Fionna PoV.

~Re-Cap~

A few tears fell onto his face, "…what once was mine." The last line came out as a cracked whisper, I stroked his face. We stayed like that for a long time. Then I felt something warm, I looked down at Marshall, and a bright light came from his wound. Something was going to happen…

I was blinded for a brief moment, though it felt like forever, it felt like the sun had burst into the whole building, but the light felt warm and comforting, not harmful in any way. Marceline and Gumball were in each other's arms staring in disbelief as we were all enveloped in the bright light. After that one long moment, the light faded and retreated back to where it came: Marshall.

Marceline, Gumball and I stared in amazement, not quite sure what had just happened, "W-what just happened…?" Marcy murmured, tears still in her eyes, Gumball looked confused. I looked down at Marshall again, I pulled his vest aside and saw that the blood was gone, I lifted his shirt a little to see that the wound had completely disappeared, my eyes widened and I gently put my hand on his chest, to feel his heart beating at a normal pace, I leaned in closer to his face, "Marshall Lee…?" I whispered, Marceline and Gumball leaned in closer too, tensed and anxious. Marshall groaned a little, and opened his eyes half way and looked at me, "Fionna…?" he murmured, I beamed at him, tears still in my eyes, and gave a small laugh of relief, he gave me his signature smirk, and started to play with my almost hip length hair, "Did I ever tell you I have a thing for blondes?" he said, I beamed at him and tackled him into a hug, "Marshall!" I said laughing and crying at the same time, he held me close and dug his face into the crook of my small neck, I pulled away and grinned as he grinned back; Marceline hugged him too, and then hit him in the back of the head, "Ow! What was that for Marcy?" "That was for almost dying!" she joked, he laughed and turned back to me and smiled at me genuinely, "Hey Blondie, I wanted to say I—" I cut him off and pressed my lips on his, he was surprised for a moment, but then slowly responded. I pulled away, both of our faces a little pink, "I love you too, Marsh." We all laughed, but that's when Gumball stepped in, he looked like we was going to burst his face was so red, he walked up to Marcy, he gave his most serious face he could, "Marceline. I absolutely have to tell you this before another word is spoken." He said, he took her hand and looked into her eyes, his face pink; "Marceline, even though you are the sister of my former enemy, and I know I met you only a few days ago…" he took a deep breath, "But Marcy. I think you are the most courageous and most beautiful girl I have ever met; and I really, really like-!" he was cut off by Marceline kissing him, Gumball was completely taken by surprise, but before he could respond she pulled away, Gumball was completely red, "I do too." Marcy said, "Y-yeah…you-u…I-I…y-you…ugh…." He was lost for words, I giggled and looked at Marshall, whose face was full of contempt, "Dude…really? That's just gross." He said groaned, I laughed and tugged at his vest towards me, "What? Did you think me kissing you was gross too?" he looked surprised, "W-what? No! It was just fine!" I smirked, "Prove it." I said, he smirked and pressed his lips on mine, holding my face in place. I honestly don't know how long we stayed like that.

"C'mon, let's get out of this dreary place." Cake said finally, we all laughed.

Another PoV.

"Mother, Father! Come quick!" the 17 year old prince ran down the hallway to his parents study. The King and Queen of Aaa looked up at their son who suddenly burst through their door. The Queen looked up from her book, "Finn, dear, what is it?" she asked kindly, the prince with his once nicely combed hair looked up panting, his blue eyes gleaming with excitement, "T-they found her—!" he gasped, this got his parent's attention, they looked at their son seriously, the queen's eyes widened, "You mean she…?" her son nodded, grinning widely, "Yes, Mother." He said calmly, the queen immediately stood up and ran quickly out of the study, her husband and son quickly following behind her.

The King turned his son, "Finn. Are you sure it's her?" he asked, the prince turned to his father with that youthful look in his eyes, "I'd know her anywhere." He smiled.

Marshall PoV.

Fionna was shaking like crazy, she fidgeted non-stop as she looked out over the balcony of the castle, Marcy tried to comfort her as I held her hand, she turned to me with worried eyes, "W-what if they don't recognize me?" she said, I smiled at her and wrapped my arm around her, "They will, Fi. Don't worry." I say she relaxed a little.

After we left the tower; she told us everything about her memory of being the lost princess, at first I was a little skeptical, but when I thought it over, it made complete sense. Gumball believed her almost immediately. I think you can guess what he did at that point.

"They're coming." Gumball said, the doors behind us opened and we all turned around. I looked at the queen who came out first; her appearance was identical to Fionna's; same hair, same skin, and the same bold blue eyes. I knew right then and there that this woman was her mother.

Fionna looked as nervous as ever but she gained the courage to step forward towards her. The queen slowly walked towards her as she looked at her as if to make sure she was real. She reached her hand out slowly and touched Fionna's cheek. Her eyes welled with tears as she smiled with relief, Fionna smiled too, as she was wrapped in a hug with her real mother.

I leaned against the railing and smiled as the king walked up and embraced his wife and reunited daughter, and her brother coming into the group hug. Queen Rebecca looked up at me and offered her hand to me; I smiled at her and took it, only to be pulled into the group hug. Gumball and Marcy followed soon after.

Under the crushing arms of everyone, I looked at Fionna and she looked at me and we both laughed as did everyone else.

Fionna finally had a family worth waiting for…

One more chapter! It's almost done!
