\m/ Marceline's P.O.V \m/

I pulled away from Marshall and turned to watch the fireflies dance across the still lake, in the distance I heard Flame Princess giggling about something with Finn. She seemed so happy with him. Why aren't I like that? I'm always shy and quiet about dating, maybe I'm different? If so, is it a bad thing? I want to have fun, but....

"Hey, are you ok Marceline? You're not blinking." Marshall asked and I turned to face him and blinked once.

"Ya, I'm fine. Sorry, I was thinking about something." I smiled.

"Thinking about what?" He smirked.

"Oh you know....stuff." I mumbled.

"What kind of stuff?"

"Oh stop it. You don't need to be nosy." I slapped his arm.

"Ok ok..." He laughed. "So, what do you think they are doing over there?"

"Hopefully having fun, that's what I'm thinking." I said. "I think it's almost time to go." I looked around.

"Should we go and see?" 

"Ya." I stood up from the bench.

"Alright." Marshall stood up and he grabbed my hand, and I instantly blushed. We walked passed the surrounding fire flies and grass and saw Flame Princess and Finn standing together but not so close.

"Look at those cute little fire flies." Flames said like a little kid.

"They could be little knights, getting ready for battle." Finn said happily.

"Hey, guys." I said when we were behind them. "You having fun?"

"Hi Marcy and Marshall, are you ready to go?" Flames asked.

"Only if you are, we don't want to rush you." I said.

"Well it is getting late, I guess we could go." Flames said.

"Then we will see you later, thanks for setting up the double date." I said.

"No problem." Flames said and I hugged Marshall and he kissed my head. When I turned to see Flame Princess and Finn, they were just standing there, looking like it was awkward. Finally they just waved at each other and walked away.

"That's so sad." I frowned still being held by Marshall. "I wish they could hug and everything. She was right, it would be hard to have a relationship like that."

"Ya, Finn must feel bad, not being able to hold his girlfriend and comfort her." Marshall whispered. I looked up at him.

"So are you going home?" I asked.

"Unless you want me to walk you home." He smiled and I shook my head.

"I will be fine, I don't live that far. Plus, I could defend myself."

"I know, I just get worried sometimes. Be careful." He kissed my forehead.

"I will." I stepped away from him and watched him leave. I turned to the lake and watched the light from the moon glisten off the water. "It was fun....I have to admit." 

I woke up slightly drooling and my hair all over my face. At first I didn't notice, but when I did, I quickly wiped my face and smoothed out my hair. I laid on my bed staring at nothing. What am I going to do today? I sighed and sat up. I stared at my bear Hambo, which was laying on my dresser. I smiled at it and got up to get something to eat. I yawned and floated off my bed to the kitchen. I opened the fridge to see no strawberries or jelly filled donuts left. I frowned at the sight. 

"I guess that means I'm going to Candy Kingdom today." I said and closed the door and went back into my room to change. I pulled out a gray sweater and black leggings. I braided my hair to the side and pulled on my black boots and headed out.

I walked through the streets that were full of Candy people and looked around for the strawberries and jelly filled donuts. I must admit, it wasn't healthy eating this all the time. 

"Hello Marceline." I heard behind me. It sounded familiar. Oh yes.... I turned and saw peppermint butler. My delicious butler. I licked my lips.

"Hello Peppermint, your looking fine today."

O-Oh Marceline, don't do this..." He stepped back remembering what I did last time.

"Butler please, I'm looking for food for my fridge. I'm not going to go after you....yet." I chuckled and went to a stand that had fresh strawberries. "Can I get two carts of strawberries." I asked and they handed me it. I paid for it and went to another stand with the donuts. After that I saw that peppermint was gone. "Aw...I wanted to have fun with him, I guess I will have to come back later." I sighed and started to walk out of the gates until someone pulled on the back of my sweater. I turned my head and saw the candy police. What did I do now?
