Stealing A Burning Heart (Book 1)

Followthrough

It had been three weeks since we were all banished from the Fire Kingdom, Flame Prince, Gumball and I were on our way to make good on our deal with Marshall.

"They're going to hate us Bishop." Gumball said

I looked at him and scoffed a bit.

"I'm used to them hating me by now man. Let's just get this over with." I said

Flame Prince brought his guitar along with him. I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling that we're going to need it later.

"So, what was with that song that Marshall gave you earlier?" Flame Prince asked

I looked down at the piece of paper, then back to Flame Prince.

"This is a song that Marshall wanted us to sing to Fionna in case of them not believing us when we say that Marshall sent us." I said

They both took a moment to consider how much of a good idea that was. The reality of the situation being that since this was Marshall's song that it would keep Fionna from killing me. Finally we reached the tree house. I knocked on the door, and was greeted with a death glare.

"What do you guys want?" Fionna asked

We all looked back at each other with unsure looks on our faces. They forced me to speak to them.

"Look, we were wondering if you'd like to join the band that we're in?" I asked

As I asked her a disgusted look came across her face. She honestly looked like she wanted to break my neck.

"I'm not interested in doing anything with you!" she screamed

I got angry and yelled back at her.

" We're not the ones asking you to join!" I yelled

She turned around red in the face.

"Then who is asking!?" she screamed

"Marshall!" I yelled

This seemed to get the point across to her. She was calmed down immediately, and brushed her hair out of her face.

"Prove it. Show me that he sent you. He's always had a song with him that he always sings to me. If he sent you, then sing to me that song." Fionna demanded

I smiled and nodded my head.

" Okay, one moment please." I said

Flame Prince started to play out the notes on his guitar. I smoothed out my voice and began to sing.

One, two, three

Oh, yeah yeah yeah

I think I'm in love with you

[Verse 1]

Didn't have to run, I knew it was love from a mile away

But I had to catch you, been running through my mind all day baby

'They all say I'm crazy, cause anybody even when your father say

That I can't be with you, I don't hear what they say

[Hook]

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

So what you're from the other side of the tracks,

so what the world don't think we match

I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what?

I'm in love with that girl

And she told me, that she's in love with me

[Verse 2]

Now we didn't have to fall, but we fell in love to the bottom, babe

No one's there to catch us like when you fell from heaven that day, baby

People always staring, but I don't even care nothing about it, babe

'Cause since I saw your face, I've been staring just the same.

[Hook]

I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

So what you're from the other side of the tracks,

so what the world don't think we match

I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what?

I'm in love with that girl

And she told me, that she's in love with me

[Break]

My pretty lady

You'll always be my baby, baby, baby

It's so amazing

How you became my baby, baby, baby

My little daisy

Come here and let me rock you like a baby, baby, baby

Pretty lady

Don't you know, you'll always be my baby, baby, baby

[Bridge]

Now don't it seem like these days

That everybody's got something to say

But I don't pay attention to the talk baby

And I don't really care if they stop and stare

'Cause they see my number one

My number one girl

I told you I'm in love with that girl

[Hook]

I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

I'm in love with that girl, oh, no, no

So don't be mad at me

I don't care

So what you're from the other side of the tracks?

so what the world don't think we match?

I'll put it down like my love's on wax, guess what?

I'm in love with that girl

And she told me, that she's in love with me

[Outro]

I'm in love, yes, I'm in love with that girl

I don't care what people say, people say

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

As we finished the song, it was apparant that Fionna had been sold on us. She agreed to join the band with all of us.
