Finn was waiting back in the grassland. She wanted to do this without him. Simone walked up the steps to the small white house in the middle of the cave. She could hear a complex guitar riff playing inside. Simone took a deep breath, and knocked twice on the door. She heard the faint noise of a hand lazily sliding off a fretboard. The amp let off static until it was silenced suddenly. The door swung open. Marshall Lee's eyes were shut in annoyance, and his head lazily hung back. He sighed impatiently, and dismissively uttered, "what do you..." He softly opened his eyes mid-sentence, and lifted his brow as to properly address her, but when he looked at her with his mouth opened slightly, "w-what is this?" Simone almost teared up when she saw him. She nervously stuttered, "h-hey I just wanted to see you." Her fingers pressed against the sides of her head and she looked down, "I know I lost it there for a millennium or so, but I think I might be better now, and..." Marshall Lee recognized her mannerisms and soft voice so well. He stood there stunned. His head quickly fell to his chest, and he crushed a part of the door frame in his claws. Shards of wood scattered around them. She flinched, and slightly turned her head from him.

Marshall shook his head, and clenched his teeth as his eyes watered. He screamed, "that's bullshit! What the hell?! H-How?!" She closed her eyes, and softly whispered, "I don't really know..." Marshall embraced her far too tightly. Tears streamed down his face, "this better not be bullshit..." Simone chuckled. After a minute Marshall loosened his grasp, and let his arms fall to his sides. He let out out a broken sigh, "that's f-fucking..." he rubbed his hair back with his hands, "great." He sat down at the steps. He couldn't manage to shake the tears, no matter how much he tried. She sat next to him, and put her arm around his shoulder. He spoke, still in tears, "sorry... I've become kind of a wreak over a thousand years..." She grinned, "that's ok. I've been kidnapping guys, locking them up in a cage in my living room... and more recently having sex with a teenager..." Marshall smiled. They both sat there for a couple minutes before he said, "I'm just so glad to have you back..."

Marshall looked at her sternly, "you can't that tiara back on, and you have to keep your promise this time." Simone nodded, "I promise." She lovingly shagged up his hair, "anything for my little guy..."

Marshall lied his head on her shoulder. A memory stirred for Simone...

Simone sat on a rock next to the small camp fire. She was pushing around embers with a twig. She turned her head, and stared intently at the strange boy sitting across from her. The boy was clothed in dark blue overalls, and a orange and white striped shirt. The colors on the clothing looked dull, and fabric worn. It was only hours ago she found the boy in the wreckage downtown. The kid was lightly holding on to the teddy bear she gave him, and staring at the ground. When she first saw the boy Simone wondered why the kid was out there alone, but then the obvious fact hit her that nobody should be out there at all. Everyone was dead. How did he survive the bomb, and what was he in the first place? Not human. His skin was a pale blue, his ears were sharp and long, and he had fangs like a snake!

The boy kept telling her that he was hungry, but no matter how much he ate he wasn't satisfied. The boy dropped his teddy bear on the ground, and tears started rolling down his cheeks. She darted to her feet, ran over, and lifted him onto her shoulder. "D-Don't cry..." she said nervously. She hugged onto him tightly. She had no idea what was wrong with him. The little boy cried against her shoulder, and as he did his fangs accidentally tore through the cloth of her shirt, and pierced her skin.

She froze in pain and shock. She felt her blood being drawn from her body. Marshall's appetite and thirst for it blinded him from the rest of the world, and drove him to continue. His arms were wrapped tightly around her neck and arm. She tried to push him off but couldn't. Her attempts became weaker as time went on. She felt his little hands, now sharp, clawing into her. After a couple seconds he opened his eyes, raised his head off of her, and softly spoke, "Simone?" His body fell limp, and she lifted him with all the strength she had left, and lowered his body to ground. Simone almost fainted from blood loss. She clenched her hand around the bite marks, and whispered, "fuck." Her skin looked paler then ever as she collapsed to the floor.

Simone was breathing slowly. Marshall crawled over to her. He kept repeating that he was sorry, over, and over again. Simone felt dizzy, and her vision was blurred. Marshall was crying when she fell unconscious.

Simone jokingly said, "I'll only keep my promise if you keep yours." Marshall looked confused at first, but then spoke with a blank face, "I'm not going to drink your blood Simone. That was once... when I was sev-en!" Simone chuckled slowly, "just making sure."

Marshall rested his head on her shoulder, and mumbled, "...I can't watch Cheers..." Simone chucked, "what?" Marshall whispered, his voice muffled against her shirt, "I found every season of that goddamn show in the wreckage of an old rental store... I tried to watch it, but it turns out that theme song makes me cry uncontrollably." Simone laughed, "awwh man... you're missing out... that show is a classic." She started humming the first few notes. Marshall groaned.

NOTE: Awwh!

So I'm going to get around to a lot of stuff, but right now do you want to see more young Marshall stuff, different Simone meetings, Finn x Simone stuff, more modern Marshall and Simone stuff, or what? Tell me what you wanna see.

I'm going to start making chapters longer, partially because I was asked. Plus, I've been wanting to increase the chapter length of this series for a while now. I made the chapters short when I thought this was going to be just a side thing.

I combined old chapters for ease of read, and actually went and rewrote 'Who Am I?' and as you can see I rewrote, and extended this chapter.
