A/N: I know this isn't really a Marshall and Fionna moment, but it kind of is. I thought of this song and thought it was perfect.
River Deep, Mountain High:
A song fic, by VampireKing47. So yeah, I know I'm not the best at song fics, but Ice Queen convinced be to write this so her Adventure Time series would get more fame or whatever and then Fionna said I had to so she would leave us alone. So here ya go.
Summary: Through the years, the Vampire Queen and the Human boy have gone through many losses. At least they still have each other, but for how long?
When I was a young girl I had a rag doll. The only doll I ever owned. Now I love you the way I loved that rag doll. But only now my love has grown.
Marceliene remembered when she first got Hambo, she was a new born vampire in the wake of the Mushroom war, and her adoptive father-figure; Simon, had brought it to the street they had met. When she first laid eyes on it, she felt her sadness from loss and destruction suddenly drain away, as the smiley face on the bear gave her hope for a brighter future. He never failed to make her feel that way, that was until the day he was taken away from her by her evil ex-boyfriend. Sure, in the beginning she felt that her life line and source of happiness and hope had been taken away from her, and she still missed him terribly and was peeved at Ash for trading him to a witch, but now she had someone new to love. Like Hambo, he never failed to bring her hope and happiness.
When you were a young boy did you have a puppy That always followed you around? Oh yeah Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy No, I'll never let you down
Finn walked into his old tree-house and plopped himself on the couch. Half of him expected Jake to come out of nowhere and scare the living crap out of him, but the other half knew that that was something he would never have to expect ever again. In the time that Jake had become a father, grew up and matured into a serious adult, he had also begun to feel the weight of time bear down on him. Even in magical dog years, Jake hadn't grown old enough to out live Finn, and he soon passed away living just old enough to see his first set of grandpups.
Princess Bubblegum did not fair any better than Finn did after the loss of Jake. Her rainicorn companion, Lady Rainicorn, had passed away from a broken heart shortly after the death of her husband. The loss of her two animal companions had changed something in the princess, and she soon became cold and distant from the candy citizens and Finn. She disappeared sometime later, without a trace of her current whereabouts, leaving Finn to assume the worst had happened. Life moved on however, and a new princess was crowned.
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring.
The following spring brought new life and the winds of change into the Candy kingdom, and seemingly brushed away the earlier sadness left behind by winter, gently guiding those effected by it to their new beginnings. Even Finn, who made his choice and became immortal. Something he didn't consider at first, but later came to accept after realizing that without Jake and the princess, the kingdom and himself were as vulnerable as ever. That was something that the last human and protector of Ooo did not need to be. Marcy had been the one to make it happen, and with a single bite, she had her vampire companion and the two had been inseparable ever since. Together, they became the protectors that Finn had once been with Jake.
I love you baby just like I love to sing. and I love you baby like how you loved you pet.
They were inseparable alright, until the day of the Royal Meeting would roll around, and Marcy would have to leave behind her little brother figure for the weekend to attend to royal business. It was a lonely wait, and as Finn leaned on his palm, his mind began to drift to his distant memories, the same ones that brought him so much sadness. He would remember those crazy jam sessions with Marcy and Jake, and how the trio would write the lamest lyrics in the history of Ooo just for the sake of entertainment. Just him and his friends being the care-free kids that they knew they were at heart and doing what they loved most. He loved those memories as much as he hated them, always feeling such melancholy as old songs and conversations came floating back to him.
And I love you baby. Do I love you my oh my, oh River deep, mountain high.
Though, these never seemed to last long, as something always seemed to pounce on him just as he began to think, and he often would scream in surprise. As always though, he looked at his attacker and saw it was his old friend, and fellow protector the vampire queen. Like with Jake's natural instinct, the vampire seemed to always know when Finn needed comfort most. It was in that moment, that Finn would often let go, and cry openly in his friend's arms until he would eventually come to an uneven sleep. Marcy didn't really mind or judge this though, and she would sit there holding her friend just as she would hold Hambo.
And if I lost you would I cry.
Since they were both immortal, you couldn't really say that the two lost each other. Though, technically they did when Finn decided to suck up his pride and ask out Flame Princess yet again, apologizing profusely for his actions so many years ago and with the help of Marcy, was finally able to get his dream girl back. The two later married after a year of dating and the Vampire Queen found herself in the front row of the event, watching as the last of her friends walked down the isle to his waiting bride. She was happy for the two, but in her heart she did feel as though she was loosing her friend, now that he was off on his own now to start a new life and maybe a family if he ever got to tier 15.
For the first time since the loss of Jake and PB, she found herself in tears, but she couldn't really tell if they were ones of happiness or sadness.
Oh, how I love you baby.
