Alone

Chapter 1

Meeting Sally Hershey

Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake. I do own the story/plot line because I made that all up with me, myself and I.

"Oh, Fionna dear. I'm so glad you could make it on such short notice." Prince Gumball beamed walking to me arms wide open in a welcoming manner.

I smiled back at him and Marshall Lee was mimicking him from behind his back. I bit my lip trying not to laugh. Gumball hugged me and I hugged back.

"Oh, no problem, PG. You said it was important, so I came as quickly as I could. Besides Cake doesn't mind doing the dishes and laundry by herself." I said smiling.

I'm actually really glad he called, it got me out of cleaning.

We pulled from the hug, "Ah, yes today is cleaning day for you guys isn't it. Do you want to head back and help, I am sure we can reschedule." PG said putting his hand on his chin tapping his nose in thought.

Marshall did the same but he was way to dramatic about it, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I saw the playful gleam in Marshall's eyes and the smirk forming.

"Fionna, what in Glob's name are you laughing about?" PG said getting a deeper shade of pink of embarrassment, he turned and saw Marshall behind him.

He frowned at the sight of him, "Oh of course, I should have guessed. Hello Marshall Lee Abadeer." PG said smirking.

Marshall hissed at him for saying Marshall's his full name.

I stopped laughing, "So, PG, what is the important thing that you just had to have me do?"

I asked, Marshall came and floated on his back by me. PG's expression lighted at the sound of my voice and was back to his cherry self.

"Right, how would you like to be in the Candy Chronicle. It's the Candy Kingdom's newspaper. The editor down there wants you to be the front page news." he explained grinning.

I got confused and shocked, "They want to do a story on me?" I asked.

PG nodded, "Yes, they want a story about the Heroine of Aaa." he said excited.

Marshall rolled his eyes, "Why?" I asked.

PG shrugged, "Why not?" he asked back.

Well I can't argue there. "Well, um... I... uh... I guess I could." I said unassuring but apparently Gumball didn't notice, instead he smiled wider.

"So you'll do it?" he asked excited.

I shrugged, "Yeah, I guess." I said.

"Oh, delightful." PG said clasping his hands together.

"Come along, Fionna." PG said walking towards the lounge room.

"Oh, come along, Fionna. Come follow me around like a lost little pet, wouldn't want you to get lost now." Marshall said mimicking Gumball.

I scowled and play shoved him."Oh, stop it, Marsh." I said.

"Why? I just know your dying to laugh." he said smirking and getting in my face floating upside down.

I blushed a little at our closeness, I shook my head and sighed.

"Come on, let's go before he summons the banana guards to come look for me." I said walking away. Marshall sighed but followed me anyway.

"Peppermint Maid, could you please call Sally Hershey, tell her to come right away to interview Fionna." PG said to the little treat.

"Right away, sire." then she scurried off.

I sat down on the plush pink couch, Marshall plopped on the same one swinging his legs over mine. I glare at him and he sticks his tongue out at me, I roll my eyes and lean back in the couch.

PG turns around and immediately, "Marshall Lee, do you have to use Fionna as a foot rest." he said exasperated.

"Technically Pinky, I'm using her as a leg rest. And she doesn't mind." he said.

PG turned to me, "Is he right, Fionna. Do you not mind him using you in such a manner?" he asked.

I crossed my arms over my chest and shrugged, "No. Not really, well kinda. But I know he won't move so I really don't care." I said.

"See, she doesn't care, Gaybutt." Marshall mocked.

Gumball got red in anger, "Marshall, be nice." I said whining, pouting and poking his legs.

He smirked at me and chucked, "No promises, Fi." he said.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. He got that playful gleam in his eyes and I know he's thinking of something.

"Marshall Lee, don't you dare." I warned, but he did it anyway.

He hugged me around my shoulders and pulled me down to him, making my head rest on his chest.

"Marshall Lee!" I yelled in protest.

"Quiet, Fi. I want my cuddle bunny." he said like a 5 year old.

"I am not your cuddle bunny." I said in anger.

" 'Course you are, Fi." he said.

I sighed, "C'mon Marshall let me up." I said trying to push myself up off him but his grip is iron tight. I fall back down every time.

"Marsh, please." I said looking up at him in the eye.

He pulled me up on him more so our faces are practically on each other, "No." he whispered in my hear, I blushed, pouted and gave up. I sighed lying my head back down on his chest.

"Marshall really. Let the poor girl up." Gumball said from his chair drinking coffee.

"Nah, it's alright. This is actually kinda comfortable, I think I'm going to sleep." I said quietly, eyes closed.

I heard Marshall chuckle and I felt the movement in his stomach.

"Are you really falling asleep on me?" Marshall asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, I think I am. I have been pretty tired for weeks now but I haven't been able to fall asleep." I said.

"Why haven't you been able to sleep, Fionna?" Gumball asked concerned.

"Well adventuring keeps me up. And every time I'm almost asleep, I have a nightmare, that keeps me up. I guess you could say I'm afraid to fall asleep." I said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Fionna." Gumball said.

I shrugged, "It's alright. It's not your problem, it's mine." I said then yawned. Marshall held me tighter, I smiled.

I wrapped my arm around his waist, hugging him.

I giggled, "Hey, Marsh I didn't know you could be so, so... squishy. Your like a pillow, maybe a cloud. No, no a marshmallow. Marshall Lee the Marshmallow. What do ya think?" I ask, burring my head in his chest.

He chuckles,"I think your lucky I like you enough not to kill you for calling me a marshmallow." he said.

I giggled, "Of course you like me. I'm just a likable person." I said.

He and Gumball chuckled. It became quiet after that, Marshall started twisting a lock of my hair between his fingers, and Gumball has been pacing drinking cofffee waiting for Sally Hershey, she is the Candy Chronicle's newspaper editor, she's the one who will be interviewing me. And I have just been trying not to fall asleep, but that soon failed. It was the most peacefull sleep I've had in weeks.

Marshall Lee's P.O.V

"Hey, Pinky, stop your pacing. Your making me nervous." I said irritated.

He stopped and looked at me scowling then smiled when his eyes traveled to Fionna's sleeping form.

"She is so beautiful when she sleeps. Don't you agree Marshall Lee?" he asked kneeling down to her, looking at her with affection.

I scowled, "What are you getting at, Pinky?" I asked through gritted teeth.

He waved me off with his hand, "Oh, come now. Don't play dumb, Marshall Lee. We both know your in love with her, and we both know that so do I, but in a brother sister manner. You should not have made that crack about my sexual attraction, she doesn't know. And I'd like to keep it that way." He said in warning.

I smirked "You're right I shouldn't have but she'll find out sooner or later." I said.

He sighed, "I know, but not yet." he said, then he caressed her face, smiling at her.

I smacked his hand away, "Don't touch her." I said, PG scowled and rolled his eyes at me.

"Ahem, your majesty. Ms. Sally Hershey has arrived. She is awaiting you in the foyer." Peppermint Maid said.

"Ah, thank you kindly Peppermint Maid. Tell her I'll just be a moment." PG said.

The little peppermint nodded and scurried off.

He sighed, "Marshall please wake Fionna up." he said then walked out following after peppermint maid.

I looked down at Fionna's sleeping figure, I smiled then sighed. I shook her and she groaned, I chuckled.

"C'mon, Fi wake up." I said shaking her harder. She wouldn't wake up, I sighed. Then an idea popped in my head, I floated off the couch and stood up straight.

She just held on tighter, I smiled at this. I unwrapped her arms, which was hard because she wanted to hold me tighter every time I tried to remove them.

"I know I'm irresistible, Fi. But this is ridiculous." I said, she groaned.

I chuckled and dropped her. She landed with a thud on the hardware floor, she groaned and got up steadily rubbing her head. I smirked down at her.

End of Marshall Lee's P.O.V

"Ow!" I moaned out rubbing my head.

"Sorry, Fi. You wouldn't wake up, I had to think of something." Marshall said floating down to me, I frowned and stuck my tongue out at him.

He chuckled and messed up my hair, I pouted and fixed my hair the best I could without a brush. I don't wear my hat anymore, I got too old for it, so instead I wear a white bunny-eared head band. I'm 16 now, turning 17 in 2 months, I can't wait! I cut my hair, it's no longer dragging on the floor, it's now just past my shoulder blades. I stood up and fixed my shirt and skirt, running a hand through my hair then fluffing it back.

And fixing my bangs, I look to Marshall, "Good?" I ask.

"Yeah, considering you have bed head. Well more like Marshall's chest head, I think." he said.

I laughed and play shoved him. PG and a slim candy bar came in the room. She had dirty blonde hair, purple framed glasses, and wearing a black and purple business suit, holding a notebook and pen.

"Fionna, this is Ms. Sally Hershey. Sally Hershey this is Fionna." Gumball said introducing us.

I smiled at her and she smiled back, we shook hands, "It is so nice to finally meet you, Fionna Heroine of Aaa and the last human in existence." she said.

I winced mentally at being reminded that I'm the last of my kind but I try not to show it. "And it's nice to meet you Ms. Hershey." I said back.
