When we got back to Aaa, Ice Queen stood trial for the hundredth or so time, and we rescued Marshall. But you are going to ask who I chose in the end. I mean, didn't those kisses mean anything? One was so passionate, it melted the Ice King's entire dungeon! :P

But others (I am guessing they're Team Edward and therefore obsessed with vampires, vampire-human romances, and sparkles) would say, what about Marshall? First of all, he doesn't sparkle. Do you think I would be in this position if he did? Second, that's what I'm trying to figure out!

I stayed in the treehouse for about a week or two, being visited all day by Gumball, and all night by Marshall. Argh! Why is love so confusing? I eventually chose to ask the Ice Queen for advice. I have no idea why. Well, except that which ever one she pressured me to pick wasn't going to be the one I ended up with. She obviously knew which one was better for me, and which one was better in general. She was surprisingly cordial. This is how it went:

Me: Ice Queen, can you help me?

Ice Queen: Aah! Oh, it's you, Fionna. Why on Earth should I help you?

Me: It's about boys.

IQ: Ah. Come inside.

(Inside)

Me: So which one should I pick?

Ice Queen: (sips tea) I don't know, dear. But I think you should pick Gumball. You both are well suited to each other. I've always been quite jealous. I don't even like that vampire boy anyway. To much rock and roll music required in his upkeep.

Me: Um... wait, did you just call me dear?

Ice Queen: Yes, I suppose I did. I don't want a man, I want a daughter.

Me: ...... (so she kidnaps way younger princes?)

Ice Queen: Oh yes. And sometimes, I think of you as my daughter. I want nothing but the best for you.

Me: ...............

Ice Queen: So that is why you should leave that vampire boy and marry Gumball. I want grandchildren.

Me: ...... (How did she manage to make it even more awkward?!) you do realize I'm only fifteen, right?

Ice Queen: Of course. But when two people love each other as much as you and Gumball do, you should spend every waking minute with each other. Except when you're visiting me.

Me: ....... -_-'

Ice Queen: I enjoy these little chats. Now, off you go. Back to your treehouse.

Me: Wait, what? (Ice wind picks me up, deposits me in my room)

Cake: Fionna! Are you okay? Are thought I heard something come in! Was it that demon?!

Me: No. It was me. I just got back from visiting the Ice Queen. It was really, really awkward.

Yeah. It really was. Cake didn't believe me, and kept looking for Marshall, who obviously wasn't there. But, thanks to the Ice Queen, I ended up doing something that never would have occured to me otherwise. I ended up sitting down with both the boys. After the silent glaring and then the obnoxious yelling, I finally reasoned with them.

I told them why they were both there. Marshall hadn't heard this before, so he tried being cocky. I wrote that down. Gumball tried reciting a sonnet. I wrote that down as well. At last, I finally said, "The Ice Queen gave me a bit of advice." They both stared at me. "Ice Queen?" They said in unison. I nodded, and wrote that down too.

"She's a psycho! Did you know that she locked me up with intent to marry me while you were gone?!" protested Marshall. Gumball sneered at him. "Oh, she knew. But she was all over me." Marshall looked ready to punch him. "Hey. Hey! I said we should come right back, and you were all over me." I said, pointing my pencil at him. Marshall seemed slightly mollified. "Right, but it was your idea that got us out of that dungeon." Gumball said.

I blushed, and Marshall noticed. "What idea?" he barked. I bit my lip. "She told me to kiss her!" Smirked Gumball. I glared at him. "I said no such thing. And anyway, Marshall, you were never in any danger. She dislikes rock and roll too much." Marshall narrowed his eyes at Gumball. "What actually happened in the Ice King's dungeon?" I told him what had happened, exactly.

Marshall glared at Gumball. Gumball glared right back. "And by the way, you've both been haunting my house." I sighed. This sparked another furious argument between them. When at last they settled down, I got up, told them I would look over my notes to see which one I would probably end up with, and left.

It took forever to analyse them (Cake was no help, but the Ice Queen was, so yeah. How messed up is your life?) but at last I reached my descision. I called everybody back to that same room, and said, "I don't think i'm ready for this yet. I honestly can't choose, because you both bring out a different side in me. So, I'm not going to date for a while." Honestly, it was the easiest thing I had ever done. It was turning out like that horrible fan fiction the Ice King wrote, except I am (still) no where near insane enough to fall in love with him. :)
