"Ahh!"

Snap.

Thump.

Crackle.

"Hissss.."

Zip.

"Marshall!?"

Shuffle.

"Ugh!" Fionna groans, as she finally sits up and whips the sleep from her eyes. Crawling towards the end of her and Cake's tent, she unzips it and looks outside. "What's going on out here?" She said, stepping out of her tent and shielding her eyes from the sun to get a better look at what's making all the noise.

Marshall was hiding out in the leaves of a tree, with Prince Gumball standing below it with an umbrella in his hand. Both boys stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound of Fionna's voice and turned to look at her.

"What happened?" Fionna asked again.

"Well some animal came and ate a big hole in my tent and I got hit by the sun. I flew to the trees for shade but I ended up falling back to the ground. And I think I woke up Gumball here," Marshall said, pointing her head towards Gumball.

Gumball looked from Marshall to Fionna and said, "He did but I was going to wake up soon anyways, and when I saw what was happening I brought him this umbrella." Gumball held up the umbrella to show Fionna.

Marshall groaned and swiped the umbrella from Gumball's hands and held it above his head, then he floated back to the ground. "Talk about rude awakening," Marshall said under his breath.

"More like two rude awakenings," Fionna said. They both look at her a bit confused at first but then noticed that she just rolled out of her tent and her hair was a mess,she too was awoken by Marshall's screams.

"Sorry Fionna," Marshall said, trying to laugh it off.

"No it's fine," Fionna said, waving her hands at them. "At least you didn't burn to a crisp. That's all that matters."

"What about Cake did I wake her too?"

"N'aw. That girl can sleep through anything."

"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry. How about we eat breakfast and hit the road?" Gumballsuggested. Fionna and Marshall happily agreed and Gumball got right to cooking.

After breakfast the four friends pack up their belongings and started towards the mountains, with Fionnaand Cake once again taking the lead, leaving both the guys with nothing to but play follow the leader.

By noon they all reached the mountains. The sun was at its highest point, which meant the hottest time of the day. The mountains did shade them a bit from the sun, but it was still pretty humid.

"Ugh! Fionna is there any more water?" Cake whined, as she crawled out of Fionna's bag to check the canteen.

"No, you drank the rest, remember?"

"But it's soooo hot."

"It's just humid, Cake. It's probably not as bad if you didn't hide out in my bag."

Cake groaned and grew back to her normal size and started walking along side Fionna again. She stretched her arms out and snatched the map from Fionna's hand to get a look at it.

"Hey!"

"Isn't there supposed to be a late nearby or at least coming up soon?"

"I don't know but I hope there is. I could go for a swim."

"Same here," Gumball said from behind them. He whipped some sweat from his forehead and looked at Marshall. "I don't see how you can stand the heat in that sweater you're wearing."

Marshall smirked and looked at all three of his traveling partners. "Unlike you three living, breathing, flesh folk. I'm a vampire and vampires are not easily as effected by the elements as you guys are."

"Well maybe you can fly a head of us and see if you can spot a lake for us, flesh folk, because we ARE easily affected," Gumball snapped. The heat was making everyone in an unhappy mood, including the usually nice, Gumball. "It's too hot for us to walk fast and you can fly, so.."

"I don't see why I have to look," Marshall glared at Gumball but Fionna cut in.

"Please Marshall, please find us a lake." Fionna asked, her eyes all big and sparkling, pleading Marshall to help them.

Marshall sighed but flew up high enough in the air to see farther in the distance. He looked around a bit before floating back down to the ground. "The lake is just past those rocks."

"WATER!" Cake yelled. She stretched her legs, grabbed Fionna and Gumball, and ran to the lake. Once there she put everyone down, shrunk her legs, and immediately started drinking some of the water.

Gumball ran to Cake's side and started grabbing palms full of water in his hands and splashing his face with it. After a few splashing he looked up at Fionna. "Are you coming Fio-"Gumball's words were cut short when he spotting Fionna throwing her traveling back off to her side and removing some of her clothes. "Fionna?"

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going in." Fionna removed more clothes until she was wearing nothing but her bra and underwear. Tossing her clothes to the side, Fionna took a few steps back before running and jumping in.

As she splashing into the cool lake, some water droplets made their way over to Cake and Gumball, getting them wet too.

Cake hissed and jumped back. "FIONNA!"

Gumball didn't move, but stayed where he was. He watched as Fionna floated on her back in the water. Cake tried to yell at her, but Fionna didn't listen and Gumball couldn't look away.

Gumball didn't hear Marshall come up to him so when Marshall spoke, he jumped. "What are you looking at Bubba?"

"Ah! Oh, um, nothing…." Gumball said, shaking his head and looking away, hiding the blush on his face. Marshall already knew that Gumball was pretty much gawking at Fionna, but he decided to cut Gumball some slack and act like he believed he wasn't doing what he was doing.

Marshall floated towards the water and smiled at a happy Fionna, splashing in the water. Gumball didn't like the way Marshall was looking at Fionna and ran over to his side. "Hey Fionna is there room for two in the water?"

"You bet! Come on in!" Gumball smiled and looked at Marshall. Marshall smiled at candy prince, making him frown and walk away embarrassed.

Gumball placed his travel belongings next to Fionna's and removed his shirt before walking into the water and swimming out towards Fionna.

Cake stopped her yelling about the water since the sun had already dried it on her fur, so she went back to drinking and then relaxed in the grass. Marshall floated up to the sassy cat and with his body and umbrella blocking the cat's sun.

"Hey!"

"What's wrong Cake? You don't want to go swimming too?" Marshall swooped down and grabbed Cake by her ankles and floated above the water.

"MARSHALL! Put me down!"

"What was that? Put you in the water?"

"NO! Marshall, no!" Cake's flailed, trying to get out of Marshall's grip, but he eventually put her back on the grass and started to laugh. "That wasn't funny, Marshall. How would you like it if I took that umbrella of yours?"

Marshall just ignored the cat and continued to laugh. "Calm down, kitty."

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! Ho-"

"Shhhhh….." Marshall shushed, holding a hand up to Cake's mouth.

Cake pushed Marshall's hand away from her face and glared at the vampire. "Don't shush me, Marshall LeeAbadeer."

"Shut up Cake! I hear something."

"What?"

Cake quieted and listened for any noise that Marshall could be hearing. She didn't know what he was listening to but to her it just sounded incoming thunder, which sounded nice since it was really hot, but the ground shouldn't be shaking. Then she saw it and his eyes widen and her tail frizzed out.

A large rock came flying at them. Marshall, thinking quick, grabbed Cake and pushed her out the way just in time and the rock crashed into the very spot on the ground they once stood. Cake freaking out, got to her feet and ran towards the edge of the lake and yelled out one word to Gumball and Fionna.

"GIANT!"
