Fan Fiction: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake 7
Chapter 3
I knew it Cake thought after watching Fionna and Marshall Lee's make out session under the waterfall.
After Fionna had supposedly left early to go train with Ivan, Cake had grabbed the last pair of binoculars and followed her. Last night's talk had been laced with lies, and Cake was going to find out what her best girlfriend was up to. But she had never thought that it would be something like this.
Fionna didn't trust me enough to tell me about her and Marshall Cake complained to herself. But then she thought about it. If Fionna had told Cake then, Cake would have flipped out, just like she had when Marshall Lee had entered the clearing in the first place.
And when Fionna had tackled him to the ground and started kissing him, Cake knew exactly why they were both there; and she had to admit that Fionna really did love the vampire.
"But he's a bad boy! Marshall doesn't really care about my Fionna, he just wants something" Cake had whispered to herself watching, with great distaste, as Marshall Lee sang his song to Fionna.
He doesn't even mean all that Cake had thought to herself. But Cake knew she was fooling herself. She saw the look the couple shared so many times. And when Fionna wasn't looking Marshall Lee would just stare at her.
And not just a regular stare. He would have a certain look in his eyes, and it wasn't bad. It looked more like… Cake couldn't place it. It was almost like a mix between good and bad, like love and lust. A longing, but caring enough to refrain himself. A purpose.
Cake sighed. Both of them were in love alright. She would just have to deal with it. But it was very hard for her to 'deal with it' when Marshall Lee was putting his hands all over Fionna. Every now and then Cake would silently whisper "Oh no, you just didn't put your hands there!" or "Uh uh, boy, what are you thinkin'?"
But she didn't reveal herself to stop it. She knew Fionna wouldn't do anything too extreme. Hopefully. And when the two got in the pool together Cake felt like an intruder. Everything that they did here was private to them, obviously. But she couldn't move herself from the spot and stop watching.
Anxiously, she watched as Fionna and Marshall Lee disappeared under the spring waters. Nervously, she watched them resurface and lay up against a rock under the falls. And uneasily, Cake watched as Marshall Lee started taking off Fionna's shirt.
No, Fionna don't, No! And just as Cake was about to jump out of the forest to stop the young pair, Fionna grabbed her shirt and had slowly slid it back down, pulling Marshall Lee's hands back around her waist again. Cake tried to read lip as Fionna and Marshall Lee talked.
An almost scowl like expression came upon Marshall Lee's features, but only for a brief moment. And then he was back to kissing Fionna as if nothing had been said or done.
Cake was so proud. Oh, my little Fionna is growing up. Cake finally decided to leave the two alone and let them enjoy the company of each other. She knew exactly how they felt, and knew that Fionna had control over the situation.
Yes, Cake was going to ask Fionna about her and Marshall Lee, but only if Fionna came true about it. Yes, cake was still mad that Fionna hadn't told her right off the bat and yes, she didn't like Marshall Lee being the one, but like she had said before, she would learn to deal with it. And walking away through the forest, Cake couldn't help but admit that they were at least, if nothing else, a cute couple.
Fionna came in through the door of the tree house later than she had wanted to. She didn't want to make Cake suspicious, but Marshall Lee had insisted that she stay a little longer with him in the pool. Today has been an eventful day Fionna thought to herself smiling.
Before she had come walking in, Marshall Lee had flown Fionna over to the desert sands on the far side of Aaa to roll around in so that she would look as if she had been training with Ivan.
Also, Fionna reeked of death and vanilla. Cake would have picked up the sent a mile away with her cat nose. So Fionna had fought a little with Marshall Lee to work up a sweat. She couldn't help but smile, because by the end of the fight they were kissing again.
Fionna managed to wipe the blush of her cheeks just before she came into the room. "I'm back!" Fionna said. Cake popped her head around the corner to the kitchen.
"Fionna! You're filthy! How did the training go?"
"Oh, great! Ivan learned different moves on the internet and tried them out during the fight. He beat me, like, seven times." Fionna held up seven fingers just to put an emphasis on it.
"Well that's great Fionna. Hungry from all that fightin'?" Cake asked.
"Well, yeah! I'm starving, what we having tonight? Oh, yeah I forgot. Omelet with catnip on the side" Fionna smiled "Your favorite." Cake gave a nod "You bet it is. Now go clean up so that we can eat."
"Hehe, Ok." Fionna disappeared up the latter. Cake looked at the spot where Fionna had been standing. She lied right to my face. A little discouraged that Fionna still hadn't confessed, Cake turned around to finish the two omelets, one with catnip, one without.
Fionna splashed cool running water over her face, getting the dirt out of her hair and washing her hands and arms. She toweled off her face and brushed her golden locks as fast as she could. Fionna felt bad about lying to Cake, but she was still scared that she would be mad. Besides, Cake probably wouldn't understand what Fionna felt for Marshall Lee.
Looking up, Fionna saw herself in the mirror.
Her face was a wreck. Her lips had little reddish patches were Marshall Lee had bit them while kissing. Her front bangs were rough and tangled looking, even though Fionna had brushed them. Probably from the desert tussle Fionna thought to herself.
Pulling back her hair, Fionna noticed what looked like a hickey mark on her neck. Marshall! Fionna inwardly groaned to herself Cake could have seen that. Opening the cabinet, Fionna found some makeup cover-up. Taking a dab of it, she quickly concealed the mark.
Grabbing the brush again she went through the process of brushing her bangs again. Then, putting her hat back on, Fionna put on some fresh clothes, and slipped down the latter back into the kitchen.
Cake had just put the omelets onto the plates and was sitting down by the time Fiona came walking in. Cake looked up at Fionna.
"Good, you're cleaned up. Now come on and dig in. made yours just how you like it."
And with that Cake dug into her omelet, cutting out huge chunks and stuffing them in her mouth. "Mmmmmm, I can taste the catnip!" she said, her pupils dilated.
"Ummm, is guhd" Fionna said with her mouth full. She swallowed another bite. Neither of them said anything for a while. Cake decided to start up a conversation, to see if she could get Fionna to spill.
"So, you going early tomorrow to train with Ivan?" Cake asked.
"No" Fionna said simply "Ivan said he wanted to take a day off, you know, to just relax." She stuffed another piece of her omelet into her mouth "So, I'm free tomorrow. Do you wanna go adventuring or go see if Prince Gumball needs any help with anything?"
"Are you sure you wanna go see Prince Gumball? I mean, maybe we should go see Marshall Lee instead." Cake said nonchalantly.
"What?! Why would we go see him? He doesn't need any help with anything…" Cake could see a light blush on Fionna's cheeks. "Let's just go see Gumball."
"Hmmm, I guess you would want to go see him. You do have a major crush on him and obsess about him all the time. Maybe you should just ask him out already." Cake knew that Fionna didn't have a crush on Gumball, but maybe if she thought Cake thought so, then she would tell the truth about Marshall Lee and her.
"What?! I do not! You're just making that up. I don't obsess about him…" Fionna looked down at her plate. "I don't like him that way Cake."
Cake stared across the table at Fionna. She just couldn't seem to get this chick to spill her beans. And she couldn't just say something about the two. She would get caught for watching the whole thing that morning and afternoon.
So Cake asked as laid back as possible "So then, who do you like?"
Fionna lifted her head up and looked at Cake, a faraway look in her eyes. "No… no one. I don't… like anybody…" Resting her elbows on the table, Fionna smiled a goofy smile and stared off into the distance "Anybody… body, mmmmm"
Cake snapped her fingers in Fionna's ears to wake her up from her daydream. Fionna sat up with a start. One thought had led to the next and before she knew it Fionna was again with Marshall Lee, up against the rocks underneath the waterfall, lying on his hard body.
She looked over at Cake who had a questioning face. "Nobody, huh?"
Fionna blushed. She didn't know what to say. Instead she asked to be excused, and ran up into her room before Cake could question her even more. She had almost gotten caught, again! She had to be more careful when talking to Cake from now on.
And what was that conversation for anyway? Cake was just talking about Gumball, and how Fionna liked him. Uhgggg! Fionna didn't have a problem with Gumball, and he was a good friend. But that was all they were, friends.
And why did she all of a sudden change it over to Marshall Lee? Unless. Fionna thought it over. Cake was home when she got home, but what about the rest of the day? Could Cake have possibly followed Fionna, and seen her with Marshall Lee?!
The idea seemed so crazy, but Fionna knew that Cake knew something was up between her and Marshall. Climbing into bed, Fionna made a plan. As soon as Cake went to sleep, she would put that plan into action.
Fionna knew Cake was asleep even before she heard the deep breathing coming from her bed. Quietly, and taking great care to keep from standing on the squeaky boards, Fionna walked her way down to the lower level of the tree house.
Silently and slowly Fionna made her way over to the couch where B-Ma lay sleeping. Her digital eyes were shut, and a slight sigh came out when she breathed in. Fionna opened the panel on B-Ma's chest and pushed the red button to the right of the game control plug in.
"Voice authorization and password, please" a mechanical voice said. "Alvin's hot juice box" Fionna whispered. There was a slightly loud ding-ding, and then the voice said "Welcome Fionna."
A green projector screen popped out of the little camera lens on B-Ma. She moved a little, but soon got still again. Fionna knew that B-Ma recorded everything she saw. If she had seen Cake leave right behind Fionna and arrive home right before her, then she would know.
Rewinding the day's video all the way back to that morning, Fionna flipped through B-Ma's daily routine. Rebooting in the morning, saying good morning to Cake and Fionna in the kitchen, going to clean the sleep mode out of her circuits.
And then finally, saying goodbye to Fionna as she left the house to go see Marshall Lee. Watching carefully, Fionna saw Cake in the kitchen, cleaning up. Then B-Ma walked over to the window to tap on the glass because there was a lady bug on it.
Fionna could see herself walking over the hills towards the desert. She had done that in case anyone was watching from the house. It seemed to have worked, because she heard B-Ma say, more to herself that anyone else, "Bye Fionna! Have fun with Ivan! Beat his buns."
B-Ma then continued to roam around the house for the next five minutes, getting into various amounts of stuff in such a short time. Then, Cake called B-Ma into the living room.
Fionna leaned in, watching as B-Ma stood up and walked into the kitchen. Cake had a pair of binoculars in her hands.
"Hey, B-Ma, I'm going... um, bird watching." Cake looked down at her "Watch the house, ok".
B-Ma did what must have been a salute "You can count on me."
Cake smiled "Good."
Walking out, Cake closed the door to the house. B-Ma ran to the window with the lady bug still on it. "Bye Cake! Bye! Heheh bye!" Cake stopped after walking a few feet and stretched up high. B-Ma had to lean back just to see the top of her.
She was looking through the binoculars in the direction Fionna had gone. After a few seconds she put them away and stretched back down. She started walking exactly the way Fionna had gone. Fionna scowled So she did follow me.
B-Ma started tapping the glass, trying to get the lady bugs attention "Do you hear that lady bug? I'm in charge now, so you have to listen to me, and…" B-Ma continued to tell the bug everything. Fionna fast-forwarded the video to 30 minutes before she came home.
B-Ma was jumping on Fionna's bed. "Hey!" Fionna whispered to the B-Ma on her bed "Get off! That's my bed!" The screen just kept bouncing up and down. I will have to talk to B-Ma about that Fionna thought to herself.
All of a sudden a door opened and shut.
"B-Ma! I'm home! It's Cake." B-Ma stopped bouncing. She quickly jumped down from the bed and down the latter. "Cake, Cake your home."
Cake came into view of B-Ma's camera. She looked like she had been walking through some trees of some kind. That was two strikes against her. If Fionna found one more thing then Cake had to have been there and…
"B-Ma, I'm goin' to go take a shower. Although I hate water I hate smellin' like sweat and dirt even more." Cake brushed her fur off with her paws. A single leaf fell off her onto the floor. It was green and big, from a tree that only grew near the Doorcrag Mountain.
Cake was caught. Fionna couldn't believe it. All this time she thought she had been so careful, when it was all just a lie. Cake knew everything.
Fionna didn't need to see anymore. Quietly shutting off B-Ma, who was snoring softly, Fionna retreated back up the latter and into her bed. She could hear the soft purr snores of Cake. Maybe she's not mad Fionna thought to herself After all she didn't yell at me when I came home, and if she saw me with Marshall, and didn't stop us, then she can't be mad, right? She sighed.
Fionna decided to finally come clean to Cake tomorrow morning. How she was going to bring it up, she didn't know, and she would try to get Cake the cat to see her side of things. But right now, Fionna just wanted to sleep. Laying her head on her pillow, she fell asleep almost immediately, but her dreams were haunted by an upset Cake, and a handsome young vampire.
