Fionna woke up to an empty house. Cake had gone to work and apparently Gumball had left already as well, leaving only a note to show he had ever even been there.

'Fionna,

Please forgive my behavior last night; I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable. I realize what you may or may not have felt for me in the past is long gone by now, and my current feelings or actions will not change that.

Again, I apologize

-Princeton

She sighed and set down the letter, trudging into the kitchen and chugging the remains of their milk from the jug. After doing so she shuffled over to their living room to play some first person shooter game. Her face formed a concentrated pout and her blonde hair flopped about a small amount when she groaned after dying as her hat lay discarded a few feet away.

She about screamed bloody murder when she saw a face in the window, looking to her phone, shocked to see the time was early evening. Looking back to the face she recognized it vaguely, the red hair obvious giveaway.

Wait, what? How did he know where she lived?

She opened the door cautiously, watching him suspiciously. He smiled awkwardly and waved, a blush coating his tanned cheeks. "Hey Fionna." He rubbed the back of his neck, his hoodie rustling as he did so.

"How the hell do you know where I live?" She hissed, eyes narrowing at him. She didn't open the door yet; she was still suspicious of the boy on her porch.

His hand went into his pocket and she flinched back. He rolled his eyes at her, pulling out a small book. "Student handbook. It has addresses in it. Sorry if I creeped you out by coming over before asking." He blushed and his hand went to rub the back of his neck. "I was just wondering if maybe…you wanted to see a concert or movie or whatever." His brown eyes flicked down to his shoes, avoiding her.

"Uh…sure! Sounds awesome!" She grinned, opening the door wider, less concerned with his odd appearance. He looked up and smiled back at her.

"Cool." He stopped smiling and shoved his hands in his pocket, leaning on his heels. Fionna started laughing.

"What's wrong flamey? Can't you smile?" She pushed his shoulder and he took a step forward to catch his balance.

"I can smile. I just usually don't. Not much to smile about, y'know?" He spoke monotonously, and Fionna raised an eyebrow.

"Well that's not mysterious." She joked, looking back into the house. "You can come in if you want, you know." She gestured back into the house dramatically, and he rolled his eyes yet again. He walked in nonetheless and she smiled, following after and closing the door.

Plopping down on the couch, she threw a controller at the redhead, laughing when he fumbled to catch it. He huffed and sat down net to her, taking off his shoes. Fionna clicked on the game she was previously playing and set it to multiplayer.

Flame smirked; he knew he was good at this game. " Be prepared to lose, Fio." He joked, making her scoff haughtily at him.

"Sure…" She drawled, looking at him from the corner of her eye. He chuckled at her, his face setting into a determined face.

"Let the game begin!" She yelled while throwing her hands in the air as the virtual battlefield appeared on screen. After a few rounds they were equally tied. Flame flopped over the armchair of the couch, feeling at home with Fionna next to him.

"Fine I give up. You beat me, well, tied with me." He huffed, raising his palms in defeat. She whooped loudly, fist pumping in victory.

"Hell yeah I did!" She grinned, punching him in the shoulder.

He pouted, "Ouch Fionna, that really hurts…" he whined mockingly at the adventurous girl.

"Oh shush you, it did not. The only thing hurt is your ego, princey boy." She rolled her eyes, smiling softly. They both jumped a few inches above their spots when a knock at the door resounded through the house. "I'll get it!" Fionna smiled.

Marshall was there, looking ashamed. "Look, Fionna I'm sorry about-"

Flame appeared next to her, looking passively at the raven-haired boy in the doorway. Fionna glared at Marshall. "Leave." She hissed. "You said you didn't care about me, you didn't want to be friends. So leave." Her left hand clutched the opposite arm, looking as though she were restraining herself.

"Punch me." Marshall sighed. "Kick me I don't even care. Fionna I didn't mean it like that." She shook her head.

"She told you to leave." Flame growled, stiffening. Marshall scoffed.

"You replaced me? Hah I knew it." He laughed sadly.

"What?" She whimpered, looking up at him. His eyes looked at her, looking reddish with anger.

"Flame boy." Marshall scoffed at him. "Fionna I thought you had better taste." He growled angrily. Flame eyes narrowed before he slid past Fionna, bringing himself eye to eye with Marshall. His hazel eyes looked over the opposite boy, looking unaffected by his comment.

Fionna looked between the two, wondering what they were doing. "Not man enough to punch me?" Marshall jabbed, sneering.

Flame chuckled, "Or maybe I don't want to get the blood of an imbecile on my hands." Marshall's face turned enraged quickly and his fist launched at Flame's face.

"Nuh-uh." Flame grabbed the fist with one hand and waggled his index finger with the other. He tightened his grip on the fist, causing Marshall to hiss in pain. He let go, spinning Marshall around before pushing him out of the house. "Don't come back here." Flame growled, closing the door behind him and turning to see a startled Fionna.

"Uhm…" Flame started, blushing and realizing how strange he had acted towards Marshall. "Sorry you just…he just…he pisses me off."

"I can take care of myself Flame. I'm not some little girl who needs some guy she just met to come save her. I'm not a damsel in distress." She muttered, looking angry and grateful at the same time.

"I never said you weren't. I think you're a kickass girl who wont take any crap from anyone. That's the reason I like you. You aren't like those pansy girls who are obsessed over how they look. You just be you." His face was completely serious as he told her this, though hers was as red a fire engine.

"T-thanks I guess." She looked away. "Not so sure how to respond to that though…"

He shrugged. "You don't have to. I was just telling you what my opinion is. You may not know how amazing you, but that doesn't mean I cant try to tell you." He suddenly blushed dark. "Heh I've never talked this much before."

She laughed a little, "wanna play another round?" she asked, picking up a gaming controller.

"Hell yeah I do." He smirked and she started up the game.
