Night paints black in the sky where the sun once was over the land of Ooo, perfectly matching Fionna the human's mood. A piece of Prince Gumball's pink hair is held in one hand as the other is wiping her uncontrollable tears. Cake helplessly continues comforting her best friend, thinking of solutions to at least soothe the pain of Fi's broken heart. Nothing came to mind, and so, she can only say softly, "Please, Fi, please stop crying sweetie."

Her sniffles are her response as they filled the silent air...until someone crashed the party.

The guy would never make a silent entrance (only to scare Cake) and always found a way into the treehouse. His company is enjoyed depending who and what mood they were in, so far only Prince Gumball is an one of the people who hasn't cracked a smile when he arrived. His long black bangs sweep across his forehead and his green skin refelcts in the light as he broke his way in.

He bared his teeth, found his target, and got ready to po-"MARSHALL LEE NOT NOW!" screams Cake and slaps the bad boy with her claws out. "Can't you see something wrong in this situation?"

The bad boy sneered and folded his legs, he was too busy planning to scare Cake that he didn't notice Fionna sobbing in front of her. "Where's Fi?" Cake turns, "Oh...what happened? Did 'Gumwad' break this strong heroic girl's heart?"

"MARSHALL LEE!" hisses Cake and Fionna begins sobbing louder.

Embarrassment shown on Marshall Lee's face and thought to himself So you really are a girl Fionna. He floats down next to her and places a hand on her head, "Hey, hey, don't be sad Fi."

He is dumbfounded in what to say, but an idea comes to mind, "Say, stop crying for a second and I'll tell you something we can do to cheer you up!"

She looks up with red eyes and tries her hardest to hold in the sob trying to escape her throat. "W-W-What?"

"Remember the first time you met me and I told you I messed 'round in the Fire Kingdom?" Cake's ears perked up. "Why not go mess around there with me, you and Cake?"

"We'll burn alive if we step on the ground you fool!" exaggerates Cake while stretching and waving her arms in the air.

"I know, dangerous right?" he laughs in a low, cheerful voice that always contained some sort of mischief in it. "Ah, don't worry, I'll find a way, tomorrow when the sun goes down, 'kay Fi?"

The girl squeezes the pink blob she held, looked down at it and then loosened her grip. "Yeah...I think I'd like that," she forced a tiny smile.

"Great," he begins to make his exit, "Cheer up Fi, Gumball ain't the only guy to like. Hell, he's hardly a man anywa-" he pauses when he met eyes with her glare. "You can like me," he smirks and she looks away. Defeated, he takes his leave by swooping down to nip at Cake and then laughing away.

"He may be right Fi..." says Cake after regaining her breath. "Maybe this is what you need, a little adventure right?"

"Y-Yeah..." Fi responds hesitantly, places down the wad and pulls her knees. "This...is what I need."

...

Marshall Lee didn't need to make an entrance for his arrival is known. The sun's streaks stretched over the luscious green grass of Ooo and made its way to Fionna and Cake's treehouse before disappearing. Warmth trickled on Fionna's cheek and faded away quickly even though she wanted to bathe in it more. However, when the warmth of the sun is replaced with the cool wind of night it is the exact time for Marshall Lee to show up.

"The Vampire King has arrived," he cooly greets. Cake rolls her eyes and Fi makes an effort to grin.

"You're here, but how would we get there?" asks Cake while raising an eyebrow.

He holds out a metal pan with mitts and light flickered on the edges of it. Fi and Cake peeked in, "Flare?" (a.k.a. "Flambo")

The small fire lion takes a peek out of the pan and attempts to spit a tiny ball of fire at Marshall Lee. "Hey! My girls! This hottie sweet-talked me, but rudely snatched me up, isn't that rude?!"

Fi glares at the vampire who awkwardly smiled, "Hey, hey, she'll be the way into the Fire Kingdom, I had a reason to do what I did."

"You guys goin' to the Fire Kingdom? For what?!"

Fionna smiles, "Adventure!" She decided to put her worries behind her today, and enjoy time with her two best friends. Seeing that she has Cake and Marshall Lee silently grin to themselves, knowing it was a good idea.

"But, how you going to get us in?" asks Cake.

"Like this!" Flare mumbles a chant under her breath as ancient letters that are unable to be read by the human and cat appear. Suddenly, Cake and Fi were painted a light blue.

"All right, you guys are prepared," he pushes the pan to make Flare jump out. Fi immediately reached out to capture her, she flinches, waiting for a third-degree burn to ruin her skin, but no pain came.

She gasps, "Wow! Flame shield, cool!"

"I wanna touch her, I wanna touch her!" Cake carefully places her paw on Flare's head. "Ooh! Marshall, you don't need it?"

"I'll get it when we're near the entrance, let's take my shortcut while the night is young."
