A little twist on the episode where Finn meets Marceline, the story changes a lot after this btw. I'm working on rewriting all of the chapters to make them more detailed and longer so I might not post a NEW chapter for a while. R&R!

Chapter 1- Vampires Are NOT Romantic

Cake walked through the musty, old, library waiting for Fiona to give up. Fiona was yet again trying to learn something cool to impress Prince Gumball. Cake knew it wouldn't be long before she gave up though, it never was. Both Cake and Fiona find libraries annoying, they're too quiet and boring, not to mention the weird smells that seem to hang in the air of the stuffy libraries.

Cake scanned the shelves lazily with her slanted cat eyes for anything interesting, growing when she needed to step over a pile of stray books, or shrinking to slip under a toppled over bookshelf. Suddenly she came across a tattered, old, book that just happened to catch her eye. She took it off the shelf carefully, afraid that it may fall apart, and scanned through it. It was very long and she could tell it was from before the war by how it was written.

"Ooh, ROMANCE!" She said with a smile. There's nothing Cake loves more than a little romance and adventure. She ran back to the table Fiona was sitting at avoiding the piles of books that littered the floor of the old library. She skidded to a stop beside the table Fiona was sitting at, glaring down at a book on science, and shoved the romance book in her face forgetting the condition of it. "Look Fi!

"Cake!" Fiona cried angrily. "What the fluff man! I'm tryin' to read here!"

"But it's about vampires!" Cake insisted stubbornly placing one paw on her 'hip'.

"Vam-pie-urs?" Fiona asked drawing out the word, a confused look on her face. She had never heard of vampires before.

"You don't know what a vampire is?" Cake asked surprised. She thought that she had surely mentioned it at some point during one of her romance stories she would read Fiona. "Vampires are AWESOME…" she said dreamily hugging the dusty book to her belly. "So romantic…" She swooned.

"Romantic?" Fiona blinked her bright blue eyes confused. Yet another unfamiliar word, maybe she would be able to learn something today.

"Yeah girl!" Cake cried throwing her arms in the air. "They live forever and are SUPER powerful! AND they're HAWT!" She added slyly.

Fiona rolled her eyes. "Stop making things up Cake, I have to learn!"

A week later Fiona and Cake were walking home after a successful day of adventuring. They had defeated a giant, an evil elf, and a creepy old wizard, just another day in the life of the local adventurers. The sun was setting and the only noise was the gentle breeze through the trees and the pair's laughter as they reminisced about their past adventures.

"So Cake, how's Lord Machromicorn?" Fiona asked offhandedly as they neared the tree house they called home.

Cake giggled, she was always ready to talk about her boyfriend. "He's gunna' take me on vacation to the beach next week!" She gushed. "I can't wait!"

"Oh, cool…" Fiona said disappointed. She would have to be alone while Cake and Machromicorn were out having fun. She wondered if Prince Gumball would mind if she hung out with him while Cake wasn't home.

The door to the tree house creaked open when she opened it revealing an abnormally dark hallway. Cake looked around confused, cat eyes easily adjusting to the change in lighting. "Hey Fi, why are all the curtains closed?" She asked softly.

Fiona looked around the dark room and shrugged not thinking much of it. "I didn't do it." She replied calmly. "Hey BMO!" She called going into the other room which was equally dark if not more so.

"SHH!" BMO hissed from his hiding place behind the T.V. "Look!" He pointed to the couch.

Fiona narrowed her eyes struggling to see in the thick darkness. She moved closer to the black lump on her couch carefully, with cat-like grace. It couldn't be Lumpy Space Prince could it? No, not lumpy enough. But she was sure it was a someone, she just couldn't tell if she knew the someone.

Suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed Fiona's wrist firmly, it was icy cold and made Fiona try to recoil from it's grasp with a yelp. She drew her sword from her backpack, not about to go down without a fight. Cakes tail puffed out when she heard Fiona's cry. "I'm comin' Fi!" She ran in, paws padding softly on the floor, and pulled the curtains aside so Fiona could see, Cake had no problem seeing in the dark but she knew her human sister was not as gifted.

The fading light slipped in making the creature release the tiny blond, a hiss was muffled by the blankets as it quickly hid under the covers, pulling them tight around itself. "CLOSE IT!" The creature hissed but the light faded on it's own and he threw the blanket to the floor. "ARE YOU INSANE!" He cried angrily jumping to his feet, rubbing his now burnt arm.

Fiona took a step back out of surprise, her innocent blue eyes wide. It was a strange boy with choppy hair the color of a raven's wing that hung over his equally dark eyes and strange grey skin. He was scowling at the younger girl, his eyes narrowed.

"Who are you?" Fiona cried looking the boy over.

His scowl twisted into a smirk. "I'm Marshal Lee the Vampire King." He replied proudly.

"VAMPIRE?" Cake cried then looked at him with half lidded eyes. "WELL then…" she purred putting a paw on her hip.

Marshal glanced at Cake curiously, his eyebrows furrowed together. "Yeah… so… WHY are you in my house?"

"YOUR house!" Fiona glared at him. "This is me and Cakes house!" She informed him gripping the sword a little tighter.

"Yeah right!" Marshal rolled his eyes. He snapped his fingers and the picture of Fiona and Cake that was hung on the wall fell to the floor with a thud revealing the letters 'M.L.' carved deep in the wall. "See? This is MY house! Now leave." He ordered coldly, jerking his chin in the direction of the door.

"Heck no!" Fiona cried stubbornly crossing her arms over her chest.

"I thought vampires were supposed to be romantic…" Cake huffed, her eyes now narrowed.

Marshal laughed. "ROMANTIC? Is THIS romantic?" He hissed at them, his face twisting into something more animal than human to show off his fangs.

Fiona growled balling her hands up into fists, she really hated this annoying dude. If he thought that that little act was enough to scare her he was dead wrong. She grabbed some knick-knack from a nearby table and chucked it at him. It hit him in the head with a loud thud. "Ow!" He grumbled rubbing his head.

"That's what you get for being a jerk!" Fiona cried.

Marshal was irritated now; he grabbed Fiona and Cake around their waists and carried them out of the house, ignoring the threats streaming from the cocky girl's mouth and the scratches the cat was producing on his skin. They healed instantly any way. Fiona struggled to get out of Marshal's grasp but he was too strong. "Lemme' go you stupid vampire! I'm gonna' kick your butt!"

Marshall dropped them on a grassy hillside, both landed on their feet, and floated back inside. "Come back here!" Fiona cried running back to the house. She grabbed some rocks and started throwing them at the windows not thinking that it was her own house she was damaging. "Come out and face me like a MAN!"

Marshal floated to the nearest window and made a face at her. He thought she was entertaining but he was too tired to keep messing with her so he floated back to the couch and went back to sleep.

"FI!" Cake pulled on her friend's arm. "Vampires are like SUPER powerful, remember? We can't fight him! Lets go get back up or something! I'm sure Machromicorn will help! Oh, and Gumball! Gumball will help us with his science!"

"Yeah…" Fiona grumbled glaring at the now empty window. "Lets go," they turned and ran towards the candy kingdom.

Finally Fiona and Cake arrived at the grand Candy Kingdom. They raced to the huge castle and banged on the tall doors. "Gumball! It's me, Fiona!" Fi cried desperately.

Peppermint Maid opened the door and smiled up at them. "Hello, is there a problem Fiona? The Prince is asleep you know." She informed them although she could see they both were very upset.

"I'm sorry Peppermint Maid, this vampire guy is in our house and stuff so we need the Prince's help!" Fi cried.

"Oh my!" Peppermint Maid opened the door wider so the two adventurers could come in. "I'll go get the Prince right away!" She hurried off in the direction of the young prince's room.

"I hope he won't mind us showing up like this…" Fiona mumbled pulling on her shirt nervously while her tan cheeks flushed pink.

"Nah!" Cake replied with a wave of her paw. "He won't care!"

Prince Gumball came in wearing his pink pajama bottoms and a baggy black shirt with a strange design on it that made Fiona frown as she studied it. It was dark, not something he would usually wear. "Fiona! Cake! What is this VAMPIRE business Peppermint Maid was telling me about?" Gumball asked, concern obvious on his face.

"This crazy vampire dude showed up at our house saying it's his!" Fiona cried, forgetting Gumball's strange pajamas. "He kicked us out and everything!"

"Vampire dude…" Gumball said softly, a hand instinctively curling around the hem of his shirt.

"Yeah! He said his name was Marshal or something." Cake explained not noticing Gumball's odd reaction. "I can't believe I thought vampires were ROMANTIC…" She grumbled to herself, looking away.

"Marshal Lee?" Prince Gumball clenched his fist, narrowing his bright eyes and scowling, surprising both of them. "HE is the one tormenting you?"

Fiona and Cake glanced at each other nervously before looking back to Gumball. "Uh, yeah, Marshal Lee the Vampire King." Fiona said slowly. "Do you know him or something?"

"Sadly…" Gumball sighed, relaxing once more. "He is an… an old acquaintance." He explained, tugging on the collar of his shirt uncomfortably.

"Really?" Cake asked surprised. Fiona gave her a look to tell her to back off.

Gumball smiled wistfully. "Yes Cake, but that's not important. He's actually very easy to get rid of, all you have to do is open the windows while the sun is up and he should leave. You are both welcome to spend the night here though." He offered.

Fiona smiled nervously, her pale cheeks turned bright red. "Gee… thanks." She mumbled. "That's really nice of you Gumball."

"It's my pleasure!" He replied smiling. "Peppermint Maid, please take them to their rooms."

With that Peppermint guided them up the stairs to a beautiful room with a big, comfy bed made from some type of cake. Fiona threw her bag in the corner and plopped down on the bed with a heavy sigh.

Cake yawned curling up on the other side of the bed. "Good night Fi," she purred and was asleep instantly.

Fiona lay on her back staring up at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep with so many thoughts swirling around in her head, tormenting her. How did Gumball know that stupid vampire? She wanted the stupid jerk out of her house! She wanted to kill him!

At least Gumball was helping them. Thinking of him made butterflies come to life in her stomach.

Finally she drifted off but instead of dreaming of Gumball, she dreamt of Marshal Lee.
