Three Months Later
I was flying around in daytime, my face being wrapped in the shadows thanks to this massive overcoat that I got. "Thank you, random skeleton guy." I said to myself, viewing the area around me from a bird's eye view. It looked like nothing but a large field, even larger than the one I saw the night I left the guiding hand of Marceline, my Vampire "Queen." I was about to turn around and fly back to my cave when I heard a familiar cry against Vampire kind, which I now was accustomed to. I flew to above the area in question, where I saw Jake and Finn, arguing. I also saw a familiar umbrella, and that it was quivering. I started floating down, when Jake caused the umbrella to move, showing me that Marceline was underneath. I quickly dropped, unzipping the large zipper in the front of my coat, and made it so I basically parachuted overtop her. I wrapped her and myself in the coat, making sure that we were in the shadows it made.
"Mike?" She asked me. "Stay under this, and live." I told her. I then dashed out of the protection of the shadows, summoning my Keyblade in the same time. I held it in my position, ignoring the searing pain all over my body from the effects Sunlight now had on me. "ANOTHER VAMPIRE! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Jake yelled, running far away from here. Finn soon followed him, waving bye to us. As soon as they were out of sight, I dropped to the ground. I was in complete agony from the effect the UV rays had on my altered form. I was writhering in pain for a few minutes before I felt an instant, soothing relief. I opened my eyes to see a streak of shade, big enough to cover me.
"Hey! Go Bat and get under here!" I heard from above me. I looked up to see a small bat-like creature under the hood of my coat. "Marcy?" I asked, unsure if it was really her. "Duh. I told you that you had all of my powers. Now go Bat and join me! This coat is heavy!" She said. I focused on an inner, more primal form of myself, and when I opened my eyes, I was floating right next to Marceline, at her height as well. "Awesome. Now, come on!" She said, grabbing the inside of the hood, keeping it over us. I grabbed the other side, and we flew off in the direction of what Marceline dictated.
We soon entered another cave, which was deep. I heard a summoning sound, and saw a flash of light, then a candle was lit in a small corner. "Gotta live the base Fire spell..." I said out loud. "You bet." Marceline said, sending Master Keeper away. I picked up another candle, which was unlit, and lit it on the already lit one. I used it to survey the rest of the area, which had more candles. After we had illuminated the entire cave in light, we actually sat down, facing each other. I zipped my coat back up, covering up the V-neck tshirt underneath. "Thanks for saving me... again..." Marceline said after a while. "Welcome..." I said. We sat in an uncomfortable silence for about five minutes before Marceline stood up and walked over to my left side, and started to lay on my side. "Umm... What are you doing?" I asked her. "The day's supposed to be very cold for some odd reason, and I would like to keep warm." She responded. "Ah." I said, wrapping an arm around her. She nuzzled closer, and we were soon starting to drift off into a heavy sleep in this medium sized cave. Before we went to sleep, however, I did take off my coat again, this time wrapping it around us to try and keep us warm.
I woke to see that Marceline was basically trying to climb into my skin after I went to sleep. I tried shifting my body to get up, but she wrapped her arms further around me, as if in a bad dream. "Marceline, wake up... I think it's night time." I said softly to her. She responded by simply trying to dig deeper into my body, as if I was the last thing that she had, ever. I wondered what I could do to help, when I remembered that as a Vampire, I could enter someone else's dreams. I focused on my spirit moving through her mind, and quickly fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a war torn world, and a large cluster of mushroom cloud explosions. "Nukes?" I said to myself, questioning this, but then realizing that it is the true cause as to the mutation of the world's species. "Then that means... I'm in Marceline's memories!" I said to myself again. I started running down the large slope I was on, trying to find Marceline herself. After about a hundred or so yards, I found a little girl, standing next to a man in a suit, with a short, white beard. The strange thing about this guy, was that he had a crown tethered to his belt. "Why does that guy seem familiar?" I said to myself, scratching the stubble on my chin. I then got a look at the both of their faces, and I realized who they were. "Marcy? And the Ice Dweeb?" I said, now moving an eyebrow up, in curiosity. I jumped down to them, extending my arms out to slow my descent a bit. Once I hit the ground, I immediately rolled forward, like you're supposed to do, and sprang up. I saw that the two of them had not noticed me, so I figured out what had happened: In Marceline's dreams, I was invisible. I decided to follow them, in order to try and solve this whole situation.
After a while, the scene shifted away from the war-torn place, and moved into a strange restaurant. I looked inside to see a man, eating a large amount of french fries. I looked to the doorway to see Marceline, with a strange looking teddy bear in her arms. She looked at the man, amazed and shocked at what he was doing. "This was the day that Daddy ate my fries..." I heard from behind me. I turned to see that it was Marceline, in a simple wife-beater and a pair of ripped blue jeans. "Why is this in here?" I asked her. She walked up to me, then said, "After this, there were no more fries, ever. And he promised me those fries." She said, slightly tearing up. I raised my hand to her face, and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Don't worry. You don't need to cry." I said, trying to reassure her. She nodded, then wrapped her arms around me, trapping me in a hug. I placed my arms around her thin frame, comforting her in her time of need.
When I looked around, I saw that the area of the world was different. It looked like some kind of apartment. "Uhh... Where are we now, Marcy?" I asked her. I heard a sniffle, then she said, "It's a day that I will never forget." I then saw another Marceline, obviously the simulation dream version of her. She was practically tearing a couch in half, frantically saying, "Where is he? Where is he?" Another guy walked in, and said, "Hey Mar-Mar, I just got a new wand. All I had to do to get the cash was sell that stupid toy." Marceline looked at him, fury in her eyes, then said, "YOU SOLD HAMBO? HOW COULD YOU? IT'S OVER, YOU PSYCHO!" After she said that, the entire scene was torn apart, as if it was made of clouds.
"Oh..." I said, finally understanding why Marceline was bawling her eyes out on my shoulder. I let her continue crying, and actually closed my eyes, focusing on my thoughts. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the cave, and I knew that we were awake again. Marceline pulled away, her eyes red and puffy, and said, "Thanks for letting me cry on you. I'm sorry if I ruined your shirt." "Don't mind the shirt. I don't really care if it gets messed up. So, are you alright now?" I told her. She nodded, then gave me another hug, which I gladly accepted.
"Hey, Mike?" She said to me. "Yeah?" I asked back, curious as to what she had to say. "I think that I really like you." She said, closing her eyes and snuggling up close to me. I smiled, then said, "I think I really like you, too." I then wrapped my arms around her, returning the close embrace she was giving. She moved her legs, wrapping them around my outstretched ones. I hooked one of my legs around them, which caused us to move closer together. "Mike... I think..." She started off, slowly stopping what she was going with, as if in deep thought. "Hm?" I asked, always being curious as to what happens with her thoughts. "I... think I'm... in love with you..." She confided in me. I looked at her, then calmly said, "I... think I am too..."
