Prince Gumball: An 18-year-old gum/human hybrid and Fionna's crush. He is the prince of the Candy Kingdom. Prince Gumball has the same color scheme as his female counterpart. He has pink skin and his hair is somewhat in a quiff. His head is adorned with a small golden crown with a blue jewel. He wears a hot pink shirt with orange-pink puffed sleeves with magenta stripes and under-sleeves (accompanied by dark-pink sleeve cuffs), a large matching collar with a small blue jewel inside a gold crest on it. He has a belt with another gold crest and a small blue jewel design on the buckle, purple striped dark-pink trousers, and dark-purple shoes. Unlike his female counterpart, he also has visible pink eyebrows. Also, when his eyes, enlarge, they are purple. Kind of like how when Fionna's eyes enlarge they look exactly the same, only hers are blue. He also has ears, unlike his female counterpart. His loyal companion is Lord Monochromicorn.
Fionna—is a 13-year-old adventurer and Cake's adoptive sister. While usually appearing as black dots, her eyes are seen as blue when enlarged. She wears a rabbit-themed hat (similar to Finn's bear-themed hat) with exposed locks of blonde hair. Unlike Finn, her neck is shown. Her outfit includes a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and knee-high socks with two thin horizontal stripes at the top. Fionna is heavier set than. She has a green backpack (similar to Finn's) and Mary Jane shoes. Her name was officially changed from "Fiona" to "Fionna," presumably to make it more similar to Finn's name. The pronunciation, however, has remained unchanged. Like Finn and his crush on Princess Bubblegum, it is revealed in many portraits posted that Fionna has a crush on Prince Gumball. Fionna has buck teeth like a rabbit. Fionna, like Finn, is Cake's adoptive sister.
Cake—Fionna's best friend/adoptive sister and Mo-Chro's girlfriend. She doesn't look much like Jake aside from their body proportions. She has white eyes in which the black pupils become circular if surprised, excited, shocked, or scared. She has a cat muzzle and a small nose (compared to Jake's), cat ears, white fur with many coffee colored spots, and a large bushy tail. Cake may know Morse code in order to speak to Lord Monochromicorn, similar to how Jake knows Korean in order to speak to Lady Rainicorn. Cake plays a hammered dulcimer, as opposed to a viola. Her tail "frizzes out" if it is agitated or worried. As a Lumpy Space 'cat', she is a light color of maroon with large spots of fuchsia to match her coffee-colored spots. Her tail is now lumpy and more beaver-tail-like.
Steven Strong-a character who appears in the episode of the same name. He is a large, tall man with extremely thick muscles. He has tan skin and dirty blond, messy hair. He wears a indigo garmet (made of fur) and a hat shaped like a dog's, with a tail to match.
STEVEN STRONG
Title Card
Fionna and Cake look into the inky darkness. The darkness looks back.
"And this is the sight."
Fionna and Cake looked all around them. Trees were scattered everywhere, thick as cars and as tall as towers. There were about a dozen, total. The sky was cloudless and the sun was bright.
"My great aunt Bubbleglum was going to build a farm here." Prince Gumball said. Instead of his usual attire, he was now wearing a pastel blue button-up shirt, a pink jacket, darker pink jeans, and pale yellow sneakers. A yellow carry-on bag hung at his side.
"Because he was trying to protect himself from the evil surrounding this place." Fionna nodded. "Right, Prince Gumball?"
"Nah, she was trying to breed illegal insect species here." Prince Gumball smiled warmly. "Hey, I bet you have loads of cool stories about your human relatives."
Fionna's smile faltered. "Um, no, actually...I've never even met any other humans." she paused. "If I think abuot it too much, I crunk out and get all...creeeepy..."
Prince Gumball's face tinged pink(er). "I've made things awkward...well, anyways, I brought you both here because I need you to get rid of all these trees so I can build a memorial here."
"Alright..." Fionna murmured halfheartedly. "I guess..."
"It'll be fun!" Cake assured her, and shrunk herself into the size of a baseball, flinging herself into Fionna's hand. "Throw the Cakenade!"
Fionna tugged the feline's tail and tossed her towards a large tree. Cake wedged into its roots and blew up in side, sending the tree flying.
Fionna burst into laughter.
Prince Gumball smirked. "I'm glad you're cool about being the only hu-" he frowned. "I mean, uh...well, nevermind. I'm gonna sceedattle. No hard feelings." With that, the prince walked away.
"Again, Fifi!" Cake said as she shrunk down and set herself in Fionna's hand again.
Fionna smiled, tugged Cake's tail, and hurled her at a thick tree about ten feet away.
CLUNK!
"Owwww!" Cake grew to normal size, rubbing her hand in pain. She turned to her sister. "I don't think this is a tree."
Fionna ran over and helped her sister up before turning to the tree. It looks smoother than a tree should. Reaching out, she realized all the indentions and lines in the tree were painted. Stepping back a bit, she could make out the outline of a square. "I think there's a door here."
"A door, huh?" Cake stepped past Fionna and felt the tree for a minute before finding the opening of the door. She pulled it open, with the door creaking loudly. The two girls could see stairs leading downwards before they disappeared behind a wall, into inky darkness.
Fionna turned to her sister, smiling softly. "Let's check this joint out."
"You think we should?" Fionna asked, unsure. "There could be any-"
"Onward, sister!" Cake flung herself down the stairs, not tripping or hesitating. Cat vision.
"Cupcake, wait-!" Fionna stopped as she looked at the wall in front of the stairs. She could make out a stamped message, covered in dust. She could make out two words, big black letters.
Fionna's eyebrows furrowed as she read the words. " 'Oh dang?' "
After staring for a few more moments, she shrugged it off and stumbled into the darkness. "Wait up, Cupcake!"
As the girl disappeared into the darkness, a gust of wind blew in through the door. The dust on the message blew away, revealing the full message:
BIOHAZARD DANGER
After minutes of stumbling, tripping, and falling down the light-less stairs, Fionna and Cake smacked into another door. A metal one. Fionna found a handle, pulled it, and flung the door open in a puff of dust.
"S'dark, huh?" Fionna said, and felt around for her backpack. Reaching in, she pulled out a large flashlight, turning it on. A beam of light came out, so bright in the darkness that they squinted for a moment.
They gasped.
"An ancient civilization!" Fionna cried. They were in an underground cavern, with busted, broken buildings that stretched twenty feet above. Piles of ash and debris were scattered around randomly. Water dripped from the ceilings, and the slightest sounds echoed off the walls.
Fionna and Cake began to walk, crunching on garbage and pebbles. They climbed over piles of debris and garbage, heading deeper and deeper into the ruins of the lost civilization. As they leaped down from the top of a particularly large pile, Cake's muzzle scrunched up. "This place is a dump."
"Hey, be nice," Fionna said. The flashlight flickered, and she tapped it to get it cleared up.
"Why? It's obvious no one lives here," retorted Cake. "Can you imagine the gross weirdos that musta lived here?"
They heard the sound of garbage moving behind them, clunking and rustling. Then, there was a gruff "rargh?"
Fionna and Cake turned around.
Two bright green eyes stared at them.
Fionna and Cake screamed.
And so did the creature before them.
Fionna and Cake stumbled back. They hit a pile of garbage, and a landslide of it came down. There were grunts. Turning around, they saw two pairs of eyes, one blue and one brown, staring at them.
More eyes began to appear all around. There were six now. "They're everywhere!" Fionna cried.
They began to ran, but they were blocked off by about ten more pairs of eyes. They cried out as the pairs of eyes closed in on them. They didn't look hungry or angry, but curious.
Fionna thought fast. Looking down at her flashlight, she raised it and waved it around. There were cries of pain and fear. The eyes disappeared, and so did their owners. Fionna was panting.
The two girls heard a rustle behind them. They turned around, and Fionna raised the flashlight.
He was tall, much taller than Fionna. He was burly, too, like a boulder. He wore an indigo hat with dog-like ears, and dirty blond hair peeked out in messy tufts. A single indigo garment made of fur covered his body, and a dog-like tail was attached from the back. He was frozen like a deer in headlights, his big green eyes huge and his mouth somewhere between a smile and a frown.
After a moment, his eyes darted to his left, as if something had caught his eye. He turned around, and his shadow moved with him. He cried out in a deep, terrified voice. "SHADEHO!"
Gasps of fear rang out around the two girls, but they couldn't see their owners.
Fionna raised the flashlight upward, so as not to frighten the terrified male. He calmed down, but only a fraction. "Ah ma gah nass! Eh ga-a hei uily!"
His head darted back and forth, and he dove behind an abandoned tank. His bright green eyes looked out at them with fear.
"These peeps are terrified!" Fionna told her sister, staring back at the hidden being. "They can't even stand looking at their shadows!"
"We could rule them," Cake smiled, "Like goddesses." She said the next part under her breath. "Angry goddesses."
Fionna took a small step towards the tank, setting the flashlight down on the ground. "Hey, it's OK," she said, like she did when she was talking to scared animals. "We won't hurt you. You can come out."
His eyes turned from fearful to curious. He poked his head out a little bit.
"Yeah, it's alright," Fionna smiled.
Slowly, he stepped out from behind the tank. Very, very slowly, he stepped towards the two girls.
Fionna got a better look at him.
Round, green eyes. A nose a bit bigger than hers. A mouth in a curious frown. Blonde eyebrows inquired in fascination.
"Your hat..." Fionna's hand brushed against the floppy ears. "Your face..." she stared into his bright green eyes. "Y-you...YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME!"
At the sudden outburst, the male cried out in fear. Around her, Fionna her screams and gasps, and the shuffles of feet. The other beings in the lost civilization had been walking closer, but now they were running away.
Did they look like her too?
"Hold up, Fifi!" Cake said just as Fionna was about to call them back. "They're startled. You gotta be gentle with wild animals."
"I don't think they're wild animals," Fionna said as she looked at the bright green eyes who had taken cover behind the tank once again, "I think this could be a trive of...of HUMANS!"
There were more gasps.
The male behind the tank murmured to himself, "Hyuuuumaaaanssss..."
But Fionna couldn't hold in her excitement. She began to dance in place, like a boxer. "ARE ALL OF YOU HUMANS?!" she practically screamed. "What are they doing down here?" she asked Cake in a blur.
Cake, who was kinda scared of excited!Fionna, paused. "I dunno. They probably don't know where else to go?"
Fionna turned to the bright green eyes. "Hey! Don't you want to get out of here? I can take you outside to see the world! The sun and the stars and the-"
The male stepped out a bit. "St..."
Fionna smiled. "Sssssuuuuun. Ssssssstaaaaaarrrrssss."
"Staaaeeeaaaannnn..." the male said slowly.
Fionna's eyes sparkled as she approached the male. "You poor things."
The other 'Hyumans' murmured to each other in a gibberish language.
"Cupcake," Fionna whispered to her sister, "We've gotta help these guys. They're my people, and it's my sworn duty to show them the real world." Fionna smiled and turned to the male behind her. "Starting with you. What's your name?"
"Staaaeeeehaaaaaaan..."
Fionna cocked her head to the side. "Steven?"
The male smiled, pleased at the word.
"Well, let's bring him up!"
Cake stepped behind 'Steven.' She them formed herself into a comfortable-looking, roller-coaster-cart-like seat for them both.
"The surface awaits, m'lord." Fionna patted the space next to her in the seat. Steven awkwardly sat next to her.
With that, the two girls disappeared into the stairs once more.
"You're gonna love it up here, Steven," Fionna said as Cake stepped back through the doorway. Steven hissed at the pain the harsh sun brought to his eyes, but he opened them again moments later. He looked up at the sky. "Suhhn?"
"Yeah, there are a lot of wonder on the topside." Fionna beamed at the burly male before her.
Steven set his feet on the ground, the grass tickling his feet. He cried out. "Wha iz diz stau oh de grou?"
"Steven..." frowned Fionna, "It's just grass. It won't hurt you."
Steven, however, was freaking out. He jumped on Cake's back, which cracked loudly. Cake cried out in pain. "AUGH! MAH BACK!"
"It's alright." Fionna said, and waved her arms around in the grass, letting it tickle her skin. "It's just grass."
Steven stepped down from Cake's back (which was nearly broken) and touched the grass with his fingers. Than his arms. Then his legs. His breathing got quicker and deeper.
Then he collapsed flat on his face.
Cake stepped over to them. "You killed him."
Fionna gawked. "Wai-WHAT?!"
"Yep." Cake nodded. "Exposed to new surface germs."
Suddenly, Steven's body began to roll away through the grass.
Cake chuckled. "I'mma jus' kiddin'."
Steven continued to roll around in the grass madly, laughing like a madman. Cake furrowed her forehead. "He's just lovin' on that grass."
When Steven stood, his face and clothes were covered in grass stains. "Ah lav de grah ah har!"
"Ah, Steven," Fionna sighed and took out a napkin from her backpack and rubbed it on Steven's green face, "You got grassblood all over ya."
Steven cried out, backing away from the napkin. "AUGH! GAH DE MOHA AWE FO MA!"
Fionna frowned, her eyes narrowing. "Steven. A napkin WILL NOT hurt you."
"Ool." Steven took the napkin and slowly rubbed it against his face and clothes.
Fionna groaned and turned to Cake. "Cupcake, how'm I gonna show Steven all the wonders of Aaa if every little things terrifies them?"
Cake wiggled her paws at her. "Paaaay-chooonce. Stevie just needs time to acclimate to the 'Aaa-Climate.' "
Fionna sighed to herself. "Very well. I shall introduce Steven to Aaa...BY ANGSTROM!"
CUMULATIVE TIME!
And so the introducing began. As they walked down the hill, a large butterfly fluttered over to them. Steven cried out in fear. "HEI EI HA MAOR!"
Fionna smiled. "It can't hurt you. It's a music butterfly."
As the butterfly continued to flutter, a melody came from its wings. Fionna and Cake began to dance. Steven stared at them, perplexed. Then, smiling, he began to awkwardly move.
Fionna beamed. "Yeah!"
Afterwards, Cake stretched them to the top of Mt. Minimal. As they stood on the flat top, Steven cried out, pointing at a small rock. "WHA EH DA?"
"It's just a rock." Cake flicked the rock away. "Can't do nothin'."
Steven paused and turned to a ten-foot-tall boulder behind him. "Juh a rak." He raised a fist and punched the bouler. It exploded into millions of pieces.
That evening, they sat around a campfire, resting after a day's journey. Along with a bag of marshmallows, they also brought graham crackers and chocolate bars. Cake was playing a relaxing melody on her dulcimer.
As Fionna opened the bag of marshmallows, a rustling in the bushes was heard. Steven turned to them, and a small rabbit hopped out.
Steven gasped and hit behind his tree stump.
Fionna frowned. "What's wrong?" she caught sight of the rabbit, and smirked. "It's alright. She just wants to wrestle."
Fionna pounced on the rabbit. The rabbit smirked and put her in a headlock. Fionna flung her off and jumped on her once more, wrapped her arms around its middle.
Steven watched, smiling as Fionna and the rabbit 'wrehild.' As he watched, he gasped.
A large bear was crawling towards the still-wrestling Fionna and rabbit. It was very obviously hungry, and Fionna and the rabbit were just the right meal. The bear raised itself on its hind legs, raising its claws and opening its jaw.
Steven smiled and pounced on the bear. It clawed at him, growling, but Steven grabbed it around its middle and flung it backwards, over his head. Fionna had noticed the bear by now, but knew that Steven had it covered. After a while of wrestling the animals, they stopped at the same time, laughing.
They shooed the animals away and sat back down at the campfire. Cake continued to play her dulcimer, apparently never noticing their absence.
As Cake played, Steven began to sing to the melody. Well, not really sing, but he made melodic noises that went along with the musical notes.
Fionna smiled, and Cake, knowing what was going to happen next, changed the tune of the song.
"Steven Strong,
This is where you belong,
Hangin' with me,
On dead trees.
Don't you think you deserve this?
To live up here on the surface?
I think you do,
And I think all your friends do, too!
How long have you lived in the darkness?
I just want to show you the light!
Because you're a human, just like me, Steven,
And I want you in my life.
Steven Strong,
You turn my heart on!"
After the song, Fionna picked up two sticks, stuck on marshmallows, and handed one to Steven. Fionna stuck her stick into the flames. "How's yours, Cupcake?"
Cake lifted up her marshmallow, which looked like solid gold. "As golden as a happy life." As she picked up two graham crackers and a square of chocolate, she asked, "How's yours?"
Fionna lifted up her marshmallow, which was on fire. She blew out the flames peeled off the black skin, popping it into her mouth, leaving the marshmallow soft and gooey. As she picked up two graham crackers and some chocolate, she replied, "Perfect. How's yours, Steven?"
Steven looked down at his stick-and-marshmallow, and threw both of them into the fire. "Iz des righ?"
Fionna and Cake sighed, smiling.
"So cute," Cake said, holding up a perfect s'more. "Here ya go."
Cake stretched her arm over to Steven and popped the s'more into his mouth. As Steven chewed p the graham, chocolate, and marshmallow, his eyes grew to saucers, glittering like stars. "I LAUV DIS STUF!" Steven reached over, and grabbed the graham cracker and chocolate. He reached into each bag, getting two handfuls of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"He is banaynays about candy," Cake observed.
"We should take him to the Candy Kingdom!" Fionna exclaimed, and bounded over to Steven. "Come on, Steven. EVERYTHING is candy there!"
Steven cocked his head to the side, holding up his chocolate-marshmallow-and-graham covered hands. "Candy Kingdom bup?"
"Ya hear that?" Fionna giggled excitedly. "I taught him that!"
Cake, however, was frowning. "Y'know, he may be...TOO excited about candy."
Fionna shook her head. "Nah, he's just empowered."
"CAAAAANDY KINGDOOOOOM!"
"I've enjoyed your visit very much, Steven Strong. I do hope to meet your friends soon." Prince Gumball smiled. The two males nodded to each other, and the prince disappeared back into his palace.
"This is going better than I thought it would!" Fionna exclaimed.
"Fiohna."
Fionna turned to Steven, who was frowning in worry. "Yeah, Steve?"
"Wher iz all da candy yoo were talki abot?"
"Oh, it's everywhere." Fionna smiled. She gestured to a gingerbread house. "The buildings." She pointed at a cotton candy tree. "The plants." She waved over to Peppermint Maid. "Even the people!"
"We're all deliciously edible here!" Peppermint Maid exclaimed.
Steven began to hyperventilate. Before Fionna could ask what was wrong, Steven picked up Peppermint Maid and began to suck on her head. "CANDYYYYY!"
"STEVEN!" Fionna grabbed Peppermint Maid. "STE-VEN!" Fionna pulled the terrified maid free, holding her behind her back. "You can't eat the ones that talk! They're like us!" Fionna set down Peppermint Maid, who ran away, trembling in fear.
"Aoh..." Steven bowed his head in shame.
Fionna patted him on the arm. "It's alright. You're learning. Here." Fionna reached over to a potted plant and plucked off a bright red flower. "Have a lolliflower instead."
Steven popped the flower into his mouth. Like before, his eyes glittered madly.
Fionna's eyes glittered back.
Steven beamed. "Now I gonna get all o friends and we eat all o Candy Kingdom."
A record could almost be heard scratching.
"WH-NO NO NO!" Fionna shook her head like a madwoman.
"Oh, nono!" Steven shook his hands. "We nuh eat red-stripe girl. Only everyone else."
Fionna gawked.
"Bye!" With that, Steven Strong ran out of the Candy Kingdom to gather the other Hyumans.
"Steven!" Fionna ran to the chocolate gates of the kingdom, waving her arms after the male Hyuman. "STEVEN! NO!" But it was no use. Just as she reached the end of the caramel-moat, Steven disappeared into the distance.
"What do we do now?" Cake asked as she stretched over. "Fight them to the death when they attack?"
"No." Fionna shook her head. "They're my peoples. I can't turn my back on them, no matter how serious the situation is. We have to save the Candy Kingdom WITHOUT hurting them."
"WHAT?" Prince Gumball's terrified voice screamed. He had changed from his earlier clothes to a blue suit with puffy sleeves and blue slippers.
"Don't worry!" Fionna assured the scared royal. "We have a plan! All we need to do is scare them away! They're afraid of everything!"
Prince Gumball's face was grim. "Very well. I shall gather the citizens in the courtyard. And then the Hyumans shall see how terrifying we can be!" As if to make a point, Prince Gumball growled at the girls, but ended up laughing.
Fionna and Cake plastered on smiles. Cake's tail twitched. "We're dead."
Steven punched the door of the tree off its hinges. He stepped out, took out a horn-made-horn, and blew it loudly. The other Hyumans followed after him. They were dressed similarly to him, with dresses and garments and hats all made of animal fur. They 'oohed' in curiosity at the new surroundings. As they stepped out onto the grass, they began to scream.
"AUGH!" "GREE BLAIDES!" "LIHHLE MOERS!"
Steven Strong turned to his people. "Fear nah muh friends! 'Just grass'!"
Celid, an Hyuman with a polar-bear hat, looked down at the green carpet beneath him. "Juh grah..."
The others murmured in curiosity.
"These Candy Weapons are too adorable to be scary." Cake held up the weapon in her hand, a war-hammer made of licorice, decorated with gumballs.
"Good news, Fionna!" Prince Gumball said as he approached the two girls in the Weaponry. "I managed to make all of our citizens and the kingdom itself horrifying!"
"But-how?" Fionna asked in shock, dropping the gummy malice in her hands.
Prince Gumball led them back into the courtyard.
Licorice hung from the trees, quivering in the wind. Chocolate coffins littered the ground, decorated with sprinkles. Bones made of peppermint smiled at them. The Candy citizens were dressed as werewolves, zombies, vampires, witches, ghosts, and so on.
It didn't look scary in the slightest.
"I dressed the kingdom and its citizens in terrifying costumes!"
"Starchie's a banshee." Starchie, dressed in a tattered grey dress and wig, exclaimed. "Ahhhhh."
"So adorable!" exclaimed Cake. "I just wanna give THEM candy!"
Fionna didn't have time to remind her sister that that would be cannibalism. At that exact moment, the sound of a horn rang out from the distance. Fionna span around to a blue gumdrop boy. "Quick! Show me your scary!"
The blue gumdrop boy growled.
Cake frowned. "That won't scare anybody."
"NO DUH!" cried Fionna. "HE-wait..." Fionna stared down at the cauldron in the gumdrop boy's hand, pouring smoke everywhere. "Prince Gumball, we're gonna need a million more of these things."
The Hyumans approached the Candy Kingdom under the full moon's light. Fionna turned to the citizens. "Everyone to their positions!"
The Hyumans walked through the gates.
'Fog' was everywhere. Figures moved in the trees. Silhouettes of skeletons shuffled until they disappeared. Snarls and growls came from the darkness. Howls of wind blew in their ears.
The Hyumans were whimpering, trembling, screaming, and crying in fear. "Moers!" "Leh leev!" "Eh hoo anerous!"
"Eh can'te hurt aus!" Steven told them. "'Just shadows!'"
"Oh, no!" gasped Fionna. "They've learned how to learn! Hide yourselves, citizens! I'll try to make Steven see reason!"
The Candy citizens, hiding behind trees and barrels and bushes, ran into the castle, via doors, secret passageways, and windows.
Cake, who was inside the castle, looked outside. "I think we need more fog." She stepped outside from the window silently and dashed over to a large bush. She pushes its leaves aside, showing a huge, Prince-Gumball-made cooler, the size of a car. She lifted the lid up, revealing dry ice filled to the brim. She picked up a special shovel, grabbed the cooler, formed a holder with her tail, and carefully picked it up, silently stretching over to the cauldrons.
Inside, a group of chocolate bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows were staring out from the windows.
"The S'more Squad never backs down from a stand-off!" A graham cracker cried. "C'mon, guys! Let's show these guys who they're messin' with!"
The group of sweets ran out of the castle.
At that exact moment, Cake tripped over a broken tree limb, and the cooler went flying, covering the S'more Squad in dry ice and darkness.
"Hyumans!" Fionna ran out close enough for the Hyumans to see her. "The Candy citizens and I are no harm to you! So please do-"
Suddenly, the S'more Squad pounced. All of them were steaming, with whisps of white floating around them. They ran at the Hyumans, snarling and clawing. They pounced onto the Hyuman's heads.
All of the Hyumans screamed in horror. Steven tried to calm them, but to no avail. They were terrified beyond console. "OUR HAAAS!"
"MY PEOPLE!" Fionna screamed.
Celid ripped off his smoking hat...
...revealing a head made of squid tentacles.
Fionna froze. "Wha..."
Another Hyuman ripped of her hat. Her scalp was covered in jellyfish stingers.
One by one, they all ripped off their hats, revealing tentacles, fins, flippers, and tails.
"...They're not human..."
The 'Hyumans' ran away from the Candy Kingdom in fear. Fionna's eyes darted left to right until they settled on a familiar pair of green eyes. "Steven..."
Steven froze in his tracks and glanced behind his shoulder at her. Looking back at his people for a moment, he turned around to face her.
"Steven..." Fionna whispered, "What are you?"
Steven stared at Fionna with wide eyes, curiosity replaced with apology.
Then, he ran.
Fionna stared after him, her eyes glittering in confusion.
Fionna turned around and saw the S'more Squad sputtering for air. "Are you guys ok?"
"We'll be fine if we stick together." a chocolate square said. "Later, Fionna." The four chocolate squares, two graham crackers, and three marshmallows stuck together, forming a giant s'more, and ran away.
Fionna watched them walk away, and turned to look back at where Steven had disappeared.
"Fifi!" Cake's pawsteps ran up to her. "Fifi! We did i-" Cake paused when she saw her sister's state. "Uh...are you ok?"
Fionna didn't look at her sister. "Cupcake, do you think he was human, or just another...whatever?"
"We're all whatevers, sister." Cupcake said, staring into the distance.
Fionna paused before stooping down and pulling out a chunk of caramel from beneath her. "Yeah, I guess we are." She took a bite of caramel. "...Sister."
