Adventure Time with Fionna, Cake, and Marshall Lee!
Chapter Four: Nut Muffins!
~X~X~X~
Marshall wasn't too happy about going to Lord Monochromicorn's house. He didn't exactly like the horse because the horse belonged to a prince he didn't exactly like, Gumball. So when Fionna said to him, "Cake is at Lord Monochromicorn's house," he replied with a simple:
"Nooooooooooo."
—which received him a smack from the adventuress. "Yes!" she insisted. "And you better be nice when we get there! Cake and Lord Monochromicorn are important to me."
Marshall scoffed. "Everyone you meet is important to you. You could meet a twig named Jerry and he'd be important to you."
"I mean it, be nice."
"Fi, silly, naïve, young Fi, I'm not nice. Period. I'm not nice to anyone."
She rolled her eyes. "Then try to be nice."
"What if I don't feel like it?" the vampire retorted. Fionna took her sword and bonked his head with the handle. "Hey!" he hissed.
"That's for being difficult," Fionna huffed. She then flipped out of Marshall's hold on her. "And we've arrived so there's no need to carry me."
He smirked. "Whatever babes, you were getting heavy anyway."
She gasped. "Hey!"
Marshall laughed and floated up ahead. "Come on Fi, keep up!"

Cake was getting ready to head home. She felt bad about leaving Fionna for so long, but the young girl was sixteen and she didn't seem to mind the cat's absence. After washing the bowls and plates they used for salsa Cake stretched out her long paws and purred in content. "Well Lord M, it's been fun as always, but I have to go."
"Of course," Lord Monochromicorn nodded politely. "Oh and please keep what I told you about Gumball stressing out about the party secret."
"Sure thing! Fionna and I were going to drop by and see the prince tomorrow, will I see you then?"
"Yes."
Cake smiled. "Alright then, bu-bye." She walked out of the kitchen on all fours, her fluffy tail swishing as she did so. The cat then started thinking about yarn, a thought that occurred to her often, and if it was possible to live in a house made of yarn. Oh, if that was possible she'd be the happiest cat in Aaa.
After she thought about multicolored yarn she started thinking about cat nip and cat scratchers made of cat nip. Her thoughts of all things kitty was suddenly interrupted when she heard a very loud, "AH!"
"Nut muffins! Lord Monochromicorn!" she exclaimed. "I'm coming baby!"
The cat ran back towards his house, kicked down his front door with a powerful kitty kick, flipped through his living room with a roll and then looked up to see— "SPIDER!" Cake shrieked.
"Don't worry!" Lord Monochromicorn said, "It surprised me too. Here, I've got a newspaper!"
He clopped over to Cake and then smashed the spider on the wall. Cake released a heavy sigh. "Well I came crashing in here to save you but you ended up saving me," she smiled. "Lord M, you're the best. Is there any spider you can't kill?"
…
"Lord M?"
…
"Lord M?"
…
"Baby, what's wrong?" Cake then noticed Lord Monochromicorn was frozen and she turned around and froze too. Standing at the horse's doorway was a huge mutant spider that stared at them with big purple eyes. "M, you're going to need a bigger newspaper," Cake muttered.
"I don't think newspaper can crush him," Lord Monochromicorn replied.
The spider then bent down in an attack position. "DIE!" it shrieked.
Suddenly white web was slung towards the two heroes! Lord Monochromicorn quickly clopped out of the way and Cake shot straight up to the ceiling with a hiss. The spider broke into the house and more rounds of web were fired. Because of Lord Monochromicorn's long body, half of him was caught in the web! "Cake! Help!" he cried.
The cat on the ceiling hissed and leaped upon the spider, slashing it with her claws! "This- is- what- you- get- for messing with my man!" she shouted during swipes.
Infuriated, the spider bent forward and bucked Cake off of it, sending the cat flying through the house and crashing into the kitchen! More rounds of web were fired and quickly the cat hid inside the fridge for cover. Cake grabbed a round container and then jumped out of the fridge. "Feel the burn of my homemade SALSA!" she cried.
The red and green salsa was splashed into the spider's eyes and it howled from pain. "Good thinking on adding jalapenos!" Lord Monochromicorn encouraged over the loud howling.
With the spider still distracted, Fionna crashed through the horse's window, landing on her feet. "Cake!" she cried.
"Fionna!"
"Hurry! Morning star mode!"
"I'm on it!"
Cake transformed her body into a sharp (and furry) weapon, her tail being the handle Fionna could grab onto. Fionna twisted Cake around and ran towards the spider—with a quick flip to add dramatically, Fionna hit the spider in just the right spot on its head, causing the spider to fall down dead.
At that moment Marshall Lee flew in and with a quick swipe from his axe bass he had Lord Monochromicorn free. The four gathered in the living room. "Fionna, I know you had something to with this giant spider. So you better start talking girl," Cake said.
"Why do you assume these spiders have something to do with me?" the adventuress asked.
The cat rolled her eyes. "Because you're with him," she replied, pointing the end of her tail at Marshall.
He shrugged. "See why I don't act nice, Fi?"
"Okay," Fionna groaned. "Here's the thing: Aaa is being attacked by flesh eating spiders who are ruled by Evangeline the Spider Queen and we need to find a way to send her and her army back to the Night O'sphere where she came from. And the reason she's attacking Aaa is because Marshall's dad swung a deal with her forty years ago that she could have a thousand souls. But this was before Marshall Lee was Vampire King so it's not his fault."
Cake opened her mouth to protest, but shut her mouth again. She opened a second time but closed it. The cat then started to hiss and finally she sighed in defeat. "Alright," she answered. "So if I understand this right, we have to figure out a way to stop Evangeline before all of her mutant spiders kill a thousand souls of Aaa."
"Pretty much," Fionna replied.
Cake glared at Marshall. "Boy, you better tell me right now how we're supposed to do that."
"Don't call me boy you feline," Marshall hissed. "And in order to send Evangeline back we have to go to the Night O'sphere ourselves."
Lord Monochromicorn gasped. "That's suicide!" he exclaimed. "No one in Ooo goes to the Night O'sphere and lives!"
"Marshall is alive," Fionna pointed out.
"Marshall is already dead," Cake corrected. "Alright, if Fionna and I come to the Night O'sphere with you, do you promise to guide us and not let anything happen to us?"
The vampire sighed. "I really hate making promises."
"Marshall!" Fionna exclaimed.
"Oh alright, FINE, yeah whatever," he snapped.
Cake nodded. "Fine. Lord M, you stay here and protect Prince Gumball, Fionna, you stick with me, Marshall, lead the way to the Night O'sphere."
The three then left the horse's house, making their way into the night. "Wait!" Lord Monochromicorn called, "There's a dead spider in my kitchen!"
Author's Note:
Ahahaha poor Lord Monochromicorn, you have to clean that up all by yourself. Hope you guys liked this chapter! Thanks for the reviews for the other three, they mean a lot :D
Oh, and to clear something up: I forgot that technically Marshall Lee would have a 'mom' from the Night O'sphere who ate his fries XD So the only character that has stayed the same in this story is Marshall Lee's dad, who is the same guy, same vampire, and still ate his son's fries. Marceline does not exist. Thank you Neverthrive for reviewing and then making me realize my mistake :D
Anyway, update will be soon, please review and thank you for reading!
