Well Here You Go. Read. And Review...!
I tossed and turned all night. Something about that guy seemed really familiar but I couldn't place him. Suddenly I remembered that Ash had made Finn steal my memory of our breakup. But he could of stole one of me and that guy…Marshall if he had reason too.
Grabbing my umbrella to shield myself from the harmful sunlight rays of morning I made my way to Finn's house. I floated in my secret entrance and followed the sound of voices to the kitchen. Jake was making some type of burrito with a whole bunch of random stuff in it and Finn was eating a small little sandwich. Slinking myself into the chair across from Finn silently I said hello.
"Oh my glob, Marceline!" Finn screamed. "There's a such thing as the front door!"
"Yeah! You cant just come in here any time of day sneaking in!" Jake cried.
"Um, actually I can. But I came to ask a question."
"If your question is about Peebles, Marci, Yes she is still furious with you and yes you are still banned from the kingdom." Finn said taking a monstrous bite out of his sandwich.
"Good to know, I guess. But actually to ask about Ash. You said he tricked you into going into my memory. Did you by chance see anything about another vampire? Named uh…. Marshall Lee?"
Finn narrowed his eyes as he tried to remember. "Um… No…. No I didn't see anything about any other vampire."
"Hmm… okay…" I rubbed my temples as I tried to think some more. "But would it be possible for him to have gone in my memory before and then taken the memory of Marshall and the memory of him going into my memory?"
Finn stopped chewing. "Yeah I guess it would be. Why are you asking me all these questions anyways?"
"I'll tell you when I figure this out." I said heading out. I got the balled up paper out of my pocket and read it outlloud.
"312 Nightfall avenue. Hmm. In the town Betty and my other ghost friends live." I flew off in that direction.
When I got to 312 Nightfall Avenue I hesitated at the door, 'Do I really want to do this.' I asked myself. Before I could decide, though, the door opened and a very groggy looking guy stood at the door.
"Who the fuck are you? And why are you here at this time of day?" He asked me. Not liking his attitude I replied snidely, "Your roommate invited me. Marshall." He grunted obviously not pleased with him inviting girls to his house. Checking me out quickly he ushered me inside. I barely was able to navigate through the house due to the heaping piles of trash that my feet kept bumping into even though I was floating.
Mystery guy went to a room in the back and opened it loudly slamming the door against the wall. A lot of extremely loud cursing and yelling happened after and I giggled in spite of myself. Float-lounging above the couch I messed with a lock of my hair. Minutes later Marshall came out of the room muttering under his breath about 'effing screaming at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.' I flipped over to lay on my stomach as he walked in, to look like I belonged there.
"So, do you know me now?" He asked floating over to float-sit across from me.
"Still no." I said yawning.
"Then why did you come here?" He asked me his cool persona already fading.
"I came to ask you to tell me why I should know who you are." I stated simply.
He sighed. "Let me try and go get something that might jog your memory." He went into his room and returned a minute later with something brownish-grey in his hand. He took it from behind his back and presented it to me. I nearly fainted; he was holding Hambo, my Hambo tied to a second Hambo with a red piece of ribbon.
"H-How did you find that? I lost that y-years ago." I said reaching for the two bears.
"I found it in a stream like 6 years ago but then my ex-girlfriend sold it and I had to go searching for it again and that time some tree wizard was selling it. But you remember it?" He asked handing me the tattered bears carefully.
"I remember mine, yeah. Is that other one yours?" He nodded his head staring at me with such intensity I almost felt bad for not remembering him.
"I guess I'll go ahead and start telling the story," he said sitting at the end of the couch.
"I'll start with the day we met then. It was before the Mushroom War. We were little then like maybe 7. It was a cloudy day so my mom let me out of the house I went straight to the woods because I could be alone there I could stare at creatures and just… explore. And then I heard leaves rustling and I turned around and saw you standing there with your little overalls holding Hambo."
*Flashback*
"Um, hi." I said nervously.
"Hi…."She said back quietly, her short black hair whipping in the wind.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Marceline." She answered baring her teeth.
"Mine is Marshall Lee." I responded grinning.
"Do you want to be friends Marshall?" She asked.
"Sure, but you can call me Marsh." I added.
"Okay, and you can call me Mar-Mar." She said back, grinning.
"Do you want to play Mar-Mar?" I asked holding out my hand.
"Yeah." She said taking my hand and smiling. I smiled back and we took off toward the stream, messing with frogs and fish and whatever else we could bother.
"We've been friends ever since then." I continued.
From that day we played every day and eventually we made our way to making our best friends, best friends.
"Hambo said he likes you." She told me one day while we were up in a tree staring down at the world below us.
"Hambo said she likes you." I said grinning.
"I think your Hambo and my Hambo should be best friends like us!" She cried excitedly.
"Yeah good idea… hmm," I ripped a piece of red fabric off my tattered shirt and tore it in half. "One for your Hambo and one for mine." I said tying the piece of fabric onto my Hambo.
"Up until before the Mushroom War we saw each other every single day. When we were 15. But that's when things started to change."
We were sitting on the beach, at night of course, facing out to the sea.
"Mar-Mar… Do you know how to kiss?" I asked grinning. God, I loved to make her uncomfortable.
"Why do you want to know?" She challenged narrowing her eyes at me.
"I cant ask you a question without you wanting to know why? What happened to the spontaneous Marci I used to know?!" I said with mock horror.
"You asswipe. Fine, yeah I can kiss." She said throwing sand on me. Her hair had grown longer now, midnight blue hair cascading down to her waistline.
I laughed smugly. "It's okay if you cant you know. I don't judge… You, at least," I said grinning again.
"I am not lying! I don't get known in the guy world for nothing you know." She argued back. I felt my jealousy begin to come and show itself.
"Prove it then, you chicken butt." I growled.
"What!" She yelped.
"I said 'Prove it' if your such a good kisser then prove it and kiss me."
"NO!" She screamed turning her head from my serious gaze.
"Well then that proves it. You cant kiss." I said smugly.
"UGH! YES I CAN!" She yelled and I made a "pfft" noise. "FINE. I'll effing kiss you." Victoriously I looked at her smiling. She had turned to face me again. She leaned her head down to mine her beautiful hair brushing my face.
When her lips touched mine I swear it was like being touched by an angel. She hesitated at first drawing back slightly but I leaned back into her never wanting this to end. I pressed my tongue against her soft lips asking for entrance. She accepted and her tongue and mine fought for dominance. I ran my hand through her hair as she knotted her hands behind my neck. I pulled her slowly down on top of me, sliding her over so that she straddled my leg. Instead of going any further though she opened her eyes and backed up slowly until she was on the sand again.
I sat back up. "Well, well, well. I guess you can kiss." I said coolly.
"You wanna go for round two?" I added with a grin.
"Marshall Lee…." She started and I cringed at the use of my full name that she only used if she was mad at me or trying to comfort me.
"Yeah?" And I noticed she was shaking slightly. "What's wrong?" She stood up and brushed the sand off her jeans.
I-I gotta go." She whispered, and ran back towards the woods in the direction of her home leaving me alone and confused on the beach.
"After that day at the beach, you didn't talk to me for like a week and a half. I came by your house every day and your dad said you were sick. The next time I saw you, you were sitting alone at the beach. By that time though the war was really starting to affect Aaa."
She sat alone on the sand, head between her knee's. She looked so fragile, so hurt. And I couldn't feel anything but guilty. I floated slowly to where she sat. She didn't look up when I sat down either.
"I thought you were sick." I said nudging her knee with mine.
"Go away." She mumbled into her leg.
"What's wrong Mar-Mar?"
"Just go away!" She yelled, pulling her head up so I could see her face, which was wet with tears.
"Not until you tell me what's wrong. You know how this works." I said grinning.
She sighed. "Fine. What's wrong? Everything is wrong, everything is changing and I don't want it to. First you had to kiss me. And now my dad says that we have to move to Ooo. Because of this stupid effing war. It's not safe anymore! The humans tried to burn down our forest!" She cried.
"You're moving? To Ooo?" I whispered. 'Oh my god. I'm losing my best friend.' I thought to myself.
"Yes you jackass. And all the while. All I can freaking think about... Is how much I enjoyed kissing you." She looked straight into my eyes then tears running down her face cheeks pinkish.
"Then... why did you stop?"
"Because! Aren't you listening! I didn't want anything to change in our relationship I want to be your friend and only your friend but friends don't kiss each other and all I'm thinking about is kissing you!"
"So what I'm hearing is... All you want to do is kiss me?"
"Oh my glob. I hate you. You're so... UGH! Just get away from me. I don't want to see you anymore. I'm moving. and I don't want to have to miss you even more than I already will. Just get out of my face." With her words my heart broke.
