Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.
Marceline was strumming her guitar in her living room. The vampire stopped to go get herself an apple from the kitchen. Marceline was in a really good mood. The reason for her mood was partially due to Betty. Several weeks after the Bella Noche incident in Wizard City, the human had turned up at Marceline's house one day. Betty was trying to learn all she could about the Ice King and Ooo and she decided to go talk with one of the people she first encountered when she arrived in Ooo. Marceline decided to open herself up to Betty and she told her about her past with Simon and how he looked after her during the aftermath of the Mushroom War. It felt good to speak with another person about her past especially someone who had a personally connection to Simon and could relate with her loss.
Betty was sympathetic towards Marceline. It sounded like the vampire had a rough life, but thanks to Simon it wasn't all bad. Simon had raised and protected Marceline and the girl saw the man as a father figure, who was full of good cheer. It was then that Betty made a promise to Marceline.
"Marceline I promise, you I will figure out a way to bring the Simon you know back and that I will also find a way to prevent him from dying when he returns. I managed to talk Simon out of dying and made him take the magic of the crown back, by promising him I would save him. Now I'm promising you that I will save him."
"I'm holding you up to it." Said Marceline with a smile.
The two had shared a brief hug, before Betty left the house.
That had been a few months ago, but Marceline wasn't to concerned, she saw that Betty was smart, brave, and determined to get Simon back. The vampire had faith in Betty. There was a knock on the door and Marceline went to answer it. She saw Finn and Jake standing outside looking a little nervous.
"What's up?" Asked Marceline.
"Um...we have something to tell...you about Betty." Said Finn.
Marceline starred at the guys as they told her what happened with Betty and Magic Man. The news wasn't good. Marceline felt her blood boil as she gritted her teeth a little. Magic Man had gone to far and Marceline was going to make the martian fix the problem he caused. The vampire went into her house grabbed her ax and sun hat before heading out.
"Um...what are you doing?" Asked Jake.
"I'm going to make that jerk fix what he messed up." Said Marceline.
"Um he...doesn't help people." Said Finn.
"Oh his going to help me." Said Marceline as she flew out of her cave.
Finn turned to Jake.
"Come on man we better follower her and make sure she doesn't do anything to crazy. Magic Man might be a huge jerk...but not even he deserves to get killed." Said Finn.
"Fine...but if we die or get beaten up its on your head." Said Jake.
"Ok. We should also go get Glob's helmet back. I don't like something that powerful just lying around where anyone could steal it." Said Finn.
The two adventures chased off after Marceline as she flew in the direction of Magic Man's house.
