Flame Prince froze in his place. His eyes widened at the sight of Fionna's dripping wet body wrapped tightly in a thin towel. He gazed at her long trailing blonde hair and felt his heart thump loudly in his chest.
"PERVERT!" Fionna screamed and wrapped her arms tightly around her chest blushing madly. Flame Prince shook his head, snapping out of his trance, but couldn't take his eyes off of Fionna.
"Fionna? What is it, girl? I heard-" Cake stretched up the stairs before Flame Prince could speak and she saw Fionna's soaked body. However, that was not shocking to her, what shocked her was Flame Prince who was standing with his back pressed against the wall and staring at Fionna, what seemed to be, lustfully. "Avert your eyes, pervert!" Cake hissed and lunged towards Flame Prince. He shook his head and shut his eyes, covering them with his hands for extra measure.
"Sorry! Oh Glob I'm so sorry! So-" Flame Prince felt not only his face heat up, but also his flames as they burned a hole in the side of the sisters' treehouse and sent the prince falling from the top of the treehouse, to the grasslands below. Flame Prince flailed his arms as he fell hoping that Cake would stretch him to safety, but much to his dismay, he landed with a loud thud in the long grass which became burned on contract. Flame Prince moaned in pain and shut his eyes in embarrassment rather than discomfort. He couldn't shake the image of Fionna's girly curves and smooth peach skin out of his teenage mind. "Stop thinking like that, Flame Prince." He thought as he felt his flames spread further and further.
"What's got you's in a funk?" a voice piped. Flame Prince's eyes burst open and he looked up to see his flambit companion hovering above him, flicking her tail from side to side in curiosity.
"Flamba? What are you doing here?" Flame Prince asked and heaved himself up to a sitting position.
"Nothing." She said in a sing-song voice. Flame Prince rolled his eyes.
"Mom sent you to watch me, didn't she?" Flame Prince said dully, knowing his mother's paranoia over him.
"Maybe."Flamba hummed. FP let out a long sigh and fell back in the grass letting out a huff. "Hey, stayin' with Fionna can't be that bad. No need to go's all suicidal and jump outta the top of her house." Flamba laughed nonchalantly. Flame Prince glared at Flamba and glanced at the Cloud Kingdom above.
"It's not that." Flame Prince saw the image of Fionna flash in his mind and put his palm over his eyes as his blush returned to his cheeks. Flamba grinned at the sight and raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, I see how's it's going." Flamba nodded. Flame Prince glanced at the flambit and sat back up.
"What are you going on about, Flamba?" Flame Prince questioned and looked suspiciously at her. She merely laughed and pointed at the prince.
"You like Fionna!" she yelled obviously. Flame Prince was red as lava now and he shoved Flamba off his lap, his flames growing in irritation.
"I-I do not!" Flame Prince stammered.
"Flame and Fionna sitting in a tree, K-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Flamba sang mockingly.
"W-would you stop that!" he hissed, growing angrier and angrier.
"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!" Flamba sang and clutched her sides laughing. "You are so childish, Flame Prince!" she said between giggles.
"Says the one who's mocking a royal prince." Flame Prince growled and felt a fireball building in his fist.
"Flame Prince?" a light voice called. Flame Prince gasped in surprise and the fireball disappeared in the wind.
"Right on time!" Flamba sneered and dashed out of view.
"Flamba! You-" Flame Prince began and aimed his flames towards the direction where the flambit disappeared.
"Flame Prince?" he turned and his eyes met Fionna's. She stood there and looked at Flame Prince in confusion, tilting her head and her golden locks followed.
"F-Fionna?" FP stammered and stumbled to sit on a log. "Wh-what are you doing out here?" he asked. Fionna smiled and took a seat next to him. Her bright wet hair draped lightly over her shoulders and brushed Flame Prince's hand causing him to blush.
"I like to sit out here after I shower. The wind helps dry my hair." Fionna explained and brushed her fingers through her hair. Flame Prince frowned at the mention of her shower.
"Listen, Fionna, I'm sorry that I-I…I mean I didn't…I just…" Flame Prince paused. Again, he had no excuse to his rude actions to the human girl.
"Flame Prince it's no big deal really." Fionna said with an innocent smile.
"But it is! I've been taught to be a gentleman and I haven't been gentlemanly at all around you Fionna!" Flame Prince replied. "It's because you love her." A voice whispered in his mind. Flame Prince shook the thought away and cleared his throat. "I just…just want to apologize. I'm so-" FP stopped as Fionna leaned in closer to him. He froze in his spot and felt Fionna place a finger over his lips.
"It's ok, Flame Prince. It was an accident." She whispered and removed her finger. Flame Prince couldn't help but lean in too.
"Fionna…" he said softly. He felt the human girl's warm breath on his lips and his eyes fixed on her perfect blonde hair and blue eyes. His flames twitched in excitement. Fionna's heart beat madly in her chest as she watched embers dance in the wind.
A low growl interrupted the two and they both backed up in embarrassment. Flame Prince put a hand on his empty stomach and Fionna blushed with embarrassment as her stomach growled hungrily again. She glanced over to Flame Prince who bit his lip with a blush. She shouldn't help but giggle.
"Are you hungry?" Fionna asked with a laugh.
"No!" Flame Prince snapped and straightened up only to have another hungry growl emit from his stomach. "Maybe." He mumbled defeated and slouched in his seat. He heard a rustle of cloth and looked over curiously at Fionna who was rummaging in her green backpack.
"I think I have some..." Fionna mumbled tugging out various objects and dumping them on the ground. "Here!" Fionna declared and brought out a dark black drawstring bag. Flame Prince raised his eyebrows in curiosity. Fionna saw this and opened the tiny pack taking out a lump of coal. Flame Prince's eyes widened and he could feel his mouth drool at the sight of food. Fionna giggled at the prince's response and tossed the bag to him.
Flame Prince didn't hesitate to open the small bag and draw out a lump of coal, but something stopped him from devouring it. He threw it up in the air and caught it, feeling for the weight of the chunk.
"What's wrong?" Fionna asked in curiosity as she stuffed the excess junk back in her pack.
"I've never seen this kind of coal in my kingdom before." Flame Prince said.
"Well of course you haven't!" Fionna replied. Flame Prince turned to face her. "I-I mean, I found this mountain of coal in a cave during one of my adventures. You've probably never seen this kind of coal before." Fionna stammered.
"I see." Flame Prince popped a small chunk in his mouth and chewed it. His eyes widened and his flames grew, surprising Fionna a bit. "This is awesome!" Flame Prince smiled. Fionna's eyes brightened.
"Really?" Fionna exclaimed. Flame Prince nodded with a mouthful of the rare and delicious coal. "Well I just-" Fionna heard her stomach growl and her blush returned. Flame Prince swallowed and wiped his mouth.
"Are you hungry?" Flame Prince asked with a snicker. Fionna blushed and pouted playfully.
"Maybe." Fionna felt her stomach growl in defiance. "Ok, yes." Fionna groaned. She lifted herself off of the log and let the wind run through her long hair. "I'm going in for some normal food." Fionna said and walked back towards the tree house. Flame Prince, however, stayed put. "Well? Are you coming?" Fionna asked.
"Cake's going to kill me after that…incident. " Flame Prince admitted. Fionna rolled her eyes.
"She won't kill you." Fionna stated. Flame Prince still did not move and he folded his arms. Fionna did the same. "If you don't go in, I'll just stand out here with you and starve." Flame Prince was still unconvinced. "I'll starve to death and Cake will tell your mom about how it was all your fault." Fionna said dramatically. Flame Prince was on his feet in an instant.
"Let's go get some food!" Flame Prince said with a playful salute.
"What time is it?" Fionna waited for a response but all she heard was the wind blowing though her hair. She glanced back at FP who simply shrugged his shoulders. Fionna let out a sigh.
"It's lunch time?"
"I knew that!" FP laughed and sped up his pace to join Fionna.
"He really does like-like Fionna!" Flamba laughed. Flame Queen rolled her eyes.
"Of course he does." Flame Queen said sarcastically.
"Just you's watch, FQ! This 'punishment' of yours is goin' to become a 'gift' for them both!" Flamba said with a wink. Flame Queen glanced up at the empty glass lamp and she let out a worry sigh.
"It's just. He's been gone for so long. It's just not safe, Flamba." The worried mother said regretting her decision to send her son out into the dangerous lands of Aaa. Flame Queen got out of her throne and strolled towards her balcony.
"He'll be fine, FQ. He's got Fionna. Just wait and see." Flamba said and trotted out to the grasslands once again. Flame Queen turned and looked down towards the border of her kingdom at the snowy grounds of the Ice Kingdom, clutching the edge of the balcony worriedly.
"I hope you're right, Flamba."
