Title: Fatal Attraction

Summary: Marshall Lee the Vampire King kicks Fionna and Cake out of their house, claiming it as his own property, forcing them to either find a new home or face him to get their old one back.

It was a rainy night in Aaa. In the treehouse, Cake was telling Fionna a scary story.

"...then the vampire cracked their skulls right open!" Cake said.

"No way," Fionna replied.

"That's nothing," Cake continued. "He even vaporized their blood until they were dead as doornails."

"Are you making this up?" Fionna asked.

"It came from a reliable source," Cake insisted. "I even heard that the vampire haunts this very treehouse. Well, night." Then the cat went downstairs.

Fionna sighed as she took off her usual clothes and put on her somewhat revealing dark red nightgown. Then she took off her rabbit-eared hat, letting her unkempt blonde hair hang down to her waist. She tried to get some sleep, but she was still thinking about Cake's vampire story.

Suddenly, Fionna heard voices coming from downstairs. She instantly recognized where they were coming from. "Why's Cake watching Sym-Bionic Titan this late at night?" she thought as she headed for the staircase.

When Fionna walked in the living room, she noticed Cake WASN'T watching TV.

"Are you okay?" Cake asked.

"Sort of," Fionna admitted. "I heard voices, so I thought you were watching Sym-Bionic Titan."

"Where did you get that idea from?" Cake asked.

As if on cue, the lights went out. Then a young boy appeared on the ceiling. Fionna and Cake backed up towards the couch, but the boy reappeared between them.

"Hey ladies," the boy said. "What's up?"

Fionna gasped. "Who are you?" she asked, wondering why his voice sounded exactly like the male lead from Sym-Bionic Titan.

"I'm Marshall Lee, the Vampire King," he replied. "You scared?"

Fionna slowly shook her head. Cake, however, was terrified. "Please don't suck our blood!" the cat hollered.

Marshall Lee chuckled. "I'm not gonna do that," he said, then he snapped his fingers, causing several lit candles to appear.

"Hold on a minute," Fionna told Marshall Lee. "What kind of vampire doesn't suck blood?"

"I often to that," Marshall Lee explained. "But I'm the kind of vampire who sucks the color red."

"So what brings you here?" Fionna asked.

"I'm taking a break from traveling throughout Aaa," Marshall Lee said. "I fought a school of goldfish beasts, fooled around in the Fire Kingdom, and found walnuts containing tiny creatures."

"You're a cool person, Marshall Lee," Fionna said.

"Yeah," Cake agreed, still a bit nervous. "Thanks for not sucking our blood."

"No problem," Marshall Lee replied. "Now can you both leave?"

"Why would we do that?" Fionna asked.

Marshall Lee then revealed an 'M.L.' carved on a wall. "I carved my initials in this tree years ago," he explained. "But thanks for taking care of the place while I was gone."

Sure enough, Fionna and Cake ended up outside in the rain.

"Come on Fionna," Cake said. "We should get out of here right now. Vampires are good at killing people."

"But what about our house?" Fionna asked.

"We should find a new one," Cake suggested. "I don't want you to get killed by that creepy vampire boy."

So Fionna and Cake,
Set out to find a new home.
It's gonna be tough,
For a kid and a cat on their own.

Here's a little house,
Aw, Fionna's stickin' her foot in.
Well, that's a bad idea dudette,
Cause now that bird thinks you're a jerk, Fionna!

And now they're chillin' on the side of a hill,
And thinkin' livin' in a cloud would be totally thrillin'
Unless they find something inside,
Like a mean cloud man and his beautiful cloud bride.

A beehive, oh nooo-ooo-ooo!
Don't put your foot in there, girl!
Y'all tried that before,
And you know it didn't turn out right!

Big shell, go inside
Look around, it seems alright.
Frog jumps out!
Barfs a tiger!
Throwin' down potions for food and fiiiiiiiiire!

You know you should have stayed,
And fought that sexy vampire boy.
But Cake was feeling terrified,
She was super scared of his vampire bite.

Which is understandable
'Cause vampires are really powerful
They're un-rea-son-able,
And burnt out on dealing with mortals.

Oh, Marshall Lee,
Why are you so mean?

Marshall Lee: I'm not mean,
I'm one thousand years old,
And I just lost track of my moral code.

Oh Marshall Lee,
Can't you see these girls are in pain?

Marshall Lee: No I can't, (pause)
I'm invested in this very cute video game.

So there go our girls,
Walkin' on the icy ground.
Headin' towards their destiny,
I'm sure they'll figure something out.

"This stinks!" Fionna complained after an encounter with Ice Queen. "Can we just get back to our own home?"

"Fionna, let me tell you what the definition of 'home' is," Cake said as she took out her dulcimer.

Cake: Home isn't a place; let me give you a clue
Home is anywhere where people care about you

"I don't want to hear a lecture, Cake," Fionna interrupted. "I just want to go home."

Cake: But home is where your heart is, Fionna
And where's your heart Fionna?
Well it's right there inside you
While I'm sitting right here beside you
With your lucky stars to guide you from above.

Fionna: *giggles* I guess I'd rather be out here
Wrapped in your ear.
Than be in some awesome house
All by my...souse.

"I'd rather be dancing with some hunks," Cake said.

Soon, Fionna and Cake came across an old cave.

"This place actually looks nice," Fionna said. "Do you want to life here?"

"Sounds good to me," Cake replied.

After a few minutes, Fionna and Cake finished building a house.

"I can't believe things worked out well," Cake said.

Fionna nodded in agreement. "Usually around this part of the story, something bad happens."

As if on cue, Marshall Lee arrived. "What are you doing here?" Fionna asked.

"This cave happens to be my vacation home," Marshall Lee explained as he revealed his initials carved on a rock.

"Maybe we should get out of here..." Cake said, her tail twitching crazily.

However, Fionna wasn't thinking the same thing. "Cake and I didn't know this was also your home," the 13-year-old girl told Marshall Lee. "And I don't want to fight you so I can get the treehouse back. You can actually keep it. I'll be find with Cake out in the open."

"Wow," Marshall Lee told Fionna. "You're not even scared of me?"

Fionna shrugged. "I've seen worse things before."

"You know what," Marshall Lee said. "You and your feline friend can keep the treehouse. Think of it as a gift from me. And who knows? Maybe I'll see you again."

"Thanks," Fionna said as she blushed.

Back in the treehouse, Fionna was back in her usual outfit, including her rabbit-eared hat. "That Vampire King seems nice," she said.

"I hope I don't see him again," Cake said. "He still gives me the creeps. Weren't you scared one bit?"

"No," Fionna admitted. "Why would I be scared of a new friend?"
