A/N: I do not own Adventure Time. Well it's elimination day, so enjoy...
Chapter 5: Elimination Day
The flamboyant host walks out to the stage waving to his adoring fans. He did not fail to impress with his lilac suit, black dress shirt with matching black accessory. He finally walked over to a lone chair before speaking.
"Good evening. I am LSP and this is the Dating Game. Last week Fionna went on her finally date with Marshall Lee the Vampire King and let's just say it got a little hot and heavy. I can hardly wait and I know you guys can't either so let's welcome Fionna."
Fionna came out waving to the crowd. The crowd went wild hardly able to hold both their anticipation and their total adoration for the young adventurer. She finally made her way over to LSP, giving him a quick peck on the cheek before having a seat in her chair.
"Sooooo, how was last week's date?"
"I had a great time. Marshall is a lot of fun."
"I bet," he sarcastically cleared his throat, "So what happened when you guys kicked out my camera crew?"
Fionna's face turned bright red, "We talked."
"About?"
"Stuff…"
"You're lying," LSP sang.
"Fine we went to Tier 15, is that what you wanted to hear?
"Tier 15, didn't you laugh at him last week about saying that?"
"Well after I thought about it, I felt that it was cute, in a devilish sort of way."
"Hmmm…. Cute. Well you know what today is, elimination day. You have three wonderful men but you can only keep two for now. I am going to be honest with you I do not know who you will pick. You seem to have made a pretty good connection with all of them."
"Yeah I know this will be a hard choice."
"Well Fionna you have the floor. Let me call out the bachelors and you will be left to your work. Gentlemen come on out."
Flame Prince, Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee all come out waving to the crowd before sitting in their designated seats. Both FP and PG fidgeted around nervously. They knew that it was down to the wire and one of the three would be going home. Marshall on the other hand was as cool as a cucumber; he leaned back in his chair with his arm playfully thrown across the back. Fionna finally walked over to the bachelors and gave a bitter sweet smile.
"Hey guys? How are you?"
"Feeling good" Flame Prince said.
"I am well, thank you for asking," said Prince Gumball
"I am awesome babe, but you know that already." Marshall Lee said with a smirk.
Fionna walked over to her Flame Prince and grabbed his hands." FP I had such a fun time with you. I never in a hundred years would have thought that I would like going to a destruction derby. I felt a surge of adrenaline that I have never felt before. Thank you." She gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
Walking over to Prince Gumball, she grabbed his hands, "Gumball, I will admit I hated the opera."
The audience laughed.
"However seeing you fight was almost mesmerizing. Your moves were so fluent, so precise. Then the meal you made me was amazing. You opened your home and your heart to me and let me in. I have a new respect for you. Thank you for being there when I was vulnerable. That meant a lot to me." She hugged him close and gave him a sweet peck on the lips.
She finally walked up to Marshall and grabbed his hands, "Marshall we had a ball. I never thought I could have so much fun all in one night. Your singing is electrifying; you have the power to sway my emotions in ways I never thought possible. It was also nice seeing your different shades of red."
Marshall smirked taking in all the compliments.
"Lastly, thank you for that beautiful Katana, I will always cherish it" Marshall closed his eyes and poked out his lips awaiting his kiss only to feel Fionna release his hands and walk back to LSP.
"Oh Shit," Marshall thought nervously.
"I must have been too forward. She may not pick me. I can't deal with that, after last week I cannot see myself without her." He nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well Fionna, those were very sweet sentiments, so who's getting the boot?" he said while kicking his foot in the air.
Laughter rolled around the studio audience but then died down to a quiet hush as everyone anxiously waited for her to deliver her verdict.
"Gumball."
A collective gasp rolled around the room. Fionna walked over to Gumball and gave him a hug. "Gumball I see you more like an older brother. Can we still be friends? I would be grateful to learn more from you."
"I would be honored my dear Fionna." He stood up, kissed her hand and walked off stage waving to the audience.
"Well there you have it, we have Flame Prince and Marshall Lee left. Next week all three of them will go on a date prepared by Fionna. We will send a limo to your house Fionna at 6pm sharp. Be ready."
Fionna walked over to the now relieved Marshall Lee and moved her lip to his ear, "Scared you didn't I?" She let out a quiet chuckle and moved back to LSP.
Marshall gave a sly smirk, "Real cute Fionna."
"Next week is going to be so globing awesome. You don't want to miss this one guys. Make sure to tune in next week to see Fionna's double trouble date."
Marshall Lee and Flame Prince both looked at each other with a new sense of determination to win Fionna's heart.
"That's right boys, let the hate fester in you." LSP clung his fingers together and let out a maniacal laugh.
"Shut up LSP," Fionna said snickering.
"Well I am LSP and this is the Dating Show."
A/N: It was hard to choose, but I think that FP and Marshall will be more fun. Unfortunately, my brain is now oozing out of my head so does anyone have any date ideas for the next chapter? If you do drop me a note. I will pick the best one and work it into my story. Thank you guys for all the wonderful comments and for following the story. Please Review...
