Marshall's POV

I strummed on my axe bass mindlessly, not really paying it much attention. I just kept thinking back to the incident in the graveyard with Fionna. I've never really pulled a prank that serious on her before and she did not seem to like it. I rubbed my cheek meat, which she punched mercilessly. I felt as if I should apologize properly to her because I hadn't seen her in 3 weeks. Glob I can't believe its been that long. Usually she's always poking her little bunny head in my door asking to go on some crazy adventure. I just hoped that she wasn't too mad at me, I didn't really want to face the wrath of Fionna. She's one tough little bunny.

I floated up to my bedroom to return my bass to its stand and brush my fangs. I didn't want my breath to reek when I got in close and messed with her some more. That made me think back to that night too, what were all those tears about? She never cries over anything! I guess I must mean a lot to her, which gives makes me feel damned good about myself. I don't know what I'd do without my little bunny either, not to say she's mine. Maybe she does care about me...

Fionna's POV

Marshall is such a jerk. I refuse to see him until he apologizes to my face! I can't believe the stunt he pulled, it was way out of line. He always messes with me, but that was so NOT math!

"Ugh!" I grunted as I whipped an axe through the air towards a wall of the treehouse.

"Babycakes, what's wrong?" Cake was sitting in the kitchen watching me with a sisterly look in her eyes.

"I'm just still frustrated with Marshall." I relented, knowing she would've gotten it out of me anyway.

"Ah. Honey, you can't let that vampire get to you so much! It almost makes me think that you do like him! You haven't seen him for 3 weeks and you're still thinking about him..." She moved her eyebrows up and down in a suggestive manner.

Before I could respond, I could feel myself blushing. Why was I doing that?

"Caaakkkeee. It's not like that." I said out loud, "Marshall is just one of my bros. We have algebraic adventures together and I miss them! I just keep thinking about it because I can't believe he hasn't even tried to come over at ALL!" As I yelled the last word, I chucked the axe at the wall again. This time though, I just barely missed hitting Marshall as he appeared.

"Oh Glob!" was all I could get out before he started slowly floating backwards with his hands raised in apology.

"Geez Fionna, I knew you were mad, but I didn't think you were that mad! Glob, you nearly decapitated me!" he said in his deep voice. I hadn't heard it in so long, I had almost forgotten what he sounded like.

"MARSHALL! What are you doing here?!" I yelled, still very angry at him. He had better come to apologize!

Marshall's POV

I didn't know why she was so frustrated and I hoped it wasn't still because of me because it would only make apologizing that much more difficult. Glob, I royally screwed up this time. Apologizing isn't usually my thing, but I suppose I can make an exception for my little adventuress. There I go again, calling her mine when she's not. Hmm.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Cake giving me a knowing look, like she was trying to communicate with me. I figured it was probably her way of telling me I'd better apologize and now. Usually cake doesn't look at me at all, she's still pretty scared of me. Plus, it didn't help that I kidnapped her in my little trick.

I sighed. "Fionna, can I talk to you for a minute?" I kinda wanted to talk to her alone because it was already embarrassing enough that I was even apologizing in the first place.

She looked at me with a little less anger in her eyes and a little more curiosity and maybe even a glimmer of hope. "Yeah sure Marshall. Go on ahead with it then." she simply said, obviously not getting the point that I would've liked to talk to her alone.

I gave Cake a look hoping that she'd take the hint. As much as she doesn't like me, she did and she got up and excused herself. "Babycakes, I'm gonna go over to Lord M's for a while. It looks like you guys got some talkin to do!" She gave Fionna a brief hug and left them alone in the treehouse.

I stopped floating and stepped in front of her so that she knew I meant business. "Well, Fionna, I wanted to say sorry for that trick I played on you. I really didn't mean to upset you so much. But Glob I didn't know that it would cause you to cry!"

Fionna's POV

As soon as Marshall stopped floating and landed in front of me I knew he was being serious. Plus he looked me in the eyes, which caused my cheeks to get warm. Why am I blushing? It's only Marshall Lee!

I couldn't believe that he actually apologized to me! He never says sorry for anything, he's too proud. That must mean he really cares about me!

"Glob! It took you long enough didn't it Marshall! What the math man! It's been like 3 weeks and I haven't seen you at ALL!" I turned my head down so I didn't look him in the eyes when I mumbled, "I thought we were better friends than that.."

All of a sudden Marshall's red eyes were in front of mine. I gasped a little out of surprise. Of course he would float so that he could see my facial expression. His globbing curiosity! I blushed again. I better not be making a habit out of this!

Marshall's POV

I didn't think not seeing me would effect her so much. The last little part she mumbled, thinking I couldn't hear it, I mean come on I have vampire hearing of course I heard it! That part stung. I felt like a piece of crap for making Fionna feel so bad. That was never my intention. I guess I really don't think about my actions, I just do what I do. That's how I've always been though. I'm the Vampire King and usually the only person I care about is myself. But somehow, this little bunny hat wearing girl wormed her way into my undead heart.

I began floating again so that I could see into her eyes, she was looking down and I didn't like it. I wanted to see her smile again. I noticed that she was blushing, which I thought was adorable. "Glob Fionna, you're so cute when you blush over me like that."

She instantly blushed a shade deeper and then proceeded to push me away. "Shut up Marshall! I am NOT blushing! I'm just turning red because you make me angry!"

"Whatever excuses you need to make Fi." I knew that she didn't really care for her nickname I gave her, but at least I haven't called her bunny yet. I'll have to do that soon though, I want to see her reaction.

"They aren't excuses Marshy." She grinned at me. What the hell kind of nickname is that!? Ohh she's done it now.

I grabbed her by her waist, causing her to blush again, and flew out the door and out into the night. I flew up high into the night sky, knowing full well that she's scared of heights. I felt her grip on my shoulders tighten with the increasing elevation. I have to say I like how she's holding onto me for dear life. But, I'm not sure what that means. Hmph. I'm sure it's nothing.

"Marshall Lee! What are you doing?!" Fionna yelled as we kept getting higher. We were pretty high up now, almost touching the clouds. She buried her head into my plaid shirt so she didn't have to look down.

"Now, Fi. You aren't scared of heights are you? I thought you were a brave adventuress." I gasped, chuckling a little bit. I know full well she's afraid of heights and too proud to admit it. Well, nobody gets away with calling me something like Marshy.

Fionna's POV

I didn't dare to look down. I knew we were up way too high. Ugh. I hated heights so much. I should've known that calling Marshall Marshy was a bad idea. I had to try to maintain a cool demeanor though because I don't want him to drop me or getting any crazy ideas.

"Of course I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of you dropping me!" I looked up into his red eyes and a smirk was on his face. I had to admit, in the moonlight Marshall Lee was pretty handsome. What with his dark hair, light skin, and cute little vampire fangs poking out in his smile. I blushed again because of where my thoughts were headed. I couldn't possibly like Marshall, could I? I mean it's not that far of a jump. We always hang out and have a pretty math time together.

He smiled and leaned back so that he was floating horizontally and I was on top of him. I let out a little squeal of fear as he put his hands behind his head lazily, leaving me to just lay there on top of him. I held onto his neck for dear life, terrified that I was gonna fall.

"Marshall LEE! This isn't funny! You are really going to drop me and I'm going to splatter on the ground!" I yelled looking directly into his eyes with as much seriousness and anger as I could muster.

"Fi, I wouldn't drop you. If you fall, then it'll be your fault. Just try to enjoy the view from up here. It's pretty math!" he said, nonchalantly.

I decided to just give him a death glare and look at the view. It was pretty algebraic up here. The way the stars were so bright and the moon was so big. I was actually enjoying the view and the fact that I was with Marshall made it that much better. I have to admit that I do have feelings for him, even though I didn't want to admit it.

Marshall's POV

I couldn't help it. Whenever she tried telling me that she wasn't afraid of heights, I wanted to test it out. I let her go and leaned back, definitely noticing her weight on top of my body. Not that it wasn't pleasant, it just gave me feelings that I didn't think I had for my bunny. When did I become so possessive of her? I have to admit that she is pretty cute when she's scared and holding onto me for dear life though. After I told her to enjoy the view, her grip loosened a little as she took in the view. She was looking up in wonder at the moon and the stars and she looked like she was glowing. Her skin seemed to almost reflect the moonlight and when she looked at me with her blue eyes I could swear I could see the stars twinkling in them. I guess I have to admit to myself that I might be developing feelings for this small human girl.
