When I had met Marshall Lee, the last thing I had expected was for him to be mute. And a mute vampire at that. To talk, he used gestures and often wrote on a piece of paper. According to him, he was "Vampire King" and the best off all in the land. I didn't doubt that, considering he was the only vampire I know. But just the fact that he was so modest about it, kept me confident that what he stated, was true.

"You've gotta admit. The color red is pretty amazing. It tastes great too" Marshall wrote, holding out a flimsy piece of notebook paper towards me.

I only nodded in agreement. Not really paying attention to what he had to say, for the moment. I didn't really have much to say. Cake and I have been really busy dealing with the Ice Queen and her odd and mischievous plots to get one of the Prince's. It was ridiculous. Honestly, you'd think that the woman would take a hint and beat it! But she was persistent. And annoying. She was persistently annoying.

The one guy she wanted more than any was Prince Gumball. And that was more than obvious. She had kidnapped him more than I could count. Prince Gumball was the Prince of the Land Of Ooo and was always busy dealing with science stuff, and being a prince. He didn't have time to watch his back from a creepy old lady twenty-four seven, so, he relied on me to do so. Which I did without a problem.

Cake has hinted many times that Prince Gumball had feelings for me. But I doubt it. Why would a guy like him like someone like me? It was ridiculous.

Suddenly, something hard hit against my head. I looked towards my assailant and growled in frustration. "What was that for?" scowling, I turned my attention towards Marshall. For he had thrown a crumbled piece of paper at me. It didn't hurt, but the fact that he did it angered me.

"Something seems to be on your mind. Anything wrong?" he scribbled, holding out another piece of notebook paper.

"Not really... work has been tiring I guess..." I answered, sighing in slight frustration. It was true. Saving creatures from trouble and completing quests took a lot of energy from me. Especially because I've had so many consecutively. It was non-stop. However, I don't regret my decision to become an adventurer. That choice was probably the best one I had ever made. I loved it with a passion, and I know I was destined to do this. It was just the fact that I had no breaks which bothered me. But, it was more than a job. It was an obligation. And my duty to help those in need.

When I looked over towards Marshall, he nodded in agreement and floated past me. Holding an umbrella in his hand. There wasn't a need for questioning this though. He was a vampire, therefore, couldn't touch sunlight. He could be killed if that happened.

"Well... I've got trouble to make. Don't miss me too much while I'm gone" he wrote and winked at me before turning into a bat a flying off in an unknown direction.

Marshall Lee was my best friend. And I always went to him for advice. Why? Well, he always knew what to say (or write.. whatever) and being with him made me feel great about myself. Sometimes, he brought fluttering butterflies to my stomach. While other times, he made me want to throw him into the sun, stuff his mouth with garlic and poke him with wooden stakes. He was a great guy, and I felt a connection with him. But, he was a vampire. Vampire King to be exact. And it was obvious that any type of relationship wouldn't be possible.

"Wait? What? Relationship? Where did that come from ?" I asked to no one. Completely in surprise.

"Relationship? Ooh, Fionna, I told you Gumball wants you!" A female voice said from behind. I immediately recognized this to be Cake.

"Cake! The Prince does not want anything romantic with me!" blush creeped up my face, and my cheeks felt hot. Oh glob.

The cat rolled her eyes with a smirk. "Whatever~! Now, we have to report to the castle. Gumball wants to give us a quest" she then stretched her limbs and I sat on her back as we made our way to the castle.

"– And that's why you have to help me with this. Please, Fionna! I'm begging!" The Price was on his knees, holding my hand as he pleaded me to do the quest for him. Now, I was not the kind of person to refuse a quest but his was just terrible.

"No, Gumball! I'm not going to dress up like a dude, and seduce Ice Queen just so you could continue experimenting..." I pouted slightly. I hated the Ice Queen. With a burning passion. Just about all of Ooo knew that. Getting near her disgusted me. The feeling was mutual.

The pink-haired Prince then stood, and held me close to him. His arms wrapped around my waist as he held me. "Please... This is all I'm asking for.. at least for now.." he said in my ear, his breath hovering over my neck. I had never been this close to him before, and I blushed madly. He smelled just like bubblegum. Sweet and intoxicating. "I promise, I'll make it up to you later.. This experiment I'll be doing is very important. The last thing I need is Ice Queen ruining everything... So, please. Just agree to do this?" He released his hold on me and stepped back. Determination on his features.

Sighing, I nodded. After that, how could I have not accepted? "And what will I get in return for doing this?"

"Well... That I'm not sure of juuust yet..."

I sighed again. "It better be totally math!" I poked my index finger in his chest in a demanding way.

"Yes, Fi, it will be very mathematical" he chuckled.

"Right.. Well, I'll go and do that request now. To get it over with. See you!" I called before walking off and out of the castle. Cake giggled by my side.

"I saw that.. I told he. He has the hots for you." her paw nudged at my arm as she went on about my non-existent relationship. The only thing I could do was blush.

"He does not!" more blush was on my face. "He was just trying to convince me to do the quest for him! That's all!"

"It seemed like more to me.." the cat said, giggling more. It was more than obvious that she had some sick enjoyment from bothering me about this.

"W-whatever.." I grumbled and crossed my arms. "Let's just leave it..."

Cake noticed my discomfort and nodded. "Yeah, we'll leave it.. for now... Or until you begin agreeing with me."

I groaned in defeat and frustration. She was just not going to let this go...

Alright, well, this is my first Adventure Time fic so please be nice. Tell me what you think, please? ^-^
