In the tree house barely getting up of bed. It had been a long day yesterday, Fionna needed her rest. She got up and went toward the kitchen. The smell of pancakes and strawberries filled her nose.

Mathematical! Thought the adventuress, hoping to see her sassy cat sister Cake stirring up some pancake mix. Sadly no. Cake wasn't in the kitchen; there was just a plate full of pancakes and fresh strawberries, a note, and BMO.

-"glob, darn it." Fionna took the note in which her sister said;

Hun, I'll be off with lord monochromicorn, so be safe sugar 'till I get back. Won't be too long.

- Cake.

Fionna didn't mind that fact that Cake left. What bothered her was being alone. So trying to lighten up the day she took a bite into one of the pancakes, which were just too delicious, her mouth tingled. Then she took a bite into one of the strawberries and regretted it. The tasted rattled her heart.

Strawberries were full of red. Fionna was use to seeing refrigerators full of red, full of strawberries. In a house full of music form an axe bass in the hands of a king, a vampire king.

Fionna stopped her thoughts just then and there. She didn't like the road they were taking. She put away the pancakes and the strawberries.

-"Marshall." Was all she said as a small tear came out of her eyes.

Fionna didn't mind the fact of Cake leaving for a while, nor did she mind being alone, what bothered her, was being alone…without Marshall messing around with her.

She lied across the cough to stare at in the roof for no particular reason, only to remember that very day he left.

Fionna was at Marshall Lee's place hanging around, fighting with each other that way usually do every now and then when Fi wasn't saving Prince Gumball or helping the fluffy people with their, just as sweet as fluffy, missions.

Marshall was on a roll just jamming out notes like the rock god he is as Fi head banged lightly along with the rhythm.

-"whoa, Marshall you got to write that down, it's simply awesome bro." cheered Fionna after Marshall's rock out.

-"yeah, I know. I'm pretty awesome, huh?" Spoke the cute vampire as he floated closer to the girl. Fionna started to blush, to hide it she gave Marshall a punch in the arm.

-"knock it off." She laughed lightly.

-"Oh, Ow! What pain! Oh my suffering!" he exaggerated. And floated out of Fionnas reach while laughing before she tried to really hurt him.

She put on this small half smile and half pout on her face, only to sick her tongue out toward him.

-"hey I'd be careful."- Mocked Marshall as he lowered to the girls face. He cupped her small soft checks between his hands -"you happen to be with a king you know."- He came closer to her face inch by tiny inch, speaking in the most seductive way a vampire could. - "and you are in my domains little bunny."- Fionnas head started to spin. If only he knew just what he does to her every time he came so close, the pleasure she felt when his velvet cold hands touch her soft warm skin.-"I can do as I please."- She softly shivered and hoped he didn't notice.

Marshall simply smirked at the reaction, then he lifted the girl up in the air and playfully tossed her to the cough. He laughed.

-"You totally fell for it, Fi." He chanted.

-"Marshall Lee! " Fionna furiously got started to swing punches at the boy, though he laughed and avoided them completely out of her reached. She too giggled at the scene.

Then three hard knocks rattled the door.

-"Hey knuckle head open up." A rough female voice spoke.

Marshall hissed loudly. –"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." He answered. He turned and look toward Fionna who was still preparing her next blow at him. –" Fi, it's time for ya to go home, but don't worry…"- he put on his full demon face –"I'll go haunt you later."- Then he lightly hissed as the blue eyed adventuress gave him a good whack on the nose.

She laughed. –"if, you say so." She got her backpack. And strode out toward the door. When she opened it, she found none other than Hannah Abadeer, former ruler of the nightosphere.

Fionna only waved hello and went on her way.

She was half way passed the grasslands when she felt something cold in her back pack.

-"what the heck!" she shouted as she found the pile of bleach white strawberries. Probably just another one of Marshalls pranks.

-"okay now I'm really ticked." Fionna ran back toward Marshall's place.

When she got there, she barged pass the caves mouth, walked the few steps, and almost banged the door till she heard Marshall say.

-"yeah, I know, I get it, mother I'm getting married next week."

Married? Fionna thought. Marshy is about to get married and didn't tell me. Pain ran across the young gal's heart. Why did I just call him marshy? How… when… why?...

Fionna couldn't wrap her head around the thought of her Marshy getting married, Nor the sound of her heart breaking in her chest.

-"well, if understand, how come you still flirt with the human girl? At first I thought she was your pet or servant. But since I saw no sign of hatred or forceful fear in her eyes, I finally got the picture." She said full of cruelty.

-"you got it wrong, Fionna is like whatever. You know, just a friend."

Fionna didn't want to hear the rest. She tossed the red less strawberries on the porch, and ran home as fast as her legs could carry her.

Later that night just, as Marshall promised, he went over to the tree house to tell Fionna that he had to go over to the nightosphere for some time.

-"yeah, okay. Have fun." Fionna blew him off as if she didn't care. She didn't want to hear the same story twice nor did she want to hear the lie he made up to hide it.

Marshall took her by the face looked straight into her eyes trying to find her feelings, thought it took all of the will power she had to keep her facing form blushing, he found nothing.

Sad yet understanding Marshall let go of her.

-"okay. Bye Fi."

When he closed the door Fionna closed her heart. She loved him, but he loved another.

Fionna stayed looking at the roof with a shirt full of tears and her eyes glow a swollen red as words spilled out of her mouth by their own will.

-"Marshall I loved you."

She started to sing.

"Give me love like her,

Cause lately I've been waking up alone.

Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,

Told you I'd let them go,

And that I'll fight my corner

Maybe tonight I'll call ya,

No I just wanna hold ya."

As she sang her mind began to fill its self with beautiful and heartbreaking memories of the adventures between herself and her impossible nightosphere crush. Like the time Marshall kidnapped Cake after singing together, that same day he faked his death was when she realized her feeling toward Marshall yet kept them secret even to her sister.
