Ok... This is my first shot at a story that doesn't suck, so... yeah. I just hope someone will enjoy this, and it's been how long since I've joined and not posted anything. I hope you will enjoy!

This chapter has been mildly edited. I just reworded a few things, so there is no need for old readers to read it again. Thanks!

As I floated through the forest, I started to wonder about life. I thought about what was important to me, WHO was important to me, and everything in between. Things like the simple joys in life like when I play music, or when I'm around my friends. My best friend in particular, Finn the Human. For some reason, I've always had fun around him. Glob, how I miss the good old days. We used to jam regularly, now I haven't seen him in months. Whenever I call their home, Jake says Finn's off with his "Lady Friend"; of whom he didn't tell me.

"I have the right to know...," I mumbled as I floated down the road, "He's my best friend for Glob's sake!" I was starting to get a little aggravated, But I kept it in.

Then I heard screaming in the distance, "That is the last time!" That girl seemed really angry. I also saw smoke in a clearing far away. I knew it was wrong, but I crept quite a bit closer to the scene.

"What do you mean?," replied a boy, his response was very faint. I remember his voice from somewhere...

"What do you mean? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?," this girl was just plain furious, "That is the last time we hurt each other!"

"But, Flame Princess, I can take it..."

"No buts! I can't take it anymore! We. Are. OVER!," the girl named "Flame Princess" screamed.

"Umm, this is just a fight, right?," said the boy in reply. Poor guy. he just got dumped with the scream method.

I was just about to walk home when someone zipped right in front of me. I was knocked over, we both where, but then I realized who the boy was.

Finn.

"Finn? Finn!," I yelled in disbelief, "What the heck happened to you!?" I was practically screaming. he had burns all over him and his face.

"Oh. Uh, hey Marcy... Heh heh. Didn't expect to see you here...," I knew he was hiding the fight from me.

"C'mon Hero, tell me what's wrong."

"Okay," he started. I feel like I was going to be here a while. "Well, I have been hanging with my lady friend, Flame Princess, a lot lately. She's made of fire, so we hurt each other easily. We've had fights even more now. We just had a big fight jut now, and for her it was 'the last straw'."

"That explains the burns on your face" I commented.

"Hey Finn, why don't ya' come over to my place for a change. Get each other caught up."

"Ok Marcy, I'll visit for a little." He still sounded depressed...

As we walked down the road to my house, Finn's mood didn't change. I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't reply. It was like he wanted to give up on life or something. We soon arrived at my house, and Finn was still quiet.

"So, weenie, what do you want to do?" I asked him in hope he would talk to me.

"I dunno. Sitting around maybe?" He replied. I was a little angry that he wasn't his normal self.

"C'mon, don't you wanna do something fun?" I gestured towards my bass, hoping he'd catch on.

But nope. "I don't know what you mean, Marceline".

"Ok, well, tell me what you wanna do when you're ready". I'll let him think. Maybe that will help.

Then, I floated above my couch, and I started to sing a song from before the war.

"Clocks marching at the double time,"

"every dollar has become a dime,"

"Hearts breaking at the speed of sound,"

"Falling down, all around."

"Bombs lighting up the eastern sky,"

"The backroom deals and the bottom lines."

"The Earth's shaking, but we don't know why,"

"A million fires, oceans rise."

"I leave it all when I feel you near-" I cut myself off when I heard Finn sit next to me.

I heard him say, "Don't stop singing". He had that look in his eyes that I couldn't disobey. I can't believe I sang loud enough for him to hear.

So I continued, "What I'm saying is I need you here".

"Even though love never seems to last-" I paused briefly. I realized I was singing the song with meaning.

"If you think we've got a chance,"

"Stay awhile"

"Oh, you got to stay awhile"

"These days are wild,"

"So baby won't you stay awhile..." I finished at the first chorus.

"Marceline, that was pretty" Finn commented.

I blushed as I said, "T-thank you".

***
I floated to my room, to have some private time to think things through. I kept thinking about Finn's behavior. He was so depressed about his breakup, that it made me worry. Then, he felt better when I started to sing. Does he like me? No, he just suffered a breakup! What the heck am I thinking!?I sighed. I feel I like the boy, but I don't want to admit it. I just have my head in the clouds. Wishful thinking.

I went into my bathroom to wash my face, then I headed downstairs. I saw Finn sitting on my couch, with a wide smile on his face. "Marceline, I think I want to do something now!"

"Like what?" I asked, I had a feeling it was going to be good.

"Something fun!"

I knew I loved him then.

YAY! I finished the chapter!Tell me what you think! What I need more of, what I need less of, what you like, and what you don't like. Tell me what fun thing you think they should do. I will continue if you guys like this enough. I feel the chapter was short, but whatever. Song is "Stay Awhile" by Ryan Star :)
