hi guys :) last chapter i'm ever going to update for this story :( but don't worry the rewrite's coming :D

MARSHALL'S POV
So then, after everything, I took Marceline out into the forest and into the garden she told me about before. I held her hand in mine, and my heart was beating faster than it ever was. When we reached the garden, she smiled and asked me what we were doing there.

I smiled and said, "I just wanted to tell you something."

"what?" she asked. my brain scattered, and I was afraid to tell her anything, so I just told her something I already told her before.

"um, you look gorgeous, Marcy," I said. what? Ugh, I'm such a dweeb.

She smiled and said, "you don't look that bad yourself. So why'd you bring me out here, Marshall?"

"I don't know," I blurted out. she laughed, and took a step closer to me. "I guess I just wanted to get away from all the noise," I lied.

"really now?" she asked like she knew the truth.

'what's going to happen when we go back to school?" I asked.

"I don't know, I guess I eat lunch with you guys, and talk to you guys twenty-four-seven… why? What's wrong?"

"nothing, it just… it seems more fun here, just hanging out with everyone."

"marsh? Is there something you're not telling me?" she asked. her eyes and tone showed concern.

"nothing it's just that, uh, how do I say this, um," I stuttered. She held my hand, and with all the courage I had left, I kissed her. I put the hand she wasn't holding behind her neck. And, I don't know, we were just there.

When I pulled away, my heart was pounding, and I said, "I guess that's all I wanted to tell you…"

Marceline put her arms around my neck and rest her head on my chest. "I hope we could stay here longer," she said. I looked at her and she looked at me. I placed my hands on her waist, and we swayed there like we were dancing. I kissed her again, this time with more affection I guess. I don't know, I suck at emotion, but Marceline sucks at it too, so I'm fine with that. We'd suck at romance together, and make the most awkward couple of all time. We stayed in the garden for a few minutes; talking, dancing, laughing.

"I love you, Marcy," I said lovingly. She smiled at me and said she loved me too; but I think we all know that she only meant she loved me as a friend. If only I could tell her, if only I wasn't afraid of being shot down… oh well, I guess there's always another time to tell her.

MARCELINE'S POV
Marshall brought me here to the garden, and here we are just talking and laughing with each other.

"I love you, Marcy," he said. I looked at him; my heart was pounding in my chest. I thought my heart was just going to jump out of my chest.

"I love you too, marsh," I said. I know he only likes me as a friend. And I guess a part of me's fine with that. But another half just wants to tell him I love him, maybe as something more than a friend. But, let's face it, Marshall would never be in love with me. I mean, there are like a bazillion girls chasing him; why'd he even bother to like me? i guess we'll just always be just friends; nothing more, nothing less, just friends.

We walked back to the party, and Alex and the guys ran up to us screaming about something. Turns out we'll be staying for another week! Well, let's just hope I can tell Marshall by the time we go back… please, glob, please let him like me back.
