Adventure Time with Fionna and Marshall (Fiolee)

On the Other Side...

Fionna; other dimension (picture to illustrate what was explained in the chapter "Universes") :

The castle doors slam shut behind us after we are escorted outside so Gumball could concentrate on examining the new information of parallel universes; leaving Marshall, FP and I to wander around Candy Kingdom. 

"So what did you do for fun in the other universe?" Marshall breaks the silence, floating in front of FP and I.

I shrug, "I can’t imagine it being much different from here,"

"Hrumph," Marshall rolls his eyes, "I can barely get a solid answer out of you." he notes, "How can this whole situation not spark curiosity in you? How do you know our worlds are similar or not if you don’t ask and compare? FP, back me up on this," Marshall's eyes pleading sarcastically.

Flame Prince sighs, "He does have a point, Fionna; maybe to pass the time it would be interesting to really know what makes our universes so different. Come on, you can’t say you aren’t a little interested?" I don’t have time to answer before we settle down under a green cotton candy tree on the edge of town. "Come on, indulge us." FP insists as he sits back into the grass.

I take a deep breath, still reluctant, "Okay," I agree. "You can ask me questions and I’ll try to answer as best as I can."

Marshall and FP look at each other, as if in wonder of the opportunity. "Alright," FP starts, "Ice Queen. Did she ever get what she deserves in your universe?"

I clear my throat, 'here we go', "Um, she's actually Simone in my world."

I hear Marshall breathe in sharply; I turn to fully face him and see a look of utter shock in his expression.

"Who?" FP asks, reasonably confused by Marshall's reaction.

"Simone? SIMONE??? Wha- how? Fionna, how??" Marshall takes me by the shoulders, not letting my eye wander from his, "Fionna, please! How???" His eyes are begging and sad, but yet hope lying right under the surface.

My mouth just hangs open, too overwhelmed to get words past my lips. "Back off, Marshall, calm down." FP says as he separates Marshall from me, "Give her some room and explain to me what’s going on."

Marshall gives a rushed explanation, "Ice Queen was human before she was possessed by the tiara's power, her name was Simone, she basically raised me." then he turns his glance back to me, "How can she be Simone again?" his voice giving off some doubt that increases with each word.

I take a deep breath, think over the events and come up with "Marshall, your life was... endangered. I guess it snapped something in her and she was Simone. And to make it permanent, we found out how to destroy the Ice Gems, and now she's just Simone." I explain carefully.

Marshall seems to be calculating something in his head, or perhaps committing to memory my words. "I-I think we can move on now; I’ll just have a word with Gumball about this later..." he trails off slightly, deep in thought; leaving a silence under our tree.

"Maybe we should stay away from world shattering information from now on." FP suggests.

"What? Why?" Marshall jumps in, "Are you saying bringing back Simone is a bad thing?" he floats over FP's bod and pokes FP's chest accusingly.

FP shakes his head in defense, "No, it's just I’m not sure if this is almost cheating, getting outside information to alter our own reality."

A thought comes to my mind, "Even if it will make it better?" I add on.

Marshall turns to me and smiles, "What do you have in mind?" he asks curiously.

I consider FP's words but I decide that it must be said, "I suggest that you keep an eye on Peppermint Maid." I say with still a touch of vagueness. 

Marshall blinks with confusion, "'Peppermint Maid'? Who?"

"Gumball's maid." I state, I feel my eyebrows furrow in my own confusion. I look to FP but he just shrugs his shoulders.

"In all my time at the castle, I’ve never run into a 'Peppermint Maid'." Marshall explains, "I think she must only exist in your universe."

'Oh lucky us', I think to myself as I pick at the grass.

"I want to know more about me from your world." FP suggests, "So if I’m not dating you, who am I dating?"

I suck in my cheek, "Uh, you aren’t dating anyone at the moment that I know of..."

His face falls, "Oh,"

"Ha!" Marshall lets out a chuckle, "I mean, at least you aren’t dating me in the other universe; that would be awkward!" he sighs, "So, what about me? Has Gumball broken down and agreed to go out with me yet in this other universe?" Marshall asks, a crooked smile stuck on his lips.

'Oh here we go'. "Uh, no, you and Gumball aren’t going out in my world." I beat around the bush.

His face scrunches up, "Am I alone like FP? no offense," he adds on, turning to FP who's leaning back in the grass a few feet away. 

"No... you aren’t alone,"

"Well who is it then?" Marshall asks, getting slightly impatient.

I look into town, away from him, "Marshall Lee, in my universe, is my boyfriend, fiancé, even". When the only response I get is silence, I dare to steal a glace in his direction. His eyes are actually locked on me, seemingly out of shock. "Marshall?" I say, trying to coax a real response out of him.

FP clicks his tongue, "Well I think you broke him." he chuckles, "Don’t worry, he'll come around. In the mean time, I have more questions..."
