Fan Fiction: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake 6

Chapter 4

Fionna awoke with a start. It was late morning, and looking over at Cake's bed, she noticed that it was already made. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Fionna got up and went to splash some cold water in her face to wake herself up.

Thoughts were already running ramped through her head. Cake had followed her and had probably seen her with Marshall Lee, had probably seen the whole thing! Fionna could feel her cheeks getting warm as she thought about the hot springs. If Cake had been there watching when that happened… She jumped as she felt the freezing water hit her warm face.

Fully awake, she descended down the latter and walked into the kitchen. Cake was sitting at the table, sipping on something in her favorite mug. Fionna guessed it was hot chocolate.

As approached the table she started to think about how she could bring up Marshall Lee to Cake. Fionna sighed. Enough lies, I'm just going to ask her flat out. And if it does turn out that she doesn't know about me and Marshall… then she's about to find out.

Sitting down across from Cake, Fionna stared at the top of the table, trying to decide how to ask. Cake looked over the top of her mug. "Well good morning Fionna. I didn't hear you sit down." Another day of trying to get Fionna to spill is going to kill me Cake thought to herself. I have to just ask.

Fionna looked up at the cat. "Yeah, good morning Cake." She smiled to make it more believable. Cake smiled back. I just have to ask.

I just have-

-to ask!

"I have something I want to ask you!" The two said at the same time. They both stared at each other stunned and surprised. Fionna was the first out of her stupor. "You go first" she said to Cake.

Cake laughed a little. "Yeah, ok. Fionna, I haven't been very honest with you." She let out a sigh "I know all about you and Marshall. I might even know a little too much because, well, I followed you and saw…everything."

Cake looked down into her mug "I knew you had been lying about going to Gumball's and I just wanted to know the truth. At the time I didn't know that you and Marshall Lee even remotely liked each other. So you can guess my, uh, surprise when I found out."

Fionna blushed "So, you saw everything?" Cake nodded. Fionna blushed a little harder. "I knew you had followed us" she finally said. "Last night, when you had mentioned Marshall Lee, I knew that you had caught wind of something."

"So, when you fell asleep, I snuck into the living room and checked B-Ma's camera recording of the day." Fionna laughed a little "You weren't very good at covering your tracks." Cake smiled "Yea, I know."

"So, you're not mad at me?" Fionna asked. Cake looked at her sternly from across the table "Now I never said I wasn't angry. I'm sorry, but I would have much rather had you told me than to have found out the way I did."

"Even when I tried to bring the subject up about him, you still wouldn't spill! And even though Marshall and I are good friends, and I use that term very lightly, I still don't like you two together." Cake sat back with a slight frown tugging at the corners of her mouth "You do realize he's a bad boy? And bad boys always get in trouble. I just don't want to see him hurt you Fionna."

Guess I was right about Cake not understanding Fionna thought to herself. "But" Cake went on "I'm going to support you two anyways." Fionna sat up to make sure she had heard that right.

"Really?!"

"Yes really. I know you and Marshall Lee truly love each other, and it's not going to be me that tears you two apart." Cake smiled.

Fionna couldn't believe this. Cake was actually, if only begrudgingly, taking their side! Fionna jumped up and hugged Cake. Cake just sat where she was, a little surprised. When Fionna stood back and saw Cakes face she laughed.

"I was just so scared about how you would react to me and Marshall being together, and what you would do. I'm just glad there are no more secrets between us." Fionna felt lighter than she had in over two days.

"Hey, Cake. I'm going to go see Marshall and tell him the good news." Fionna said as she put on her backpack. Cake squinted at Fionna "Well, ok. I guess you'll be fine. Just be careful ok? And I don't mean walking there."

Fionna had already opened the door "I will, promise." And with that, the young adventuress ran out the door. Cake just sat at the kitchen table, sipping her hot chocolate. B-Ma, who had been awakened by the door slam, walked in.

"Oh, good morning Cake. Where has Fionna gone?"

Cake took a long sip from her mug "Off on one of life's greatest and most dangerous adventure."

Marshall Lee sat floating over the orange couch in his living room, tuning his axe bass. Every time he strung a hand over the fine chords of his bass, he couldn't help but feel as if Fionna herself was guiding his hand.

He would always start playing a mindless tune that his heart wrote instead of his head. And before he knew what was happening, he would start singing. Tones and emotions in his music that he didn't even know he had flowed from his mouth.

"I was searching all over for someone, knowing that you'd be there for me. But now that I realize that you are my someone, all the searching now seems bitter-sweet. I've wasted my life trying to find the diamond, the one that would be mine. When all along you were the one shinin', the one in front of me all that time."

"And now I realize how I could go on, how I kept on running and kept on growing. It was you that was my song, my very soul, without me even knowing. And now as I kiss you good night, and tell you sweet dreams. Remember, always, you are my light, my love, my Vampire Queen."

The words trickled from Marshall Lee's lips like a spring filling a lake. When he brought his hands down for the last chord, he hit a realization so stunning he stopped deadpan in the middle.

How could I have been so blind he thought to himself all of that is true. Every single heartfelt word is true. His heart knew what he felt for the human girl he had loved so long, but now with the secret let out, his very soul trembled with joy.

His bass slipped from his hands and hit the floor with a clang. Leaning up against a wall, Marshall Lee ran his hand through his hair, his thoughts going at the speed of light. Every girl he had ever been with had just been mere trial runs.

He had never loved them. Not like this. Not with a burning that would probably kill him if he couldn't control it. But wait, he didn't control it. Fionna did. Marshall Lee sank to the floor. He needed her probably more than she, or even he, realized.

He shook his head trying to clear it. There was just so much about her that he loved. He thought about her long golden locks, how he would, when he got the chance, run his fingers through it. He thought about Fionna's perfect face, her perfect eyes and mouth, that one tooth in the front that was missing.

Marshall Lee thought about her long perfect body, her perfect legs, and her perfect boobs. He blushed slightly as he thought about them. Her lean and muscled stomach, her perfectly curved butt, even her hands perplexed him. How they were soft but firm. Gentle but strong.

"Oh Fionna… you had me the first time I ever saw you." Marshall Lee whispered, remembering the day well.

It had been a sunny day in the Land of Aaa when he had arrived after a long hundred years of traveling. He had remembered a tree he had stayed in once, and decided to crash there for a while. He had carved his initials into it before he had left, so he knew which one it was.

But when he came to the tree, he found that someone had already built a house in it and was living there. Well he had thought Time to scare some chumps into giving up their house. He had snuck into a lot of houses, and this one was no different.

But when he looked through the window to see who he was going to frighten, all he saw was a beautiful girl and a cat, sitting on a couch playing a video game. He remembered thinking to himself Woof! Who's that chick? Never seen her around before.

Instead of sneaking in to take the house, he snuck in to introduce himself. Once inside he found out that the cat could talk. Weird. Quietly, he had tried to sneak up on Fionna. But what he hadn't known at the time was that Fionna was an adventuress, and nothing got past her.

When he was no more than a foot away, Fionna pulled out a sword form nowhere, and was pointing it straight at his chest. Her first words that were said to him were "I knew I had heard something."

He had laughed a little "Don't worry. I might be a vampire but I don't bite… much. The name's Marshall. Marshall Lee." And that's how it had all started. After Fionna and Cake had introduced themselves, they had helped Marshall Lee find a place of his own.

Marshall Lee thought about how he felt about her the first time. It hadn't been love at first sight, but more of an 'interested' feeling. And as time went on he went from interested to like, to more than like, to love. And now he felt like he more than loved her, if there ever was such a thing.

Marshall Lee just rested his head against the wall. And to no one but himself and the floor boards, he whispered the four most important words in his thousand year old life. "Fionna, I love you."

Fionna walked up the porch to Marshall Lee's house and knocked on the door. She took a step back as the door swung open. Marshall Lee stood in the doorway, floating a ways off the ground. As soon as he caught sight of Fionna he reached out and pulled her in for the longest kiss that has probably ever existed.

Fionna leaned into him. Walking back slowly, Marshall Lee led Fionna into his house. He kicked the door shut behind them and then pushed her up against a wall. Fionna pushed him back a little.

"I just got here and you're already kissing me like you haven't seen me in a thousand years. What's up?" Marshall Lee just shook his head "It's nothing. I've just realized how important you are to me and…"

Marshall Lee leaned in and started kissing Fionna again. But she wanted to know what he was going to say. She pulled away "And? …" He looked at Fionna, as if trying to decide whether to tell her or not.

"And… I think that we should…" He seemed to be struggling for the words. "I think it's time we take our relationship to the next level." Fionna's eyes widened. "Marshall…"

"I know I know!" Marshall Lee hurried on smiling. "It's a big step, but, I can't wait forever." Fionna felt herself getting light headed. Was he really saying what she thought he was saying?

"And, if you agree, then we will have to tell Cake about us." Marshall Lee continued. Fionna then remembered her very reason for being there. "Yeah, I was coming to tell you that Cake already knows. I found out yesterday that she followed me to the Echoing Caves."

Marshall Lee stared at her disbelievingly "Wait, she followed you?! And did she see..."

"She saw everything Marshall" Fionna said.

Marshall Lee made a face "And she didn't stop us? Well then… in that case." He smiled and leaned more on top of Fionna. But Fionna felt uneasy. "Marshall" she said trying to push him away "Marshall! I don't know about this."

Marshall Lee backed off a little. Fionna retreated back and sat on the rock hard couch. She put her face in her hands. Marshall Lee floated closer to her, but didn't say anything. He knew Fionna would have to decide for herself, and that whatever she said would go. He loved her too much to force her into this.

She finally looked up at him "It's just that, it's my first time being in this kind of relationship, and I don't want to rush things and… I'm scared." She laughed a little "You must think I'm a total wuss."

Marshall wrapped his arms around Fionna and hugged her "No, I could never think of you that way." He sighed "I'm scared too, and, I guess, I just want it too badly." Fionna looked up at him. He seemed sorry for bringing the subject up.

"No, no! I want to, Marshall! I want you too. It's just that… I feel like I'll mess up or something. I'm just nervous." Fionna started to play with her bangs, wrapping and unwrapping them around her fingers.

Marshall Lee looked down to meet the young girl's eyes. He could tell that she really did mean what she said. Oh Fionna, you could never tell a lie he thought to himself. "Fi, we'll take it nice and slow, ok?"

Fionna blushed. This wasn't a question, it was a statement. If she wouldn't make the first move, then he would. She looked thankfully up into the vampire's face. His raven dark hair, his white fangs, his sharp face, it all came together to make a perfect mirror of relaxation and calmness.

Fionna nodded without realizing it. "Ok."

Marshall Lee reached out a hand and gently caressed Fionna's cheek. This is it he thought the ultimate gesture of lover to another. The best gift I can give to her at this point. Fionna closed her eyes as his surprisingly warm hand left a trail of fire across her face.

If only he knew what he did to me every time he touched me she thought fuzzily if only he knew how much I love him…

And with that last thought going through her mind, Fionna gave herself to Marshall Lee.
