Marshal stood on Fionna's porch and let the warm morning sunlight bathe his skin. It heated him but didn't burn him, this made him smile. He sat in one of the bean bags and pulled his ax bass (which he had left at Fionna's) into his lap he plucked the old strings once but then suddenly jerked his hand back as his finger stung.

"What the?" He mumbled looking at his finger.

along the tip was an open cut. A small drop of blood dripped onto his pants

"Aw, crap." He yelped sticking his finger into his mouth and then walking into the house and began to look for a bandage.

When he found one he placed over his finger and out of habit kissed it (This will be brought up again!) He suddenly heard wild laughs coming from the front yard. He walked back outside and saw Fionna rolling down a hill. Fionna looked up at Marshal and laughed.

"Hey Marshal!" She yelled getting up and brushing off her skirt. "Want to roll down a hill with me?"

Marshal smiled and nodded. Walking over to her, the two ventured up the hill (I always hear yodeling when I read this line) Marshal sat in the grass and stared at the hill.

"Its been a while, what am I supposed to do?" He asked.

Fionna smiled and moved marshal onto his stomach and turned him sideways.

"Now what?" He asked.

Fionna smiled and put a foot on his side and kicked him down the hill. Marshal rolled down the hill laughing hard as he did so. Fionna rolled after him. Marshal laughed and closed his eyes in an attempt to stop the dizziness.

"Oh Marshal, your knee is bleeding." Fionna said.

Marshal looked down and saw his knee was scraped. Fionna pulled a tissue out of her bag and wipes his knee. For a minute Fionna's features had shifted to a young women with long black hair and pale skin much like his own. He blinked the image away quickly.

"Something wrong Marshal?" Fionna asked as she pulled out a bandage and putting it over the scrape.

"Nah, its just rolling down a hill, it reminds me of when I was lil getting all scraped up and my mom and dad would fix me up." He said with a sigh. "My mom was nice, till she turned into a jerk and ate my hamburger."

Fionna giggled.

"A hamburger." She giggled causing Marshal to blush.

Marshal turned away and kissed his hand and tapped his knee.

"Marshal?" Fionna asked.

"Hm?" He asked turning to face her.

"What were you doing?"

"Well mom and dad usually kissed my cuts when I was little, I guess its just a habit." Marshal answered.

He suddenly felt something soft graze his knee. he looked down and saw Fionna lightly kiss the bandage.

"Better?" She asked.

"Much." Marshal laughed as the two walked back up the hill (Yodel break!)

Neither of them noticed a little black cat watching them...

Marshal Lee walked along side Fionna. A pale white cat with black ears came out of no where and purred as it rubbed up against Marshal's leg. Fionna giggled and continued to walk. Marshal picked up the cat.

"Time waits for no man Marshal Lee." The cat hissed the disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Marshal coughed and sputtered as Fionna turned around.

"Something wrong Marshal?" She asked.

"N-no, I'm fine." Marshal said as he ran to catch up with her and watched the child head towards a small valley of mud-puddles.

Marshall thought about what the cat had said. He didn't have much time to do all the things he set out to do. Another horrifying thought struck him. If he didn't find someone to love then he would be turned mortal again but as a 1000 year old. He would die instantly, but he could also get killed in the short amount of time he had to be a mortal teen. Marshall shook the thought away and looked up to see Fionna jumping from puddle to puddle. She looked up at him and smiled. Marshall waved back and walked over to her. She jumped into a puddle in front of him and soaked the legs of his pants with the muddy water.

"Come on Marshall!" She said hopping to another puddle.

Marshall smiled and hopped into the puddle.

The two hopped in puddles for a good five minutes before Fionna spoke up again.

"Are you going to PG's street party tonight?" She asked

"Hes having another one?" Marshall asked.

"Yeah, he has one like every Saturday." Fionna informed him. "But their usually in the evening so you were probably asleep when he had them."

Marshall nodded and hopped into another puddle.

"Hey Fionna?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"What would you do if I died?" He asked

Fionna looked at him and put a finger to her lip.

"I would go to the Night O'sphere and bring you back." Fionna answered.

Marshal smiled, he knew Fionna wasn't lying. She would bring him back if he died but maybe she wouldn't have to. She might even be the one to prevent him from being killed in the first place. Marshal nodded. As long as he was with Fionna the odds of him getting killed were pretty slim.

Demon Queens POV

"Watching those two play is actually kinda cute." I admited, hoping I was alone for the moment being.

"The boy has grown in size and age but never in attitude." An old women's voice said from behind me, making me flinch.

"He was once one of them. That is the reason." I said getting up from my throne and walking down the steps contected to it, trying to get away from the women.

"And yet you forget, you were once one to." The women said with a slight smile. "Oh how you two would play your silly games. And make silly Bets."

"That is all in the past, it means nothing to me anymore!" I snapped. "I was a foolish child back then but nomore!"

"I've heard from a source how seriouse you current bet is. So you mean to tell me, that the life of your best friend means nothing to you?" She asks sounding a bit shocked and kinda sad.

"We're not friends anymore!" I growl. "Now what is the real reason why your here? Is it to get me to call off the bet? Cause I won't!"

"What? I can't visit my favorite daughter anymore?" She asks, but I can tell from the glint in her eyes that she means something else.

"No mother! I told you that 1000 years ago!" I yelled stomping my foot. "And with that being said, your pleading for your son's life is just a waste of time."

The women bowed her head and slowly left, and leaving me in my empty castle, for once wishing I wasn't alone for the moment being.

A/N: Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy! Well there will be more action in the next ch. I swear!
