AN: Welcome to the first fanfic of this account, this was cowritten by me; Jawlessmonster and Xathina. Be kind! Leave a reveiw of some sort for us to have motivation to continue~ Thank yew!
This has Marshall Lee in it, and it's set about 200 years later from the show. Marsh is the same, duh immortal~ 3 he might be a bit OOC because of years.
Enjoy!
It was a very quiet night, a red headed girl slept soundly in her bed, covered by her warm purple blankets when a sound, a dreadfully annoying sound, at least at this hour, echoed through a small two story house.
"ADVENTURE TIME!"
"Ugh," the red head moaned. "May, It's the middle of the night! Go to sleep!"
May growled and ripped here sisters' oh so comfortable blankets off of her and said demonically, "I. SAID. AVENTURE TIME!"
The red head shot up with wide eyes.
"You up?" asked May with her arms crossed and her albino bat on the top of her head.
The red head's panda hat hissed, "Geeze," while the red head simply replied, "Yup."
And so it began.
"Come on Zi! Hurry up!" May yelled, quickly pacing foreword into the tall, lush grass of the forest. May wore her usual red shirt, black sweater, grey shorts that went just above her knees, black leggings and her favorite black boots that had a red tongue, all to match the red in her hair.
"May, slow down!" Zi whined.
"Yeah she's not that fast." Her panda hat remarked. "Ugh shut up Mark!" She muttered.
"Hey Zi, I'm gonna run ahead to find something interesting!" May called back to her as she bolted into the darkness of the trees. Zi sighed and slowed her pace catching her breath while she had a chance.
As May ran ahead, a rustle in a tree caught her eye. She jumped to a halt and started to climb the tree. She balanced herself between some branches and pushed leaves aside revealing blood red eyes. She leaned backed a bit and squinted, poking her finger at something until she touched something that felt like a face.
"Ow!" a deep male voice said.
Puzzled, she poked it again harder.
"Will you stop that?!"
"Oh you're alive!" A humanoid figure floated out. He had light blue skin, jet black messy hair that covered his eyes and wore a red plaid shirt, torn skinny blue jeans and red Convers.
"Well no technically I'm not."
She calmly put her finger to her chin. "How so?"
"How many species do you know float?"
"Well there's Lumpy Space Prince-"
"No! No, I'm a vampire! Marshall Lee, the Vampire King to be exact! And you should be scared for your life for disturbing me!"
She looked at him up and down skeptically.
"Really, where's your crown? You look like a hobo."
He hissed and bared his two sharp fangs and fork tongue.
"Well I'm bored," she said abruptly, "see ya."
And she jumped down the whole length of the tree landing unharmed and on two feet. At that moment, Zi walked out of the brush spotting her.
"Ah, there you are May! Find anything interesting?"
"I thought I did, but all I found was this floating stoner hobo vampire king."
A look of curiosity spread across Zi's face.
"Really, where?" She said looking up into the trees spotting him. "Huh, you're right. He does look like a hobo."
He hissed and quickly floated down and glared at each of the two girls.
"I am not a hobo! I told you I'm the Vampire King!"
Zi frowned. "Where's your crown?"
"Can't a vampire dress casually?!"
"No." Her hat replied flatly in a man's voice.
Marshall frowned. "Did your hat just talk?"
"Um yeah this is Mark." Zi mumbled nervously. He lifted up a flap and said casually, "Sup bro."
He blinked a few times, "Well you don't see that every day in Aaa."
May yawned loudly.
"Oh so now you're tired!" Zi said rolling her eyes.
"No! I'm just bored!" May declared. "Bo!" She called into the darkness. A tiny white bat about the size of a guinea pig fluttered down from the tree top and landed on May's expecting hand. "Come along Bo." She walked off looking for something of interest.
"Is she always like this?" Marshall asked Zi with a raised eyebrow.
"Always." She sighed. "It seems like I'm being forgotten again. Come along Mark."
"I don't have a choice." He groaned. Marshall followed them, knowing he had nothing better to do.
"So where did you get him?" Marshall asked casually. Zi blinked in confusion not believing he was talking to her, "Um well we got him from a witch."
"Really, which one?"
"Oh uh, I think her name was Ashley."
"What?!" he said in such gleeful shock it made her flinch. "How?!"
"Well uh, May beat her up." She mumbled quickly, "You know her?"
He scoffed, "I wish I didn't. Besides, how did you beat up a powerful witch?!"
"Oh it was May's plan."
"For what reason?"
"Mainly because she wanted a challenge or something, but also to get me… him." She sulked, gesturing to Mark.
"Hey! Don't refer to me like that!" he said angrily.
"What?! At least I didn't call you It!"
"Do not make me slap you!"
"Don't make me take you off!"
"Ginger please, you won't do lump squat!"
While they argued Marshall watched them with amusement. "Are you and that other girl human?" he asked suddenly.
"You mean me and my sister Maybell? Uh, yeah. Why?"
He shrugged. "We just don't get a lot of humans in Aaa. Where did you come from?"
"We just moved here like a week ago from like waaay far away in Lumpy Space. May wanted 'adventure.'"
Marshall laughed lightly. "Sounds like someone I used to know."
"What happened?"
"Eh, people come and go. Whatever."
It was quiet after that, until they felt a cold, swift breeze fly past them, followed by a large cloud and the annoying laugh of none other than the Ice Queen.
