Marceline's lips pursed as she was once again subjected to one of Bubblegum's rants. The immortal being floated in the air with one arm propped up and her cheek resting against against the palm of her hand. The pink haired princess was ranting and raving pacing back and forth only sparing aggravated glances towards her. How had this happened anyway? Oh yeah, she had stumbled in when Bubblegum was on the verge of a "breakthrough" and ended up distracting her. So once again, it was her fault. All of the princess' words seemed to blur together and she felt her eyes growing heavy. Images flashed behind her eyelids, she didn't often dream because she didn't need to sleep but when she did - it was often images of the past.

When she and Bonnie never fought. When they were happy and going on adventures, having picnics, doing things together like friends were supposed to. How had everything changed so quickly and how could she get things to be like they used to be?

"Ugh, are you even listening to me?!"

Marceline's eyes slowly opened and she noticed that Finn and Jake were peeking through the door trying not to get in between the two girls. Silence filled the room and slowly Bubblegum's rage began to subside as she noticed Marceline wasn't yelling back or making some type of snarky comment. The immortal slowly came down to the ground and stared eye to eye with the princess. Almost in slow motion, Marceline turned her eyes away and then turned to face the window walking towards it. Pushing it open, she hopped onto the sill and then was out of sight.

"Wait, did she just.. leave? Just like that, bro?" Finn asked.

Jake was dumbfounded and Princess Bubblegum was at a loss of words. In all their fights, Marceline usually had some retort but she actually left. She left without a fight. An ache formed in Bubblegum's chest and she wished that Marceline had fought back. She wished that she had said something instead of looking at her with such a disappointed expression before walking away.

"Don't worry Peebles, I'm pretty sure that Marci probably had stuff on the brain. Who knows what glob goes on in that head." Finn said trying to brighten the princess' mood.

Bubblegum curled her fingers into fists before slowly nodding going back to the experiment. However her mind continuously was brought back to Marceline. Didn't she care what happened to the two of them? Didn't she want to convince Bubblegum to change her mind or to quit yelling at her? Didn't she realize what she was really trying to say underneath all of what she was doing?

"Peebles, you're kinda overflowing that beaker."

"H- Woah!"

Bubblegum quickly put it down and rushed to wash her hand though her eyes were drawn to the curtain. She wished that the immortal would swoop down and laugh at her or comment on her absentminded antics. However, Marceline wasn't there and the hole in her chest only grew and began to become quite suffocating.

"Guys, I have to go talk to her."

"Huh, what do you mean Princess?" Jake asked.

" I think its time the roles changed a little. I'll chase after Marceline this time."
