Cake—Fionna's best friend/adoptive sister and Mo-Chro's girlfriend. She doesn't look much like Jake aside from their body proportions. She has white eyes in which the black pupils become circular if surprised, excited, shocked, or scared. She has a cat muzzle and a small nose (compared to Jake's), cat ears, white fur with many coffee colored spots, and a large bushy tail. Cake may know Morse code in order to speak to Lord Monochromicorn, similar to how Jake knows Korean in order to speak to Lady Rainicorn. Cake plays a hammered dulcimer, as opposed to a viola. Her tail "frizzes out" if it is agitated or worried. As a Lumpy Space 'cat', she is a light color of maroon with large spots of fuchsia to match her coffee-colored spots. Her tail is now lumpy and more beaver-tail-like.
Fionna—is a 13-year-old adventurer and Cake's adoptive sister. While usually appearing as black dots, her eyes are seen as blue when enlarged. She wears a rabbit-themed hat (similar to Finn's bear-themed hat) with exposed locks of blonde hair. Unlike Finn, her neck is shown. Her outfit includes a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and knee-high socks with two thin horizontal stripes at the top. Fionna is heavier set than. She has a green backpack (similar to Finn's) and Mary Jane shoes. Her name was officially changed from "Fiona" to "Fionna," presumably to make it more similar to Finn's name. The pronunciation, however, has remained unchanged. Like Finn and his crush on Princess Bubblegum, it is revealed in many portraits posted that Fionna has a crush on Prince Gumball. Fionna has buck teeth like a rabbit. Fionna, like Finn, is Cake's adoptive sister. It is shown that as a Lumpy Space girl, she is about 3 feet tall. The top of her has two long white lumps like her hat. The bottom of her is the same as her skirt. She has a small mass of yellow for her small piece of hair.
Duchess of Nuts-is the ruler of the Nut Kingdom. She is a female almond. She has a almond-textured head and short, curly brown hair. She wears a long, V-cut dark blue dress with red sleeves with yellow diamonds. She also wears red flats.
Duke of Nuts-is the ruler of the Nut Kingdom, alongside the Duchess. He is a male pecan. He has a pecan-shaped head under a cashew crown. He wears a red tailcoat, blue trousers, and black shoes.
Marquise of Nuts-the daughter of the Duke and Duchess. She is a female Macadamia nut. She has brown eyes, and white skin. She wears a red dress and brown shoes and wears her shell as a mask (or armor.)
Chipmunk-is a animal who personally hates Cake because she ignores her questions for her newspaper article. She has chocolate fur and two black stripes going down her back along with a single white stripe. She has green eyes and dimples.
THE DUCHESS
Title Card
The Duchess of Nuts spins around, her face coated in chocolate, to the opening door in shock.
A cloud of fireworks erupted from the Candy Castle's moat. Fionna and Cake cheered. Earlier, whilst they were digging around in the forest, they found a wagon filled with spheres and decided to break them to see the various results.
"Firework Fun was awesome." Cake chuckled, digging into the wagon and pulling out a kelly green sphere with gold flecks. She read the small engraving on it. "But Troll Toggle has to be better. Why don't you give it a go?"
"Alright." Fionna took the sphere and held it above her head. "Here goes."
She smashed it against the moat's wall. It smashed into pieces. A puff of gray smoked appeared, forming into a female troll, growling before disappearing.
"Here's Triple Dog Dare." Cake said, taking out a chocolate brown sphere with lighter brown stripes.
"Throw it!" Fionna cheered.
Cake threw it against the wall. A puff of brown smoke appeared. Soon, transparent dogs were jumping about, barking madly before disappearing.
There was a distant thumping noises. They both looked up to see someone running across the bridge of the moat. Fionna thought she looked familiar, then recognized her as the Duchess of Nuts from the party she and Marshall Lee had gone to.
"YEAH, GO ON, GET OUTTA HERE!"
They turned to the gates of the castle. Prince Gumball stood there, looking very angry. He was shaking a fist after the Duchess.
"UNLESS YOU WANT A FIST BISCUIT, YOU BETTER KEEP RUNNING!"
The Duchess ran off into the distance.
"DUCHESS OF NUTS, I SEE YOU BEHIND THAT TREE! YOU BETTER KEEP RUNNING IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YA! Oh whatever. I've got things to do."
"What the lumps is going on?" Fionna asked Cake, confused. "PG's looking pretty riled up."
"I hate no idea, but it's probably best to stay out of it."
Fionna dug around in the wagon and pulled out a cal poly green sphere with gray and black spots. "This one looks super funny. Let's see what it does."
She threw it at the wall...
...only for it to spin around like a boomerang.
"Man, I threw it too hard." Fionna grumbled, dashing over to catch it.
It flew over her head...and right through one of the castle windows.
Fionna and Cake: (0_0)
"DUCHESS OF NUUUUUUUTS!"
Prince Gumball came to the door. His skin was gray, his quiffed hair gone, now leaving him bald. He looked like an ogre.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE?"
The Duchess gasped and ran off like a bullet.
"She thinks that Nut gal did it!" Fionna gasped. "We gotta go clear up what happened!"
"Don't worry, son." Dr. Icepop said, patting the black flax suit Prince Gumball was wearing comfortingly. "It's not that bad. I'll have you fixed up in no time."
"Prince!" Fionna ran into the room. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah, if gray and bald is okay." Prince Gumball grumbled.
Fionna gasped.
Cake suddenly went into hysterical laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I-I'm sorry. I-I c-can't stop now. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Prince Gumball face-palmed. "It really IS as bad as I thought."
"Not to worry." Dr. Icepop assured him. "The medicine yogurt in this suit will get you healed lickey-split. In just five days, you'll be back to your great, gumbally self."
"FIVE DAYS?" Prince Gumball yelped. "The Great Meeting of Aaa Royalty is TONIGHT! I LOOK LIKE A FOOL!"
A hole popped on his suit, squirting out the yogurt. Cake flinched.
"Don't get too riled up, you'll burst the suit." Dr. Icepop told him.
"Actually, there's something I need to tell you, PG," Fionna said. "About that sphere that flew in there..."
"It's OK, Fionna, I know. I always know." Prince Gumball said as Dr. Icepop put a band-aid over the hole in the suit.
"Really? That's weird, cause it really just happened..."
"The Duchess of Nuts has always been a bad woman. But now that she's done THIS? I'll NEVER forgive her."
"Oh, man, that gal must be awful." Fionna said. "But in this particular case-"
"And it's not just because I hate the Duchess." Prince Gumball snarled. "I'd never forgive ANYBODY who did THIS to me. I'd HATE them."
"Yeah, but-"
"FOREVER!"
"Forever?"
"Yes!" Prince Gumball said as Fionna and Cake exchanged panicked glances. "Finally, I have a WITNESS to his misdeeds!" He pointed his index finger at Fionna.
"Two witnesses!" Cake beamed.
"TWO WITNESSES!" Prince Gumball corrected.
Fionna turned to the cat. "CUPCAKE!"
"Fionna."
Prince Gumball took Fionna's head and forced her to look at him. "Fionna, my flawless champion. Bring the Duchess of Nuts to justice. The justice...OF A COLD DUNGEON! HAHHAHAHAHAHA!" He burst into hysterical laughter, letting Fionna dash away.
Fionna laughed nervously. She pulled Cake over. "What do I do? If I tell him I did it, he'll hate me forever!"
"Don't worry, that won't happen. We're gonna catch that gal!"
"But WE'RE the ones who threw the sphere!"
"Girl. We're GOOD girls. The Duchess of Nuts is BAD girls."
"Why does that matter?"
"Think about it. If Prince Gumball hates him so much, then she MUST have done rotten junk." Cake began to pace around, like she was lecturing her. "Horrible junk. And she never got punished...for like...Hmmm..."
The Duchess of Nuts cackled as she rode on her peanut dragon. It screeched as she pointed her cashew spear ahead. It shot flames at the Candy Kingdom. Causing it to go into flames.
OR
The Duchess of Nuts ran out of the bank, her bags filled with stolen money. She shot down anyone who got in her way with lasers.
OR
"Pe'CANT' you fly?" The Duchess of Nuts screamed, pushing Cake off of the cliff.
OR
"CHESNUT your day, Cake?" The Duchess of Nuts cackled, smashing her fist through the tree, causing it to crush Cake as she drank her hot chocolate.
OR
Cake walked along the bridge. Suddenly, the Duchess of Nuts popped out of nowhere and pushed her off. "You've been a SALTED nut!"
"You're CRACKED, Duchess!" Cake snarled, grabbing onto one of the wooden boards of the bridge helplessly. "I hope someday, some GIRL is heroic enough to frame you!" She fell limp. "And I'm dead."
Fionna: O_o
"And..." Cake crawled on Fionna's head. "I heard she even turned the prince grey and bald."
"THE DUCHESS MUST BE CAUGHT!" Fionna screamed, pushing Cake off. "Just this once, we'll be vigilantes!"
"Nah, we're more like cops. Crooked cops." Cake pretended to shoot a gun.
"Prince," Fionna said, "I won't rest until the villainous Duchess is captured!"
"THANK YEW, FIONNA." Prince Gumball snarled.
"Whoa. Okay. Then, hopefully, you've taken care of all...this." She gestured to her whole face.
Fionna loaded up her 'gun' before running out the window.
"Where do we begin our search..." Fionna said, playing with the straps of her backpack.
"Well...How about there?"
Fionna looked ahead and saw the Nut Castle, just as she remembered it.
"The Castle of Nuts."
They ran to the castle and kicked open the hazelnut doors.
"DUCHESS OF NUTS!"
"HOWAREYOU!"
Someone was sitting in front of the Brazil nut fireplace. The chairs turned around, revealing a body, but there was no face on its head.
Fionna winced. "By order of Prince...Um...Prince..."
Suddenly, the head turned around, revealing the Duke of Nuts.
Fionna and Cake gasped.
"Hello, Fionna. You're here to arrest the Duchess?" The Duke said eerily.
"How did you-?"
"The nuts told me. For I am the Duke...Of nuts..."
"I am the husband of the Duchess." The Duke said. "I know of her crime against the Prince. A crime that YOU PERSONALLY witnessed. And why would YOU lie?"
Fionna fidgeted. "Yeah, why?"
"Oh, but she was once such a wonderful woman. She donated blood for charity."
The Duchess of Nuts beamed as the doctor came with the needle for the blood donation.
"And then she would buy it back."
The Duchess handed the doctor a few dollar bills and took the jar of blood from her.
"She even taught unprivileged nuts how to dance."
"Step, step, rock step." The Duchess said to the almonds.
One fell over.
"Gracious me!" She ran over and set it back up.
"But somehow, she's gone rancid. And ours is a lawful kingdom. If my wife has committed this atrocity." The Duke reached for a bowl of nuts. "The nuts tell me he must be executed. Would you like to hear...WHAT MY NUTS HAVE TO SAY?"
Fionna jumped. "That...uh...won't be necessary."
Cake froze, her hand inches away from a bowl of nuts. "I...probably should have asked if these were his children or something..."
Fionna pulled her away from the bowl.
"IF YOU BRING HER BODY, WE CAN MAKE PEANUT BRITTLE FROM HER BONES!"
Fionna slammed the door, draining out the Duke's voice. "I don't get it, Cupcake. How can the Duchess be evil if she does all that nice stuff?"
"You BELIEVE that? He is psycho nuts. You want to frame her, instead?"
"My conscience hurts."
"Listen, girl. We can go back and face the music. Who cares if Prince Gumball hates you forever? Tons of people hate me."
The Chipmunk turned on her holographic newspaper.
"Why, Cake?"
She looked at Cake's newspaper article, Pleads the Inquest.
"Why won't you print my letters? I...I..." She slashed her arm through the newspaper. "I HATE YOU!"
"I don't think I can handle that!" Fionna whimpered.
There was a snap of a twig. They turned to the gates and saw someone running away.
"It's the Duchess of Nuts!" Fionna gasped.
They ran after her. She ran into the forest, and they followed.
"Duchess!" Fionna called, pushing past a hazel tree.
"Come on, Fionna. I'll plane the gun on her." Cake said.
"Oh, no! Cupcake's gone wrong, too!" Fionna said to herself. "Very wrong. Just might have to frame her next."
She slapped herself.
They continued to charge after the Duchess of Nuts. Eventually, they came to a split in the path of the woods.
"I'll break right." Fionna told Cake. "You break left."
The Duchess turned right, and just as she jumped, Fionna grabbed her by the waist.
Cake fell after them. "Iwentrightoo!"
The Duchess struggled under Fionna on the grass and dirt. Fionna cocked an eyebrow. The Duchess looked a LOT different than she remembered.
"Stand DOWN, Duchess of Nuts!" Fionna snarled.
"No one will harm the Duchess!"
Suddenly, the 'Duchess's' shell fell off, revealing a nine-year-old nut-girl. "I shall kill whoever seeks to arrest her!"
"You are waaaaaaaaay smaller than I thought you were." Fionna said confusedly.
"Fifi," Cake sighed, "That's totally not her."
"I dunno...maybe it was just that her other outfit was...poufier...and made her look...bigger or something."
"I WILL KILL YOU IN THE NAME OF THE DUCHESS OF NUTS!"
"This has gone far enough! Put her down, please!" a voice suddenly cried.
The 'Duchess' squirmed. "NO!"
"It's okay, daughter." The REAL Duchess of Nuts suddenly stepped out from the trees. "It's me they want."
The Marquise of Nuts broke away from Fionna and ran into her mother's arms. "No! Go back into the forest!" She turned back to Fionna and Cake, who were gaping. "No! I won't let you take her away!"
The Duchess made her daughter look at her. "Daughter, please. Go back home. Protect your father, and your sister, and the other nuts."
"But you were FRAMED! You didn't do ANYTHING! I CAN'T let them take you away!" She bawled on her mother's dress.
"Who's the toughest little nut?" The Duchess smiled at her. "You are!"
The Marquise cried louder.
The Duchess looked at Fionna and Cake and mouthed, 'One second.'
Fionna gestured between her and Cake and pointed away to a clearing.
The Duchess gave her a thumbs-up.
"I dunno, Cupcake!" Fionna groaned, sitting on an oak log. "That gal seems super nice. But PG declared her a super villain! Why would he hate her if she was such a nice guy?"
"I dunno." Cake shrugged her furry shoulders. "Just because she's a good mom doesn't necessarily mean she's a good gal. Probably a villain underneath."
"Yeah, I guess. But that doesn't look villainous."
Cake turned around. The Duchess and her daughter were helping a mother bird feed her chicks.
"I could probably think of a way for that to be villainous. Maybe."
"Maybe we should just confess. But then..." She buried her face in her hands. "PG will hate us FOREVER!"
"Hey, Fifi." Cake put a comforting arm around her. "Being hated isn't THAT bad."
An envelope flew to her paw.
"Come on." The Chipmunk murmured. "Pick it up! Read it!"
Fionna and Cake left the log. Cake stepped on the envelope.
"You son of a bloop-bleep."
"Sorry to make you wait." The Duchess apologized as she approached Fionna and Cake. "I just had to make sure my daughter was OK, and send her home sick, and then these baby birds needed to be fed." She brought out two braided crowns made of baby's breath. "I also made you these crowns of gratitude for waiting." She sighed. "I need to sit down."
Fionna and Cake led her over to go sit down on the log. "Is the forest spinning for you guys, too?" The Duchess turned to Fionna. "I know this is an odd question, but you wouldn't happen to have any fudge on you, would you?"
"Actually, I think I hate some in my pack." Fionna dug around in her backpack. She brought out a small plastic wrap containing a large square of double-chocolate mint fudge and handed it to the Duchess.
"Oh. thank you." The Duchess took it gingerly.
Fionna dug around in her backpack again. "I think I have a napkin here, too." She turned back around and frowned.
The Duchess had fudge all over her face.
"I guess you don't need it."
"What happened to the plastic?" Cake asked.
The Duchess dug around in her mouth and put the soggy plastic wrap in her paw.
"I'm so embarrassed." The Duchess buried her head in her knees. "Now you know my shame. I can't stop eating fudge!"
"So that's why Prince Gumball hates you?"
"Yes, but he doesn't know I have a rare condition. A fudge deficiency. I don't tell people because I don't want them to feel bad for me. I don't need anyone's pity! I always end up eating all of the royal fudge supply whenever I go to the palace. I know that's wrong, but I never turned the Prince gray and bald! I would never do such a thing!"
"It's all my fault." Fionna sat beside her. "You're such a nice gal. I'm the one that threw that sphere. It flew into the castle by accident. I was gonna tell him, but then he started talking all crazy and I got scared!"
"Hey, it's okay." The Duchess smiled at her. "I totally understand. It was a misunderstanding."
"Now you're making me feel worse for being so nice about it."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I should just confess to the crime."
"Wait! I have an idea that will save everyone's reputation!"
Prince Gumball's animal-cracker-horse driven, Peppermint-Maid leaded, melted sugar carriage rode down the trail under the starry sky. He sat in the back, the carriage-pool filled with the medicine yogurt as he was purple swimming trunks and had his arm resting on the side.
Out of nowhere, Fionna jumped in front of the carriage. "Halt!"
"Fionna!" Prince Gumball beamed. "Have you killed the Duchess yet?"
"Y'mean 'capture' her?"
"Yeah, I suppose." Prince Gumball waved a hand as if to say 'whatever.'
"Not yet." Fionna wiggled her fingers. "But you are in grave danger, Prince."
Prince Gumball scoffed.
"There's an assassin! In these very woods! Dead-set on stopping you from reaching the Great Meeting. In fact, what's that rustling in the bush?"
"Rustle. Rustle. Rustle."
The Assassin/Cake jumped out of the bush, a red mask around her eyes. "I'm an ambush!" She jumped in front of the carriage. "Halt!"
Fionna gasped falsely. "What's going on?"
The Assassin/Cake frowned. "Oh. Did I come out too early?"
"Shutup! Shutup!" Fionna cleared her throat. "I mean, what are you here to do, stranger?"
"I'm an assassin! I am here for the Prince!"
Prince Gumball was frowning. "Girls-"
"Stand back!" Fionna told him. "I will stop her!" She lunged for the Assassin/Cake.
Cake molded her hand into a dagger and pounced for her.
Prince Gumball blew a piece of remaining piece of hair out of his eyes.
"You will not harm the Prince!" Fionna said.
"I will kill you!" The Assassin/Cake yelled. "And raise your children as my own!"
The Assassin/Cake and Fionna attempted to 'kick' each other, but flew by one another.
"Slo-mo fight!" Fionna called.
"Slow-punch!" The Assassin/Cake said, trying to slowly punch her, but ended up punching her at full-speed, sending Fionna crashing into the trees.
Fionna groaned. "Remember, it's just acting, Cupcake!"
"Sorry, Fifi." The Assassin/Cake whispered quickly and ran for the carriage.
She kicked Peppermint Maid away and landed on the sides of the pool. "Now to kill you up!"
She stopped and looked over Prince Gumball. "But wait. Surely, this can't be the handsome Prince Gumball."
Prince Gumball frowned.
"Where is his flush skin?" The Assassin/Cake pulled on his cheek, causing him to scowl.
"The quiffed, gooey hair?" The Assassin/Cake rubbed his head.
Prince Gumball punched her in the stomach, sending her flying away.
"Clearly, the Prince travels elsewhere." The Assassin/Cake stood up from the ground. "Later, Gumball!"
She ran back to the bush and hopped inside.
"Go out there, girl!"
"I don't think I can do this!"
Cake pushed the Duchess out of the bush. "Go! Go! Go!"
The Duchess approached the carriage. "And that is how I," She bowed, "The Duchess of Nuts, by disfiguring you beyond all recognition saved your life."
Cake ran from the bush, cheering. "Yeah! Alright!"
"Yeah!" Fionna cheered and ran over.
The Duchess and Cake high-fived.
Prince Gumball glared. "What was the point of this little act again?"
Fionna looked up. "!"
"Cake!" Prince Gumball demanded. "Why are you dressed like that?"
Cake gasped. "How did he know?"
"And why isn't the Duchess clapped in irons?"
"He's right." The Duchess sighed. "Innocent or not, I should accept what's coming to me."
"SLAP THE CUFFS ON HER, PEPPERMINT MAID!"
The Duchess held out her wrists as Peppermint Maid took out some large gold cuffs.
"I can't let this happen!" Fionna exclaimed.
"Nut'ns going my way today..." The Duchess said sadly.
Peppermint Maid attempted to cuff her. But she was too short, and had to jump.
Again.
And again.
"NOOOO!" Fionna ran between them. "The Duchess didn't throw the sphere! She's just covering-"
Cake popped up in front of her. "Yes, covering for the real girl who threw the bottle." She pointed at the Prince. "YOU! YOU THREW THAT SPHERE!"
Everyone: ):-o?
"Prince," Fionna sighed. "I have something stupid to confess. I'm the one who threw the sphere. I messed you up. I was gonna let the Duchess take the blame. But I knew if I told you, you'd hate me forever! And I can't have that! But I can't see the Duchess of Nuts punished in my place. Even if I can't be around you anymore. I'm sorry."
At first, the Prince looked at her with the most furious face ever.
Then he sort of winced. "Well...I could never stay mad at you forever. And you seem genuinely contrite."
"I have no idea what that means, but thank you!"
"But that doesn't douse my hatred for the Duchess!" The Prince pointed at the Duchess.
"Yeah, what's up with all that hate?" Fionna asked. "The Duchess is a cool gal."
"NEVER." The Prince growled. "That girl always empties out my Fudge Chamber!"
"Aw, shell. Then she has a confession, too." Fionna walked over to the Duchess. "She can't control herself around fudge! She goes co-co-nuts for it! Because she has a fudge deficiency!"
"It's true, your highness." The Duchess sighed. "I'm so sorry."
"Oh my!" Prince Gumball gasped. "You poor woman! Of course you're forgiven!"
He whispered to Fionna, "Yeah, I don't believe a word from her."
"I'm real sorry about this fiasco, Prince." Fionna sighed sheepishly. I wish there were some way to make it up to you."
Prince Gumball smiled and stroked his chin. "Maybe there is, Fionna. Maybe there-hey!"
He looked up at Fionna and Cake, who were walking away.
"What?" Fionna asked. "You said maybe."
LE GRAND MEETING
"Call to order of the Grand Meeting of Aaa Royalty." The Royal Bird announced, looking at her papers. I will now call on the delegate from the Candy Kingdom. Prince Gumballs?"
Fionna stood next to Cake, the both of them wearing Prince-Gumball-like wigs. "It would be presumptuous, indeed, to present myself against the distinguished Prince to whom you have listened..."
Cake sighed as she went on and turned to mask-wearing king next to her. "Wanna drink?"
Suddenly, the mask fell away, revealing...
THE MARQUISE OF NUTS!
Fionna and Cake gasped. "The Marquise of Nuts!"
"Yes!" The Marquise stood. "But I didn't come alone!"
Suddenly, the Royal Bird exploded, revealing the Chipmunk. "Remember me, Cake?"
"Uhm...no."
And what happened next does not need to be written.
TRIVIA
The title card depicts the Duchess eating the Royal Fudge Supply.
Marshall Lee appears at the meeting, because he is the Vampire King.
