A/N: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, it helps keep me motivated. So I have decided that all of Fionna's dates will be centered around some of my favorite video games. Welp, enjoy.
Chapter 2: The First Date
The spotlight shines on a lonely white love seat. The light swiftly moves over to stage right following the host as he makes his way out to the stage wearing a classy cream suit with purple pinstripes.
He finally makes his way over to the couch and takes his seat. "Good evening everyone. This is the Dating Game and I am your host, LSP. If you joined us last week you would know that we had the lovely Fionna here with three eligible bachelors. Today will be her first date with Flame Prince. Let's check in on them."
The lights cut on completely, revealing a large monitor directly beside LSP.
"Fionna can you hear me?" As he speaks a picture of Fiona walking towards her front door appears.
"Yeah LSP, I am here. Flame Prince is at the door now. We are getting ready to head out."
"Sounds great and by the way Fi, you are looking smokin' hot. That short black dress suits you well."
"Thank you," she said with a light blush.
She opens the door to reveal Flame Prince with a pair of distressed jeans and an old t-shirt.
"Well it does not look like everyone is dressed for a date," LSP said smugly, looking away from the monitor.
"LSP!"
"Okay, okay. Well, I will let you two get back to your date." The lights went dim in the studio and the bright glow of the monitor flickered on.
"Fiona you look stunning, but you are a little over dressed don't you think?"
"Uh well where are we going?"
"We are going to a destruction derby."
"What?"
"I wanted to show you my extreme side. My buddy Sweet Tooth said that a bunch of cool peeps escaped from the Blackfield Asylum. They are meeting in some secret location to have the derby. When we leave here I need to give the signal so they will reveal the way."
"Girl you better put those pumps away and find yourself a helmet. It seems like this is going to be a CRAZY night," LSP chimed in.
"I thought you were done." Fionna replied angrily.
"Sorry, sorry. Oh, and one more thing. You are on national television and I have over 250 million viewers, your location will not be a secret much longer."
FP grabbed the bridge of his nose and spoke through gritted teeth, "THANK YOU, LSP! If the crazies ask me if I was followed and I will simply give them your address."
"There is no need for that buddy. I have enough irrational fans chasing me as is. Well, uh, I will leave you two alone now, have fun."
Fionan sighed, "Okay let me change my clothes."
She ran into her room and before the camera men had a chance to follow her, she slammed the door behind her. She threw on some sweat pants, a form fitting tee, converses and placed her hair in a ponytail.
She emerged from her room with a look of concern, "Okay I am ready. What's the signal?"
"I am supposed to go up to Mount Sinclair and flash my head lights 4 times and then a light should appear that will shoot through the sky. We will need to follow the light."
"Huh, okay. It's your night; I am just going along for the ride."
"Awesome, I know you will have a great time."
Walking out the door she caught sight of his old El Camino. It had metal grates where windows should have been and was bright orange with red flames painted all around.
The two drove up to Mount Sinclair and preform the signal. Like clockwork a bright white light shot up into the sky and with that the two rode off into the night.
They finally reached a large metal gate and were greeted by Sweet Tooth who was sitting there playfully tossing a grenade in the air. Flame Prince got out of the car and gave a quick hug to the flame headed clown. He had a deranged look and if you were not afraid of clowns you would be after you met him. The two gave a collective nod and they jumped back into their cars passing through the gates.
They rode up to a large dirt field that was surrounded by the decaying carcasses of cars that had previously entered the derby. The other 6 competitors were a crazy, fucking, bunch of psychos. Fionna was scared to look at them directly out of fear of catching their crazy. They yelled, cussed, and roared their engines. The one girl named Bloody Mary, took a long dagger and ran it across her tongue spitting the blood in a bystanders face. They were quite the intimidating group but Flame Prince ate it up. He loved it. The crazier these mother fuckers were the more he was able to show off his skills to Fionna.
"Okay Fi, here are some hand grenades, a Gatling gun and spikes for shredding tires. I will man the car and you work on taking out the competition."
Fionna was not quite sure what she had gotten herself into and simply gave a silent nod.
"Come on girl, you are a weapons expert. Put those skills to good use."
She gave a faint smile and grabbed a grenade, "Let's do this."
A skinny pale girl walked in the middle of the ring of destruction holding a makeshift starter flag. "On your mark, get set… kill." With that she leaped into the air, morphing into a bat and flew out the way before the cars went in charging. Each one of them had a mission that night, to quench their thirst for blood.
The monitor went black and the spotlight shined back onto LSP. "Anyone who is under 17 or has a weak constitution I suggest you cut off your television at this time. What has Flame Prince gotten my poor sweet Fionna into? Well, I guess we will soon find out. Without further ado let's see where this leads."
The spotlight shuts off and the monitor cut back on.
"Oh my fuckin' Glob, he is shooting at us" Fionna yelled as one of drivers in the pickup truck followed close behind with a shotgun hanging out the window firing with deadly accuracy.
"Throw a grenade!" Flame prince yelled, driving to avoid his attack.
Pulling the pin out with her teeth she chucked it back and before she knew it, car parts laid there in a pile of fire and twisted metal.
"Oh my glob, that was awesome, who is next?" Fionna had been bitten by the bug and wanted more carnage.
A satisfied smile crept across Flame Prince's face. "Doesn't it feel good. It looks like my buddy Sweet took out another driver. I say we go after that sadistic chick Bloody Mary. I have been in other less violent competitions with her and she is the worst."
"Let's get that bitch," Fionna said with a dark smile.
"That a girl, get the Gatling gun."
Fionna pulled out the behemoth of a gun and placed it out the window ready to unleash Hell.
As Flame Prince looked over to Fionna, proud of the way she was coming around, a car came slamming right into them, spinning them out and knocking them up against a pile of wreckage. When they finally shook off the shock of the collision they saw Mary come for them charging at top speed.
"Drive, damn it."
Flame Prince slammed on the accelerator, wheels spinning wildly trying to get the momentum to shoot forward. After a brief moment of squealing tires the car took off, just missing her attack. Right after Flame Prince took off, Fionna threw out a hand full of spikes flattening Mary's tires.
"She isn't going anywhere." Fionna said with light chuckle.
FP, finally at a safe distance, quickly performed a 180 turn allowing Fionna full access to Mary's demise. She unloaded round after round into her car, watching her body sway back and forth rhythmically with the bullets. It was quite a sight to see. Fionna's smile grew wider with every bullet she unleashed. Finally with one last shot the car exploded ending the terror which was Bloody Mary.
They looked out into the pure destruction and all that was left was Sweet Tooth, Flame Prince and Fionna. FP and Sweet Tooth got out of their cars and threw their arms in the air in total satisfaction. Fionna stayed in the car moving her fingers slowly across the remaining string of bullets. She had truly found a new love and appreciation for Flame Prince's "extreme" sports.
FP jumped back into the car, "Come on let's stop somewhere and get something to eat."
"Sure."
They drove out of the lot and made their way to downtown AAA, there was a little sandwich shop that stayed open late that Flame Prince often frequented. He drove into the closest parking space, "Whaddaya want?"
"A corned beef sandwich would be great."
"Good choice, they have the best corned beef in all of AAA."
He got out of the car and ordered their food. He walked back, handing the sandwich over to Fionna.
"I gotta say Fi, you really kicked ass out there. I knew you would be good but I never thought you would be that bad ass."
Fionna blushed, "It comes with being the protector of AAA. It is second nature to me now. Your driving skills were awesome as well. The way you hit that turn right before we finished off Mary, it was amazing."
He smiled before taking a bite of his sandwich.
Fionna looked down to her sandwich, unwrapped the plastic and took a bite.
"Oh Glob, this is good."
"I told you. Usually when I am out roaming the streets trying to clear my mind, I wind up here."
"Clear your mind?"
"Well the stuff I am doing is not exactly princely. I know one day I will be King and all this will have to stop but this is my life. I enjoy the freedom of just letting off steam and having fun." He looked down almost sickened by his fate which seemed to him to be a death sentence.
"Just because you become King does not mean you have to give up what you love. If you are a good, just king your subjects will see past your flaws. But I would not suggest killing off a whole mental asylum either." They both laughed
FP finally looked up giving a slight smile, "Thanks Fi, I enjoy talking to you."
"Yeah me too."
"So I hope we can do this again sometime, whether you pick me or not, you seem to be a pretty math young lady."
"That would be great. Maybe next time you can show me some of your less dangerous extreme sports, like base jumping."
The two laughed together before finishing off their meal.
FP looked down at the clock. "Hey it's getting pretty late, let me get you home."
"Yeah."
They stopped in front of Fionna's house. "Thank you Flame Prince for tonight, I had a ball."
"Yeah me too, you are one hell of a girl."
Their eyes met their gaze never faltering. They moved in closer until they were inches away from each other. Fionna moved in delivering a kiss to FP's lips. He grabbed the back of her head bringing her closer afraid to let go, not wanting this moment to end. They both pulled back winded.
Fionna gave a genuine smile, "Good night FP"
"Good night Fi"
With that she got out the car, waved good bye and disappeared behind her front door.
FP just sat there looking at the door trying to etch her image into his mind.
"Wow, what a night." FP said before driving off into the night.
The monitor went black and the lights came back on in the studio. LSP still sat on the couch pressing his hands together in a menacing manner.
"My, my looks like the Prince of Flames has sparked a fire up under our little adventurer. Well folks. Tune in next week to see date number 2. I am LSP, and this is the Dating game. Good night."
