The moment we made the deal hell broke loose. I don't mean I attacked Ashley or something that would be a fool's action. Fiona kicked the bars of her cage and rattled it wildly. The only time I'd seen her that angry was when she thought I had sucked all the blood out of Cake.

"Marshal, don't!" she screeched. "I can take care of myself. Go!"

I snapped my head up at her and said coldly," Fiona you are in no position to be arguing now. I suggest you wait quietly until Ashley lets you go." In truth, I was ready to cry myself and I won't because I'm bitter enough. I'm just tired now. Tired of waiting for her to notice me. Tired of Gumball getting in my way. It's worse to stick around for something that's never going to happen, than hell itself.

I closed my eyes against her furious screaming and added in a matter of factly," At least I'm not there to drag you down from Gummy, right?"

The silence that happened afterwards was definitely not what I'd expected. Even Ashley was stunned. I opened my eyes and peered cautiously at Fiona. She was frozen at the edge of her cage, her face curiously blank. A subtle blush spreading around her cheeks confirmed my worst suspicions. I bit my lip and turned away.

I felt Ashley come up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. I stiffened at the touch and resisted the urge to push her away.

"Looks like you haven't lost all that fun yet, Marshy," she giggled softly in my ear.

To Ashley's credit, she didn't say another word to me and went over to Fiona. Reaching in her pocket, she brought out a small-wired key and twisted in a little hole I hadn't previously noticed at the base of her cage. Instantly the wired bars whipped around and retracted into one-inch square. Amazing. After everything, I was still shocked at a little thing that could shrink. I stared back at Fiona and saw she wasn't even trying to struggle. She was still shocked. Shocked at what I said earlier. I bit the insides of my mouth to prevent anything else from popping out.

"Eat this," Ashley snapped harshly. She held a pale little pill and narrowed her eyes as Fiona moved her head slightly.

"Listen girly," she rasped in a dangerously low voice. "I don't have the time and patience for your little protest. So do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

My mind seemed to snap back in place and I turned to glare at her. "What are you doing? This isn't part of the deal."

My words seemed have a slow reaction to Ashley, and it took her a couple seconds to look up. Her eyebrows furrowed and she rubbed the bridge of her nose for a moment.

"Marshy, Marshy, Marshy," she clucked. "How do I know you aren't going to break this deal as soon as I let her go? This is my little back up. If you show even a sign of defying me…well I'll spare you the details. The chemicals from it, will enter her bloodstream and completely shut her down." Her eyes glittered with the anticipation and she sneered triumphantly at me.

In truth I hadn't even thought of the very idea. I just wanted Fiona to get away without another scratch. Why the hell did Ashley have to get this smart? I was always the one ahead of the game. Instead of ripping my hair out in final frustration like what I want do, I nodded indifferently. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched her carefully to make sure she wouldn't do anything else extra.

After a while of head tossing, Ashley loss it. She slammed Fiona against the wall, and jammed the pill in her mouth. A little high-pitched shriek came out her when she swallowed it and I winced slightly. It was better that way. Really.

After a couple of minutes, Ashley smirked and stood up. Brushing her self off slightly, she stood up.

"Let's go Marshy. We have a lot more things we need do."

"Now?"

I cast a desperate glance at Fiona and her I wasn't sure what scared me more. The fact that she wouldn't get up, or the blank look in her eyes.

"Now."

I nodded slowly and clenched my fist. A small choked noise seemed to cling to my throat and I struggled to keep my voice clear now.

"Aw, wittle Marshy is going to cry," she taunted. "Whatever. Get that sniveling face out. Bye, bye Fiona. Him and me are going to wreak a little terror on Aaa. Agacus. Flyacus."

I looked up. I recognized that spell. It was a teleportation charm; she'd used back when she tried erasing the memory of our breakup. So where was she going to take us?

The air around us shifted and the atmosphere instantly changed. A gust of wind seemed to lift me off my feet and we floated up straight through the tree. All of a sudden we were flung forward and the whole scenery changed in an instant. I blinked. We were at the Candy Kingdom not doubt about it. The whole scent of sugar and sweets overwhelmed me slightly, not to mention the ride. I stumbled a few feet and regained my balance again.

I looked up. The moon hadn't moved much since everything. It only seemed as if a couple of hours had passed so far. Huh. I would have thought it would have been daytime by now. Time slows down when your demented ex-girlfriend is threatening to kill you.

"Now the fun begins," Ashley giggled. Walking back and forth for a moment she suddenly brightened up. "I got it. It's pretty easy. In order to prove you are going to listen to me and as your first deed, you will burn down the Candy Kingdom."

I felt a hitch in my breath as if she had punched me and I widened my eyes. "What? What in the world did you want me to do?"

"You idiot." Her face was straight now and straitened up slightly. "Burn down the Candy Kingdom. I can't stand the sight of that place much less go in it. You have the power to control fire, right? Ever since you fooled around in that fire kingdom, you've been able to light things up with a wave. You already hate that Gumbutt anyway, don't you? He is such a priss. Wouldn't killing him make you happy?"

"Are you crazy! No! Do it yourself." It was true. I didn't like Gumball that much. We used to be friends but it all changed when he grew up. He started acting more responsible. Helping out people and doing more work. We weren't exactly close but we weren't enemies so much that I would kill him.

"Are you talking back to me?" Her voice was dangerously low. "Are you forgetting about your little girlfriend?" She held her hand up and uncurled her fingers. A little blue stone, no more the size of a dewdrop sat as fragile as glass. Even if I did have no blood, I felt my whole body grow cold. It must have represented the pill inside Fiona that could kill.

I gritted my teeth and sucked in my breath. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her so much. I rubbed my palms together and my whole body tensed. Just one spark and a whole inferno would start. I closed my eyes tightly. Please live. Please live. Please just let everyone get out safely. I don't give a shit what happens to me. Just turn whatever is going to happen next to nothing.

Before I even knew what happened next, the ground suddenly litted up and spread like a wildfire. It only made it worse from all the vegetation and trees that surrounded the place. The sparks danced around, and just as one reached the wall, it exploded. The whole place lighted up and from everything that happened so far. I knew one thing. I had set the Candy Kingdom on fire and this was only the first thing Ashley wanted me to do. I was probably going to end up destroying the whole world for one girl.
