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.
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.
The Ice Queen—she is a mentally challenged woman with powers over ice. Although she was originally much more evil and aggressive than her male counterpart, she in the series, she is much more lame and dumb. Like the Ice King kidnaps princesses, she kidnaps princes. The Ice Queen has light blue skin, long white hair, and lightning-shaped eyebrows. Her hair, while also long like the Ice King's beard, is wavy with curls instead of shaggy. She wears a small gold tiara with red gems and a neck band (incrusted with a single blue gem in the center), a blue long sleeved ball gown, and light and dark blue shoes. Like how the Ice King's source of power is in his crown, Ice Queen's is based in her tiara. The Ice Queen's eyebrows are the equivalent of the Ice King's beard, allowing flight.
Grand Master Witch-the witch in charge of all rules and mandatories of the Witch Tournament. She will not allow anything but magic to be used in the Battle, and anyone who uses science or weapons cannot participate. If a contestant forfeits or otherwise tries to leave the Witch Battle, she transforms them into a dog. On that note it should be said that she loves dogs and dogs can be seen on and around her person at most times. She has a thick white coat that could be mistaken for actual fur despite the sleeves; it covers her whole body. She, at least, has yellowish skin on her arms. Her eyes resemble cut rubies, and she wears a thin silver tiara with a rod branching up that is set with a single red jewel at the peak. The top of her head has a different yellow-stained color that doesn't match her white robe, it looks like her head hair but could also be part of her tiara.
Abracadaniela-a witch wishing to compete in the Witch Tournament, only to resign to let herself be killed by another witch once she learns that the prize is a date with Prince Gumball rather than money. She agrees to help Fionna and Cake in the Tournament. Abracadaniela is a humanoid with a pear-shaped head and light pink skin. She has black hair that is kept in a bob. She wears a white robe and socks, as well as a rainbow headband and what appears to a small blue fannypack that sports a blue and green lightning bolt design on its rear. Her robe is a bit odd-looking; it is long-sleeved and forms circular bulbs at the top of her legs and shoulders. There are green spots at the bottom of the legs and the end of the socks. There is also a green circle on the chest area of the robe. She wields a small wand that forks at the end; it is brown and essentially looks like a leafy twig.
WITCH TOURNAMENT
Title Card
Fionna and Cake's eyes widen in fear as the witches descend upon them, raising their hands to defend themselves.
"The battle
For supremacy
Amongst masters of magic!
Witch Tournament!"
As Fionna skipped down the stone steps of the bleachers, several people sitting in the granite seats gave her looks of curiosity before returning to their conversations. Fionna looked around the Colosseum. It hadn't changed in the slightest in the last fifty years. The Colosseum was in the middle of a desert, so the second you stepped out the doors, all you saw were miles and miles of sand. A special spell kept the Colosseum inside a special bubble to keep it cool. A large black scoreboard was set up above the right exit, all of the scores stuck at '00.' Several gargantuan light stands were set up around the bleachers, brightly lit as it was still dark out. Rows and rows of granite seats surrounded the battle field, some missing and replaced with palm trees that had grown through the foundation. In the middle of the bleachers, in a seat the size of a whale to fit her size, was the Grand Master Witch. Giant and powerful, she was identifiable by her fur-coated white skin and eyes like cut rubies. A large tiara sat on top of her head with another ruby inside it.
"Cupcake!" Fionna called as she approached their front-row seats.
Cake was curled in her seat, snoozing soundly. Her snoozing ceased, showing she was awake, but continued to keep her eyes closed to pursue sleep once more.
Fionna crawled over the seats to lean into Cake's ear. "Witch Tournament is starting soon!"
Cake scoffed and shoved Fionna away. "I know. We got here seven hours early, ya donk. Just wake me up when they start selling peanuts."
Cake was about to go back to sleep when she spotted a candy-stripe bag of roasted peanuts right next to her. "Whoa, Nelly!" She took out a handful of peanuts and ate them in one bite. Fionna shook her head but smiled.
A trumpet sounded off through the Colosseum. Fionna gasped and sat upright in her seat. "The Witches are coming out!"
Three Witches walked through the entrance of the Colosseum, all of three Fionna recognized. One, the Jungle Witch that had once tried to kill her. The other two, Witches that she remembered from their Witch-Training with BUFETTE, in their deep red cloaks speckled with silvery stars to match their ranks, though neither had the large star in the center of their cloaks. All three of them knelt down before the Grand Master Witch.
Fionna whooped and cheered. Cake continued to eat her peanuts, but managed to shake a fist while she was at it.
"LADS AND GENTS," the Grand Master Witch's loud voice boomed throughout the bleachers.
Fionna hyperventilated a moment before she calmed herself down.
"I AM THE GRAND MASTER WITCH OF CEREMONIES!" the Grand Master Witch continued flamboyantly. As she spoke, a small dog appeared from one of her furry sleeves and began to walk around happily. "AND NOW, THE RULES! CONTESTANTS WILL FIGHT EACH OTHER WITH SPELLS FROM THE SEVEN SCHOOLS OF MAGIC!"
More and more Witches began to pour through the entrance of the the Colosseum. One of them, clad in a full white body-suit, goggles, and rubber gloves (Fionna paused. Was that Doctor Prince?) was carrying a microscope and a beaker filled with a greenish-yellow liquid.
"NO SCIENCE, SCIENCE WITCH!" the Grand Master Witch scolded.
'Science Witch' huffed and left the Colosseum, grumbling under his breath.
Another Witch entered the stadium, with a very peculiar appearance. Her skin was a grayish-blue color, with bright red fur around her chest and torso like a sort of mini-dress. Her triangular head was black with slitted yellow eyes. Two antlers poked out from her head, branching out in wicked blades.
"NO WEAPONS, WEAPON-HEAD!"
'Weapon-Head' huffed and walked out of the Colosseum grumpily.
"TO ENTER WITCH TOURNAMENT, YOU MUST BEEEEEEE...A WITCH!" the Grand Master Witch finished with a boom.
"Only Witches allowed, woo!" Fionna whooped as she took out her binoculars from her backpack and zoomed them in on the Witches down below. "Woo! Woo! Woooo-at?! Ice Queen?!"
Ice Queen smiled at the two girls, hovering several feet above the ground to see them over the barrier. She waved in greeting.
"Boooooo!" Cake said. She hadn't yet forgiven the queen for freezing her a few days prior.
"You're a contestant?" exclaimed Fionna.
"Mm-hm," Ice Queen nodded. With a beaming smile, she gasped and asked, "Did you really come all this way to watch me win?"
"Pshoo," Fionna huffed. Leaning against the barrier, she said, "You're gonna lose, girl."
"You're a loser," Cake agreed.
"Ha!" Ice Queen laughed loudly, causing several Witches and by-stander give her looks of momentary curiosity. Her eyebrows flapping energetically, Ice Queen said, "I'm not gonna lose! I gotta foolproof plan for winning!" She leaned in closer so that only the two girls could hear her. "I'm gonna cheat."
Ice Queen giggled excitedly then, completely oblivious to the look of icy anger Fionna was glaring her. The glare and giggle didn't last long, however. A dark shadow cast itself over the entire Colosseum, making every person there look up in question.
A large, pink blimp had appeared above the Colosseum. Hot pink in color, designed heavily with bright lavender lace and glimmering wisteria trimming, the blimp had a gigantic flat-screen slapped on its side, currently blank. You could just make out a waffle-cone basket at the bottom of the blimp, currently covered by a bright violet curtain.
"And now, Lads and Gents," the Grand Master Witch's voice continued. Witness the unveiling of this year's Grand Prize..."
The curtain lifted, and a figure stepped out into the sunlight.
"...A DATE WITH PRINCE GUMBALL!"
Prince Gumball waved kindly to the Witches and watchers below. There were several cheers of joy and excitement in answer. The prince's hair was in its usual state, with his small crown on top of his sort of 'quiff.' He was dressed in a lavender shirt with an orchid collar and puffed shoulders, with an orchid belt around his middle. Light fuchsia shorts accompanied it. The TV screen on the blimp turned to a picture of him bowing politely.
"FOR A FULL 24 HOURS!" the Grand Master Witch added.
The majority of the Witches down below howled with cheers of joy. However, those Witches who just so happened to be men groaned and yelled in protest. They obviously thought that this year's 'Grand Prize' was entirely unfair. A brain-headed Witch squinted her eyes and called out, "Can the date be out of the country?"
"NO!" the Grand Master Witch boomed.
"Then I choose to quit the Tournament!" the Witch yelled as she stabbed a thumb in the direction of the exit. Several other men and older Witches yelled in agreement and quickly followed.
"NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO EXIT WITCH TOURNAMENT!"
In the blink of an eye, a bright pink bolt of lightning hit all of those leaving. There was a crack of thunder, and in their places were several dogs, their colors identical to their former selves. All exits closed together in metal doors.
"THE DOORS ARE SHUT!"
There was a sort of whine throughout the Colosseum, and several jets of pale orange light shot up from all sides to form a giant dome in the air with a wave of the Grand Master Witch's hands.
"THE SKY BARRIER IS IN PLACE!"
A bird hit the barrier with a thud as she continued.
"ALL OF YOU WILL DATE THE PRINCE, OR DIE IN BATTLE!"
Ice Queen sighed in positive bliss. With a blush across her cheeks, she whispered, "Can't wait to get that princey date..." She fluttered away in a fit of giggles.
Fionna glared daggers at her, her face lightly dusted in a pink blush at the very thought of someone else dating the prince. If looks could kill, Ice Queen would be rotting in her grave. Fionna turned to her sister so fast it almost gave her whiplash. "Cupcake! We gotta enter Witch Tournament and stop the Ice Queen!"
"But we ain't Witches!" Cake tried to reason. "What about the sanctity and honor of Witch Tournament?"
Fionna turned her sneering face away and grumbled, "I'd rather sanctify PG's dignity..."
"Oooooooooooh~!" Cake sang in pure bliss. She prodded Fionna in her ribs, making her glare. "You don't care about the Ice Queen. You just wanna date Prince Gumball."
"No!" Fionna half-lied at once. "I wanna save the prince!"
"Mm-hmmmm. Yeah, you do."
"I do!"
"Yeah, you do."
"Oh, shut up," Fionna scoffed, then picked Cake up from her seat and ran with her in tow in the direction of the pile of discarded robes and garments beside the exit. She tossed Cake into it from the bleachers and quickly followed.
After several moments of dressing blindly, and constantly cutting themselves on the discarded weapons hidden inside the pile, the two girls stepped out. However, they decided to disguise themselves as one person. Fionna was now sitting on Cake's shoulders, her arms around Cake's neck so that Cake would serve as arms and legs. Cake's face was hidden and Fionna's was shown. They now had a mint green robe around them, covered in odd metallic buttons. Fionna had pulled a bright red hat over her bunny ears, as well as a bright yellow mask that covered the areas around her eyes. "Now, where's the Ice Queen?"
Fionna's eyes searched around the Colosseum ring. Witches were practicing their spells, filling the air with sparks, smoke, and explosions.
"There!" Cake's paw pointed.
Ice Queen was standing twenty yards away, not practicing whatsoever. She was more concerned about huffing into her palm and smelling her breath, obviously satisfied.
"We need a plan, girl," Fionna pulled her hands up to her hands to her hat and pulled the lining apart to look down at her sister.
Cake's head soon appeared from the darkness to smile at her. "OK. When the Witches start to go at each other, let's go hide behind that rock." She quickly pointed behind Fionna before darting out of sight, as to not draw suspicion.
Fionna looked behind her. Sure enough, there was a large slab of rock about ten yards away. It almost formed a cave, and it was a perfect place to hide.
"BY THE RAYS OF THE APPROACHING SUN," the Grand Master Witch's voice boomed over the Colosseum once more. Sure enough, the first golden rays of the sun were casting themselves over the Colosseum, making the sky half-gold, half-purple. "THE TOURNAMENT OF WITCHES HAS...BEGUN!"
A single ray hit the gem on her tiara, and a beam of red power shot out into the Colosseum and blasted at the feet of one of the star-robed Witches (WHOA! WAIT! THAT'S BUFETTE!). As she fell away on her feet, a thick cloud of dust lifted from the ground. Once beams of power and bright explosions erupted from the cloud, Fionna ran as fast as she could for the slab of rock.
Unfortunately, though, the cloud extended right in front of her path. Several times, she felt spells just brushing against her robe and skin, scorching hot and icy cold. Finally, the slab came into sight. Fionna jumped over it just as a fire-ball was about to take off her head.
Fionna scurried behind the rock and cautiously peeked around the corner. The cloud was lifting, but the spells and blasts continued for some time. Finally, all the spells and smoke disappeared.
Fionna's eyebrows furrowed. There wasn't a single Witch in sight. It was as if they had all vanished into thin air. One by one, the large lights shut off, as sunlight had finally lit up the environment well enough to go without them.
Cake stretched up her head to look at the scene. "Huh. Looks like everyone else had the same idea."
Sure enough, as Fionna looked closer, she saw the other Witches. Some had hidden well, disguising their specially-designed clothes to blend into the environment, such as other slabs of rock and hairy bushes. Others weren't so good. They hid behind tiny rocks and paper-thin bushes, and some were reduced to just crouching in corners.
"What are they waiting for?" Fionna asked.
"The Opposites."
"Wha-?!" Fionna span around in surprise.
From a dark corner in the rock slab, a figure crawled out, trembling with fear. It was a girl, and an odd-looking one at that. She looked humanoid, but also part different-species. Her skin was a light pink color, like a peach. Her head was bulbous, almost pear-shaped, with big, black eyes the size of quarters. A black bob of hair was slapped on top, with a rainbow-designed band around her bangs. A small blue fanny-pack was strapped to her side. She wore a robe like the other Witches, but it was very peculiar. It was white, with long sleeves, but the shoulders were bulbs, as well as the thighs. The bottom of the legs had green spots, with a matching one at her chest. She carried a twig in her hand, to top it all off.
"Witches with Opposite powers will take each other on first," the girl explained, trembling horribly. She was terrified out of her wits.
"Uh..." Fionna paused. "Are you a Witch?"
"Yes. My name is..." The girl took a deep breath and, in the most extravagant voice she could muster (not a very good one), breathed, "Abracadaniela!" She set her twig in her other palm and pulled it back. A stream of pink and gold sparkles followed. The twig was a wand, Fionna realized. But 'Abracadaniela' didn't seem to experienced. The spell she was using was practically useless, and she was straining so hard you'd think the wand weighed a million pounds. She eventually stopped, panting heavily.
"Hi, Abracadaniela," Fionna smiled. Cake waved an enlarged hand to accompany. "My name is...uh...Magic Paw."
Cake peeked out of Fionna's hat to look at Abracadaniela. She scoffed. "This gal looks like a wuss."
Abracadaniela gasped and jumped at the sight of the feline. "Who is THAT?"
"She's my...uh...Magic Tumor!" Fionna chuckled nervously as she stuffed Cake back down into the cloak with a sharp kick to her back.
"Well, she's right." Abracadaniela huffed and began to explain, "I only entered this contest because I thought the prize would be money. But it's just a stupid date!"
Fionna paused. "You mean...You don't care about dating PG?"
Abracadaniela stuck out her tongue with a disgusted grimace. "Ugh! No! If I were the winner, I would turn my head away-" She demonstrated by doing so. "-so that he would get the message. And then I would hold up my hands-" She held her hands up in front of her, as if to say 'stop'. "-and tell him I'm not interesting. Turn and stop. Turn and stop. Turn and stop..."
As she continued to turn and stop, Fionna looked down at Cake with a bright smile on her face. "This girl is great!"
"...and stop." Abracadaniela gave Fionna a tentative smile. "Well, I'm going to go back to my corner and wait for someone to kill me. It was nice knowing you."
She turned on her heel, only for Cake to stretch out a paw and catch her bulbous shoulder.
"Wait!" Fionna said. "Abracadanni, don't you worry about a thing. I'm gonna protect you."
Abracadaniela looked as if she had just jumped from a horrible nightmare into a wonderful dream. "You...You will?!"
"Sure. And I have a way you can help me save PG's dignity."
"Uh..." Abracadaniela paused, but shrugged. "OK."
"RAAAAH"!
The sudden war-cry made the two (well, technically three) girls jump in surprise. Cautiously, they turned to cautiously look out from behind the slab of rock to see what was happening.
Ice Queen and a sort of ram-like fire demon were circling each other with angry expressions on their features. Judging from the steam rising off of the demon's flames, Ice Queen had just tried to hit her with a blast of icy power.
"Opposites are fighting," Abracadaniela whispered.
"HYAH!"
If one were to blink (unlike Fionna) they would have missed it. Ice Queen reached into the fold of her gown and pulled out a steel club. She hit the demon in the cheek with it, making her stumble.
Fionna gasped in shock. "Cheating!"
Ice Queen gave the demon another hit hard against her temple. She crumpled to the ground in a flaming heap, completely knocked out. Ice Queen quickly hid the club and crossed her arms proudly, as if she had handled it all by herself.
"She's using a weapon!" Fionna whispered down to Cake, who had also been looking.
Cake was just as equally alarmed. "Why isn't the Grand Master Witch seeing this?"
They both looked up at the gargantuan witch in question. She was far too distracted with playing fetch with another one of her little dogs to pay even the slightest attention to anything going on around her, let alone the Ice Queen cheating.
"I gotta go stop her!" Fionna exclaimed, and moved forward to attack the Ice Queen.
At that exact moment, however, the the piece of earth she was standing on began to quake and crumble, a very angular crack appearing around her feet. Fionna jumped away as far as she could. The piece of earth rose into the air, hovering as dust cascaded onto the ground. Two big, pink triangular eyes appeared in the piece of earth, glaring at Fionna. Fionna and Abracadaniela screamed in surprise.
"EARTH WITCH!" Abracadaniela cried.
The Earth Witch raised her big, bulging, dusty arms with a loud war-cry. "COME TO ME, TECTONIC PLATES! ROCK WITCH COMPELS YOU!"
The ground began to quake viciously, up and down and left to right. Fionna let out an exclamation of surprise. With a deafening 'POP', a large boulder of earth shot up from the ground and hovered in the air. Several more 'POPs' and four other boulders joined it. They turned in Fionna's direction and began to shoot towards her like darts.
Abracadaniela gasped and pointed her twig of a wand at the Rock Witch. "Tin-fall!"
A cloud of sparkles flew out of her wand, swirling in the air until it circled itself around the Earth Witch's head. She hummed in confusion and her focus on the boulders fell.
Unfortunately, because they no longer had a target, the boulders fell back to the earth, dusty and heavy.
One landed right on Abracadaniela with a sickening crunch.
Fionna gasped in shock and horror as her new friend disappeared under the boulder's bulk. "NO!" she cried instinctively. Her horror was short-lived, as another boulder just about crushed herself. Cake dodged her out of the way with ease. The boulders continued to fall around her with loud bangs and splays of dirt. She caught sight of another flying at her from above. "Cupcake, seven o'clock!"
Cake's enlarged paw gave the incoming boulder a hard kick that shattered it to pieces.
"OK. Now to stop the Ice Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?!"
Fionna gawked as she turned to her left. Abracadaniela was standing beside her, looking as if she had been hit by a pebble rather than a boulder. She was very alive and very not-dead.
"My flesh has caoutchouc fibers in it," Abracadaniela explained, and pressed a hand to her collarbone. It sank in a good three inches before she let it back out. "That's how I adapt to my surroundings."
"Whoa!" Fionna gasped in wonder. Cake's enlarged paws grasped onto Abracadaniela's shoulders in a friendly grip. "That's mega-awesome!"
"HYAAAAAAH!"
Abracadaniela and Fionna/Cake turned around in surprise. Ice Queen was flying at them with her club held out threateningly, her lips open in a loud war-cry. However, before she could reach them, a male wizard in a hooded cape, gloves, and twigged antlers cut Ice Queen off with a darting run. Ice Queen skidded to a halt and turned to face the wizard with a snarl. He replied with a shot of silver power to her ankles. She yelped and ran out to take him on.
Fionna gave Abracadaniela a quick glance. "Stay close to me, Abracadaniela."
The two of them tore through the arena, dodging every threat that came to them. Blasts of power, gusts of wind, and fiery explosions threatened them many times before they were cut off in there trek. Just as one of BUFETTE's girls were about to attack them with fire-balls, an earthquake ripped open at her feet and sent her falling into its void. A pale yellow female jumped out of the new crack in the earth with a snarl.
Abracadaniela quickly waved her twig-wand at her. With a spurt of smoke, another cloud of sparks hit the female in the face. Her pale yellow skin went a sickly color of green.
The female gawked in disgust. "Wha-?! YOU TURNED ME GREEN, GIRL!"
Cake gave the female a sharp kick to the face. She fainted on impact and fell into her own void of earth.
The Grand Master Witch FINALLY looked up at the arena. Every single Witch and Wizard was now lying limp in the dust, some charred and some frozen, but all unable to continue the Tournament. Every except, however, Abracadaniela, Fionna/Cake, and the Ice Queen.
"THREE WITCHES REMAIN!" she bellowed loudly. "TIME TO GET FOR REAL! I WANNA SEE SOME CARAYZAY WITCH-BIZ NOW!"
The crowd cheered in delight. "WITCH-BIZ, WITCH-BIZ!" they chorused over and over. Ice Queen joined them, doing a little jig as she hummed, "Witch-biz...Witch-biz..." She sighed and her cheeks flushed pink. "I wonder where I'll take the Prince. Maybe a stroll on the beach...or a movie...something nice and private..."
Abracadaniela grimaced in disgust at the Ice Queen's daydreaming. Fionna jumped to her side and whispered, "Now you can help me!" She leaned in further to whisper the plan into her ear.
Ice Queen didn't like the whispering one bit. "Girls!" she called. "C'mon! I got a surprise for you's fools!"
Abracadaniela and Fionna parted, their footsteps wide and cautious. "Yeah, that's right..." Ice Queen whispered as they circled her. "Just a little closer..." Her fingers twitched at her opposite sleeve, already clutching the end of her club. "What's here up my sleeve?"
"WATCH OUT, ABRACADANIELA!" Fionna yelled.
Abracadaniela ducked just as the Ice Queen swung the club at her head. She darted left and right, making the Ice Queen's aim sloppy.
"You got this, Danni-girl!" Fionna cheered.
Abracadaniela swung her wand at the Ice Queen. A bright burst of sparkles shot out of the end and landed on the club in the ice-witch's fingers. The steel club morphed into a small ferret at once. Ice Queen cried out and dropped it in fright. It scurried away to the hairy shrubs scattered about. "MY CLUB! NO!"
"YES!" Abracadaniela cried with a panting laugh. She looked at her twig-wand as if it were the Holy Grail. "I...I did it! I really did it!" She hugged the twig to her heart lovingly. "I am a true Witch!"
Cake gave her a big-pawed thumbs-up as Fionna smiled.
Prince Gumball took in the sight from above with a very straight face.
Ice Queen raised her now-glowing fists with a shriek, glowering at the three girls. "I HAVE POWERS TOO, YOU BOOBS!" She took off into the air, far out of their reach. She raised her right fist into the air. With a waver, a spike-balled weapon of ice appeared in her grasp. "ICE MORNING STAR!" She raised her left arm in front of her. With another waver, a shape of ice formed on her forearm. "ICE SHIELD!" She darted down to Abracadaniela with a war cry.
Abracadaniela, panicked, darted her eyes from left to right. They finally found the ferret, hiding in a growth of bushes to the right. She pointed her wand at it and cried, "ABRACADANIELA!"
The ferret shot up into the air right above the Ice Queen and twisted back into a steel club that fell down.
Ice Queen was just giving Abracadaniela a look of confusion ("Huh? What did ya say?") when the club hit her head with a thud. At once, she hit the ground in a limp heap, her ice-weapons melting away.
The crowd cheered wildly, some jumping to their feet to show more enthusiasm. Fionna gave Abracadaniela a big, bright smile. "Good job, Danni! You're not a wuss anymore! You must feel really great now."
"I do!" Abracadaniela gasped out. Tears were glittering in her eyes now, threatening to spill over. They shined gold in the full sunlight of early morning. "I...feel...real...great...!" She said the last word with an odd sort of guttural growl, but Fionna shrugged it off as winner's hype.
Fionna nodded and said, "I'll forfeit now. I just wanted to stop the Ice Queen."
Cake popped up into Fionna's hat just long enough to say, "Nuh-uh" before darting back down.
Fionna turned to the crowd as Cake raised her paws high. "I FORFEIT! I FORFEIT THE TOURNAMENT!"
The crowd was just beginning to cheer when the Grand Master Witch hit Fionna with a ray of bright red power.
Fionna's face disappeared into her hat as it and the robe began to crumple in on itself. Soon, the hat and robe were nothing but limp garments in the dust. Cake, alarmed at the apparent disappearance of her sister, shrunk down to avoid suspicion whilst investigating. She crawled out of of the robe into the hat and gasped.
Fionna had been transformed into a small, white dog, yapping softly. As she began to scratch behind her ear, Cake let out a gasp of shock.
"ABRACADANIELA WINS!" the Grand Master Witch boomed. "YOU ARE THE GREATEST WITCH IN AAA!"
Abracadaniela snapped out of her Fionna-turned-into-a-dog stupor with a gasp. Chuckling nervously with a blush on her cheeks, she stuttered, "W-w-well, thank you, Grand Master Witch, miss. I suppose through this challenge, I have become a great Witch. I-I came here with no self-esteem and no chances." (Barely a fourth of the audience was actually listening now. Most were already leaving and others were checking their phones.) "A will-o-wisp of a girl. But now I'll walk out of this Colosseum as a woman!" Abracadaniela's soft, squeaky voice suddenly dropped a hundred octaves and rose fifty feet in volume. Cake jumped. She sounded like a monster. "A CONFIDENT WOMAN! WHO DESERVES A DATE WITH A PRINCE!"
Fionna, even in her dog-form, gasped loudly. She looked down at her paws and concentrated. Her furry arms suddenly turned fleshy, short claws turning to flexible fingers. She used them to grab onto the fur of her head. Despite the fact that it hurt like fire, she forced herself to rip the fur and skin open. Instead of the gore expected, however, two bunny-ears popped out, quickly followed by blue-green eyes ablaze with fury. As Fionna's face and other body parts began to push out of her dog body, Cake hurried to get back into position.
It all happened very quickly. Fionna's dog body shed away until her actual body was complete. Cake stood up at Fionna's command. Fionna shot up to Abracadaniela's face, and, glaring, shrieked:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Abracadaniela crumpled to the ground. You could hear the ringing in her own ears. Cake clamped her paws onto Fionna's mouth. Fionna herself had her eyes wide and her body rigid in her own shock.
There was silence as the crowd stared at Abracadaniela's limp body and Fionna/Cake's resurrected self.
The Grand Master Witch found her exploding voice once more, and boomed, "IT APPEARS YOU HAVE KNOCKED OUT ABRACADANIELA USING THE MOST SHAMEFUL OF ALL MAGIC: A SOUND SHRIEK."
Fionna's face turned red as the crowd filled with murmurs and gasps of shock, worry, and disappointment.
"BUT, SINCE YOU ARE THE LAST WITCH, YOU ARE THE WINNER OF WITCH TOURNAMENT!"
Fionna smiled to herself. The audience applauded tentatively, a few cheers scattered about. The Grand Master Witch stabbed a massive thumb in the direction of the locker-rooms. "Get ready for your date, champ."
Fionna sighed as she sat on the cold wooden bench of the locker-rooms. Even though this place hadn't been used for twelve months, it still smelled very heavily of sweat and dirt. The door was barely hanging on its hinges, and the 'LOCKER-ROOM' sign had been reduced to 'LKR OM.' The walls had crumbled away severely, exposing several patches of drywall and wires. Ventilation tubes had fallen through the ceiling to crash to the mossy tile floor. Some lockers were missing doors, others were just barely hanging onto their hinges. All of them were rusty and grimy and one set had toppled over to the next. There was a constant dripping sound, but Fionna had no idea where it can from.
Her robe shuffled. Fionna adjusted her legs to allow Cake to stretch out from the robe and stand before her, smiling. "Whoa-hoa, girl!"
Fionna let her legs stretch out for the first time in hours. It felt good, but her stomach continued to knot uncomfortably. "What?"
"I've never heard you scream like that before!" Despite the fact that Fionna's eyes had lidded and she was now holding her head in her hands, Cake continued. "You were all like, 'Nooooo! No one dates him but meeeee!'"
Fionna gave her sister a slight glare as she frowned heavily. She felt a spark of annoyance inside her that lit up a fire of anger. "YES, OK?! I WANNA DATE HIM, ALRIGHT? BIG SECRET OUT! OK, CAKE! ARE YOU HAPPY, CAKE?!" She hit her fist on the bench in her anger.
A single tear fell down Cake's muzzle and soaked into her fur.
Fionna saw and immediately felt extreme guilt. "Whoa, Cupcake, don't cry! I'm not really mad at you!"
Cake gave her a sad smile and wiped the tears in her eyes away, nodding.
Fionna sighed again and said, "I'm just really tired of keeping my feelings inside all the time, y'know? It's really exhausting."
"Then stop keeping them in!" Cake exclaimed with a bright smile. "You get out there and date it up!"
Fionna couldn't help it. She laughed. "Alright, alright."
Loud footsteps approached the mossy doors of the locker rooms. Fionna quickly jumped onto Cake's shoulders, pulling her limbs in and letting Cake replace them.
The Grand Master Witch's massive faced poked through the doors, knocking one down in the process. Her ruby eyes shined in the dim light of the locker-rooms as she asked, "You ready?"
"Yeah, I'm coming!"
Fionna walked out into the bright Colosseum a few minutes later.
It was certainly a sight to see. The sun was bright and gold overhead, the sky a clear, flawless blue. The Colosseum looked odd filled with a small number of non-fighting people. A line of people stood to Fionna's left. First was the Grand Master Witch, who towered fifty feet over Fionna, busying herself with a small dog on her hand. Beside her was a still-unconscious Ice Queen, her gown smeared with dust as if she had been dragged to her spot. Beside her was the fire demon she had defeated. Beside her, a headless Weapon-Head. BUFETTE next to her, and a stunned Abracadaniela after her. The massive blimp had landed down to the ground, casting most of them in its massive shadow. Prince Gumball stood on a small podium, with two Banana Guards on either side of him, two trumpets in hand. Fionna looked past him to the basket of the blimp, which was circled with plush seats and rose petals. Peppermint Maid stood in front of the prince, singing a song.
"Get ready for the Grand Prize!
Take his hand in yours
Never in your life would you dream of thi-i-is!
Never in your freaking life!"
Just as Fionna approached the prince, a knot in the pit of her stomach, a piece of earth stuck out at her feet. She just had enough time to estimate that it was one of the Earth Witch's late-blooming boulders before she hit the dust.
There was an audible gasp around her. She realized with with a horrible pang. Cake had tumbled out of her robe and was now sprawled out next to her. Along with the fact that her robe had opened up, showing her T-shirt and skirt, her mask had fallen to dangle by her cheek so that all of her face was visible.
Prince Gumball quickly recovered and asked, "What the crunk is going on?"
Fionna took a deep breath and said, in a rush, "The Ice Queen was cheating in the Tournament with a club, so Cupcake and I disguised ourselves as Witches to save you from dating him and...uh..." Fionna took in a deep breath and let it out in a groan. "...I dishonored Witch Tournament."
"Oh, Fionna," Prince Gumball sighed, but smile. "You did that for me?"
Prince Gumball stepped down from the podium and leaned downwards as Fionna sat up. It happened in a three seconds: Prince Gumball gave Fionna a kiss on the lips, Fionna's face flushed red, and the Prince pulled back. "That's for being sweet."
He then commenced to hit Fionna on the head with his fist.
"That's for cheating," Prince Gumball stood back up and put his hands on his hips, giving Fionna a stern look. "Fionna, you know better than to soil the sanctity of Witch Tournament! 'Witches Only', silly." Prince Gumball turned to the ever-confused line of people and announced, "ALRIGHT, EVERYONE! GO HOME! GET READY FOR NEXT YEAR!"
BUFETTE, Abracadaniela, Weapon-Head, and the fire demon grumbled in annoyance, but ambled towards the exit obediently. Ice Queen continued to lay forgotten in the dust.
Fionna smiled at Cake with a light laugh. "Oh, well."
"Good job," Cake gave her sister a light punch on the shoulder. "You got a kiss."
Fionna sighed. "My head hurts a little."
Cake chuckled and took the other side of Fionna's mask in her paw, tucking it back into place. "Don't worry. You look rad."
Fionna laughed. "Thanks." Fionna took off the mask with fast fingers and fastened it to Cake's furry head. "You try."
"Alright. Am I cool now?"
"So fly."
"How 'bout me?"
Fionna and Cake looked up. Ice Queen had regained consciousness and was now standing over them, a black, red-eyed mask around her face. They stared.
"Put me on the grid, scale from 1 to 10. 1 is totally ugly, 10 is 'Ice Queen, you look tots siack."
Fionna and Cake glared.
