Marshall picks up Fionna in his arms, she sobs against his shirt, muffling her cries. He flies up to the bedroom, laying her down and stroking her hair, trying to comfort her.
"I can't believe this whole time... He never wanted us together, he never wanted me to be with you. He loved you- he still does." She stops crying, clearing her face of the despair. Marshall mumbles something, leaning close. "Fi, I never would've chosen him." That's not al she was crying about. "Fionna. I hate hurting Gumball as much as you, he's a good guy who deserves another good guy." It's true. She sniffles.
"Right. But he's not going to get over this easily... Remember when Flame Prince rejected him? He wouldn't stop crying for days. Maybe we should go visit Flame Prince to see why he rejected PG and maybe find him someone new?" She suggested, hopeful.
"That's a good idea, wanna go today?" He asks, grinning slightly. Without confirming, he goes to the closet and get an umbrella, for the sunlight. She just smiles at him and takes his hand. They slam the door behind them.
Once they're out of the cave, they use the umbrella. They hover a couple feet off the ground and make their way to the Fire Kingdom. Outside is Flambo. In his heavy New York accent, he says "What are youse doin' here? Vampires gimme the creepy crawlies!"
Fionna sighs, "We need you to put that fire spell on us so we can go into the Fire Kingdom and NOT get burned to a crisp." She retorts' aggravated.
"Well then, not with that attitude." He scowls. Her face turns from aggravated to saddened and pleading. Flambo wasn't the nicest guy around but he cares about others. "Allright, allright. Flame resistance spells for both of youse." He speaks a native spell and spreads his arms. "There you go, 100% fire proof." Fionna smiles, running off with Marshall to the Fire Kingdom.
They arrive to the Fire Foyer where Fire Prince is sealed in a glass container, looking bored. The Queen sits in her throne of flames, impatiently awaiting Fionna to speak. Her voice booms "Travlers, what do you come for?" Her eyes narrow on Marshall, whispers of the other Fire people filling the room.
"King of the Fire Kingdom, I wish to speak to your son, if I may." Fionna stifles a giggle from how royal he sounds compared to how he usually talks. Flame Prince perks up at the sound of people wanting to see him.
"Why? You must have a good reason, indecent peasants." Her eyes burn on Fionna, nothing else distracting her.
"We need to - uh - It's a secret! but we have a good reason, I promise. Just please, let us talk to him." She looks side to side, pondering what to do.
"Hmmmmm, I suppose he can come out." She releases him and they run out the door. Flame Prince doesn't care who they are, he's just glad to be out of that stuffy glass jar.
"So are you guys going to tell me why you want to talk to me?" Flame Prince wasn't exactly friends with Foinna and Marshall Lee but he's seen them around before.
"Uh yeah... We we're wondering why you rejected Gumball before... Because we have a situation the involves him." she says, pursing her lips tightly after.
Marshall adds on "And we wanted to know if you knew how to make him feel better and what we should do. We're pretty much lost, this came out of nowhere. And also, hes our friend and we care about him, we don't want him sad anymore." His eyes are sympathetic.
"Well.. We were best friends and once he asked me to be his, I couldn't do it. I was scared of commitment and getting hurt again, like what's happened all my life." He sighs sadly. "But Gumball's a good guy, I regret saying 'No.' I remember that the only way he got over me was moving on to someone else.. I just forgot who it was." He thinks.
"It was me!" Marshall exclaims. "He's inlove with me and I have no idea how to make him feel better because my heart belongs to Fionna and I never want to leave her, I can't do anything to make him better." He sighs, frustrated. "Except..." He trails off. Flame Prince raises an eyebrow curiously. "Unless maybe you can distract him?" He asks desperatley.
Flame Prince's mouth curves into a smile. "I've always regretted making him sad. Yes, I want to be with him" Fionna and Marshall Lee smile hopefully, walking back to the Candy Kingom.
