Chapter 4: Good Cops, Bad Cops and One-sidedness
Okay, I just got a totally amazing and exciting idea to a certain reviewer, kevinkev18. Welcome to a new chapter with a small yet significant hint of one-sided Finnceline!
Enjoy. Or not. If you don't enjoy, you can sit there and expect me to care.
Fionna's POV
Today, while Marshal was out for food in the morning (today's Sunday morn, just a few while before I leave) I decided to go solo on good cop/bad cop on Marceline.
You see, yesterday, I began to notice a little detail. She induced me into walking straight into that "hickey trap". And even though it's already healed, Marceline seemed to somehow play tricks on me as if she knew me. And believe it or not, that is suspicious for most people.
As she watched T.V., I decided to make my first appearance as good cop.
I walked in front of the T.V. and said,
"Hey Marcy, can I have a talk with you?"
She groaned loudly and rudely. "Yeah, whatever. Can you just not block the screen? I am watching it, you know."
I stepped away from the television and grabbed a chair. I sat across from her and switched instantly to bad cop. Sort of.
"Why the tricks?" I asked. That caught her attention, because she switched off the T.V. and looked straight at me.
"Come again?" she asked.
"Don't play with me Marceline," I said. As of then, I had no absolute control over my words. "You were playing mind tricks with me to try to mess me up, which you kind of did, but all the time, it seemed like you already had done this kind of games before. Like you knew me."
I paused to let out a slight smirk. "Is my cousin that familiar? Or are you also together?"
Then, out in the open field that was the living room, anyone could see, that Marceline's cheeks turned red. Yes, she was blushing.
"Uh-n-no! N-no, we're not. And n-no, your cousin is not that familiar. It's ju-just that I used to hang out with him a lot and...Oh, don't mention any of this to my brother, would ya?" she whined. "Sure, he's my brother, but the bad thing is he's my brother! Any part of this conversation could be used against me."
I raised and eyebrow. For a response, that was longer than I expected. "Deal," I said, "Your secret's safe with me. But answer my question, why did you play all those little tricks?"
Marceline sighed. "You know, you're the only girlfriend my brother's had that hasn't broken his heart...yet. And well, he never got that far along Relationship Lane with Ashley, his ex-girlfriend. All I wanted was to...I dunno, see him grow up. He is 5 years younger than me."
I nodded and dropped the whole good cop/bad cop scheme.
"We cool?" Marceline asked.
I put a finger on my chin. "Hmm...I guess. Sure! Just don't play tricks again, got it?" I warned.
"Got it," she replied, "As long as you keep that secret safe."
"My lips are sealed," I replied.
Woo! This chapter was exciting, wasn't it? Aw shucks, it wasn't. But this is the second-to-last chapter, so be on the lookout for the last!
Also, I want to thank again kevinkev18. Because without you, the idea wouldn't have surged. Thank you!
Bye!
