Chapter 2: Hot New Rival

"Come on Sapphire! I want you to meet someone!" Finn yells back at her. They had been walking since dawn and she was starting to feel fatigue. "I'm gonna beat you there!" he taunts at her.

"Just a second!" she yells back. "Are you sure you'll be ok?" she asked Luna. Luna had been very slow compared to usual. And she is very tired.

"Yeah, I'm sure!" Luna gets back up and starts walking again and quickly finds her way back to Finn. Sapphire then runs up to Finn and notices the heat to rise. Where is he taking me? The center of the planet? She thinks to herself. No wonder Luna isn't feeling good. Finally she catches up to Finn.

"Hey! Where is Luna I thought she'd be with you?"

"She ran up past me..I thought she stopped but maybe she made it there before both of us. Come on! She couldn't have gotten too far ahead!" He grabs Sapphire's hand and begins to walk faster. She could feel the heat and red crawl across her face from the touch of his hand. Old feelings die hard I guess. Sapphire chuckles at herself and walks with Finn.

After going over a hill, they arrive at the FireKingdom.

"Finn….why are we here?" Sapphire asks, with a worried tone. "Luna and other rabbits cannot sustain this level of heat…I hope she is okay."

"Well Miss Nosy-Posey, I wanted you to meet my girlfriend FP! And Luna will be ok I promise, otherwise I will give you my hat for a week. I royal promise it."

"Well…Ok! I'm glad you found a new girl!" she says punching him in the arm. "She's a lucky girl." Oops…! Once again, she opened her mouth and Sapphire's face went dark red. Finn couldn't see cause of the red tone already on her face and just laughed it off and moved towards a cave.

I bet he thinks I am a huge dork now…She thinks to herself. You are just his guy-friend, never his GIRL-friend..

As they walk through the entrance of the cave, Sapphire notices a fire girl and was about to say hello until she saw Luna on the ground next to the girl. The sight was too painful for Sapphire. Luna had passed out and had burns that covered her body and her fur was singed off.

"OH MY GLOB LUNA!" Sapphire screams and runs to her sister and holds the fragile body close to her. "Where is the nearest Paramedics?!" she yelled at the girl who Finn was next to now, holding her hand.

The girl just stared at her….with a dumbfounded look on her face. Then, she starts laughing. And laughing. AND LAUGHING. All Sapphire can do is cry and hold her dying sister in her arms.

"What's the matter? Sad a little wabbit got hurt?" the girl taunts. She stays calm for enough time to put her sister into a small healing chamber that will keep her stable until she returns to their Kingdom. After putting her sister into a safer area, Sapphire coolly pulls out her sword, and lunges towards the girl and knocked her off her feet and pinned her to the ground. Then Sapphire becomes outraged.

"I do not CARE if you are my best bud's girlfriend Flame Princess. I will NOT hold back!" Her sword was held right by her neck, pressing against the firry skin and left. She held on to Luna for dear life and ran as fast as she could to her Kingdom. Tears fall down her face as she realized she probably lost her closest friend and the fact she was heart broken about the fact that he had to pick her. Out of all the people of Ooo it had to be Flame Princess. Well, no matter, she had more important things to worry about.

Thirty minutes later she enters the castle's hospital ward. She tends to Luna's scars and burns, until she was finally stable enough that all she needed was some rest. So did Sapphire. She requested some tea to be sent to her room and she was off. She took a quick shower before getting into bed and began sipping tea and reflecting on the crazy day. She began to softly cry at the thought of not being able to see her best friend. She soon fell asleep until she hears her amulet go off. It was Jake..

Duhnuhnuhhhhh! What is wrong? Note: Luna had made SP's sapphire amulet into a video communicator and Finn and Jake can contact her through BMO. And I actually like Flame Princess, but for now, it will seem like I don't c: also, the next chapter will be much longer :) Have to go to my mom's for a few days though so it won't be up till later :( and school is kicking my butt...
