The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...
For people who aren't governed by time, they detach themselves from the world, a hollow seclusion is built from this isolation, and they never wish to be a part of a life where the people they surround themselves with are prisoners to time.
Eventually they will be left alone, and filled with feelings of regret, but sometimes, you can't deny the people who are slaves to time. The view they have on the world that you've seen for oh so many years is a wonderful place to live, and not a hell on Earth. And these slaves to time, influence you. You see the world in a new way, and for once you are happy to be in it.
Nonetheless, you suddenly want to make up for the lost time you didn't have with this person who has changed you. You have to take every smile that person has and make sure you carve it into your memory. After all you're just a memory of younger days...
Time Moves In One Direction, Memories In Another.

Fionna had left the next morning,and returned back to her tree house. It did take some convincing to let Fionna go home, but it happened.
Fionna entered her tree house, quietly, hoping that Cake would be asleep, but instead, she found Cake sitting on the couch smiling a catty smile, as she walked in the door. Fionna, felt her anxiety levels go up.
"I'm gonna guess it went well?" Cake asked, as she picked up BMO, and started playing some games.
Fionna smiled and sat down next to her, "mmm, I guess it did."
Cake glanced out the corner of her eye, a slight frown on her face. "Are you going to tease me with information baby, or are you just going to tell me, I'm dying to know..." Cake begged, her curiosity at its peek.
"What's to tell, I told him, we kissed, we talked, we fell asleep, we woke up, I left." Fionna said calmly, before trying to run off to her room.
"You two KISSED!" Cake said pouncing onto her leg, "are you sure that's all you did, if he did more I'll kill him!" Cake shrieked, Fionna lost her balance and fell onto the floor with Cake, "Cake I swear we kissed once! Then we just talked. I don't even know if we're dating, we kinda never declared that we were a thing." Fionna anxiety rose, maybe Marshall didn't want to date her.
'Oh baby, don't worry, maybe he didn't think he had to ask, because you two are already so close, I'm sure not much will change." Cake said patting the girls head. "And don't rush things, you two have a lot of time." Cake said hugging the girl.
Fionna embraced her cat sister back, her mind was settled by the words spoken by Cake. Fionna couldn't help feeling so on edge, this was the first time she had a 'Boyfriend', if they were dating, and she wasn't really sure what they really do. She knew that they kiss, hug, and other intimate junk that she had seen Lord M. and Cake do, but she had no experience with that stuff.
The kiss last night was led by Marshall, and it was Fionna's first real kiss, and she just followed Marshall's lead. She didn't really mean for them to get so... into it.
"Why don't you go shower up and I'll start cooking dinner, baby." Cake said making her way to the kitchen, grabbing different pots and pans.
Fionna made no protest and went to gather her things for the shower before going into the bathroom. Cake waited to hear the water run, before rushing to the phone, and dialing a number she never wanted to dial.

Marshall, laid awake on his couch starring at the ceiling idly. He felt very happy with himself, finally Fionna and him could be... something! That's more than he could ever ask for. He sat up feeling a bit hungry, and thought about getting something to eat, but suddenly the phone rang, he sighed and floated over to it, answering it.
"Yes..?" He answered into the phone. "Marshall Lee, we have to talk." He reconized this voice.
"Cake? What's up?" He was curious why the cat would call him, they weren't exactly friends.
"Baby, you got my girl confused, are you two dating or not?" Cake asked, very straightforward with her question.
"I guess, you could call it that..." Marshall began to reply, "I mean we just, you know... junk." Marshall felt embarrased by the question, it was one simple question, and he couldn't answer it.
"Well honey, you better show her you two are something, she's doubting herself, take her on some kind of date. Tonight! You understand?" Cake ordered over the phone. Marshall said yes and decided he needed to plan something.
"What would I do though for this date?" He asked, but was soon cut off by Cake. "She's coming out of the shower, I have to go, sorry I can't help, just be romantic!" Cake hung up and Marshall sighed, before speaking to the hung up phone line. "Thanks Cake, thanks a lot..."
Romantic is what she said, and for Marshall he couldn't help, but think that involved him feeling embarrassed. Even though most people didn't know it, but Marshall Lee The Vampire King, was a romantic. When he dated, he did things, because he knew it was the Romantic thing to do and he liked that.
He sighed again, the sun was still out so he could only gather and prepare things, before he could actually go out, set up and then retrieve Fionna. This was going to be a long day.

Fionna was relaxing in her room, going through the wreckage in her backpack, finally she had a break to get a chance to do it. She had been so caught up in her emotions, she forgot about her materials she used as an adventuress. Fionna bounced on her bed as she finished.
"Mathematical! Finished right as the sun went down!" She jumped and cheered for a few moments before settling back down. 'Now, I'm bored.' She thought to herself. She got up and made her way downstairs to find Cake on a phone call with Lord M.
"Oh you're such a sweet talker, baby." She heard Cake respond, Fionna smiled and sighed, as she stared at an infatuated Cake.
'Will me and Marshall be like that...?' Fionna questioned, t was embarrassing thinking about it. Fionna didn't know how to be a girlfriend, what was she supposed to do? Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.
Cake signaled Fionna to get it, not to interrupt her conversation. Fionna walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a floating Marshall Lee, turned to his side, one hand midway through his hair, before he turned to face her, running the rest of his fingers through his hair, and smiling.
"Sup, dude?" Fionna asked a bit of eagerness, in her tone. She didn't understand why he was there and it made her curious, that we're something like a couple, so what could he possibly need?
"Let's go, doll face." He stated, it wasn't a question it was a demand. Fionna gave him a questionable look.
"Go where Marshall?" Fionna asked, where would they go? Marshall sighed before smiling.
"Come on Fi, since when did Fionna the Adventuress ask questions? Grab your bag lets go." Marshall replied calmly, he was nervous, he wanted them to get there, so he could show her his hard work.
Fionna smiled before replying, "Okay, let me get it." she rushed up stairs, grabbing her recently organized bag, and rushing back downstairs to the door. Walking out and closing the door.
"So where are we going? Fionna asked, following very close to the floating Marshall Lee.
"Well, I just thought we should have a date and junk... ya know?" Marshall replied keeping his gaze forward on the path ahead.
"A-a date, okay, that sounds cool and junk." Fionna replied glancing to her side, a light blush spreading across her face.
There was a an awkward silence that filled the void between them, what was Fionna supposed to do? She just stared at his floating legs as she followed him, he gaze continuing to face the ground, and not up in any way.
The silence continued, Fionna was sure she had done something wrong, she didn't know how to be romantic, she was only 15, and hadn't had much experience with the idea of 'dating.'
"Hey Fi, we're here..." Marshall called to Fionna, she snapped out of her thoughts, and looked up to find, a blanket surrounded by lanterns that lit the area and a few snacks (that were red), around the picnic area.
"D-did you do this Marsh?" Fionna asked, walking toward the area, before stopping and turning to face him, a smile stretched across her face.
"Well, y-yeah, it took me a bit, ya know, 'cause like the sun was still out while I was setting up, and I had to go home and change, then get you..." Marshall felt embarrassed he was rambling, which wasn't like him. He took a deep breath, before speaking again. "In short, yeah Fi."
"It's so mathematical Marsh, I love it!" Fionna said jumping into his arms, which shocked Marshall and made him fall to the ground pulling Fionna down with him, they both laughed, and stood up together.
Marshall glanced down at Fionna, and watched her as she laughed at herself, he felt so drawn to her and her smile, that beautiful smile. He gently took one hand and pulled her face toward his, bending over slightly to reach her level, before pressing their lips together, Fionna fell into the kiss, hypnotized by him.
Fionna grasped onto Marshall's shirt, clinging to him as they continued to kiss, Marshall pulled back, revealing a flustered Fionna, who was lost in a daze.
"Gosh doll, I didn't know you liked being kiss by me so much." Marshall teased taking her hand and pulling her toward the picnic area.
"W-what, Marshall it's not like that... I mean... it's not that I totally, d-dislike it.." Fionna blushed a darker pink, as Marshall just laughed as they sat down on the blanket.
"Don't worry doll, it's cute." Marshall said as she picked up a strawberry and nibbled at it. Marshall smiled and did the same, sucking the shade from the fruit.
"Marsh, I've been meaning to ask you... are we... I mean... are we like considered... are we dat-" Fionna stumbled on her words, before Marshall cut her off.
"We're something, I guess... we're Fionna and Marshall Lee, and we're as happy as we can be right? I love you Fionna, I've loved you since I met you, when you were that cute 13 year old girl. You might be growing older, but you're still the same lovely, adventuress girl, who's always naïve and rushes into things with out thinking, because you're so hard headed." Marshall said giving her the most sweetest smiles, that made Fionna's heart flutter. "Fionna, all I know is that I never want to be apart from you, and if's there's not a name for it. We can just be 'Us', because there's no word that can justify what I want to be when I'm with you. Not a boyfriend, or a lover. I want to be 'Us.'"
"Oh glob, Marsh," Fionna said jumping back into his arms, this time catching Fionna, and holding her. "I love you Marshall. I love you so much, let's be 'Us'." Fionna whispered against Marshall. Who hugged her tighter.
They stayed still, charishing their intimate moment with each other, the first of many, that they bothed wished to share together.
The moment was cute short by clapping heard a few feet away. Marshall and Fionna looked up to find a unknown woman's silhouette.
"Well isn't that romantic, and how many girls have you used that one on Marshall Lee." the voice was recognized by both, Marshall and Fionna.
"Then again, you did once call yourself a romantic right?" the women spoke, as she stepped into the light of the moonlight and lanterns.
"What do you want Ashley, I thought I made it clear to you... That I never wanted to see you again." Marshall hissed at the pale women who wore a black tube dress with a gold belt with a pouch. Her paper white hair that was styled in an undercut fashioned, rolled off her shoulders, and back.
"Yeah, well... you should have known me a lot better, I mean we were a thing for awhile. Or was I just a good screw." She smirked back.
Marshall was fulled by his hidden rage that stirred within him. Whatever she wanted was not good, and he could tell she was out for blood. And he could only feel his grip tighten on Fionna.
She was what mattered now. The only thing that mattered to him. And he would protect her no matter what.
