I want to say thank you for all the wonderful comments, they really keep me motivated. It's Marshall's turn, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4: The Third Date
The studio lights up to revealing a very excited LSP sitting on the very edge of the love seat. He wore a plum colored suit with a black shirt and accessories.
"Good evening, I am your host LSP and this is the Dating Game. If you tuned in last week you would have seen Prince Gumball and Fionna kick ass at an opera and end up staying together at PG's castle. I can hardly stand the wait anymore. Fionna can you hear me?"
The lights grow dim and the monitor cuts on.
"Yeah LSP, I hear you."
"So I see you finally made it home. Do tell, what did you and the sweet treat prince do last week?"
"Get your mind out of the gutter LSP. Yes, we stayed the night together but all we did was snuggle until we went to sleep. Nothing happened."
"Damn, oh well, at least I can say I am not bored. Your dates have been pretty intense, huh?"
"Yeah, really. I am almost afraid to see what will happen with the vampire king tonight."
"You look so cute tonight FiFi. Any idea where you are going?"
"To some bar or something."
Fionna wore a pair of skinny jeans with an off the shoulder white and blue tee shirt, blue converses and her hair was done up in a ponytail. She lounged in her arm chair chatting back and forth with LSP until she heard a knock at the door.
"It sounds like your date is here." LSP said with excitement in his voice.
"Who's going on the date me or you?" Fionna said with a cocky smile.
"Hey your last two dates have been pretty awesome. It's like watching a reality show."
"This is a reality show LSP."
"Open the door for your date and stop bickering with me."
Fionna opened the door to reveal Marshall Lee leaned up against the door frame. His head was down and his hair cascaded across his face only revealing a mischievous smirk. He wore a black motorcycle jacket with a tight fitted white tee underneath it. He had on skinny black jeans with chains hanging from the pockets.
He finally looked up to Fionna, "Hey baby, you look nice tonight."
"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself."
"Don't be shy, you can tell me how awesome I look."
All they heard was LSP laughing out loud at Marshall's comment.
"LSP isn't this the part where you say go ahead and enjoy your date?" Fionna said slightly annoyed.
"Fine… enjoy your stankin' date." The lights cut off in the studio and all that was visible was the monitor.
"Now back to you smart ass. Where will we be going tonight?"
"We are going to a bar that I usually play at but tonight some of my good friends will be playing. It's called the Gates of Hell, but most people just call it the dump."
"Oh sounds like fun."
"It will be, come on the night is young and we have a lot to trouble to start."
They walked outside to Marshall's motorcycle. He placed his helmet on and handed one to Fionna. When she was securely on, with her hands firmly wrapped around his waist they were off like a banshee in the night. Marshall whizzed in and out of traffic with great fluency. Fionna looked up at the speedometer and saw they were going over 90 miles an hour. She clung on tighter to Marshall and she had to admit this was very exciting and she enjoyed holding on to the self-proclaimed bad boy.
They arrived at a remote location out in the middle of nowhere. There was a little bar with a crowded parking lot. They got off the motorcycle, removed their helmets and made their way into the dive.
Marshall was like a celebrity in this place. Everyone he passed stopped him asking was he performing tonight and he gave a slight head nod no. They walked past the stage where a beautiful woman with an all-black cat suit and black framed glasses was performing. The music was slow and seductive as she opened her mouth to sing.
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out", I ain't lyin', yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Alright
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out", I ain't lyin', yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Alright
Her voice was like an aged cognac smooth and easy to take in. They finally made their way over to the bar and took a seat right in front of the bartender.
He was a tall dark man with a bald head. He wore an all brown suit and black sunglasses; his presence alone was intimidating.
"Was up Rodin, how are you?"
"What the hell are you doing in here Marshall? This ain't your night to play."
"Yeah I am here on a date, Fionna this is Rodin he is the owner of this wonderful establishment. Not to mention one of the best forgers of exotic weapons in all of Aaa."
"Really nice to meet you lil lady and he is right, no one makes weapons like me. I am a true professional"
"Hey Rodin get me a Red Hot Shot and what do you want Fionna?"
"What's good?"
"How about a Blue Witch's Heart?"
"Sure sounds good."
Rodin walked away to the back and started making their drinks.
"So Marshall you sure are not as over the top as you were when we first met. Is this one of the shades of red I am getting to know?"
Marshall gave a slight chuckle, "Yeah I guess you can say that, but don't worry that shade will be in full effect after a few of these Red Hot Shots."
Rodin came back with the drinks and placed them in front of the two.
Marshall took the red substance in the glass and sucked the red out of it before gulping down the shot.
He looked back at Fionna who was sipping her drink slowly not sure exactly what she was drinking.
"Hey are you gonna nurse that drink all night or are you gonna take it to the head?" LSP said chiming in on their date once more.
"Thank you," Marshall said obviously agreeing with the eccentric host.
"Fine," Fionna took her drink and finished it all in one gulp.
"That a girl, Rodin another round over here."
The two had gone through three rounds of shots when a commotion was heard outside. Rodin walked over to the door and looked out.
"Hey Bayo, your buddies Grace and Glory are outside waiting for you."
"Oh Shit. They always know how to mess up a girl's good time," With that the woman ran out guns in hand.
"Rodin I got this I can cover her until she gets back."
"Thanks Marshall I owe you."
Marshall floated on the empty stage in front of the mic. He snapped his fingers and a group of instrument wilding vampires appeared behind him. He gave another snap and his guitar was in his hand. Sending a quick wink over to Fionna he finally spoke.
"It's good being the Vampire King. Hello folks I am Marshall Lee and we are the Wrong Decisions, I would like to dedicate an oldie but goodie to the lady of the hour Fionna. How old are you Rodin? 1200? You should know this one," he said with a chuckle. "One, two, three…"
All of a sudden Fionna felt a warm flush over her body, whether it was because of her three shots or because Marshall had dedicated a song to her was anyone's guess.
The music started and the band was on fire,
Tonight I wanna give it all to you
In the darkness
There's so much I wanna do
And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet
'Cause girl, I was made for you
And girl, you were made for me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic
There's something that drives me wild
And tonight we're gonna make it all come true
'Cause girl, you were made for me
And girl I was made for you
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you baby
Can you give it all to me
Oh, can't get enough, oh, oh
I can't get enough, oh, oh
I can't get enough
Yeah, ha
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
Oh, I was made, you were made
I can't get enough
No, I can't get enough
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you baby
Fionna was completely enthralled with his performance. He had such passion in his music and every time he looked down to her from the stage she couldn't help but feel like a groupie with a crazy crush on the lead singer. A jolt of excitement rushed up and down her body whenever he flashed his pearly whites, something about him drew her in closer becoming stuck in the web he was seductively weaving.
After his song was over he threw up a rocker sign and walked off of stage while his band continued playing.
Just as Marshall walked off Bayonetta came back in dusting the feathers off of her black gloves. "Thanks for covering Marshy, I owe you." She said with a sexy wink.
She took her rightful place on the stage and continued wooing the crowd.
Fionna looked at the woman and couldn't help but feel slightly jealous.
"So did you like the song?"
"You were amazing Marshall, you made me feel special." The poor adventures face was as red as a tomato.
"Aww bunny you are special, do you think I would really go on a dumb ass show like this if I was not interested. That's the only reason I am here because I wanted the chance to get close to you."
"Hey this show is rated number one on the network, glob damn it." LSP interrupted obviously annoyed with Marshall's statement.
"Calm down purple people eater."
The studio audience erupted in laughter and LSP sat there with his arms folded. "Whateva, get back to your date."
Fionna laughed, "So what about her? Do you like her?"
He looked up on stage and then looked back to Fionna, "Who Bayo? Naw we are good friends. She is an immortal like me, well an Umbra witch to be specific. We use to hang together long ago before she mysteriously disappeared over 500 years ago. Out of nowhere she just reappeared and I have to admit I was really happy, she is like a big sister to me."
"Oh okay I was just…"
There was another loud crash from the parking lot forcing Rodin to go back and look out the door."
"Damn it Bayonetta, you got a Beloved outside my door. You know how those big mutha fuckers irk my damn nerves."
"Not again. At this fucking rate I will never finish my set."
"Just one Beloved? Don't worry Bayo, Fionna and I can handle it, so you just keep singing your pretty lil heart out."
"Marshy, what would I do without you. Give that bastard hell," Bayo said before getting back to her song.
Marshall stood up from his stool and bowed down in front of Fionna.
"Shall we my lady?"
"Yes we shall," Fionna stood from her bar stool reached in her purse and took out her retractable crystal sword."
They walked into the parking lot to see a huge white angelic creature wilding a large jewel encrusted golden axe.
"Its screeches are both the most freighting and the most alluring things I have ever heard before in my life." Fionna said.
"Yeah, this creature is from Paradiso, which is like heaven. It is hard to resist falling for these monsters, that's how they were designed. However, I am part demon and it has no effect on me. You on other hand, being human you need to watch out."
"Uh huh," is all Fionna could say as she mindlessly looked upon the magnificent creature. She just could not look away it was so majestic almost like looking into the face of glory itself.
The monitor went black and the lights turned on in the studio.
"Geez I am tired of saying this. If you are under the age of 17 or have a weak constitution we ask that you turn off your television. Oh and this network does not condone the killing, beheading, mangling or harming of angels or angelic like creatures. Now can we please get back to the date, we always cut it off at the good part."
The lights went off and monitor cut back on.
Marshall grabbed his axe in his right hand preparing for battle. The creature screeched again and came charging towards Marshall, crashing down its massive axe which shook the entire parking lot.
"Shit, that thing better not mess up my motorcycle." He thought as he leaped out of the way and flew to a safe distance.
The monster charged again, but it was not coming for him. He looked down to Fionna who was still in her trance.
"Fionna, wake up," Marshall yelled morphing into his demonic form while rushing over to the Beloved.
He landed right in front of the creature and locked arms with the angelic behemoth. Marshall stuck his teeth into its neck shredding it like paper and the creature screamed in horror. Reaching to the creature's sides he went for its arms twisting them back, breaking them off. The wounded creature fell to its knees in anguish before Marshall grabbed its head and snapping its neck. Its lifeless body tumbled to the ground and exploded into a pile of halos.
"It's screeches are so beautiful." After all that had gone on the only thing Fionna could comprehend were the beautiful tormented sounds of the beloved's demise.
Marshall turned back into his normal form and made his way over to Fionna, "Hey Fi, are you okay?"
Fionna continued blinking slowly until she finally was in her right state of mind, "Yeah I am fine. I couldn't do anything but stare. I felt so helpless."
"I warned you, they don't bother demons like Bayo and me, but human are susceptible to their alluring charm."
"Oh… Thank you for saving me. I feel foolish."
"Don't be, it's just one of those things you cannot control. Let's go back in and finish our drinks."
Fionna smiled while laying a sweet kiss on Marshall's cheeks before walking back into the bar. Marshall made sure to gather all the halos the creature had dropped before returning to the bar."
Claps and whistles rang through the air as Marshall walked through the doors victorious.
Bayonetta spoke into the mic, "Let's give it up for my little Cheshire, Marshall"
Basking in the admiration Marshall slowly walked back over to the bar before yelling, "A round of drinks on me."
The bar goers went wild as Rodin went in the back to prepare Marshall's huge request.
"So bunny after this round of drinks, I was thinking that we could go out to nightclub in the Nightosphere."
"Is it safe for me to go there?"
"Sure, you're with Marshall Lee baby, who would mess with me?"
Rodin came back delivering shots all around, finally laying the last two in front of Fionna and Marshall.
Marshall laid the halos on the bar, "I think these should cover all my drinks with a little left over for a Rodin's custom,"
"Right on baby, right on, hold on I will be right back."
He floated into the air and disappeared into a large red portal. Marshall cleaned the dirt from under his nails while he waited for him to return. The huge portal reappeared and Rodin came flying out beaten and bloodied.
"Damn it Marshall, you better appreciate this, it nearly killed me." He raised his arm revealing a gorgeous Katana sword. "This is Shuraba, it is a living sword with the pulsing heartbeat of Ashura the demon God of war. It is always seeking blood; the blade will even suck the very souls out of its victims. So be good to my baby."
Rodin handed the sword over to Marshall and he meticulously looked the weapon over.
"Here you go bunny, enjoy your new sword."
Her eyes twinkled, she could not believe that Marshall was giving her such an amazing weapon.
"Are you sure, this seems too good for me…" She slightly looked away as she finished the last part.
Marshall grabbed her chin and made her look him in the eyes, "Hey, there is nothing that is too good for you. If anything most things are not good enough."
She hugged Marshall tightly and took the sword into her hands feeling its overwhelming power surge through her body.
"Thank you Marshall, thank you Rodin. I will take special care of him."
"That's all I ask baby, I love my weapons, and a piece of me goes whenever I give one away."
Fionna and Marshall finished off their last drink and started walking towards the door.
"See yea on Friday Rodin"
Rodin gave a simple nod and went back to cleaning his shot glasses.
"See ya Bayo, until next time," he said with a quick nod and a faint wave.
"Until next time Cheshire Puss." She gave a slow wink and blew a kiss in his direction as he and Fionna made their way out of the Gates of Hell.
They got back on his motorcycle and before they placed their helmets on Marshall said,
"So I will need to go back to my place to get to the Nightosphere. I want to park my motorcycle home. I am not sure how intoxicated I will get," He gave an evil smirk and placed his helmet on his head, Fionna followed suit.
They rode off into the night as the moon shined down lighting their path. It was late, hardly anyone one was on the rode allowing Marshall to hit insane speeds. Fionna was fine with it; she loved the pulses of adrenaline that shot through her body. She was an adventurer after all. They continued riding until they found themselves going into a little cave with a cottage right in the center. Marshall stopped in front of the house and jumped off the bike.
"Hey Marshall is your hot sister/friend seeing anyone?" LSP said butting in once again.
Marshall let out a hardy laugh. "I thought Fionna was supposed to be the one making a love connection."
"Well no one said I couldn't make one too."
"Well to answer your question yeah she is and I think her boyfriend Luka loves your show, so why don't you say hello to him."
"Umm… geez…just get back to your date."
Fionna laughed, "You sure know how to get under his skin."
"Well he knows how to get under everyone else's skin. Sorry LSP you can be annoying." He said loudly into the camera.
They both chuckled and made their way to the vampire's house. The house was pretty clean despite the distressed rocker look that Marshall possessed. He walked over to the wall, drew a face, threw some milk over the face, and then chanted some words and like presto a purple and black vortex appeared in his living room.
"Ta da, Instant portal. Come on Fionna lets go raise some hell."
"Yeah maybe this time I can get in on the action."
They walked through together only to be dropped in a place of utter confusion. Beast flew through the blood colored skies. Crazy rivers of black ooze flew upward and disappeared into nowhere. Mountains grew, crumbled and grew again in a matter of moments. Fionna was sure she did not like this place.
"Ummm Marshall are you sure it's safe."
"Is the great Fionna afraid?"
"No it's just I am not a demon or a vampire, I stick out like a sore thumb."
"All walks of life come down to the Nightosphere especially our clubs, even PM comes down here to party."
"Really?"
"Yeah she was here 3 nights ago while I was playing a gig."
"Well if a candied maid can come and enjoy herself I guess I can too."
"So what's the name of the spot?"
"Lucifer's Last Resort…"
"Huh…. Okay sounds…okay."
Marshall chuckled grabbing Fionna by the hand leading her through a twisted maze of fire and brimstone. They finally made it to the club which had a line that wrapped around the corner.
"Marshall that line is crazy; we will never make it in."
"Yea we will."
Marshall floated up to the front of the line where the huge red demonic bouncer removed the rope giving him safe passage through.
"How did you…"
"I am the Vampire King and heir to the Nightosphere. I can come and go as I please."
"Oh.."
As soon as the two made their way a crashing wave of music hit their ears. There were creatures all around dancing, grinding, drinking and over all having a good time. The two made their way to the bar. "Hey Johnny, give me a double shot of the devil's blood and get Fionna a flaming martini."
The orange demon walked behind the bar preparing the King's drinks.
"So Fi, are you having fun so fat?"
I must admit I really thought you would be a jerk, but I am really having a good time."
"Oh I'm a jerk but I thought I would show you my nice side first."
The bartender walked over with their drinks. Fionna looked at it confused, "Um Marshall my drink is on fire."
Marshall grabbed his forehead and fell back laughing, "Fionna just blow it out. When you do, it will turn red."
She blew out the fire and like Marshall said, the white martini turned blood red.
"Impressive, I think I will get another one of these."
Marshall picked up his beer and gulped it down, "Another beer over here."
The bartender brought over another beer, and like the other he downed it.
"Another."
"Another"
"Another"
By the time Marshall was done 8 empty beer bottles were lined up on the counter. Marshall got up finally feeling a little tipsy.
"Girl it is time to sweat out these beers." He stood up grabbing Fionna and worked his way to the center of the dance floor. The music was loud; they could feel the beat thumping in their chests.
Marshall swayed with the music, "Fionna this is my song, dance with me."
Fionna was not sure exactly how to dance. She did not want to look stupid in front of Marshall. She quickly scanned the room to see what the other girls were doing. They all grinded and swaying their hips suggestively against their dates.
"Welp, I should follow suit" she thought to herself.
She walked over to Marshall, placed her arms around his neck and started to sway seductively. Marshall's eyes grew wide with lust as he grabbed onto her waist. At that moment the music was in control. Their bodies moved in sync, perfectly complementing each other. They looked in each other's eyes and no one else was there, there was no club, they were not in the Nightosphere, at that moment there was only Marshall and Fionna.
The two continued dancing while Marshall spoke, "Fionna, I am having a great time."
"Yeah, me too."
"Hey, wanna come back to my place, watch a movie and eat some brinner?
"Brinner"
"It's gotta be like 2am so it's a combination of breakfast and dinner."
"Uh huh…brinner," they both burst into laughter, stopped dancing and made their way out the club.
Marshall stumbled outside. He repeated what he did at home and the portal leading home appeared before them.
"Ladies first," he said letting Fionna walk through first and then following close behind.
They both landed in Marshall's living room and Fionna made her way over to his couch.
"So Fi, what do you want to eat?"
"You don't listen. What did I tell you on stage?"
"BACON PANCAKES, I remembered," LSP said with excitement.
"Damn it LSP, why don't you butt out," he ranted making his way to the kitchen.
"Soooorrrryy. Geezy peezy. I was just trying to help. Get back to your date" LSP said with venom with in his voice.
Marshall sighed and continued looking through the refrigerator, "Hey I thought I was supposed to make these pancakes if we embarked on tier 15."
"Tier 15? You mean have sex. Who says tier 15, what are you 13?"
Marshall blushed rubbing the back of his head, "I just like the way it sounds. It sounds bad in an innocent sorta way." He let out a nervous chuckle.
"Aww the Vampire King has a childish side." Fionna joked.
Marshall simply smiled and started making pancakes, "Hey Fi, place a movie in the DVD player, I will be finished in about 10 minutes."
"Sure," Fionna walked over to the impressive DVD collection. She slowly scanned looking for something to watch before laughing.
"What's so funny," Marshall slowly raised his eyebrows.
"You own The Notebook? Really" She pulled out the movie waving it in the air before falling on the couch laughing.
"Hey shut it, I think that it was a very captivating movie thank you very much." His face was now very rosy.
Fionna walked back over placing the movie back on the shelf, "Umm how about The Hangover? I love that movie."
"Sounds like a winner" Marshall finally made his way to the sofa having completed their meal.
Fionna placed the DVD in the player. She went back to the couch as Marshall handed her a plate of bacon pancakes. They ate and laughed until the movie was over. When the credits started to roll Marshall grabbed the plates and placed them in the sink. He came back plopping on the couch. "It's kinda late. Are you ready to go home?"
"Not really, I am really having a lot of fun."
He gave a devilish smile, "So what does the little adventure want to do?"
"You know what would make me happy?"
"What?"
"Sing a song for me. I have to admit when you were on stage earlier your voice was mesmerizing. A private show would be appreciated."
"Well thank you. What would you like to hear?"
"Surprise me…" She gave a seductive smile before getting comfortable on the couch.
"You got it bunny," With that he snapped his fingers and his guitar appeared in his arms once more.
"I gotta say that is freakin cool."
'I know, you don't have to tell me." With a sensual smirk, he stood up in front of his couch and gave his private concert to Fionna,
Touch me, I'm going to scream if you don't
Inside I know we have the feeling that you won't, oh no
I know it sounds confusing
But it makes a lot of sense
Row a boat across the ocean
Dig a hole under the fence
Touch me, I'm going to scream if you don't
Inside I know we have the feeling that you won't, oh no
I can tell by the way you smile
I'm smiling too, I see myself in you
I can tell by the sounds you make
When you are pleased, you see yourself in me
Touch me, I'm going to scream if you don't
Inside I know we have the feeling that you won't
How many nights
Can a soul so full of life remain untouched?
How can a soul make the most
Of what is whole and what is here?
I need a human right by my side
Untied, untied
I need a human right by my side
Untied, untied
I need a human right by my side
Untied, untied
I need a human, I need a human
I need a human
'Marshall…" was the only thing Fionna was able to utter before she slowly walked over and kissed him eagerly, needing to kiss the lips from which those beautiful words had escaped. Marshall dropped his guitar on the ground and grabbed her waist closing the gap between them. Their tongues intertwined as they were unable to control their primal urges. Fionna slowly pulled his shirt over his head, kissing his chest moving all the way down to his belly button before moving back to his soft cool lips. He purred against her lips needing her, wanting her in more ways than one. Marshall slowly moved his fingers over to her cheek and then back down to her lips. She softly kissed his fingers before moving again to his lips. He reached behind her head pulling her hair out of her ponytail letting it cascade down her delicate shoulders. He nuzzled his nose into her neck kissing, licking, and inhaling her sweet aroma.
Oh Fionna," he finally spoke after many minutes of quiet exploration. He stepped back looking at the beauty before him. He could take it no more; he finally picked up his bunny and floated her up to his bedroom.
"Get out" was the last thing heard before the monitor went black and the studio lights flickered back on.
LSP was lying on his stomach across the white love seat. His feet swung back and forth in the air as he finally looked away from the now dark monitor. "OH MY GLOB. Did you see that? Those two will be having fun tonight"
The crowd hooted and hollered sharing the host's excitement.
"Well as you all know, next week is elimination. Who do you think she will pick? I can hardly wait. Well until next time. I am LSP and this is the Dating Game."
A/N; Marshall is awesome... Next week is elimination so I guess I need to sit down and figure out what will happen next. Until next time, thanks for reading and please review.
