Hi guys! Ok, so first of all I really want to apologise that this chapter is so short. I didn't intend for it to be so short but that's what happened. Also, in response to a review, sorry that I haven't let Marshall's demon side come out a bit more, and I'll just tell you now; this is not the chapter where it is going to come out. I'm not meaning to turn Marshall into a soppy character, but this is a romance story, and come on, he is in love. But hopefully his demon side will come out soon ;)
Marshall
I flew home, silently celebrating all the way. As soon as I got to my house, I went inside, put away my guitar in the corner of my room, and came downstairs.
"Yes!" I flew a loop-de-loop. "She wants to see me again!" Ok, ok, I know we only just met, but there was just something about her…she was just so…wow…
I grabbed a stack of paper and a pencil, and wrote down the lyrics to a new song. It was a lot soppier than the stuff I usually wrote, but hey, I just write what I feel, and I was feeling a lot of soppy stuff.
I flew up to my room, carrying the new lyrics, and grabbed my guitar. I switched on my recording microphone, and started playing. I wanted to listen to it later to find out what sounded best. This song had to be perfect. It was for Fionna…if I ever got the guts to sing it to her.

I hardly noticed the walk to the treehouse, my mind was so preoccupied. Marshall Lee had said that he would meet me tomorrow. But that doesn't mean anything. I told myself. He was probably just being friendly.
I opened the door, and climbed the ladder into the living room/dining room/kitchen. Cake, a small, plump calico, was at the stove cooking something. She glanced over her shoulder, and saw me come in.
"Hey, babycakes," Only Cake could call me babycakes. "How was the party?" She raised her eyebrows, and the real message was clear; how did it go with Gumball.
"Not too good," I let out a sigh as I flopped onto the couch. "There was this new guy there, Marshall Lee, and he was pretty cool, but he went onto the stage to play guitar and Gumball totally flipped out and banished him from the party."
"Ok…but how was the party for you?"
"Well, uh, the thing is, I was kinda on the stage with him, so I followed him, and, I'm, um, meeting him tomorrow."
"Hmm," Cake said, slurping some sauce off a wooden spoon. "So, what is this Marshall fellow?"
"Um…he's a vampire?" Cake spat out the sauce in surprise, and turned, pointing her spoon at me.
"So do you mean to tell me that my little sugar lump has fallen in love with a nasty, bloodsucking vampire?" My cheeks flamed.
"Cake, what the plum are you talking about? I'm not in love with Marshall that's just…weird."
"Oh, boy, you really have fallen for him, haven't you?"
"No way, Cake, you're just being weird." I walked up onto the third floor of the treehouse, and into the bathroom. I scrubbed off the makeup, and brushed my teeth. I went into my bedroom and changed into my pyjamas. I turned off the light and got into bed. I rolled onto my side.
"Marshall Lee," I whispered. "I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
So, yeah, again sorry for making it so short. I'm hoping to make the next chapter a bit longer. Anyways, 2x out!
