Fionna POV
I wake up the the sound of rumbling and crashing in my basement.
"Cake is that you?" I immediatly jump out of bed and slip on my adventuring clothes.
There was no answer. I look to see a small little note on the bed reading, "Hunny I went out to go get you the materials for that new dress for Gumballs Ball tonight. NO BOYS. Love ya -Cake."
Great. That means INTRUDER!
I run down stairs to find that the kitchen is completely trashed.
"Aww Man c'mon! Who's in there?" I yell into the kitchen, and pick up my sword by the ladder.
I hear a small, evil chuckle come from in the kitchen.
"Marshall I swear to Glob if you ate my berries!" I yell realizing who it was and put down my sword.
WHOOSH. A small breeze tickles my neck. Next thing I know, my hat is gone.
"Marshall!" I complain.
Another laugh, a little lighter this time fills the space above me as Marshall starts to appear in the air.
"Why do you where this hat everywhere Fi?" he asks me like it was even a question.
"Ha! Called it! I knew it was you now give me my hat back!" I tease, jumping up to try to reach it.
"Nope. Besides I think I would look way better than you!" He says the last part in a mocking voice than procedes to put it on his head. I have to admit it was kind of cute.
"Oh look! I'm Fionna the Human! Watch as a save Gumwads butt from everything that happens!" He says in a high pitched voice. This made me blush.
"Hey quit it, you! Give me my hat back!" I yell laughing a little bit.
He smirks at me and puts it back on my head.
He sighs, "Whatever. By the way. You should go to Gumballs ball with me. Heh. Gumballs ball.." He says casually.
I froze. I felt the heat rising in my cheeks. Was he serious? I mean, he's just my bro, right?
I awkwardly shuffled, "As what?"
"As what what?"
"As what? Your friend, sister.. Date..." I awkwardly asked.
"My date.." He started to get a confused tone in his voice.
"So wait are you serious?"
He chuckled, "Yup."
"Serious, serious?"
"Yup Yup."
"Like.. How serious?"
"So serious that it's beyond seriousness."
"Serious as in a date, date? Like, date date date?"
"Yes."
"Hmm.."
I thought for a moment. Marshall Lee. The Vampire King. Wants to go. To the ball with me.
"I ate all of the strawberries, so think of it as me repaying you." He smirked at me. He was now directly in front of me.
"Yeah.. Sure, dude."
"Wait really?" He got sort of a half shocked expression on his face.
"Yeah.."
"Okay," He even hugged me,"See you at seven," He left in an instant leaving me standing there wondering what just happened.
_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_
"Hunny, I thought I said no boys," Cake answered when I told her what happened when she was gone.
Why did I say yes? Why would I? Why did he ask me? Does he like me? Why?
"Cake I just.. I don't know he was here when I woke up. I really didn't think about it," I told her.
She sighed, "Well, you've got a date now, so what materials do you want? Blue with sparkles, for your favorite color, red and black, for him I guess, pink, for the theme really, everythings pink, and green."
"Ooo Cake can we just do a short dress? Maybe a mix of the blue and black?" I asked her.
"Hmm.. Well baby, since that is not that fancy, we will have to take your hair down and make it extra pretty."
"Ughhh, Cake I just want to wear my normal clothes." I complain.
"No, YOU HAVE GOT A DATE. Plus, you will be beautiful, trust me."
"Ughh, Fine."

Marshalls POV
I can't believe I just did that. She said yes. This is it. I'm going to be going to a dance with Fionna, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I have had a crush on her for years. Ever since I first met her, I felt like my heart was beating again. She makes me feel.. Alive. She's sixteen now and I'm 19 forever. I never thought she would say yes.
Over the years, I would drop hint here and there that I like her, maybe even love her. Some in songs, flirting, and I even went to the extremes, fake dying. Not one reaction really. She didn't notice. But now.. I'd done it. I'd asked her to the ball. As my date. I'm more then happy, I'm elated. I haven't been able to stop smiling since I'd left her treehouse.
The tux I'm wearing is a black tux with a black bow tie. I didn't look to bad. Maybe she would notice that.
I'm going to tell her tonight. I'm going to tell her I love her. I will.
