FIOLEE: Human Bunny


Ch. 4


Prepared by Cake to expect Gumball at the tree house, Fiona infused her tone with pleasant politeness and fake perkiness. "Gumball, I wasn't expecting you here." She managed a brief smile for him.

"Oh Glob Fiona, are you well?" He came close to touching her, but in the last second decided not too. "Do you need me to do anything for you?"

"Thanks Gumball, but I'm fine." She waved a hand in dismissal. "Everything is fine. Just normal heroine biz' you know."

"I was really worried that something...or someone." He added under his breath. "Had done something awful to you."

"I'm fine Ball, really. All I need is rest and then I'll be back to being my old monster killing self."

"Okay." He paused to look at her better. "I can stay and watch over you if you'd like."

"I really do appreciate that Gumball, but Cake is very good at watching over me."

"Yes Gumball, I'll watch over her like a Mama bear watches her cubs." Cake smiled comfortingly at Gumball while caressing Fiona's arm.

"Well I suppose if I am not needed here...I should probably head home." Gumball looked awkward and out of place.

"Should Cake take you home? It is pretty dark out there." Fiona called after Gumball who was heading to the door.

"No thank you, Fortnight(Morrow) is waiting for me outside." Sighing Gumball the door.

"Goodnight Prince Gumball." Both Fiona and Cake called.

"Till to morrow brave adventuresses." With a sad look at Fiona he closed the door behind him.

There was a bird cry outside and then a swooshing sound and Fiona was sure Fortnight had already taken Gumball.

Sighing Fiona headed toward a mirror where she could get survey her injuries. Her aching body was covered in cuts and bruises. But the biggest was the long gash on the side of her head. Removing her clothes her curvy body was full of cuts as well as covered in blue and purple instead of her usual milky coloring. She removed her bunny hat which was now covered in blood and her long blond hair fell down her back and legs, that too was matted and tangled with her blood.

Shower time!

Staying in the long hot shower loosened up her tensed muscles and helped her relax. But all good things must end and she started a very thorough shampoo session that made her wince a couple of times when she hit the tender cuts of her entire body. Soon she exited the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her body and the other towel drying her long hair.

Why had Marshal helped her and then tell her she was going to be his dinner? What had made him change his mind? She paused with the towel halfway down her hair to think of some kind of explanation.

"You seemed really rude to Gumball. What was that about? Fiona!"

Fiona jumped to focus on Cake. "I was?"

Cake looked at her incredulously, "You know our mama taught us better then that."

"I know, but i can't help it. After he rejected me...he wasn't all that polite Cake. So now i only see him," She sighed. "I only put up with him because I am a heroine and it is strictly business between the both of us."

"Baby, that doesn't call for rudeness no matter what." Cake scolded, but there was a hint of sympathy.

"I'm sorry Cake, I'll try to be good next time around. But if it weren't for the fact that i am a heroine and he is...the prince in distress. I would probably wouldn't bother with him." She sat on the her bed and pulled Cake onto her lap to pet her. "You know," She brought Cake to her face to rub her fur against her check. "I feel anger every time I see him. I still remember him telling me that i was just some dumb crush filled child that I was silly with my inclination towards him."

"I know baby. That was wrong of him to say, but you know how he is. He is all sci-ency and stuff he speaks what he thinks when you catch him in that state of mind. He didn't think of the harm in his actions."

Fiona rolled her eyes. "You are just trying to protect him Cake, but I've looked at it many different ways and no matter how many times I try to like him like I like all my friends...it doesn't make it hurt less. He made me feel inferior and stupid. Like I didn't measure up to his expectations." She rolled her eyes. "Like I didn't deserve his love."

"But I thought you had gotten over him. You started to date Flame Prince so I thought all your bad feelings toward Gumball were gone. You seemed to like Flame Prince a lot."

"Yeah I like him, but after getting my lips burned every time we tried to kiss," she touched her lips in memory. "We decided it wasn't worth it so we are still good friends."

Cake sat up on Fiona's lap and eyed her, "Sweetie, you're 19 you still have enough time to find someone special so you can be happy."

"I don't need anyone to be happy. I am happy here with you."

"So, do you still have feelings for Gumball other than anger?"

Fiona snorted, "No, it is all cool politeness with him. No feelings attached."

Cake licked her paw looking nonchalantly, "What about that Vampire king? He is good looking for one who is undead."

"He is Cake, but what of it?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to clear things up. I don't want you going near him. I don't trust Vampires."
