A/N: Amian Forever, I'm dedicating this chapter to you. Maybe now you'll stop bugging me (JK)! Okay, now on to more serious matters, all you Black Butler fans, I need your help. That Butler, Time Traveller written by Robin Pendragon is amazing beyond words. We need to bury it in positive reviews in hopes that she will add another chapter. So check out that story and put in good reviews! This chapter is all about Flame Prince and his search for a date. This is how I depict him, so no meanies, or I'll bring you down with just six words! Heh heh. :P
Chapter 16- Flame Prince's Point of View
Mother had offered her help, after calling Fiona a bitch and many other horrible, possibly true names. I declined her offer, and set out on my own to find a date to my Birthday Ball, which was tomorrow.
I made a mental list of all the girls that were available: Peppermint Maid, Ice Queen-
Suddenly I ran into someone, completely blind by my own thoughts. We both fell on our backs, and the other being groaned. Quickly, I stood up and reached out my hand, and when I saw her face in the moonlight I froze. She looked at my hand, then at me, then stood by herself and started floating.
"What? You look like you've just seen a ghost," she said, then bit her tongue at the sight of me. I was wearing a deep red cloak over my normal robes.
"Are you okay?" I asked, not sure what else to say. Her black hair flowed like a dark river down to her knees, her beautiful ruby eyes glinting. They rolled at my question.
"Do I look okay? I just flew over an ocean, and I am so hungry it's not funny. So, if you would be kind enough to loan me your cloak..."
"What?" Suddenly she dived towards me, grabbing my cloak and knocking me to the ground. Then, she sunk her teeth into my cloak and made a sucking noise. I watched, dumbfounded, as the color flowed into her fangs, turning the cloak gray in less than a minute. She removed her fangs and licked her lips, smiling at me.
"Thanks, Flame Prince. I owe you one," she said resting against a tree. I scooted closer to her.
"How do you know my name? And what did you do to my jacket? Who are you?" I asked, looking into her eyes as if the answer was there, buried in the red.
"Well, my name is Marcie. Marceline Abadeer, if you want the full version. I come from the land of Ooo, which is really similar to this place, except the genders are flip-flopped. I heard the rumors, so I had to investigate. I guess I was right."
Okay, this is weird, I thought to myself. But she is kind of cute. I opened my mouth to speak, but more words poured from hers.
"So, a little red birdie told me you were having a Birthday Ball tomorrow and you still don't have a date. I'm a single girl wanting some fun, so what the hey? Unless you like guys, which is totally okay, but you might still be single by the Ball..." I put my finger to her lips, silencing her. She glared at me then blushed.
"Marceline, just shut up. Please," I said, and she nodded, making me smile. I scooted even closer to her, and so did she. I took a deep breath, and took her hands in mine. She smiled, flashing her fangs.
"Marceline the Vampire Queen, will you give me the honor of escorting you to my Birthday Ball?" I asked.
"I thought you'd never ask."
A/N: Oh my glob, right? Okay, so I included my theory into this fanfic. I think the lands of Ooo and Aaa are continents, separated only by oceans. I pulled in Marceline to finally settle my dilemma of who Flame Prince would be dating! Like it? Well, answer in the reviews, if you want. Or PM me, I don't particularly care. :)
