-In the Dark Lands Castle-

Marshall slowly woke up from sleep. He felt a familiar sensation covering him. He opened his eyes and registered where he was. The walls were a navy blue. there were dark red curtains covering a large window to the left of the bed. on the wall opposite of the bed was a large painting of Marshall Lee and his family. He was just a small toddler. He sat atop his father's shoulder. His father looked very much like Marshall today, except with a scratchy beard and green eyes. Next to little Marshall and his father was his mother and sister. His mother had beautiful brown curly hair. She sported the most loving smile you could ever see. In her arms she carried Marshall's sister. She had black hair just like Marshall's yet longer. She had slightly darker skin than him. they looked like the perfect family.

"Glad to see your finally awake brother." A voice said to Marshall's right.

Marshall looked in the direction of the sound and came face to face with his sister, Marceline. She still had her long black hair and skin tone. She wore normal clothes you wouldn't expect a queen to wear. She wore a black and maroon striped sweater, black over shirt, navy blue jeans, and red converse slightly darker than Marshall's. The only thing showing her royalty was a wide, small, crown with maroon gems encased in the side

"Marceline? What happened?" Marshall asked slowly sitting up.

"You were kicked out of your girlfriend's kingdom and left for dead here. I saw them drag you. So i got on the family horse, rode when the coast was clear, and carried you back home. I even managed to grab your guitar." Marceline said sitting in a chair.

"How do you know about Fiona?" Marshall asked with such shock in his eyes

"Dude, everybody knows about you two. Ever since the day at the fair. So, what are you going to do?" Marceline asked

"Well for one thing, get out of this bed and grab every soldier, and free my girlfriend, her father, and her kingdom" Marshall speeched hopping out of bed suddenly wincing at pain in his head immediately sitting down.

"There's the stubborn Marshall Lee I've been missing. You should really rest before jumping into battle with the Ice Queen dude. Best to regain as much strength as possible. Besides, knowing your girlfriend she should be able to take care of herself for the time being." Marceline demanded with a smirk. The same smirk Marshall always had.

"But i need to-"

"No Marshall. I can't have you acting all stubborn just like dad." Marceline pleaded.

Back when they were just about ten, a war was going on with the candy kingdom. The king of the dark lands was advised not to go into battle with his soldiers. But among those soldiers was the kings best friend, the general. The general got hit badly. Out of instinct, the king ran into battle before being trampled by a fleet of horseback riders. His wife tried to stop him but he was stubborn enough to try to save his best friend.

"Fine Marceline. I'll stay. just until i get back on my feet." Marshall said feeling defeated.

"That's a good stubborn brother." Marceline smiled in victory.

"I see you haven't changed anything since i left the kingdom to you." Marshall said changing the subject.

"Yeah pretty much. No one really tries to take over. And there are still parties every night at the club."

"That's good." "Maybe when you're a little better we can go." Marceline asked

"No. I have to get my strength back to save Fiona." Marshall demanded.

"you just got back home. Might as well enjoy it since you never visit."

"You sound like a cranky old lady complaining about not seeing her kids anymore." Marshall joked. He soon yawned and laid back down in the pillow.

"Get some rest dude. I'll be here when you wake up." Marceline said putting the blanket over her brother and to toeing out of the room.

I'm sorry it's short. I've been having major writers block with my other story "Proving Eternal Love". yet another fiolee story. apparently that one is more popular than this one. i would seriously appreciate it if someone could help me with that story.
