"Fionna! Fionna! Baby cakes wake up, we have a problem!" Cake was pawing at me to wake up.

"Gah . . . . Why so early, Cake? What's the problem?" I groggily propped myself up to hear what the stuff was going on.

"Gumball invited you to the Ball tonight and you have nothing to wear!" I looked at her as I tried to control my sleepless rage.

"It's . . . . It's not until six in the evening, Cake. Right now, it's only six in the morning! What in glob's name is wrong with you?"

"Sorry sugar, I'm just so excited! I heard a rumor that Lord M is going to ask me something very important tonight . . . everything just has to be perfect!"

"Well, the ball isn't going to begin for a couple of hours, besides; I'm going over to Marshall Lee's to play video games today." I could see a deep frown settle on her face.

"Hun, I thought he was living in the Night O' Sphere. Plus, he's not the greatest company to keep because HE'S A VAMPIRE. Now Gumball . . . he's the type of boyfriend you should go for." Heat rose to my cheeks.

"Cake! I'm not dating anyone! Marshall Lee just got back, and I haven't seen him for four years. He's my Bro! I can't date him. Now, I'm going back to sleep!" I grabbed my sleeping bag and sunk back in as more blood rushed to my face.

I heard Cake walk out, and I got up and quietly got ready to go visit Marshall Lee. It had been four years since I had seen him! While Cake and I were out keeping the land of Aaa safe from harm, he was visiting his mother in the Night O' Sphere on kingly business. He called me every once in a while, asking how his kitten, Shwabelle, was doing and telling me of his Adventures slaying monsters. He would also sing the latest songs he created on his bass over the phone. It was nice that he called, but I still missed my best bro.

A week ago he told me that he was coming home, and after furiously cleaning his house, I told him I would meet him today for a day of Deemo and Pixie punching. I couldn't contain my excitement as I ran to his house. I mean, I hadn't seen him since I was fourteen! I truthfully couldn't get to his cave fast enough.

I walked up on his porch breathing heavily, and rang the doorbell. After hearing stumbling inside, he opened the door and I threw myself into his arms.

"ATTACK HUG!" I screamed, and I tackled him down to the floor giggling all the way.

"Fi . . . Fionna?" I looked into his eyes and saw utter shock as he scrambled backwards, eventually coming to a stop to look me over again as if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"You look surprised." I sheepishly pulled my bunny ears down over my face to hide the red cheeks.

"I'm sorry if I scared you Marshall . . ." Suddenly he was close enough that I could hear his ragged breathing. His opaque eyes were fixed on me, twinkling as his thoughts danced behind his pupils. Suddenly he chuckled leaning back, with his familiar smirk playing across his lips.

"How could you scare me, Fi?" He gently brushed the hair away from my eyes and I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Anyways you've got to see what I've taught Shwabelle, it's totally algebraic!" He took my hand and led me to the living room, where the tension disappeared and it seemed like old times again.

What just happened between me and Marshall? I guess I could only imagine what he was really thinking because I can't tell exactly what I was feeling either. It's probably just the shock of being away so long . . . Right?
