Marceline has always loved fall time. She could spend a lot more time outside because it got dark so much earlier than in the summer. She could spend more time with her friends. But best of all, she could spend more time with Finn. But for the past few years, fall time has did nothing but depress the Vampire Queen.
"Hey Finn!" Marceline says happily as she steps into the room of a very old adventurer. "How you been?" She questions.
"Heh...pretty good for an old fart." Finn answers weakly. He looked terrible. He was in his late 80's and Marceline knew he didn't have much more time, he was horribly sick beyond recovery.
She walks over to the edge of his bed and gently sits down. "So what you been up to marcy?" He asks quietly. She smiles and winks at him. "Oh, you know, just killing pixies and rocking out, the usual." Finn smiles at her, wrinkles around his eyes and mouth become visible. "I wish we could still go on adventures like the old days, it's not fair, you get to stay young!" He whines jokingly. "Yeah..." She says wishfully. The old days, those where the best. Playing pranks on Bonny and messing around, that was the best. "Man, I wonder how many times we got banned from the candy kingdom? Must have been at least 70." She giggles. "72 to be exact." Says finn. She leans over and softly hugs the old man. " I love you finn." The Vampire Queen says quietly as she kisses his forehead. "Love you to marcy."
"well,...I gadda get going, Have a few things to pick up, I'll be back soon, I promise!" Marceline walks over to the window, opens it, then turns around and says, "See'ya later old timer!" And flies out.
Ever since that night, Marceline wishes she had stayed there in that old tree house with the old man Finn. Been there with him in his final hour. Been with her hero. But yet, here she was, staring down at her fallen hero's grave. Right next to his best friends, and Marceline the Vampire Queen was left was left alone, in the cold, dark, rainy weather of October.
