Prince Gumball sat in the licorice meadows of the Candy Kingdom, leaning on a giant marshmallow, while watching Fionna, Cake, and Lord Monochromicorn prance around the field. Plucking a string of licorice from the ground, he bit into the savory candy, feeling the saccharine wind through his hair. Looking around, he admired the sweetness of his kingdom, glad it wasn't like Lumpy Space or the Fire Kingdom, or glob forbid, the Ice Kingdom, until his favorite adventuresses and his best friend plopped down beside him, sweating and breathing heavy. After a session of heavy panting, Fionna sat up and looked at Gumball.
"GUUUUUUUUUUUMBALL. You should've played with us. It was so math, like I don't even know," she said. "No it's okay Fionna, I was contempt with watching," Gumball replied. "I really enjoyed today."
"I did too," Fionna said, blushing. Before her blush got too noticeable, the adventuress stood up, brushing licorice off her skirt, and said, "Me and Cake better get going." Fionna headed towards Cake, and the two started walking, slowly.
"Well, we better head back too, MoChro," Gumball said. Lord Monochromicorn snorted nervously, then tapped out a message in the ground. Gumball stared at it, like he was comprehending what it said, then looked up suddenly, blushing a darker shade of pink. Suddenly he laughed and said "Of course you can go with Cake," he said smoothly. "Wouldn't want to cockblock," he said humorously. Lord snorted before affectionately rubbing his snout to Gumball's forehead, then flying off to catch up with the girls.
Gumball sighed before trekking back to the castle. It seemed everybody had somebody these days, Cake and MoChro, even Fionna had Flame Prince. Gumball thought about how Fionna acted, thinking maybe she still crushed on him. He sighed, thinking about his last relationship, and the TERRIBLE breakup. Wallowing in self pity, he walked into his castle. A magnificent building, with tall walls made of wafer, and pink accents on the furniture and decor. He was bombarded by his servants, mostly Peppermint Maid, as they smothered him with their eagerness to please.
"Your Majesty, is there anything I can do?" Peppermint asked. "No thank you, I'm just sleepy." Gumball politely said with a sweet smile. Entering his room, he walked over to his closet, before taking off his royal attire. He rummaged through his wardrobe, until he found his favorite shirt. Black and punkish, he got it from his ex, Marshall Lee. Putting on the black shirt, he admired the color change in his mirror. Black was a nice change from his usual pink color scheme. In fact, all his clothes were pink, purple, and occasionally red. Just as he was about to jump in bed, a deep voice made him jump.
"Hey Bubba."
