"You've slowly become my poison, but I like it that way." Marshall Lee sings dreamily. All the girls in the crowd are enchanted by his voice, especially this week's "Vampire Queen". Marshall smiles at the pretty girl but his eyes are drawn back to the cute bartender. She winks at him when she catches his eye and then quickly goes back to work.

"Rawrrr," Bella roars playfully as she passes Fionna. "Well, aren't you on fire tonight." She says.

"I have no idea what it is that you are talking about." Fionna gives her a deviant smile.

"Oh give it up! I know you're with Marshall now, just fess up and spill the beans, girl." She insists.

"Oh, look, a customer." Fionna avoids the subject as best as she can. Truth be told, when the boys had saved her from the Ice Queen she had fallen head over heels in love with Marshall. If he was willing to save her life then she was willing to give him a chance. Of course it's been two weeks since the incident had taken place but she wasn't able to tell the world about them because of all the customers. If they found out that the Vampire King was taken they would just give up on him completely and stop showing up at the Candy Kingdom, not that they had a chance with him anyways. Even though they could not be together in public, that didn't stop her from keeping her hands off him when they were in private.

"Hey!" The Vampire King comes up to the bar counter followed by the Vampire Queen of the week. "Give me one whatever that peppermint drink was and a Bite for me." He gives her his usual flirtatious smile.

"A bite where?" She asks innocently, the girl behind Marshall glares at her menacingly. Fionna laughs and makes them their drinks.

"Thanks," he slips her a five dollar bill along the counter. He walks back to the stage as she takes it and flips it over. Neatly written on the other side was a little note: "My room, tonight, after the show"

Fionna looks up to see Marshall rocking out on stage again. Their eyes meet up again and she looks away, blushing with heat.

Marshall turns on the light in his room only to find Fionna laying on his bed reading a magazine with her feet up on his desk.

"Hi you," Fionna puts down the magazine and stands to greet him. She was no longer wearing her rock star uniform but instead she was already in her pajamas: blue boxer shorts and a white t-shirt, "I've been waiting for you."

"Oh yeah?" Marshall stands in the door way, shaking off his legendary leather jacket, "Sorry I couldn't shake off the groupie, she insisted that a 'queen' has to sleep with the 'king' ha!" He still couldn't believe that Fionna and him were really together.

"Well it's your own fault for picking her as a queen silly." She giggles as she stands in front of him. She was shorter by at least a foot but that only made her cuter.

"You know you'll always be my one and only queen." She gives her his shockingly gorgeous smile and then grabs her by the waist and they stumble on top of his bed.

"Marshall, stop!" Fionna giggles madly as Marshall proceeds to tickle her. Her face blushes with a passionate heat. When Marshall sees this light coloring on her face he engages into kissing her on the ear. This only makes her blush darker. He looked at her angelic face and leans in closer to her.

He whispers into her ear, "Now I'll show you what a Vampire King does to his true Vampire Queen." Marshall starts nibbling on her ear, sending chills throughout her body. She turns her head to the side allowing him to kiss, and bite, her neck a little. Fionna moves around a bit making Marshall pin her arms to the bed down. He looks into her baby blue eyes with his green ones, without his red contacts his face looked softer and sweeter. He graced her nose with his own as she flutters her eyellashes and moves her face to the side so that he could no longer see her flush. Marshall turns her face to him with his index finger.

Knock, knock, knock! Gumball opens the door to Marshall's room without an invite. "Sorry to interrupt your..." he eyes the young couple on the bed, "private time, but I needed to remind you that tomorrow you have to go to court."

"Glob it, old man, you always have to spoil my fun." Marshall moves away from Fionna to sit on his desk chair. "Just jealous 'cuz you don't get as much action as I do."

"Why does he have to go to court for?" Fionna asks Gumball. She seems comfortable as she doesn't see the protruding bump in Gumball's pants.

"The affair with the 'Tree Fortress' has to be attended to. Simone was the owner of this place but they have sent her off to the crazy house, so Marshall is next to ownership."

"Yeah, which just means paperwork and getting up early in the morning." Marshall comments from his place in front of his computer. He sighs. Fionna gets up and walks over to where Marshall is at. She places her arms around him and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"I guess, I'll let you get to work then." She crosses the room, her hair catching wind and nearly caressing Gumball's cheek on the way out. "Night guys." She disappears into the next room.

"Still can't believe you're with such a nice girl." Gumball comments, still standing in Marshall's doorway.

"Yeah, well believe it," Marshall's typing madly at his screen. Gumball takes this as a hint and is taking his leave, "Oh, and Gumball" Marshall calls out.

"Yeah?" He turns around.

"Keep it in your pants." Marshall smirks and continues to type as Gumball's face changes into three shades of red.
