*Knock* *Knock*

"Hmmm?" The prince looked up from his baking, towards the door. "Come in! I'm making cookies."

The door opened as Peppermint Maid entered the room. She walked up to the Prince, urgency in her voice as she said, "Prince Gumball! Someone was discovered outside the gates to the kingdom!"

Prince Gumball's eyes widened. He placed the fresh pan down and took off the mitts. "Take me to them."

"He's in the emergency room! Follow me." With that, the small candy girl turned to the door and rushed out, followed by a Prince in an apron.

A low groan escaped his lips as he returned to the world of the concious. His head was pounding, his leg burned, and his whole body felt exhausted. Finn cracked his eyes open, to sneak a peak at what had woken him from his sleep.

"He's waking!" He heard a panicked feminine voice say. A deeper voice answered.

"Hmmm, you finally seem to be waking up." The voice was calming. Finn opened my eyes, and found himself face-to-face with a familiar face, sort of. "You OK there, Hyooman?"

Finn pushed himself up and looked around. "Where am I?" He asked, confused. He was lying on a bed in the middle of the room, and there were several vials filled with strange liquids set along the counters by the walls. It reminded him of the infirmary at the candy kingdom. It actually looked exactly like it.

His thoughts were soon confirmed. The pink fellow said, "Don't worry, you're safe. You're in the candy kingdom now." Finn's head started to spin.

"What about the map... and the prophecy. Was it a dream?" He whispered to himself.

Not having heard Finn, Gumball continued "So, what were you doing way out here Hyooman. Don't you live underground?"

Finn shook his head. "Nah, I'm not one of them, I'm a regular old human."

The Prince's face turned a pale pink. "I don't believe this!" He said.

Finn, who was distracted by his thoughts of what was going on, yelped in surprise and protest as Prince Gumball tore off his beloved hat. "Hey!" His golden hair was about a foot long now, and his neck was, obviously, gill-free.

"Oh my Glob, Fionna will need to hear of this immediatly." He started to get up, then turned back to his assistant, Peppermint Maid. "Give this boy the 'Fionna Treatment'. And make sure he doesn't leave."

"Yes, sir." replied the small striped helper. Prince Gumball swiftly exited the room, leaving a confused Finn behind.

Finn turned to the maid. "Hey, what's this 'Fionna Treatment'?" She didn't answer at first, just mixed various bottles lying around with an air of purpose.

Finally, as she walked to the bed he was lying on, she said, "It's for the local heroine after a tough battle. She can be on her feet in about an hour even if she was on the verge of death. We made it special for her, it only works on humans." At that, Finn's eyes widened in realization.

Before Finn could do or say anything about his revelation, she jammed a needle straight into his leg, pushing the contents in. Pain a thousand times worse than he had previously known screamed through his mind for a second, then was replaced by a numbness that Finn welcomed. He felt his eyes droop, and knew fighting it would be useless. The sweet darkness of sleep soon enveloped him.

The rain battered the windows, and the wind violently shook the treehouse. Cake sat staring, licking her paws absently. "Come on, Girl, you're almost there!" she cheered.

The girl beside her leaned in closer, pressing the buttons on the controller in her hands faster and faster.

*Knock* *Knock*

The loud noise startled the young gamer, and she dropped the controller. A boom came from the system's (aka BMO's) speakers, followed by a "Game Over!"

"Argh!" Fionna's head shot to the door, and she had murder in her eyes. "What the Glob!" She stormed over to the door, ready to punch whoever was there.

Swinging the door open, she opened her mouth to yell at the reason of her defeat, but was pushed past.

"I've big news." Prince Gumball rushed in, and started pacing. He looked at Fionna, who was on the floor from being run over. "Good you're already sitting down."

She looked at him, debating between yelling and asking him what's going on. In the end, her curiosity won out. "What's got you so wound up?"

Gumball stopped pacing. "You ready?" He asked. She nodded. He breathed deeply, then said in a slow and deliberate statement, "There is a human at the Candy Castle."

There was a silence for a few seconds, followed by Fionna getting up and asking, "Is he trying to eat your people again?"

"Not hyOOman, human." He pointed to her neck. "No fins!"

The silence following that statement lasted longer. Then Fionna's eyes widened as she comprehended that what she believed to be impossible was now true.

"I'm not alone." She whispered.

A/N: I LOVE PRINCE GUMBALL'S VOICE! I knew I recognized it when I first heard it. I don't usually consider myself a big fan of any media, except these three guys: Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Jackman, and Neil Patrick Harris.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm running low on time to write lately. I have four D&D meetings a week, school, job, and a family friend visited for the weekend. So I'm a little overbooked lately and I wanted to get this out today.

Also, I hate saying this everytime, but I feel I went OoC with this. And I hate when I do that. If you could tell me if you thought so, and if you do think so, some ways I could make them sound more like themselves would be amazing help. (Anyone who I find helpful will be getting a special mention in the next chapter.)

As always, Review!
