"Hey Tree Trunks!" the two girls said in unison as Tree Trunks opened the door.
"Oh, why hello there, girls. Come on in," the old elephant said. "What can I do you for?"
"Fionna's been mad down lately, so I figured she could use some of your apple pie." Cake said, stepping inside. "Oh, hi Mrs. Pig."
Mrs. Pig turned around and smiled at the two of them. "Hey there, you two! Come for a visit?" Tree Trunks walked over to Mrs. Pig and rubbed up against her.
"They just came for some pie, my dear," Tree Trunks said, starting to kiss his beloved Mrs. Pig. Fionna and Cake's faces turned to horror as the pair in front of them began kissing. The two girls exchanged glances, debating whether to leave the situation all together, no pie in hand. Luckily, Cake noticed a half-eaten pie on Tree Trunks' dining table, which she stretched an arm over the couple to grab.
"Come on, girl, let's make a break for it," Cake whispered, as Fionna grabbed Cake's other arm and dragged them out of the house. The two girls sat down under a particularly shady tree on the outskirts of the forest that surrounded Tree Trunks' home. They began to dig into the leftover apple pie.
"Man, Tree Trunks never disappoints," Fionna said, playing with her piece of pie before shoving it into her mouth. Though the pie was definitely comfort food that helped to sooth her broken heart, it didn't put her mind to ease at all.
Cake laughed. "You said it, girl. I wonder what his secret is?"
After a series of loud squeals from Tree Trunks' house, Fionna and Cake both agreed they didn't need to know the answer to that with an awkward nod.
"Let's get going to the Ice Kingdom, sugar," Cake said, growing to a larger size so they could travel faster. Fionna nodded and leaped onto her back, more invigorated than before.
"Cake, why do we have to find out what's the hiphap with Ice Queen?" Fionna said, remembering the actual quest they had to go on. Cake bit her lip as she carefully walked around a family of rabbits bickering in the forest.
"Honey, you know I don't know the answer to that. Something weird is going down, you know? I've never seen PG with his panties in a twist like that. Maybe he thinks Ice Queen is doing some weird junk."
"Maybe, who knows. Guys are weird," Fionna said, while slashing at vines and tree branches that hit their faces.
"You said it. But, they're worth it, when you find the right one, you know?" Cake purred. Fionna chuckled and shook her head at the infatuated cat.
"You think Lord Monochromicorn is the one for you? I mean, I guess he meant something if you were doing tier 15 material." Fionna said.
Cake stopped walking and whipped her head around. "Who told you about tier 15?" she asked, her eyes narrowing.
Fionna laughed again. "I'm 18, Cake! I think I know a little thing or two about tier 15. I mean, how did you think I thought you got preggers?"
"That's beside the point! You better stay away from that, girl. You don't know what cray stuff you can get into." Cake said, while beginning to walk again.
"Okay, I've got it! No tier 15 for me." Fionna said, putting her hands up in submission. Fionna was quiet for a moment, and then finally gathered the courage to ask Cake something she had been wondering. "Cake, how did you and your man, you know... get to tier 15? Like, physically speaking, how is that possible?"
Cake turned around. "Anything is possible with a little flexibility," Cake said with a wink.
Fionna cringed at the thought. "Dude, that's not okay!" Fionna laughed, smacking Cake on the back of the head. Cake yelped and joined in the laughing.
With the Ice Queen's lair in sight, Cake shrunk back down to size, as the pair climbed up the icy slope leading to the palace.
