Sleep was not something vampires required, it was more of a pastime for them. They used sleep to wait out the daylight, waiting for when night would fall and they could roam free without any restrictions. After Fionna had left and Marshall had retreated to his room, his usual comfortable bed, was uncomfortable. He couldn't find peace with his mind that would allow him to fall asleep.

Marshall Lee was anxious, for the first time in decades, maybe even century's, Marshall Lee was anxious, his mind racing, which made sleep impossible. After the realization that he was not going to be able to sleep anymore he finally got up, and decided to eat something. He pulled a bowl of strawberries from the fridge and floated to the sofa, where he sat as he drained the shade from the fruit.

His mind continued to race, and before he realized it, he was panicking about what he would wear that evening. Never in his life had he worried about what he looked like. Marshall Lee just picked a look or style and rocked it. He was never worried on how people viewed him, but now, it's different and he couldn't understand it.

Looking into his sloppy closet, he finally figured he would do a casual-classy-rocker. Marshall set his clothes aside, he had decided upon a pair of black jeans, gray v-neck, black blazer to go on top, and his normal sneakers. He felt like it was enough, he didn't want to look like he was trying to impress (well he was only trying to impress Fionna). He found away to make time go faster by taking a long shower, and making sure he looked just right. And just like that he was floating to the castle, as the sun lost all power over the day, and the moon rose to claim the sky.

Fionna wasn't the kind of girl who liked to dress up and leave her hair out. She was a tomboy for Glob sakes! (Plus the last time she wore a dress, it was destroyed by the Ice Queen). Nevertheless, she promised Marshall, and she was going to keep to that promise.

"You want me to make you another dress? Now honey, not that it's bad, but since when did you wear dresses?" Cake questioned Fionna as she looked away nervously.

"I thought I should try it out again, you know, just for test and junk..." Fionna got out faintly, she could never tell her, because she promised Marshall Lee, she knew Cake and Marshall just didn't have a great friendship so, Cake would have said no if she knew the real reason.

"Okay, baby. I'll try for a new concept just give me sometime. In the meantime shower and take care of the rest of yourself." Cake said as she grabbed white fabric and lace and got to business. Fionna smiled and thanked her cat sister, before retreating to the bedroom to retrieve all of the other things she would need, before she hopped into the shower, making sure to take her time to give Cake time to make the dress.

Once she was out of the shower she put on all of her white undergarments, before peeking out the shower to see if Cake was done with the dress.

"Cake? Is it ready?" She asked hiding her 15 year old body behind the door, as her head peered around the door.

"Oh honey! You'll love it!" Cake responded before giving it to Fionna. Fionna examined the article of clothing, before a small smile formed on her face. "Well get ready! We don't have that much time left!" Cake continued before running upstairs to make herself presentable for Lord M.

Fionna slipped into the long flowing dress, it wasn't puffy like the last one, it slid down her figure in a straight line, molding to her curves, having lace that flowed every which way, and two thin straps that held up the lining around her chest. It didn't cut to low to show cleavage, but it shaped around her chest to prove that as a 15 year old she was developing nicely, but what finished off the dress was the light blue bow that tied around her waist, and formed a pretty bow in the front. Fionna let her hair fall in to gorgeous princess waves that fell past her hips, but in long tendrils around her body, against her waist, chest, and back. She slipped on her normal Mary Jane shoes, and applied just a small amount of make-up that kept her looking natural.

When Cake saw Fionna, she could have almost broke down into tears. Her human sister looked absolutely beautiful. The emotional reaction from Cake, made Fionna nervous, and drew her to the conclusion; 'What would Marshall think...' She thought as her brain tried to piece together everything. But Cake just told her she looked amazing and said they should go, so they made their way to the Castle, just a little after the sun had sunk, and the moon had risen.

Marshall Lee couldn't help but hover and cling to the main entrance to the Castle. He was usually a patient person, but his anxiety levels had risen since earlier, and he could barely contain himself waiting for Fionna.

"Marshall Lee! Welcome friend." He could hear Prince Gumball call, he floated down near the pink male, before landing on the ground and steadying himself.

"Yo, Gummy." Marshall said, making fun of the Pink Prince, but Gumball kept calm as he continued. "I'm glad you could make it." He said smiling, before continuing again, "Have you seen Fionna?"

Marshall shook his head before replying, "No, and if she doesn't show, I'm blowing this candy stand." Gumball laughed, trying to be civilized.

"Ah, well I just hoped I could speak with her about a serious issue." Gumball said a smile forming on his face before looking away, this sparked something in Marshall, something like hatred, but not as strong.

"You know she gave up on your sorry ass. Why would you try to play with her feelings. You didn't want her two years ago, what's changed to make you realize that you missed out." Marshall snapped in a low voice so only Prince Gumball could hear, and no other by standers could make out their conversation.

"What are you talking about... I just didn't have time for childish games. She has matured a bit, and my feelings have become clearer." Prince Gumball returned fire, in their fierce conversation.

"She hasn't matured, she's still the same silly Fionna, the only thing that has changed is her body, and if that is what you pay attention to then you have to right to call her you're 'Friend'!" Marshall said before something out of his peripheral vision caught his eye.

He turned to see a gorgeous girl, dressed in white and her long wavy hair falling in tendrils around her body, down past her hips. That girl was Fionna, and he could tell she was nervous. Soon Gumball saw her, and was in awe of her beauty as well, but Marshall acted first.

He floated toward Fionna before she had time to scan the crowd and find him, when he made it toward her he picked her up, causing her to gasp, as he held her in his arms. Fionna blushed as he held her, and when she finally spoke it came out so quiet. "I-I kept my promise." she squeaked out, which made Marshall Lee smile, before responding. "I know, I can perfectly see you did. And you look stunningly beautiful Doll face."

This caused Fionna to blush as they floated back down to the floor, and we're soon greeted by Prince Gumball.

"Oh Fionna you look so exquisite!" Gumball complimented, Fionna thanked him, and they both continued to make small talk, well mostly Gumball, not wanting Fionna's attention to leave him.
Marshall couldn't help but get jealous, as Gumball stole the spotlight.

Music soon started playing and Marshall had brilliance strike him, as he rudely pulled Fionna away from the conversation and brought both of them to the dance floor where others we're already dancing. It was a slow song, and Marshall knew exactly what to do. He took Fionna's hands and placed one on his shoulder and the other in his hand, as he placed his free hand on her waist, and began guiding her into the movements of the dance.

Fionna couldn't help but turn red, as she felt embarrassed as they danced but she liked it. Being taught how to dance by Marshall and spending some nice time with him, her smile grew big, and Marshall Lee saw this, which made him smile, it was a small smile. Before the sight of Gumball losing his calm came from the corner of his eye, made his smile turn into a grin.

They both continued to dance, finding a rhythm with each other, and moving according to the music. They both had found peace and were enjoying the beautiful moment. It was cut short, by Prince Gumball himself.

"May I cut in?" Gumball smiled that princely smile, while Marshall gritted his teeth. Fionna stood there bewildered to the conflict, before Marshall nodded and stepped away. Before Fionna could utter a word, Gumball swept her away.

Marshall made his way toward the snack table and grabbed a few strawberries, before finding his was over to the balcony. He drained the fruits shade out of frustration, and when he ran out of fruit, he just started inhaling and exhaling, the cool and calm night relaxing him. He sighed before thinking to himself, 'Of course, I'll never stand a chance against Pink Prince...' He looked down, before realizing it had been 5 minutes, and the song had changed again, but a much slower song, more intimate.

"Marshall?" came a quiet voice from behind him. He turned to be showered by the beauty that was Fionna, it just radiated off of her. They both approached each other, meeting somewhere in the middle. "Do you want to dance?" She continued, smiling and holding out her hand.

"Of course, doll. But lets change it up?" He said before taking her hand, and started floating. Fionna stepped up onto his feet slowly before they started to sway into rhythm with the new intimate song, she buried her face into his shoulder as he held her. And what was only a few moments turned to hours, days, weeks, months, decades, century's. The way they moved together was special, and as the song finished they touched back down onto the ground. Fionna pulled back, a tint of red crossing her face. She heard Cake from outside the balcony, and began to walk back toward the inside of the castle. She stopped and turned back to Marshall giving him a look, that was sad to leave, but one that said, "I'll see you soon." Which was true, the two were inseparable, they shared a same passion for risking everything, for adventuring, for exploring the unknown.

And as she turned to leave, he couldn't stop watching her as she vanished from sight.

There wasn't a reason to stay so he just, flew off, everything he wanted happened, so he just made his way home, to his cave, where his house was, which was where his comfortable bad laid, and for the first time that day, he was able to fall into a blissful sleep.

"So did you enjoy yourself tonight honey?" Cake asked as they arrived home. Fionna kicked off her shoes, and sighed.

"I did Cake, but I'm also really tired." She said setting her head on the sofas pillow. Cake smiled, and then morphed the smile into a grin. "Well, having two boys fight for your attention might be a bit draining."

Fionna looked away and didn't answer her sister, Cake realized that would be the only response and made her way to bed. Fionna stayed on the couch, and thought about everything.

And when the storm in her head stopped raging, she came to the simply conclusion. Maybe she had a crush on Marshall Lee...
