I DON'T OWN ANY RIGHTS TO ADVENTURE TIME.

I stretched out my weary limbs, yawning as I scratched my head. I just spent the night above the sofa, despite Marceline's offer to set up a place to sleep beside her. Though beds don't serve a practical purpose, it's still in our mannerism to sleep in one. Her house is so strangely familiar to mine, I had to stop myself from instinctively grabbing an apple from the dinner table.

Marceline's squeaky yawn interrupted my thoughts. Quickly, I pretended to look outside the window.

"Morning Marshall!", she greeted.

I turned around to meet her gaze. Her hair was mussed, he sweater wrinkled and folded in some places. Did she sleep IN the bed? Out of curiosity, I asked her if is she had. It turns out she did. So over a bowl full of apples, cherries and strawberries, we discussed the topic of sleeping on beds and walking for the matter.

She tossed her head back to chomp on an apple, giving me a good look at her neck, pale and slender with two bold bite marks. She tossed aside the wrinkled fruit before asking me, "So your saying you've never tried sleeping in a bed?".

"Not for five centuries.", I replied simply. I truly did forget about sleeping, after all sleeping in air is as comfortable as it gets

She tossed a cherry that I caught in my mouth, "Well you should try.".

"Hmm.", I mussed.

Picking up the dried up fruit she tossed earlier, she had an idea.

"You know what? I have a gig today, how 'bout we buy some clothes for you, then as payment, you join the gig?".

She gave me a mischievous smile, "Sounds good?".

"Yeahh sure.", I agreed.

After freshening up, Marceline floated out the bedroom wearing jeans and and a white T shirt. I looked at my own plaid shirt and folded up jeans and sighed.

"You look great.", I praised, hoping that it wasn't too weird.

"Oh.", she muttered, rubbing her face then stammering, "T-thanks, you t-too.", before rushing out the door.

The cave looked like it always had, wet moss covered stones, sharp stalagmite and glistening rocks. Faint sunlight shone through the cave's entrance, not enough to burn our skin but enough feel the sting.

Marceline felt the same, as she slapped a gigantic sunhat on my head before positioning one on herself. I took a moment to take in the sight as she floated ahead. The sunlight from the cave's entrance shone behind her, illuminating her slender figure. She giggled, looking at my sunhat she placed sideways. I held my breath as she drifted towards me.

I could clearly see her blush as she adjusted the wide brimmed hat on my head. Then in a move that could've stopped my heart, she affectionately twirled a lock of my hair in her fingers. She moved away slowly leaving me following her like a dumbstruck zombie. Brains?

By the time we reached the store, Marceline reverted back to her usual spunky self.

"Here we are Marshall!", she announced.

I read the sign above the doorway, 'Gouwd Clothes'.

Hahahaha, Gouwd, hahahah.

I ignored the signboard and followed my companion into the store. The ceiling inside was uncomfortably low, forcing me to land on my feet. Oh man! The store was a maze of clothes rack and stands that formed walls and corners. I trudged forward and called out, "Marceline!", then stuffed my hands into my pockets and waited.

Covering my eyes form behind, she whispered, "Who am I?".

"Marceline, duh.", I laughed and turned around.

"Call me Marcy.", she smiled.

In her left hand she held several hangers of clothes, she offered it to me awkwardly, giving me a pleading face that said 'Is it good?'.

I took the hangers from her hand and was impressed, she had a great taste in clothes. She is me I guess. I chose a another top and a pair of black jeans. We paid Raggedy princess and left.

We burst through the house door and rushed inside. Marceline flung herself unto an armchair while I leaned outside the window. My skin felt sticky from walking all the way back. Why was I walking you say? Unfortunately, yours truly lost a bet to a very crafty vixen.

"Wanna shower loser?", she teased, sticking out her tongue.

"Hmph, yeahh...", I answered defeatedly.

A moment passed as I felt the moist cave air on my skin.

"Hey Mars, catch!", Marceline yelled.

I turned around to have a blue towel cover my face. Marcy's hysterical laughter filled the house as I dramatically removed the towel. She clutched her tummy and laughed some more, tumbling around in the air. I simply gave her a goofy grin and floated on towards the bathroom.

Dressed in my new clothes, black jeans and a red T shirt, I sat cross legged on the living room ceiling. I tried not to imagine Marceline in the shower, but the sound of water running in the room prevented it. Look at yourself, oh Vampire King! I gave myself a pinch before floating unto the armchair. With legs dangling over the armrests and head resting on the other armrest, I snuggled into the cushions.

"Comfy?", Marceline asked me from above.

"Yep!", I responded.

"Can you play the bass?", her voice now further away.

I craned my neck above the armrest, and spied her on the other side of the room holding onto axe shaped bass guitar.

"Yeah, a bit.", I replied, sitting upright.

She eyed me curiously before I answered her unsaid question, "I play the six string guitar.".

"Oh, I don't have any of those Marshall.", she said apologetically.

My heart skipped a beat just because she pronounced my name, what am I a teenage school girl?

I chuckled lightly, "It's fine, I'll just sing along or something.".

"Alright then.", she voiced out before continuing, "We're gonna be leaving at seven pm... Anything you wanna do before then?".

I thought for a while. Check out the Candy Kingdom? Play a prank on Gumball? Stroll through the nightosphere?

Finally, I answered the patiently waiting vampire, "Anything you wanna do.".

Marceline beamed, "You know, you're a really nice guy.".

That phrase stuck with me the full three hours of movies the spunky girl played to pass the time. And that same girl was simply oblivious to the torture she put me through.
