Gumball was pacing a room, Fionna sitting in a chair, staring at the ground. Gumball sighed, looking at her and saying,
"Fionna, why won't you tell me what happened?"
"I did tell you."
"Not everything…"
He had stopped pacing and walked over to her, leaning over her, placing his hands on the arms of the chair.
"Why won't you look at me, then?"
Grabbing at her skirt, she tried to keep her calm. Gumball would totally f-l-i-p if she told him everything. He looked down at her, and saying,
"You're with-holding crucial information, and that's a violation of Candy Kingdom law…Fionna, I don't want to throw you in jail for something like this, so, please…Just tell me what happened."
She silently sighed, calming her nerves (again). Looking up and staring him in the face, she says in an unwavering voice.
"I've told you everything that happened. I encountered him, he did no harm, and we talked. Nothing else happened."
They stare at each other for a moment, then Gumball breaks off and faces away from Fionna.
"…Fine. I'll believe you. You can go now."
She felt guilty, having to lie to him about this. She stood and walked to the door, twisting the knob and opening it. Going through the door, she shuts it quietly.
Gumball looks at the door, growing more suspicious than he already is. In the room, he says to himself,
"Maid, I need you to do something for me."
Out of the darkness comes Peppermint Maid, giving a small bow.
"Yes, m'lord?"
"I want you to watch Fionna for me…She is hiding something…"
"Yes, m'lord."
Just like she came in, she disappeared into the darkness…
