"Hey Gumball!" Fionna called out as she entered the Candy Kingdom's castle with Marshall. Gumball was busy decorating cupcakes in the throne room, and when he heard Fionna's voice, he smiled, and turned to greet her.


"Fionna! I'm so glad you--- Oh.... You brought him." Gumball said, giving a look to Marshall, that said the Vampire was unwelcome.


"Hey Gummy-goose." Marshall said, laughing a bit.


".... Anyways." Gumball let the nickname slide, and he walked over to Fionna, smiling. "I got a call from the village. Thank you so much for saving it!"


"But Gumball, I didn't save it. Marshall did. All I did was kick some reptile butt!" Fionna said, grinning brightly. Marshall let out a sigh, and ran his hand through his hair, before fixing his hat.


"... Fionna, it's not good to lie." Gumball said, eyeing Marshall. "I know he couldn't do anything good."


"But he did!" Fionna said, making a sour face. "He killed this demon thing from the NightOsphere! It was the real bad guy who was terrorizing that village."


"... Demon?" Gumball asked, but Marshall floated past the prince, and over to the table decorated with cupcakes. The vampire stuck his finger in the pink icing, and drained the pink from it. "Hey! Don't do that to the icing! Go suck red from something else!" Gumball said, walking over to the bowl, and snatching it off the table, away from the hungry vampire.


"Hmph, Why make cupcakes, if you don't want people to eat them...?" The vampire questioned the prince, as he floated above his head. "Not very nice, of the Sugar Prince."


"You two, stop bickering." Fionna told the both of them, and they both looked over at her. "I want you two to both be nice to each other, otherwise, I'm not going to hang out with either of you anymore. I'll go find new buds, to be buds with."


"But Fionna! He's the rude one who just does what he wants!" Gumball said, pointing at Marshall. "And calls people names, and steals red out of stuff! He's bad news, and you shouldn't be hanging around him!"


"Gumball!" Fionna said, shocked at the Prince's attitude and she put her hands on her hips. "The only one being rude is you. He saved that village, whether you believe it or not."


"What? I...!" Gumball stood straight, and looked at the Vampire, who was smirking. The pink prince certainly had dug his own grave. "Augh! Fine." The prince sighed, and put the bowl of icing down. "... I made these for Fionna, for a job well done. But I guess you can have them."


"Your Majesty, you humble me," The Vampire said sarcastically, as he he picked a cupcake up off the table, and sunk his fangs into it, draining the color. "Hmm, pretty good, Gumbo."


"..... Thanks." The prince said stiffly, he didn't want to make Fionna angry.


"That's much better." Fionna said triumphantly, as the boys continued to be civil with each other. She had defeated a giant lizard, a demon, and made these two be civil to each other.


All in all, it was a good day in her books.


"Here Fionna," Marshall said, floating over to her, and handing her a white cupcake he had drained. "No sense in just throwing it out."


"Thanks!" Fionna said happily, as she took the cupcake, and unwrapped it. She took a bite of the sweet treat, and beamed happily. "This is fantastic, Gumball!"


"Thanks." The Prince said, smiling at her. "It should bring you happy dreams tonight. Should." The prince said, and ate one of the cupcakes himself.


"... Well what if you're wrong?" Marshall asked, raising an eyebrow at the prince.


"... Well it's either that, or...." The prince looked at Fionna, as she yawned, and fell over onto the ground. "... Put you to sleep...."


The prince yawned himself, and rubbed his eye, before he to fell over, out cold.


"... Hey now." Marshall said, looking at the both of them. ".... this could be fun."


Fionna was standing on a grassy hill, the wind was blowing her long blonde hair, and she touched her head, searching for her bunny hat. Instead, she felt a pair of ears on top of her head. She blinked in confusion, and looked around, to see a mirror behind her.


"Oh.... OOOH!" She had bunny ears on top of her head, REAL bunny ears! She grabbed at them, and tugged them down around her face. Her clothes hadn't changed though, she was grateful for that... it was just her head. "... How did I end up like this? and out here?" She questioned, and looked around. "... I could have sworn I was in Gumball's castle...."


"Hey, sweet Bunny girl!" a cool voice called out to her, and Marshall floated over top of her. He was in a t-shirt and jean's, his hands dug in his pockets, and his bass on his back. "Whats my pretty girl doing out here? we're supposed to be at Gumballs, jamming."


"MARSHALL!" Fionna cried out in surprise, and she pulled him down, and hovered over him, casting her shadow on him. The vampire blinked in confusion, "Where's your sweater?! your umbrella?! You'll die in the sun!"


"Haha! don't be silly, Fi!" the Vampire laughed, and he sat up, looking her in the eyes, his face only inches from hers. The sun was touching his skin, but he wasn't burning. "What are you talking about? I'm always in the sun."


The Vampire hugged her close, and floated up into the sky with her. "Come on, let's get to Gumballs, we're late!" He said, and let her go, before he flew off.


Fionna hovered there in the air, and blinked in confusion. she should have been flat on the ground by now. She watched Marshall float in circles, waiting for her, and she smiled, as she flew after him.


"Haha! This is great!" She said excitedly, as she flew next to Marshall. She flew upwards, and did a flip in the air. "HAHA!"


"Hey, no horsing around, lets go!" Marshall called out to her, and she followed him. The two of them landed on the balcony of the castle, and walked inside. "Hey Gumball! We're here!"


"At last!" Gumball said happily, and walked into the room. He was wearing a black rock t-shirt, with an obscure band on it, Fionna didn't recognize. "Hey buddy!"


The two boys bumped fists with each other, and Fionna's jaw dropped at the sight of them being... buddies. They were smiling and talking about music and baking and junk. Fionna felt excluded, not having to intervene to get them to stop arguing.


"Come on, let's start!" Marshall said, as he strummed his bass. Gumball clapped his hands, and pulled out a keyboard from behind his throne. he played a few keys, and soon the boys were jamming together, making proper music, music that flowed together so well. Fionna shifted on her feet awkwardly, not sure what to do with herself.


"Fionna, hey. Let out that beautiful voice of yours." Marshall told her, as he floated near her. "Sing for us, we love to hear you sing."


"Oh uhm...." Fionna let go of her bag's straps, and tapped her foot to a beat that went with their music. She smiled, as she closed her eyes, thinking about this moment, about how she wished these two could always get along like this... it was like a dream.


It's like a dream to me,
You guys as friends,
Instead of enemies.


I wish this moment,
would go on and on.
I wish the past of fighting,
would forever be gone!


It's like a dream to me,
You guys as friends,
Instead of enemies!


Let's all be buds forever,
lets all just hang out together.
It's like a dream to me,
I wish you guys could see,
How happy this moment, has made me.



Fionna stopped, and looked at the two boys. They both looked at each other, before clapping.

"That was great Fionna, but, what fighting were you singing about? Marshall and I have been good friends for a long time." Gumball said, and Marshall nodded his head in agreement.


"Yeah, gee Fionna, you feelin' alright?" Marshall asked her, floating closer, and pressing his forehead to hers. "You don't have a fever."


"Ah..." Fionna blushed at how close Marshall was to her, and she stepped back. "I'm fine.... sorry." she laughed, and so did the boys. Marshall took her hands, and helped her up to her feet.


"It's alright, maybe you're just hungry!" Gumball said happily, and brought out a tray of cookies from the other room, and held them out to Fionna. The bunny girl took a few, and started eating them.


"Mmm, yeah I was!" Fionna said happily as she ate the cookies by the handful.


"Hey slow down, You'll choke." Marshall told her, and him and Gumball chuckled at her, as she slowed down to a stop.


"Sorry, I'm eating all of them." She apologized to Gumball, who shook his head.


"It's alright, Fionna! Eat till you're full!" Gumball said happily.


"Hmm, I think it's time we go home, it's getting dark out." Marshall said, and the group looked out the window, to see the sun set.


"Alright, I'll see you two tomorrow, for another jam session! With actual Jam!" Gumball said happily. Marshall and Fionna both laughed, before the Vampire took Fionna's hand, and they took off into the night air.


"...Hey Fionna...." Marshall said, and the girl looked up at him. He turned around, and flew backwards, plucking at his guitar, while looking at her.


"Yeah Marshall...?" Fionna asked, curious about what he was doing.


"I got a song for you, listen closely." He said, and began playing a slow happy melody.


Hair of gold,
framing your cute face.
You don't know,
but you make this cold heart race.


big bunny ears,
poking out of your hair,
Let me say,
you don't play fair.


Cute Bunny girl,
you always bless my dreams,
Let me tell ya,
what this song means.


The two of them descended to the ground outside the tree house, and Fionna's cheeks were a bright pink, as Marshall's smooth voice strung together a tune that made her heart beat faster, and her stomach flutter. the two touched the ground and Marshall stood close to her, still singing and playing his sweet song.


Cute Bunny Girl...
with hair of gold....
big bunny ears....
my heart is no longer cold....


Marshall smiled at her, his pointy teeth showing, and he leaned close to her ear.

Cute bunny girl...
these words are not fake...
but I'm sad....
cause it's time for you to wake....



"What...?" Fionna looked up at Marshall, and his face started to get blurry.

"Wake up..." His voice called to her, and it sounded distant. "Come on Fionna, it's time to wake up..."


"Marshall....?" Fionna called out, trying to grab onto the fading image, but it disappeared, and her vision turned white.


"Fionna." Marshall's voice sounded loud and clear in her normal ears, and her eyes opened up. Marshall was holding her up off the ground, and she blinked the sleep out of her eyes. "There we go, finally. You've been asleep for an hour."


"Huh? what? You mean, that was all a dream?" Fionna asked, and she touched her head. She had her hat back, and her normal ears. "... wow.... it felt so real."


"Yeah, Gumball made those cup cakes wrong I guess." The vampire said, as he helped her up to her feet. "You both passed out. Good thing I only drank the color." The vampire laughed, and Fionna blushed a bit, remembering her dream.


"Where is he?" She asked curiously, and Marshall pointed over at the now waking Gumball.


"Augh... what a dream." The prince said, as he stood up. Marshall and Fionna both laughed though, and he looked at them curiously. "What is up with you two?"


"Ah, gumball..." Fionna said, trying to stop laughing. The pink prince was currently wearing a frilly pink dress. "You look silly."


"What?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Gumball cried out in horror and surprise, and the two friends laughed at the astonished prince, whose cheeks turned a bright red with embarrassment.


"Gee I dunno, a gremlin must have sneaked in here while you were passed out, and redressed you." Marshall laughed, and bowed to Gumball. "But I must say, The Princess is looking very lovely today."


"MARSHALL LEE! YOU DID THIS!" The prince yelled, and ran at the laughing vampire. Marshall floated away, trying to escape the prince, who was now chasing him. "DARN IT MARSHALL LEE! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"


"Well, It's pretty funny," Fionna said, laughing just as hard as Marshall. The prince stopped, and looked at Fionna, upset.


"Fionna, not you too!" He said, and Fionna laughed.


"Sorry Princess, you'll have to come back another time to meet Prince Gumball." Fionna teased, and Gumball turned red.


"Haha, you do make a pretty cute girl, Gumball." Marshall said, floating beside Fionna now. "You should wear dresses more often."


"augh! You two!" Gumball cried out, and chased them as they both took off, to avoid the wrath of the prince.


"Aaaah! The Princess is chasing us! She's gunna make us have a tea party!" Marshall cried out. Fionna laughed along with him, but they both came to a halt as they saw Gumball in front of them, huffing and puffing from all the running. He had two bottles in his hands, both changing colors. "Uh... Hey now, what's that junk? And how did you get in front of us?"


"Haa.... Secret... door." The prince said, and smirked. "And this junk? Well...." He threw the contents of each bottle on the other two, and there was a bang and cloud of smoke. "I thought you could both use a wardrobe change."


"aaah!" Fionna coughed and swiped her hands around at the air around her to clear the smoke. When it disappeared, she could see Marshall, who was wearing a french maid outfit, with the stupid paper hat on his head. "Ha.... HAHAHAHA!" She burst out laughing, as the Vampire looked down at himself, and turned a bright red in his cheeks.


"What the stuff?!" He cried out in horror, he, the vampire king, had been turned into a frilly maid. "AAAAAUGH! I'LL KILL YOU GUMBALL!"


"Now now, Maid's shouldn't talk back to their mistresses." Gumball said, waving a finger at the Vampire.


"Fionna, don't look a---" Marshall stopped talking, as he looked at Fionna, and he seemed to loose all his anger. He let out a chuckle. "Well... How can I be angry, when there's something so adorable right beside me?"


"Huh...?" Fionna blinked, and looked down at herself. The potion had turned her skirt and top pink, and her hands had large fluffy paws on them, and her feet had furry boots. She touched her head, and her hat seemed to gain a fluffiness to it. "What the Fluff?!"


"What the Fluff indeed." Marshall teased, but then he rounded back on the Prince. "Now then, I'm going to kick your Gummy butt!" Marshall shouted at Gumball, who just laughed.


"What the Junk, Gumball?!" Fionna yelled, and she ran at the prince, and tried to punch him, but her new gloves just made it seem like she hit him with a pillow.


The two boys just looked at her, and laughed. The powerful adventuress, couldn't hurt them with those ridiculous paws on her hands.


"Ah! Get them off! STOP LAUGHING!" Fionna cried out at them, and she chased the two cross dressing boys down the hall, trying to beat them up.


When nightfall came, and Fionna began to grow tired, Gumball had turned the all back to normal, and the young adventuress was being flown home by the Vampire king.


"Hmph, turning me, the King of all vampires, into a maid. He's lucky I didn't drain him of his color." The vampire told the girl on his back. He heard her yawn, and he chuckled. "Though you should think about that costume as an everyday thing, looked pretty cute."


"Nuh uh.... how am I suppose to fight with ridiculous things like those paws, on my hands?" She said. The vampire laughed, she was right, her punches were much more powerful without the paws, him and Gumball learned that quickly after she figured out how to get them off. "Don't be stupid...."


"Alright." The Vampire chuckled, and touched down onto the grass out front of the tree house. "There you go, cutie. Home safe." He turned to her, and grinned. Her hair was a mess from the wind on the flight over here. He touched her bangs, and moved them out of her face.


Fionna recalled her dream from earlier, and she blushed a bright pink as the vampire's fingers touched her cheek.


"Get some sleep, That festival thing starts next week, and you need to prepare for your booth." The vampire laughed, "I've got songs to write myself, for all the after parties."


"Uh, yeah. I should be working out, fighting monsters and junk." Fionna said, and she looked away from the vampire. "Well, Night Marshall!"


"Night, cute bunny girl!" Marshall said, winking at her, before he floated off, to head home.


Fionna hurried inside, and went up to her room. Cake was fast asleep in her drawer, and she changed into her orange pajamas, and she crawled under the pelts on her bed. She sighed as she thought about the day's events, and her stomach fluttered and turned.

She couldn't stop thinking about Marshall....
