Marshall: Three Years Ago:
We kept away from each other for a couple of weeks. My brain told me it was right, we needed some time apart… but the part I thought was dead inside me claimed otherwise. So I decided to make amends and forget everything…
I would arrange a party. I hadn't had one in a while, and I knew Fionna would show up… The party animal that girl is…
I smirked to myself at the time; the girl knew how to be at party.
It was easy for me to arrange a party. I knew the people, and I knew how to get things started. I contacted them all, asking them for little favors. It wasn't that hard to get them to say yes, and then after calling so many people, a pattern came about. They all were returning the favor. The favors I had help them within the past a long while ago… All those favors were actually all done by Fionna and Cake… I just stood there, helping as little as I could. Those memories stood bold in each of my friend's minds, and they were eager to help me…
Now that I think about it… I thought each time after. When have I said thank you to her?
The party was planned, all the things I needed were prepared, and all the people were invited. That was the easy part.
The hardest part was inviting Fionna.
I didn't know what to do about it… Did I just tell her, but wouldn't that lead to an awkward conversation that I'm trying to avoid? Do I leave an invitation in her mail box? She could see me… I don't have invitation, and she doesn't have a mailbox.
I eventually figured out what I was going to do… I'd tell Cake. It was a really easy solution. I was just too nervous to see it…
Another obstacle came about: Cake and Fionna are always together. It's the strangest thing! I couldn't find one moment of Cake apart from her… I was time to contact Lord Monochromicorn. A pretty rad guy if you ask me… If he isn't assisting PG, or out with Cake, sometimes race around Ooo… I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind just taking out his girlfriend out once, on her way there, I could talk to her about it.
I went to him the next day. I tapped to him the details and he agreed. He told me he had to take her out any way. There was something very important to tell her…
I thought he was going to break up with her. They had been together almost four years. I didn't want to get involved in their business, and I just smiled and left.
When Cake went to her day, I told her.
She eyed me suspiciously. "I don't trust you boy… Fionna has been down in the dumps because of you"
but why would she be? I thought.
"Would you please just invite her to the party Cake, I don't like the space between us"
"Of course you don't" she said with her all knowing smile. "You love her"
I rolled my eyes, "I do not"
She shook her head and laughed, waving her tail. "Fine, I'll do it for Fionna"
She began to continue walking, so I asked her "Why is SHE so upset?"
"You boys don't know anything" She rolled her eyes. "Isn't it obvious? She-".
Cake's tail sprung up at the sight of Lord Monochromicorn, and she failed to continue her sentence. I'll see ya' later Marshqito!" She ran off with Mono.
I grumbled. She what?
The wait for the party seemed like years but it came… It all went fast. The cave was full of people… Drinks were served, and everyone I invited was here. Even a few people, should I even call them people? were in attendance. The only person I didn't personally invite hadn't shown up yet, and it was tearing up my insides!
"Yo Marshall" said Lumpy Space Prince rubbing his beard.
I floated down towards him. "What?"
"Nice party you got here, I'm so globbing happy you invited me"
I nodded, barely giving a care. "Anytime bro…"
LSP floated off to flirt with some of the Nightosphere ladies. I looked around the crowd… I saw many people, but not the one I most wanted to see. My eyes passed Nat, Alex, Mitzy, Patch, Kat, Hally, Luci, and a few more regular party goers. I was watching the flirting of two friends, when I saw a tall thing enter the room. Then I realized it was Lord Monochromicorn, and as I looked down Cake holding his hand. Fionna was at her side. My stomach did flips!
What do I do? I thought. Do I go over and say hello? Do I wave from over here?
I didn't know what to do, but before I even had a chance to decide, a girl I'd rather see out of my life, for good, arrived, Ashley.
"Hey Marshall, Nice party you have here" She jumped up bopping her white hair, and making sure to show off the little amount of breast she had. Matching her beauty, kindness and personality.
I scowled at her. "When did I invite you?"
"You didn't." She smiled the widest of disgusting witch smiles. "But once news spread about the party animal bringing his party back on in the Nightosphere, I had to make sure I didn't miss that…"
I rolled my eyes at the screech and happiness in her tone. "Why have you returned?"
It wasn't very surprising to me then that she would indeed do this… After our break up she had shown up multiple times. Always ending up with Fionna having to kick her nonexistent Panini butt.
If there was ever one chick I would hit… I growled.
She laughed. "You aren't excited to see me? I figured you would be… Oh come on, things have changed! I've changed… I'm here tonight to show you that…"
My eyes were searching for Fionna at that moment, and talking to Ashley was the last thing on my mind. My silence was a yes to Ashley. She would take whatever she could get.
"Alright then!" She smiled grabbing my hand and pulling me off.
The rest of the night did not go as planned. I couldn't find Fionna the whole time, and Ashley was at my side giving my cups of Red Wine to suck from.
It should have been obvious she was trying to get me drunk… but I didn't see it at the time.
So I went through tons of cups of red wine, and my eye sight got worse. It became more of a challenge to find the blondie. It also became a challenge to avoid Ashley's moves. I really regret this part of this day.
"Bro, are you okay?" asked a blue skinned girl, which I assumed was a vampire. By the short brown hair I realized it was Brielle, and not Marlene or Rue.
"He's fine!" exclaimed the annoying whiny voice that belonged to Ashley.
I nodded in agreement, as I was pushed away and brought into a corner by her cold clammy loveless blue hands.
"So how have you liked today?" Ash said trailing her fingers on my chest, as if she herself was trying to define the word slutty bitch. I have to admit, she did a pretty good job at it.
'Marshall push her away' my sober mind would have said (Well, it probably would have added, punch, kick, stab bite, tear destroy, and many other words that could cause physical pain to the annoying white haired animal). My sober mind though was currently unavailable. My drunken mind was open to anything.
So my drunken idiotic hand brought her closer, slipping my hand in the small of her back. "Fine."
She smiled, which I for a very long time was incapable of her. "I thought so" She leaned in for a kiss.
Drunk me was okay with this. Very okay with this I regretfully add.
The kiss is a blur, all I remember clearly is when Ashley's ugly face moved away from me, and I could clearly see the party. I could clearly see two rabbit ears, with blonde hair. Her frozen face was crystal. She had a face with a mouth agape staring right back at me in complete shock and my wrapped hand around the witch.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's heartbroken, said my clueless mind.
"You taste like wine" she smiled.
I didn't know what she was thinking then, but the moment her face turned away and headed out of the cave I knew I had a problem. Almost like instinct to know what was wrong with Fionna. I was worried and I pushed Ashley out of my way, making her collapse.
Which I now give myself thumbs up for.
I should have cared, but I didn't. I floated in the direction of Fionna… She was the only thing that mattered.
Ashley could have screeched my name with her shriveled annoying voice at this point, but I was either too drunk to realize, too annoyed to care, or too caring for Fionna's distance from me.
I couldn't see her beautiful recognizable unforgettable frame anymore, and I was concerned.
The party was loud, and I couldn't hear her. People talked all over the room. There was no sign of her… I headed out of the cave, and there she was stomping away like nobody's business.
"Fionna, why are you leaving?" I questioned floating down beside her in zig zag lines not being able to keep my balance… Even in the air.
She glared at me her eyes full of tears, which made me almost fall out of the air. That had nothing to do with the red alcohol in my system but the inability to see Fionna in any type of pain what so ever.
"What do you want? I'm only leaving!" she said in her stubborn sweet voice, letting a flush of pink anger come to her face. That made her only a million times cuter.
I rushed to her, acting solely on not being sober and attacked her teary face by wiping them.
"What's wrong?" I cooed. I was drunk alright? Very drunk.
She pushed me away hard. "I know Marshall that I'm still some dumb kid to you, but you could pay a little more respect to my feelings" she stomped down with her feet, her blonde hair, which now past a bit over her shoulder, bounced up.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
She kept walking but talking. "Maybe not invite me to a party in which you are going to fondle all over your ex, and show it off to me that I'm just not the one you want"
"Fionna! What are you talking about?"
"Marshall, what the hey is going on with you? Do you not remember? My birthday week, where you totally denied having feelings for me leaving me heartbroken?"
Drunk me, had no idea what to say to that. Sober me… Well, I'd hope sober would have hugged her, confessed, kissed her, taking her back to party, yelled out for our love, and danced the night away… but in all honesty, he'd probably be as clueless as the influenced me.
"Fionna, you like me?"
She rolled her eyes. "Marshall quit making fun of me! I get it already!"
"I'm not- I thought something else" Sober me wouldn't have told her that.
She looked back at me, her eyes shiny and annoyed. "What?"
"That you had realized how I felt for you." Sober me definitely wouldn't have said that either
She quickly turned back, surprised as ever and said. "What? Marshall don't be messing with me…"
"I'm n- You like me?" I couldn't think straight, most likely due to alcohol or Fionna's confession, or the adorableness of a curious Fionna.
"You like me?" She repeated back, a blush filling her cheeks.
I nodded, and I had to tell her what sober me was thinking…
We can't pull this off… we can't do this… Our age difference, my immortality, your purity and so many more things, I can't ruin you. Drunk me only wanted what my conscience was keeping me away from. I leaned towards her, wanting to know for sure.
I felt her little hands push my chest, with a smirk on her face.
"You're drunk"
I nodded, my head in her neck, breathing softly.
"We can't do this… not until you're sober and all with me…"
I looked confused "but-"
"But now I know. I mean, you told me once. You're most honest when you're drunk"
She had me there.
Fio kissed my cheek and smiled at me. "You aren't going to remember anything tomorrow…"
"Could you remind me" I sang.
She shook her head. "Oh no… I have to be angry with you for so many things… and whatever went down with Ashley is all blackmail"
I have taught her too well.
