"No." Marshal said simply, floating past her into his house.
Marceline stood there dumfounded for a moment, before rushing after him. "WHAT!?"
"I'm not going to the Nightosphere."
Marceline sighed, aggravated. "Fine. Open the portal for me then, and I'll go in there by myself and probably die and give this to Hunsine." Marceline held up the black box.
Marshal had a temporary staredown with her. "I'm not going to let you die. My mom will eat you."
"She should be expecting me."
"She'll eat you."
Marceline huffed. "Well, I'm not leaving until you let me into the Nightosphere. I had to come all the way from Ooo, find the Candy Kingdom, get Prince Gumball to help me get here, and find you, get in a fight..." Marceline trailed of for a moment. "For nothing!"
"Pretty much."
Without another word Marceline stocked past him. She grabbed some white chalk, and drew a phil face on the wall. She splashed milk she had taken from Marshall's fridge and waited.
And waited.
Marceline threw herself to the ground in frustration. "AUGH!" She glared daggers at Marshall Lee. "UGH. You're a real dick you know that?"
Marshall chuckled. "Because drawing a face using MY chalk, on MY wall, splashing it with MY milk, had no effect but making a mess YOU have to clean?"
"Mmrghmmph." Marceline muttered some indestinguishable words before grabbing a towel. She picked the nicest, most expensive looking one and wiped the chalk and milk off the floor and wall. She then proceeded to throw it in Marshall's face.
"Dude, was that necessary?" Marshall exclaimed. He wiped the milk off his face.
"Yeah." Marceline said simply, shrugging. "You earned it."
"Well, so far you owe me milk, and a towel."
"Nope. That's the price for not taking me to the Nightosphere."
Having reached a stalemate, Marshall Lee and Marceline just glared at eachother for a few minutes.
"She's not going to give up..." Marshall thought.
"He's so stubborn!" Marceline though.
"You need that milk if you want to get to the Nightosphere." Marshall stated.
"Mhmm. And if you don't take me to the Nightosphere, you get to come back to Ooo and see my father and royally apologize for being an asshole."
Marshall sighed. "C'mon babe, can't we just get along?"
Marceline rolled her eyes. "Maybe."
Marshall smirked. He then flew over to the closet and grabbed a large hat similar to Marcelines, but more cowboy-guyish. "Okay, well let's go out. Maybe get some milk or something."
"Marceline smiled for the first time in his presence other than laughing at his bat form. "Yeah."
They flew out of the cave, flying towards the Candy Kingdom. "This is the closest place to get it, so..."
"Yeah, that's cool." Marceline shrugged. She didn't mind Prince Gumball or his candy citizens too much so far. When Marceline landed and was about to start walking, Marshall pulled her behind a tree.
"Hold up!"
"What?"
"We have to sneak..." Marshall said, lowering his tone.
"...Why?"
"Uh... Let's just say Prince Gumball sorta banned me from the kingdom..."
"Marceline snickered. "Hahaha, okay. Why don't we just turn invisible or something?"
"Oh. Yeah." Marshall said, blinking. He had never considered that. He mentally slapped himself, all the times struggling not to get shoved out by guards, he never even CONSIDERED that...
Marceline turned invisible, Marshall following suit. He visiblized breifly again to tell her where she was going, "Look for a store that says 'groceries'. It's a very creative title, believe me."
They flew onto the city streets, avoiding bumping into citizens. They slipped into a store on the corner. Marshall turned visible again. Marceline followed suit, following him as he picked up 2 cartons of milk, and various red foods including strawberries and apples. They quickly rished to the casheir when Marceline noticed a guard outside the window.
"Marshall!" she whispered. "Go invisible!"
"Huh?"
Marceline turned invisible just as a guard walked in. Marshall saw him and quickly changed as well. He slowly put money on the counter, leaving quickly with Marceline. They rushed out of the kingdom, stopping at a forest on the outskirts. Both returned visible. Marceline smirked.
"See, dude. You NEED me."
"...Whatever."
Marceline smirked. "Well c'mon. My dad said I had to get this to the Nightosphere as soon as possible, so..." Marceline referenced the box in her hand.
"Yeah, yeah..."
Marshall Lee and Marceline floated silently through the forest. They didn't feel the need to talk about anything, both left to their own thoughts until Marshall noticed something familiar. Or more specifically, someone.
"Hey look, it's Prince Gumball!" Marceline said. Marshal shushed her.
"And Fionna."
"Uh huh, so what does that mean?"
She didn't get an answer as Marshall floated up into the treetops. He floated closer to their location. Marceline followed, curiously. Marshall and her watched as Prince Gumball and Fionna sat underneath a tree, chatting. Their voices semmed to fade out, as the two started to whisper and lean closer to each other...
"WHOA! Hold up!" Marshall was unable to contain himself as he flew out of the tree.
"MARSHALL LEE!" The two said in unison, blushing.
"Dude, is this necessary?" Marceline stated, floating after him.
"Marceline?" Prince Gumball exclaimed.
"WHAT THE MATH DUDE!" Fionna exclaimed. She tried to throw a punch at Marshall, who dodged it and bumped into Marceline.
"Yeah, we're going now." Marceline tugged on Marshall's arm and pulled him away from Fionna and Gumball, in the direction of his house. They floated in silence, Marceline towing Marshall who just had a sulky expression. When they reached their destonation Marceline turned to face him.
"Okay bro, what was that?"
"..."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"..."
"Well okay. I'm going to go eat some strawberries." Marceline put the box down and took the groceries from Marshall. She then began to float off towards the kitchen.
"Let's go."
"What?" Marceline spun around again.
"We're going to the Nightosphere."
