The green spot light falls on a guy standing in the middle of the crowd. There’s an irresistible smile that plays son his lips. The girls are going crazy, not because of him, but because of where the pink spot light has fallen. The blaring pink light blinds Fionna. “What the lump?”
Bella whispers from behind her, “Go on, get to the stage, I got you covered.”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s just for show and promotion, go with the flow, come on he and the audience is waiting.” The multitude parts as Fionna makes her way to the stage. Enthusiastic and frustrated commotion is all around.
“Damn, she’s hot.”“Why her? She’s probably not even a fan.”“I’d like her as my queen.”“I hope he chooses another better queen next week.”“How old is she?”“Is that what we have to look like to get chosen?”“Do you think she has a real boyfriend?”“She’s so lucky.”
Fionna finally makes it to the front of the stage area. A pale hand reaches down to help her up. She stumbles and lands in Marshall’s arms. The mob cheers; Marshall smiles at her and she blushes. He wraps his arm around her waist to steady her as he grabs the mic.
“Well, well, well. Don’t I got a nice piece of meat here.” Some of the guys in the audience cheer. Fionna doesn’t find it amusing and stomps of Marshall’s foot, “Kidding, kidding, by glob is she feisty.” He spins her around “So, my darling little bunny, what would you like for me to sing to you?” He gets closer to her and whispers “Give me attitude, don’t be a fan-girl.”
Fionna smiles wickedly, “I do not want a song from you,” the audience gaps, “instead I want a dance.” The audience roars in approval. “We all know the Vampire King can sing,” She directs to the crowd, “but can he dance?”
The onlookers start chanting, “Dance, dance, dance!”
“As you wish, my lady.” Marshall gets his BMO out of his pocket and tosses it to the drummer, “Play track 9” He leads Fionna offstage and everyone makes a ring around them, giving them enough space to dance. A beautiful tango begins to play. Marshall sways with the music ever so gracefully, leading Fionna.
“I…I didn’t know you could dance.” Fionna says astonished.
“There’s a lot that you don’t know about me.” They continue dancing forgetting about their audience. He spins and twirls her and finally dips her closing in the distance between their faces, their bodies, and their lips.
Their lips are centimeters away from touching. Fionna is unsure of what to do. There’s an insane heat on her face. Suddenly he spins her again, outwardly and holds her close to his chest. The crowd’s enchanted. Fionna’s heart is racing. She looks at the crowd of unknown faces & finally spots a pair of hazel eyes. Not a moment later, Marshall’s on the mic again, “Alright! Now let’s get this party started!” The drummer kicks up the beat & everyone is now rocking out to Marshall’s newest song.
The night fast forwards in Fionna’s eyes: Marshall rocks on the stage one second, the next he’s singing a lullaby, the next he’s signing autographs. The costumers come and goes, everyone ordering drinks, asking about what tastes better, and jamming out to Marshall’s silky voice. She even sees her own hands moving, making drinks, taking tips, and finally, cleaning up to counter.
“Wow, the turnout was great you guys!” Cake beams as she sits at the bar, everyone is cleaning up. “Hey can y’all gather round here for a sec?”
Bella, Gumball, Pepper, and Marshall get closer to Cake and Fionna. Chrome appears at Cake’s side.
“Okay, I got something to tell y’all.” Everyone is silent, “I’m pregnant!!” She announces happily.
“Congrats guys,” Bella says.
“How long have you known?” asks Pepper.
“I’m so happy for you Cake, and you Chrome.” Fionna says.
“Yeah well due to my pregnancy, I’ll be moving out of the Treehouse to live with Chrome.”
“Aww Cake, I’ll miss you.”
“I know but that won’t be for a while, but you guise, I’m going to be a mommy!!”
As everyone’s congratulating Cake and Chrome, Fionna leans over the counter, showing off some cleavage accidentally, and whispers to Marshall, her soft lips barely grazing his ear, “You own me dinner now, and you better be ready to explain the ‘Vampire Queen’ bit you pulled off tonight.”
