Two members of royalty in the land of Aaa, Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee, sat at a small table in one of the prince's many rooms in the candy castle that looked over Candy Kingdom. In between the two sat a bowl of red, juicy strawberries. Gumball personally gathered them himself along with Peppermint Maid knowing it was Marshall Lee's favorite food. Prince Gumball liked his guests to feel at home when they visited.
Marshall Lee plucked one of the succulent berries from the bowl, his mouth shaping a goofy, fanged grin.
"Oh dude, I LOVE strawberries!" exclaimed the vampire. The immortal popped the strawberry into his mouth. He chewed slowly, savoring the flavor.
Gumball watched as Marshall devoured strawberry after strawberry. The young ruler couldn't help smiling at the serene look on the vampire teen's face. Gumball wondered why Marshall Lee enjoyed strawberries so much. It couldn't be just their red color. Flavor must have something to do with it too.
The pink prince glanced at the bowl that rested between them. Those look yummy he thought. Prince Gumball turned his attention towards Marshall. The vampire was still munching happily on the red berries.
I'm sure Marshall won't mind if I tried one. After all, this was Gumball's home and he had gathered them.
Gumball gingerly reached a pink hand towards the bowl. Just as the prince's hand brushed the edge of the bowl Marshall's eyes snapped towards him. The vampire snarled, his eyes taking on a predatory look and his fangs lengthened.
Marshall Lee snatched the bowl away from Gumball. "BACK OFF GUMBALL!" he roared in the prince's face. The king of the night then proceeded to hiss and growl. This fit went on for about three minutes before Marshall finally calmed down.
When Marshall returned to his senses he saw a whimpering, cowering Prince Gumball before him. Tears ran down his pretty, pink face. The vampire felt guilty and tried to comfort the prince.
"Sorry Gumball, but you should know better than to mess with a vampire's strawberries." Of course being Marshall he had to add a snarky comment. "And please stop crying. It's totally uncool."
Prince Gumball's face flushed. "I'm not crying you butt! It's just your spit dripping down my cheeks from when you got all up in my face!"
Marshall Lee laughed. Gumball was just too cute when he was angry.
"What's so funny?" growled the prince of Candy Kingdom. "If you don't stop I'll hit you."
This only caused Marshall to break out in furious laughter. Gumball hitting him with his soft, gummy fists? There was no way.
The vampire king scooted closer to Prince Gumball. He snaked an arm around his pink shoulders. Gumball let out a sigh of defeat and rested his head on the immortal rocker's shoulder. He couldn't stay mad at Marshall.
"Love you, Bubba," cooed Marshall using the prince's first name.
"Love you too, Marshall Lee."
