It's Just Human Nature (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)

"Have fun everyone!" Diego told them all with a smile as the music began playing into a loud and vibrant tune so everyone can have fun and enjoy themselves. Diego leaned forward to kiss Marceline while they were all having fun.

"Hey, you okay? You look kinda pale all of a sudden," Ice King asked her with a bit of concern. "Yeah, you all right, Morgan?" Finn asked.
 
Marceline kissed Diego, and whispered in his ear, "Im getting a bit tired so I'm gonna head home, and I'm gonna bring Morgan with me. We haven't spent much time together since she moved out."

"Yeah I'm fine." Morgan said smiling. "I'm just an introvert and being around all these people is kinda exhausting."
 
"She does look like she's getting tired and I'm worried something might be up. I overheard that she's gonna talk with Finn later," Diego whispered back. "I'll save you plenty of food, especially cake," he added before he kissed her back.

"Oh, I know what that is. I just wanna make sure you're okay after all," Ice King told her with a smile while Finn nodded.
 
"Okay, thanks." Marceline kissed him and went up to Morgan, Finn, and Ice King. "If you two don't mind, I'm gonna steal her. Spend some girl time back at my place."

"Should I get Bubblegum?" Morgan asked.

"Sure why not?" Marceline gestured to Bubblegum to go with them.
 
"I guess it'd be guy time though Jake and his lady are still here," Ice King pointed out as he waved to them. "So, what do you think is bugging her?" Ice King asks Finn. "I don't know. I think she doesn't even know her own birthday and she doesn't like to think about it," Finn commented.

"You can't run from that sort of stuff though," Jake added as he saw Peppermint Butler saying his farewells to Princess Bubblegum.
 
Once the three girls got back to Marceline's place, Marceline asked, "Okay what's up?"

"It's stupid." Morgan sighed sitting on the couch.
 
Hunson just remaining mke light conversation with Peppermint Butler while he was eatng some of the food. "Yeah, but she cannot run from that. I wish I could do more to help," Ice King said. "I know what you mean," Finn said with his own smile. "What dd you get her?" he asked her as Jake was also curious.

"I doubt it is. Tell us what is troubling you," Princess Bubblegum said as she turned toward Morgan and wondering what is troubling her.
 
"I was left on my grandparents' doorstep without so much as a note." Morgan sighed. "The only reason my grandparents knew who I was was because I looked like my mom when she was a baby. They never wanted me, they didn't even name me. They hired a nanny and the moment I could take care of myself they fired her. The nanny is the one that named me." She rolled over on her side facing away from them. "If my own grandparents couldn't care about, how can anyone?"
 
Princess Bubblegum just remained quiet as Morgan let out everything that she was saying regarding everything. "The Ice King does... and does Finn. And Jake. And Lady. And Marceline. And myself and so many others," Princess Bubblegum said before she placed her hand on Morgan's back and rubbed it to try and comfort her over this startling revelation.

"It's a surprise," Ice King said as he was thinking. "But guys, I know you have your dad and I wanna know... am I being a good dad?" he asked Finn and Jake. "Like, I feel like I am tyring my best, but also I don't know what I'm doing," he added.
 
"But why? I'm garbage." Morgan said.

"You're right, you are garbage. That's why everyone is so worried about you because you're garbage." Marceline said. "Just because your grandparents were too stupid to see how awesome you, doesn't mean we all are."

"Yeah, I think it's Morgan trying to get used to everything." Jake said. "Ooo is completely different than what she knew, and it's probably stressing her out."
 
"There are plenty of people that care about you," Princess Bubblegum said as she continued trying to comfort Morgan. "After all, during the few times I talk to Ice King, you are often the topic of our conversations. He talks about how proud he is of you," she said with a smile.

She was not lying. Besides the strange anecdotes or non-sequitors, Ice King would often compliment Morgan or even ask her about how to better help out Morgan.

"I think she's also like me... the thing with her parents seem to bum her out," Finn confessed. "What do you mean?" Ice King asked. "Don't worry about it," Finn said.
 
"Yeah, I haven't seen him like this ever," Marceline sitting on the arm of the couch, "and I've known him for like a thousand years. And Finn hasn't been this serious about a girl since ever."

"She'll be fine, she just has some stuff she has to work out." Jake told him.
 
"We are your friends," Princess Bubblegum added with a smile as she looked at Morgan with a friendly smile on his face. "Everyone likes you, but the most important thing you need to do is like yourself," she added.

Finn began thinking of something he could do to cheer her up. "Maybe I can do soething t help," he thought out loud
 
"After being told that you're horrible for your entire life, you start to believe it." Morgan stated.

"Well they're dead and you're alive. That says something right there." Marceline stroked her hair.

"Do something romantic for her." Jake suggested. "Lady loves it when I do that."
 
"All right, but I don't know what. Any ideas?" Finn said as he looked to Jake and Lady mainly for suggestions while Ice King was thinking of potential ways to help his daughter out and wondered whether he should give her the present early.

"And everyone else is there with you too. Do not listen to your grnadparents; listen to the people who care about you," Princess Bubblegum said.
 
"I don't know, she's your girlfriend." Jake said. "Maybe you should try watching some movies from before the Mushroom War and try doing something humans do."

Morgan sat up, sniffles, and wiped tears before she hugged both of them.
 
"Yeah, but I guess I'd also to know more of what I can do since I don' much about relationship biz," Finn said before facing Lady Rainicorn and hope she could provide some answers or at least some advice, even if Jake had to translate. As for Diego, he had been convsersing a bit with Hunson Abadeer.

Princess Bubblegum was surprised by the hug, but she didn't pull away. Instead she leaned in and returned the hug to help comfort Morgan. "We all care about you, especially Finn," Princess Bubblegum said.
 
"Or you could ask Diego to help you." Jake suggested. "He'd know stuff from before the war that you could do."

"Thank you!" Morgan said.
 
"Yeah, but I don't know much about girls," Finn confessed before he rubbed the back of his head. "Just follow your heart, Finn. That never let us down before and it won't now. Just show her that you appreciate her and how much you care about her," Diego advised his friend with a smile.

"You wish to return to the party or not yet?" Princess Bubblegum asked after a bit of silence.
 
"Luckily Morgan doesn't seem that girly." Jake said. "Sometimes I forget she's a girl altogether."

"Let the guys stay at the party, we can chill here and have a girls' night." Marceline said.

"What are we gonna do?" Morgan asked and Marceline shrugged.
 
"She definitely likes to kick butt. She kinda reminds me of Lady that way," Finn said as he smild and he began thinking of some ideas he could do. "I think the girls are gonna stay over at Marcy's place. They haven't been back in awhile," Jake commented.

"Well, we can all play some video games on B-MO if ya want..." Diego said before he saw Hudson sneak away. "Or stop Marceline's dad from trying to eat the souls of bugs or something," he said as he sighed.

"I did not plan for something like this. My apologies," Princess Bubblegum said as she couldn't come up with anything either.
 
"We both ended up with some kickass chicks." Jake said before giving Hunson the stink eye.

"I could order pizza, and we could watch movies." Marceline suggested.

"Sounds good." Morgan smiled. "My only request is that we order one with extra cheese. And can it really be a girls' night since Marceline is having a boy?"
 
"That makes three of us," Diego said with a smile before going over to Hunson. "Well, it's not like I have anything better to do," Hunson said as he shrugged his shoulders. Diego just shrugged before unfolding a sheet of paper and tossed a baggie of bug milk.

"Clever. Well, see you around," Hunson said as he waved friendily to Diego before being banished. "He's such a weirdo," Diego commented before sighing.
"What do you wanna do now?" he aksed the guys.

"I am all right with anything," Princess Bubblegum commented as she wondered on how everything turned. "I suppose I find it interesting how we were all set here," she noted.
 
"Well I'm gonna walk Lady and the kids home and then I'll be back." Jake said.

"Kay." Marceline said before floating into the kitchen to use the phone.

"What do you mean?" Morgan asked grabbing a movie from the new entertainment center.
 
"All right, see you later bro," Finn said as he waved to them with a smile before deciding to help clean the place up since it was his home after all.

"I expected for Marceline to spend the whole day with Diego," Princess Bubblegum merely stated. She knew Peppermint Butler would still be with the guys, but she got the impression that it was unsure what anyone would be doing.
