Chapter 2

Fionna's P.O.V.

"o-oh...my birthday?," I asked a little suprised Marshall nodded and smiled at me "hmmmm its, soon I know that for sure," I said unsurely

"well that's okay Fi I'll just ask Cake about it," he said cheerfully "you just sleep tight tonight," he smiled at me I felt my heart jump in my chest. The reason? I have no idea. I got in my bed and Marshall and I talked about how I lost my hat I was starting to fall asleep when he started stroking my hair absentmindedly and singing a lullaby for me soon I felt the world around me dim and comfortable darkness surround me I heard Marshall's lullaby ended then I felt someone kiss me on the head... Wait did someone KISS ME ON THE HEAD?! Maybe it was just Cake. Yeah that's it. Just...cake...

Marshall's P.O.V.

I saw fionna's body relax as my lullaby came to an end. She was so beautiful like sleeping beauty, her gold hair draped around her face making her look like a goddess as the candle light reflected off her hair. Her face was so peaceful and happy it made my heart jump every time she smiled at me. I couldn't resist it anymore, I bent down and kissed my princess on her perfect forehead. When I leaned away I saw her face brighten a smile spread across her face as she turned crimson red. Wait was she still awake!? Oh man that would be so bad if she knew it was me! I thought to myself. I floated out of there as quietly and quickly as I could and went downstairs to ask cake about Fionna's birthday.

"her birthday? Why you wanna know about that?," she asked me rudely taking a sip of some hot cocoa she made.

"well its your birthday-,"

"wrong! My birthday was yesterday, or about an hour and half ago." she answered sarcastically.

"um...okay... Sorry, well your birthday got me thinking about her's so I was just wondering when it is."

"it's in two weeks and three days. Prince Gumball's gonna throw a ball for her and all that."

"hmmm I think that's enought time to make it by then."

"make what Marshall?! what are you gonna make her for birthday?,"

"I'm going to make her a beautiful dress and the ball is the perfect chance for her to show it off"

"dude... You sound like a fairy godmother..." she said

"it's going to be blue and white with gold trimming," I said ignoring her last statement "and don't tell her!" I said accusingly

"yeah well whatever I won't tell her about it so just go home I'm tired and I'm going to go to bed now," cake said getting up from the table and stretching up the stairs. I blew out the candles and floated out the window the moon was full tonight and I could hear the why wolves howling in the distance, I looked behind me at the know dark tree house.

"sleep tight my angel," I whispered. I turned around and went home thinking of Fionna's beautiful face. I've loved her for awhile now I don't know when it started but I know felt this way when she was thirteen. Trying to restrain myself from taking her to a safe place and making sure she never had to fight another monster again or get hurt again was so hard but I've been doing it for three years now so I've gotten pretty good at restraining myself... That and I don't think she would like it if I kidnapped her just to protect her, she doesn't seem like that kind of person...

"hmmm" I was deep in thought when I saw a bright orange light pass me a couple of yards away it was fast and it was going in the direction of the treehouse. It took me a second to realize this and and after I did I rushed after it. I caught up with about a half a mile away from from treehouse the light slowed to a stop and faced me it was a guy... A fire guy... Wearing a crown...

"Ay man would ya stop following me?! I got myself some business to attend to so leave me alone and go home!," the guy yelled at me (he was about ten yards away from me)

"Naw man not till you tell me what your doing in these woods, at this time of night, heading this certain direction!," I yeld back getting a little peeved at this guys attitude

"Do you know who your talking to?!," he asked me rudely "I am the flame prince!," he pointed at himself and then pointed at me "and your lucky that I don't punish people I don't know!"

"well you must not know me then because if you tried to punish me I would send you to the deepest depths of the underworld!" I pointed at him, his face contorted and he looked as if he was thinking about something at great length

"ah, I've been waiting for a good fight like this!" he said

"wait...what?" I said all of sudden a bright ball of orange flew towards me so quickly that I couldn't dodge it and it hit me right in the gut I flew into a tree . It felt like my skin was boiling but when I checked my chest there was nothing but an appearing bruise

"Confused Vampire King? Well stop it. The only reason I'm going easy on you is because I don't want you to turn into a pile of ash in the middle of our fight because it wouldn't be fair" he sneered. I realized the sky was a lighter shade of black than before, the was sun rising I had to get home quick.

"spoiled brat," I muttered and dodged a fire ball that was slower this time.

"GO HOME ZOMBIE!" he yelled at me. I thought it was kinda funny that he was mad but I went home because I didn't feel like turning into a puddle of boiling acid, and NO, I do NOT turn into ash...nor do I sparkle...

Fionna's P.O.V.

"Fionna come dance with me," said a mysterious man

"Come on Fi choose me, come dance with me," another guy stuck out his hand in front of me

"No Fionna ignore those idiots and come dance me," said another man who pushed the other guys to the side. I saw myself back up slowly at first then I turned around and started running, I couldn't get anywhere though.

"Fionna...Fionna... Dance with us... Fionna... Come... With us" all three of them said all of sudden the tile underneath my feet ran out and I was falling.

THUMP!

"ouch...," I moaned I had fallen out of my bed head first. I got up and went to the bathroom to relieve myself when I realized the dream was black and white and all three guy's faces where cut off only to their mouths. I shivered.

"god what a strange dream... What was with the falling?," I muttered to myself

After I came out I heard someone laughing... It was one of those strong male laughs...strange...

Then I heard cake come pattering up the stairs.

"Hey Fi get dressed quickly because there's a prince downstairs that needs your help!," she said and ran back down stairs because the tea kettle started going off

"oh...um...ok...," I said a little bit confused. I started pulling off my gown and only had my bra and undies on a little while later when I heard someone gasp

"My sincere apologies p-princess!," said a very male voice I turned around to see guy made of fire blushing brightly and covering his eyes when I turned around.

"I-I was told the lavatory was up here," he stuttered. He started backing up towards the stairs his hands still covering his eyes

"wait, NO YOU'LL FA-," I yelled but was cut off by a thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

"oouuchh," moaned the Prince, I slipped my night gown back on and ran downstairs to comfort him

"Oh my! You poor thing let me take you to the couch!," I said frantically. Cake just sat there sipping her hot chocolate, she already didn't like this Prince... I got the prince an ice pack for his back and comforted him "I'm sorry this happened to you!," I said getting him some more pillows for some reason he looked like he could burn through a metal wall but was regular temperature for a living being

Flame Prince's P.O.V.

"oh my, it looks like I've ruined my welcome here I should probably get going," I said starting to get up, I really didn't want let my rage and embarrassment out on this beautiful girl.

"oh no, your hurt I can't let you go home like this you should at least rest first! please, as protector of princes," she pleaded her face looked sad as if it was her fault. She made me want to keep her all to myself and for some reason, these feelings made me extremely mad.

"so are you the Prince from the fire kingdom?" she asked me her face brightening that mad all my anger disappear... I kinda just stared at her face in amazement at how pretty it was then answered when her smile started to fade.

"u-uh...u-um... Why yes I am, it's so nice to meet you. My sincere apologies about before..." I said stuttering and remembered...it... When I walked in on her stripp-...

"oh yea about that...um... Just forget about that..." she said her cheeks and ears turning a dark pink... She was so cute... "I uh...I'm going to go get dressed now." she said wrapping her hair around her fingers and avoiding eye contact, her face still totally pink.

"oh...uh okay," I said feeling sorta bad that I had brought such embarrassment on such a cute girl. She got up and left leaving me here with cake the cat...

"Hmmm...," she she said glaring at me I kinda just stared back at her

"so you don't like me anymore?," I asked

"yes,"

"oh...I'm sorry?" I said shrugging at her and smiling innocently

"you better be! You sorry son of a-," she yelled but was interrupted by fionna

"you leave him alone cake! You leave him alone right now!," she yelled from the room above. Cake having climbed on top of her chair to pounce on me settled back into it and picked up her coffee and just stared at me...just stared...
