Marshall woke up in a wooden chair in his living room. He looked around and saw Cake and Fionna sleeping on the floor. He tried to move, but noticed he had been tied up. "Really? I can change form?" He turned into a small bat and the ropes fell. He began to fly when suddenly he was grabbed by a net.
"You really think that I didn't think you would just do that?" Fionna pressed the net against the floor. "You're Not getting out."
"Really?" He began to transform into a bigger bat, but the net held him down. "How the!?"
"Magic. Now agree to us talking this out like reasonable people and I'll let you go."
"Really? I could just leave when you do."
"You won't. Cause you're not a liar." Fionna smiled. "Now, do you agree?"
"Fine! Yes. Let me go."
Fionna lifted the net and Marshall turned back into his normal human form. He walked over to the couch and sat down. He motioned Fionna to come sit next to him. She did as he asked, but Cake decided that this was a matter they needed to settle so she walked outside and say down.
"Okay… Let's talk."
Fionna sighed. "I'll just say it, You can't just leave."
"Why?"
"Because you're my friend and-"
"Fionna. I can't be around you knowing I could snap and hurt you. I care too much about you to do that."
"If you cared that much you'd stay and we'd handle this, together."
Marshall sat in silence. He had no response for that.
"Look Marshall, I know it's dangerous, but you are my best friend. I can't lose you."
Marshall sat and thought. He leaned back and sighed. "Alright… You win. I'll stay, but on the condition that if it happens again… you have to stop me. Okay?"
"Stop? As in…"
"Kill, imprison, anything to make sure I can't hurt you or anybody. Promise me that."
Fionna knew she could not hurt Marshall, no matter what, but she also knew that she did not want him to leave. "Alright. I promise."
"Alright. What do you want to do now?"
Fionna stood up. "Well I'm going to get some sleep. So I guess I'll head home for tonight. That okay?"
"I mean if you want to stay here and sleep that's fine, but it's whatevs." Marshall laughed.
"I can… on my ONE condition." She smiled.
"Please… no more-"
"Heat Signature! We watch it!" She jumped up and yelled.
Cake busted through the door. "I heard yelling! What's going on?"
Fionna laughed. "Marshall wants me to stay here and make sure he's okay. So we're going to watch Heat Signature, right Marshy?" She looked at Marshall sternly.
"Y…Yeah." He looked at Cake and smiled.
"Okay… I guess… No funny business Fionna. I'll know…" Cake took two fingers and pointed at her own eyes then Marshall's then Fionna's. Cake backed out the door slowly and closed it.
"Well… wanna do it?" Fionna looked at Marshall.
"What?! Ugh…" He could feel himself about to have a panic attack. "I mean… ugh… Do what?"
"Watch Heat Signature. What did you… Oh you nasty." Fionna laughed and walked over to the TV and looked for Heat Signature. Marshall wiped his brow and sighed. "Found it." She went to put it in the VCR but turned to Marshall. "Marshall?"
"Yes?" Marshall looked at her puzzled.
"I know you don't like this movie, so why do you watch it with me, all the time?"
"Well… because I enjoy your company… and… Just put the movie in." Marshall looked away.
Fionna smiled. "Alrighty, Marshy." She ran over and jumped on the couch next to him. "OWWW!"
Marshall laughed. "You know my couch is terrible." She looked at him and scowled. "Okay, watching movie now."
Half way through the movie Fionna laid her head on Marshall's lap and dozed off. Marshall sat there and looked at her. He could just leave now. She could not stop him, but she was right. He was not a liar or promise breaker. He slowly picked her head up and moved off the couch. She rolled over and grumbled. He walked to the Television and turned it off then floated to her.
"Oh… glob." She had drool running out her open mouth. "The things I do for women." He reached down and used his shirt sleeve to wipe her mouth. Her eyes opened and saw him do this and she smiled.
"Thanks… Marsh…" She did not even finish her sentence before she was back asleep.
"Yea… no problem." He slid his hand under her leg and back, picked her up, and flew towards his bedroom. He floated next to the bed and gently laid her down on it. He pulled the covers over her and raised her head and slid a pillow under it. She opened her eyes once again.
"Marshall?"
He sat down next to her. "Yes."
She yawned. "Sing me a song. Please?"
Marshall smiled. "Ugh… Let me think of one." He walked over to his red acoustic and picked it up. He strummed randomly. "I got one for you."
He put his capo on and began to strum a gentle beat.
Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

He let off the final chord and looked up to see a sleeping Fionna. He smiled and sat the guitar down. Maybe she had heard enough to get the meaning, he thought. Then he yawned and decided he would try to get some sleep too. He stood up and floated downstairs to lock the door. When he locked it he looked outside to see a small light fade away instantly.
"Huh?" He looked harder, but it was gone. "Guess it was nothing." He turned and walked back towards the room. When he got to the living room his door exploded open, sending him crashing into the wall. Marshall was in a dazed state looking around. Then out of the smoke walked a man made of fire.
"I know she's here!" He picked up Marshall by his shirt. "Where is she, blood sucker?"
Marshall smiled and chuckled. "She's not here, hot head."
Flame Prince threw him against the wall across the room. Marshall hit it hard and felt blood in his mouth.
"I saw her and Cake come here, but only Cake leave." He picked up Marshall again. "Now, I'll asked again. Where is my girl-"
"Right here." Fionna was across the room.
"Baby!" He dropped Marshall and began to walk to her. "I'm sorry about…"
Fionna raised her fist. "You lost the right to call me baby."
"Wait…" He looked back at Marshall and then back to Fionna. "Are... Are you breaking up with me?"
"Considering that you just blew up a part of my friend's house, then hurt him, and before that tried to punch me… Yes."
Flame Prince smirked. "See… This isn't how it works. I decide when it ends. And it does not end here." He walked to Fionna. "Come on. Let's just talk this out. I know we can-" Fionna's fist cut him off and sent him to the floor.
"Talk is weak." She rubbed her hand.
"Fionna…" Marshall coughed. "Run!"
"I got this Mar-" She jumped out of the way of a fireball.
"Fionna! I just want to love you!" Flame Prince walked towards her. "I know this looks bad, but we can fix this, just like we did after YOU lied to me, about Ice Queen, REMEMBER?!"
Fionna sighed. "FP… there's no talking this one out. You went too far this time."
Flame Prince turned away and Fionna could see a flame tear fall. "Fionna… I love you." Flame Prince walked to Marshall and picked him up. "But this freak isn't going to take you from me!" He began to choke Marshall.
Fionna ran towards Flame Prince and Marshall. She knocked them into the kitchen. Marshall slid against the refrigerator and Flame Prince was next to the sink. Fionna stood in the middle of the kitchen.
"He didn't take me from you. You drove me away." Fionna readied herself as Flame Prince stood up again.
"Drove you away? Like you did me, but I forgave you." He stood straight up. "You're the one who let him spent the night with you, and now you're spending the night with him. I'm the one… who drove YOU AWAY!" He began to yell.
"I know this all looks wrong, but you have gone too far. Marshall did nothing and look at what you've done." Fionna could feel the heat off Flame Prince began to grow hotter. He was about to attack. Fionna charged and jumped over him. When he turned around she turned on the sink and grabbed the sprayer. She began to spray him with water. He backed against the wall, screaming.
"Just leave FP… PLEASE!" She yelled over him. "It's over!"
"BUT… I love… you!"
"Just GO!" She left off the sprayer and Flame Prince stood up. "Please, FP."
"FINE! Fine…" He slowly stood up and walked to the hole in the wall. "This isn't over yet… Blood sucker." He looked at Marshall before he turned and walked out into the night.
"Marshall…" Fionna ran over to him. "You okay?"
Marshall had some blood running down his mouth. "Peachy. Never been better."
"We need to get you to a doctor." She went to lift him, but he objected.
"No! No doctor. They'll… no. Just no."
"But Marshall!" Fionna went to pick him up again.
"No! They have needles…"
Fionna stared at him then slowly began to laugh. "Needles? You're a one thousand year old vampire king, that's half demon. Yet you're scared of needles?"
Marshall looked away. "Yes." Fionna laughed harder. "Look I'm bleeding internally here. Can we just get me to a bed or something? Preferably yours because my house has a huge HOLE IN IT!" He then began to cough up blood. "Just swell."
Fionna stopped laughing and reached into her bag and pulled out a phone. She dialed and waited.
"Come on… Answer. Hey! Cake. Something happen at Marshall's… Flame Prince… Yes. I need you to come get Marshall. He's hurt."
"Tell her I said hey."
"Please hurry. Bring the baby sling."
"NO! NO! Please glob no."
"Oh… Marshall's saying hey. She said hey Marshall."
"I hate you"
"Okay. Please hurry. Bye Cake." She hung up the phone and picked up Marshall. "Time to go Princess."
"You are the worst…" She began to walk. "OW! Walk softer. You walk like an elephant trampling a field of mice. Glob." Fionna stopped and stared at Marshall.
"If you want me to just leave you, on the ground here, I can?"
"No No No No… It's cool. Let's just go."
Fionna walked out the cave and kept going until she saw Cake coming. She began to wave her down.
"Oh baby… are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Cake." Marshall jumped in.
"Not you!" Cake hissed at him.
"I'm good, Cake. Do you have to baby sling?"
"Yes girl." She grew and wrapped it around herself. "Throw him in."
"Please just let me die here… I would rather." Marshall said as Fionna put him in the sling.
"Man up and shut up." Fionna tapped his cheek with her hand. She then climbed on Cake. "Let's get home."
"Please hurry before I die… of embarrassment." Marshall sighed.
After a few minutes the reached the tree house and Cake stretched up to the window that Ice Queen busted out.
"Oh… So here's a huge hole too. So much changed." Marshall laughed as Fionna jumped through the window and unstrapped Marshall.
"You complain so much to people who help you, you know that right?" Fionna carried him to the bed.
"It's my way of saying thank you, and that I'm in a bad shape." Marshall smiled as she sat him on the bed.
"Well you're welcome. Do you need anything?" Fionna pulled up the covers.
"Can you just lay here next to me? I had a rough day. Do you want to hear about it?"
"Marshall I was there… the whole time."
"I just want you to lay here next to me."
"Fine… weenie." Fionna crawled into bed and laid next to him. "No funny business. We just lay here. Okay?"
"Ah… I never… I'm a respectable person, and I would never…" Fionna stared at him. "Okay. Fine." He laid his head down.
"Don't you need bandages or anything?" Cake said from the window.
"It'll heal itself. I just got to rest. It's a vampiric benefit." He closed his eyes.
Cake crawled in her bed in the drawer. "Goodnight you two. I need some sleep."
"Night Cake." Fionna said as she laid her head down.
"Marshall…?" Cake asked.
"Hmmmm? Oh… Night Cake. Thank you for helping today"
"That's what I thought. Hmmm." Cake rolled over and drifted off to sleep.
Marshall laid there with his eyes closed thinking about how the day had went.
"Fionna?"
"Yeah?"
"Crazy day, huh?" He laughed.
"You can say that again. Worst part is the day just began." It was about 6am now.
"Well… It's a new day. Time to make new, better choices."
"I guess so."
"Thanks for saving me back there."
"No problem. Thanks for the song Marshy."
"Anytime. Anytime." Marshall felt Fionna's head lay down on his chest. "Ok-"
"Just go to sleep."
"Okay. Goodnight Fionna."
"Goodnight Marshy."
The two drifted off into sleep.

I uploaded this twice for anyone wondering. The first time I had some serious mistakes. I was rereading when I noticed them. I rarely reread due to being so tired or no time, but I did and decided to just take it down and fix some. Might still be some, and I do apologize.

I started typing these two Chapters (9 and 10) at about 11pm. I have type 4 hours straight.
This isn't the end, but it may be a bit before the next upload, due to work, ideas, and procrastination. Or I may type it tomorrow night. I don't know yet, but I expect about 10 more chapters, atleast!
So be ready. Alright… Peace out guys.
P.S. The next chapter will probably have a time gap. Like ONE Week to Two weeks. Depends on the ideas I get.
