Narration
Fionna awakened in her bed. She bolted upright, unable to remember falling asleep the previous evening. She stretched and rubbed her eyes, slowly making her way down the stairs and landing hard on the couch next to her sister.
"Morning sunshine," Cake said.
"Whahpned," Fionna's words jumbled together as she yawned. She cleared her throat and said again, "What happened?"
"You ran with the wolves and got tired out, babe. Marshal Lee had to carry you home." Fionna just nodded, memories of the night returning to her.
Marshal Lee had taken her to the wolves' den, and they had raced the animals for hours on end. After Fionna's legs were sore from running and Marshal Lee became bored, he flew her to the cloud kingdom and they rested. It became cold up there, being as the wind was much stronger, and Marshal Lee pulled the heroin onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her.
"Is my tough little Fionna cold?" He had teased.
"I'm n-not c-c-cold," Fionna's defiance was ruined by the tremors cascading down her spine. Marshal Lee hugged her tighter, reaching into her pack and pulling out her ever-present pink sweater to wrap around the girl's shoulders. She curled into a tight ball, as if the compactness would heat her faster, and lay her head on Marshal's shoulder.
"Whatever you say, Fi-Fi," He laughed, staring past the girl into the horizon. The sun would rise soon, he knew. Looking down at the girl, Marshal Lee realized she had fallen asleep already. He lifted her chin, gazing at her sleeping face She looked so fragile, like a flower. He leaned in and kissed her, so softly she wouldn't have felt it if she wasn't awake, "Sleep tight," he whispered, and carried her home.
"Hey, Fionna?" Cake nudged the girl's shoulder to grab her attention. Fionna sat smiling, her fingers gently pressed to her lips.
"Huh? Oh. Yeah, Cake?" she shook her head and returned to the present, grinning at her sister. Cake grabbed Fionna's bag and hat from the floor nearby, and tossed them over.
"What time is it?" She asked.
"Adventure time!" They both laughed and raced to the door.
Ice Queen
It's so easy! So simple! Why didn't I think of this before?
From my ice castle, I can see so much of the land of Aaa. Being as my castle is actually a mountain, I could also see the Cloud Kingdom late in the night, when two small figures arrived and disrupted my midnight sobbing session. I watched as Fionna the human and Marshal Lee the Vampire King huddled against the cold winds, and contemplated whether to leave them be or attack. I was just preparing to zap them, when I saw the king lean down and gently kiss the small girl. If my vision weren't so enhanced by the power of my crown, I would have missed it. He then held her close and flew away.
This cannot possibly be this easy.
All I would have to do is wait for Fionna to fall for the Vampire King.
Judging by her eagerness to be with Gumball, I assumed she had great feelings for him. However, I knew he had none the same for her. That boy had the power to break her heart, and then she'd never go back. All I had to do was wait. Then, when she would hate him for hurting her poor little heart so dearly, I'd capture him, and she'd let him go. I would be doing her a favor. And also, he'd be mine! I laughed.
"Gunther! I'm a genius!" I cried, spinning in happy circles around my home and dancing around the many confused penguins waddling around the floor.
One day, when I'm happily married to Gumball and Fionna to the Vampire King, she'll apologize for always beating me up. I'll forgive her, and we'll be best friends.
Ooh! Maybe we can have a double wedding!
Happy plans swirled around my mind. All I had to do was wait.
Marshal Lee
Ikissed her.
Fionna
He kissed me.
Marshal Lee
Of course, she wasn't awake. But I still kissed her. I wonder if she'd kiss me when she was awake. Probably not.
Fionna
He didn't know I was awake. But he still kissed me. I wonder if he'd still have kissed me if he knew I wasn't sleeping. Probably not.
Marshal Lee
Why did I kiss her? Do I like her? I don't know…
Fionna
Why did he kiss me? Does he like me? Do I like him? No, I like Gumball… But that'd never work out… But Cake said I shouldn't give up on him… I don't know…
Cake was battling an ugly creature, and I sat nearby eating one of the many snacks we brought.
Marshal Lee is just my friend.
Friends didn't kiss each other.
I don't know. Maybe it's different than that. Maybe it was a goodnight kiss, like Mom used to give us when we were little. Yeah.
Marshal Lee wouldn't like me, anyway. If Gumball didn't, what made me think Marshal would?
Exactly. He wouldn't. So stop worrying about it. He's just your bro.
I finished my snack and grabbed my sword, running to join Cake as she defeated the creature.
He'd never like me.
Marshal Lee
I like her so much.
