DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ADVENURE TIME.
Marshall's P.O.V
The moment I said the first hello.
"Marshall, it is Gumball. Whatever you do, do not mention my name. Fionna must not know I am calling you. I know Fionna is at your place right now. It is the closest shelter she could find in this multi-storm. So please do not mention my name." Gumball said all that.
I have to think of a person, any person. "Hi Kyle." I pretend to be talking to one of my bandmates. As I said that I peeked over my shoulder to see Fionna try to balance the plates on forks.
"Ok good, thanks Marshall." Bubba replied.
"So what's up?" I asked him as casually as possible to keep up the act.
"Fionna should have told you my very IMPORTANT mission by now, am I correct?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah, why?" I replied.
"Well, what you don't know Fionna's birthday is this Friday and everyone including Melody Prince, Lord Monochromicorn, Cake and myself are planning a huge surprise birthday party for her. Why do you think Cake decided to stay at LM place for one week? So this is why I asked her to deliver a message to the Melody Prince in Melody Kingdom to provide musical entertainment." Bubba said.
"You know I can just do it for you." I asked Prince Bubba.
"I know you and your band are capable in performing on Fionna's birthday but we need her as far away from the kingdom as possible. We need as much time as we can get to give Fionna the best Birthday party ever." Prince Gumball explained.
"So, where do I come in?" I asked him
"Your job is to follow Fionna to Melody Kingdom and make sure Fionna does not come back any earlier than Friday night. We need as much time as we can get to make it perfect." Gumball stated.
"Okay, I will do it… For Fionna…" I mumbled the last part to prevent Fionna from overhearing but loud enough for Gumball to hear it.
"Great, everything is just as planned. See you on Friday." Gumball said goodbye and hanged up.
I put down my phone and returned to Fionna. I saw my dining table has a tower of plates, forks, knives and food.
"I am surprised, the tower is actually standing." I said to Fionna whose face is filled with concentration.
" Okay, almost ….. and done." She placed a strawberry on the top of the tower.
"My masterpiece~" Fionna felt proud of herself.
"You know, you have to clean up this mess right." I can't help but burst her bubble.
"Yeah I know." She sighed and followed by removing everything and dumping them back in my fridge.
"So you said something about going to the Melody Kingdom, right?" I "casually" asked Fionna.
"Yes, I was tasked to deliver a message to the Melody Prince. I wonder why can't Prince Gumball just call him or send him a text with his phone." She pondered a bit.
"You know Gumball, he is most probably too busy trying to save his citizens to make a simple phone call and ask you to do his dirty work." I replied.
"Hey rude, he is trying his best. So why did you ask?" She asked me.
"I was wondering if I could tag along." I scratch my head.
She gave me the look. She knows I am keeping something from her.
"Sigh… I broke one of my axe guitar string and I need to go to the Melody Kingdom to get some." I am technically not lying to her.
"Why can't you get some more nearby? I know a few places that sells guitar strings." Fionna suggested.
"Well I could but Melody Kingdom has the BEST instruments and supplies for the instruments. So I am coming with you." I gave a legit reason to go with her.
"Fine you can come along, we leave tomorrow morning. But if you ever faint again, I am not rescuing you." She said.
"Hey that was one time." I looked away in embarrassment.
She gave me the "Are you serious look?"
"Okay one of the few times I have fainted. But that was because I was really hungry, it was not my fault." I grumbled.
"Whatever you say, Princess Marshall. I am going to sleep on your bed. I hope you got a softer bed. It felt like solid stone the last time I sat on it." Fionna yawned and climbed up the ladder to my room.
As much I would like to sleep with Fionna, but I know my undead life is a little too precious when Fionna is cranky and tired, plus she has a sword that may and may not seriously injure me. So I went and slept on my couch more like hovering above the couch while I sleep.
