Some time had passed since the party. Marshall had tried to reschedule his movie night with Fi but she seemed to always be with Asshat.
"Sorry, Marsh I can't this weekend. Bubba invited me to some ball."
"Sorry, tonight I have to have tea with Bubba and Lady Lemondrop."
"Sorry, I-"
Sorry
Sorry
Sorry
Weeks it had been weeks and Marshall was getting blown off by his best friend all because she was dating someone. He knows it won't be the last time he asks her to hand out so he calls her again.
"Hey Marsh." Fionna picked up the phone she sounded kinda off to him.
"Hey Bun everything ok?" He was gripping his phone a little more than usual.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a little sick no biggie."
"You're sick?"
"Yeah just a cold I'll be fine."
"You want me to bring you something? I can come over and help."
"That's sweet Marsh but really I'm fine."
"But what if something happens? You know Cake moved in with her boyfriend."
"Yeah I know but really I can take care of myself."
"I know you can Bunny but people tend to get better faster when they have help."
"Marsh it's not a big deal."
"Look Fi you're sick, I'm worried at least let me help for my sake."
He heard her sigh in defeat as she relented to him.
"Ok I'll see you in a few I can bring a movie if you want?"
"Ok but nothing too loud and no jump scares."
"Fair enough see you soon Fi." As soon as he hung up the phone he grabbed everything he could that a sick friend would need. He even went the extra mile and got some chicken noodle soup.
By the time he got to her house, it was sundown. He floated to her window and let himself in.
"Hey sick girl." He said as he entered with his bag of soup and other things.
Fionna was laying in her bed surrounded by pillows with at least three large blankets on top.
"Hey vampire, what's all that?"
"Just some stuff I got just in case. Like soup meds heating packs-"
"And you just had that all laying around your house?"
"I went to the store for the soup. It's chicken noodle."
"Ah the best for sick days."
"Yeah" He made his way to her bed and sat beside her.
"Marsh I don't want to get you sick."
"You won't. Don't worry." He put his hand to her head, "Well you definitely have a fever."
"I know Gumball won't come near me."
Marshall rolled his eyes, "Wow, what a guy..."
"You know it's kinda weird."
"What?"
"You know how he was all affectionate at the party?" Marshall nodded his head turning away from her so she couldn't see his disgusted look, "Yeah he hasn't done anything since then."
"What do you mean?"
"Well he hasn't kissed me in any way not even on the hand. He didn't make an effort to make sure I met everyone. It's just weird."
Of course, he acted like that just to get under my skin Marshall thought to himself.
"Yeah that is not good boyfriend behavior." Marshall was gripping her blankets.
"Yeah I know. I wonder what's up with him." Marshall felt worse hearing her talking about Gumwad like that.
"Let's not worry about the Candy Boy tonight." He walked over to BMO and handed him the VHS, "Tonight we are going to have a chill night and watch some Disney."
Fionna smiled, "Oh yay! Which one?"
"Have you ever heard of Treasure Planet?"
"No?"
"I think you'll like it. It's got adventure, an amazing cast, and absolutely beautiful music." He walked back to her with BMO in his hand and joined her on the bed.
"Sounds good."
They were at the part where Jim and his family escape the Inn.
"Oh no! Not the Inn!" Cried a stuffy Fionna.
"Don't worry the Inn get's rebuilt. Just wait till you meet the Captain."
"Oh are they good?"
"They are purrfect." He quietly laughed to himself.
A few minutes later Jim and Doppler were touring the ship and ran into the rock officer. Marshall was very excited.
"Oh is that the Captain?"
The movie answered, "The Captain's aloft." Then Captain Amelia comes in flipping off of masts and lands perfectly.
"Mr. Arrow, I've checked this miserable ship from stem to stern and as usual... it's spot-on can you get nothing wrong?"
"Oh I like her."
"Same, she's so cool."
A bit later in the movie a song starts playing.
"Fi warning I love this song."
"Marshy at this point I know you're going to sing no matter what," She smiled, "Just sing a little softer tonight."
"Alright," He felt her move closer to him and lay on his chest. She did this a lot if he was singing.
"I am a question to the world, not an answer to be heard or a moment that's held in your arms." He softly sang as the watch the movie squeezing her lightly.
He continued singing the entire song and at the end Fionna had a comment.
"That was nice Marshy, also I love how they did the flashbacks for the song and how Cyborg and Jim are bonding."
"Yeah but," He reached over for the tissues, "Get ready."
"Oh right...this is Disney...Please tell me who."
"Nope you're gonna have to be in shock like I was."
The Star then went Super Nova and the crew started running around doing everything they were told but then,
Mr. Scroop was on the scene. And Mr. Arrow was falling.
"No. NO REALY?!"
His line was caught and then snipped.
"WHY DISNEY!"
"Mr. Arrow was a...fine spacer." Now Marshall was holding Fionna and giving her extra tissues.
"Shush Fi it's gonna be ok." He rubbed her arm to reassure her.
"I know it's still so sad!"
"If it makes you feel better Mr. Scroop gets what he deserves."
"GOOD!"
They continued watching the movie. She liked Ben and thought it was cute that the Captian and the Doctor got together. She really liked how fitting Mr. Scroop's death was.
"Oh yay! Jim is with the police dudes now, AND he cut off that dumb rat tail thing!"
"Yeah I don't know why they gave him that but you liked the movie?"
She nodded, "Yeah it was great. I wouldn't say the level of Lion King but still really good!"
"It's hard to beat Lion King for sure," He looked outside and saw it was pitch black.
"Fi it's getting late and I know you're tired so-"
"No don't move. I'm really comfy can you just stay till I fall asleep?"
He hummed and patted her head.
"Can you sing me a song?"
"What would you like?"
"Got any new ones?"
"Yeah but I'm still writing it."
"Could you hum the melody?"
He began to hum softly. He thought of the lyrics in his head.
I don't know what to do without you. I don't know where to put my hands...
The more he hummed the heavier his chest got. Eventually he had a drooling, sick, and sleeping Fionna on his chest. And instead of thinking gross or something closer to that he thought, I am in more trouble than I thought...
