Hey peeps of Awesomeness! So I kept my promise for a longer chapter and here it is. Let me just say that I think this is the best one yet. I was really getting stuck in between each seen and I've finally finished the chapter.

Hope you like it!

DISCLAIMER: Yeah... I don't own anything but the ghost queen and the plot. P. Ward owns the show.


"I guess she's not a demon." Cake says.
"So this is the female friend of yours Heather was talking about." The Ghost Queen says gesturing towards Fionna. "She did say that you have changed over the years Marshall Lee. But she didn't mention that you're living in such a small house. Took me a while to realize that only you would live in something so hideous." "What is it with old ladies and your house Marshall?" Fionna asks.
"I must say Marshall Lee I am so surprised in you. You've grown since our last meeting. What were you? Seven? Eight? Maybe nine? It doesn't matter though. You are a pathetic king. Just like your father." Eileen taunts.
That did it.
"Get out Eileen." Marshall growls through clenched teeth.
"Can't I come and visit an old friend?" She asks.
"No. Why are you even here?" Marshall Lee asks in disgust.
"You know why. Don't play dumb boy. We both know that this day would come my king. Six hundred years after your father's death to be precise. The clock has been ticking since you were born. And now it's come. It's my turn to rule the night! Your father passed years ago making you king, but now that Halloween is upon us, I will rule the night!" The Queen says laughing maniacally.
"Why Halloween though?" Fionna asks curiously.
"Silly girl. Didn't he tell you? It's-"
"It's just the time creatures of the night are at their full power." Marshall Lee finishes with nervousness.


Fionna' s P.O.V.

Marshall Lee has a nervous look on his face. Raising my suspicions. What was it that he was hiding anyways? He usually tells me everything.
"Tic toc Marshall Lee. On Halloween at midnight, I will have total power!" Eileen cackles and floats off into the night.

"Marshall Lee you better spill the beans!" I yell.
Marshall suddenly becomes interested in the floor. He sighs and finally spills. "Okay, but we need to leave here now." He says.

He flat off with Cake and I beside him. Me on Cake' s back of course. We head towards the outskirts of Aaa by the woods. Cake and I sit on a branch next to Marshall Lee and sit in silence for a second. Marshall Lee stares off into the night. His eyes a deeper red than usual. These days they get deeper and deeper a red every time I see him. He pulls me out of my thoughts by breaking the silence.
"A thousand years ago I was born. My dad did technically have control over the Nightosphere since he was born heir to the throne, but my mom was evil to the max and a control freak. So when I was seven and the The Great Mushroom War started, she sent Dad into the war. When it ended, news got out that my dad died , making me officially king. But I had to wait till I became a teenager. By that time I was in Aaa with Simone. That was, before she lost it. I was sent back to the Nightosphere and lived there for a while. But when I turned fourteen, my mom did something I couldn't forgive her for and I'd had it. I was announced king and left for Aaa. And I've lived here since." Marshall Lee says.
"That thing about Halloween. What was that about?" I asked.
"Halloween is the time of year when the creatures of the night are at their full power. Some act crazy and some lose it from bloodlust. We can actually be free. But Halloween hasn't always been that way." He says.
"Really? So why is it?" I ask.
"Because it's my birthday. I was the first of my dad's family to be born at exactly midnight on Halloween. So all the people of the Nightosphere received their full power. It's been that way since then." Marshall says looking at the moon. It's almost full, but Gumball says that it should be full on Halloween.

Weird.

I never knew how complicated Marshall' s life is. He's always been so laid back. Like he didn't have any worries at all. But as I look into his eyes, I see sorrow. Then I realize now that it's always been there. He's just hidden it so well. Behind his actions and words. He's been hurt this while time.

And I've been so blinded.

He finally tears his eyes away from the moon and looks me in the eyes. I stare into his eyes directly. Those blood red eyes. Most of the time I'd joke with him about it but now I was serious.
Then something occurs to me.
"Wait. If all demons and stuff act like that on Halloween, what do you do?" Cake asks. The same thing I am wondering.
"I don't know. Nothing ever happens to me at this year. I just sit back and watch them loose it. I know how to control myself. Most vampires and demons can't." He says glumly.


Marshall' s P.O.V

I feel bad for lying to Fionna. Cake I could live with, but not Fi.
I have lost it once on Halloween.
But that was because I was in love. I had met my ex Ashley that fall. I hadn't known she was crazy, so I was in love with her. She was a wizard and we were both immortal, meaning that we would live forever together. I loved her and she loved me back. Things were perfect until October.
I woke up some mornings to find that I had changed into a demon in my sleep. I stopped wanting the color red and began to want something more.

Blood

On Halloween I went blood crazy and started attacking people. Candy people mostly. Prince Pinky hadn't noticed that I had eaten half of his kingdom because he was working on an experiment. He never did find out though.
Every year I stayed with her was every year a kingdom's population would drop. Until the year I broke up with her. I had told myself that I would never let something else like that happen again.
But then I met Fionna.
Now that she's around, I have to be extra careful. She's the last person I would want to hurt.

"So how do we stop the Ghost Queen?" Fionna asks.
"Easy, all we have to do is find her weakness." I answer.
"By doing what?"
"There is one place we can find out. I was just hoping that it didn't come down to it." I say.
"What?"
"We have to go to the Nightosphere."
