Narrator's POV

Marceline was intrigued at how her spell didn't work to time travel back into the past. It brought her to another dimension that erased her from the cartoon world of Adventure Time. She continued contemplating what she had done wrong to get here. Maybe she misspoke the chanting words, or maybe she didn't light enough candles, who knew? At least she had Jessica to comfort her.

"What's it like being a vampire?"

"Well, it's not all that's cracked up to be." She began feeling more and more relaxed. "You have no feeling left in your bod, your heart stops beating, and you feel dead, but you get to fly, become invisible, and suck the red from anything, which to me is pretty fun."

Jessica was no longer afraid of the gorgeous nightmare. They were connecting through good conversation, as would most people start off.

"Do you ever miss being human?"

"Sometimes I do…." Marceline hesitated thinking back once again into the past.

Memories began to flood her mind of her childhood with Simon and her father Hunson Abadeer. It was then that she realized that she never actually had a human childhood, only human as a baby until she was chosen to rule the Nightosphere. That was when she became the Vampire Queen.

To avoid emotional exhaustion, she decided to change the subject to get her mind off of that.

"Hey, you know you look a lot like me."

Jessica's eyebrows scrunched up again in confusion.

"Really?"

She knew that she has resembled the dark enchantress thanks to her friends, but Jess didn't fully get the jest of it. As she gazed at Marceline, she did notice the same facial structure and hair and skin color. She did indeed look like her.

"Heck yea! I would show you, but I'm invisible when it comes to mirrors."

"But your hair is longer than mine, plus, I don't really act like you or talk like you." Jessica stated.

"You're pretty close enough."

There was a long pause as of what to say next. The vampire's cold blue eyes dug into the soul of the human as if as prey, which startled her to try and come up with something fast.

While waiting, Marceline thought long and hard about how to get back home. She soon came up with the idea that if she can come up with a spell to travel to the Nightosphere, which is also another dimension, then maybe she can use it to get back to Ooo, but somehow, the more she sat in that peaceful room of a human's house, the more she wanted to stay. She didn't really feel like going to that hot hell hole to deal with her crazy manipulative dad either.

It occurred to her that she had always wanted to be human at the beginning of her life, but Abadeer took her human childhood away, so she could never experience it. Being in the human world with other humans, not just Finn, the only human in Ooo, to associate with was something she wanted more than ever.

"Ummm…. What's it like in Ooo?"

Suddenly, an idea popped turning on Marceline's mental light bulb.

"Would you like to find out?"

The girls eyes widened in astonishment. There was a way to get to Ooo? How?

Jess's mouth curled into a smile as she thought about her previous wishes to travel to Ooo and meet the characters that live there. Now it was about to become reality.

"Yes, I would."

Marceline was hesitant about taking the girl to Ooo through a spell that she can only hope would work, but nothing was stopping her this time.

"Ok cool. You got any bug milk?"

"No, no one made bug milk, yet. We have regular milk though from a cow if that'll work?"

"Hmmm…." The vampire thought again. The spell would only work with bug milk. Maybe she could try to use the same spell that she used before that got her wound up here in the first place. If it's used again, it might open the portal back to Ooo.

"I got it!" she began "We already have candles lit, and they're the right color, so all we need is a red apple and something to chop it with."

Thankfully, Jessica's father had kept several of his war tools from being stationed to Panama as a soldier. Since his early retirement, he kept them all in the garage, especially his trusty machete.

"I'll go get them."

Jessica fled downstairs outside to the garage, snatched the rusty machete, and on the way back up, she took a perfectly ripe red apple from the fridge. As soon as she was reunited with Marceline, the process began.

"Ok put the apple on the floor." Commanded the Queen. She did as told.

"Now, when I say the chant, you and I will stab the machete in the center of the apple together, and that should take us to Ooo."

Jessica nodded in understanding and took out the machete, placing it directly over the apple.

"Huvoso gometcum…." She began placing her hand upon the girls around the blade. "Firtess num huvesfiritum…"

There was a short pause.

"Ooodum!"

They both thrust the machete in the unfortunate apple as quick as a flash and backed away from it. Bleeding juices oozed out of the skin of the fruit in a translucent color all over the floor.

Suddenly, the color of the juices started to darken as did the apple. It blackened as if it had been touched by death himself and spread out all over the carpet forming a perfect giant black circle. Jessica became concerned of what was happening for it was nothing like she had ever seen before, not even in all the horror movies she had seen.

Marceline pleased with the spell actually working grinned.

"Hold onto me." She said holding her hand out for the human girl to grasp. Jessica took it and held onto Marceline as they both plunged deep into the dark abysmal hole. Nothing but darkness was in sight, at least for a few minutes.

Soon a light came at the end of the black tunnel growing brighter and brighter the closer they got to it. When they became engulfed in the light, they were transported to the post-apocalyptic world with a candy kingdom, a wide open space with Finn and Jake's tree house in the center, and an ice fortress in the distance. They made it to Ooo.

Jess could not believe what she was seeing. It was all real! In the candy kingdom she could see Princess Bubblegum looking out her tower window to gaze at her people. All around them were bits and pieces of the last remains of the life of humans on the ground. Every single detail matched from what she had seen in the TV show and she was amazed.

"Wow."

Marceline laughed as they soared through the skies looking down on Ooo. She was completely satisfied that she was able to find a way back home. Now all she had to do was put her plan into action.

"Come on and I'll show you my place."

"Yea, Ok." The excited girl agreed, enjoying every bit of scenery as she could. She wanted to make this trip as memorable as possible.

Passing the Ice King's castle, they crossed the ocean waters towards the cave where Marceline's house was. The cave was damp and dark, pretty suitable for a vampire to live and thrive. Jessica looked at the house wondering how Marceline even got a house there in the first place. She must have been really good at building things, but then again, she has been around for a thousand years.

She set her down onto the front porch and floated to get the door.

"Come on in."

The girl walked in and immediately took notice of her surroundings. The place wreaked of what smelled like sourdough combined with rotten milk, and the place didn't look too clean either. Dust was around the house and so were bits of red splatters on the wall of what she hoped to not be blood. It looked like Marceline wasn't really around much to tidy up the place, but even if she were around, she probably couldn't give a damn.

Jessica was grossed out a bit because not only was she a person who had no tolerance for slobs, she also had no tolerance for bad hygiene. Marceline who had no concept for the use of a tissue always flicked boogers around her home, and Jessica saw this thanks to the show, which made her nervous about what else she left lying around the house. It worsened the nauseating knots forming in the human girl's stomach, but if Marceline liked it, then maybe Jess could find the strength to get used to it for now. Of course, if she tried to say anything, who knows what Marceline could do to her? She had to be as nice as possible.

"Nice home." Choked Jessica as she tried to stop breathing through her nose and more of her mouth. It was a failed attempt that left her a sour taste.

"Thanks. Here let me give you the tour." She flew to the doorway that led into what seemed to be a kitchen. "This is my living room, and over there is the kitchen."

She followed her throughout the house to Marceline's room, which was just as disgusting as the rest of her home.

"This is my room slash music studio, but don't ever look at my music or my personal junk alright?" Her voice chilled at the end and her eyes stared daggers at the innocent teen. Jess swallowed her fear and just nodded.

"Good. Now over there is my bathroom and there's my closet." She pointed to the other places and then stood back to face her.

Oh how she couldn't wait for the tour to be over. The girl was so anxious to get out of this junkyard out into the world of Ooo and sight-see everything.

To take her mind off of the smell, she thought about what she would do first when she left the cave. Should she go see Finn and Jake first, or go to the candy kingdom? Or would she go scamping around the Nightosphere and meet Marceline's real dad? There were so many options to choose from that the decision became more difficult as time passed, so difficult in fact, that Jess failed to see Marceline floating towards the exit.

"So yea, take care of my home when I'm gone."

Immediately, those words snapped her out of her trans. Gone? Why would she leave?

"Wait!" The vampire stopped to look back. "You're leaving?"

"Yea, you wanted to see Ooo, right, so here you are."

"But where are you going?" asked the confused girl.

"I figured I might hang around in your world for a while."

"What if something happens to me while you're gone?"

Marceline sighed in irritation. "Ok, how about I turn you into a vampire so you can protect yourself?"

Silence crept upon the two girls as they both were lost deep in thought. Jess had a hard decision to make. She could be living dead and live life immortal in the most fantastic world that she always dreamed of, or she could be alive and go back to her boring world on Earth. The choice was clear.

"Sure. Make me a vampire."

With a sinister grin, the dark angel swooped down to her until they were both face to face. The coldness from her pale blue eyes started to make Jess second-guess her decision, but she was too frozen with surprise to say anything.

"Ready?" she whispered inching towards the raging pulse in her neck. The human closed her eyes bracing herself for the bite. It felt to her as if she were back at the doctor's office when they were about to stick a needle inside her to get blood, only this one was in a different location.

Suddenly, a sharp searing pain jabbed into her throat causing her to slightly jolt, and in an instant, it vanished. Opening her eyes, Jess looked at the vampire fearlessly as if she started to see the world from a new perspective. Her skin she felt began to turn coldly numb and even paler than before, and her heart she felt slowed its rapid beat until it beat no more. The canine teeth at the front of her mouth she could feel push out of her gums into fangs. The transformation was complete.

"Congrats! You're now officially a vampire." She began "I guess I'll be on my way."

"Wait!"

"What?"

"What if my parents come home and realize it's not you?" Jess began "And what if the people of Ooo come looking for you?"

The punk rock star laughed aloud. "Do you really think they will notice any difference?"

"What do you mean?"

"We both look alike, and now we are both vampires. I can just pretend I'm you and you can pretend to be me for a while."

This idea pleased the newly vampified girl.

"Ok, my parents will be back in three days, but if they come back early, just act human, which means don't float, or turn into anything scary, or do anything that would make them think otherwise. Ok?"

"Yea, yea. I got it….Marceline."

And with that, she left. Jessica smiled at being called Marceline. This was just priceless.

Since she was now a new vampire, she wanted to try out her new powers, but unfortunately the real Marceline left before giving her any tips or advice on how to activate them. All she could do now was figure it out on her own, and fast before the awful smell of this place upset her stomach more until she throws up.

Looking down at her feet, she closed her eyes, and concentrated hard on imagining herself floating in the air. The meditation was so great that she could feel her feet fall down untouchable from the floor, yet, a little shaky at best. She needed to fly in order to get out of this cave, so she practiced a little more by floating her way out of the house and outside putting a little more effort into her height. In no time at all, she was able to keep a steady flight through the air, which led her to leave the cave and head towards the candy kingdom.

The cool air blew back her long black hair as she stared down excitedly at the world she dreamed of. Taking a huge risk of her flying, she curved a sharp circle in the air, and surprised that she didn't fall, she yelped with joy.

In the distance she could see a little patch of blue and yellow in the green of the fields.
