"Fionna, wake up," whispered Flame Prince. She groaned, not wanting to wake up yet because she felt really comfortable. He shook her, "come on Fionna." She groaned again and leaned a bit more in Flame Prince's arms. "Five more minutes." She mumbled.
She then soon felt something crawling on her shoulder. Quickly snapping her eyes open, she jumped up and quickly ran out of the cave. "Oh glob! Oh glob! Bug, Ew! Get it off, get it off!" she exclaimed, trying to swat whatever bug that is on her. Hearing someone laugh, she stopped and turned to look at Flame Prince. He was laughing so hard that he was rolling on the ground while holding a part burn stick with a leaf on it.
She pouted, "That's not funny." Getting up from the ground, he was still laughing, "you should have seen your face. It was pretty funny." She grumbled before going to get her backpack, swinging it on her shoulders, and started walking away. Seeing her walk away made him rush to her side, "h-hey, it was only a joke. I'm sorry okay?"
Looking at him from the corner of her eye, she sighed, "You know I can't stand mad at you." He smiled before hugging her. She returned the hug also. Pulling away, Fionna looked at the direction where she thinks the tree house might be at. "It's going to take us a while to get back and that will only make Cake more worried and suspicious at the same time," said Fionna.
He frowned, "why would she get suspicious?" She raised an eyebrow, "dude, she thinks that we're probably doing that." Flame Prince was really confused until he finally got what she meant. He blushed, "what? No, how can she think that we might be doing…it." She shrugged, "I really have no clue what goes on in her head. But yeah, that's what she's going to get suspicious of."
Still blushing, he nodded, "I might as well get Heat to come and pick us up before your sister really does get suspicious." She nodded before he whistled. It took about a couple of seconds until Heat finally came. He landed beside Flame Prince. When the both of them got on, he told Heat to take them back to the tree house.
Upon arriving, Fionna saw Cake outside of the tree house. She had arms crossed and foot tapping. Fionna groaned, "oh great, I'm going to get lecture." Flame Prince pats her head, "you'll be fine." She rolled her eyes, "how would you know? You've never been lectured by Cake before." He chuckled, "yeah, but I know how it is."
She raised an eyebrow, "how so?" He shivered, "let's just say I almost got eaten when I tried to ignore being lectured." Fionna laughed, "You're kidding right?" He shook his head, "nope."
They stopped talking when they arrived next to Cake. Jumping off from Heat, Fionna waved goodbye to Flame Prince before he took off, going back to the fire kingdom. Fionna walked towards her. She nervously waved to her, "h-hey Cake." Cake glared at her, "don't hey me missy. Where were you all night yesterday? You didn't even come home last night."
Fionna sighed, "I know Cake. But you see, I can explain." Cake was still tapping her foot, "you better Fi." She then started to explain everything to her. After when she finished, Cake narrowed her eyes on her, "so nothing else happened right?" Fionna nodded, "yeah, nothing happened." Cake than smiled, "okay."
Right when Fionna was about to sigh in relief Cake interrupted, "but." Fionna frowned in confusion, "but?" Cake pointed a paw at her, "try no to go to tier 15." Fionna had a really quizzical look on her face, "I don't even know what that is." Cake smiled, "oh you know. Just haven't figured it out yet. That's all."
Thinking that Cake is probably weird, Fionna shrugged. They both started walking towards the tree house. Before they could even open the door, a loud rumbling started to make the earth shake.
Cake quickly lay on the grass on her belly while Fionna lost her balance and fell on her butt. "W-what's going on Cake?" Fionna asked. Cake held onto the grass, "I-I don't know Fionna!"
The quake lasted for about a three minutes. Standing back up, both Fionna and Cake wiped the dirt off them. Fionna faced Cake, "what the heck was that?" Cake looked back to Fionna, "I don't know Fi. But whatever it was, it was not good." Fionna nodded, agreeing.
Then out of nowhere, a huge fire army appeared in front of them. Cake gasped and quickly hid behind Fionna. Fionna knew that they were the fire kingdom's army. 'I wonder what they want?' thought Fionna. She was about to question them until the fire queen stepped up, towards her.
The fire queen sternly looked at her, "Fionna the human. I declare you of prison." Her eyes widen, "w-what?" The fire queen narrowed her eyes at her, "you heard what I said." Fionna took a step toward her, "but your highness. What did I do?"
"Yeah! What did she do that she has to be sent to prison?" Cake asked from behind Fionna. The fire queen calmly answered, "I have my reasons. And one of them is concerning my son." Fionna frowned, "Flame Prince?" Fire queen nodded, "that's right. I could've asked Heat to take both you and my son to the fire kingdom, but I decided to spare you another and last day to see him before I put you in prison."
"Why? Why are you going to prison me?" asked Fionna. She didn't understand. She didn't do anything wrong and now she has to go to prison because of something occurring with Flame Prince? Fire Queen scoffed, "like I said. I have my reason. Now guards! Chain her and we're going to put her in the dungeon!"
The fire guards started walking towards Fionna with chains and swords, in case she fought her way out. Cake, not wanting her only sister to be put in dungeon, she quickly transformed herself into a bigger version of her. "No one is going to take Fionna away from me! Especially the fire kingdom!" she exclaimed.
Fire Queen smirked, "oh really? Then I guess we'll just have to hurt you in order to pass you." She nodded her head for her fire guards to go ahead and take Cake down. They followed the order and took a step towards them. Cake readied herself for the coming battle.
"Stop it!"
Everyone turned their attention to Fionna. Her face showed determine, "Cake, back down now." Cake looked at her in concern, "but Fi…" She shook her head, "no Cake. Just back down, please." Hesitating, she slowly nodded her head before going back to her original size. Fionna smiled at her, "thanks for trying to protect me Cake. But this is my problem. I need to handle this myself."
"But Fionna," said Cake. Fionna shook her head, "no Cake. I don't want you to get hurt because of me okay? You're my only sister and always will be." She then turned to look at Fire Queen and the army, "I'm going to go with them willingly. I don't know why I'm being sent to dungeon, but I'm a hero and an adventurer. I'll be okay." 'Hopefully' she lastly thought.
Cake was about to debate again, but knew that once Fionna made up her mind she won't change her decision. Sighing she nodded, "okay Fi. But I'm not making any promises that I won't save you because I will." Fionna laughed, "Yeah. Thanks Cake." They both fist bumped before Fionna started walking towards them.
"I'll go with you Fire Queen. I don't know what your reason is for sending me to prison, but I'll follow no less," said Fionna, determination set on her face. Fire Queen nodded her head and smiled, "good than. Guards! Chain her wrists and ankles." They quickly did as she said. Fionna could feel the fire chains on her wrist and ankles. It didn't burn her because of the fire emblem that she was still wearing. Softly smiling, she looks at Cake from over her shoulder. Cake was watching her with sad, anger, and determination in her eyes.
"Come! Let us go back to the Fire Kingdom!" Fire Queen ordered. They all than started to walk, Fionna in between many guards.
