A Love As Dark As Night

Dance

Marcy:

I quickly got away from Marshall. I spilled everything to him and he kissed me! I didn't know what to do around him. I didn't know how I felt about him.

"Woah, watch out!" I almost ran into Princess Bubblegum. She smiled and smirked at me. "So, you and Marshall?" She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"I don't know," I growled, running away. I floated up to the ceiling, hoping that Marshall wouldn't find me. Suddenly, a slow song came on. Jake grabbed Lady Rainicorn, Finn danced with Flame Princess, and everyone else went to the floor. I leaned against the wall in relief, but then Marshall appeared.

"Come on," he grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the dance floor. "Calm down," he whispered in my ear, putting his hand in mine and one hand on my waist. I put mine on his shoulder. We awkwardly swayed. "Have you never danced before Marcy? Closer," he pushed me against him, "lose yourself in the music," he whispered, spinning me around.

As the music went on, I began to do what he said. I let the music pulse inside my bloodless veins and carry me around the ballroom. Marshall spun me around, making my dress fly up. I couldn't tell if it was purposely, or on accident.

At the end of the song, Marshall gathered me in his arms. He rubbed my back and kissed me in front of everyone. They gasped, and I realized what was happening. I pushed away from him and ran out of the party.

"Marcy! Marcy, wait! Stop! I'm sorry!" Marshall called behind me. He quickly caught up to me but I switched directions.

"Not cool Marshall," I shouted, finally stopping to stare at him. He looked guilty.

"I know, I know. I just couldn't help it," he mumbled, stepping closer. I shook my head and stormed off.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed, flying off to my house. This time, he didn't follow.
