AN: Go Marshall! I never knew you were such an awesome friend :)


'Prince Gumball?' Peppermint Butler called from inside the room. I opened my eyes and was met with Gumball's pink chest. I pulled away and sat up to rub my eyes. I looked around the room and saw Marshall leaning tiredly in the corner. 'PG, wake up.' I poked him on the cheek and he groaned. 'Wake up,' I said and poked him again. He yelled something and fell out of bed in a tangle of sheets. I burst out laughing before his head popped up from behind the bed, his hand rubbing his head lazily. 'What was that PG?' I giggled as I recovered from my laughter. 'I have no idea,' He said sleepily and stood up. 'Prince Gumball?' He looked at the doorway. 'What is it Peppermint?' he yawned. 'Breakfast King is in the sitting room awaiting your arrival.' I saw Gumball's eyes widen. 'Glob I'm not ready yet,' He said and began pacing like mad. 'I still have to assess the agreement, then pull reserve troops out and—' I stood up and grabbed his shoulders. 'Gumball.' I shook him gently and his eyes snapped to me. 'It's gonna be okay. I know you can do it,' He nodded and looked at Peppermint. 'Tell him I'll be down in five minutes to discuss the matter with him.' Peppermint bowed and left the room to carry out his orders. Meanwhile Gumball disappeared into his closet and emerged a minute later in his normal prince clothes. 'How do I look?' He said. 'You look fine PG, like usual,' I said and he looked at me strangely. 'Fi can you come with me?' He said. 'But I have nothing to wear,' I said. 'Worry not.'

He disappeared into his closet and came back out with a light blue ball gown. 'W-when did you get this?' I said s as I fingered the luxurious fabric. 'I got it from Cake a while back. She left it here once and told me to keep it just in case.' I nodded and took it into the bathroom but I couldn't do the zipper up myself. I pushed the door open hesitantly and peered out. 'Can you help me with the zipper?' I said and stepped out. 'Sure Fi.' I turned my back to face him and waited as he zipped it up slowly. I noticed Marshall was gone. 'There,' He said and patted my shoulder. 'How do I look?' I said and spun. 'Like a princess.' I felt my cheeks warm as he looped his arm through mine before leading me towards the door. I ran quickly back and got the blue purse Cake had given me. 'You still wanna do this?' He said softly. 'Of course.' I smiled at him and he looked relieved. He led me into the sitting room where a large waffle man with a crown stood which I assumed was the Breakfast King. 'Good morning to you, Breakfast King. Please, sit.' Gumball gestured to the seat at the small table. Breakfast King sat carefully and waited as Gumball held the other chair out for me and stood behind me, his hand on my shoulder.

'What is it you are here for Breakfast King?' Gumball said. 'I am here in regards to the matter of you marrying my daughter. She is most pleased with your agreement.' He said and leant back in his chair. 'I'm sorry Breakfast King but I am unable to marry your daughter.' Gumball said. 'Why ever not? You signed the paper.' 'Because…' I could sense Gumball had no plan and I frantically came up with an idea. 'Because we're already married, aren't we darling?' I looked up at him lovingly. 'That's right. Me and my dear Fionna here are already committed to each other,' He said. 'How did I not hear of this?' Breakfast King demanded. 'It was a private wedding. Fionna wanted only her closest family and friends to be there.' He smiled down at me and I smiled back. 'Then where are the rings? Surely if you are married you would wear them proudly.' I dug into my purse and pulled out a small diamond encrusted ring and put it quickly on my finger unnoticed. 'Why it's here,' I said and held out my hand. 'Hmm. But where is yours, Prince?' He said. 'It's getting resized. He accidentally dropped it in a beaker of shrinking agent.' I said. Breakfast King looked at us suspiciously. 'Breakfast King, may I ask why you want me to marry your daughter? There are many other fine princes around you could choose from,' Gumball said. 'It is because she wants a candy royal to marry.' 'Why don't I make her one then?' Gumball said. 'Excuse me?' 'I am quite the scientist. I can engineer her her own candy royal, crown and all.' Breakfast King looked at Gumball thoughtfully. 'In light of your new marriage I will propose this replacement to her. She may not accept it at first but I know she will soon agree. Thank you, Prince Gumball, Princess Fionna.' He stood and Peppermint Butler entered the room. 'I shall show you outside sir.' He said and Breakfast King followed him out. Gumball walked over to close the door and leant heavily against it.

'Hey that was a great plan Fi but… How are we gonna play this off? If she finds out we're not really married she could come back,' Gumball said worriedly. 'Well we'll just pretend until she's happily married to the prince you are going to create for her.' 'Okay well you're gonna have to stay here for a while then. And we're gonna have to get me a ring,' He said. 'Where'd you get yours by the way?' 'Oh I found it in my purse. Pretty lucky huh?' I said. 'Yeah. You wanna come help me work on this candy guy?' 'Heck yes!' I walked towards the door. 'But can I change out of this first? And call Cake? She's probably worried sick by now.' 'Yeah sure just go in my room and change into whatever you like. There's a phone in the lab when you're done.' He opened the door and we went out. 'I'll see you in a few.' I went into his room and into his closet and found a full set of my normal clothes. I wondered why he didn't give me these last night. I also found my hat in the purse Cake had given me. I changed quickly and made my way to the lab where he was already mixing some chemicals. 'I'm just gonna call Cake,' I said and picked up the phone. 'Yeah that's cool,' He said and dropped one chemical into another causing a puff of blue smoke. 'Be careful,' I said before dialling the phone. It picked up within two rings.

'Fionna is that you?' Cake said frantically. 'Yeah Cake.' 'Oh thank goodness I was so worried. Where are you?' 'I'm at the castle. Me and Gumball got into some trouble but we fixed it.' 'What kind of trouble?' 'Pancaria controlled Peppermint's body and made him sign a marriage thing but we got it under control. I just have to stay at the castle for a while.' 'What, why?' She demanded. 'Because me and PG are pretending to be married. You have to pretend we are too okay?' 'MARRIED?' I pulled the phone away from my ear as she yelled. 'Yeah it's the only thing I could think of on the fly.' 'You couldn't have done any worse, could you?' 'She could've said she was pregnant,' Marshall said suddenly from behind me. 'What was that?' Cake said. 'Nothing it was just Marshall being Marshall.' I shoved him away with my hip. 'I gotta go Cake, I have to help PG make a candy guy for Pancaria okay? Come over later if you want and can you bring some more of my clothes?' 'Well okay but I want full deets when I get there,' She said. 'Sure thing Cake, bye.' I hung the phone on the hook. 'Ugh she is such a drama sometimes,' I sighed. 'She is just doing her best to take care of you,' Gumball said before screaming as one of his beakers exploded. 'Careful Gumball,' I said and grabbed a broom. 'I'm trying. Making someone is risky business Fi,' He said.

'So married huh? Who came up with that bright idea?' Marshall said. 'Like you said, it could've been worse,' I said and swept up the shards of broken glass. 'Not by much.' 'Marshall, what are you doing here?' I said, my hands on my hips. 'I'm just here to look after the happy couple.' 'No really.' 'Fine,' He sighed. 'I'm just bored without a Fionna to adventure with. It's kinda lonely strangling pixies by yourself.' He looked at me hopefully. 'Marsh I gotta stay here. Why don't you take Cake with you?' 'Cake?' He scrunched his nose. 'She hates me though.' 'No she doesn't Marsh. She's probably up for any kind of adventure at the moment so why don't you go ask?' 'Fear of rejection,' Gumball said. 'Says you.' 'I was waiting for the right moment.' 'No I think you were afraid.' I watched as Gumball unknowingly dripped some chemicals together. 'PG watch out!' I yelled and he looked down at his hands. 'Oh glob.' I watched as the flask exploded in a puff of green, leaving the room was shrouded in mist. I coughed and waved my hand and froze as the fog dissipated around Gumball to reveal he had shrunk to about the size of my hand. 'Oh great, now what am I gonna do?' His voice was a slightly higher pitch than normal. Marshall and I both burst out laughing. 'Hey it's not funny guys,' He said crankily. 'Aw but you're so adorable,' Marshall teased and picked him up by his shirt. Gumball struggled and threw his fists around. 'Let me go!' He yelled. I pulled Gumball away from Marshall and set him on the table.

'Now how are we gonna fix this?' I said. 'Well I'll need to make an unshrinking agent first and— Aw come on!' He said as he turned to look at the beakers. 'I won't even be able to reach,' He whined. Marshall laughed and slapped his forehead. 'Oh glob this is funny,' He said. 'Hilarious,' Gumball huffed. 'Marshall go see Cake or something,' I said. 'But Fi—' 'Go.' I pointed at the door and he floated out. 'I'm only going cause I want to.' 'Yeah sure Marsh,' I sighed and looked at Gumball as I heard the door close. 'I can make the unshrinking whatever but I'll need help,' I said. 'Okay well go over to the cupboard and grab what I tell you.' I walked over and realised he was too quiet to here. I walked back over and he looked at me confused. 'What is it?' 'I can't hear you from all the way over there,' I sighed. He looked at me thoughtfully then I saw him look at my head. 'Put me on your head,' He said. 'What?' 'Put me on your head. I'll be able to direct you properly from there.' 'Okay…' I lifted him carefully and sat him on my head. He gripped onto one of my bunny ears for dear life. 'I dunno maybe this wasn't such a good idea,' He said quickly. 'You can do it PG. We won't be able to un-shrink you if we don't.' 'Y-yes, you're right. Now go back over to the cupboard…'
