"Morning, Fionna." LSP called out to Fionna, as the prince floated past the front of her booth. It was early, and Fionna was eating a breakfast roll. Gumball had been handing them out to the people who had booths, and LSP was eating one as well. "I didn't get a chance to tell you how FLUBBIN AWESOME, You were the other night!"
It was the third day of the festival now, and things were still going strong. The last two days were busy, and last night's concert was just as rocking as the first, and Marshall looked just as cool. She couldn't wait for tonight's party as well, but she was feeling the fatigue of the early mornings and late nights of partying.
"Thanks LSP." Fionna said brightly, and the Prince floated into her tent, they still had some time before the festival officially started for the day.
"You and Marshall lee, make a PERFECT team!" LSP told her, and floated onto the stool, or... hovered on it. "My glob, so many girls are jealous!"
"Of me...?" Fionna asked curiously, and she blushed a bit. "I don't see why."
"Cause you two are always flubbin' together." LSP said, smiling. "Oh, oh. I heard some juicy gossip too."
"LSP... I don't think you should spread rumors." Frionna said, raising an eyebrow at the purple prince.
"Just wait, you'll want to hear this!" The Prince grinned brightly. "So I heard, that Marshall used to have this girlfriend, a witch. Named, Ashley~ Lumpin' Juicy, right?!"
Fionna felt her heart sink as she heard LSP talk. Marshall used to have a girlfriend...? Wait, of course he did. He was a 1000 years old... forever young... she wasn't surprised, but she felt nervous.
"Oh, and oh my glob, the reason they broke up, is SUCH A DRAMA BOMB." LSP continued.
"Hey, I think that's enough." A stern voice said. LSP turned around to see a ticked off Vampire, his arms crossed, and an eyebrow raised. "Enough gossip."
"Oh, GLOB." LSP said, and he hurried out of the tent, clearly the prince knew what he had done wrong.
"Marshall, it's early." Fionna said, as she looked up at the Vampire King, who looked peeved that he was awake so early. The King looked at Fionna, and put his hands on the table. "... What's up...?"
"... I came to claim my prize." Marshall said, and Fionna blinked. "You have to spend all day, doing what I say."
"But my booth..." Fionna said, frowning.
"It can close for a day." Marhsall said, "Do not make me getting up in the morning, fruitless. Besides, you gave me your word..."
"... Yeah..." Fionna looked down, then back up at the Vampire.
"Okay. Now let's go." The vampire said, yawning. Fionna got up, and closed her tent up for the day, and let LSP know she was gone. She felt a cold hand grab hers, and she looked up at Marshall. "Come on."
The Vampire walked with her down the street, tilting his hat to shield his face from the morning sun. There were some clouds in the sky, that offered a saving grace every now and then for him.
"Where are we going...?" Fionna asked, as they walked past the opening booths.
"The Park." The vampire said, and he spotted the pink prince, with a basket of rolls still. The vampire floated over, and took another roll. Before the Prince noticed, the Vampire floated away, and back to Fionna. He handed her the roll, and she laughed, and took a bite.
The two found a shady spot, under a tree, and Fionna leaned up against the trunk, and so did Marshall.
"... Uhm... about what LSP was gossiping about..." Fionna started, but the vampire pushed her hat down over her eyes. "Hey...!" Fionna said, as she fixed her hat, and looked over at the now smiling Vampire.
"... Yes. I used to have a girlfriend named Ashley." Marshall told her, leaning back against the tree. "... We broke up, because she stole something precious from me, and sold it to another witch... all for her own selfish reasons..."
"That's horrible!" Fionna said, frowning. "How can some one do that?!"
"Because she's a witch... She's evil, and immortal, like me." Marshall said. "I thought her and I were in love, that we could be together forever... but I realized how bad of a person she was, and her selling Hambo was the last straw."
"Hambo...?" Fionna asked curiously, and the Vampire seemed a bit confused that he had said Hambo as well.
"Ah... uh..." The Vampire sat up straight, and looked over at her. He couldn't believe it, that stupid plush was so embarrassing, but he knew he could trust Fionna. "... It was my best friend... just a stuffed animal that got me through hard times..."
"... Well, you deserve better than some witch like her!" Fionna told him, and the Vampire chuckled at the girls enthusiasm. The vampire lay down on the grass, and rested his head on Fionna's lap. "Ah... Marshall...?"
"Ssh, I'm tired. I got up way to early," The Vampire said, and he held up an umbrella. "Hold this, and don't move, so I can nap."
"Marshall, you can't just...!" Fionna started, but Marshall interrupted her.
"You have to do what I say for a whole day." He said, and waved the umbrella for her to take. Fionna sighed, as she opened it up, making sure that Marshall was fully protected from the sun. "That's better..."
"... Marshall, jeez... Is this just an excuse to have a slave for a day...?" Fionna asked, as she looked down at the Vampire, who had his eyes closed.
"Maybe." The vampire said, and he rested his hands on his chest. "I might get you to fan me later."
"Not happening!" Fionna said, punching him in the arm. He laughed, and rubbed his arm, looking up at her. "Jeez Marshall, I know you won, but I'm so going to kick your butt tomorrow for this."
"Haha, I know. I wouldn't expect anything less." Marshall said, closing his eyes again, "I just wanted to enjoy a whole festival day with you." The vampire yawned, and Fionna watched him as he fell asleep.
The girl studied the vampire's face, and she touched his hair with her free hand, it felt soft... and she admired the black color. her eyes traveled to look at his pointy ears, then down at the two red marks on his neck. Her fingers hovered over them, before she touched the scars. She wondered how vampires were made, was he born this way, or made this way...? She didn't want to ask, feeling it was to prying of a question.
She sat back a bit, watching Marshall sleep... She had been thinking about him a lot lately, all she wanted to do was hang out with him, so she didn't much mind that he had kidnapped her away from her booth for the day...
She sat there for an hour and a half, as the Vampire napped peacefully on her lap. She kept the umbrella over top of him, to protect him from the sun's rays. She was beginning to get extremely bored, when the vampire stirred from his nap, and yawned.
"aah, that was good." Marshall said, stretching his arms, before he looked at Fionna. He grinned, and tilted his hat to cover his face. "Thanks for the pillow and shade."
"Yeah yeah," Fionna said, as she stretched her legs out, and stood up. "WHOA!" She flopped onto the ground, and groaned. Her legs were asleep from sitting on them for so long, and she heard a laugh above her, before she was picked up off the ground by her middle.
"Sorry cutie, didn't mean to keep you so long." The vampire said, as he held her, while she regained feeling back in her legs. "But your lap made such a nice pillow. I need that more often."
"Nuh uh... I like using my legs!" Fionna said, looking up at him.
"Haha, fine." The Vampire smiled at her, and let her down onto her feet after a few minuets. The human sighed happily, at being able to stand, and she looked up at him.
"What next...?" She asked curiously, and the Vampire blinked. It seemed he needed a minuet to think about it, before he set his feet on the ground.
"Let's walk around the festival," Marshall told her, and took her arm in his, as they headed back to the festival. "But first, let's stop at Cake's booth."
"what for...?" Fionna asked, and the Vampire grinned at her charmingly.
"That, is a surprise." He said, as he guided the human towards her sister's clothing booth.
"No... NO NO NO." Fionna said loudly, causing people to stare at her as they passed by Cake's book. The cat was holding up a frilly light pink dress, with poofy short sleeves. the hems were decorated with lace, and had a big white ribbonw around the middle, that tied in the back, into a big bow. "Marshall, that's to much!"
"What? We're just walking around together, Fi. No adventures today." Marshall said, smiling almost evily in the human's opinion. "I want everyone to see just how cute you are."
"Augh, Marshall, please! No dresses!" Fionna begged, but that only made the vampire more enthusiastic about her putting it on.
"To late, you have to. I command you!" The Vampire laughed, and Fionna groaned.
"Maybe this will teach you that you should think of easier prizes to give away, other than what ever some one wants." Cake said, handing the dress to her solemn sister.
"Not you too, Cake..." Fionna groaned, as Marshall pushed her into the changing tent.
"... Marshall, take it easier on her." Cake told the Vampire in a sisterly tone. "Or I swear, I will claw up that face of yours!"
"Haha, alright." Marshall said, he didn't doubt that the cat could do damage, and he didn't want to find out for sure. "Come on Fionna, we haven't got all day!"
"Hmph..." Fionna yanked back the curtain. The dress came just past her knee's, and she looked irritated. "This isn't fun to move around in."
"Well it looks adorable on you." Cake said excitedly, but Marshall took a white ribbon from the cat's hands, and floated over to Fionna.
"Hat." Marshall said, and the human looked up at him, wide eyed. "Take the hat off."
"Augh... no! I draw the line at my hat!" Fionna said, throwing her hands up in the air. "Line, Marshall! liiiiiiiine!" she said, tracing her finger in the air. The Vampire just rolled his eyes, and removed her hat for her. He then floated behind her, and scooped her hair up into a ponytail, before tying it in place with the ribbon. "Marshall!"
"Fi, calm down." Marshall told her, and turned her around to look in a mirror. "Look, you look great!"
Fionna stared at herself in the mirror. She looked like a completely different person, like a princess... She stood there, nervous... she couldn't recognize the person in the mirror, and her lips formed a frown.
Marshall looked at Fionna's expression, and he frowned himself. He floated in front of her, and took the ribbon out of her hair. "On second thought, put the hat back on. Look's better that way."
"Uh? Alright." Fionna smiled at her friend, as she took her hat back, and pulled it on her head. The vampire smiled as her face brightened up, while she looked at herself in the mirror. "This dress is really pretty Cake, good job!"
"All my creations look their best on you, baby girl!" Cake said, winking at her sister. The cat was glad Marshall had given her sister's hat back. even the cat was starting to notice that the vampire would do anything to make Fionna happy.
"Haha, It's not so bad." Fionna said, and she looked up at Marshall. "Well, let's continue on then."
"Good." Marshall said, as he took Fionna's arm, and shaded them both with the umbrella. "Later Cake!"
"You two don't, cause trouble!" Cake called out to the both of them, as they walked off down the street together, arm in arm.
The two spent the morning looking at all the strange things for sale on the market side of the festival. When they had finished with that, they sat on the fountain, checking over the things they purchased.
"Check this out!" Fionna said excitedly, as she made a bottle opener turn into a large battle axe with the push of a button. She had spent a lot of time looking at the weapons booth an old wizard had set up. She looked over at Marshall, who was playing with a puzzle he had bought. It was an ancient artifact, he had told her he used to play with all the time as a kid. "What's that again...?"
"A rubix cube." He said, holding up the worn out toy. The colors had faded a bit, but were still visible.
"Ru-bicks cube?" Fionna said, and watched him turn it. it seemed to stick a bit.
"Yeah, wanna try?" He asked, and handed it to her. She smiled with delight, as she started to play with it.
"Hey you guys." Gumball said. The pink prince had wandered over to them, and eyed Fionna. "What's with the dress Fionna?"
"Marshall bought it for me. He made me wear it." She said, as she fumbled with the cube.
"Hmm, I see he claimed his prize from you." Gumball said, and Marshall grinned at the Prince. "Well you look very pretty, Fionna."
"Thanks." Fionna said, looking up at the Prince, blushing a bit.
"What are you playing with...?" Gumball asked, as he looked at the toy. "A Rubix cube?"
"Marhsall bought this too." Fionna said brightly, but the Vampire took it from Fionna.
"Oh, I didn't know Marshall had the intelligence to solve one of those." The Prince said, and the vampire shot a glare at the prince.
"Of course I do. I play with these long before you were born." Marshall said, and he put the puzzle away in a bag he was carrying.
"Hmm, I was just poking fun." the Prince said, and he looked at Fionna. "So, what else are you two going to do today...?"
"We're going to play some games." Marshall answered for Fionna, "Then I'm going to have her sing in the concert with me again."
"I am...?" Fionna asked, and Marshall stood up, and offered a hand out to her. She blinked, and took it, and he pulled her to her feet, but didn't let go of her hand.
"Yeah," Marshall said, smiling at her, before he looked at Gumball. "See you later, Bubba-butt. We still have stuff to do."
"... Later." Gumball said, as he watched the Vampire walk off with Fionna in hand. Gumball sighed as he saw how happy Fionna was. The prince wondered why Marshall didn't realize that he didn't need to Force Fionna to hang out with him, he just needed to ask her nicely...
