Back at home Fionna crashed on the couch next to Cake with a sigh.
"Girl that party was AWESOME."
"That party was long."
"And YOU'RE being a partypooper. When are you gonna lighten up and enjoy people's company again?"
"I enjoyed it Cake..."
"No, you didn't. You barely talked to anyone then you vanished, and when you got back you spent the rest of the night just drifting around. You've been so withdrawn the last couple years Fionna..."
"I don't know Cake, I just feel like something's missing. Aaa is safe, I don't really do much anymore..."
"But it won't be safe forever Fionna."
They sat in silence for a little longer before Cake turned to her again.
"Where did you disappear to anyway?"
"I was out on the South balcony."
"Alooooooone?"
"Er, no..."
"Mmm were you with a boooy?"
"I was with Marshall Lee."
"Oh that no good...What did he do to you this year?!"
"That's just it, he didn't do anything."
"No prank? Gag? Stupid hoax?"
"No, he just gave me this."
Fionna pulled the pendant out from under her shirt.
"Fi! I wouldn't trust that, take it off until we figure out what it is!"
"Um...I uh, I can't..."
"Why?! Is it cursed?! I'll kill that boy if he gave you a cursed pendant! I'll-"
Fionna waved her hands in front of herself.
"No! It's not that, I promised I wouldn't take it off."
"Oh...Good, it's just him so you can."
"Cake, a promise is a promise. Even of its one made to Marshall Lee."
