The Lich's bony hand sizzles while lifting Flame Prince's head to look into her eyes and says, "Drink up." In a quick second a liquid is poured down; his throat felt as if she were making him swallow nails. Fionna retracts her sword and cuts off the Lich's hand. The vial that held the unknown liquid lands on the grass with ash marks where Flame Prince's lips touched.

"Flame Prince!" cries Flare.

Fi doesn't care when the Lich reconnects her hand for she rushed to Flame Prince's side. The poor Prince is holding his head, hurting, trembling…forgetting. "What was that?!" yells Fi, gritting her teeth. Cake and Lord Monochrome stand around the couple in case the Lich decided to throw a dirty attack.

"Let's just say I visited the Underworld before I got here…" responds the Lich while holding the empty vial, swinging it back and forth with her pointer and thumb.

Cake remembers with a gasp, "THE RIVER OF FORGETFULNESS!"

The Lich's smile approves Cake's outburst as Fi faces Flame Prince, whose head is down, hands holding his head. "…Flame Prince?" she bit her bottom lip, waiting for him to respond to his name. Gingerly, he starts to lift his head slowly, uncovers his face, with a confused look at everyone's faces. His gaze pauses on Fionna. "Flame Pri-?"

His pupils retract and instinct swept over him. As if everyone were gnarling rabid wolves with sharp fangs he pushes himself back with his flames to escape from being close. His eyes never parted Fionna's. He can see her eyes held sadness and disbelief as she can see his held confusion…and fear. A step forward fed his fear causing him to throw a fireball towards her. Cake grabbed Fi by the waist before the fireball hit the grass to turn it to ashes.

"Stand back!" he demands. "Who are you?!"

"I-I'm your girlfriend," quivers Fionna. She shouts louder for him to hear and to proclaim who she is, "I'm your girlfriend!" She is holding herself physically and emotionally as tears struggle to pour out of her eyes. She falls to her knees. "I'm…" she looks at the ground as a tear slips out.

Flame Prince stares at her with blushing cheeks, unable to respond to this statement from a girl he doesn't know, never met, at least that's what his mind is telling him. He then notices the necklace around his neck, holds the emblem and tries to figure out the markings.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" screams Flare.

He flicks his head up to see the Lich flying at him with open arms, ready to surround her black cape around him. He lifts his arm to push her away with flames, but is already surrounded in pure darkness. Fi and the others watch in horror as the black shroud vanishes into the night sky leaving nothing but a cold wind.

"Fionna…" Cake puts an arm around her sister.

Fi shrugs it off, stands up and swings her sword on her shoulder. With tears streaming down her face, furrowed eyebrows, and her bottom lip close to bleeding from biting she mutters, "Let's go Cake."

She starts walking to the direction where Flame Prince last stood. Cake jumps in front of her, "Where?! We have no idea where the Lich could have taken him or what she's planning!"

"I DON'T CARE!" Fi stabs her sword in the ground and tightens her grip around the handle. "I…" she quits biting her lip and wipes her tears, "It's my turn to save him."

(This is my shortest chapter...I bet and I'm sorry for that as well as not updating for a month. I've been caught between school and my lack of creativity whenever I thought of how the continuation would go. I stopped here because I like...dramatic...pauses. I would make a ch 21 A and 21 B, but since my bonus already messed up the order of my chapters I decided to make this short. It is getting close to the end, I warn you, but I might create a oneshot of Fi and FP getting it on in the more realistic world. I'm also making a short manga on that ;D all right sorry for more waiting guys, but thanks for reviews, favorites and sticking to dis story!)
