I don't own adventure time or its characters. all rights go to Pedleton ward
I woke up in a cold sweat, this has been probably the 100th time I've had this dream. Every time it happens it seems as though it's the very first time I've had it. This dream it's a constant reminder of what I am and how I'll never be good enough. You might ask what I'll never be good enough at, when in reality it's who I'm not good enough for. It may sound silly for me to worry about such a thing since I'm an adventuress and all, but I can't help it, its human nature. Cake has asked me several times before what was wrong with the dream, but I could never tell her because I knew it would only upset her that I haven't been truthful with her in the past. So I would always tell her it was a dream about me in the ocean. Good thing she doesn't know that I'm not afraid of it anymore. In fact now that I think about it he was the one that got me over my childish phobia nearly three months ago.
Flashback….
I found myself looking at a note on the fridge from my sister Cake explaining how she had left while I was playing Beemo to visit Lord Monochromicorn since he was sick. Also it had said that she wouldn't be back until she was sure he was back to health and etc. As I placed the note onto the table I glanced at the clock to see that it was 1:15 pm. "hmm I could go to sleep now but I'm not even tired." I said out loud. Normally when cake left to visit LM I would just stay home and play Beemo or I'd go to the Candy Kingdom to hang out with Prince Gumball, but now it's too early to go outside alone, and Beemo just left to go to some sleepover. "Just my luck I guess I can just make myself something to eat then put in a scary movie or something" I thought while I walked to the kitchen. As I began to cook my pancakes I went to the fridge to get out some strawberries.
When I walked back to the stove I put in the batter I made previously and began cooking. After a while I reached in the cabinet to get me a plate and I placed all the pancakes I made onto it. Afterwards I put the strawberries on and some syrup and whip cream then I started walking towards the TV in the living room. Until I heard a loud bang on the window and I immediately turned towards it only to see a large figure with red eyes staring directly at me. I nearly jumped ten feet off the floor before I realized it was just Marshall.
"Jeez Fi, the way you jumped I could have sworn you had never seen a vampire before." He said sarcastically as he climbed through my window while grinning. I swear every time I see his grin it nearly melts my heart. Not to mention his killer personality and not so equally toned body that I tended to stare at longer nowadays. Then that's when I noticed that I had been quiet and hadn't said anything to him yet. "Yoohoo earth to Fionna." he said as he waved his hand in front of my face. "Glob globbit really Marshall haven't you ever heard of coming through the door." i halved yelled as the blush that was on my face moments ago began to fade. " well actually i have but wheres the fun in that when if i just come through the window i can see your adorable face turn into my favorite color." he explained as my face began to warm up all over again.
I-I wasn't just blushing there must be something wrong with the lighting in here or your eyes." I stammered as he looked at me disbelievingly. "no one said you were." he stated "sh-shut up anyways what are you doing here?" I questioned him as he took a few of my strawberries from off my pancakes and sucked the red from them. "Hey!" I exclaimed as he just laughed and floated towards my couch. 'Well I was on my way to the strawberry fields to grab a bite to eat when I flew by and say your kitchen light on. Soooo long story short I thought you were woke and decided I'd pay my little bunny a visit." he said casually while sitting down. "Awe that's cool, it's a good thing you showed up I thought I would have to spend my night bored again." I explained nonchalantly as I twisted my hair around my finger. "Whattt the great fi has been bored. Well that's a new one." He said in mock shock.
"Ha-ha real funny but seriously lately I've been home alone more often since Cake and LM started dating. Its ok thought it's not like I'm mad at her or anything because I'm actually happy that she's happy. It's just I miss her sometimes you know?" I said while leaning against the wall, stared at the cracks in the floor. After a couple minutes of silence I decided it was time to change the subject, since I didn't want to make him all sad for me and junk. "Anyways what do you want to do?" I asked as he still stayed silent. "Hey marsh it's ok I-." I started but was interrupted when I heard him whisper "hey fi" from the other side of the room.
"Yeah marsh?" I said as he rose up a little to look my way from over the couch. "Do you want to go do something fun?" He asked with a little hesitation. "Sure I guess but like what?" I asked knowing that if I had said yes without details that I'd be regretting it later. "It's a secret." He said while zipping his mouth closed with his finger. Meaning that no matter what I said next he wouldn't tell me. So I just finished the rest of my now soggy pancakes and said "fine just let me go get my bag, because knowing you there's no telling what I'll need." I said while thinking of all the places we could be going.
"Just hurry up ok." He yelled from the couch as I climbed up stairs to grab my bag from off my bed and then reached under my bed for my shoes. "Ok let's do this!" I yelled as I jumped down from upstairs and into the living room where Marshall stood waiting by the window. "Alright hang on tight." He said. "Hang on tight for wh-." I began but was stopped mid-sentence since Marshall decided to lift me up bridal style and was then out the window in a flash.
