Partners in Crime
It was another clear night in the land of Ooo and Marshall Lee was planning on sleeping in all day. He floated onto his bed and closed his eyes in the traditional vampire position. But then opened his eyes when he heard the someone knocking at the door. 'Can't I ever rest in peace?' he thought to himself while going over to his front window to check who it was. A smile spread across his face when he saw that it was his good friend Marceline. He happily opened the door and greeted her with a flirting welcome. "Well hello there gorgeous." He leaned his left arm against the side of the door and crossed his left leg over his right one and his face just a few inches away from hers. She rolled her eyes and flipped her hair out of her face, "I see you still haven't matured yet, even though you've lived, how many years?" He just shrugged and flicked his tongue at her, "So what brings you here?" "Just having another boring day and thought maybe you can bring some sort of excitement to it." She flipped her hair out of her face again. "I guess, but I was actually planning on watching CSI…" his face lit up and Marceline immediately knew he had an idea and most likely it was going to be stupid. 'Here's a stupid idea in three…two…one…' she thought to herself. "We should try to solve a crime!" he happily said, "there has to be something dead lying around in the "Bad Side" of Ooo." Marceline just shrugged and went along with it.
They flew over towards the "Bad Side" and looked around. Then all of a sudden a prostitute walked over to Marshall, "Hey handsome, wanna have alil fun?" "Aaaahhh! I don't want STD's! Get away from me you hooker!" he managed to push her away from him. That's when more started to appear. "I guess the ladies can't get enough of you." Marceline laughed much to Marshall's content. He loved her laugh and always tried to make her laugh. "What can I say? I'm a lady killer." He winked at her and her face turned a slight pale pink. They floated over all the hookers and stopped at a bar. Marshall sniffed the air and looked towards an alley at the side of the bar. "You smell that?" he looked towards Marceline, "Yeah, smells like decaying flesh." They looked at each other and smiled.
When they got to the alley they saw a shadow lying on the ground deeper inside. Marshall slowly floated closer towards it with Marceline close behind. As they got to it, they realized it was someone they had known. Jennifer, the pink gumdrop girl. "Well, I think now we have to examine the body and predict what happened to it," Marshall floated around her body looking for any clues, "um, I forgot we need equipment." Marceline took out a black bug from her pocket and crushed it, forming it into a bag. She took out a camera and took multiple pictures of Jennifer's body. "AHHA! She got eaten by an animal." Marshall announced proudly. Marceline looked closer at her body and saw two tiny holes punctured in her neck, "For a guy who watches CSI twenty four seven, you can't solve crap. It's obvious she got her sugar sucked out of her from her neck and if she were eaten by an animal, her body wouldn't have been here." He looked at Jennifer's neck, "That was my next theory…You know, I think it's kind of hot when you get all serious." He moved in closer to her which Marceline backed away, "Uhh, we should give her body to the investigators now." "Okay." He took out his phone and called the police. "Did you ever notice that whenever someone's solving a crime it's either a rainy day or at night?" Marceline smiled at him and the police surrounded the alley. One came up to them, "How did you two find her?" "Well officer, me and my girl came to this bar to have a nice drink and we happened to smell her body, oh and there's to punctures on her neck." Marceline elbowed him. "Punctures? Like a vampire bite?" he raised his eyebrow at them. "Hey! Don't accuse us of this! There are plenty of people like us you know. Now we'll be leaving." He grabbed Marceline's hand and flew off back to his house.
"CSI stuff is boring, let's never do that again?" he smiled at Marceline and she agreed. "YAWN, I better get going." She gave him a hug and went out the door. Marshall watched her fly out the cave and noticed something follow after her. "What the…?" he decided to follow her to her house. As he followed her, he noticed that he really wasn't the only one. There was another guy after her. He was tall with white hair, two long strands on the sides and one on top like a mohawk. "Marshall?" Marceline looked at him confused. "Oh! Marcy, um, I saw someone following you and…" he looked around, but the guy was nowhere in sight, "never mind, I think I was just seeing things…" "Oh well, okay, see ya." And she flew off. Marshall went back home and picked up the phone and called her, "You home?" "Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine. You act like we're together or something." She sighed, "Sorry that I really care for my friend." She went quiet for a second, "I'm sorry but I'm okay, good night." She hung up and held the phone close to her chest and blushed, "He really cares for me…"
