Gumball walks outside, ignoring the harsh words thrown at him and the glares from other burn his back while Marshall flies beside him, holding his soft pink hand. They exit the kingdom finally, with Marshall flying ahead of PG, teasing him. They finally end up at the treehouse, knocking politely.
"Oh, hey guys!" Cake shouts. "You here for Fionna?" The couples nods. "She's upstairs, in her room. I think she's sad, but she wont tell me anything." Cake frowns. "But, you're welcome to try to cheer her up, and I know you will!" They smiles modestly and head up the stairs.
"Oh, hi Gumball, hi Marshall." Fionna says gravely.
"Hey Fi." They smile sympathetically. "So I think we found a solution to your 'forever alone' problem." Marshall smirks.
"Uh.. guys, doesn't that make me seem desperate, you setting me up with someone?" Fionna sighs.
"No, we're HELPING and we hate to see our little Fionna sad." PG gives a reassuring smile.
"So will you meet him?" asks Marshall.
"Sure." Fionna grins nervously. "What do I have to lose?" She starts leading them out the door.
"That's the spirit!" Marshall shouts.
They walk out the treehouse door, waving goodbye to Cake.
"So where are we going, exactly?" Fionna asks.
"Uh.. The Fire Kingdom." Gumball mumbles sheepishly.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Fionna questions.
"Not really, we're gonna get Flamba to put that curse thingy on us so we're fire proof!" Marshall beams.
They walk to the meadow where Flamba is, right outide the entrance to the Fire Kingdom.
"Hey Flamba!" The tiny fire cat jerks.
"Glob, you kids scared me! Can't you see it's twilight and 3 kids coming out of nowhere and scaring an innocent little cat like me, horrible!" She scoffs with her heavily accented voice.
"Please Flamba, we need a favor." Fionna pleads.
"What?" she asks arrogantly.
"We need you to cast the flame spell on us, so we don't get burned the the Fire Kingdom." Marshall answers.
"Fine, but youse owes me one." She winks playfully and trotts off towards the trees. Fionna, Marshall and Prince Gumball trudge along into the vast city, lava flowing around it, dotted with volcanos. The palace door is huge and ornate, carvings of flames on the edges. They kncok and an awkward butler stumbles out,
"Hello, how may I help you?" He asks towering over them.
"We'd like to see Flame Prince. We're friends of his, we miss him." Marshall speaks for the group.
"I see, very well." He goes inside, they follow.
The door creaks open to a room with other fire folk and the Fire Prince in a glass jar. "His father isn't here, but I'm sure he wont mind the Prince being with you 3 for a while." He smiles generously.
"Thanks." Marshall replies. The butler pulls a lever that send the Prince's jar down, he rushes out and goes next to PG.
"I know you... sort of." He glance and Fionna and Marshall. "But who are they?" He asks suspiciously.
"This is my boyfriend, Marshall." He points to the pale vampire, acting formal. "And this is my best friend, Fionna." She looks around nervously, blushing. She wiggles her fingers awkwardly at FP. He chuckles.
"Now, Flame, can we go back to my palace? It's a little hot for my taste here." He asks.
"Sure, I'd do anything to get out of here, I'm so sick of this place, my parnets never let me go anywhere or do anything." He sighs.
"Let's go!" Fionna cheers, leading them out the door.
They end up at the Candy Kindom. Prince Gumball looks decisivley at Fionna. "Hmm, me and Marshall have stuff to do, why don't you go hang out with FP and meet us back here later."
"Sure." she blushes. FP's flame growns brighter, smiling nercously at Fionna as he takes her hand.
