Chapter 5:

Author's POV:

The next morning, Fionna woke up to the smell of Bacon Pancakes. She ignored Marshal's stunt last night, because she just thought he was messing with her head again... She quickly had a shower and got dressed. When she finished, she quickly climbed down the ladder and saw her sister Cake, cooking breakfast, while whistling a tune.

"Good morning Cake!" Fionna greeted her sister and sat at their table.

"Good morning babycakes!" Cake replied and joined her sister at the table, handing her, her breakfast.

"Mmm...These are delicious Cake!" Fionna said to her sister, with a mouth full of pancakes and continued eating.

"Thanks baby!" Cake replied, finishing her meal.

Just as they finished there was a knock at the door.

'I wonder who that could be...' Fionna thought, getting up from her seat.

"I'll get it!" she told Cake and walked towards the door.

When she got to the door, she heard weird noises coming from the other side. Fionna reached for the doorknob and slowly opened the door. There stood no other than Prince Gumball, Marshal Lee and Flame prince, shoving, pushing and hitting each other.

"What are you guys doing?" Asked Fionna confused.

"Um...we were-" Flame prince began, but got cut off by Marshal putting a hand over his mouth.

"Well, i don't know what the others are doing here... but I came to invite you and Cake to my summer ball." Gumball announced, giving Fionna the invitation. "It's tomorrow night, will you be able to attend?" asked Gumball.

"Oh...um sure PG!" Fionna answered.

"Splendid!" Gumball exclaimed happily. "Oh...and here are your invites..." he said to Marshal and Flame prince.

"What? You're inviting him?" asked Marshal.

"Well, yes of course!" PG said "The Candy Kingdom has very good relations with all the kingdoms in Aaa. Including the Flame Kingdom." He explained. "...and i invited you Marshal, because your Fionna's friend..." he said a bit irritated.

"Thanks PG." Fionna said.

"Don't mention it..." he replied, slightly annoyed that he had to invite the vampireand the Flame Prince.

"So...what do you guys want?" Fionna asked the other two boys.

"Well..." began the Flame Prince "I know we got off to a bad start and...I'd like to make up for it...so ...i would like to ask...if...you would like to...go to the ball with me?" he finished shyly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I-I-I...um..." Fionna began.

"Actually Fionna, I was going to ask you the same thing..." Gumball admitted.

"Marshal?" Fionna asked the vampire, curious to what he wanted.

"Yeah Fi...me two..." Marshal said, a bit nervous.

"Um..." Fionna said again, not knowing what to say.

"What's going on here?" Cake asked in her usual sassy voice.

"Um..." Fionna said again, blushing redder by the second.

"We kinda all asked Fionna to the ball..." Marshal stated.

"You're not serious" Cake questioned and looked at the three boys in front of her, then at her little sister.

"What do you think little sis?" Cake asked her.

"I-I-I...Oh i don't know!" cried Fionna putting her head in her hands trying to hide her blushing face.

"Ugh! Fine! Let me handle this!" Cake said to Fionna, and all the boys took a step back.

"So...let me get this straight." She began "You all want to date Fi?" she asked them.

"Yeah..." said the vampire.

"...y-y-yes" replied the fiery prince.

"Yes, I'm afraid so..."answered Gumball, in unison to the other two.

"Well, what now?" Cake asked." Fionna is only one person! She can't split herself in three!" she continued.

"Well...what about a friendly competition, whoever wins gets to take Fionna to the ball!" Gumball suggested.

"What do you have in mind?" Marshal asked, with a devious smirk.

"Well...what about a baking competition?" asked Gumball excited,

"A what?" FP asked confused.

"No way dude!" Marshal said to the pink prince. "That's way too girly! Even for you!"

"What do you suggest then?" he asked the vampire, annoyed that he didn't like his suggestion.

"How about we each try to impress Fionna in our one way and whoever she likes best by tomorrow night wins!" he suggested with a fanged smirk.

They all nodded.

"Hey! Have you asked Fionna's opinion on this?" Cake said to the three royals.

"It's ok Cake. Let them have their way...i don't mind. Really!" Fionna told her sister.

"Alright Fi, but if they try any funny business..."

"They won't...right guys?"

"Right!" Gumball answered.

"I'm not promising anything kitty-cat! Later Fionna!" Marshal Lee said floating away, before Cake could claw his eyes out.

"Bye Marsh!" she replied.

"Um...see you later?" FP said, waving his hand.

"Yeah...see ya FP!" she answered, as he left in a trail of fire.

"Bye-bye Fionna!" Gumball said and turned to leave.

"Bye Gumball!" Fionna said and went into the tree house.

"Hey Gumball!" Cake called.

"Oh. What is it Cake?" he asked turning round.

"Well...I think you should take my baby to the ball. You're best for her! I don't trust that vampire and I definitely don't trust the Flame Prince. There both EVIL and way too dangerous for my baby sis! Besides, i think she likes you best..."

"Thank you for your support cake! I won't let you down!" he replied and headed towards the Candy Kingdom once more to come up with a plan to win Fionna's heart. This was going to be a long day...
