Enjoy this chapter!

Fionna's POV:

I proceeded to grab Marshall Lee's foot, preventing him from leaving. He turned around and I pushed the fabric of his pants a little, motioning for him to lower himself down. The vampire shot me a questioning look but did as he was asked. Then, I shyly but quickly pecked his lips. I felt him smile slightly during the little kiss before I broke it off and it sent shivers through my entire body.

"I better go to bed." I said, turning around from him. "Goodnight, Marshall." And with that I began to make my way out of the roof, leaving the vampire alone. When I got to my bed I instantly feel into my sheets and smiled into my pillow. That would surely be a night to remember.

After a few moments I was sound asleep.

I woke up with a sweet scent coming from the kitchen. Looking around I noticed Cake and BMO were already up, so I decided to change my clothes and go meet them at the kitchen, where they both should be.

"Good morning Fionna." little BMO greeted, as soon as I left the bedroom. I smiled widely and sat by his side on our table. Cake was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Cake?" I asked, yawning. BMO didn't answer, limiting himself to reproduce a video recorded earlier by my cat sister.

"Hey Fionna, you're probably wondering why I'm not home. Well, Prince Gumball needed someone urgently to help him with Peppermint Maid. She's been 'attacked' by a huge hug wolf yesterday night and has been found heavily wounded today at the Candy Kingdom's surroundings. As soon as I knew, I left to help and I was about to call you, but you were sleeping so peacefully I didn't have the courage to wake you up, mainly because it has been the first night I woke up without seeing a pained expression in your face. Anyway, as soon as you see this, come meet us at the Candy Kingdom. We have some work to do." And then the screen turned black and BMO's features appeared again. I left in a hurry, barely eating my breakfast, to get to the Candy Kingdom as soon as I could.

When I finally got there, I didn't see the usual amount of candy people. There was almost nobody outside the castle. I hurried inside and was welcomed with a crowd of candy people smuggling themselves to get a peak of Peppermint Maid's condition. After a few moments I found myself inside the room the injured candy was in.

"Fionna, you're here at last." Prince Gumball said, motioning with is hand for me to come closer to the hospital bed, where Peppermint Maid rested. She was covered in bruises. Cake was beside her, a water cloth in her paw.

"The hug wolf hugged her pretty badly. We're afraid she's not gonna resist for much longer." Cake stated, looking at me. "What can we do to help her?" I asked Prince Gumball, who proceeded to give me an old looking torn piece of paper. A red filled bottle was the only thing in it along with a few words in an ancient language and I instantly knew what to do.

"We need to find this potion, don't we?" I questioned, though I knew the answer I'd receive. PG nodded. "It's the only solution. If we don't get this by sunrise, she'll turn into a hug wolf as well." Cake informed. We both exchanged a knowing glance and my cat sister joined me, retrieving the piece of paper from my hands.

"Where can we find the potion?" I asked Gumball. "That's the tough part. I have no idea. The piece of paper is torn and there's information missing." he answered.

"We could always consult Booko, right?" Cake suggested and it was settled. Me and her would ask Booko to tell us where we could find the healing potion and what we had to do to get it. I just hoped we were fast enough to save PM.

(…)

Some time later, we were in a library with the key guardians and Booko.

"Hum… according to my knowledge this is a very rare potion. Murtlap Essence. You can only find these in the tallest mountain of Ooo." Booko said, fluently. He obviously knew what he was talking about. "But, you can only take it once you fight the mountain's keeper." Cake and I looked at each other.

"The mountain's keeper?" I asked, curious. "Yes. The Evil Monster. You have to defeat him in order to get the potion you seek." Booko answered, a hologram of the creature filling the air. A crystal eyed monster with a devilish grin and green spikes sticking out of his back, who seemed to be laughing nonstop. His body, very long, had a tremendous amount of tentacles and two skinny arms. On his right wrist there was a chained key.

"Pretty evil. We're gonna have a crazy time trying to defeat him!" Cake said, her eyes wide looking at the creature. I continued to stare at the little key. "That key is what gives you access to the potions, Fionna. If you defeat the monster, a chest with a big amount of potions will appear. Use the key to open it. But be careful!" Booko said.

"Why?" I questioned, puzzled. "Because you can only take three potions of your choice. There will be many temptations to make you fail, and if you do, you'll be stuck in the mountain forever. The chest will read your mind and produce potions that match your most profound wishes. You can't fight it with swords, only with the strength of your mind. This is very important. Take only three potions or less." He answered, with a serious expression.

"Thanks for the advice, but we're only in need for one potion, I'm sure nothing bad is going to happen due to that. Right Fionna?" said my cat sister. I nodded.

"Yeah, at the moment I think I'm more concerned about the monster. What can we do to defeat him?" I asked, looking at the hologram again. "The only way to do so is to stab him in the eye with a demon sword." Booko answered. It seemed easy enough.

"Ok, I think we have all the information we needed." Cake stated and got up from the floor, stretching her paws. I also got up, my legs a bit sore from sitting in it.

We headed to the library's exit, in order to begin our journey, but were stopped by our little red friend. "Remember. Only three potions can be taken. It's very important." He advised. Cake rolled her eyes and got out of the large room. I, instead, looked back at Booko. Why was he insisting so much in this part? We would only need one potion. Right?

"Don't worry Booko." I said, trying to sound secure. He only nodded and I turned around. Maybe he knew something else. Or maybe I was just over exaggerating things, which seemed to be the more rational option.

I met up with Cake and we both started our journey. After all, there would be a long way till we got to Ooo's tallest mountain and we only had less than a day to complete our mission before Peppermint Maid succumbed to her fate.

I looked into my sister's eyes and she gave me a reassuring glance. It would all be fine. We've faced worse and we'd do anything to save Peppermint Maid. There was no way we would fail her.

I smiled and climbed onto her back. As she started walking, I remembered Booko's words before we left the library. What had he meant? What potion would I possibly want instead of the one we were seeking for?

The question was troubling me and I decided not to think about it anymore. I brought my face to Cake's fur and felt her breathing, the intakes of breath filling her body followed by the air leaving her mouth. It was soothing and it was enough to calm me down.

This would be a long day.
