A/N: Just so you readers know, I emotionally torture Marshall in this one... a lot. I'm prepared for flame if it means continuing to do that. Jeez, I sound like a sadis-Wait. I am one. Never mind that. Okay, something that might make you die of laughter, I'm the male author of this page. *waits for laughter to end* I just needed something diffirent to write and an awkward love story works out and is actually really fun to write. So, anyway, here's chapter 2.

It was midnight. I was internally debating whether Fionna would be awake at this time of night or not. The bridge away from the cave creaked and moaned when I walked over it. I had spent so much time thinking about Fionna that I had forgotten that I could fly. Pieces of dust and wood flew across the night sky when I crossed. I kept on walking, slowly.

"Why am I moving so slowly?" I asked myself. Then it clicked. "Oh, yeah… I'm walking…" Quickly, I got off my feet and began to quickly float towards Fionna and Cake's tree house. There were two ways I could go to her tree. I could go around the Candy Kingdom but take a few minutes more, or I could go through it. Well, if I was to go through the Candy Kingdom then that snot-nosed Gumball might notice me and I'd have to see him. I really don't want to see that guy. Well, the long way it is.

The path was odd. It was eerily quiet, there were no creatures waving at me or even a single thing trying to get me. The cold winds of the Ice Kingdom blew into my face, making me shiver a bit. But if I had to endure all of the long float and the cold to see her, then so be it.

There it was. I could see it in the distance, somewhat glimmering in the moonlight, her tree.

I must have looked insane since I was talking to myself, practicing what to say when Fionna answered the door.

"Well, hey Fionna, how have you be-No, that doesn't sound right… I was thinking about you all nigh-Okay, that sounds really weird." I guess there was no more time for thinking or preparing, I was already at the door. I planted my feet and stood there, looking at the door, paralyzed by complete nervousness. Slowly, my hand made its way to the door and knocked. It was silent. Maybe she didn't hear it.

I knocked again. I heard the sound of feet shuffling around inside. I could feel my heart start to beat faster. The door opened and I peered inside.

"Fionna?" I said as I looked around.

"She's not here, Marshall Lee." Who said that? Oh. I looked down. I crouched down to look at Beemo, eye to eye. The little robot looked at me and said "Fionna and Cake are at Gumball's castle. They actually left just a bit ago. If you float there, I think you can catch them." His screen was still dim from just turning on.

"Hey, uh, Beemo?" Beemo turned back, as he walking back to the couch to sleep again. "I forgot to eat today; do you happen to have something red?" Beemo stared at me and sighed, a tad frustrated that I came by at midnight. He walked back.

"We don't have meat, if you're wondering."

"I eat shades of red, Beemo."

"Yeah, we don't have anything red. Fionna and Cake have been eating at Gumball's really often, so there's hardly any food here."

I chuckled and said, "Well, you have a red button."

Beemo stared at me, not thinking I would ever dare to do that. I picked him up and opened up the little door to his red button.

"C'mon Beemo! I'll suck the red out of ya!" Beemo giggled as I picked him up and he said that if I went to the fridge I could find some beets. I let Beemo down and he walked away to the couch with a smile as he began to turn off.

"Good night, Marshy."

"Don't call me Marshy." I said with a grin.

I sucked the red out a beet or two and decided that I could probably catch up with Cake and Fionna if I went fast enough. I ran out the door and threw myself at the night sky. The moon was full and high that night, shining down upon the Candy Kingdom. The Candy Kingdom, that's where she was, I absolutely had to go there.

I floated towards the tower. I glanced inside and saw them. Gumball and Fionna were roaming the castle, talking.

"Oh, I guess they're busy…" I said as I started to float away. I was looking off into the distance; the Ice Kingdom was clearly visible. I wasn't close enough to it to get the smell of penguins.

I was dazing off when I heard something coming from behind me. It was a voice. It sounded familiar. Could it really be? I turned back and Fionna was waving at me shouting something. I rushed back to listen to her.

"Marshall! What are you doing out here? Why don't you come inside with me and Gumball?" I stared at her for a bit, trying to make up an excuse for why I don't want to go in. Just as soon as I was going to say the excuse I was interrupted by Gumball.

"Oh, hello Marshall! You look cold! Why don't you come in?" He yelled out to me. I thought about it and sighed.

"Okay! I'll be in there in a second!" I said with a half-frustrated tone.

The castle was adorned very fancily. There were swords on the wall, probably never actually used in combat by Gumball. There was a fireplace, burning logs of old candy, the air smelt of old candy-canes. The floor was made out of white chocolate, with some sections of hard pink taffy to hold the walls up. Paintings of bubblegum royalty lined the walls, from the very first king to a large portrait of Gumball.

"Like the picture, huh?" Gumball spoke in a proud tone.

"Uh, yeah, it's a very nice… drawing." I said, glancing back to Fionna.

"I painted it myself with old candies." He spoke, turning back to look at Fionna now as well.

Fionna almost threw herself onto Gumball's shoulder saying, "Gumball is such a great artist! You should really take some drawing lessons from him, Marshy!" Gumball chuckled and they booped each other on nose. I cringed internally of how close they were.

Ah, hate. What a familiar feeling towards Gumball.

"Oh! Let us do what we were here to do!" He said, a bit surprised I was still standing there and not gone already. He took Fionna lightly by the hand while I tagged along in the back.

Fionna and Gumball were laughing it up every thirty seconds at every little comment Gumball seemed to make about something. Maybe it was me. Who knows?

Fionna looked back at me and mouthed, "He's so funny."

I nodded and forced a slight grin saying, "I know, right?" The breeze from outside creeped in and it seemed as if it only made its way to me. I shivered. Gumball just happened to look when I shivered and took off his coat. He offered me his coat,

"Marshy, take the coat, you seem cold. That little jacket of yours can't keep that warm at this time." He put it on me, whether I wanted it or not. Fionna, completely entranced by the "kindness" of Gumball, spoke,

"Oh, Gumball. You didn't have to do that, dude!" I took off the coat and forcefully extended my hand towards him.

"First off, I'm not cold at all. Second off, it's a shirt and not a jacket. Third, don't you ever call me Marshy," I said, angry as ever. Gumball laughed a bit.

"A bit of a temper, I see. Let's go eat some supper, Marshall. C'mon!" He said while running off to the dining hall with Fionna. I had to resist tearing his precious little tower piece by piece, muttering to myself as I walked over to the dining hall as well.

I took a seat next to Cake. She ran over to Fionna, a bit scared of me for some strange reason.

"Am I just invisible when vampire boy is around?" She said in a sarcastic tone. Gumball stood up and said that if she was to go down the hallway to the left that she could meet up with Lord Monichromicorn. Glob, even his pet's names are annoying. Cake giddily ran to the exact places he said to.

I spent the dinner staring at Gumball angrily. His pink hair, all his useless talents, his prissy outfit, his stupid voice, they all just made me even more angry. But I guess my heart just stopped for a second and I forgot about anger when I saw Fionna look at me for a half a second, she was smiling. Her hat was flopping down and her hair was messy, her old blue shirt was a bit dirty from eating the terrible sandwiches Gumball made, but I didn't care. She was beautiful.

Then I went back to a bout of a hate when I saw her look back at Gumball. She started talking like they've known each other forever. I looked down at the plate of food. Nothing red, I figured Gumball would forget that I eat red.

"Oh, Gumball, you're so great at singing! Your voice is amazing!" She said, her eyes shining brightly for the pink idiot.

He laughed that dumb laugh of his and said,"Oh, no, Fionna! It's your voice that sounds like it was crafted by a dozen angels!" She blushed. I figured that I was just fading into the background by now. I coughed to get their attention.

Gumball slapped himself in the head and said, "That's right, Marshy! You only eat red!" He said, running into the kitchen. He came back with a bowl of strawberries. Fionna practically was eating all this "I'm so nice" idiocy out of his palm again. He looked at me with a grin.

My hands clenched into a fist. I stood up and said "I'm sorry, it's been awfully… fun, but I have to go." Gumball looked confused.

"But you haven't even touched your strawberries, Marshy!"

I neared the window and said, "Keep the damn strawberries." I flew away. Then I floated back for half a second to say one more thing. "Don't call me Marshy."

I was floating away in a blind rage, not knowing where I was going or where I was going to be in the next hour. I was screaming at myself, screaming at Gumball, screaming at everything, I didn't care if I woke anybody up anymore. It seemed like I was up in the air for hours. I passed the Rock Candy Mountains and even my own cave.

I was almost at the Sea of Nothing when I realized that I was lost. I groaned and started heading back to the cave. I crawled into my cave. I plopped myself onto bed, tired. I couldn't think. I couldn't sleep. I could just lay there and remember the things Fionna said.

I walked into the closet. There were drawings of her that I drew pinned to every inch of the wall. I sighed and decided that I really should take drawing lessons.

I fell asleep to a tattered old picture I drew of me protecting her from a giant monster.
