I AM SO SORRY! Sunny was late with the chapter and she is busy and she won't write! Which makes me mad cuz I'm late on updates which makes you mad at me!

So we came to a conclusion that the fic will all be written my me, no co-writer, just me! I am quite happy about that, I love Sunny to death, but it ain't working! So I hope you like the chapter I wrote (Sunny wrote some of it) and once again I AM SO SORRY! I am a very busying human being!

Fionna's POV:

I flop on the couch and sigh dramatically. "Okay, Cake, to you, how bad was it?"

"You sat on Marshall's lap in a frilly dress, how do you think I feel?" she replies blandly. I groan.

"That's it, no more science for me. Science is evil!" I declare.

"You said it. Although that gives you less time with Prince Gumball…," she muses.

"Enh. He's a nice guy, but…"

"But what? Girl, just yesterday you were super excited about seeing him!" Cake protests.

"I dunno…he's just too…whatever. I mean, how often does he get out of that castle?"

"He goes out once a week to see his people."

"But other than that!"

"Errmmm….," Cake muses, scratching her head.

"Exactly! I need a guy that'll go on adventures with me." I stand up waving my hands around. "Not ones that will end up with me in a dress!"

My thoughts pop over to Marshall. He always comes along with me when I ask. I shake my head. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope. "Fi, are you alright?" Cake asks, concern lacing her voice. I realize I've just been shaking my head like an idiot.

"Yeah, fine." With that, I shove any images of Marshall out of my head.

Cake ponders for a minute, "I know what will cheer you up! An adventure!"

My interest is peaked; anything that will keep my mind away from romance is good enough for me!

I nod and Cake jumps up excited, I can't help but smile. I grab my sword and backpack and head out the door to the Land of Aaa. Cake and I walk around, avoiding the Candy Kingdom, just looking around for adventure. Before I know it we're in the deepest part of the forest, I've never been in this area. I turn to Cake, "I wonder what's around here?"

Cake shakes her head, "I don't know Fionna I have a bad feeling about this."

I roll my eyes, "You're such a scaredy-cat!"

"I AM NOT!" she hisses.

I smile, "Whatever I'm going with or without you." I walk into the dark deep forest, tingling with mystery. I can hear Cake's faint yelling as I go deeper. I look around and see the trees are darker and the leaves have a more thorny texture to them. The animals have some sort of sinister demonic appeal to them, and not the good kind either.

I hear a rustle in the bushes besides me, I pull out my sword ready to defend myself. The sound gets closer. I start to get nervous, I don't know why. But I just have a feeling that I should have listened to Cake. Suddenly a bat looking monster jumps out of the bushes baring its long sharp fangs, I scream and swing my sword at it. I cut its right cheek, it hisses back.

"Ow!" says a voice. My blood runs cold, I know that voice! The monster shifts into Marshall Lee as he holds his cheek which is covered in crimson blood.

I drop my sword and rush towards him, "Oh my glob are you okay Marshall I didn't mean to hurt you. You just scared me and my instincts took over."

He looks over and gives me a fanged smile, "Yeah I know."

The realization hits me and I punch him in the arm, "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING SCARING ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

He gives me a carefree laugh, "I wanted to make sure you where okay from last night. I was worried about you."

I blush a little, "Oh..."

He leans in closer towards me with his crimson demon eyes narrowed, "What are you doing anyway on my turf?"

I stare at him dumbfounded, "What do you mean 'your turf'?"

"Well this is where I hang out during the day. It's the only place in Aaa dark enough for me to not get burned, it also has awesome inspiration value." He stops and looks around as a spine chilling howl echoes through the forest, "This is also where the Dark creatures live." He point to the horizon of the forest, "Up that road is the Nightmare Kingdom, and that's a place a highly recommend not to go to."

I beam in excitement, "Well that makes me what to go there even more." I start to head in that direction when Marshall grabs my arm.

"It's dangerous, and it's not a place for mortals or even heroes to go," Marshall says in a stern tone, "That is the Kingdom of the Evil. Only people who can master darkness are allowed in."

I eye him, "Well can you enter?"

He smirks, "Why of course! I am the Vampire King!"

I smile, "Good! Cuz you're taking me!" My eyes widen, what am I doing? I went on this adventure to avoid him and Gumball! I rip away from his grasp, my heart beating faster. Why am I acting so strange? I feel Marshall's cold but comforting grasp on both of my arms, shaking some sense into me.

"Are you crazy! I'm not taking you anywhere that could put your life in danger! I know Gumball allows you to risk your life on some dangerous quest that could kill you! But I'm not like that and that's not because I think you aren't capable of doing so. You are, it's just I don't want to see you get hurt Fionna, because I care about you!" yells Marshall. I blink a few times, amazed. He's actually being serious for once, and it's quite shocking. Trying to wrap my head around what I just heard. "So I'm not going to let you go!" finishes Marshall.

I gently smile and lean in without even thinking, letting my instincts take over. I gently brush my lips against his in a short chaste kiss, I stare back at his blushing face. A rosy color brightens up my cheeks as a small smile forms on my lips, "Okay. So don't let me go."

He eyes me and runs his tongue over his sharp pearly fangs, "What angle are you playing at Fionna."

I slip out of his grasp and shrug, "No angle, you win."

He floats back surprised and lands on the ground in front of me. I act perfectly calm, I am not going to deny my feelings anymore. I want to stop running away from the fact. I really like Marshall and I care about him. I know he cares about me too...in his own way.

He raises an eyebrow, "Really?"

I nod, "Yep."

He puts his hand on my forehead, "You don't have a fever or anything."

I roll my eyes and shove his hand off, "I'm positive."

He smiles and stalks closer towards me, pushing me against a tree. He blocks my way of escape, "I see. So that kiss just wasn't you hallucinating." He leans his face closer to mine as his forehead brushes against mine, my face flushes. All I do is simply nod. He smirks showing off his fangs, that always gives me goose bumps. He pulls me towards him, his crimson eyes full of emotion, and I let him in. He gently forces his lips onto mine, his mouth so warm, so soft...so comforting. His lips brushing over mine, once, twice until he finally lingers. I move closer to him placing my hand on his firm chest. I can feel his hand slip under my hat as he laces his fingers through my golden locks, and I tilt my head. I've kissed him before...but not like this! Not without so much meaning. I lean in closer making a deeper kiss as I feel a smirk form on his lips.

Suddenly I feel his hand pull off my hat and my long flowing golden hair falls. He breaks away so I can gasp for air, since he doesn't need to breathe. My hair falls in front of my face as he chuckles. He pushes my bangs out of my face and behind my ear. He leans in to whisper in my ear, "I'll be taking this." He floats away from me and smugly holds up my bunny hat.

"Hey!" I shout, "Give that back!"

He smiles evilly, "If you want it back you have to come to my place tonight. Alone."

I pout, "Fine whatever." He smiles, suddenly Cake's shouts catches our attention.

"Fionna where are you!" I hear her yell in a distance.

"Cake!" I call back, "Over here!" I turn back to Marsh and he presses his lips against mine one more time. He pulls back to see my extremely flushed face, he smiles.

"I'll see you tonight Fi," he whispers. Then he disappears, where did he go!?

At that moment Cake comes leaping out of the bushes, scaring me. I jump up holding my chest, breathing hard. "Cake you almost gave me a heart attack!"

She seems relieved, "Sorry sweetie I was worried about you."

I smile and give my sister a hug. "Well I'm fine." A howl echo through the woods making Cake fluff up, I laugh. I pick her up and start to walk out of the forest, "Come on let's get out of here."

Cake's paws plays with my hair, "What happened to your hat?"

"Oh some creature attacked me and took it," I say. Well it isn't a lie, Marshall is a monster creature like thing...I don't know what he is and he took it. So it's the truth.

"Alright sugar," Cake says in a low voice.

We make it out of the forest and back to the tree fort. Cake and I start playing B-Mo when she gets a call from Lord Mono. Seems she has another date with him, she turns to me.

"Are you sure I can go and leave you here?" she asks worriedly.

I smile and nod, "Of course you go have fun. I'll be fine."

She smiles and goes out the door. I look out the window and notice it's starting to settle into dusk, my eyes widen. Has it been that long already? I rush to get my backpack and bolt out of the Fort, to head to Marsh's place.

I hope I'm not too late!

Done! And I promise that updates won't be this late but I'm busy. I'll try hard though!

Well I hoped you liked it! REVIEW!

Bye! Until next chapter.

Sunny: In my defense, I'm in all advanced classes with piano and riding lessons and rehearsal to keep up with. Sorry. But obviously, Chesh can do just as well at Fionna as me. But keep expecting sassy notes from me at the end.
