Hi, it's me again.
3. Midnight Scare
"Hehehe! Shhh!" giggled Marcy. "She's gonna hear us!"
We had both cast invisibility on ourselves, so PB couldn't see us, but that didn't mean she couldn't hear us.
"Listen! Here she comes!" I said.
We had snuck into Princess Bubblegum's royal chambers late at night, so we could give her a real good scare.
She opened the doors, and walked in. Right when she was about to crawl under the covers, I mouthed 'Now.' We both reappeared right in front of the princess, me still in my vampire guise and floating.
"HEY PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM WHAT'S UP!" I yelled.
"WhaaAAAAAHHH!" she half-said, half-screamed. "Finn, what happened to you!"
"Well duh, I got turned into a vampire, genius."
"B-b-but h-how, and why?"
"Marceline turned me, and I'm in love with her, so I want to be with her forever."
As if to punctuate that point, she gave me an extra dramatic kiss. The princess nearly fainted. Neither Marceline or I could hold it in any longer. We both practically exploded with laughter.
"Huh?" asked the princess, obviously confused.
"You- you actually believed-" I gasped between bouts of laughter, "-that I-I was a-a vampire!"
"B-but I don't understand!"she said.
"Oh come on, Bonnibel, you can't tell me that you honestly thought I turned this handsome guy." said Marceline. I blushed at this, and then turned back to my normal human form, but I didn't stop floating. Apparently this was the reaction Marceline was going for by calling me handsome.
"Actually, I was serious about us being together." I said, adopting a more somber tone.
"Woah, really?" asked the princess, over her earlier fright.
"Yup." confirmed Marceline, and I wrapped my arm around her, and she rested her head on my shoulder in response.
"Well congratulations, you two!" said the princess, but there was something different in her voice. I shrugged it off as nothing.
"Anyways, it's been nice seein' ya, PB, but we gotta get goin'." I said lightly.
"Yeah, see you later, Finn."
We both flew out the window.
"Did you see the look on her face when you told her we were in love? If I didn't know Bonnibel better, I'd say she was jealous." Marceline smirked.
"What? Psshh, naw, that's not her style."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Hey, the night's still young, you wanna go strangle some pixies?" she asked.
"Yeah, defs!" I replied.
The rest of the night passed without any major, um, well, hitches, I guess? I'm not too good with words.
A few hours before dawn, we were out of ideas of what to do.
"Um, so what do ya wanna do now?" I said.
"I dunno, but I'm kinda cold." said Marceline.
"Oh, here." I said, and cast Heat on her.
"Ah, thanks Finn." she said gratefully.
"No probs." I said.
"Hmm, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold. Oh! I got it!" I exclaimed. "We'll go prank Ice King!"
"Radical idea." said Marceline.
We flew to the Ice Kingdom, where I laid out a plan, with Marcy's assistance. We would sneak in unnoticed, and create super scary illusions. Then, right when he was about to pee his pants, we would stop, and give him a break. Not for long, though. After a few minutes, we would magically pin him against the wall, and appear in front of him, wearing our most horrifying faces, and scare his face off his big fat head. We put our plan into action.
I cast Nightmare on Ice King. It was only a matter of minutes before he woke up screaming. Marcy and I exchanged a look, and we began weaving the most horrifyingly realistic illusion imaginable. (A/N: I don't know what scares the majority of people, so I'll just use what scares my friends and I) First, there were penguins. But then it got real (well, fake). Then the penguins' eyes came out of their heads and flew around on rocket packs, (A/N: Get the reference?) then their heads came off of their bodies and started to spin. The Ice King was screaming like a seven year old girl the whole time. Then, as a finale, of sorts, all of the penguins turned inside out!
We stopped the vision. The Ice King kept screaming for a few minutes, though. When he had finally calmed down, we came out of hiding. Marcy was in her demon wolf form, and I had changed to look like Hunson Abadeer in his true form. We both screamed "(insert scary sound here)!"
The Ice King fainted. We burst out laughing, and shifted back to our vampire forms.
"Aw, man! That was the best!" said Marcy, "Remind me to do that more often!"
"Yeah, the Ice King always gives some of the best reactions!" I said.
"Hey Finn, It's almost dawn, and I need to get back home before the sun gets up, 'cause I didn't bring my umbrella." she said.
"Okay, cool. I'll see you later." She gave me a kiss on the cheek, and flew out.
How did I ever end up with a girl like her? I thought as I made my way back to the treehouse. I'd better appreciate it, I don't wanna lose her.
After a few minutes, I was at the treehouse, and the sun was just barely peeking up over the horizon. I floated through the bedroom window, and lay down on my bed, careful not to wake up Jake. Almost immediately, I fell asleep.
The next morning, I was woken by a scream. It was Jake's.
What now? I thought, annoyed at my friend.
"What is it, Jake?" I said, floating out of bed.
"Y-y-you! Wh-what happened to you?" he said frantically.
"What do you mean?" I asked, growing more irritated.
"You-you're a-a vampire!" he shouted
Shit. I forgot to drop the disguise.
"Jake, Jake, calm down!" I said soothingly, and switched back to my human form.
"Oh, thank Glob! I thought Marceline had turned you!" he said, visibly relieved.
"Naw, man, I don't think she'd do that." I assured him.
We went down to the kitchen, and Jake made omelettes.
"Hey Jake?" I said.
"Mmhmm?" he replied.
"Listen, man. I'm sorry for how I blew up at you yesterday, but you're just gonna have to learn to accept me being with Marcy."
"I'm not comfortable with it, but if it makes you happy, I'll live with it." he said.
"Thanks, Jake. That means a lot to hear you say that."
"You're my bro, dude. I'd do anything for you. I'm sure you'd do the same for me, if the circumstances were reversed." said Jake.
"Yeah, totes."
We ate breakfast in silence for the rest of the time. Soon afterwards, I got bored just doing nothing.
"Hey Jake, you wanna do something?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure dude. What?" he replied.
"I was kinda hopin' you had some ideas."
"Eeeh, you wanna play Beemo?"
"No, not really."
"Theeeeen, how about we go to the Candy Kingdom? There's always sumthin' to do there."
"That sounds pretty cool." I said, "And it gives me a flimsy pretense for testing out my newest spell! Hold my hand."
Jake did as I asked, and I began to chant the arcane phrases that make up the teleportation spell. At the final phrase, I traced a circle around us in the air with my finger. Where my finger went, a blazing blue line followed. When I finished the circle, it expanded in height, and engulfed us in a cocoon of light, and we vanished, only to reappear seconds later in Princess Bubblegum's lab.
So I tried to make this chapter a little less romance-y and have Finn and Marcy actually go on a sorta-date thing. It worked! Mwahahahaha! *strokes handlebar mustache evilly*
