I was overjoyed at the responses to my other story " The reason why". You people rock hard :D

This Story takes place right after Fionna's speech to Gumball in the new episode( Before Ice King ruined my daydream)

Disclaimer: Even thought i don't own Adventure Time, I strongly urge the creators to make more Fionna and Cake episodes ( with some serious Marshall Lee x Fionna moments HINT HINT HINT HINT)

" So, Your not interested in guys?" Prince Gumball asked, thick headed as ever.

Fionna's face grew red and she scowled.

" That's not what I said! I meant that I'm not looking for the love of my life right now. I'm. . . going to go home" The adventuress turned, grabbing the scrapes of her dress and leaving the room.

Down stairs, a certain vampire king was looking for his favorite human. Spotting a fleeting view of golden hair leave the main door, he quickly flew toward her.

" Fionna?" Marshall lee said, his voice questioning. Said girl froze in place, but didn't turn around.

" What the math happened to your dress?" He asked.

Fionna blushed, suddenly feeling embarrassed about her clothing.

" Oh, well it started when Gumball and I went out on a date. ."

" Whoa, you went out with Pink Boy?" The king asked, something that sounded suspiciously like jealousy seeping into his voice.

" Yeah. No. See it wasn't him it was the Ice Queen and . . ."

" Oh. So you prefer girls?" Marshall said, looking disappointed.

By this time, Fionna was tired, emotionally and physically, and she was not going to put up with this.

" Stop interrupting Marshall Lee!" she yelled, slamming her hands over the vampires mouth.

Silence overtook them.

Fionna was breathing heavily and was pleasantly surprised at the feel of Marshall's cool lips against her hot palm.

Marshall was in shock at the adventuress' outburst, but was even more shocked at the tingles that were shooting up his spine at the contact of her skin against his mouth. It took every ounce of self control her had not to kiss her hand, then her elbow, next her neck, then move downward towards her. . .

" Ahem" Fionna shook him out of his thoughts.

" I was trying to tell you, the Ice Queen pretended to be Gumball so she could get me alone and try to kill me, but I stopped her."

Marshall nodded, then slowly peeled her hand from his mouth.

They stood in an awkward silence. Marshall Lee kicked around small pebbles with his foot, hands stuffed in his ripped, faded jeans. Fionna busied herself with twirling her hair.

" You want me to fly you back home?" He offered, breaking the quiet.

Fionna blushed, then shook her head.

" Nah, I'll be- whoa!"

Before she had time to finish her sentence, she was whisked up high up into the air.

The flight was spent enjoying the spectacular view and each others company. Soon they were at the tree house.

Marshall put Fionna down gently on her feet, at which point she sat down on the edge of the platform that was her front porch. Not sure if he was invited to stay, he just stared at her. Eventually she looked up, bright blue meeting dark red. She smiled, patting the space next to her. He quickly sat down.

" Something is bothering you, so what is it?" The blond said, her voice a bit weary from the excitement of the day.

" . . . Why did you agree to go with the fake Gumball to the ball?"

Fionna turned to him, not expecting that question.

" I guess we had such a fun time on our date," she said date with air quotations and a roll of her eyes, " that I just wanted to enjoy myself more."

The pale teenager nodded, seemingly thinking.

Just when Fionna thought that the conversation was over. . .

"What did you guys do on your *ahem* date"

The adventuress blushed.

" I don't know. Race, flew on Lord Monochromicorn, sang" she explained.

Marshall Lee's eyes widened, a disbelieving look on his face.

" You sang? Like, there was instruments and lyrics that made sense and everything?" he asked.

Fionna's face began to look like a tomato, and Marshall Lee was starting to wish he could eat that delicious color from her face. He began to smirk at the idea that popped into his head. He reached out his arms and pulled the blushing girl into his lap.

" If I knew music was the key to getting you out on a date, I could have sung to you ages ago" he whispered into her neck.

This really threw the girl off guard.

" Y-you want to go out with m-me?" she stammered.

" Well, yeah. Duh. Your awesome and pretty and I. . . like you" he explained.

Fionna smiled.

" I'm not looking for love. I don't need anyone to make me feel loved." she said.

Marshall smiled.

" I'm not proposing Fionna. I'm not asking you to runaway and have 10 kids and a house with me. I'm asking you out. And maybe, if things go well, I'm asking you to be my girlfriend. I know you enjoy your independence. So do I." He replied, rubbing his cold cheek against her warm one.

" I don't know. . . " she hesitated.

In an effort to convince her, Marshall slowly slid his lips over her own, giving her a passionate kiss. Fionna responded slowly, her own inexperience showing. Soon, she needed to breath, so she parted from the undead king.

" I. . . guess one date wouldn't hurt." she said softly, sleep slowly claiming her.

Marshall smiled.

" Ok. I'll see you soon. Sleep tight my little adventuress" he said, carrying her inside, and to her bed. Placing a goodbye kiss to her forehead, he slowly slipped away, looking back with a smile before melting into the night.

I always appreciate reviews, and welcome you to read my other stories if you wish. Also, I understand that Fionna's whole speech was about how girls don't need to be with a guy to be happy, and I say ' You go girl!' to that. I just really love this pairing, so i made her make an exception.
