Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is a story just for fun.

Dinner went smoothly. Marceline told her father about her recent adventures with Finn and Jake.

"So tell us a little bit about yourself Hunson." Said Betty.

"Tell her to mind her own business! Suck her soul out!" Hissed the voice in Hunson's head.

Hunson ignored it. He took a deep breath.

"Ok. I'm going to tell you about myself and how I met Marceline's mother." He said.

Marceline perked up a little. She had never heard her father tell her about how he met her mother.

"For starters I'm a demon. I hail from from another dimension know as the Nightosphere. I'm the ruler over there. Anyhow about a little over a thousand years ago before I became the ruler of Nightosphere I enjoyed visiting the Earth a lot. I enjoyed visiting the Earth because it was a way better place then the Nightosphere and to get away from my father Herbert Abadeer." Explained Hunson.

Everybody leaned in and listened with interest. Hunson continued on.

"Anyhow my father kept wanting to put me in charge and take this family amulet saying it was my destiny and duty. He also told me to marry a demoness and produce another heir. He annoyed me to no ends, so I escaped to Earth to get away from him. It was during this one time on one of my visits that I went to a Halloween party that I first met Marceline's mother Linda." He said.

"Go on tell us how you met." Said Marceline.

"We'll this party was at this fancy hotel. I went inside the place was packed! I made my way to the dance floor and that's where I saw her. There was this women dressed in a black cape and fake fangs in her mouth. She had black hair and this presence about her that just drew me in. She saw me and called me over. We started dancing. Then some slow music started playing and we slow danced with one another. After the dance we went over to a nearby bar. She introduced herself as Linda and I introduced myself. She told me she was dressed as a vampire. She looked at me and said I looked like I was a creepy lawyer. I laughed. I...don't know why. I had never felt like this with any other women." Said Hunson.

"It was love." Said Betty.

Hunson continued on.

"Anyhow Linda went outside to get some fresh air in a nearby alley. I finished my drink a few minutes latter and went outside to join her. Outside I found her against a wall with two thugs pointing knifes at her! I angrily snarled and charged forward showing my fangs. I used my super strength to beat them away and send them running. Linda looked at me in shock then in admiration. She walked up to me hugged me and kissed me on the check! Your incredible she said. I blushed. I was shocked, usually when anyone saw my fangs or my super strength they usually ran away." He said.

Marceline was amazed with her mother's bravery and her father's act of kindness. Hunson continued on.

"Linda gave me her address to her apartment and told me to come visit her any time. The days that followed me and Linda grew closer to one another. I told her about myself and the Nightosphere and she told me she wanted to be a musician. A couple of moths of dating each other we decided to get married. A few months after that Linda became pregnant." He said.

Marceline smiled at Hunson and he smiled back.

"Marceline was born a few months latter. It was one of the happiest moments in my existence. Unfortunately my father found out about this and became infuriated. He didn't like the idea of his son having a romantic relationship with a human and having a child. He transformed into his monstrous form and beat me into a pulp. He then gave me the amulet and told me I was the ruler of the Nightosphere. He then went to take a million year vacation." Said Hunson.

He took a deep breath and continued on.

"My new position as ruler kept me busy. I didn't have many opportunities to vist Linda and Marceline. On one of last trips to Earth Linda told me she was afraid that a war was fixing to break out and she was afraid for Marceline who was seven years old at the time. I told to relax that everything would be alright and that I would visit again soon. I returned a few weeks latter to find the apartment and the city in ruin. I later learned that war had broken out." He said as a small tear rolled out of his eye.

He quickly wiped it away and continued on.

"For several years I searched for Linda and Marceline. After six years of searching I found out Linda was one of the millions of people who died of poisoning from the bombs in the war. I was full of despair. For the next few years or so I searched for Marceline. I eventually found her. She was a teenager by then." Said Hunson.

Marceline remembered her father finding her. It had been a little bit after Simon had gone crazy and became the Ice King.

"I embraced my daughter. I decided to take some precautions to protect Marceline and make her stronger. I used my powers to enhance a vampire bat. I told Marceline that I was going to make her stronger and that she was going to feel awesome. I had the enhance bat bite her on the neck. This turned her into a vampire." Said Hunson.

Marceline rubbed the two little bite marks on her neck.

"I tried to live together for awhile, but me just grew apart, but now we've managed to put things back together." Finished Hunson as he smiled at Marceline.

"That is quite a story." Said Betty.

"It's not your fault dad you tried your best to be a good father." Said Marceline.

"You can't beat yourself up about the past. You go to keep on moving." Said Simon.

Hunson smiled at everybody.

"Thank you all for those kind words." He said as he stood up, went over to Marceline and hugged her.

He then gave Simon and Betty a separate hug. Inside the Nightosphere Amulet the shadowy figure gaged a little bit.

"Shows of affection are disgusting and so unfitting for a demon whose title is Lord of Evil! Enjoy your little moment, because I'm fixing to ruin it for you all. I might not be able to attack you directly, but I have other ways to create chaos and negative emotions. Then I will be free!" Said the shadowy figure.
