Okay, so I'm not going to update as much anymore because I'm going to think the story through much more. Also because of the challenge, which I'll tell you about at the end of this chapter. And another thing, Hambo will be in this story soon. I'm not sure about FP. This might take place between those episodes. I mean, did you see what happened to the Ice Kingdom? But it could be fixed easily on the show. Also sorry this is so short. I wanted to publish the challenge on my Birthday. Yes it is my Birthday today. And no I don't know why I felt the need to do it now.
Chapter 4
What?! What did I just say?!
I cover my mouth, a little to late, And look at Simon. He looks very surprised and very confused.
I can't believe I said that! I wasn't thinking. I was so distracted by him that I just blurted it out. Oh glob, he's looking at me. I need to say something now!
"I-I-I-I mean you look like my dad."
Crap! I'm just making it worse!
Before I can make things any more awkward he speaks up. "Are you going to drink my blood?" I look at him again and remember what people thought of Vampires a thousand years ago. "Oh nononono, don't worry. I'm not a monster. I drink shades of red not blood.
"Oh, okay. Then can you tell me your name, please?" When he said that a moment ago I was really hurt. But I know it's better this way. If he doesn't remember me then he might not remember the war. Or the crown. Or Betty leaving him.
I help him up and guide him to the couch and sit next to him before answering. "My name is Marceline," I look for a hint of recognition on his face. I see some.
"Oh, I know that name," I feel a mix of joy and worry. "The young boy and his dog were talking about you, I think," I feel another mix of disappoint and relief. but I'm still glad. If he doesn't remember me, then the spell must have worked.
But still, I have to ask. "What's the last thing you remember?"
He looks confused but answers me. "Um, well, I was going to my apartment to show Betty, my fiance, something I found. And then nothing."
"Are you sure that's it?" I have to have every detail. I have to make sure.
"Well, the thing I showed her was a crown," When I lean in he takes that as a sign to go on. "It's this gold crown with rubies encrusted in it. I got it from a dock worker in northern Scandinavia," he seems to be getting excited telling me this. But I know more about that crown then him now. "As I told Betty about it I was going to put it on as a joke. And then... nothing. I woke up in that cold place and that's it."
Good. He doesn't remember anything.
But I still feel uneasy. It's as if he might disintegrate and this would have been a dream. I start touching his face; fascinated about how smooth it is. I've never seen him like this, except in pictures. I don't notice how uncomfortable I'm making him until he speaks up. "Uh, as I said before, I have a fiance," this snaps me back to the present and makes me blush.
I turn my back to him to hide how embarrassed I am. After a long moment of trying to calm myself down. Simon speaks up. "You said I look like your father. What did you mean exactly?" That cooled the blood in my face.
What should I tell him? That I said that because I think of him as a father? And what if he asks me why I think that? I'll have to tell him that the crown was cursed. That he scared away Betty. What happened in the Mushroom war. And that he'll never go back to the world he knew. Or the woman he loved.
But I have to tell him. I have to tell him the truth.
"Your in a different world. An alternate reality."
I really am a monster.
Okay, here's the Challenge/Contest. I really want to have Marceline sing an original song for Simon. Unfortunately, I am useless when it comes to music. So if anybody out there would like a crack at it be my guest. Or if you know anyone good at this then tell them. I'll choose my favorite song. You don't actually have to record any music. Just the lyrics would be fine.
Also, the song shouldn't give any thing away for Simon. He doesn't know the truth. He thinks he's in an alternate reality where he adopted Marcy.
Send the me a PM if you're done with the song or if you have any questions. I don't know when this will end. I'll say next chapter.
