Fionna's P.O.V.

I look at my school's clothes and sigh deeply. With all the rush because of the ball, I didn't notice how much rumpled they were.

Well, it can't be helped, so I only shrug and try to concentrate on the huge joy I'm feeling now. We, the Ooo band, will play on the school's Valentine's Day ball! It's a great, great honor and, I must confess, it makes me nervous. A lot. Cake says to me all the time that I'm a great singer (and the boys, Marshall and Gumball agree), but she's not being fair. I'm not - I assure you - a goddess. Our band's great name is Marshall, with all his charm and sex appeal.

Now I can feel my cheeks burning, but that doesn't stop my mind to going any further. I know the boys since three years ago and even in that time they were like that: cat and mouse. I don't understand what's going on (or was) to make Gumball and Marshall so… aware of each other. Perhaps it's anger? No, maybe not… A little riot?

Gumball is a young boy with middle height, auburn hair, freckles (they're totally cute!), blue eyes. He is the smartest boy in our class, far away from the others who are willing to try beating him. He is, also, the bravest one. It's not easy liking to cook and wishing to be a chef like him, as much as wanting to be a dancer or a hairstylist: the prejudice are always there, which is such a shame. Beyond all that, Gumball is one of the kindest boys I've ever have the pleasure of meeting (I must include Marshall as well) and he has a best friend: Mono, Cake's boyfriend.

(Just between you and me, I don't know how they managed to be such good friends, because Mono almost doesn't say word when he's around people. Well… Who am I to judge that, right? If they can understand each other, their relationship is their own problem.)

I must confess I had a great crush on Gumball back then.

Marshall is a tall and stylish boy, with one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard before, black hair that covers his ears and hazel eyes, so beautiful and light like the ones of a cat. He has a strong personality: as much as he is charming, Marshall is a bad guy, always messing up.. But don't be mistaken: despite being all that, he never bullied anyone - not even Gumball and, believe me, they must have a lot of motives to hate each other. Marshall also dated that hateful and posh girl - Ashley Steele - but nowadays they seem to be only "good friends."

I must confess that Marshall also made my heart beat faster in the past.

Speaking of them, they're just approaching me and the notice board. I show them the warmest smile I'm capable of - I'm so happy! - and give the most awesome news: we did it!

Cake, Mono and Flame appear just after some minutes. I give them the big news as well and soon they're congratulating us. When Flame comes near me, I feel my heart skipping a beat. I had my crush on him too, okay? It's just natural…

When I think about Gumball, I feel like I'm something similar to a sister to him than a potential girlfriend. He cares the most about his studies, I'm sure he don't even think about those things.

Considering Marshall, we're always flirting with each other, but it seems more likely a joke. With all those chicks Marshall could pick, how would he notice and look only at me?

But Flame... I feel like he also likes me, but his personality is so unstable and dark, I fear what an involvement between us could ever turn into. His cool and stylish blond hair, his piercings, his gothic style… Everything makes me aware of him, but in a good way.

As you can see, I like them all and can't decide about who I should choose! Good work, Fionna!

The hug Flame is giving me is too intimate, it makes my heart race and my mind focus on our surroundings. I look at Marshall and he's looking at us with a strange expression: could it be fear? Revenge? … Jealousy?

I decide to see what's Gumball's reaction. He has a plan and controlled face, mas his fists are clenching, I can see. That's so unlike him!...

I shake my head slightly and decide to leave all that aside. I don't have time for this now, the band comes first!

We talk a bit more and schedule a rehearsal for tomorrow. I won't be even capable of sleeping today! I'm so excited!

I just can't wait!
