"Here comes another one!" Cake shouted, preparing her tail for the next Gummy Star Fionna was going to throw.

"Cake holds her tail still, waiting for the bowler to make her move!" She shouted, grinning and showing her row of sharp cat teeth.

Fionna sighed and chucked the gooey figure at Cake, causing Cake to react rather oddly and she swung her tail quickly. This caused the Gummy Star to go flying through a window and hit a passing duck. The duck quacked and fell to the ground.

Running to the window, Cake shouted "Sorry honey! I am too good at this game!"

"Yeah that's what they all say…" The duck called back, getting to his feet and waddling off in a temper.

Cake giggled to herself and turned to Fionna, who was slumped over the couch. A hefty, extensive sigh came from the teenage girl as she stroked her bunny hat ears.

"Baby cakes, what's up? I thought Throw The Star was your favourite game?"

Fionna looked up but said nothing.

"Fi-fi, tell me your troubles." Cake said, in a suddenly concerned voice.

"It's M…"

Before Fionna could even begin her sentence, a strange light began to arise from outside the tree house. They both rushed to the window (that had been smashed quite severely from earlier) and peered out onto the ground. There, lying in the afternoon haze was a fire. Had it started by itself?

"Cake! Did you light a fire earlier?" Fionna asked, still staring at the mystery flames. Cake just shook her head and grabbed Fionna in her, now large, paw. With the human in hand, the large cat stretched downstairs and burst open the door, revealing the fire once again.

"Is it my weird cat senses, or has that thing grown twice its original size?" Cake asked, still grasping Fionna in her paw to protect her.

Shaking her grip, Fionna freed herself from Cake's soft, fluffy cage and walked up to the spitting flames. She leaned in close just as something extraordinary happened. The flame started to morph. At first, it was like water, changing its shape. But then it began to form into a… a man!

"Fionna watch out!" Cake shouted, grabbing the girl and running behind a pile of boxes.

Just as soon as Fionna was safe, the fire popped like a cracker and then appeared a boy. He seemed unaware of where he was and a little dopey.

"He looks… like a person made from fire." Cake said astounded, and also rather obviously.

"He looks like me."

Cake glanced at her friend stood beside her and saw the awe in her face. He was clearly the same age range as Fionna. That only meant one thing…

"Oooooh No! You are not gonna do what I think you wanna do!"

Swapping her stare at the boy to Cake, she replied quite rapidly "No! That's not what I meant! I just am… surprised is all."

The flame boy looked up, hearing all the commotion the two were making, and then walked toward them. Cake and Fionna suddenly turned and gasped.

"Stay away! I'm warning you pretty boy!" Cake screamed, her tail spiky with cat rage.

"P… P…" The boy mumbled.

"He's tryna' say something Cake!" Fionna shouted at her and then walked up to him.

"What? What is it?"

"P… please. I am Flame Prince. Ruler of the fire kingdom. I mean no harm."

Fionna was shocked to hear him suddenly speak perfectly well. She was also impressed by his manners.

"I'm Fionna and this is Cake… adventurers of Ooo."

Flame Prince turned to Cake and back to Fionna. He smiled and put his hand out to shake Fionna's hand, in politeness of course. Fionna had never shaken someone's hand before. Well she might've, but it was extremely rare, so she was nervous of doing it wrong.

Putting out her hand to clasp his, just as her fingers neared his, Fionna let out a loud yelp and shook her hand. Flame Prince stared in confusion and worriment.

"Have I hurt you?" He asked. This never usually happens when he shakes someone's hand.

"I. I'm not a fire elemental Flame Prince. You burn me if you touch me." Fionna said, rubbing her fingers in pain.

Flame Prince sighed and turned his back on her.

"I am sorry."

"You better be!" Cake yelled as she stroked Fionna's head in comfort.

"Cake, It's fine. It didn't hurt… that much."

Turning back, Flame Prince had a saddened expression slapped across his face. But Fionna quickly made him smile by soon saying "Don't worry FP. Hey, that's what I'll call you. FP. Flame Prince is a bit of a mouthful."

FP laughed and grinned. They both stood staring at each other, still amazed at one another. FP figured Fionna was somekind of water or even ice elemental.

"But how could an ice elemental have such a warm heart." He said aloud, not realizing at that moment in time.

When he did realise, it was too late.

Fionna questioned him with "what did you say?" along with a giggle.

Flame Prince blushed in embarrassment.

Marshal Lee was floating in his living room, strumming his bass guitar, when he heard a clamber of feet outside and a few mumbles. Then there came a knock at the door. First slowly, then more and more knocks joined in. When Marshall Lee opened his door, he didn't expect to see Fionna, Cake and a complete stranger at his house.

"Uh… hi?" he said, scratching his head.

"Marshall! This is FP! Flame Prince. He's a fire elemental! He rules the fire kingdom and he needs a place to stay until we can sort out some sleeping arrangements whilst he stays here in Ooo for a bit."

Marhsall just stared blankly at FP and then looked at Fionna. Her face lit up any kind of darkness, anytime, anywhere. The desire to smile at her was immense, but he kept a plain face and floated aside to let in his guests.

"He'll only be here for a few days then you won't have to put up with him anymore. He is still a little shaken from his journey here but he has good manners and will most likely help you with chores." Fionna said, walking into Marshall's home like it was her own.

Marshall grinned slightly at the sound of her voice then his eyes dropped open.

"A FEW DAYS?" he yelled. Marshall Lee was the last person who would let someone stay in his house, but for more than 24 hours was too much to handle. Just as he was about to say another thing, Fi turned to him and put her hands together in a prayer form. Her eyes where a brilliant blue and shined in the dank, dim light of his house.

"Please. Marshall, this is the only thing I'll ask you to do ever again."

"I wouldn't mind you asking again…"

Fionna stared at Marshall as he said those words. As he realized what he had said, he looked embarrassed. But Fionna smiled, this had warmed her heart.

Marshall shook his head and then projected "Ok! A few days, but that's it. Oh and your sleeping outside pretty boy. I don't want you catching anything alight in here."

"Thankyou good sir." He answered whilst Cake restrained him from touching anything.

Marshall looked back to Fionna and she was still smiling. He winked and flew upstairs.

"C'mon Cake, lets go. We got adventuring to be doing."
