Hey guys! Sorry it's taken so long to update, but I had a death in the family so….I'm sorry. So here's the next chapter!

Marceline ran to her house after her encounter with Marshall. Why didn't he just leave her alone, she wondered.
She walked into her home and closed the door, praying her father wasn't home to ask her why she was late.
She started heading up the stairs when she heard, "Oh, Marceline, where have you been?"
She cringed as she made her way back down the steps as she called out, "I've been at school, Daddy."
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT SHIT, MARCELINE. IT DOESN'T TAKE YOU THAT LONG TO GET HOME!" he yelled out from his position on the couch as she made an appearance.
"I'm not lying, Daddy," she said as she held back the tears, don't show him you're hurt, she thought to herself as she walked to face him.
"GO MAKE ME SOMETHING TO EAT, YOU STUPID, WORTHLESS, FUCKING WHORE!" he said as Marceline got up and went to the kitchen.
She made him something to eat in a daze and wondered if life would ever be better for her. She stopped for a moment and looked out the window, there had to be something better for her out there.

Marshall came home in a daze. He sat down and wondered how one girl could make him think such things. You're Marshall Lee, he thought to himself, girls want to be with you, you don't want to be with them.
He continued onto his room where he sat there paying music. Not many people knew this but, he wanted to be a musician. He looked up to the people that saved others lives by just the words they sing. He loved the thought that you could save someone you don't even know, maybe that's why he wanted to be with Marceline, he could feel that there was something about her that needed saving, even if she wouldn't let you in far enough to tell you that for herself.

The next day at school, there was a new boy. He had white hair that somehow managed to come to his face. He seemed like an outcast, so when he found Marceline, people were already making fun of them.
"Hey. I'm Ash, I'm new. I was wondering if you could show me around, since it is my first day and all," he said.
"Um sure, but are you sure you want to be talking to me?" she asked.
"Yeah, why not? You are the most beautiful girl I've seen here," he said as he gave her a wink.
For some reason, she blushed. What the hell, Marcy, she wondered.

Marshall, who saw the whole thing, instantly felt anger build up inside him.
"Whoa, Marsh, chill out bro," PG said as he watched his friends hands form a fist and slam his locker shut.
"I am calm," he muttered angrily under his breath.
"Then I'd hate to see you angry."
"Shut up, Princeton," he said.
"Dude, I know you like her, why don't you just go for it?" he asked.
"Because she hates me maybe?" Marshall said as he snapped at his friend. "Look man, I didn't mean to go off on you like that, besides, what makes you think I could ever even like anybody like her?"
"Because she's so much like you. Because, she puts you in your place. Because she's the girl you've been chasing since day one. Come on, I'm not stupid," Princeton said.
"Ever since you got a girlfriend you've been going soft on me," Marshall said.
"Love is amazing bro, you should give it a try," Princeton said as he walked away, leaving Marshall lost in his thoughts.

"Marcy," Marshall called as he saw the girl by her locker.
Marceline had been having a good day. She and Ash had gotten along well and her friends seemed to like him as well, maybe there could be something there.
"What do you want, Marshall?" she asked as he came closer.
"All I want is to talk to you ok?" he said.
"Sure, talk."
"I don't have a good feeling about this Ash guy," he said, "there's just something about him…"
"Whatever Marshall, you just can't stand to think that I could date someone who isn't you. And why should you care? I mean after all, all you do is date girls for a little bit, make them think you love them, then leave them. I don't want that, and especially not with you," Marceline spat at him as she turned on her heel and walked away.
"Marcy, don't be that way," he said as he called after her. When she didn't turn around, he ran his hands through his hair and sighed. He shouldn't have listened to Princeton.

Fionna and Marceline were walking home when Fionna said, "Look. You need to give Marshall a chance before you even think about going off with Ash. He's all wrong for you, Marcy. He would make things worse for you."
Marceline snapped at her, "You don't know anything. What if he's the one to lead me out of the darkness that I'm living in?"
"He's not Marcy! I can tell! Please don't date Ash!" Fionna pleaded with her friend.
"I have to go, I'll see you later," Marceline said as she walked away.

Weeks had gone by and Marceline and Ash had begun to date. Finn and Fionna were talking, "I'm worried about her. She seems distant. I don't know what Ash is doing to her but I don't like it," Finn said.
"I never liked him, and I told her, but something's up here, and I'm gonna find out what it is," Fionna said.
Finn looked at her, "Our newest adventure!" he said. "Can we bring Jake along sometimes?" he asked.
"Only if I'm allowed to bring Cake!" Fionna said.
"Deal. I shall call this adventure, Get The Old Marcy Back," Finn said.
"Hell yeah, good plan dude," Fionna said as they high fived.

Off in the distance, Marshall heard, and hope suddenly grew in his soul. Maybe he would end up with Marceline after all. Seeing her with Ash over the last few weeks had made him know, Marceline was the one.

I'm sorry it sucked but I'm kinda sleepy and I just wanted to update something on here. Thanks for reading.
