HELLO PEOPLE!
This is another Fiolee fanfic I decided to write. All judging is welcome and please review. Not a lot of fluff here but there will be seriousness and fluff in upcoming chappies I you wish for me to continue. And I'll only know if you guys review.
I've known hundreds of people from different kingdoms and lands. Prince Gumball, Lumpy space Prince, the people of the goblin kingdom, the Ice Queen, I can name a lot but I have to have a limit.
But to be honest, I'm not a princess.
I'm a heroine. I save the royals. And I never plan to be one. Because almost every royal I know is stuck up or proper. Except for one.
And as I sat next to him at the mouth of his cave eating strawberries and watching the sunset, I sighed. All week I'd been hunting down villains and kicking evil' s butt. It was the end of the week, and I finally found a moment where I could relax and be myself..I didn't need to get preppy around the Vampire King. I didn't have to fake a smile or wear a dress. I could sit like a dude in my skirt and talk casually. No one, not even Cake could ever handle this like my bro could.
"Its been a while since I've seen the sunset." Marshall Lee said with a sigh. For a second I had forgotten that he was nocturnal and would burn in the sunlight. One of the downsides to being a vampire I guess.
"Awesome, right?" I said barely above a whisper. "I remember watching these with my dad. It used to be the only alone time I'd get with him. He always was busy, but the end of the day he knew it was our personal time. Cake had her's early in the day. Dad would always tell me that even though I was the only human, I should never get vulnerable. That I should look fear in the face and kick it square in the gut. Cause being the last of a species should make you go down in history the best way possible." Marshall Lee handed me a strawberry that he'd already drained the color out of. "Sunsets are always the best time to think about bunk and just chill."
"Yeah. It may seem weenie-fied, but its actually pretty cool." Marshall Lee said reclining on his back in mid air with his hands behind his head. "Your weenie-ness is rubbing off on me Fi."
"Or you're just turning into a softy." I teased.
"I'm getting soft."
"Yes."
"Oh yeah?" He said raising a brow.
"Mhmm." I said confidently.
"Well then." He said as he floated out into the night. The sun was down and the moon was full. He grabbed my ankles and pulled me in the air with him.
"Ha ha very funny man . Now put me down." I said with a laugh. I bent upward to look at his face and all humor was gone. His facial expression was serious with a hint of amusement behind them. He gave me a smirk and his fangs glistened in the moonlight.
"Okay. I'll put you down." He said in a mischievous tone.
His hands let go of my ankles and I skyrocketed towards the ground. The wind burned in my eyes as the ground got closer and closer. Was he gonna catch me? Was he truly evil like everyone kept telling me.
No. He's my bro. And bros don't drop their bros so they go splat on the ground and die. If he'd planned on catching me I was so gonna give him a knuckle sandwich afterward.
But the ground kept coming. And I was still falling. I dashed by a few tall trees and I pushed my elbows in front of my face to try to break my fall. I was mere inches from the ground when I suddenly halted to a stop. There was silence then a laugh.
"Still think I'm soft Blondie?"
"You suck you butt!" I said flipping onto the ground when he let go of my ankles. "And don't do that again."
"Then don't call me soft again. We both know I'm evil. Vampire King. Son of a demon..." Marshall Lee said as he walked me home.
"You can keep saying that but you aren't evil Marshall Lee. You're just..."
"Sinister?"
"Mean." I conclude.
"That's all?" He asked.
"Yep. Sometimes you're awesome, others you're annoying. And some days, you're just flat out mean."
"Since when am I nice?"
"You're nice most of the time."
"Only when I'm around you kid." He said as we approached the tree house that I shared with my adoptive sister Cake.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"You're just one of the only cool guys I know."
"Same here. I feel so natural around you."
"You don't get scared."
"I can act rowdy and..."
"Be myself." we said together. I locked eyes with him and he gave me a smile. We walked the rest of the way cracking jokes. When I reached my house we said our goodbyes and he left.
I entered my home and sat my pack in the corner. Cake walked into the living room with a mug in her hand and her reading glasses on.
"Hey babycakes." she said gesturing me to follow her into the kitchen. "I made dinner."
"Thanks Cake." I said walking into the kitchen. On the table was a big plate of spaghetti. My favorite. She handed me a cup of soda and sat solemnly at the other end of the table with her coffee. She was spoiling me. Something's up.
"You okay Cake?" I asked eating some spaghetti. She looked down at the table and sipped some of her coffee. We sat in silence until a sigh from Cake signalled our conversation.
"Fionna there's something we need to talk about."
"Okay." I said with my mouth full.
"You know that I'm married to Mochro." She said.
"Yeah."
"And you know that we have kittens to tend to.
"Yep." I said drinking my soda.
"We've been talking and I think I should move in with Mochro."
Cake jumped as I spat out my soda in surprise. She wasn't serious!?
"Cake!? You're leaving!?" I shriek loudly.
"Not leaving forever. I'm just moving in so I can take care of my babies. You of all people should respect this Fi Fi." Cake said.
This was too much. She couldn't move out.
"What about adventuring? No more adventure time!?" I asked.
"No! I'll still adventure with you occasionally. It's just some days I'll just stay with the kittens." Cake said worriedly. She walked around the table and put a hand on my shoulder. "Sugar I'm never gonna stop loving you or hanging around. We're sistas fo-eva. We made a pact and I'll never break that. You'll be okay by yourself for now. I'll come sometimes to hang out and check up on you. Okay?"
"Yeah alright." I said going back to my spaghetti. Cake smiled and went upstairs.
"I'm going to bed. See you in the morning."
"Kay g'night." I said with a wave.
After dinner I headed back out into the night. Gripping my backpack straps, I descended across the grasslands. I had no idea where I was planning to go, but I kept walking. I entered the forbidden forest and kicked a rock down the path. I heard a rustle behind me and turned around to see only the greenery of the forest. After a solid minute of staring behind me I continue my trek through the forest. Then minutes later something was wrong.
The air around me had gotten colder. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. I turned around slowly and saw a demonic face . I shrieked and slapped it in its face.
"Ow!" it said. Or he, because as he rubbed his cheek, Marshall morphed back into his normal form. "What was that for?"
"I'm not up for it tonight man." I said walking towards nowhere. Knowing that he'd follow me, I spoke softly.
"Cake' s moving out and I just want some time to think."
"Aaah so kitty's taking the next step huh." Marshall Lee said as he floated next to me.
"Yeah. I mean don't get me wrong. I'm not jealous just..." I looked down at the grass that covered ground. "Things aren't the same anymore."
"How?" He asked.
"I mean think about. Everything is changing! First Gumball's getting married in two weeks and now Cake' s moving out! No one's the same! Not even Ice Queen! She's engaged to one of the business men that Cake and I hired and fired once! I mean all the royals are gonna move on with their lives and I'll still be here. Everyone's just growing up and it scares me Marshall!"
I turned away from him and hugged my chest. as tears cascaded down my face. "My worst nightmare is that everyone will move on and get married. That I'll be alone. The same chubby bunny looking girl from four years ago. The same girl who still hasn't found that guy. The guy who'll love me for me. Who in this world will love me like that man? Who cares about me anymore?"
We stood this way in silence. I was already wiping away tears when he said something that caught me completely off guard.
"I do."
I turned around to face him.
"What?" I said with a sniff.
"I said I do. I care about you Fionna. I love you for you. I like everything you do. There's nothing about you that I want to change. In my eyes you're perfect."
"I'm perfect." I said with a sarcastic laugh. He walked over and looked me in my eyes.
"Yes you're perfect. And what makes you perfect is that you're different. All the other girls in Aaa have nothing on you because they aren't genuine. You're pure and they aren't. You don't give a care about what people think of you. You only care about other's. You would jump off a cliff if it ment saving someone's life. That's why I love you. Because unlike all the girls around me, you're real."
I realized that as he spoke, our faces got closer and closer together until there was only a few inches between us. I look into his eyes and notice that they aren't red. They are green around his pupils and red on the outside with little flecks of blue here and there. His eyes dart to my lips and he slowly closed the gap between us. His kiss isn't what I'd excepted. It wasn't cold or hard. It was actually soft and warm. He was warm as his arm snaked its way around my waist. He tasted like strawberries causing me to smile against his lips. I follow his lead not because it was my first kiss, no. It was because it was surprisingly the first kiss I actually enjoyed.
When you're the last human in Aaa and you're female, you attract a lot of unwanted attention. I've kissed almost every Prince who's tried to make the moves on me. Up until then I had thought that Flame Prince was the only guy I've felt that way about before. But when I kissed Marshall Lee, I felt as though the world has dissolved around us and that everything that every was was gone. That we were the only ones left.
My hand raked through his flipped out black hair as the kiss continued. But the kiss ended before I could really enjoy it. He pulled away from my lips and whispered in his husky voice.
"I'll see you later Fionna."
During the kiss my eyes were closed. So when I opened them I was at my doorstep again. Having no idea how I got there.
I don't remember how ling I stood out there. I just remember that when I went inside the sun was rising and felt brand new.
The next day I walked towards the Candy Kingdom with head held high. I didn't want Gumball to think that I'm jealous of Vanilla Princess and him. They weren't a horrible couple it was just that no one expected them to get married so soon.
I walked past the Banana Guards and went into the Candy Castle. Peppermint maid stopped me in my tracks when I was just about to enter PG' s room.
"I'm sorry Fionna but the Prince is busy at the moment. Stop by later."
"Nah it's cool peps. He called me here." I said walking into Gumball's bedroom. He sat at his desk writing and mumbling things to himself.
"Um Gumball?" I said tapping him on the shoulder.
"Oh hello Fionna. Sit." He said gesturing to the seat on the other side of the desk. I sat down and looked him head on. If he was going to ask about wedding junk I wasn't going to get upset.
"We need to talk about you."
"What about me?" I asked.
"Do you see this flower?" He asked holding up a potted plant that sat on his desk.
"Yes."
"This is the last of its 's called the Sky flower. It's pollen is pure and rare. I bet you're wondering how I have it." He said folding his hands in a princely manner.
"Not really." I said.
"But I'll tell you. You see, thousands of bugs and animals have been trying to get its hands on it. To try to use it for themselves. So it's my job to protect it."
"Where is this going?"
"You Fionna, are a rare flower."
"Oh." I said with a blush.
"Yes, and all the men around you want you for themselves. All the royals that is. Just promise me one thing." He said standing up and looking out his window.
"Yes."
"Don't be stupid. You may go."
I got up and walk out of his bedroom. Don't be stupid? What was that supposed to mean?
I made a shortcut through the woods by the Candy Kingdom to get home. Why not be stupid? I'm all about stupid. That's how I work. He couldn't change that.
I jumped when I heard someone land in the ground behind me. My mind was already wrapped around who it was.
"Marshall not now." I said.
"The Vampire King? Not even close honey."
I turned around to see a red head with fiery green eyes. She was a few inches taller than me and her face was as pale as Marshall' s. She wore jeans and brown boots with a green tank top.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Mingo. Mingo Flame." She said walking closer to me. "Do you know the Vampire King?"
"That depends. Why do you care?" I asked.
"I'm not here to be questioned by a human girl. I'm here to deliver a message." She said circling me."The other night I was in the forbidden forest. I was there because I was trying to summon my King."
"You're a vampire?" I said plainly.
"Yes. And I saw something I wish I hadn't." She stopped right in front of me. "Do you know how many wars you've just started?"
"What the fluff are you talking about lady?"
"You kissed the Vampire King remember."
I quickly shut my mouth and she smirked, revealing her fangs.
"There are rules. Rules that every kingdom has to follow. One being that his marriage must be arranged." Mingo said. "He's to be married to the girl of his mother's choosing. Did she ever say that you and Vampire King were to be married?"
"No. She hates me." I blurted out.
"Big mistake girl." She said walking behind me.
"What?" I said turning around. But she was gone.
What war did I start? I hadn't broken a law?
I kept walking while I thought about what Mingo said and found that I was Marshall Lee's front door. I knew that he always left his door unlocked so I barged in. But his living room was empty. I peeked in his kitchen and frowned when I saw it was empty also.
"Marshall?" I said when I walked upstairs. When I
entered his bedroom I found that he was floating over his bed asleep and the room was completely dark.I stood to let my eyes adjust to the darkness and walked over and saw that he was listening to his mp3. He wore his grey tank top and his regular jeans. His mouth was slightly open as a snore escaped his mouth. Immediately a smirk crossed my face at the sight of him sleeping.
I shook his leg a couple of times to get him up."Dude come on its important!" I said.
His reaction happened so fast I didn't have time to register what had happened until seconds later. Marshall' s hands squeezed my wrists tightly as he pinned me against the wall. His knee was pushed against my stomach.
"Marsh it's me." I wheezed. His eyes widened and he dropped me to the ground.
"Fionna?" He said as I coughed and examined my bruised wrists. He floated down and helped me up off the ground. "Damn what's wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you that you can't wake me up like that. It's like you want me to kill you."
"I just wanted to talk man." I said dusting myself off. "Some chick name Mingo said something about a war."
"MINGO!?" He shouted. When I nodded he glanced at his clock. It was already dark out. He went over to his closet and started putting his clothes on. "Shit..."
"What?" I asked as he pulled his shoes on.
"I gotta go. Go home and I'll see you in the morning."
"No wait a minute-" I said walking up to him and putting a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and grabbed my shoulders. His eyes turned a deadly red meaning he was completely serious. "Fionna I don't have time to talk to you about this. For your own safety I suggest that you go home."
I felt lump formed in my throat and I nodded. He settled down for a second and sighed. He grabbed his bass and flew me downstairs. We left his cave and he flew me to the tree house. "I'll see you in the morning Fi."
"What's going on?" I said but he was already flying out away. I went inside and ran upstairs without speaking to Cake. Something was up and he knew something. The phone rang downstairs and Cake answered it. Two minutes later she came upstairs with a sorrowful look in her eyes.
"Fionna are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah why?" I asked. She went over to her drawer that she slept in and started straightening it. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing. Just get some sleep." She simply said.
I was sick if this 'Be careful' nonsense. First Gumball, then Marshall, and now my own freakin sister. Something was wrong. And everyone knew it but me.
Like said not a lot of fluff but review if you likey and want me to continue
