A/N: I do not own Adventure Time, further more I do not own any of the songs or games mentioned below.
I want to say thank you for all the reviews and for continuing to follow my story. FP had his fun but now its Marshall's turn. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 7: Double Date: Part 2: The Heart's Song
The lights of the studio cut back on and LSP is sitting on a bench in the studio audience.
"We are back from the commercial break. I am here asking the audience who they think Fionna will pick." He walks over to a random cupcake lady, "So ma'am who do you think Fionna will pick?"
She blushes and covers her face, "I think Marshall Lee, but if she doesn't want him I would definitely take him."
Hoots and hollers fly around the audience. LSP continues walking and stops in front of a goblin, "Hey sir, who do you think Fionna will pick?"
"I am not sure. Marshall is charming, but Flame Prince has a good heart. I can't pick they are both awesome guys."
"Well folks this is going to be a tough one. Well back to the date."
The lights go out and the monitor cuts back on.
The three are seen sitting in the limo FP and Fionna are on one side and Marshall is positioned across from them laying on his back. Marshall snaps his fingers and his guitar appears in his arms, "Hey how long do we have until we reach our next destination Fi?"
"Umm maybe about 30 minutes give or take, why?"
"Good, that last ride was a little dry so I am going to practice. I gotta a show next week and I wanted to try out this new song I was working on."
He floats above his seat and closes his eyes while fiddling with his guitar, trying to find the correct cord. He finally starts playing a slow seductive melody and begins to sing,
I'm dangerous, so dangerous
I'm dangerous, you better stay away
Stay away from me
I'm dangerous
The song was mild and sensual. His voice was like silk and Fionna was compelled to come closer. She walked over to him and sat on his stomach. Marshall finally opened his eyes to see Fionna perched over him.
"So I am guessing you like this song huh?" He said with a toothy grin.
"Maybe just a little…"
"Uh huh," He closed his eyes once more and went back to strumming his guitar.
I'm dangerous, so dangerous
You're a lone hitchhiker and I'm a traveling truck
You better not get on this ride, you might lose your luck
I'm dangerous
You better heed the signs, the skull and cross bow nights
Stop lights and yields, I'm slippery when wild
Cautions and red flags, I'm gonna cross that line
I'm dangerous
So don't you, don't you say baby
Baby I'm crazy, crazy for wanting
Wanting you badly, madly I'm serious
And you're so curious but I'm too dangerous
You better not kiss me once, you better not fall in love
I'm a pterodactyl and you're a wandering dove
I don't mean to be greedy but it's never enough
I'm dangerous
I'll tell you I love you and I'll believe it's true
Then I'll do something so bad to you
And you'll say I hate you and you'll be screaming in a dream
Where no one can hear you
So don't you, don't you say baby
Baby I'm crazy, crazy for wanting
Wanting you badly, madly I'm serious
And you're so curious but I'm too dangerous
You're idealistic so filled with glee
You see me as you're shining prince
But I'm a treacherous king
You'll accept my olive branch but I'm poison ivy
I'm dangerous, so dangerous
I'm dangerous, so dangerous
You better stay away, stay away from me
I'm dangerous
When the song was done he mindlessly started to adlib still trying to keep the melody fresh in his mind, "Taa daa daa daa, I'm Dangerous. Daa daa daa daa so dangerous…"
When he finally opened his eyes he was surprised to see Fionna inches away from his face.
"Marshall that song was so stimulating it makes me want to…" She swirled her finger across his chest with a lustful look in her eyes.
"Umm I am still here," FP said folding his arms and turning away.
"I am sorry FP you can always join in if you want." She flashed a seductive smirk.
Both guys sat there, mouths agape, trying to quickly comprehend what was just said.
Fionna laughed, "Too bad, we have reached our destination."
"Go around the block a few more times driver," Marshall yelled while swirling his finger in the air.
"No, we are getting out here. Grab my bag Marshall."
"Shit," Marshall and FP both said under their breath.
They got out and made their way in. "Marshall I picked Zelda's Ocarina of Rhythm Karaoke Bar. Since you love to sing, I thought this would be fun.
"Yeah, my vocal cords could use a little exercise, let's go."
The three walked up to the podium, "Yes I have a reservation for Fionna at the VIP table.
"The waitress looked over the schedule book, "Yes Fionna, let me take you to your table." The three walked behind the young lady squeezing through the crowded bar.
"Here is your seat; your waitress will be over shortly." She bowed and walked away.
"Damn Fi, this place is nice and we are right in front of the stage. This will be awesome." Marshall said finally feeling like he was in his element.
"Yeah you guys have fun, I will be back." Fionna picked up her duffle bag and walked towards the bathroom.
Marshall and FP were silent; they looked all around the club soaking in all the woodland ambiance. The stage was fashioned to look like a wood stump. There were vines and leaves draped all around the club. Mechanical birds, butterflies and fairies floated around and interacted with the bar patrons. Even the tables were scattered with leaves and twigs. A few minutes later a young red headed lady wearing an all green tunic, tights and hat walked over to their table. "Hello, I am Flame Princess and I will be your waitress tonight…would you gentlemen like… OMG Flame Prince is that you?"
FP looked up to the girl, "Flame Princess?! Oh my gosh, how are you? It's been years since I have seen you. What are you up to these days?"
"Well you know, still in school trying to get my masters, I work here part time. What are you doing here?"
"I am here on a date."
"Oh that's sweet, he's cute."
"Oh, no no no no. He's not my date. We are on this show, we are doing a double date with a girl named Fionna. It's a long story." He said rubbing the back of his head obviously embarrassed.
"Yeah, I am too good looking for him anyway,' Marshall said folding his arms and turning back to the stage.
Flame Princess gave a warm smile, "It's fine. Can I get you guys anything?"
"Umm give me a double shot of whisky, do you want anything Marshall?"
"Yeah a double whisky sounds awesome and a strawberry Martini for Fionna."
"Okay guys, I'll be right back." She walked away as Fionna was making her way back to the table. She had changed into a form fitting red halter top dress and her hair was cascading down her shoulder. Both guys jumped up and walked over to her.
"Fionna you look amazing." Marshall said pulling out her chair.
"Yeah Fi and that dress is gorgeous." Flame Prince said grabbing her hand to escort her to her seat.
"Thanks guys, I wanted to look my best on stage. So who's going first?"
"Well since this is my part of the date I think I should go first." He made his way on stage and stood in front of the microphone.
"Fionna yelled behind him, "Marshall it needs to be a love song. That's our challenge each of us has to do a love song," Marshall gave an acknowledging nod.
"I am a professional, I don't do karaoke," He snapped his fingers and the karaoke equipment was replaced by his band.
The owner came running to the stage, "Where is my equipment?"
"Don't worry its fine; it is in the last place my band was at."
Marshall looked back to his band members and quietly whispered, "Hey guys where were you at before I summoned you?"
"The drummer spoke up, "Oh we were surfing over at the lava pits, why?"
Marshall closed his eyes while grabbing the bridge of his nose, "Umm if your equipment is not okay, I will replace it."
The owner slowly walked off stage shaking his head.
"Sorry about that little mishap folks. I've got a special song for a special lady, 1…2…3"
The band played a slow, sultry melody.
Marshall walked all the way to the tip of the stage and started to sing,
I want to use my hands on your body,
I want to explore your rivers and your valleys.
From the top of your mountain to the depths of your sea,
I want to fuel the fire inside of me.
FP stood up grabbing Fionna's hand. He pulled her close to his chest and the two started slow dancing. Marshall looked down a little annoyed but continued playing trying to figure out what to do next.
LSP finally chimed in, "Marshall what are you doing?"
Marshall was singing, he could not cuss at LSP like he wanted to. "You better figure something out; FP is getting a little close. Get it together." LSP said and then quickly shut off Marshall's headset.
I'm your loverman, digging as deep as I can
I'm your loverman and I try for. I try for
I'm your loverman, going ask for best I can
I'm your loverman and I try for. I try for
Marshall vanished off stage but his singing could still be heard. No one even noticed he was gone until Fionna slipped out of FP's hands and was floating in midair. He was able to do all of this and still not miss a note.
I want to look in your eyes, pass the mask you hide behind
I want to know all of you, what makes you smile what makes you blue.
You know I want to please you, take you so high. Forget that you can't fly were just spaceships in the night.
He reappeared holding Fionna close to his chest gazing into her eyes. They stayed suspended in air as Marshall continued his serenade. The two were lost in their own little world and FP sat back down defeated. He looked back up on stage watching the band perform, just as the waitress returned with their drinks.
"Hey it's time for my break, your friend has a pretty nice voice, I would love to get a dance in before he is done."
FP gave a half smile, "Yeah, I would like that" He stood up and grabbed her hand and the two started to dance but he felt weird; he was not sure why he just felt off.
Your ripping your clothes off of the past
Making a new path and a brand new day
Baby come with me I'll take you away
I'm your loverman, digging as deep as I can
I'm your loverman and I try for. I try for
I'm your loverman, going ask for best I can
I'm your loverman and I drive for. I drive for
Je t'aime mi amore, je t'aime mi amore
Je t'aime mi amore, je t'aime mi amore
From the garden in Versailles, to the desert in Duba
From the top of the Great Wall we can touch the sky.
I'm your loverman, digging as deep as I can
I'm your loverman and I try for. I try for
I'm your loverman, going ask for best I can
I'm your loverman and I try for. I try for
Marshall floated back down to the floor sitting Fiona in her chair and moving back on the stage, "Thank you everyone. We had a blast." Everyone clapped and cheered as he made his way back to his seat.
He walked off stage snapping his fingers, however he did not want to look back afraid of how the equipment would look but to his surprise everything was intact. He gave a light sigh of relief before making his way back to his drink.
By the time Marshall got back to the table, FP and Flame Princess had also parted ways. Flame Prince picked up his glass and drank his shot, "Well I guess it's my turn."
He made his way on stage and flipped through the catalogue of songs, "Oh, I love the Gorillaz, I've got my song." He cut on the monitor and grabbed the mic.
"This is for you Fi," with that he started to sing,
Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So lets set out to sea
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
Marshall sat back and drank his shot. He reclined a little more in his chair, closed his eyes and tapped his foot. He thought, "He actually isn't that bad. Fionna said to choose a love song…This is a weird choice. Nice song and all, but I feel like it has a deeper meaning behind it. I wonder if Fionna got the same feeling." He looked over to Fionna who was sipping on her martini and slowly rocking back and forth. "I guess not. Hmmm it's just weird, but maybe I am over thinking things. I will keep my mouth closed and simply observe a little more."
So call in the submarines
'Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me
Up on Melancholy hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
"Thank you." He waved leaving the stage as a roar of applause engulfed the little club. He sat down to find another glass of whisky sitting at the table waiting for him. He gave a faint smile and gulped it down.
"Well I guess it's my turn. I am nervous guys." Fionna gave an apprehensive smile and made her way to the stage.
She finally made her choice and stood nervously in front of the mic. The music came on and she swayed back and forth with the beat trying to keep her mind clear.
I lie awake,
Marshall and FP were in awe, they could not believe that Fionna had such an enthralling voice.
Marshall turned his sights to Flame Prince, "Hey FP, you play drums right? I saw you in a club down in the Nightosphere."
"Yeah, I play. Why?"
"Do you know this song?"
Yeah, this is uhhh.." He snapped his fingers hoping it would jog his memory, "Destiny, right?"
"Yeah that's it, how about we give Fi a hand?"
"Sounds good to me."
The two walked up on stage behind Fionna. Marshall snapped his fingers and a drum set appeared before FP while Marshall's bass guitar appeared in his hands.
"I hate to admit this Marshall, but that is cool as hell."
Marshall gave a quick chuckle, "Yeah I know, like I always say, it's great being the Vampire King. "
I've gone to ground
I'm watchin' porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you but I still believe
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
The journey's long and it feels so bad
I'm thinkin' back to the last day we had
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you
Fionna looked back at the two and gave a warm smile while mouthing the words, "Thank you so much."
The two smiled back and continued playing moving in closer to the microphones acting as Fionna's backup singers.
When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny
On a clear day, I'll fly home to you
I'm bendin' time and I'm gettin' back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you
Fionna grabbed the mic from the stand as she worked her way over to Marshall. She continued singing while grazing her hands across his face. As she moved her fingers across his lips he placed a gentle kisses right along the tips. She then made her way to FP tickling his ears with her touch. She stood behind him and her warm breath set his nerves on fire making the hairs on his neck stand on end. She gave a seductive smile to both of them before she made her way back to the front of the stage.
When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny
Fionna closed her eyes feeling the song deep in her heart. She continued swaying controlled only by the rhythm as she prepared to bellow out the final notes.
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home
The guys ran up to Fionna, each grabbing a leg and lifting her up on their shoulders. The entire club stood to their feet and clapped in utter excitement. All that was heard from the crowd was "Encore, encore."
The three looked at each other before getting back into position "Okay one more time." Fionna yelled sending the crowd into a frenzy.
The monitor cut off and the lights in the studio cut back on, "That was amazing. Who knew they had such talent?" LSP said folding his legs while sitting back on the love seat. "Well guys, I am super sorry about this, however it's time for another commercial break."
