Fan Fiction: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake 8

Chapter 2

Fionna pushed through the last branches of the tree's to enter a clearing as big as her room. Directly in front of her were the Echoing Caves. A single mouth opened up to her, but miles and miles of different tunnels lay underneath the Mountain Doorcrag.

"Finally" She said brushing off the forest leaves. Looking around quickly Fionna spotted the Doorcrag springs. The boiling water was steaming and lovely, the little waterfall making little waves rippling out in bigger circles than the last. Rocks surrounded the pool, keeping any unwanted leaves towered behind them.

Walking across the clearing she noticed a thin canopy of leaves above. It blocked out most of the sunlight, but let enough in to light the area. It created a beautiful dappled pattern on the ground. So this is why Marshall wanted to meet here.

Fionna kept walking until she was at the opening of the caves. "Hello?" she whisper yelled into the hole "Marshall Lee, are you there?" A faint Fionna called back "Are you there, are you there, are you there…" but no other voice answered the question.

I must be early Fionna thought to herself. After kicking around some dirt Fionna put her backpack down and sat in the sandy dirt, enjoying the warmth of the sun. Everything seemed too quiet, so Fionna decided to sing to pass the time.

"Hm, hm, hmmmm. Marshall Lee. Can't you see? We're a perfect team, just you and me. Oh Marshall Lee, can't you see? How my heart beats, only for youuu. Oh Marshall Lee, do you love me? The way I love youuu..."

"Bravo, bravo! Hey did you come up with that yourself?" came a voice behind Fionna.

"Marshall Lee!" Fionna exclaimed as she turned around.

Marshall Lee floated across the clearing towards Fionna. He was wearing his usual plaid red shirt and dark blue jeans. An umbrella was slung over his shoulder, but he didn't use it because the canopy of the tree's held back enough of the sunlight.

"Hm, hey Fionna, miss me?" Marshall Lee said with a smile. Her answer was to run to him and kiss him with such force that both of them fell down, Fionna on top of Marshall Lee. Still kissing the two laid there holding each other.

"Yeah, I missed you that much too." Marshall Lee said with a soft grin when Fionna finally let go. Fionna blushed and sat up. Marshall Lee put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. "You know what I just realized?" he asked.

"What?" Fionna asked right back.

"This is our first official date."

Fionna smiled "Yeah, I guess it is." She laid back down on Marshall Lee's chest, cuddling up to him. She inhaled deeply. "You smell good" she admitted.

Marshall Lee just laughed "Really?"

"Mmmmmmmm, vanilla and death" Fionna smiled.

Marshall Lee just laid there almost like he hadn't heard her. Fionna sensed a shift in his thoughts and sat up facing him.

"What?" She asked. Marshall Lee stared into space before answering. "I was just thinking about what it was like to not smell like death" he said, a small note of sadness in his deep voice. Fionna observed him.

"Well if you didn't smell like death, then you wouldn't be here to enjoy me" she said hugging him. Marshall Lee sat up to look down at the small girl hugging his waist.

"Ever since I came back to the Land of Aaa, I've been fascinated with you Fionna. I would always think to myself how a girl could fight monsters and look so darn sexy while doing it. But I guess you're one in a million, huh?" he complemented.

Fionna giggled.

Marshall Lee laughed "And there's that giggle again. I didn't think you could giggle like a girl. But I guess there are still secrets about you that I don't know, huh Fi."

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me" Fionna said coyly.

"Oh, really?"

Marshall Lee started to move in closer "I know that you sleep like an angel at night. I know that you never run away from a fight. I know that deep inside you love me. There are a lot of things I know about you Fi."

His nose touched Fionna's, and still closer he came.

"I know that you like your milk luke-warm. I know that you hide form every thunderstorm. I know that one day you hope to find, a hidden tribe of your own kind."

He kissed her forehead.

"I know that one day you will be a great mother, greater and stronger than any other."

Marshall Lee lightly kissed Fionna's neck.

"I know that you are strong, courageous, and true. No, there is no one more amazing than you."

He kissed her collar bone.

"But the one thing I don't know, Fionna, about you, is how you stay so innocent and cute"

And as Marshall Lee finished his song to Fionna, he peppered her with kisses. Once on the cheek, thrice on the neck, on the mouth many times, and twice on the forehead.

Fionna closed her eyes and let him love her. Let him kiss her until both of them ran out of breath. And then Fionna showed her loving side.

Lying on top of Marshall Lee Fionna put both of her hands on his shoulders. Looking down at him, Fionna saw that his hair was askew. His shirt was unbuttoned half way down his well-muscled body and he was panting like he had just run a marathon.

How did I not notice how handsome and strong he was before? Fionna thought to herself. Marshall Lee's chest was moving up and down in a rhythmic way. Slowly, so as not to spoil the moment, Fionna trailed a finger down his chest and then up again.

Marshall Lee sighed and laid his head back as if he had just had a refreshing drink. "Fionna…" he whispered between pants "Fionna…"

Fionna leaned down, letting Marshall Lee rest his head on the ground. She kissed him lightly but with passion. Marshall Lee groaned and his breathing became more rapid. Fionna then kissed him harder, faster. Their mouths moved together, and there wasn't just Fionna and Marshall Lee. There was just one person and one mouth moving together.

"Marshall" Fionna said as they slowed down.

"Hmmm?" Marshall Lee mumbled from under Fionna's lips.

Fionna pushed herself off him. Marshall Lee sat up and looked at Fionna, concern plain on his face. "Fi, what's wrong? Was I biting your lip too hard?"

Fionna just shook her head "I'm worried about Cake."

Marshall Lee smiled and chuckled a little "Fionna, Cake is never going to find us here. We're safe…" He pulled Fionna up on his lap "…To do whatever we please." A lustful glint was in his eyes and he started to lean in towards Fionna to kiss her again.

But Fionna pulled away "No." She stood up and walked around the clearing before she stopped, facing the forest. Marshall Lee frowned.

Floating over to Fionna, he grabbed her shoulders and turned her so that she was facing him. Then, grabbing her chin, he gently led her sparkling blue eyes to his dark night ones.

"What is it Fi? You can tell me."

Fionna sighed "I'm worried about Cake. What am I going to tell her? What are we going to tell her?! That all of a sudden we just hooked up and now we're together! I'm just scared at how she'll react I guess…"

She laid her head on Marshall Lee's shoulder, wrapping her arms lightly around his thin waist.

Marshall Lee looked down at his jewel, his friend, his lover, his everything at the moment. She really is messed up about this he thought. "Look Fi. I don't care if Glob himself knows about us. Nothing will keep me away from you. Not Cake, not Gumball, not even you." He kissed Fionna on the forehead.

Then he did the unthinkable.

Marshall Lee grabbed one of the bunny ears of Fionna's hat. He tugged it off, releasing the waterfall of golden hair. It fell around Fionna's face, framing it with sunshine. Fionna blushed.

"You've only seen me once with my hair down" she said.

Marshall Lee smiled, fangs showing. "I like your hair. It's beautiful and pure, just like you" he whispered.

She looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her face. Reaching a hand up she felt where Marshall Lee had been bit. Fionna could feel him shiver as she pressed into the two shallow holes.

"Don't…don't do that" Marshall Lee barely whispered "Please, never do that again." Fionna glanced at Marshall Lee's face. He looked like he was in pure ecstasy.

"What, this?" Fionna said as she pressed them again. Marshall Lee gasped "Yes" he said through clenched teeth "Yes, that." Fionna pressed in again.

"Fionna!" Marshall Lee growled "I told you not to…" He went quiet. Fionna was kissing his neck, repeatedly over the very sensitive bite marks. Marshall Lee was helpless. Every time she kissed him there he would die a sensational death a thousand times over. Fionna just didn't know what she did to him every time she did that.

"Fionna…please…Oh Glob, Fionna!" He whispered, a pleading tone lining the words "Oh, please, more…take me Fionna! Just take me now!" He couldn't believe what had just come out of his mouth. Pulling himself together he looked at Fionna, who was looking at him.

"What...what do you mean?" Fionna asked, a small blush starting on her cheeks.

Marshall Lee could feel his face get red, and not just his cheeks. "Nothing! It means…nothing." He said a little too quickly.

Fionna felt like this was something she didn't need nor wanted to know, so she didn't ask again. Marshall Lee kept on blushing. He ran a hand through his hair, and wiped the sweat from his brow. How could I have said that to Fionna! He mentally screamed at himself. It's too soon for all that bizz. Why would I just all of a sudden blurt that out! Ugggg! Idiot.

Fionna just stared at Marshall Lee, watching him fight against himself. She sighed and wiped sweat from her forehead. Gosh it's hot! She looked up at the sky through the trees. The sun was only about half way through the blue expanse.

Wish there was a way for us to cool down. And then Fionna remembered. The Mount Doorcrag Hot Springs. She looked over at Marshall Lee who was still slightly looking freaked out. So Fionna put her hat back on, tucking her long locks back in, and started walking to the springs.

Marshall Lee soon realized he was alone. "Fionna? Hey Fionna! Where are you going?" he called, following behind her.

"You'll see" she said.

Fionna pushed through the last of the thin line of bushes. "There it is" she said to no one in particular.

"There is what? Fi, where are you…!" Marshall Lee came floating into the clearing "Oh, here." He looked around "So, why here?"

Fionna, who had been dragging her backpack behind her, now tossed it to the ground. "Just thought it would be nice after a long day of rolling in the sun" she stretched her legs. Already she was taking her hat back off.

Marshall Lee swallowed. "Sooooo…are we going in together? Like, you know just making absolute sure, clothed?"

"Well of course!" Fionna said indignantly.

"Hey just making sure" Marshall Lee said playfully "But if you wanted to –"

"Marshall!"

"Yeah yeah, just messin' with ya Fi" Marshall Lee said with toothy grin. Fionna glared at him but couldn't help smiling at the thought. Pulling off her shoes and stockings, Fionna walked over to the lowest edge of the pool, and dipped a foot in.

"Ohhhhh, it's warm" she said with a shiver.

"Well then in that case, cannonball!" Marshall Lee yelled. He had flown up a few feet and now dropped himself in the middle of the pool. Fionna tried to avoid the title wave coming at her but wasn't fast enough. The warm steamy water hit her with a splash.

Sputtering water out of her mouth Fionna looked out into the pool. Marshall Lee hadn't surfaced yet. It's just another one of his pranks she thought to herself. So she waited. But five minutes later she started to get worried.

Out of concern Fionna crawled over to the edge of the pool and looked into the rich clear water. "Marshall? Cut it out, you're scaring me. Marshall!"

Suddenly, without any warning, Marshall Lee sprang out of the water and grabbed Fionna. She screamed with surprise, but took in a gulp of air guessing what he would do next. Dragging Fionna from her perch on the side, Marshall Lee tumbled back into the water carrying her with him.

Underwater Fionna opened her eyes. An aqua expanse lay before her, some parts so deep that the water faded to black and she couldn't see the bottom. She swiveled her head back and forth, feeling the weightlessness of the water.

She spotted Marshall Lee a ways off. He was shirtless, showing off his muscles no doubt and his raven like hair waved with the ripples and tugging currents of the large pool. He was diving and swimming like a dolphin. He was so fast that he actually could have been one if only he were blue.

Fionna, forgetting about the physical limitations of water, let out a laugh. Then she breathed in. And nothing happened.

Letting out another breath Fionna took in a lot of water, but still nothing happened.

Cool, I can breathe underwater! She silently thought. Marshall Lee swam up to her and smiled.

"Fun isn't it?" he asked. Fionna's smile widened.

"We can talk underwater too? This is the best magical springs ever!" she said doing a summersault. Marshall Lee laughed at her enthusiasm. He had been to better underwater places than this. Some even had more surprises than this one. But he let her enjoy the trivial present.

As she swam, Fionna's hair went slick and sliding through the water behind her. And when she stopped it fanned out like a halo, floating in mid-water suspension, following the currents.

Marshall stared soft eyed at Fionna as she tried maneuvers that were impossible on land. Every now and then she would pull down her skirt to make sure she wasn't showing anything to Marshall Lee. But he could care less.

Fionna, exhausted of any other tricks, eventually just let the water hold her. Lying on her back, looking up to what was the surface, she watched as the sun came trickling across and down the water. When she reached a hand up shadows would spring down from her fingers, looking almost like see through capes.

Marshall Lee quietly swam over and grabbed Fionna's outstretched hand. She looked over at him and saw the way he was looking at her. His eyes were almost half closed and his eyebrows were relaxed. He had a slight smile through which his two longest fangs stuck out.

It was the most laid back expression Fionna had seen on his face since…forever. She looked back at him hoping that her facial expression mirrored his. Obviously it did.

Leaning in, Marshall Lee wrapped his arms around Fionna's waist and carried her up to the surface. When they got to the top, Marshall Lee swam behind the waterfall and laid up against a rock, making Fionna lay on his lean body.

Her hands against his bare chest made him feel warm, warmer than the hot springs could ever make him feel. Moving her hands up Marshall Lee's chest Fionna wrapped them around his neck. They were face to face now.

For a while they just stared into each other's eyes. And then Fionna pushed up close to him, so close that she could smell the death and vanilla mix, even on his breath. Slowly she leaned in and kissed him. Marshall Lee took it slow, nice and easy.

Grabbing Fionna's butt, he pulled her more on top of him so that she had a leg on either side of him, so that they strangled his hips nicely. Their mouths were moving together again. Their heartbeats were racing as time slowly slugged on.

Before either one of them knew what was happening, Fionna's shirt was being slowly lifted up by Marshall Lee. Feeling her tight abs, he let his hands roam with a mind of their own. The higher the shirt went the more his hands got excited.

But Fionna gently pulled the shirt down and put his hands around her waist instead. "No, Marshall Lee." She whispered to the vampire. For some reason Marshall Lee didn't like the answer, but he didn't question Fionna.

"When" he asked her in a whisper. Fionna, whose eyes were closed, didn't bother to open them. Instead she kept kissing him.

"Sometime in the future, but not now."

And a secret promise was formed between the two lovers. Sometime, in the near future, Fionna and Marshall Lee would, but not now.
