Fionna didn't went to school for many days. The school called and she got kicked out of school for many absences. Cake heard the news and was shocked. She tried to go to Fionna's house but nobody answered the door. She wanted to search for Marshall but the seniors had already graduated and she lost contact with Marceline after she transferred school.

Every day, Cake went to Fionna's house and waited for Fionna to open the door. Yet every day, she failed at meeting Fionna. One day as she was going to knock the door, the door open on its own. 'It wasn't lock?' She went in and was welcomed with a very awful smell. She almost gagged just by smelling the awful stench.

Cake inspected the apartment and saw expired pizza lying around. Flies were buzzing around the garbage can and she could see some cockroaches running around. The apartment was so dark and the only light there is was from the television. "Fionna?" Cake called Fionna's name but there was no answer. Suddenly, she saw the door to Fionna's room was opened.

She opened the door and was shocked to see Fionna. Fionna's hair had grown too long and had reached her legs. Her nails were long and some of them had broken and has some dirt in it. Her clothes had fungus growing on them and flies were buzzing around her. Cake tried to call Fionna's name. "F-Fionna?".

Fionna turned around. Cake screamed when she saw her face. Her eyes were bloodshot red, her teeth were yellow and she had scratch cuts all around her cheeks. "Oh my gosh Fionna! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Cake shouted. Fionna covered her ears. "No more shouting. No more shouting." Fionna rocked herself back and forth while repeating the same words all over again. Cake covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh Fionna!"

Cake went and hugged Fionna. She didn't care the condition Fionna was in. All she knows that she had to save her friend. She looked at Fionna, one more time. "Fionna baby, what happened to you?" whispered Cake. Cake looked around the apartment. "Where's Marshall?" she asked. Fionna's face lit up. "Marshall? Marshall's here?" she asked with happy eyes. Cake was sad. She was sad to see her friend like this. "No sweetcakes. He's not here." Fionna's face went back to sad. "Me miss Marshall. Marshall is mad. Marshall shouts" said Fionna with a sad tone.

Cake wanted to cry. "Oh Fionna baby. I know I shouldn't trust that guy. If I knew he was going to be like this, I won't support your relationship with him." Fionna shakes her head. "No. Marshall not wrong. Me is wrong. Me make Marshall mad." Cake was confused. "I'll listen to you later but for now, let's clean you up shall we?" said Cake. Fionna didn't want to at first but after a while, she agreed to.

After many hours of hard labor returning Fionna to the way she used to be, Fionna finally returned back to normal except for one thing. Fionna couldn't speak normal English. Cake brought her to a doctor. The doctor examined Fionna and shook his head. "I'm sorry miss. It looks like your friend can't speak very long sentences." Cake was shocked. "What do you mean?" asked Cake. The doctor showed Cake an x-ray of Fionna's throat. There was a small tear in the picture. "Do you see this tear here?" asked the doctor. Cake nodded her head. "Each time your friend tries to speak long sentences, this tear will hurt her." Cake held Fionna's hand. "So you mean she can't speak anymore?" The doctor shook his head. "She can but short sentences only". Cake started to sob. "Fionna, just what happened to you until your throat has a tear?" Then Cake looked at the doctor. "Can't she have a surgery?" she asked. The doctor sighed. "I'm sorry but she can't. The throat is too complicated to do surgery. One wrong move and the person can't speak forever. It's a big and very dangerous risk" he said. 'I can't lose hope now' thought Cake. "Will it be heal?" she asked again. "It can but it will take years to heal" he replied. "How many years?" The doctor inspected the tear again and said "About 3 to 5 years" Cake stood up and shook the doctor's hand. "Thank you" said Cake and left.

That night, Cake sat Fionna down at the table and asked her. "Fionna, can I ask you what happened between you and Marshall?" Fionna looked down. She gripped her clothes, feeling the pain of the memory that hurt her again. Cake held Fionna's hands. "Please Fionna. If I don't know what happened, I can't help you" She gave Fionna a very determined look. Fionna stood up and went into her room. When she returned, she gave Cake the pictures that ruined her relationship between Marshall.

Cake gasped. She threw the pictures away from her. "Fionna! Did you do that to Marshall?" Cake asked. Fionna quickly shook her head. "Me don't know" said Fionna with a sad tone. "Me got home very late. Marshall shouted. Marshall threw pictures. Me can't speak. Throat hurts. Head hurts." Then Fionna took one of the pictures and pointed at the muscular guy in the picture. "Me don't know. Big man. Me no clothes" Cake examined the picture and realized where it was taken.

"This was PG's office." She said in a low voice.

5 YEARS LATER

"Cake! I'm home!" said Fionna with a smile. She took off her shoes and put them at the shoe rack. Cake looked at Fionna with a smile. "Welcome home sweetcakes!" greeted Cake. She was preparing dinner as a celebration for Fionna's promotion. "I'm gonna take a shower! Just speak up if you need anything" said Fionna. Cake smiled and went back to cooking dinner. 5 years had gone by and Fionna's throat had healed. Cake won the trial against PG for poisoning and attempt of rape against a minor. PG lose and was locked in jail for the rest of his life. After that, Cake had banned two words from Fionna's life. Shouting and Marshall. Fionna's psychological doctor said "Banned anything that will remind Fionna of her trauma. If she were to remember anything from her trauma, she'll be taken away from reality." Cake was nervous at that time. She asked the doctor, "What if she does remember?" The doctor shook her head and said "She'll be in a semi-coma state. It means that either she wakes up to reality or she'll stay in her fantasy world".

Cake shook the memory out of her head when suddenly the doorbell rang. Fionna said "I'll get it!" and opened the door. All was silent for a while. Cake was curious to see who it was and went to the front door. "Who is it?" Cake looked at the person and dropped the ladle she was holding.

"Marceline."

Wee awkward reunion and yes guys. Fionna turned into a ghost and couldn't speak normal English for five years. Pfft, don't judge me. I told you guys I'll be using the dramatic and long way. Well, what happens next? See you guys in the next chapter! /looks at clock.
