Princess Diaries

"Come on, Marshall!"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No."
"I'm sure it's not that bad, dude."
"Ugh, fine! I can't believe I'm doing this..."

Fionna waited outside looking up at the tree fort she and Cake lived in. She was dressed in a make shift prince like uniform and a paper crown taped to her hat. The blonde girl cleared her throat and lifted her hand in the air toward the balcony, the other on her chest in a formal manner.

"I have come far and wide, riding on my noble steed..." she glanced over at Cake who's playing with a flower, a saddle on her back. "And I am here to save you from the confinements of your prison! So, please, won't you come out so we can wed?"

Fionna promptly got on one knee, and lifted her hands to the balcony. Marshall stepped out a moment later dressed in the frilliest dress Ooo probably had to offer with a scowl on his face. He looked down at her, jaw clenched. The blonde coughed into her fist and whispered/yelled up: "Say you're line!"

Marshall grumbled under his breath and crossed his arms. The blonde gave her best puppy dog eyed look. The vampire sighed, agitated, and uncrossed his arms. He mumbled his lines and Fionna cupped her ear. "I'm sorry, what was that princess? I'm afraid my hearing isn't as good as it used to be from adventuring so much."

The vampire shook in anger. Cake coughed and gave Marshall a stern look. Marshall let out an agitated growl. "Oh, fair prince, it's been so long since anyone has visited me in this tower. I've been locked up by an evil witch and am in need of saving. If you can save me, I promise you my hand in marriage and blah, blah, blah." Fionna grinned and all the vampire could do was spit on the wood flooring of the balcony in embarrassment that won a disapproving look from the magical cat.

The blonde girl ignored the vampire's behavior and a wide grin spread across her face. Sticking her sword in her mouth, Fionna began to climb the tree to the balcony, now and then making exaggerated movements as though she were about to fall. Finally, she reached the raven haired boy and pulled herself over the edge. She plopped down on the ground out of breath.

Marshall snickered and floated over to her, brown red sneakers touched the floor. "Out of breath there oh, noble prince? I thought you were tougher than that?" Fionna pouted up at him. "Quiet, you! I'm the prince! I do the saving! Just give me a moment..."

The vampire crossed his arms, a smug look on his face as he waited for the girl to catch her breath. Fionna stood up and used her sword as a cane "Woo! Now, where was I? Oh, yeah! I believe you owe me your hand in marriage, fair princess." Marshall grinned deviously and stuck his hand out to her in a  haughty gesture. "What can I say? You deserved it."

A crimson blush painted Fionna's face and it was her turn to scowl. Marshall cackled. The blonde punched him in the stomach and slung him over her shoulder when he bent down to grasp his abs. Teetering from his weight, Fionna marched forward and struggled over the edge. She leaned over to grasp the bark of the tree and the blonde lost her footing. A gasp of air escaped her lips as the two toppled to the ground.

Marshall grasped the Fionna and they floated the rest of the way safely. Fionna buried her head into his chest and clung to him like a cat who had just escaped the wrath of a bath.  Fionna felt a tap on her shoulder and she gazed up at a smirking Marshall.

"Some prince you are. Couldn't even properly save me, the fragile pansy of a princess." Marshall took a step back and mockingly spun around, curtsied and batted his eyes. Fionna couldn't be angry for long and burst out laughing at his moves.

Marshall brushed her hair out of her face. "Isn't this the part where you whisk me off into a sunset where we live happily ever after?" The blonde smiled shyly. "Yeah, but I hate to break it to you but you're a vampire." "Thanks for the diagnosis, doc." Marshall grinned.

Fionna gave him a pleased look. "So, instead of a sunset, would a starry sky do?" Marshall pretended to ponder this as he rubbed at his chin and scratching his head. "Eh, I guess. I don't have much of a choice, now, do I?" "Sadly, no." "Then let's get this show on the road." The two stared at each other for a brief moment as they searched one another's faces for any emotion they could fine.

"Well, let's get going!" Fionna turned to get on Cake, but Marshall spun her around and gave her a tender kiss. Fionna pulled away, her face grew  as pink as Gumballs' hair. "What? You were going to take off without giving me a proper kiss? What prince school did YOU attend?"

Fionna grinned and slipped her hand into his. She dragged him onto Cake who grew big enough for the two to sit on top of. "Hi YAH!" Cake buckled up with a loud "MREOW" and took off into the horizon where stars gleamed brighter than they had before.
