I guess so" Fionna said nervously. She couldn't believe what she was saying it was very embarrassing.
Flame Prince hugs Fionna to which she accepts but he burns her causing her to push him away suddenly.
"Goodbye sweet girl" Flame Prince said quietly and fled leaving a trail behind him.
Fionna watched him go her heart heavy with sadness. She knew love wasn't easy but she was willing to try.
