"Yeah." Wait why did I say that no shitshitshitshit!

Fionna turned to him pausing the home made movie, "What?" She looked him in the eyes. I must be hearing things.

WHAT THE HELL DO I SAY calm down all you said was the she was cute you can do something breath.

He relaxed a little still not sure what to say then it clicked, "I-I said you were a cute kid, wonder what happened?" smooth stutter dude.

"Hey! Rude!" She playfully punched his arm then started to climb over on him. "Take that back." She found herself on his lap punching his chest.

"Nah. I'm having too much fun." He laughed as he blocked her punches then a cat burst through the door.

"Hey Honey Buns I'm back!" Cake yelled.

"Hey Cake!" She got off of him and went to hug her sister.

"Thanks Marshall for looking after her," She hugged Fionna but still gave him an evil glare, "but it's late and I don't want to sound like I'm kicking you out, but I'm kicking you out."

"Cake that's-"

He didn't know what came over him but he felt like he needed to agree with the cat, "No Fi she's right it's late and I should be heading home." Marshall got up and set his empty plate aside, "Had fun Fi, see ya."

Fionna gave him a confused look as he left, when the door shut she heard Cake say something.

"What did you say?"

"Oh I was just saying that I interrupted something didn't I. I mean you were on his lap."

Fionna's face turned red. "What No! We weren't doing anything we just watched movies and made some pancakes. He's just a friend Cake."

"That sounded like you're trying to convince yourself." the cat smirked

"It's not like that."

"Maybe not right now but the way he acted, telling me I was right, that is not like him."

"What are you talking about Cake?"

"That boy loves you, I don't know if he's even figured that out yet or not, but he his over the moon for you."

"No way, I bet you he still sees me as the little girl he first met." She crossed her arm, not knowing how to feel about this, Marshall was her best guy friend and she didn't want to ruin that, but even she couldn't deny the new butterflies in her tummy when she saw him.

"Oh my good Glob Fionna nearly everyone in Aaa can see that probably Ooo now too."

"If you 'know' he likes me so much then why are you so rude to him?" She did air quotes.

"Ok firstly I said love not like, big differance there Girly, and secondly no one will ever be good enough me to be ok with."

"What are you talking about?"

"What I'm saying is that you are my baby sister and I never want to see your heart broken, so I end up acting like a bitch to the boys as a test."

"A test?"

"If there willing to put up with that to be with you, they will never leave."

Fionna had no idea what to say. In Cake's own weird way she was protecting her.

Marshall was nearly home but couldn't stop thinking of Fionna.

"Glob what is wrong with me she is just a friend an amazing and beaut-Great now I can't even control my mouth! UGH!" He facepalmed and he was flying.

"It's no secret that she's pretty and brave, but I shouldn't be constantly thinking about her, I shouldn't want to always be with her or hold her when she's sad I shouldn't want her to Love Me So Much..."

He stopped mid air. He said it. He actually said it and he didn't know what to do. He just started to float down and sat criss-cross in the tall grass, just staring into his lap.

"I love her." He held his head in his hands. Memories started to flash in his mind one after another all showing him slowly falling.

"Hey Marshall help me with this level I can't beat it."

"Nah, not a fan of games."

"Pleeaaasssee Marshyyyy" She gave him her big blue puppy dog eyes.

"Fine."

"Marshall Help Me!" They were in a battle with a weird zombie thing in a dungeon, it was dark, her sword was nowhere to be found, and it was closing in.

He ran to her and used himself as a shield, "I'm already dead Fi run!"

"MARSHY!" She was blind all she could hear were his screams and the monsters. She had to run and find something to fight back with anything, then she tripped over a metal thing and fell.

"Fi YOU GOOD?!" He yelled in between grunts and punches.

"I'm Fine I think I found a sword! I coming to help move out of the way!"

She just started swinging the thing around with force, "Fi on your left!"

She swung and hit it dead on. She had killed it, Fionna collapsed.

"Fionna!" he rushed to her checking her pulse. He sighed in relief. He picked her up and carried her out. "What would you do without me Bunny."

Marshall heard a sound of crying. He went around the corner and saw two little feet behind some old boxes and went over to it.

"Fionna you ok?" his voice was full of worry. She shook her head and the he said," Now Fionna you know I hate talking about feelings but, this seems important, so do you need to talk?" Fionna cleared her throat and Marshall went to sit beside her.

Fionna was trying to gather her thoughts and Marshall saw a tear run down her face," You know I really hate seeing you cry." he said as he wiped her tear away and did his usual cocky smile. Fionna tried to smile, but she couldn't.

"Ok this is probably going to seem really stupid to you but," she began to choke on her words," Gumball only invited me to this party to run tests on me."

Marshall put an arm around her and said," You're right and wrong I do think it's stupid to cry over that considering it's Gumwad we're talking about, but you like him so you get a freebee for that one." She looked up at him still hurt but better and said," I don't like that piece of candy any more."

He smiled a little and said," I bet I know what would make you feel better," she looked up with curiosity," why don't you and me do a duet then maybe some adventuring." Her eyes lit up and smiled," I think you just made my night, Marshy."

He remembered so much and saw how much he cared. He got up and started to fly again.

"But now the question is how do I tell her. Do I tell her?"

"Yeah. I think you should tell her." That was not him.
