Chapter 2 - Jokes

Fionna was the first to wake up. She sleepily looked up at Marshall, blushing when she realized her hat was off and he had his arms wrapped around her. She quietly slipped out of his reach and out of the bed. Fionna smiled at the sleeping vampire. Poor guy, no one deserved to be treated the way Ashley treated him. Fionna walked into his bathroom, took off her clothes and stepped into the shower. She didn't even bother to lock the door because Marshall would just find another way to get in. As soon Fionna turned the water she nearly jumped out of her skin. She had forgotten that Marshall liked to take ice cold showers and didn't reset it.

While Fionna was in the shower she heard the door open and knew Marshall had woken up an come in. She heard him rummaging through his medicine cabinet and figured he was probably looking for something to reduce his hangover so she let him be, a few moments later he was gone. Fionna thought it was a bit funny how she didn't mind when Marshall was in the same room with her while she was showering, but had it been anyone else (besides Cake) she most likely would have freaked out a little or something. When Fionna was done showering and got out she found one of Marshall's long t-shirts and a pair of gray boxer-like shorts. She quickly put them on and hurried downstairs where she knew Marshall was.

"Morning!" Fionna yelled as she reached the kitchen where she found Marshall drinking red colored coffee. The vampire grunted and winced in pain at the loud noise. "Hey, hey, keep it down Fi!" Marshall whispered harshly and massaged his temples. "That's for getting drunk." She told him smugly as she dried her hair. The vampire teen just rolled his eyes and passed her a cup of apple juice which she drank quickly. "Your clothes are in the washing machine right now." He told her and she nodded, showing her appreciation. "Guess what we're doing today?" Marshall asked the blond adventuress. Fionna shrugged. "I dunno." She admitted. Marshall grinned through the pain in his head. "Well first we're going to let my hangover pass." He told her. "Then later we're going to adventure in the dark forest and then later-" The vampire was cut off by a loud knock on the door. "Ugh I hate visitors!" Marshall groaned and got up to answer the door.

The vampire king was only slightly surprised to find a small blue gumdrop dressed in royal garb. He was obviously sent by Gumball. "What do you want?" He growled. The gumdrop began to shake a little in fear. "His royal highness prince Gumball wishes me to deliver a message to Fionna." He said fearfully. Marshall hissed and bared his fangs causing the messenger to jump in surprise. Marshall laughed. "You go ahead back to his royal high-ass and tell him that if he wants talk to Fi that he can haul his butt up here to see her himself instead of sending one of his royal subjects to do it." Marshall hissed. The poor gumdrop's legs were shaking and he was quaking in fear. "Marshall!" Fionna scolded him. Marshall sighed, disappointed that the blond girl had ruined his fun, and floated back into the kitchen. Fionna focused back on the scare candy person. "Don't mind him." She reassured him. "His bark is worse than his bite."

What she said seemed to calm the blue gumdrop a little and he continued to deliver his message. "Prince Gumball would like you to come to the candy castle immediately. He wishes to serve you a grand breakfast." The candy told her. 'Cake must have told him where I was.' Fionna thought to herself, slightly annoyed at her sister because Cake had most likely also revealed Marshall's break up. That's probably why PG wanted to see her in the first place, he wanted to keep her away from Marshall. That annoyed her even more. "Can you tell go back and tell PG that I am spending the day with Marshall. Tell him that maybe we could eat together some other time." The gumdrop nodded and and turned to leave but was stopped by Marshall's yell. "Wait!" He yelled and and ran to the door. "Give this to Gumball." He said and handed a note to the gumdrop before he left. "Hey what did that note say?" Fionna asked as she closed the door. Marshall smiled slyly. "Just a little hello." The vampire told her.

*****At the Candy Kingdom********

Prince Gumball frowned at the gumdrop in his presence. "She really said that?" He asked forcibly. The gumdrop nodded. "Did she say anything else?" The candy prince was very angry. He didn't like it when Fionna hung out with Marshall. Especially since he no longer had a girlfriend. The candy messenger shook his head in answer to the prince's question. "No sir. But the vampire King did hand me this." He said and handed PG the note. He opened it up. The prince wasn't surprised that they were song lyrics, he was more surprised at what they said:

LOOKIN AT MY BABY

SLEEPIN LIKE A BABY

BODY SO AMAZING DRIVE ME CRAZY

START FROM THE BED THEN WE OUT HERE ON THE FLOOR

THIS GIRL IS IN FOR A TREAT

~~~XOXOXO MARSHALL ;D

P.S. Fi says hi. :p

Gumball was so mad that he let out a yell that shook the castle walls.

*******Now back with Fionna and Marshall.**********

Marshall held Fionna bridal style as he flew through the clouds towards the evil forest. They had been traveling in silence when Marshall's ears twitched. "Hey Rabbit did you hear that?" He questioned her. Fionna nodded. "Yeah it kinda sounded like a girl screaming." She told him. "Should we check it out?" Marshall shook his head. "Nah it came from the candy kingdom, I'm sure the banana guards can handle it." He told her. Marshall kept floating forward until he was right over the evil forest. "Ok blue, you ready for this?" The vampire asked the blond girl. Fionna gave him an excited smile. "Heck yeah I am!" She yelled and pulled out her silver sword with a brown handle that Marshall had given to him. "Great! 1... 2... 3... Go!" Marshall yelled and dropped Fionna into the forest below.

"Wooooooooooooooo!" Fionna cheered as she flew towards the ground. Her hair flew into her face making it difficult to see, but she quickly pushed it inside of her hat. Fionna squinted through the trees and the air rushing at her face, trying to spot something evil to stab at. It probably would have been a good idea to wear goggles or something but oh well, to late now. As she got closer to the ground she could vaguely make out a big green looking thing moving through the forest and growling. "Target acquired!" She yelled and flew in the direction of the monster. Fionna's sword connected with the monster's back and a loud roar escaped from the beast's mouth. Marshall arrived just in time to grab Fionna and float back before the monster had a chance to hit the blond adventuress. Fionna laughed in delight at the sudden rush of adrenaline that she had come to love. Marshall observed Fionna's choice of target. "Tree ogre..." He said looking over the tree covered monster. "…nice." Marshall quickly flew himself and Fionna out of the way as the ogre launched himself towards the two adventurers. "Ha! Missed!" Marshall taunted the monster.

The vampire king placed Fionna on the ground and floated upwards. The blond adventurer ran around the ogre's legs and stabbed here and there at his feet. She wasn't trying to do the primary take down at the moment. Right now she was being a distraction so Marshall could get the monster to fall. It wasn't her favorite part of the fight but she was willing to let Marshall have this one. "Vampire kick!" Marshall shouted and gave a hard kick to the monster's face. The ogre roared in pain and fell to the ground. Fionna quickly jumped on top the monster and cut off its smallish head with one slash of her sword. She held up the ogre's head in triumph. "Haha Marshall, check it out!" She shouted to the vampire. Fionna realized that Marshall was no where in sight. "Marshall?" She said the name to nothing but air. "Ow, ow! Fionna, help!" Marshall cried from somewhere close. Something was really wrong. Marshall never asked for help, and he never used her full name. Fionna began looking around frantically and found Marshall on the ground near the dead monster's shoulder, clutching his side and trying his best not to let out a scream of pain.

Fionna threw down the monster's severed head and ran over to the pained vampire. "Marshall! Marshall what's wrong?" She asked quickly. "U-ugh g-get it off." He pleaded. Fionna looked over the vampire quickly. "Get what off?" She asked. "There isn't anything on you." Marshall lifted up his shirt to his chest and pointed to his side. It was covered in a weird red liquid. At first Fionna thought that it was Marshall's blood but knew that it couldn't be that because Marshall's blood was black. "What is that stuff?" Fionna asked him, looking at it closer she saw that it had come dripping out one of the dead monster's wounds. Marshall cringed as he spoke. "Just get it off.…" He muttered. Fionna tried to just wipe the liquid off of Marshall's skin but when she touched it the liquid burned her hand. "Ow!" She growled. "Don't touch it!" Marshall scolded her. The adventuress opened her backpack, got out her water bottle, and soaked Marshall's side until all of the liquid had washed off.

Panting, Marshall sat up. "Thanks Fio." He said gratefully. Fionna didn't respond, instead she looked at the mark the liquid had left; it was red and yellowish in color, kind of bubbly where his skin was peeling. "That's a nasty battle scar, Marsh." She told him. The vampire looked at it. "Now that you mention it, it does hurt." He said. "Will you kiss me and make it all better?" He asked with his best puppy dog face. Fionna rolled her eyes and smacked Marshall's head. "Marsh what was that stuff." She asked him as she began to doctor his wounds with the medical supplies in her backpack. "Demons blood." Marshall said. "One of the few things that can hurt me." Fionna nodded. "We should lay off adventuring for the rest of the day, we don't want this to get infected." She told Marshall as she finished patching him up. He immediately jumped up, wincing a little at the pain that surged through his side. "What?! Fi I'm perfectly fine." He insisted. "Are you sure?" Fionna asked. "Completely sure." Marshall said. Fionna said ok, she didn't want to miss anymore awesome adventures anyway.

It was beginning to get dark when Marshall kicked an evil mountain troll off of a cliff. "Another one down!" Marshall cheered. Nearby, Fionna did the same thing with a different troll. "Kicking evil troll butt is always algebraic!" Fionna yelled with delight. Marshall nodded and looked up at the sky. "It's getting dark, I should probably take you home." He told the blond girl and began walking towards the forest which they came from. Fionna frowned and quickly followed him, putting her sword in her backpack making sure it wouldn't fall out. "I don't wanna stop adventuring yet." She pouted. Marshall chuckled. "Trust me Fi you don't wanna be in the evil forest at night. That's when all the really scary monsters come out." He told her before disappearing into the shadows. Fionna slowly turned around, looking for any movement that would reveal Marshall's location. She knew he was just trying to scare her. "Scary monsters huh?" She asked boldly, still looking for any sign of Marshall. "Like who?" For a second she thought that he was being serious but that quickly passed. "Like me!" He yelled. Cold pale arms suddenly shot out and wrapped around Fionna's waist, pulling her back until she hit the very monster that had 'attacked' her.

Of course it was Marshall Lee, letting out a satisfied laugh when Fionna gave out a small scream. "Marshall!" She yelled and tried to squirm out of the vampires grasp, but to no avail, the more she squirmed the tighter he held her. Marshall continued to laugh. "Its no use." He teased her. "I've got you, now I'm gonna suck your blood!" Marshall lightly scraped his fangs across Fionna's neck, trying to scare her just a bit more. Fionna found this a strange feeling. It hurt just a bit, because Marshall's fangs were sharp, but at the same time the feeling of his teeth scraping her neck, his strangely warm breath on her skin. There was just something about it that made her get goosebumps. Quickly, Fionna jerked out of Marshall's grasp before he had time to feel the bumps on her skin. The vampire gave her a confused look. "Geez Fi chill I was just teasing ya." He said definitively. Fionna sighed. "Let's just head home." She said.

"Hey can I stay over at your house again? Cakes staying with lord M and GMO is at football camp." Fionna asked him. Marshall nodded. "Sure thing doll face." He said with a smile. "Now come on let's go."

When they reached Marshall's house Fionna walked in and collapsed on his new (more comfortable) orange couch. Marshall sat next to her. "Hey Marshall." Fionna said softly through closed eyes. "Yes blue?" He answered her. "Will you sing for me." The vampire was slightly surprised by her question, but decided that he would sing for her. "Anything for you baby." He said, earning a kick in the stomach from the blond girl. Marshall got up and floated up to his bedroom, where he grabbed his acoustic guitar instead of his bass, then floated back down. "Okay Fi." He said when he was back on the couch. "What do you want to hear?" Marshall asked as he tuned the instrument. Fionna was silent for a moment or two before answering. "I want to hear something new. Something you haven't played for anyone else before." Marshall looked at her. "So something Ive never played for anyone else? Just you?" He asked. Fionna nodded. "Just me." She said.

The vampire thought for a moment before getting into playing position. "Ok. Here's a song just for you." Marshall had never played this song for anyone. Probably because he had come up with it just now. It was about how Ashley was gone, and how Fionna was there to help him, and (as sappy as it sounded) how she made him feel. Before singing, Marshall turned on the stereo that was resting on top of the coffee table and set it to record.

'The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting

Could it be that we had been this way before?

I know you don't think that I am trying

I know you're wearing thin down to the core'

Marshall sang this slowly and softly, he could tell that Fionna was tired. The blond girl opened her eyes to look at the vampire, a little confused by the song lyrics.

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear its true

Because a girl like you's impossible to find

You're impossible to find'

Marshall got a bit lost in his music and began to sing his heart out. He sung faster and louder, like he was by himself and no one else could hear him.

'This is not what I intended

I always swore to you I'd never fall apart

You always thought that I was stronger

I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Oh, but hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

It's impossible

So breathe in so deep

Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep

And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap'

Marshall looked over at Fionna bit her eyes were closed. She was asleep. He slowed down again.

'And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find'

Marshall turned off the stereo, took out the tape and set it on the table next to the stereo then looked back at Fionna who was softly snoring once again. The vampire chuckled and gently picked up the you adventuress, smiling as she subconsciously put her arms around his neck and held onto him. It was similar to holding a child. "Come on Blue bunny." He said softly. "Time for bed." He carried her up the stairs and into his bedroom, then set her down on the bed. "Marsh?" The blond girl mumbled. Marshall turned around to face her and threw one of his long T-shirts at her. "Go change." He said to her. Fionna groaned and trudged to the bathroom. While Fionna was changing, Marshall took off his pants and his shirt then began to inspect his wound. It seemed to be healing all ready which was a good sign.

The bathroom door opened an Fionna walked out wearing nothing but her undergarments and the long shirt Marshall had given her. When she saw Marshall in nothing but his boxers she kind of just ignored it. Under normal circumstances he probably would have blushed or been a bit shy to sleep in the same bed as him, but at the moment she was too tired to care. The blond girl collapsed onto the bed and got cozy underneath the sheets, Marshall climbed into the bed next to her. Before long both of them were silently snoring.

(Hey guys! As promised Wolfpoet and I made this chapter longer. Neither of us own Adventure time or the song lyrics. The lyrics are from a song called "Fall for you" by Secondhand Serenade. Please leave a review to tell us how we did or what we could improve on. Remember that this story is co-written with Wolfpoet ((Don't forget to check out wolfpoets stories!)) See y'all till next time.)
