"What does your mom have to do with you killing Fire Prince?" Fionna was frantic. She didn't feel safe.

The vampire king sat down on her bed. She scooted away.

"It started when I was freshly bitten. My mom was the one to do it so I was influenced by her personality. She is filled with chaotic evil. When I get mad there's this primal instinct that takes me over and I can't control it. I didn't mean to kill him, I just couldn't help it." Marshall said.

Fionna was silent.

"Bunny?" Marshall wanted to say something that could help, but he didn't know what to say.

"How do we fix it?" Fionna asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean is there any way we can break it?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's do it. I don't want to… I mean I don't feel safe when… I just-"

"I get it. I don't want to hurt you if I get mad. You don't want me like this. But, to break the bond I have to go to the Nightosphere."

"I'm with you." She scooted back toward him and laid her head down on his lap. "and for the record I would want whether or not you could kill me at any moment."

They laughed.

"Ok, but I don't think mom will like me bringing you into the Nighosphere. After all the other times, she won't let anything in or out." He said

"Heather Abadeer won't know what hit her." She smiled

"I'm gonna go home for awhile and get some stuff for our trip. See you tomorrow." He grabbed his Axe Bass and flew out the window.

"Fionna?" Cake walked in.

"Yeah, Cake?" Fionna said.

"You ok, Sugar?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Just checking. Marshall said some stuff and I just wanted to check on you."

"I'm fine. We're going to the Nighosphere tomorrow, hope you don't mind."

"The WHAT! With HIM! But Fionna, he just KILLED FP! And you're comfortable going to the Nightosphere with him?" Cake was freaked out.

"That's actually why we're going. We need to break the bond with his mom and him so that doesn't happen again."

"Fine, you can go. But coming too."

"Ok"

MARSHALL'S HOUSE

Marshall flew into his room. He fell asleep.

Marshall woke up at 6:00 PM. He changed into clothes that weren't ripped. Then he grabbed another shirt.

He floated into the kitchen. "Hi, Schwabelle." The cat meowed. "Yeah, I know I haven't been home that much lately… I'M TALKING TO A CAT AGAIN!" He filled a bowl with strawberries then put the lid on it.

Marshall slung his Axe Bass around him then headed to the treehouse.

THE TREEHOUSE

Marshall tapped on the window. "Bunny? It's locked!"

Fionna opened it. "Sorry. Cake locked it because I was changing."

"It's cool. Ready to go?" Marshall was actually excited about going to the Nightosphere. He hated it there, but adventuring with Fionna was fun.

"Well… Cake wants to go too. I hope that's ok." Fionna looked down at the floor.

"It's only ok if I can wear your hat the whole trip." He yanked it off her head.

"Hey!" she reached for it but he floated up too high.

"Fine." She said. "You want me to carry your strawberries and shirt in my backpack?"

"Yeah. Will they fit though? You carry a lot of junk in there."

"No there's not!"

"Yeah you do."

After a few minutes they had everything in Fionna's pack spread out on the bed.

"Binoculars, the Enchiridion, glue, the crystal sword, a handkerchief, Cake's snow booties, ketchup, notebook, pencil, yellow sweater, scissors, three socks, flashlight, two buttons, and a cookie." Marshall said.

"So I guess I do need to clean it out."

"I don't even know how you fit all this stuff in there."

"I could take out the glue, ketchup, socks, buttons, and the cookie. But I need all the rest." Fionna crosses her arms.

"How many times do you really use the Enchiridion? Or your yellow sweater? Or Cakes shoe-things?"

"Jeez, fine I'll take out the Enchiridion, but the sweater and booties stay."

Marshall shook his head. "Ok, but there better be enough room for my shirt and strawberries."

"Well, Cake's dulcimer fits in here with all the rest of my stuff so I don't think It should be a problem."

"Why does she even play that thing?"

"She says it's a conversation starter." They started laughing.

"What are you two laughing about?" Cake walked in.

"Nothing." They both said.

"Well, are you guys ready to go? I'm bringing my dulcimer so we can have some music while we adventure."

Fionna and Marshall started to giggle.

"What are you guys laughing about?" Cake was suspicious.

"It's nothing Cake! Hey, Marsh, help me put the stuff we need back into my pack." Fionna said.

They got ready and stood by the wall they always opened portals on.

"Bunny?" Marshall said.

"Yeah, Marsh?" Fionna looked at him.

"Are you sure you're up for this? You can barely stand up for an hour at a time."

"I'll be fine. I can walk, I don't get nauseous anymore, the only thing is that I'm kind of weak. But it'll be fine."

"Ok, Bunny."

"Hey, now that you're wearing my hat, I can call you bunny!"

"No you can't."

"Why not?" Fionna crossed her arms.

"I forbid you. That's why." He smiled.

"Alright guys, I'm ready to go." Cake had put her dulcimer on her back, then grabbed some bug milk.

They opened the portal and went through.
