Marshall Lee just came home from Prince Gumball's bi-annual Gumball ball. "What does Bubba have that makes Fionna love him?" Marshall asked himself. He grabbed his bass guitar and started humming a soft little tune.
"Na na na na na Na na na na na He takes your hand, I die a little. I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles. Why can't you look at me like that? When you walk by I try to say it, but then I freeze and never do it. My tongue gets tied. The words get trapped." Marshall remembered when, at the ball Fionna peeked through the curtains. She saw Marshall and waved. He wanted to go up to her and say, "Fi… you look amazing, wanna dance?" But instead he just held up the rocker sign.
"I hear the beat of my heart getting louder whenever I'm near you." Marshall sung as the music changed for the chorus. "But I see you with him slow dancing. Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see. Whenever you kiss him I'm breaking. Ohh, how I wish that was me" Marshall finished terrorizing some candy people at the ball and he looked up. He saw the ballroom was cleared for non-other than Prince Gumball and Fionna. He felt his heart break as he stood there and watched.
"He looks at you the way that I would. Does all the things I know that I could. If only time could just turn back. 'cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you. But I see you with him slow dancing. Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see. Whenever you kiss him, I'm breaking."
The song was nearly over, so Marshall walked to the door, turned around and saw Fionna. While she was dancing, she was looking at Marshall. He walked out the door into the cool night air, and flew far out of the kingdom to his house in the cave. "Oh, How I wish that that it was me. With my hands on your waist while we dance in the moonlight. I wish it was me. That you call later on 'cause you wanna say good night. 'cause I see you with him slow dancing. Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see… but I see you with him slow dancing. Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see. Whenever you kiss him, I'm breaking. Oh how I wish that was me." Marshall finished.
Marshall jumped when he heard clapping behind him. "Dude, that was amazing!" Fionna cheered. "I saw you leave the ball, so I came to see what's wrong. You looked really upset when you left." Fionna continued when she saw Marshall's puzzled expression.
"Oh well. It's nothing." Marshall mumbled.
Fionna smiled and said, "Oh come on Marshy. I know you better than that." She stepped up closer to him and said passionately, "Now really what's wrong?"
"It's you and Gum-butt." Marshall huffed, "what is it about him that you like so much, Fionna?"
"What? I don't like Gumball!" Fionna protested.
"Oh Fionna, I saw you two dancing." Marshall said.
"We were dancing as friends! I don't like Gumball anymore. I used to when I was younger, but I don't anymore."
"Oh really then who do you like?" Marshall shouted.
Fionna took a deep breath then shyly whispered, "You."
Marshall's eyes widened, and his tone softened, "R-Really?"
"Yes Marshall I… I love you." Said Fionna. Marshall grabbed Fionna's wrist, and pulled her even closer into a kiss. Fionna wanted to make this moment last forever, but sadly she had to break for air. When she did Marshall Lee whispered in her ear, "I love you, too."
