Hey guys, you're probably wondering: "Why a new update so soon?". Well, I'm going on vacations today and won't be home till next Monday, so I won't have time to write the next chapter till then. So me and my friend decided to post this one sooner than usual (:

Next update will be up on the next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Enjoy Chapter 6!

Fionna's POV:

After our journey to the mountains, Cake stretched us to the entrance. Not much light entered the cave, which is why I stumbled on a snail, making me fall right in front of the monster that was guarding the cave. It seemed like it was sleeping. I tried to get up without being noticed by the monster but failed.

The enormous creature grabbed me with one of his tentacles, and I could barely move my fingers. Cake tried to help me, but ended up trapped too.
Luckily I managed to loosen the grip enough to move my arms and grab my demon sword cutting of one of its tentacles. I went to help Cake, cutting off some tentacles on my way, but every time I cut one two more appeared, making it an almost impossible task to get to my cat sister.

"Cake can you manage if I leave you there for two minutes?" I asked making a new plan as we went. "I think so, but don't take long and be careful Fionna" and with those words I ran in the direction of the monster's eye and jabbed my sword in it. The tentacles all fell, Cake quickly grabbed the key that was on one of the monster's arms and then it disappeared all of a sudden making a cloud similar to the ones that appear in comics.

Cake moved forward towards the chest with the potions, opening it. "Oh my glob, look Cake, there are so many!" I said looking mesmerized at the labels that said what which potion did. "Remember what Booko said Fionna, three potions only!" she warned me. "I know." I answered, merely looking at Cake. The potions in front of me were all to exciting.

"Hey look, this one would make me stretch like you! And this one would make me fly." I said, amazed by all the magic around me."Fionna, three potions only1 Hurry up, we don't have much time." Cake stated, worried about Peppermint Maid. "Ok. Let's go, I know which ones I'm going to take. But don't you want to take some to?" I asked curious.

"No honey, I've got all I need." She said smiling. "Ok then, let's roll!" And with that we came back to the Candy Kingdom. When we got there it was only half an hour to sunset so we immediately ran towards the room where we knew Gumball and Peppermint Maid would be.

"Fionna, finally you're here! Thank you so much. Did you get the potions without problems?" Gumball asked letting go of Peppermint Maid's hand. "Yes, we did. Sorry it took us long… it was my fault, I got distracted by the potions." I admitted, proceeding to take the potion that Gumball wanted out of my backpack.

"It's ok Fionna, we still have time." He said, giving PM a signal to sit up so that she could drink the potion. With Cake's help and a little effort she swallowed the potion and lay down again. "The effect shouldn't take long now. In the name of the candy people I thank you for being our hero. We wouldn't be able to save Peppermint Maid without you and Cake." PG blurted, with his normal courtesy tone.

"It's alright Gumball, we would do anything to help people. It's just what we do. Right, Cake?" I said, modestly, waiting for my sister's response. "Yep." She answered. Cake must've been just as tired as I was, defeating a monster is something tiring to do. All I wanted to do at the moment was go home and tell Marshall what I got at the mountain.

"So Gumball, is it ok if we go home know? Don't take it badly, I'm just tired." I said, yawning a little. "Sure Fionna, just one thing. Will you come to our autumn's ending ball? It's a week from today in the castle at 7 o'clock." Gumball announced excited. Damn, he sure loved throwing balls, not that I minded it, and I kinda liked those parties, just not the dressing part.

"Probably. Do we have to wear costumes?" I asked, so that if the answer was yes I would have the needed time to think about what to be. "Yes, I would like so. It's a costume ball, I should have mentioned it earlier." He stated looking at the heart monitor connected to Peppermint Maid to see the improvements in her heart beat.

"Ok then. I'm going home. Cake, you coming?" I asked walking towards the door. "Sure, let me just say goodbye to Mochro and we'll be able to go. He's still here right Gumball?" she questioned, getting up from the chair that was next to PM's bed. "Yes, he's at the castle gardens next to the gate." Gumball answered, picking up a pad and a pen, swiftly starting to take notes of something, probably Peppermint Maid's condition.

"Ok then. Thank you, Gumball. Let's go Fionna." We headed home after Cake said goodbye to Lord Monochromicorn. When we finally arrived to the tree house, I saw a note at the door. "Who's it from, babycakes?" my sister asked as I started to read the note. "It's from Marshall, he wants to see me as soon as possible." I said, running my eyes over the little note. "Then what are you waiting for? Go Fionna, go after your man. But hurry, cause I'm going to cook dinner with BMO and it won't take much time to get ready!" She warned and I didn't think twice as I ran towards Marshall's house, even though I was exhausted.

Marshall's POV:

Fionna broke the kiss and went to bed leaving me on the roof alone. Damn, that girl caught me off guard! I was not expecting that from Fionna. I floated to my house and thought about Fionna all night. I even wrote a song about her. Who would say I'd be so caught up in that girl's charm? I managed to sleep a little in the morning but I was woken up by a strange noise.

When I went to check what it was, it turned out to only be a mere rat. Fionna kept slipping through my mind all day. I had to talk to her and since I couldn't sleep I went out to buy a movie and stop at Fionna's.

She wasn't home. She must've been doing some errand stuff for the Gum with a stick. Anyways, since she wasn't home I decided to leave her a note and move on to the movie store. I bought two movies, actually: "The Woman in Black" and "Texas Chainsaw".

I watched the second one but nearing the end of it I was interrupted by a knock on my door. As I opened the door, the human girl filled my eyes. "Fionna, I guess you saw my note." I said, smiling at the sight of her, like I usually did.

"I did and I also need to talk to you." She stated, entering my house and sitting on my couch. "Marshall you really need to get a new couch!" she complained while I closed the door and floated towards her.

"Then sit on my lap." I dared her, smiling even more. "I'm not gonna change my couch so soon, I really like it's color." I added. "Fine. But just this time." She said, blushing. Wow, if she took my offer the couch must be really uncomfortable, but I wouldn't know since I never used it. "So what did you wanna say?"
