Marshall Lee's P.O.V

Epilogue

Fionna and I got back from being at that island in the middle of the sea of nothing. We were there for a few months. Her eighteenth birthday was today, and Cake was surprising her at our house in the caves. She had been so happy the past few months, she had almost forgotten it was in the middle of the ocean until we had to travel back home. Bubba had loaned us a big ship for the journey, but it still scared her. I was by her the whole time. She had gotten sea sick on the way home. I felt so bad for her. If planes were reinvented I would have flown her there. We had gotten some pretty cool items from the trip. Fionna managed to sketch a map of the island on huge poster paper. She was going to hang it up in the cave when she got back. She was pretty proud of it. It was how we got around.

When we got to the cave Schwabelle came out of the dog door rubbing herself against Fionna's legs making her smile. She rubbed her hand against her white fur smiling.

"Hey, girl, it's so nice to see you," she said smiling. She opened the door and was almost strangled by Cake. "Don't hug me too hard! You'll kill me." Cake laughed and relieved her grip. My mother was there, Lord Monochromicorn, Lumpy Space Prince, Bubba, Beemo, NEPTR, Ice Queen and a ton of her friends. She almost started crying.

"You okay, Fionna?" I asked smiling.

"Did you do all of this?" asked Fionna. I nod. Bubba and I managed to stay in contact, this she knew. Her and Cake exchanged letters since no phones worked out here. Bubba and I had a small bird carry our messages, like pigeons before the Great Mushroom War. That was how her and Cake communicated too. That was how Bubba and I worked all of this out. When we would be here, the party and everything, Fionna had just lost track of time. She hugs me while Cake crossing her arms.

"He gets all the love? You were alone with him for months!" said Cake smiling.

"I know, I know," said Fionna laughing. She took the map she drew and held it up for Cake to see. "This is where we were!" Fionna started showing Cake and everything else a play by play of what we did on the island. Not everything, but pretty close. Where we hung out, where the coolest spots where. Cake was quite fascinated, along with Bubba.

Cake brings up everything Fionna and I had into our room so we could stay down here with everyone else. They were all curious how our relationship was going and to open old gifts and new ones. Most of them for Fionna. I got a thing here or there, nothing huge or special. Bubba gave me one or two t-shirts with band names like ACDC and Pink Floyd. Cake gave me a horror movie called the Exorcist, that was something I haven't seen in a while. It would scare Fionna too. That we needed to watch together. Fionna all kinds of things, swords, books full of supernatural theories, a lot like the Enchiridion, some new outfits and more stuff.

Fionna was just really happy to see everyone after being gone for quite some time. She loved being at the island with me, but she was always saying how she missed everyone, yet strangely wanted to remain with me there. It was funny how she was complaining about wanting to see Cake and Lord Monochromicorn yet no matter how many times I offered to go back with her she wanted to stay.

"Oh, baby, there's someone you need to meet," said Cake coming down the stairs. She drags Fionna into the other room, making me fallow. "You'll absolutely love him!" Yeah, right, I thought. When Cake stopped and introduced Fionna to some guy she squealed in excitement.

"Oh my glob, Cake! He's adorable!" said Fionna starting to spaz. "Marshall Lee come look at this!" I look over Fionna's shoulder to see a small, black and grey kitten. Fionna picks him up making some kind of face in attempt to get him to laugh. "Cake, when did this happen?"

"Only a few days ago, that's why he's so tiny," said Cake smiling. Fionna turned around to me smiling.

"Look at him!" she held him up with her hands under his arms. She seemed to be pretty excited about this. I take the kitten from her worriedly.

"You can't just hold him like that," I said, Fionna started blushing.

"Oh, oops," said Fionna, her face getting red.

"Here," I said giving him back to Fionna. I showed her how to hold the kitten properly and she giggled.

"He's not very fluffy yet is he?" asked Fionna giggling. "How'd you know that, Marsh?"

"Well, I've seen a baby or two after being alive for a thousand years," I said. Fionna handed the kitten to Cake.

"What is his name anyways?" asked Fionna curiously.

"Jeremy," said Cake. "Mochro's idea." Cake and Fionna started going on and on about babies. I go into our main room and talk with everyone else. My mother was there. She hugged me tightly, almost strangling me.

"How was your trip, Mar Mar?" asked my mother. "I was told you went to an island you discovered."

"Fionna absolutely ate that up," I said laughing. She loved the thought that I, myself, discovered an island. I wasn't exactly an adventurer like her. Her and I got to name the island too. Fionna wanted to mash our names together and name it Fiolee, and what was I to stand in her way? There were all new creatures Fionna has never seen before. New creatures she could fight and learn from. New styles of fighting. New foods.

"I wanted to give you something," said my mother throwing me some keys. I stare at them blankly, not knowing what these keys opened up. "Let's just say there's a charmed chest in the Nightosphere for you... heh, it's bottomless. It's full of stuff."

"Thanks, Mom, we'll check it out when we get a chance," I said smiling. Fionna came from behind me wrapping her arm around me. What was with people almost strangling me today? I spin her around before she jumps off hugging Bubba.

"It's been forever, Gumball!" said Fionna excitedly.

"Three months and fourteen days to be exact," said Bubba smiling. Fionna laughs, Bubba was such a nerd.

"Well I see that as a good thing if you ask me," I said. Bubba laughed, even Fionna found it funny this time. She even laughed a little. She usually hated my jokes about Bubba.

"Well, a few months without seeing you is pretty good too," said Bubba, obviously towards me. He would never say such a thing about Fionna. If he would I'd kill him.

"Oh come on, you two. Stop it," said Fionna laughing. "You guys don't hate each other anymore. Even if it is just for me."

"Well, it is, it's all for you," I said messing with her hair. She brings her hood from her new cloak over her head. It was black and the hood had some bunny ears. She loved it. She wore it almost all the time while we were at the island. She wanted to try sewing so she could impress Cake. She did a pretty good job on it too. She still wore her traditional hat sometimes too.

"You made this?" asked Bubba inspecting Fionna's new cloak.

"Yeah? What do you think?" asked Fionna. The air filled up inside and made it poof out as she spun around. "It took me a few tries to get it right."

"Well, you would certainly make a wonderful seamstress," said Gumball smiling. "You must have picked up some things while watching Cake all of your life."

"Tell that to the sock I destroyed a year ago," said Fionna laughing. "And all of the access material back on the island."

"You didn't make that many mistakes, Fionna, you only had to restart your cloak twice," I said smiling. "It was only a small mistake too." Fionna playfully punches me, laughing.

"It was still a big enough to have me start over again," said Fionna. "Either way, I like the cloak. Thanks for talking me into it."

"It was your idea completely," I said. "You just wanted to give up those two times." She started to get so mad back on the island while working on it she would throw it and throw a fit. It was sort of funny, but really sad to watch. It was advanced for her, Cake wasn't there to help, and I wasn't all that good at sewing.

By the end of the day everyone but my mother, Cake and Jeremy left. Cake wanted to see Fionna some more and talk to her about some things, while my mother simply wouldn't leave. I didn't know why, though.

"Um, Cake, Mrs. Lee, can you leave for a few minutes? There's something I want to talk to Marshall Lee about... alone," said Fionna. The two women leave, Cake looking sympathetic and my mother excited.

"Is there something upsetting you, Blue?" I asked curiously. She looked it. She didn't look as cheery as usual. "Was it something Bubba said? Because if he hurt you in any way, I swear I'll-"

"Marshall Lee, calm down, it wasn't Gumball," said Fionna smiling. "Before you even bring it up it wasn't Flame Prince either." That didn't make me feel any better to be honest, if it wasn't one of those two why would she looked so worried? "This is something that I want to remain between the two of us, but I would bet money your mother is ease dropping anyways, and Cake already knows. I had to talk to her about it earlier. Besides, once Cake knows something so does all of Aaa."

"You said it, not me," I said laughing. Fionna was right, and I bet Cake was fighting every bone in her body not to punch my face in for agreeing with Fionna for saying it too. "So what is wrong, anyways?"

"Well, remember what made you faint in the Nightosphere?" asked Fionna curiously. Now that was a while back. I think for a while, until I remember. I stare at her, there was no possible way. I mean, I was dead.

"Okay, but I don't see why you are so worried," I said not pretending to be concerned myself.

"I can see it on your face, you're scared as hell, same as I," said Fionna almost starting cry. "What if you're right about Ice Queen? What if it hates me? Marshall, you'll stay won't you? You won't leave right?"

"Why?" I asked. "Why would you ask that? Of course I won't leave."

"Because Cake said-"

"When did she tell you that I would leave if you got pregnant?"

"When she explained tier fifteen to me at the party, when you proposed. Remember?" That's what made Fionna blush so much when Cake started explaining tier fifteen. What made Fionna push Cake away for a few days. She was so silent about it, didn't tell me a word about it.

"Yeah, I remember..." I said digging my hands into my jeans' pockets. "Do you know for sure?"

"Well, I think so. When I didn't get my period on the island I didn't notice, but I didn't get it this month either. I was talking to Cake about it at the party earlier and she said that meant... this... and to be careful how I tell you. Saying how I could-"

"We already established I won't leave, this was my house to begin with after all," I said smiling. "Not that it would matter anyways. I'm taking it you haven't told Bubba yet?" Fionna shakes her head.

"Nope, only you and Cake know, possibly your mom but I'm not sure," said Fionna. "You're sure you're okay with this?"

"It's weird since I'll always be eighteen and then when-" I stopped there seeing how going on like this would worry Fionna a ton more. "I'm 100% on board." I put my arms around her and she smiled.

"Thanks, Marsh..."
