In Aaa...
"Ow... my head..."
Fionna woke up lying on what seemed to be a bed. She tried to open her eyes, but they felt heavy when she blinked, so she gave up trying. First, she got her thoughts straight. She was lying on a bed because... because she had lost consciousness. That seemed strange from her...
Never mind, she had fainted because... she had touched the mirror. How strange. "Okey, let's see where I am." This time she could open her eyes, and she realized that she was in a place made of wood. And yes, she really was in a bed. When her vision started returning properly to her, the scuttle opened and she quickly lied again in the bed, closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping. She wanted to be sure that whoever had come into the room was friend or foe.
-Fionna, you awake? -Said a feminine voice. "How does she know my name?" The women sighed.- It's so weird that you blacked out, and just before going adventuring... Well... I'm going to cook something for you...-
The sound of the footsteps going out of the room told Fionna that she was alone again. And she was wide awake now. The ache was still in her head, but she tried to focus on what was happening . She opened her eyes and this time she saw everything clearly. When she saw that she was in a room that seemed made inside a tree, she had a dejavu. But she still didn't know where she was. She looked for something in the room that could tell her how she get there. But she didn't find anything that could clear up the situation. As every time she gets nervous, Fionna set aside her fringe. And then she touched the hat. "A hat? What the... I never wear hats!" She took off the hat and she had another dejavu. "A hat with bunny ears... Where have I seen one like this before? And what am I wearing?"
When she saw she was wearing a blue T-shirt, a blue skirt, and white high socks, she went right to the closet. But all the clothes were exactly the same. "What kind of girl has just one outfit? And... who changed my clothes? Am I kidnapped?!" Fionna told herself to relax, and letting the hat on the bed, she went near the window, prepared to jump. It was a little to high for her, but she wasn't a cheerleader in vain. Besides, that place seemed to be build inside a tree, so it was easy to climb down. When her feet stepped on the grass, she looked back to see where had she been captive all the time. It really was a tree. Totally confused, she ended up thinking that the best thing she could do was running away from there, before the kidnapper, or kidnappers, realized she wasn't there anymore. Without knowing where she could go, she start running away, with no idea where she was or why.
Fionna was still running without destination. After an hour, she realized she was even more lost than before, and she sat on a rock to have a rest. When she got her breathe back, she tried to think what would be her next step. She looked around and she saw a duck looking at her. "What the heck is doing a duck in the forest? Maybe that means that there's a lake near here... I'm so thirsty..." And she just looked at him, maybe he was about to go to his home, but he just stood there, looking back. After a few minutes, she couldn't wait more like that, and she shout at him:
-Go home or lake or whatever! There's no need to remind me that I'm possibly dying of thirst and hunger, so... LEAVE ME ALONE!
The duck looked at her bugged, and he walked away from her. Fionna sighed sadly. The duck heard the sigh and looked back at her with sorrow. He gestured her with his head to follow him, and she did. "Yeah, follow the duck, it's the best thing you can do..." She thought with sarcasm, "Well, it's the only thing you can do..." The duck looked back constantly to see if she was really following him.
When Fionna was about to faint of hunger, thirst and exhaustion, the duck passed through some herbage, and when she passed too, she couldn't believe her eyes. There was a wellspring full of fresh and clean water, with a lot of fruit trees around. She went running to drink a little bit of water, and when she went to one of the fruit trees and eat some of their fruit. She didn't know what kind of food was, but it didn't matter, it was delicious. When she had enough, she lied in the grass. The duck that had taken her to that place was looking at her, waiting for her to say something. She sighted again, and said:
-I guess that was your intention to bring me here... I can't believe I'm saying this to a duck but... Thank you.
-Well, know that I've taken you here 'cause you looked pitiful and I'm a good guy, I could had let you there dying! At least you've been grateful at the end, 'cause if you hadn't said thanks I would have driven you to a lonely cave where you would die! -Said the duck.-
Fionna blinked a few times.
"The duck had just talked to me?", thought before she stood up with a jump, screaming. "THE DUCK TALKED TO ME! THE. DUCK!" Her scream alerted some of the forest animals, who went to her asking if she was OK Fionna, even more confused and scared than before, run away from that place, refusing to come back. When she was running with no idea where to go, just like before, she started to think that she had lost her mind. The animals talked to her. It wasn't a joke. They talked. TO HER. She stopped running, breathless, after running a non-known time, but it was starting to get dark. "All of this is a dream, must be a dream. I hit my head and I'm only dreaming... A little pinch and I'll wake up."
She pinched herself with all her strength, and it was clear to her that it wasn't a dream. Besides, when she looked at her arm, she realized that the branches had broken a little bit her clothes and had scratched her. "And what if someone drugged me? That would explain why I don't wake up, why the animals talk, and why this tree is made of cotton-candy.. Wait a second... Cotton-candy?" To prove if that was really candy, she tasted a branch. Yes, it was cotton-candy "Wait, if I was drugged, that wouldn't be real cotton-candy.. Then... where am I?" Completely desperated, she followed the way that the candy trees showed her before she arrived to a wall made of... Cake? Well, made of candy. She fell in the wall, and she heard someone going there.
-Fionna? What are you doing out here? Oh my goodness.. Has happened something? Your clothes... -Said a masculine voice that she recognized as... Patrick B. Gumball? He was in that crazy world too? It was dark now, and there wasn't any light but she would recognize his voice anywhere. She wanted to go with him, but she was too tired, she almost couldn't stay standing up. When he could get enough close to her to look her in the eyes, she looked back, and holding him to not fall, she kissed him.
