Oh and this story I've made Marshal and Fionna one year apart, making Marshal still the oldest and at the same time making the couple seem cute.
Few months later
Inside Marshal Lee and Gum Ball's room
Marshal tiredly went up to his top deck bed when suddenly Gum Ball grabbed his pajama down. "The heck- What is wrong with you Gum Ball?" He growled. Marshal hated the feeling of being stressed out at night and being stopped from sleeping at the process. "I really want to sleep, so stop…" Marshal yawned, frowning at Gum Ball's face. "Wait your going to sleep at the top deck? I want to sleep there!" Gum Ball complained. "Well what do you want me to do? I was here first Bubba." Marshal replied. "You sleep here at the lower bed." Gum Ball said pointing at the bottom part of the double deck.
"You're kidding me right? What is this camp?" Marshal face palmed, looking at Gum Ball's kiddy whiny face. 'You always wanted to be on top.' Marshal thought. "Whatever." But surrendered anyways not wanting to have a head ache at night for tomorrow is a new day, first day of high school he has to be well not peppy, but just to have the right amount of energy to keep him from looking like a zombie. "You mean it?" Gum Ball asked. "Umf…" Marshal nodded, getting his pillows from the top deck. "Yipee!" Gum Ball clapped, climbing up to his desired bed.
"I don't get you Bubba, it's the same…" Marshal yawned, placing his pillows on the comfy bed before resting his drained body. Because of what Gum Ball told him few months ago he started remembering his child hood years. 'Face of a bad boy, clothes like a rock star, moves like a movie star, too cool for someone like me, that is Marshal Lee.' Marshal softly sung and after smiling he fell asleep.
Marshal's Dream
"Oh my golly?! You're Mar-UMFMKCBWSK." A girl tried 6 year old girl tried to scream to the world but mouth was later covered and pulled into the bushes. "You Shush." Marshal hissed, hugging the girl to stop her from any unnecessary movements that will make his fans discover where he was hiding. "UMFKSQTV." The girl tried to talk but was too suffocated with Marshal's hands. "Shush." He said one more time, this time looking at her eyes. Blue eyes met crimson ones and then the girl fell silent and sweated a little. The two waited for the sounds of rapid running and fan screaming to fade before they can agree that everything is safe but Marshal being a bit impatient after 3 minutes asked the girl. "Hey, wanna climb up the tree?" He said pointing at the tree nearby.
'Umfk.' But since the girls mouth is still covered Marshal could only blink at her. "I'll take that as a yes." He smiled, which made the girl's cheek red. "Okay okay, I'm going to take my hands off and you're not going to yell right, for the sake of our legs?" Marshal requested. "Because I've tried running and it didn't get me close to safety. Lesson learned: A real man should not run from their problems, they should hide from it." He said and when Marshal removed his hands from her mouth the first thing he heard from her was the girl's sweet giggles. "What are you doing with your life?" She said looking at him awkwardly then climbed up at the nearby tree silently to avoid being noticed by the fan girls and fan boys. Yes Marshal even as a cute little 7 year old, attracted a lot of women, making girls fall for him and boys go gay because of his face and indeed making him dangerous to look at.
"Come on slow poke." Marshal said, offering his hand to the girl when he reached the tree's branch. "Hmph." The girl pouted but took his hand anyway. "Pfft. Those girls won't get anywhere near me." Marshal said, looking down from the tree, Indian sitting, putting his elbow on the leg he rest his face on the right hand. "Your name?" Marshal asked, facing the girl to see her in awe, staring at his face. "M-m-me?" The girl shook her head from the sudden realization.
"Mimimi? That's a weird name." Marshal said. "No that's not my name, it's Fionna." The girl said introducing herself. "Really? You look more of a Lee to me." Marshal said, looking down. "Why?" Fionna asked. "Because you look good next to Marshal. " Marshal said, looking at Fionna and Fionna looked at Marshal; there was a short pause then laughter. "Flirt." Fionna said, chuckling with his out of topic lines. "Kidding. No seriously Fionna is a nice name." Marhsal smiled. "It's fine, I find it awkward when I don't laugh in a conversation." Fionna smiled.
'And that was the day I've met my best friend, Fionna Mertens.'
'I miss you Fionna… Remember the time when I asked why you wear baggy clothes when we were 13?'
"Hey why are you wearing baggy clothes?" Marshal asked tugging her baggy jogging pants and baggy shirt. "Because… I want to be comfortable?" Fionna nervous laughed then looked at Marshal. "A he he he… You're not buying it aren't you?" "Nope." Marshal scanned her. "I just don't want to show-" Before Fionna could ever finish her answer Marshal pinned her down to the grass and tucked the shirt to her back. "Aha!" Marshal said like a detective who figured out a case.
"Marshal Lee!" Fionna yelled. "You have a figure then any of your siblings, Fionna your-" Marshal tried to finish his conclusion but was cut off. "Hot? Eew. Don't go fan on me Marsh. I go baggy so I wouldn't reveal the soda bottle shape okay? I feel awkward." Fionna said pushing Marshal then looked away. "What? You should feel confident about that Fii girls who'd tease you would go envious and crazzzy." Marshal said holding his cheeks while blushing.
'It would be cute to see Fii so… Cute.' Marshal thought. "Stop it" Fionna said, still not looking at Marshal. "What happens now if you took of your glasses? Those eyes would make girls claw you but they couldn't cause I'm here." Marshal proceeded. "Stop it." She repeated and shrugged stubbornly behind him. "I bet you would look awesome with your hair down from that bun." Marshal said with a smile. "Stop it." Fionna sharply said.
'You were so beautiful that I couldn't stop complementing you… I'm sorry.'
"What was I ugly before? Is my face and style to embarrassing to be Marshal Lee Abadeer's best friend." Fionna said, stomping away. "Fii!"Marshal called out. "I'm going home." Fionna said leaving Marshal alone. Then at that day late at night the Merten's heard someone knock at the door. "Who is it?" Finn yelled to the door, while playing his favorite video game Karate Rock Stars where the players do Karate while making killer songs and dancing to defeat their enemies with the dance doom fusion, a birthday gift to him from his father. "It's me…" The guy said. Finn asked himself for a bit 'Who would knock at 9:30 pm and is a boy… Oh I see.' Finn grinned.
"Wait here buddy, I'll go call her for you." Finn said opening the door for Marshal and offered him to sit at the white and comfy sofa in their living room. After a few minutes Fionna came downstairs, wiping her eyes, wearing blue polka dotted pajamas and walking down with white bunny slippers on. "What?" Fionna said looking at him angrily. :{ "I just wanted to tell you that, you weren't ugly, you weren't even pretty in my eyes when I found out what you look like with girl clothes and no glasses." Marshal said but Fionna's eyes twitched at this. "Excuse m-" Fionna tried to fume up but was cut off when Marshal hushed her with his finger on her mouth. "Because I've never pictured you as an ugly girl and I've always thought of you as the prettiest girl that I have ever met." Marshal continued then gently put down his finger. "You mean it?" Suddenly Fionna's eyes sparkled, no one has ever said that she was pretty, eye to eye, he was sincere. "Don't make me explain why." Marshal said, shyly putting his hands under the pants pocket and turning a bit to the side.
'That is when I realized that I love you… But couldn't tell you.'
"Don't go mushy on me Marsh." Fionna playfully punched Marshal's elbow which Marshal laughed at. "I'm sorry too, it's just that…" Fionna started to get nervous touching and un-touching her fingers to one another. "?" Marshal looked at her questionably. Then Fionna took a deep breath and sang a song. "Hey Marshal, your such a great friend and I thought that the first time we met was the best thing I've ever experienced~
Because I am just Fionna a girl who's such a nerd, a geek, a girl who wouldn't look good next to Marshal Lee Abadeer
Chorus: Face of a bad boy, clothes like a rock star, moves like a movie star, too cool for someone like me, that is Marshal Lee.~" Fionna blushed and slowly looked up on the gaping and wide eyed Marshal. "Wow." He snapped himself out of his Fa la la Fionna land and then gave her a small smile.
"What?" Fionna blushed with his expression. "I do this when I'm nervous and when I can't say what I wanted to." Fionna explained not wanting to look weird then she already was to Marshal. "Really?" Marshal looked at her then gave her a sly smile. "Okay. I've been singing the song a couple of times lately and I wanted you to hear my side." Fionna confessed. 'I didn't know I've been hurting you Fionna.' Marshal thought. "You made that song for me?" Marshal asked staring at Fionna like she was an amazing professional singer which she wasn't and practically choked on some parts of the song due to nervousness and lack of confidence.
"Yes." Fionna said, looking down at her feet hiding her blushing face for she couldn't take it being so "girly" in front of her best friend. "I'm touched and at the same time hurt." Marshal said, frowning a bit. "Why?" Fionna asked, gathering strength to face again those crimson eyes of his. "Because you're hurt that is why I'm hurt." Marshal said, facing Fionna's beautiful blue orbs that were even magnified because of her glasses. Fionna winced at this and blushed even more then there was a pause till both of them just stared at one another looking at each other's eyes like a trance. "Well- I'm not hurt anymore." Fionna said, breaking the silence.
"Hm?" Marshal looked at her questionably then raised his right brow. "Because… You told me I was pretty for who I am… That made me feel special." Fionna said, smiling sweetly at Marshal and then he blinked several times. 'Wow your gorgeous.' "I did?" Marshal joked, knowing that this would tease her. "Don't go mushy on me Fionna." He remarked. "I just did stupid!" Fionna stated and punched his elbow again and then looked at Marshal and then Marhsal looked at Fionna and then chased after each other around the house at 10:00 pm.
'Hah. She even chased Finn, Jake, and Cake because they've been watching us from the living room table the whole time.'
End of Marshal's Dream
"Aaaahhhh…" Marshal yawned, stretching his body for it's already six o clock in the morning and he has to get up or else face Butter Scotch's furry of throwing alarm clocks at him even if she never done that Marshal opened his eyes not waiting to see that coming but opened his eyes to see Gum Ball's face near him. " HWAAAH." Marshal screamed. "What are you doing Gum Ball?!" Marshal complained, seeing Gum Ball's face close to his. "Your friggin giving me a friggin heart attack." Marshal said, closing his eyes. 'Am I still asleep, what a nightmare.' Marshal face palmed. "The horror! The horror Gum Ball." Marshal said shooking his head. "You were sleep talking again!" Gum Ball said happily clapping his hands like he was watching his favorite pairing's moment happen on TV.
"What?" Marshal said opening his eyes and finally sitting up. "You were like. : "I've met Fionna… You were so pretty and you chased down Finn and stuff…" Gum Ball said trying to imitate Marshal's sleepy yet manly voice. "Uhuh." Marshal nodded, turning his back on Gum Ball, cleaning his bed thinking. 'Okay, that's all nothing serio-' "Then you said you love Fionna." Gum Ball continued making Marshal turned and exercised his neck side to side to make it snap swiftly. "G-G-Gu-Gum Ball…" Marshal grinded his teeth, cracking his head back to face the recently smiling and now shivering boy.
"I didn't mean to hear that! It was your f- UWWAAAAH! Marshal stop! No! Someone help me! Mother! Dad! Bubble Gum! Candy People! HEEEELLLP!" Gum Ball yelled in panicked, trying to run away from the death glaring red eyed teen wearing black pajamas who seems to be scaring the shots out of him. "What are you saying?! Don't break the fourth wall!" Marshal yelled, grabbing Gum Ball's shirt then tried strangling him but restrained a bit for he was still his friend, his nosy and goody two shoes FUUUUREEEENNND. Marshal growled in his thoughts as he reached for a Packaging tape and attempted to stick it to his mouth, hide him in a closet, buy some garabage bag, and wash hands with alcohol afterwards, but stopped when Butter Scotch went inside their room. "What's going on here Marshal and Gum Ball?" She asked, finding Gum Ball at the floor with Marshal stepping his foot on Bubba's chest while holding a Packaging tape on his right hand and stretching the tape with the left. "Um Good morning. " Marshal smiled, like there was nothing wrong. "Hi mom." Gum Ball gulped nervously. 'I could feel his toes piercing my skin' Gum Ball thought to himself as he looked at Marshal who was now putting the tape behind him after Butter Scotch raised her brow.
"Oh this? This… I was teaching Gum Ball you know… How to not use a Packaging Tape like you should and use it like this, not the other way around and that it can SUFFOCATE you when taped "accidentally" in a "wrong" "not on purpose" events." Marshal explained at Butter Scotch and gave her the best convincing 'nothing to see here' smile. "Yeah. Not buying it. Get downstairs and eat your breakfast." Butter Scotch shrugged then gave room at the door for both of them to leave. "Oh and Marshal." "Yeah?" Marshal turned around. "Leave the jack knife at your drawer, there are plenty of bread knife's to use at the kitchen when eating." Butter Scotch smiled sweetly.
"Okay." Marshal nodded going back to his room after glaring at Gum Ball. "Shut your mouth Bub." Marshal said to him after placing his knife inside the room. "I will. It will be our secret, you can trust me." Gum Ball said. "Don't ever tell anyone specially my sister." Marshal glared some more. "Big sis Marceline?" Gum Ball asked. "Oh no, Marc Klein, yes I mean Marceline!" Marshal sarcastically said then face palmed at Gum Ball's stupid question. Because Marceline is not a girl who would giggle about this but she is the girl who would giggle about this and post it on her accounts in every social networking site since Marshal is her favorite and youngest sibling she would totally freak and interrogate him which he hates. "It's over. My mood is ruined. Thanks a lot Blow Pop!" Marshal growled.
Arthur Ashton Academy
The school known for their fabulous festivals and parties because of the creativity of the student body and as old fashion as the school may look having the old red bricked walls instead of those smoothly cemented ones the institute still looks fascinating. A school that contains dormitories, grocery stores, a park, and a lake making it look like a small village except the buildings even the school itself was modernly constructed for the students to chill out and have fun making every one specially those who have dorms comfortable.
"Woah." Fionna gaped, observing the school's beautiful structure. "It's so symmetrical, huge, and- and awesome!" She exclaimed. "Dork." A guy who just passed by coughed before laughing at the girl. "Oh… Hello Ignitus." Fionna venomly greeted the school's jock and bully, Ignitus Wilston. "Eew. Did she just talk to me, stop it freak? You're wasting saliva trying to talk to me because I won't talk to you." Ignitus laughed.
"You just did." Fionna stated shrugging her arms and stared at Ignitus with her 'bring-it-on-little man' stare :\. "What did you say?" Ignitus grabbed her sweater a bit. "Hmph." Fionna glared at him then looked at his hands. "Haha, I was just scaring you. Bye loser." Ignitus said letting her go more like pushing her from him. "The nerve." Fionna hmped. She frowned knowing that if Ignitus, her grade school classmate is still there, then that means his 'pack' of violent and 'beach-y' "wolves" are still around the campus. Sitting down at a nearby bench Fionna looked down on her hands to check the time. "Hmm. I'm twenty minutes early, maybe I should read a book." She thought, putting out her Science book and studied in advance.
"Pfft. First day of high school and I got called dork how memorable." Fionna said, silently reading her book. "Hey did you heard?" A girl said. "What?"Another girl replied. "I heard that there will be two new hotties in school!" A girl behind Fionna squealed from the news. "Really?! " A girl infront of Fionna said.
" Yeah, the other one looks like a bad boy that is so sexy." A girl commented but hair was pulled by a girl next to her. "And the other looks like a cutie who is so innocent looking, how adorable." The girl said giggling while the rest of girls blush all at once. Failing to focus when she heard a couple of people gossiping in front, behind, side by her, Fionna scratched the back of her head. "Come on! I complement something I was told a dork now I read a book ignored that I was on the bench first and you come with your high healed smurf shoes and gossip in my face like I wasn't there about a seemingly heart throbbing guy?! What is wrong with you people can't we all just study without being mean to one another?" Fionna snapped, she was really not in a good mood ever since the days that Arthur Ashton Academy was still the school for her, thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mertens. "Wuh oh- mental break down maybe?" The gossiping girls laughed. "Darn it." Fionna stormed out. 'I hate school, this is why I don't want to come back because… I don't feel like staying here I just feel so sad and lonely almost every day. ' Fionna thought, running faster not even looking at anyone at all and didn't care where her feet may lead her, she just wanted to go far away from those people and like she has lucky feet Fionna bumped into someone.
"Oof- I'm sorry." Fionna said to the person she bumped into. "Watch we're your going." The guy said sounding like he wasn't in a good mood either. "I'm really sorry." Fionna said, closing here eyes. "Yeah… Can you please get off." They guy blinked at the girl. " Huh?" Then Fionna blushed, realizing that she actually fell to the ground with the guy under him.
"Oh my…" She said, wide- eyed with what she did. 'Oh no, you did not just did that.' Fionna gulped, she was above a very very attractive young man. "I'm sorry!" She said and then the boy just nodded. "Bye." Fionna said and got up, walking away shyly. "Hey-"The guy stood up and called her. "Those glasses… the clothes and the flustered attitude it seems familiar." The teen whispered but the girl who was called didn't turn around.
"Walk away Fionna." Fionna said to herself shutting her eyes tightly blushing hard and holding her Science book close to her. "Fii?..." The guy called again. "Marshal?" She said stopping from her tracks and slowly turned around "OH MY GOLLY MARSHAL!" Fionna dropped her book. "FII!" Marshal ran to her and hugged Fionna who hugged back.
"Marsh, I missed you." Fionna said sniffling. "Of all of the places, you were just here all this time?" Marshal said rubbing his forhead at her shoulder. "Marsh…" Fionna tilted her head on Marshal's. "Fii." Marshal said softly while the girls, the teachers, Gum Ball and principal were all wide-eyed and mouth reaching the floor. "Hey guys, this is my best friend Fionna, I'm new here my name is Marshal Lee Abadeer, don't underestimate me because I can hurt you with my eyes closed and hands behind my back, be good to her." Marshal broke of the hug and introduced himself to every witness.
"I saw her hurt before she bumped/ fell to me, is there anyone who dared?" Marshal said eyeing everyone and stopped when he looked at the gossip girls who laughed at Fionna few minutes ago. "Did anyone hurt you?" Marshal asked Fionna. "Well…" Fionna also starring at the girls thought deep and told herself 'I forgive you' "Nope, no one." She smiled at Marshal. "K." Marshal nodded and off the two they go leaving haters hate, Gum Ball faint, teachers blinked, and the principal rub his eyes and the rest completely dumbfounded. "What just happened?" Gum Ball said blinking his eyes several times. "The geek fell on top of Marshal, Marshal called her and they ran for a hug like those in romantic movies and cuddled each other, terrified us and went off skipping happily." The principal said to him. "Oh okay." Gum Ball said blinking several times and took head ache medicines after.
Lucky feet indeed eh?
A/N: Okay who wants to hear the song Fionna in the story sung? P. S I've made Ignitus a bully that tortured Fionna for years in Aaa. Warning I do not own any of the Adventure Time Character's nor the show itself. Because if I did I could have made cross over's and made Marshal a rock star. Awesome head bangs yo!
