Eternal finished setting up the karaoke machine, then looked at the clock. 7:45. She sighed and sat on the couch. Her best friends would be coming over to mourn her childhood. She turned 18 today, and being the princess of the Sound Kingdom, that meant she would have to start courting. I swear, once I become queen, that rule is going down the drain.
The first one to show up, as usual, was Marshall, who came floating through the window. Eternal made a face and said,"Excuse me, have you ever heard of a little thing called a door?" Marshall frowned mockingly,"No. Don't think so." Eternal rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Marsh." Marshall smirked and floated towards the couch. There was a knock at the door, and Eternal opened the door. Fionna was holding out a present wrapped in red paper, tied with silver ribbon. Eternal blushed,"You didn't have to bring presents." The present started floating above Eternal's head, and the red slowly disappeared. Eternal smiled,"Fork it over Marshall." "As you wish, your majesty." Marshall quipped as he handed her the present and cackled.
Eternal walked over to her television and put in the tape. "I figured it would suit the company." Dracula started playing as she went to get the popcorn. When she came back, Marshall shot her a dirty look and looked back at the screen, while Fionna was looking from the screen to Marshall in terror every five seconds. Eternal laughed and brought the popcorn over. Marshall randomly started laughing."The graphics in this movie suck. You can totally tell that's fake blood."
After the tape had played a couple times, Elly asked, "Hey, you gonna stay here til the sun rises?" He looked behind him out the window and frowned as the sky grey lighter. As the night faded into morning, Ellyon waved her best friend off as she watched Fionna sleep on the couch.
Eternal sighed and looked over at Fionna passed out her couch. Marshall had left a few hours ago, and it was just her, Fi, and Cake in the house. She went in the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee and pulled an orange from her bowl. Eternal walked back into the living room and poked Fionna,"Wake up sleeping beauty." Fionna groaned. Eternal sighed and peeled the sticker off the orange and stuck it to Fi's forehead. She put a note on the table:
Hey Fi,
Going to the grocery kingdom, be back later.
-Eternal
Fionna woke up on the couch, and felt something on her forehead. A sticker? She looked over at the table, where a cup of coffee and an orange were sitting, and a note in Eternal's hand-writing. She sighed, took the sticker off her forehead, and walked over to the chair where Cake was sleeping. "Hey Cake, come on." Cake mumbled "Imme- a- minute-sugar and went back to sleep. Fionna picked her up and walked out the door.
Meanwhile, Eternal had been thinking about her predicament and sighed, I really, really don't want to date anyone. If only I could fake it long enough to run out of time. Instantly, she had an idea, if an insane one."I wonder if he'd play along." She walked over to the register and payed for her items. But instead of walking towards her house, she turned towards Marshall's cave.
"So, where to first?" Ellyon asked. "How about the Candy Kingdom?" Marshall replied. Eternal pondered the matter and nodded. He picked her up and started floating in the direction of the sugar-filled land. Eternal freaked out."Marshall put me down! You know I'm scared of heights." Marshall laughed wickedly."No."
