Chapter 5
Marshall Lee picked Fionna up into his arms. Slowly he glided through the air, up the ladder, and into his lair. He put Fionna on his bed while he firmly shut the curtains over his window, causing the room to go almost pitch black. Finally he sat on the bed beside Fionna.
She looked at him wondering if he was just as nervous as her. They had only been together for two days, and it seemed a little fast. Maybe I'm not thinking this through enough she thought to herself. But she knew that her mind was as clear as the day she had fallen in love with Marshall Lee. Bright and sunny and beautiful. Just like him.
Marshall Lee watched Fionna's face carefully, trying to telepathically see what she was thinking. Was she ready for this? Heck, was he even ready for this?! It had taken a thousand years, but he had finally found his soul mate, even if he didn't technically have a soul. And now, after a thousand years of fantasizing about it, he was about to sleep with her.
Fionna peered up into Marshall Lee's thin face and gave a slight smile. Leaning in, she put her hands on Marshall Lee's chest, and gently kissed him. Marshall Lee in turn cupped Fionna's face in his hands, caressing her soft milky skin with his thumbs.
All of a sudden candles all around the room lit up. Marshall Lee and Fionna pulled apart to watch as the magic spread, bathing everything in a flattering light. Marshall Lee turned to say something to Fionna, but the words caught in his throat. She was so stunning.
The flickering glow of the candlelight made her face look so breathe taking, Marshall Lee was sure he would never be able to breathe again. Her usual golden hair was like a halo framing her face. The shadows mimicked flairs of a deep brass to a light gilded color.
Her baby blues shown and glimmers, showing shades of blue he had never noticed before. She had a slight dumbfounded but surprised smile.
"An angel…" he found himself whisper.
Fionna turned to see Marshall Lee drooling over her. She blushed, and hoped that it wasn't noticeable. She lightly punched him in the arm. "Hey, did you do this?"
Marshall Lee was awoken from his daze, "Huh,… oh, yeah"
He looked out at the spectacle "I learned some knew fire magic from Fireita. Thought it would come in handy. Guess I was right." He reached over and wrapped him arm around Fionna's waist. Pulling her closer, he leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead.
She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. They were stalling she knew, but it was a good stall. One they both probably needed before they started what they were really there for.
Marshall Lee rested his head on top of Fionna's. He kept thinking over and over about her face in the wavering luminosity. So young he thought does she really want this? Or have I just been pushing her. Maybe she is only doing this for me.
He frowned. He didn't want Fionna to do this just for him. He wanted her to make the decision herself. He let out a sigh. Fionna looked up at him, seeing the grimace still stuck on his face. She sat up and faced him "Marshall, what's wrong?"
He lowered his head a little. "Are you sure this is your decision?"
Fionna looked surprisingly back at Marshall Lee "Yes, of course." He looked down at the girl he loved so much. There was uncertainty in her eyes, and it made Marshall Lee feel weird. It made him want to punch himself, and apologize for backing Fionna into a corner like this.
He sighed again "Fionna, you're doing this for me aren't you? Tell me the truth." He looked back up at her. She could see through his shield into what he was really feeling. She saw anger and remorse. Fionna didn't say anything. It was hard to see Marshall Lee like this, even if what he said was true.
After a long strained pause finally she said something. "I..I was doing it for you. But, I do want to, it's not that I don't! Just, not now. I don't know when, but I don't think I'm ready to get that serious with you Marshall… I really am a wuss."
The last statement was more for comical relief, but Fionna started to cry. Marshall Lee's eye's widened. He grabbed her and pulled her into his chest. "Fionna, don't you ever think that way about yourself. Shhhhhh, Fi, please don't cry!" She grabbed the front of his shirt and held on for dear life.
"But it is true! I'm not good enough for you. H-how could you love someone as s-stupid and un-unmathmatical as me?!" Fionna stuttered as she started to hiccup.
And Marshall Lee finally understood. Relief and more anger surged through him. It wasn't him making her nervous and fretful. It was her own thoughts and opinions of herself.
How can I make her understand? How?! Marshall Lee all of a sudden pushed Fionna off of him. Then with an iron grip, he grabbed Fionna's shoulders and made her look into his eyes.
"NO." he said forcefully. Fionna stared up at him with wide blue eyes, her pupils swimming in her tears. Her face was flushed and there was a slight blush on her cheeks.
"No, I don't love you. I love a girl named Fionna. She is wonderful and beautiful and strong! She cares about others before caring about herself. She is an adventuress, not afraid to look death in the face and blow a raspberry…"
Fionna sniffed and laughed at this.
"… and one other important thing is that she doesn't cry for anything. She didn't cry when Prince Gum-wad rejected her. Or when Cake got sick and almost died."
"She didn't cry when she lost her very first pet, and she sure as heck never cried when she got hurt…but why now?" said Marshall Lee in a whisper voice, drawing Fionna closer. "Why would you insult yourself and cry over that?"
He smoothed not-Fionna's hair away from her tear soaked face. "No, I don't love you, but I love Fionna the adventuress, my adventuress. Now would you please go get her so that I can show her the most romantic day of her life?"
Fionna was smiling by the end of his speech. She threw her arms around his small waist and hugged his so hard he thought he might just get skinnier that he already was. That's right, smile baby.
"Ok, I will go and get her." Fionna closed her eyes and when she opened them there was no doubt this time that she was Fionna. Marshall Lee smiled and leaned in towards her "Oh, hey Fionna. Did you miss me as much as I missed you?"
Lifting her chin, Marshall Lee promised to never let her go, and then sealed the oath with a kiss.
When Fionna awoke, she was in Marshall Lee's arms, lying on his bed. Without even realizing it she made sure that they were clothed. She breathed a sigh of relief. They were. How close they had come, she thought to herself, to making a decision that could have ended them?
Fionna smiled. But they weren't broken; they were as whole as ever. What happened that day would remain in Fionna's heart forever. It was truly the most romantic day of her life. She took in a deep breath and let it all out again.
This aroused Marshall Lee. Opening his eyes, the first thing that he saw was Fionna. Smiling he wrapped his arms around her even more, holding her close. "Mmmmm, good morning…" He mumbled.
Fionna laughed "You mean goodnight?" Marshall Lee looked at her, and then it hit him. "Oh, yeah, forgot you came in the early morning. So, what time is it now?" He scanned his room, searching for the digital clock. Finally finding it he focused on the red numbers. It read 11:40.
"It's pretty late." Marshall Lee said snuggling up to Fionna. She sighed and laid back into him. They fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. They stayed like that for a while, and then Marshall Lee broke the silence.
"What do you want to do?" He said as he propped himself up on his elbow. Shrugging her shoulders Fionna turned so that she could snuggle her way in between the pillows and Marshall Lee.
Marshall Lee leaned his head down and gently kissed Fionna. But before they knew it, he was on top of her, taking what little breath she had left from the day's activities. Suddenly Marshall Lee looked up. His muscles tensed and he turned around to face the shadowed window. He whispered something to Fionna but she couldn't understand it.
"What?"
"There is someone out there." He whispered louder. Fionna sat up next to him and strained to hear what he could. There was a sudden knock at the door. Then, out of nowhere, a voice called through the peaceful silence.
"Hey Marshall Lee, are you home?"
Marshall Lee and Fionna exchanged a surprised glance. Both of them could recognize that voice a hundred miles away. It was Prince Gumball.
What would he be doing here at a time like this? Fionna thought hearing Gumball pound on the door again. She went to get out of the warm bed to open the door, but Marshall Lee grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.
Shaking his head, he floated out from under the covers and peeked through the curtains of his window. There, just barely visible through the midnight gloom, stood Prince Gumball. But something wasn't right. He had a snarl on his pink gummy face and he looked stiff and stern.
Marshall Lee frowned what does that pink haired devil want now. He motioned for Fionna to come and look. Creeping out, she quietly looked out the window.
"What is he doing here?" She asked, voicing their question. Marshall Lee just shook his head "I have no idea. But I don't want him seeing you. Who knows what he'll think, and who he'll tell. I don't want him finding out like this."
She nodded, agreeing that now would not be the best time to reveal their relationship to the candy prince. Marshall Lee kissed Fionna on the forehead. "I'll be back in a moment" he promised and then floated out of the dark room.
Fionna turned back to watch through the window. She heard Marshall Lee unlock his door. After a while of waiting, she heard Gumball's shoes cross the living room followed by Marshall Lee yelling "Dude, what's your problem!" Listening carefully, Fionna caught only a few words between Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball.
Then Marshall Lee shouted "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" followed by footsteps coming up the ladder. Fionna sucked in a breath "What the hey hey?"
Marshall Lee descended the ladder and stopped at the door. Unlocking the bolts, he opened the door to a smiling plush face. Prince Gumball stood on the porch, his hands behind his back, and his friendliest face on.
Why is he smiling all of a sudden? Marshall Lee thought. Catching sight of Marshall Lee, Prince Gumball made a formal bow. "Good evening Marshall Lee! Nice night we're having, hmm?" Something was off about Gumball.
"Yeah, nice" Marshall Lee said suspiciously "Why are you here?"
Gumball smacked his head "Oh, how rude of me. I'm looking for Fionna." He squinted at Marshall Lee, his expression turning sour "I went by the tree house to ask her something, but she wasn't there. I finally squeezed out of Cake that she had come here earlier, and hadn't gotten home yet."
Both males stood there observing each other. "She's not here" Marshall Lee finally said breaking the stare "She left forever ago. Go look somewhere else." He went to shut the door, but Gumball stopped it with his foot.
"Mind if I come in, then?" He said pushing the door open with surprising strength. The door hit Marshall Lee as Gumball swung it back open. He hissed "Dude, what's your problem!" Gumball said nothing. Instead he sat down on the orange love seat.
Marshall Lee looked at him, anger clear through his eyes. Gumball seemed unaffected. He just looked at him as if nothing had happened. Then he sighed and laid his head in his hands. "I'm sorry Marshall. It's just that I'm worried about Fionna."
This came as a surprise to Marshall Lee Ok that was unexpected. He floated over to the opposite wall and leaned back on it "So, why are you worried about her?" The question was met with another, deeper sigh.
"I don't know, I just… I'm just worried about her these days. And now she isn't with Cake, and something could have happened, and I just can't help but worry and obsess over her…"
"Wooooh, hold on there. What did you just say? Obsess over her?! What the crap man!" Marshall Lee stared at Gumball, a dumbfounded face showing on his sharp features. He floated over and sat on the couch beside Prince Gumball. Gumball quickly started looking for the right words.
"What? Did I say obsess, I meant, ummm…I meant…" Gumball hung his head in defeat. "Ok, you caught me. I'm in love with Fionna."
Marshall Lee stared at the pink prince, noticing a small area on his cheeks were a darker pink than the rest of him. Awww crap. He ran a hand through his hair, and tried not to laugh.
"So…" he managed to get out "You like Fionna."
Gumball looked up at Marshall Lee and frowned "Yes. And I'm serious." He stood and started pacing the room. "I really do like her, and I don't know if she likes me back. Really the only reason I went over to her house tonight was to see her. And when Cake told me she wasn't there…" He shook his head.
Marshall Lee watched and listened, even though he didn't want to. Could Fionna hear this? Gumball couldn't be serious, right? He shook his head. "What?" Gumball asked.
"Dude, why are you even telling me this? You know just as much as I do that Fionna isn't interested."
Gumball looked offended "Well, how would you know, huh?"
Marshall Lee looked at Gumball "Because she loves me."
Gumball just stared a Marshall Lee, and then let out a small laugh. "You are really full of yourself, aren't you Marshall? She couldn't possibly love you."
Now it was Marshall Lee's turn to be offended. "I'm serious dude. She's with me now. You had your chance, but you turned her down. I'm the one that was there for her then, and I'm the one she's chosen now."
Gumball looked as if someone had just punched him in the stomach. He whirled around so that he could see Marshall Lee's face.
"You're lying."
"Am not."
"Yes you are. You're always messing with me. You have to be lying." He scowled at Marshall Lee "Not funny." Marshal Lee all of a sudden lost his smile. Gumball wasn't messing around; he really did have feelings for Fionna. But Marshall Lee was done playing around. Fionna was his.
"Look Gumball, I know it's hard to take in, but it's true. Me and Fionna, we're together now. You had your chance but you blew it. Tough luck, you missed out on something really sweet, probably sweeter than you, if you catch my drift."
Marshall Lee winked at Prince Gumball, but the Prince was not amused. A rage had crept into Prince Gumball's eyes. He looked like a madman. He opened his mouth; probably to call it a bluff, but then realization hit him.
"Where is she," He said his hands clutching into fists, "Where is Fionna!"
Prince Gumball advanced on Marshall Lee and swung his fist up as if to punch Marshall Lee. He threw his hands up in surrender "Not here, I swear."
Prince Gumball looked up at the ladder that led to Marshall Lee's lair. "Oh, we'll see about that." He started to walk towards the ladder. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Marshall Lee yelled, panicking.
If he finds out Fionna's here, he might go schyco! I have to stop him before he hurts someone.
Just as Prince Gumball reached the first step of the ladder, Marshall Lee grabbed the back of his suit, and threw him to the floor. Prince Gumball let out an ummfff, followed by a growl like voice.
"So, she is here! I knew it! I knew you would try something! What have you done to Fionna!" He stood up and put up his fists, prepared to fight his way up the ladder if needs be. Marshall Lee just looked at him with a quizzical look, trying to through him off.
"Whaattt? I haven't done anything to her, and plus she isn't here dude. I just don't want you up there because I have my vampire bizz up there. Vampire bizz man" Marshall Lee said emphasizing how important those two words were. "I just don't want your head blown off or something like that." But Prince Gumball was undeterred.
"Oh, then you can go up there with me, and show me your vampire bizz, or whatever. But whether you take me up there yourself or I have to fight through you to find out, I will uncover what you're hiding."
Marshall Lee looked at PG with eyebrows raised. He looked weak and pathetic with the stance he was in. His fists were held up in fury, but Marshall Lee could sense a feeling of dread coming off the young prince, as if afraid to fight a vampire, let alone the Vampire King.
"Look Gumwad this is my house, not yours! Now you either get out, or I'll beat you out."
Prince Gumball frowned even more, something foreign on his plush sweet face "It won't help you vampire. You lay a finger on me, and I will have you banished for threatening a royal."
His face became stern. "And as for your home, you pay taxes to the Candy Kingdom just like every other citizen does. You live on property owned by me, and I can throw you off just as well as make sure you never live here again. Now let me through!"
Marshall Lee knew this was a dry threat, but couldn't help but feel a little intimidated. He was running out of excuses. I hope Fionna is ready to deal with Gumwad Marshall Lee said mentally face palming himself.
"Fine, fine you can see for yourself that I do not capture little girls for my own amusement." Floating aside, Marshall Lee gestured for Prince Gumball to go on up. Nodding the Prince put down his feeble fists and climbed.
Won't Fionna be surprised Marshall Lee thought as PG's head went through the small opening, and into the lair.
