Marshall Lee's P.O.V
Fionna blushes and she nods. "Me too." I smile and shrug.
"Doesn't really do us any good, you are engaged to some stink after all," I said with a smile. Fionna laughs and gets the ring from her bag.
"Yeah, and the stink proposed with this old thing." We laugh and Fionna puts it on her finger. "I love it. Not as much as I love him though." I smile and Fionna does as well. "Why don't I pack my bag, and talk to Cake real quick, explaining some things, then I'll stay at your house for the night. So we can make sure we're absolutely ready before we go to the Nightosphere. Okay, Marshy?" I nod.
"Let me help you explain this whole thing to Cake," I said. Fionna laughed and nodded. She starts to climb down and open the window leading back into her room. I float down with her and she goes over to the drawer Cake sleeps in. She shakes Cake until she gets her semi up. Cake's eyes flutter around and then she turns back to her side.
"Just go back to sleep, Fi," mumbles Cake. I go up to Cake, not the best way to start this conversation, and hiss. Cake just swats her claws at me and I duck out of the way.
"Say something insane, like, something that will upset her really bad," said Fionna.
"No way, not from me!" I said. "This is a conversation we want her to like me in remember? If we start if off with me making her angry it's all downhill from there." Fionna laughs and nods.
"What should I say?" asked Fionna.
"Well, on the topic we're engaged," I said. Cake flutters to the sound of my voice and the word engaged used in the sentence.
"Looks like that's enough," said Fionna with a smile. She walks up to Cake ear and starts out in a whisper. "Hey Cake, guess what?" Cake turns facing Fionna.
"What is it, Baby?" asked Cake, probably just talking in her sleep.
"I'M ENGAGED TO MARSHALL LEE!" shouted Fionna. Cake jumps up, somehow knowing where I am and starts to claw at my face. "CAKE STOP!" I yank Cake's tail and push at her while Fionna tried to tear the totally enraged cat off my face. When she was off my face Fionna wrapped her arms around Cake. I shake my head and let out a sigh of relief.
"How's my bread and butter?" I asked. Fionna laughed and shrugged.
"Not bad, your ultra-healing should get rid of it by morning," said Fionna judging my face. I laugh and Cake stares at us, awaiting an explanation. Fionna and I contain ourselves and stop laughing. Fionna and I look to Cake with semi-serious faces. "We're not really engaged, Cake, it's like a show. For his mother. At the moment we're purely dating, I believe." I nod, but Cake still doesn't seem to get what we're talking about.
"She's saving my buns as always," I said with a smile. "From returning to the Nightosphere and having to rule."
"That's why I had you make the dress, Cake," said Fionna with a smile. Cake smiles and notices the ring on Fionna's finger. She grabs Fionna's hand and twists it around before she yanks her hands free from Cake's grasp.
"The ring sure seems real," said Cake.
"It is, so we'd have something to tell my mother when she asks how we got engaged," I said.
"How did it happen?" asked Cake.
"He sung something," said Fionna. "I still remember it too." I start blushing. She still remembered it? I mean, of course I still remembered it, but it shocked me that she still remembered it.
"Oh so romantic," said Cake, not approving.
"Cake, it was, it really was! So, just some support please. It's not like we're really engaged or anything, so calm down," said Fionna.
"And Cake, would I let anything bad happen to her?" I asked.
"Yes," muttered Cake. "You have before."
"Okay, that was one time, and that was my stupid ghost friends. William's going to be behaved tomorrow," I said. Fionna put her hand to her face as Cake spun around Fionna.
"No way! That creepy ghost tried to kill us! I'm not letting her go near him again!" said Cake protectively. Fionna tries to wiggle free from Cake and is clawing at her.
"Cake, I'm going to be fine! Marshall Lee wouldn't let that happen to me twice! Would you, Marshall Lee?" asked Fionna. I shake my head. "It's only the one of them anyways."
"We'll be back in two to three days' time. Nothing bad is going to happen. Glob, cat, trust me," I said. Cake sighed and unraveled herself from Fionna. Fionna smiles and hugs Cake. "Thank you."
"I'm trusting you because Fionna trusts you. If you try any funny business Marshall... I'll..." Fionna gives a small laugh and smiles.
"Come on, Cake, help me pack my bag," said Fionna dragging Cake to go help her. I smile and float above Fionna's bed. Fionna grabs the dress from her drawers and carefully puts it in her adventure bag. She grabs everything else she needed with the dress and puts it in her bag. She walks around, grabbing some more clothes and other things. She put her demon sword in her slot hole and more things like a sealed jar with the tears from the Giant's head she ripped off.
When she finished packing her bag Cake kissed her on the cheek. Fionna smiled and hugged Cake. "I'm going to miss you, Baby," said Cake. Fionna smiled and walked over to me. I nod and Cake opens the window for us. I pick up Fionna by the shoulders and Cake hugs Fionna one last time. While doing such she whispers to me, "Be careful with her." I nod and we float out the door heading to the caves.
When we get to my house I put Fionna down on the porch and I open the door for her. Fionna smiles and goes through, then dumping her bag on the couch. "This will be my first time spending the night at your house, Marshall Lee." I blush and start laughing.
"We should do something fun," I said. Fionna smiled and walked up to me. I smile and she kisses me. I kiss her back as she goes to unbutton my shirt, but somebody had to come early. William came floating through the door and came straight up to me.
"Duuuuude, still with the mortal chick?" asked William. I nod and William turns to Fionna. "Niiiiiiiiiiiice... real nice." I sigh and walk into the kitchen, grabbing some snacks. Strawberries and some apple slices. I put them in a bowl and float back out into the living room. I put the bowl on the couch and Fionna takes a strawberry. She throws it to me and I suck the red out of it. She smiles as I throw the now grey strawberry into Fionna's mouth. "Where am I crashing?"
"On the couch?" I said. Fionna looked up to me.
"Where am I sleeping?" asked Fionna.
"You can sleep in my bed. I'll float somewhere else. It's not like I need to lay on it to sleep. I'll hover above the chair in my room," I said.
"Why sleep somewhere other than your bed?" asked Fionna.
"Because you're sleeping there," I said.
"So? Just because we'll be sleeping in the same bed doesn't mean we'll do anything," said Fionna with a smile.
"Oooooh!" said William.
"Oh shut up you stupid, ghost," I said with a smile.
