MMH: edited 10/14/14. Don't forget to review... and hopefully favorite.

We arrived at Marshmallowy Meadows and I hopped off of Marshall. "So uh, what do you want to do?" I asked.

"I dunno." Marshall Lee shrugged his shoulders and turned away. It must have been pretty awkward for him to hang out with a person who attacked him and then apologized a few days later.

I tried to break the ice. "Wanna just talk?" He looked at me funny and I rolled my eyes. "Do you have any better ideas?"

"All right. What do you want to know?"

"Where you're from, what's your favorite bloodtype, when you were bitten, whatever," I said.

"Actually I drink the color red, not blood."

"Blood is red," I said and Marshall grinned.

"Yeah but I don't actually drink the blood, just the color. It's kind of complicated. Anyways, I was un-born a thousand-ish years ago and I've always been a vampire. I became Vampire King about four hundred years ago and I've moved around from place to place ever since. Nothing really that special compared to an adventurer."

I smiled at his compliment. Was he trying to woo me? …Because it was kind of working.

"Well, my life isn't really that interesting either. I was found in the woods by Cake's parents when I was a baby. Ever since, I've been a part of their family. I started adventuring after our dad was attacked and the rest is history." I rubbed the back of my neck. I normally hated talking about my life.

"What happened?"

"He was uh, attacked by vampires." I scratched my arm and looked away. Crap, I made it awkward. I walked right into that one.

"Oh." He said. I could tell Marshall Lee knew he unintentionally hit a sore spot, so I tried to brush it off. It wasn't his fault after all.

"Yeah, but he's fine. A few bite and claw scars, but at least he's alive." I smiled reassuringly at Marshall and he returned it. We talked for hours about our lives. We talked about friends and family, what our favorite movies were, and anything that came to mind. It turns out, one of the many places that Marshall lived was actually my tree house.

"You should probably get home to said tree house, huh?"

"Nah, it's only…" I looked at my watch. It was two in the morning. "… oh yeah, I should."

"I'll fly ya." Before I could decline, Marshall Lee lifted me up in the air and we were off. We were there in minutes and I bid him goodnight. He flew off and I stood there smiling for a moment. Marshall was great guy and I felt slight guilt for judging him so quickly. However, one could never be too careful. Eventually I went inside and was caught off-guard by my cat roommate standing in front of the doorway.

"Fi, where have you been? I was so worried when I couldn't find you after the party." Cake pounced on me and I almost fell backwards.

"Chill you crazy cat. I was out hanging with Marshall Lee." I pulled her off and plopped her on the couch. She eyed me carefully.

"Marshall Lee? But I thought…"

"He's cool now. Vampires are pretty awesome when you don't have to fight 'em." I replied, cutting her off.

"Have you eaten some bad sweets? Vampires are evil, sweetie. Remember what happened to Dad?"

"Yes. In fact, I told Marshall Lee about it and he totally gets why I was so rude to him. He's totally different than any vampire I've ever been told about." I smiled smugly.

Cake sighed and stood up. "Well, okay. I just want you to be extra careful around him. That boy is on probation in my book."

I laughed and went upstairs to get ready for bed. The whole time I was thinking about how cool it would be to learn guitar. Maybe Marshall could teach me. That night I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep, but something was bothering me. I felt like something was watching me. I just couldn't shake it. I tossed and turned for about an hour before I couldn't take it anymore.

"Cake? You awake?"

"Yeah. I can't seem to fall asleep."

"Me either. I feel like something is watching us." I got up and went to the window, but there was nothing out there. "I guess it's just my imagination." I got back in bed and Cake snuggled at my feet.

"How did you manage to find Marshall Lee anyways?" she asked. Why was she still hung up on that?

"You know that super mathematical scroll that PG has?"

"That giant thing that I accidentally knocked behind his desk a couple months ago?"

"That was you? Well it shows everyone's location in the land of Ooo."

"Everyone? So like you and me too?"

"Uh-huh."

"That must be what's freaking you out." Cake yawned. "I am too now that I know there's a weird scroll that knows where everyone is that anyone can look at it."

"I guess you're right."

Cake always knew how to make me feel better. I eventually fell into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, Cake and I were awoken by a tapping at our window. Cake groaned and went downstairs to cook up some breakfast. I opened the glass and Gumball's giant bird Morrow stuck its head into our room and dropped a letter before quickly leaving.

Fionna,

Hurry to the castle ASAP.

Gumball

"CAKE, C'MON! WE'RE GOING TO THE CANDY KINGDOM!" I shouted down the stairs. I smelt sugar and vanilla coming from the kitchen.

"Are we gonna make this trip a daily thing?"

"PROBABLY!" I smiled. I heard Cake sigh and then clanging of pots and pans.

"I guess the pancakes will have to wait."

We arrived at the castle to fine everyone in chaos. As we continued to walk to the castle, I was bombarded by random candy people throwing in their two cents.

"I'm so worried!" "What are you going to do, Fionna?" "If she can get into the kingdom undetected, then Gumball will never be safe again!"

Get in undetected? What? Cake and I quickly walked up to the suddenly heavily guarded castle. One guard stepped out of the line of dozens and stared the two of us down.

"State your name." The guard was stood like a stone in front of the door. I was a little taken aback. He doesn't trust me? I'm one of Gumball's best friends.

"Fionna the Human and Cake the cat," I said.

"State your business."

"Gumball said he needed to see me ASAP. I have the letter proving it." I handed the letter to him, but the candy cane guard still eyed me suspiciously. I rolled my eyes before I simply shoved him out of my way.

"Halt, In the name of the future King!"

We rushed into Gumballs room and saw him pacing back and forth wringing his hands.

"Fionna! Something horrible has happened!" Gumball noticed the guard was still following me and dismissed him, but not before yelling at him for being stupid enough to not trust the 'greatest heroine in Ooo', his words, not mine.

"I know. What's up?" I asked.

"The Ice Queen stole the scroll."

"What? How did that happen?"

"No one knows. We assume she was disguised as someone who had access to my private quarters."

"Well, who has access?"

"That would be me, you, the candy guards, and my grandmother."

"But you have like, a billion guards! That doesn't help at all…"

"Well it's better than nothing," he said. True "Now, what's the game plan?"

"I guess the only thing to do is go to her castle and beat the tar out of her till she gives back the scroll." I said farewell to Gumball and Cake and I raced to the Ice Mountains.

"Damn it! With the scroll she can kidnap all the princes in Ooo in minutes!" I hated going to the Ice Kingdom. It was always cold and more often than not I would bust my ass on a patch of ice.

"Well, we just gotta make sure that she doesn't have the time to use it," Cake reassured me. We both knew that if she did kidnap all the princes then she'd in theory have full control of Ooo since all the royalties' predecessors would be missing in action. We couldn't allow that.
