Chapter 4:

Marshal's POV:

I was fighting with Flame Prince. Just as I was going to punch the lights out of him for hurting Fi, she jumped between us. I stopped myself just in time, thankfully so did matchstick and we immediately stopped fighting. She smiled at the fact, but i could tell the heat was too much for her. She soon fainted and I quickly caught her in my arms. I pick her up and carried her bridal style away from the fiery prince. I could tell he was jealous, but i didn't care. My only concern at the moment was getting her to safety...

"Fionna!" Gummy cried as he saw her in my arms, unconscious.

"What happened?" he asked concerned.

"I'll explain later, right now we need to get her some medical help." I replied.

"Agreed, the nearest hospital is at the Candy Kingdom. We should get her there as soon as possible." Pinky answered.

"I'm the fastest. I'll fly her there. You follow as best as you can Gummy! " and with that i started floating up, not waiting even for a reply.

I flew as fast as i could without dropping her and in no time at all we were at the Candy Kingdom Hospital. As i went through the doors there were a few candy people sitting on some chairs, being treated for minor injuries. When they saw me, they all cowered in fear. I smirked and quickly went up to a doctor. As soon as he saw Fionna he rushed out of the room gesturing for me to follow. He led me to a room and told me to put her down. I gently placed her on the bed and took a seat next to her.

"Is she going to be alright doc?" I asked the doctor as he began examining Fionna.

"She probably fainted from lack of oxygen and she has some serious burns. But other than that, i believe she will be fine. Good thing you brought her here immediately, before she got any worse. She just needs some rest and treatment for her burns. She's pretty strong for a human." He explained and walked out the room.

"Yeah...she sure is..." i said to myself. Just then Cake ran in with Gumball. They probably ran all the way here. Too bad they can't float... i chuckled.

"Oh my sweet baby!" Cake said running straight for Fionna.

"Is she alright?" Gumball asked in concern. "Dr. Ice Cream told us she was in here."

"Yeah, she's fine. Just needs some rest. Remember this is Fionna we're talking about..."

"Yes it is Fionna we're talking about and if i know Fionna, as soon as she wakes up she'll want to go adventuring. Someone needs to keep an eye on her.

"I'll stay with her." I offered, but Cake jumped in.

"Oh no! I'm not leaving my baby with a vampire all night! I'm staying too!" Cake said and took a sit in a chair on the opposite side of the bed.

"Fine... If it'll make ya feel better kitty-cat" i said with smirk. She just growled at the nickname and i chuckled.

"Alright then. I'll come here first thing tomorrow! Good night!" Gumball said and left the room.

"Good night Gummy!" i yelled back and sat in the other chair opposite Cake.

Soon enough Cake was asleep in her chair. I got up and closed the blinds, just so i don't get burnt first thing in the morning. I sat back in the chair and stared at Fi. She's so peaceful when she's asleep...The doctor took off her bunny hat so he could examine her better. Her beautiful hair was spread across the bed. I stared at her for a while before deciding I should get some sleep.

"Good night my little bunny!" i whispered and kissed her forehead. I leaned back in my chair and fell asleep.

Fionna's POV:

I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. I couldn't see anything at first. When my vision came back and i slowly got up in a sitting position. My burns hurt, but not much. I looked around the room and i realised i was in the Candy Kingdom hospital. Next to me, on my right was Cake and on my left was Marshal. As soon as Cake realised i was awake she immediately hugged me with her stretchy arms. Just then Gumball came in the room.

"Oh Fionna! You're awake! How are you feeling?" he asked walking towards me.

"I'm fine PG. A little sore, but I'm fine. Really!" i said trying to be convincing.

"Well...if you say so Fionna." He said. "Tell you what. I'll go find Dr. Ice Cream and see when you can leave." He said walking towards the door.

"Alright, thanks Gumball!" i said as he left the room.

"Hey, Fionna I'm gonna go look for an umbrella and get something to eat, you want anything?" Marshal asked.

"Don't worry Marshal I'll go get Fionna something to eat, you just go find your umbrella." Cake replied.

"Still don't trust me kitty? I'm hurt." Marshal said in a fake, sad tone.

"You practically CATNAPPED me!" Cake said angrily.

"Cake!" I yelled trying to break the argument.

"Oh! Sorry babycakes!" Cake said in her sweet voice. "I'll go get you some food. You just sit in your bed and I'll be right back. Don't move! Come on Marshal..." she continued dragging Marsh with her, causing me to giggle.

5 minutes later...

Author's POV:

Fionna was patiently sitting on her bed as instructed. She was becoming a bit bored, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Fionna yelled.

The last person she would expect to see today came shyly trough the door.

"Hello Fionna!" he said shyly.

"Flame prince?" Fionna said shocked.

"Yeah...How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Better...it's just a few burns. I've had worse." She answered.

"Really? ...Oh...um... I just came to say that I'm really sorry. I lost my temper. I didn't mean to hurt anyone..." Flame Prince apologised.

"It's ok Flame Prince. I know you didn't mean it."

"I still hurt you though Fionna...Can I make it up to you?"

"It's fine Flame Prince. You don't have to-" she argued, but he cut her off, before she could finish.

"I don't have to Fionna...but i want to."

"Well...i don't know..." she began.

"Please?" he said with a look that she couldn't refuse.

"Well...alright, fine." She replied.

"Thank you Fionna!" he said with smile "I'll see you soon!" he continued and turned to leave.

He was a few steps from the door when, Marshal Lee and Cake returned.

"Hey Fi! Hope we didn't keep you waiting, we-" just then Marshal realised who was in the room with his beloved bunny.

"You! What are you doing here?"Marshal yelled angrily. "Came to hurt her again? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!" Marshal continued, advancing towards the fiery prince.

"Marshal no! He just came to apologize!" Fionna yelled from her bed.

"Don't defend him Fionna! He hurt you! I won't let that happen again!" the vampire said.

"Calm down there boys!" Cake said in an attempt to stop the fight. "We're still in a hospital!"

"The cat is right. We cannot just start a fight in a hospital, especially when Fionna is here." Said the prince of flames, agreeing with Cake.

"It's Cake..." the feline interrupted

"Oh right. Sorry..." Flame Prince said.

"You sure do a lot of apologising these days..." the vampire pointed out, receiving a glare from the prince.

"Hey Fionna!" Prince Gumball said cheerfully, walking in.

"What?" questioned the adventuress, clearly fed up of the arguments.

"Oh! Sorry...I didn't-" he began

"No. It's ok PG. It's just that-" Fionna said, but she was cut off before she could explain.

"What is he doing here?" the pink prince exclaimed, just now noticing the other prince.

"Will someone please explain who he is?" Cake shouted, tired of the arguing as well.

"HIM!" Marshal and Prince Gumball said in unison and pointed to Flame prince, who put his hands up in an 'I surrender' position.

"Why? What did he do? Who is he anyway?"Cake asked, very confused.

"I am the Flame Prince, prince of the Flame Kingdom, and-" The young prince said.

"He..." Marshal interrupted. "... put Fi in here in the first place!"

"He WHAT ?" Cake shouted, turning to the Flame Prince.

"Wait a minute Cake!" Fionna yelled at her sister. "First of all guys, I'm fine!" she began getting of the bed. "Second, it wasn't entirely FP's fault, was it Marshal?" she continued glaring at the vampire.

"Fionna is right. It takes two to have a fight." Gumball said, taking Fionna's side.

"You're not helping Gumwad!" Marshal said gritting his teeth and glaring at PG, who just shrugged.

"Wait a minute!" Cake shouted again, and everyone in the room turned to look at her.

"You're saying that these two" the feline began pointing at the vampire and the young prince. "Had a fight and hurt my baby?"she continued, getting angrier and ready to pounce on the two boys. "Hold on...did you just say...you were the...F-F-Fla-a-ame Prince?" Shuttered Cake, just now realizing who he was.

"Yes, but-"he was cut off by Cake yelling 'Don't hurt me!' and jumping into her sisters arms.

"It's alright Cake, he won't hurt you..." Fionna soothed her feline sister, stroking her fur.

"I think i better go..." the fiery prince says and begins to exit the room.

"Huh. Took you long enough..." Marshal snapped, but thankfully the Prince ignored him and reached for the doorknob.

"Bye Fionna." The Flame prince waved shyly at the heroine and exited the room.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Prince Gumball spoke.

"Well...as i was saying before all this..." he began "I spoke to Dr. Ice Cream and he said you're free to go! Just make sure you take care of your burns."

"Thanks PG!" Fionna said, and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"N-n-no problem Fionna..." said PG as he blushed.

"Hey! Don't I get a kiss too?" asked Marshal, sort of jealous. "I did save you by bringing you here you know."

"Well technically, you're the one who started this whole thing..." PG implied.

"Did not!" Marshal argued.

"Not another fight please!" Fionna begged the two boys.

"Sorry Fionna" they said in unison.

"Good. Can we go home now?" Cake asked, eager to get home and drink some catnip tea.

"Yeah. Let's go." Fionna agreed and started going towards the door.

After they said goodbye to PG, they started walking towards the treehouse. They were walking in silence when Marshal spoke up.

"You know...I never did get my kiss Fi..." Marshal Lee said in a seductive voice.

"And you're not getting it!" Cake yelled at the vampire.

"Oh come on kitty-cat! I wasn't asking her to jump off a cliff!" defended Marshal.

"Would you two stop arguing already? I've had enough of that for one day..." Fionna asked.

"Only if you'll give me that kiss bunny" Marshal said inching closer to the adventuress.

"Ugh! Fine! I'll give you a stupid kiss! Just stop it with the arguing! I'm getting a headache!" Fionna said finally giving up.

"I knew you couldn't resist me!" he stated.

"Don't flatter yourself!" she replied.

"We're here! Just kiss him so he can leave!" Cake begged and walked in the treehouse, to get some well needed tea.

"Fine...come here Marsh..." she told him, signalling him to get closer. He floated down to her and put his feet on the ground. He turned his head round and pointed to his cheek. Just when she was about to place her lips on his cheek, he quickly turned round, placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her on the lips. It all happened in a split second; she was so shocked she just froze. When he pulled away he smirked at her shocked, blushing face.

"MARSHAL LEE!" she yelled at him, still blushing. "What was that for?"

He just chuckled. "Thanks Fi!" he replied "See ya later!" and with that he began floating away...leaving a still very confused, blushing adventuress.
