AUHG! Everyone and their grandmothers are posting the link to the episode on my Facebook wall! I have to delete it from my wall to resist the temptation. I have to wait and watch it on the release date!

It's worth it.

So yeah... brain dies each time there's a link. I almost watched one today but I said "NO!" like really loudly and my mom asked me who the hell I was talking to... yeeaaah.

No songs in this chapter. Still accepting entries.

Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: Well... think about it.

Still no.

A few more weeks passed by and Cake was becoming irritated. Fionna was never home and only came to sleep. Even then, Fionna would sometimes spend her nights at Marshall's. Cake had threatened Marshall with sunlight if he tried to get farther than tier 3. Giving her his word, Marshall never dared to advance. However he hadn't been planning on doing so. He wasn't the huge perv Fionna and Cake made him out to be sometimes. Fionna would tease him about it but Cake would give him a look that clearly read "don't even think about it".

But the cat was becoming concerned that Fionna wasn't adventuring as often as she used too. This was what Cake was concerned about. She loved her sister and that she was happy with a boy finally but she was a teenage girl. Of course she wasn't going to focus on anything but him for a while. Cake was trying to best to hold her tongue and let Fionna figure it all out. For now, she had to sit and wait for the human to come home, if she ever did on that day.

Marshall knew that Cake was getting angry with the two of them. He loved Fionna and was great friends with Cake so he had to make a compromise so he wouldn't get tossed into the sun for hanging out with Fionna too much. He tried to talk to his girlfriend about going out and fighting some monster but Fionna said that there weren't any to fight, Ice Queen was laying low for some reason, and that Gumball hasn't contacted her for some ridiculous task lately. It was a little suspicious, Marshall thought, but he wasn't complaining. More Fionna time for him.

"Are you sure you wanna come? I mean these guys are pretty brutal," Marshall said one night as he and Fionna made their way into a dense forest.

"You're the one who said that it was time for me to get out and fight some guys. You're going to a fight club, I'm tough, so I'm gonna go," Fionna said simply, walking along side him.

"There's no mercy here," he told her. "You could get hurt."

She gave him a look. "Marshall... I'm dating you."

He laughed. "Point taken."

These fighters, Marshall explained, were apparently unlike the Marauders that Fionna sometimes rough-housed with. These guys were far harsher and meaner, doing battle for honor and a winner's title instead of friendly banter. Marshall hung out with these guys because they were a challenge and Marshall only came out on top once. The title was soon taken by him from some beefy dude who beat him with ease. Two or three well built girls from Muscle Prince's Kingdom joined the fight but they never lasted after the fifth round. That's when Muscle Prince would step in. He was the current champion of the fight club. Fionna wasn't going down without a fight.

They reached the mouth of a large cave and continued inside until the entrance behind them vanished, the two getting deeper inside. A few grunts were heard and they approached two men with huge muscles wrestling on the floor. Everyone else, including Muscle Prince, a few Marauders, and some rock beings, were cheering them on from the sidelines.

"Marshall Lee!" said one of them, running over to the couple. "We were wondering when you were gonna show your face."

"Yeah well, it's been kinda busy for the past few months," Marshall said. That was true, Fionna had to admit. From the party to her dating Flame Prince to their fight and to their make up, it's been pretty hectic. She was just glad it was all over.

"And Fionna!" said a Marauder, her eyes gleaming in excitement as she noticed the human girl. "Now things will get interesting."

"You know it!" Fionna said, pumping her fist in the air with an ecstatic grin.

After watching a few rounds, Marshall was called into the pit. He took off his flannel, tossed it to Fionna (who had suddenly become red in the face at the sight of him), and floated over to his opponent. He looked up at one of the more beefy guys, who was smirking at him.

"Puny vampire man," he said, his voice deep. "Prepare to get smashed!"

Marshall seemed undisturbed by this threat but Fionna gulped a little, holding her boyfriend's shirt up to her face just in case she had to block her eyes. Marshall was an ant compared to this guy. How in Glob's name was he gonna fight this guy? His opponent wasn't a normal guy. He wasn't even a male Marauder (which were rare). He was something out of Muscle Prince's kingdom.

"Begin!" Muscle Prince bellowed.

Fionna yelped as the beefy guy took a swing at Marshall, who simply moved out of the way. The guy tried again but Marshall stepped back again. But as the fight went on, he got more and more irritated and tired, giant beads sweat rolling down his beefy face. He took a tired swing at Marshall, trying everything in his being to knock the vampire down, who wasn't even panting. He wasn't even tired. Marshall simply stared, unimpressed and bored, at the guy. Finally, Marshall lightly floated up and pulled his opponent into a headlock, shooting upwards with all his might and slamming him onto the ground.

Fionna's mouth fell open as Marshall was declared the winner. His strategy worked! He advanced into the next set but was soon knocked down two rounds later by Muscle Prince, who cleverly figured out Marshall's idea. Marshall returned to Fionna and pulled on his shirt.

"Whatcha think?" he asked with a smirk. "You gonna try now?"

She observed the scene in front of her while Muscle Prince tried to pin down a Marauder who was putting all of her rough-housing to the test.

"Sure," Fionna said after the Marauder had won. She handed Marshall her pack and jumped into the pit, her arms spread, ready to fight. The Marauder chuckled and winked at Fionna.

"Just 'cause we have fun occasionally don't mean I'm gonna go easy on ya," she told Fionna.

"Don't go easy. I like a challenge," Fionna grinned.

"Begin!" shouted Marshall.

The Marauder lunged forward but Fionna kicked off of her opponent's head and flipped to the other side. Grunting in confusion, the Marauder turned to meet Fionna's fist in her face. Luckily, Fionna was holding back since she was aware of how powerful her punch could be. Ashley was a victim to that. But Fionna knew she could do better.

As the fight progressed, Fionna was able to knock the Marauder out of the pit and took on three more opponents before her agility began to fail, her human body becoming covered with bruises and sweat. She was panting hard as one of the more beefy guys stepped up to face her. Marshall was starting to become concerned but Fionna held her ground until the very last second. With one powerful punch, she sent her opponent flying into the wall. She had claimed the title for the fight club that night.

Everyone chanted her name and she smiled breathlessly, falling to her knees, her hands on the floor, holding her up. She panted in and out, completely out of breath. Marshall rushed over and picked her up.

"Can you take me home, please?" she whimpered.

He smiled. "Yeah." He turned to the others. "See you guys next time."

They all bid them goodbye and the vampire flew his exhausted girlfriend out of the cave. She had fallen asleep on his shoulder, snoring softly. He descended to ground to check on her and found more than a few bruises on her arms and face. Marshall regretted taking her there at once. Not only was it a stupid thing to do but he knew Cake was going to have his head for getting her hurt. He thought it was Fionna's kind of thing. It certainly seemed like it but he had to remind himself that she was a human after all. He knew that humans were easily harmed. They were prone to more than just bruises, he had seen that in the Mushroom War.

Sighing, he took out a few band-aids she had in her pack and, even though he knew this wasn't going to do much, put a few on some cuts she had earned from the fights. He gently picked her up again and carried her home to the Tree Fort. Cake saw them coming and wasn't at all surprised. Even though she was furious that Marshall took her to such a place, Fionna had told Cake of their plans and Cake knew that Fionna wasn't going to be able to resist fighting with others that could match her strength. After giving him a look that read "really?" she let Marshall Lee inside and watched as he tucked her into bed. He kissed her on the forehead and flew out, shrugging apologetically at Cake.

"Cake's mad at me, huh?" he asked Fionna one evening as they lay on their back on the top of a cliff and watched the stars.

Fionna was enveloped in his side, her head in the crook of his right shoulder, facing upwards to look at the sky. His right arm was tight around her shoulder and his left arm supported his head.

"Only a little," Fionna replied. "I feel bad, though. I've been neglecting her a lot."

"Then why doesn't she hang with Lord Monochromicorn? Geez, that's a mouthful," he mumbled.

"She does but everyday? It's not like you and me, Marshall."

"How so?"

"Every relationship is different."

They were quiet for a moment as they watched the heaven pass them by peacefully.

"Fi... can I ask you a question?"

"You just did."

"Ha ha. Seriously."

"You know you can."

He sighed and closed his eyes. "Did you want to go to that club?"

"Are you still obsessing over the fact I got a few bumps and bruises?" she demanded, unimpressed. "Marshall, that's what I do. I know that you and Cake were unhappy with my injuries but I'm better now. It was last week. Let it go."

"I just don't want Cake to get mad at us for doing too many dangerous things."

Fionna sat up, leaving the embrace of the Vampire King. He leaned on his elbows to look at her as she crossed her arms.

"'Too many dangerous things'? Marshall Lee, do you know who you're talking to?"

"I know."

"So stop stuffing worrying."

"It's my job to worry. I'm your boyfriend. It's what I do."

She leaned over and kissed him. A few seconds went by before she pulled away. "I appreciate it, Marshall," she said softly, pressed her forehead onto his. "But I'm not a helpless little girl. I'm fifteen. I think I can figure it out for myself. I know when I'm about to cross the line and chose whether or not to cross it."

He stared at her for a few minutes, looking into her ocean blue eyes. Then he smiled, flashing his fangs at her.

"When did you become so smart?" he asked.

"Shut up," she said, kissing him again.

Fionna arrived home an hour later, Cake playing her dulcimer on the couch. The feline looked up and smiled at her sister kindly.

"Welcome home, girl!" Cake said, stopping her practice and hopping off of the seat. "Did you have a nice time?"

"Yeah," Fionna said, stretching. "You're not mad at Marshall anymore, right?"

"No. Why?" Cake asked.

"He's a little concerned that you might get too angry one day," Fionna said.

Cake laughed. "I know you wouldn't let me go near Marshall if that ever happened. If it does, I give you permission to cool me off with a bucket of water. I know he means well."

"Yeah. Well I also feel bad," Fionna admitted, sitting with Cake on the couch again. "I want to go adventuring with you again but I don't wanna waste time with Marshall."

"I don't mean to sound clingy or whatever but you hang with him all the time, Fi! Take a break and hang with your other friends," Cake said. "You got Gumball, LSP, and others. I'm sure you can go on dates with Marshall during the nighttime when everyone's asleep or when you're not busy. I know he'll understand."

Fionna smiled at her friend and hugged her. "Thanks, Cake. You're the best."

In the high tops of the Ice Kingdom, lives the dreaded and incredibly old Ice Queen. She holds her head high and is in constant battle with her mortal enemy: Fionna the Human. Always messing up her schemes and ice-blocking her game with the boys. It was unfair. Can't she just see that all she wants is love and the only way she can accomplish that love is through kidnapping?

It's obvious that's how it goes.

The Ice Queen was scolding her penguin, Gabrielle, who had broken a vase that Ice Queen had found in her "Past Room". Someone was watching from above with a disgusted expression as Ice Queen spoke to the penguin.

"That's Mommy's stuff, Gabrielle. Understand? Mommy's," Ice Queen said.

"Wank wank," Gabrielle quacked.

"That's right," Ice Queen said.

"Is this how you spend your life?" Ashley said, coming out of the shadows.

"Wha?" Ice Queen said, turning to see the white haired witch descend to the icy floor.

"That's pathetic," Ashley went on.

"Hey! You better shut your mouth you filthy child," Ice Queen spat, her hands glowing blue, preparing for a fight.

"Aw, knock it off," Ashley rolled her eyes. "I'm here for a deal."

Ice Queen raised an eyebrow, glaring at her. "What's that?"

"Well, I tried to talk to Heather Abadeer about it but she loves her son too much," Ashley said, pacing a little, looking bored. "Too much that it can hurt her... but anyway- you hate Fionna the Human right?"

"Hate is an understatement," Ice Queen said darkly. "She never lets me have any guys to myself! Always getting Gumball out of my grasp."

Ashley's eye twitched in disgust. "Okay, I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that," she said. "As I was saying: you hate her. I hate her too. I think we can work something out." The witch gave the Ice Queen a malevolent grin. "How would you like to seek revenge on her and make her love life miserable?"

Ice Queen's confused look spread into a devious smile. "I'm listening..."

-0-

"What is with Ashley and her plans?" Bubblegum said. "I don't like her."

"It's a happy story, Bonnie," Marceline said. "It's gonna have a happy ending."

"This was nothing but a filler!" Ice King snapped. "You can't do that!"

"It just shows the passing of time," Marceline said, glaring at him. "Maybe you could write better fan fiction after hearing this."

"So... Ashley won't win?" Finn said.

Marceline scoffed. "I'm not giving anything away!"

Yeah. I know. It was kind of a filler but I was kind of lost.

And WHY is Ashley back? Because she's an evil witch who Fionna will punch for fun. (Imma buff baby...) FIONNA WILL PUNCHA YOU BUNS!

Like Marcy said, it's gonna have a happy ending. After this evil plan of Ashley's, it'll be the last you see of her, I promise. I just need more drama in there. Don't hate me but, if you do, fine. Whatever.

Thanks, as always, for reading and reviewing (please?). If you have anymore song submissions, how to do it is in the first A/N. And I shall see you all next time!
