Thousand years… later?
Look after finding out that Finn has had more than one life, this story makes a lot more sense. I have changed it a bit since it's an older story of mine. So I may mention the gender bend version of Shoko later in the story.
chapter 1:
The woman didn't make it. The husband was freaking out. The baby was crying. Doctor Prince came in, "I am so sorry for you losing you wife, your daughter will have to stay a little longer to get it used to a baby formula, you may go home. And again I am so sorry, sir." He said as he grabbed the baby from the man, and little did they know they were being watched from above.
The man walked out of the room as the person floated down from the ceiling.
'Fionna!' Marshal thought talking an old green back pack from off of his back, and pulled out a bunny hat. He quickly found Doctor Prince and said "Yo, doc. I have something for the kid." The doctor had turned and saw the hat. "OK you may give her the hat." He said calmly and then walked away with the baby with the bunny hat.
Marshal now had to wait until she was old enough to understand him and her. For now he just had to wait. He went home to practice his bass.
He just needed time to try and get used to the idea that she was back. She may or may not look the same. But he hoped that she would be OK with the idea that she's had another life.
11 years later: (Fionna's POV)
Fionna was doing a little house work with her adoptive, cat sister, Cake. "Fionna you know that you will have to pick something for you b-day, girl" Cake the cat said grabbing a small book off of the floor.
"Hmm, I thing I want to be and adventuress for my b-day, and that can be my presents for every birth day for the rest of my life, from mom and dad." she explained to the surprised cat.
"OK, I will see if I could talked that into mom and dad." The cat said finishing the small room they were cleaning.
"Well, good luck with that" Fionna joked knowing that it will take a lot of yelling, arguing, and tears to convince her overly protective parents to let her go.
She remember's the time that her parent's got made at her for going into the woods to follow a Will O' Wisp. It was so pretty. It was blue and almost feathery. It billowed even though there was no wind that day.
It called to her to follow it. She had smiled so widely that it almost hurt.
She had followed it to a big, old oak tree.
It gave her a sense of deja vu, but she knows that she had never seen it before in her life.
Carved on the tree was these initials:
MLA+FEM
She dreamed of those initials ever since.
(Marshals POV):
He sat on his red couch, and played his bass.
'She is almost 12,' he thought, 'It is almost time.' A time that he was regretting for a long time.
He floated up and put down his bass. He wanted to see her so bad, but it wasn't time. As soon as she got near the Candy Kingdom, he would find her and befriend her, again. Then when she was 16 he will tell her the day of her birth. That right after he gave the hat to her, how her father had hung himself, right in the same room that her mother died giving birth to her, and that he had actually cried that day.
And he thought that he might actually cry now. He shook the burning from his eye's. No, he wouldn't cry now. He worked to hard the last 11 years to perfect his attitude, and he wasn't going to mess it up now. Not even for her.
'Fiona Elisa Martin,' He thought of her old name. It was so different of her name now. 'Fionna the Human,' That's what she'll be known as today because her adoptive family didn't have a last name.
He picked his bass up again. He remembered her favorite song. It was by Maroon 5. He started into the song. He had the lyrics memorized.
'Here I am waiting
I'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come
We knew it all along
How did it come so fast?'
He sat there letting the music flow out of him through his mouth and fingers.
'This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip away'
He thought only of her. How she died. How she slipped away. How he failed to save her.
'And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close'
He knew that she was here know, but he wished that she's been here with him these past thousand years.
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'Here I am staring at your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down'
He had tears in his eyes by this point.
'This is way too hard, cause I know
When the sun comes up, I will leave
This is my last glance that will soon be memory'
The tears spilled over onto his favorite shirt.
'And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close'
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'I never want it to stop
Because I don't wanna start all over
Start all over
I was afraid of the dark
But now it's all that I want
All that I want, all that I want'
Everything about her past though his mind.
'And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close'
'And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close'
He was almost done with the song. The tears made it hard to sing.
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'
'Oh'
'Fionna,' His voice cracked as he said her name as if it was apart of the song.
A/N: I decided that after all these years that I needed to update this story, because it was short and poorly written. I hope that all the people who liked it before still like it.
