Fionna and Cake sat in silence, waiting for the right conditions for their plan. Every once and a while Cake's ears would prick up, signifying that she heard something, but soon would call a false alarm and the girls would relax once more. "This is taking forever!" Fionna said, frustrated at how long it was taking. Cake's ears pricked up once more, exciting Fionna before Cake waved of as a false alarm. Fionna groaned.

Cake spoke up about a flaw in their plan, "what about Marshall? We came here for him, so are we just going to leave him or what?" Fionna sighed before replying, "He might not want to come with us. I'm pretty sure he hates me now. But even if he did want to come with us, we won't be able to break his chains and also we can't wake him up can we?" Marshall stirred briefly, making Fionna jump. She exhaled a sigh of relief, realizing Marshall wasn't dead yet. "Go check on him please! He hasn't been awake at all and we need to give him this rose." Cake stood up and started walking to Marshall, but was restricted by the chain attached to the wall. She turned around and sat next to Fionna again. "Well I can't wake him up if I can't reach him. Fionna called to him, "Marshall! Come on please wake up! We have a rose for you!" Marshall didn't move, and Fionna huffed loudly in frustration. "Oh stop being so moody…" Marshall said weakly before turning his head and giving the sisters a small smile. "Now about that rose…" Fionna wanted to jump up and hug Marshall right then and there, but then grew angry, "How long have you been awake?!" She demanded. Marshall Lee chuckled before replying, "Vampires don't sleep! I thought I told you that. It just takes… energy to move and talk." He groaned in response to the exertion and let his head fall forward again. Fionna went silent, and Cake grabbed the bright red rose, and tossed it at Marshall's head. With lighting quick reflexes, he caught it in his mouth, and drank the color until the rose turned into a grayish white. He then let the rose fall to the ground, and grinned widely. "Well Bubba isn't good on quantity but great on quality!" Fionna replied, "He just gave us crappy onion soup!" Marshall laughed before answering, "Sounds like a personal problem!" Fionna, again, huffed and turned away from the joking vampire. Cake grew serious and told Marshall what was going to happen briefly.

A large clang was heard at the doorway and heavy footsteps started finding their way to the last cell. Marshall hung his head low, and Fionna lay on her side, with Cake curled up next to her. A banana guard walked in and set down another tray of potato and onion soup, and this time a small red strawberry. He turned to leave, when Cake moaned pitifully. The banana guard stopped, and turned to face Cake, who looked like she was nursing a wound on her arm. The guard took a step forward to Cake, and bent down to examine the wound. Cake waited until he was engrossed in her false wound before she unsheathed her claws, and started viciously batting at him. The guard was knocked back and blinded momentarily. He panicked and threw his pike blindly, which managed to find its way to Fionna's arm, who had jumped out of her ropes, due to Cake chewing through some ropes earlier. Fionna cried out in pain as the tip of the pike connected to her bone. But still ran forward, and knocked out the large guard. Clutching her arm as blood seeped out of the wound and stained her shirt, Fionna picked up the guard's key ring at his waist, and turned to unlock Cake's collar. Cake stretched her arms and then grew large, enjoying her old powers once more. Fionna walked to Marshall and unlocked his many bindings. He stood up slowly, massaging his arms and legs. "Geez I felt like I've been in there for eternity. Let's split before they catch us." Fionna stopped and ripped of a part of her skirt to wrap it around her injured arm. "Okay. Let's go. Come on Cake!" Cake hurriedly ran to Fionna's side and asked, "So what's the best way out of this place? " Marshall answered sarcastically, "Sorry to break it to you, but we'll just have to go out the front." Fionna rolled her eyes at Marshall before running up the stairs and out into the castle hallways. The group started tiptoeing through the bright pink halls, avoiding any guards or candy people. They successfully made it to the front gate, and opened it. Marshall whispered, "I don't like this. It's way too easy. Almost like he expected us to escape…" The trio made their way into the candy city.

The streets were empty, and not a single sound was heard. The windows were shut, and the stores were all closed. The moon was climbing higher in the sky, and little stars dotted the sky. They all turned a corner to find themselves at the entrance to the candy kingdom… Only to be blocked by Gumball and an arsenal of Banana Guards, candy people, and guns of all sorts. "I thought guns were banned" whispered Cake, her voice trembling with fear. Fionna patted her back softly before calling to Gumball, "What do you want? Just let us go!" Gumball grinned, but briefly before replying, "The three of you are outlaws! You have stolen from me! And turned evil against this world, you are no longer heroes! And a threat to our society! Your sentence is death!" Fionna growled at him, and drew picked up an abandoned pike on the ground, "I hope you know of your prince's trickery citizens of the candy kingdom! Who would you listen to? Your king? Or the girl who has saved you, taken care of you, gone on quests for you, and protected you in your time of need for so long?" The citizens of the candy kingdom, and even the guards started mumbling amongst themselves, and some lowered their weapons. The prince just laughed darkly, before shouting not only to the trio, but to his people as well, "Bring the injured and show the world what this evil girl has done! She will bring this upon all of you! Fionna is simply stalling for her and her pals, yet their deaths will be inevitable." A part was made in the crowd as the guards Fionna and Cake had beaten up limped to the front, they were in horrible condition, but still alive. The crowd gasped, and many people hoisted up their weapons once more. Marshall whispered to Fio, "It's no use, he still has power over them, and we have to get around them somehow." Cake tugged on Fionna's sleeve, "I love you Fionna. You're my sis. Don't ever forget that. Now go with Marshall, you guys have to escape." Cake hugged her briefly before running out towards the waiting army. "CAKE NO!" Fionna started running towards Cake, but was forced to step back, because the candy people had started firing. A bullet found its way into Fionna's leg, and she collapsed reaching for Cake. "NO CAKE COME BACK PLEASE!" Marshall picked Fionna up from the ground and took off, flying above the offenders. She saw Cake collapse halfway to the people, and guards surrounding her. "NO! MARSHALL TAKE ME BACK! CAKE! MARHSALL DAMMIT PUT ME DOWN WE HAVE TO GO GET HER!" Fionna started screaming hysterically in Marshall Lee's ear, but to no avail, he landed in a forest not far from the kingdom. Fionna was sobbing, with tears flowing down her face. As soon as they landed, she starting pushing away from him, and hitting his chest repeatedly, "WHY DIDN'T YOU GO BACK? WHY COULDN'T YOU PICK HER UP TO?" Marshall spoke calmly but urgently, "I couldn't because I don't have enough energy! I can't even fly anymore! If we go back there we're both boned!" As soon as he spoke, flashlights appeared behind him, and rapid footsteps started crunching their way through the forest. Marshall kept a firm grip on Fionna and started dashing forward through the dense undergrowth. Fionna resorted to crying into Marshall's shirt, as he ran forward. The voices and lights faded behind them, and the moon took its highest peak of the night. Marshall slowed to a fast walk, and then a slow walk. Fionna had stopped sobbing by now, and looked up at Marshall. Come to think of it, he was really handsome. The moon reflected off his pale skin and black hair, and his golden eyes glowed in the darkness. Fionna blushed, and looked back down hurriedly. Marshall spoke after about five minutes, "I have a shelter here somewhere, and we'll have to stay for the night." The two stayed silent for the rest of the walk. They came upon a large tree, with An M carved into the front of it. A small tree house was built between the trunks of two large oaks. Marshall put Fionna on his back as he climbed up the small rope ladder and opened the trap door. The inside of the house was a one room place with a bed, a couch, and a small icebox and cabinet. Marshall set Fionna down on the plump bed before going and getting a first aid kit from the cabinet. He then came back and pulled out a bundle of bandages. He pulled Fionna's shirt down at the shoulder to expose the cut on her arm, which caused her to pull away and glare at Marshall, "You already got us into this shit because of stuff like that." Marshall pulled her shoulder back into place, "Your hurt, geez I'm not raping you chill out" Fionna still glared at him as he cleaned and dressed the wound. He then moved lower to where the bullet had grazed her thigh and as he lifted her skirt to get a better look, Fionna sat up and crossed her arms, "Nope I can live with this wound or deal with it myself but you're not doing that." Marshall handed her the kit, "Well then here you fix yourself up! I'm trying to help for globs sake. I'm going to get you some new clothes. Be back in an hour or so." He then proceeded to go out the trapdoor before Fionna could call him back. She sat back and started cleaning her wound. This one was worse than it looked, and she found herself wincing every time she grazed against the exposed muscle. After a painstaking amount of time, she finally managed to bandage herself up, and fall onto her back. The bed was so warm. And Marshall had lit a small candle. The flame danced softly, and the breeze was gently swaying the leaves outside. Fionna found herself drifting off slowly.
