Fionna the Human sat awkwardly on the uncomfortable red couch at Marshall Lee's house. In her lap was a small hand held recorder. Marshall had told her to wait while he went to the bathroom.

Fionna had been waiting at least twenty minutes. This made her foot twitch up and down in anticipation for their jam session.

The human teen was about to call his name, but she heard his scream first.

She immediately jumped up from her seat and ran to the bathroom door.

"Marshall?"

Silence.

"Marshall Lee!" she yelled.

The door opened and Marshall looked at her blankly.

"Yeah?"

"I-I heard you scream! Like… I dunno, I thought a witch attacked you or something."

He scratched the back of his head, messing up his raven black hair further.

"Um… Bad apples. Now then!" he clapped his hands and silently winced at the movement. "Let's get jamming."

"Ok…" Fionna mumbled skeptically.

As they made their way back into Marshall's living room, Fionna noticed that he was walking instead of floating like he usualy did. She shrugged off this minor concern thinking that vampires can walk if they want.

Marshall picked up his axe-bass and started to absently pluck the low toned strings. Fionna sat on the floor with him to avoid the bone crushing couch.

"So… what kind of song are we doing Marsh?"

He looked up and said, "Uh, I dunno. I guess you just lay down a beat and ill improvise."

"Cool!" Fionna said as she turned on the recorder and started beat boxing.

Marshall strummed the bass, but when he tried to sing, he ended up going into a coughing fit.

Fionna stopped and looked at him with concern.

The vampire cleared his throat and gave her a fake smile. "I'm fine. Keep going."

"Hold on. Are you sick Marsh? I though vampires didn't get sick."

"Cause we don't. I don't. I happen to be immor-" in the minst of his gloating, he coughed again.

"Seriously, what's going on? First youre in the bathroom forever, and you scream bloody murder, now you're acting sick."

"I'm fine, this is just… vampire stuff."

Right after her said this, he sharply gasped in a lung full of air and held a hand to where his dead heart was. After the pain subsided, he looked at her, debating things in his head.

"Ok, well this is vampire stuff but… You need to leave. I didn't think it would get this bad."

"Marshall, what are you talking about?"
"Just get out of my house Fi! And don't come back for a while."

"No. Not until you tell me what's happening to you and you'll be-"

Marshall gasped and held his chest again. He then took the axe-bass strap off of him and put it on the floor next to him.

"Get out Fi. Now. I'll be fine, it's totally normal."

"MARSHALL LEE YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW!""FINE! Just stop yelling!"

He sighed and laid on his back with his hands next to his sides.

"This is just a part of a vampire's…" he gulped nervously. "puberty. I'm going to come back to life for Glob knows how long, and the process tends to hurt a lot, which is why you need to go so I can do this without…" he trailed off.

"Without?"

"Without seeing me scream bloody murder, losing a few teeth, vomit for a while and so on and so forth."

"Uh, wow Marsh. Now I am definitely staying."

"Fionna! It's embarrassing!"

"Well, so was the tampon incident when I first went through human lady puberty-"

"Oh Glob Fionna! We agreed never to speak of that! That was so gros-" Marshall's cheeks looked like two round balloons as he struggled to keep from throwing up on the floor. He quickly ran to the kitchen sink and trew up the color red.

Fionna wetted a paper towel and handed it to him. "Heh, you know… Your puke doesn't spell bad. Like cherry soda or something. Not like Cakes, hers is all smelly and fishy-"
Marshall covered her mouth and looked at desperately.

"Sorry." She smiled cutely. Then she noticed something about him. On his hands, he didn't have his usual claws. Instead there were perfectly normal (at least to her) fingernails.

He noticed this too and smirked. "Now when did that one happen?"

"Freaky dude."

"Gee thanks." He said sarcastically. "You can stay I guess… Just… you know… if you ever tell anyone, I will kill you and feed you to Peppermint Maid."

"Deal! And I knew there was something off about her!"
