Okay this one is much longer because I get the feeling you want longer chapters. If this length is good just tell me in a review or something. SOrry no Marshall in this chapter but we do get a surprise guest! Who could it be? (I know). Anyway enjoy!
Chapter 7
''Okay where the Glob have you been?! I wake up to get a glass of milk and you're missing! I almost called Monochromicorn to go out looking for you!'' Cake was standing in the entrance to the tree fort when Fiona had tiptoed in.
''I couldn't sleep, I went for a walk…''
''In the rain?!''
''A wet walk?'' It didn't sound convincing and Fiona knew it.
''Okay, I didn't want to do this but… your grounded missy! No leaving the tree fort for 3 weeks without me got it?''
''3 weeks!? That's dog buns. I wasn't even gone for that long!''
''I might consider lowering it if you tell me where you really went.''
''I went for a walk!''
''4 weeks...''
''What!? That's unfair!''
''5 weeks, tell me where you went I will lower it back down to only 3…''
''Fine! I went to Marshalls alright?!''
''Oh glob Fi, what did he call you or something?'' her voice a mix of surprise and concern.
''No it wasn't a booty call Cake! I went over there, we hung out I left. That's all there was to it.''
''Define 'hung out'''. Cake didn't look very impressed. Fiona knew she had to be careful how she phrased the next few word because Cake could get the wrong idea.
Don't mention Marshall in his underwear, don't mention Marshall in his underwear.
''We just talked and listened to music, that's it.''
Cake squinted at Fiona, trying to find out if she was lying. Fiona felt a bead of sweat on her forehead, but ignored it.
''Fine'' Cake said finally ''I believe you, but your still grounded for sneaking out and getting me all worked up.'' Cake added ''Now get to your room and think about what you did.'' With a huff Fiona dragged her feet up the stairs and collapsed onto her, falling asleep instantly.
''What are you doing Fiona?''
''I'm seventeen as well you know, in case you didn't notice!''
''What the hell Fiona, you know that's personal!''
''Forget I said that''
''Anytime sweetheart''
Fiona woke to a familiar smell. Why does it smell like burning wood? Then her heart stopped and she realised who the smell was. Flame prince.
She quietly tiptoed downstairs and was about to run for the exit when she remember she wasn't allowed out the fort. She could hear Cake's loud chatter to the prince. She had liked flame prince, well more than she liked Marshall that is. What am I going to do, I can't stay here but I can't leave without Cake having a hissy fit.
Suddenly Cake turned around the corner and spotted Fiona. ''Oh Fi! Finally you're awake! You wouldn't be who just turned up.'' Cake was beaming, though her voice sounded mildly annoyed.
''Oh I think I could…'' but she was cut short because at that moment the Flame Prince himself came round the corner.
''Hey Fifi, you look well.'' She could see a smile playing across his lips. He hadn't changed much since the last time she had seen him. Same hair flaring upward, same bright orange clothes and face, same… everything.
''Not to be rude or anything but you no longer have the right to call me that.'' She snapped at him. She hadn't wanted to him ever again and wasn't pleased by the arrangement that Cake had surely cooked up as part of her pay back for last night.
''Well I have to pop out, see Lord Monochromicorn and all. You kids have fun.'' She started walking toward the door but stopped and turned around to say ''oh and Fiona hunny remember, you're not allowed to leave the house.'' She was smirking. So this is payback…
''Okay Ignitus why are you here?''
He looked confused ''aren't you happy I came? Cake said you asked me to come…''
''Well Cake says a lot of things that aren't true, this being one of them.''
'Oh I didn't realise. I'm guessing you still hate my guts?''
''Wow how did you guess?'' she said sarcastically.
''I can tell when a girl hates me Fiona… Whatever I needed to talk to you anyway.''
''Whatever it is, I'm sure I don't really care.'' She crossed her arms.
''You know you're not the same girl I loved once, you've changed.''
''Well sometimes change is for the better. I'm not a gullible as I was back then.''
''Not just that, you much more… confident. Its actually quite a good thing.'' He had a small smile on his face now.
''Whatever, is that what you wanted to tell me? Cause if it is you can leave now.''
'' No it wasn't. I wanted to tell you that a couple of days back my mother went to talk to Prince Gumball about a matter of great importance. About a week or so ago the Ice Queen attacked part of our Kingdom.''
Fiona was surprised at this. Why would the Ice Queen attack the Fire Nation? ''What? How could she do that, wouldn't she just melt?''
''Exactly what I thought, but I overheard Gumball and my mom talking and they said she used griffins to drop a ton of snow on top of a fire village. Of course many died and dozens were injured. We just don't understand why.''
''And you thought I would know?''
''No don't be stupid Fiona. I thought that maybe you could sneak in to her palace, maybe find out what's going on.''
''And why should I do that?''
''Because if we don't find out soon and stop her, this may turn into war.''
