Fionna woke up the next day, groggy but still having complete memory of the day before.
"Pssssst!" Fionna wants Marshall Lee up, then have things to do today!
He groans. "Fi- Fionna?" He looks confused, but grins at the sight of her in his bed.
"Hey there, sleepy head." She winks. He just beams at her natural beauty, in any setting Fionna has a glow to her nobody else can acquire.
"Hey Fionna, where are we going today?" He yawns and stretches loudly.
"I was thinking maybe the strawberry field you love oh-so much or maybe... Oh my Glob Marshall! I forgot about Cake..." She panics and starts struggling out of bed, wrestling with the heavy blankets and searching for her clothes.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Fionna, calm down and breathe. Can you do that for me? C'mon, baby..." He grabs her by the waist when she faces him and embraces her tightly, stroking her messy blonde hair, which has a calming effect with his words and soft voice, like music.
"She's worried, I always see her... she never leaves my side, oh Glob, she must be searching all over Aaa for me." She looks worried but he's calming her down.
"Shhh," he puts a finger to her lips and pulls away from her looking in her eyes. "Let's go to your house, have this whole thing sorted out..." he grabs her delicate hand, "together." He grins and so does she.
"Okay Marshall, but can we go to the strawberry field first? I can tell you're hungry and so am I." He nods. They walk to the field, Marshall picking strawberries and draining the vibrant red to a concrete grey. Fionna just munches on several. They finally get to her house.
Fionna opens the door, it creaks and squeaks.
"Wait here for a second." She kisses his cheek. Marshall nods blankly.
Cake is at the couch, resting. "Fionna! Where were you! I nearly called all of Aaa in for a search party! Ugh, I'm just glad you're safe home... but really, why didn't you come home last night? I was worried sick." Cake looks puzzled and doubtful. With anger and frustration painted on her face.
"I was with Marshall, you saw me leave saying that I was going to be with him?"
Cake's jaw drops. "You spent the night with him?" Her eyes wide in shock.
"Yeah, uh, Cake... we're uhm.. together now, I love him." She blushes and looks up at Marshall, he gives Fionna a reassuring grin.
"Cake, please don't be upset or shocked. I love your sister." He grins. It's not Marshall that she is particularly upset with, she just doesn't want to see Fionna get hurt again after Prince Gumball. He broke her heart.
"Okay Marshall," she looks up and grins towards them. "I approve of you two together. You make her happy and I know you won't hurt her, right?" She sternly asks.
"Of course not, Cake! She really is all I want and more, I will protect her and make sure she is always safe and sound. He kisses Fionna's forehead, she giggles and beams at Cake.
"Oh, baby cakes, I can't stand it, you two are so cute! Come here!" She hugs Fionna and Marshall Lee and grins widely. "Go ahead girl, be with him. I'm just glad to see you with someone who makes you smile this much, you deserve happiness. Go anywhere you want, just don't hide things from me, okay?" She smiles and Fionna nods and smiles back.
"Okay Cake, I'll see you later then!" They hug again and Fionna takes Marshall's hand. They walk out and shut the door. "Where do we go now?" She asks hopefully.
"Hmm... how about... well I don't kno-" She kisses him, deeply, passionately. His hands slide down to her lower back and hers go to his neck. They break apart after a few minutes.
"Whoa... what was that for?" He teases and floats above her. Smirking and showing his flawless fangs.
"Just for being perfect and because... I love you." She blushes and looks down nervously.
He chuckles. "You don't have to be nervous about anything anymore, Fi. Say what you feel, do what you want. Hey look, I am, you should be able to too. I say that I love you, my darling little adventurer. I kiss you and I'm with you." He kisses her cheek. "I love you, Fionna. Never let that leave your mind." She nods eagerly then chuckles. "What's so funny?" He asks suspiciously.
"Nothing, just how you don't care about being judged because of how you feel about me, how I feel about you."
"Which would I even be embarrassed? You're perfect." He grins as Fionna blushes deep pink on her cheeks. She hides her face.
"Why are you hiding?"
"Because of me blushing, it's horrible!" She blushes deeper and breathes deeply trying to get back to her original hue of beige and tan. He takes her hands and pulls them away from her still blushing face.
"I like your blushing, it's cute." He admits, smirking and wrapping his arms around her from behind.
