I was editting and don't remember if I deleted a chapter or not, so I put a small part in this chapter that kind of explains the gummy. I'll add a flashback later.

Gumball curled up under the covers, cursing the sunlight. He jumped when he heard Peppermint maid knock loudly on his chamber doors. He glanced around trying to find Marshall, but he wasn't there. Gumball climbed down from the middle of his bed and let his maid in.

"Sir?" Peppermint Maid looked at the Prince after he never answered her questions; "Sir? Are you aware of the boy's condition ,down in the infirmary?... They moved him down to critical care..." she chattered on as she poured Gumball's tea. Gumball frowned and set his cup and saucer down on the side table.

"He was?... Why was I not told!" Gumball hurried to his closet and changed into his usual princely hurried downstairs quickly as he adjusted his crown and ran towards the infirmary. When the front door opened ,and his mother stepped in.

"Gumball!" she said happily as she came over, stopping her son in his tracks; "Why the hurry, dear?" she smiled. Gumball squirmed from her grip and ran to the infirmary. He hoped he wasn't too late to check on the kid. He knew his mother was chasing him, through the infirmary as he ran to the crit-room. He stopped himself before he hit the bed, playing his bass.

"Marshall..." Gumball sighed and walked over; "How long have you been down here?..."

"I woke up at 2... Had a bad feeling... I swore I heard something earlier... SO I came down here and I've been down here all day." Marshall Lee muttered. Gumball drowned and pulled up the brim of Marshall's cowboy hat ; kissing the vampire.

"So you only slept, what, an hour?" Gumball sighed and hugged his love.

"I would appreciate if you two would stop." the queen stood in the doorway looking rather mad; "And explain the me what's going on?"

"Not right now, mother." Gumball sighed as he started to check on the boy.

"He's fine... Doc checked him earlier..." Marshall said as he put his bass on his back. Gumball curiously followed his undead companion outside.

"So... Marshall.. What did you hear last night?..." Gumball frowned and sat on the nearest bench.

"I don't really know... It sounded like a person but there weren't any footsteps..." Marshall shook his head and floated over to Gumball ; " This kid we found... He's bad news, Gummy. I can feel it..." he sat beside Gumball and stared at the ground. Gumball suggested many things he knew were possible in the land of Aah.

"Ghosts?" Marshall shook his head. "Those bird people? The avions?" Marshall shook his head.

"Vampires?" Gumball paled a bit. Marshall had shown him the nightosphere and it honestly scared him; "There could be vampires after you again..."

"They know everything about me, why strike now?..." Marshall looked up at his prince. Gumball didn't know how lethal his people could really be. He hoped that Gumball would never have to know.

"Why not? You're vulnerable here, in the light, Stressed, and with your lover." Gumball shrugged; "Its possible..." Marshall frowned and nodded, pulling the brim of his hat down over his eyes.

"Are we still going to Party Pat's tonight?" Gumball asked. He was actually looking forward to the party.

"Of course~" Marshall snorted half heartedly. He never missed a chance to party. It was when he felt like he was in his prime...Gumball smiled happily and got up.

"I best go entertain mother, so she doesn't get suspicious." Gumball hurried inside.

Marshall Lee Evans, the vampire king, felt crushed by the situation. He got up and floated around the castle, stopping when he saw a fooprint on the ground near the infirmary window. He floated over and looked closer at it. It was made with a heeled boot, by what Marshall could the vampire was after this new kid... Marshall frowned and looked in the window, at the gummy laying in the bed. He had to admit, the kid did look sweet... He shook his head. No he didn't mean to make a joke... Marshall floated back inside and decided to lay down for the day.

They'd found the gummy in crystal lake. More specifically, when Marshall was dropped into the lake, on accident. Gumball had seen something pink. He'd pulled the boy out. Marshall frowned as he remembered the situation, curling up on Gumball's bed.

Gumball went upstairs to his bedroom after a day of 'son ,this' and 'son,that' and so on. He peeked inside and chuckled when he saw his lover , asleep on his bed. He decided now would be a good time to get payback for Marshall scaring him constantly. Gumball smirked and went over to his dresser.

"Don't you even dare." Marshall smirked and opened his eyes. Gumball pouted and let Marshall floatover to him.

"Lets change and get going, don't wanna disappoint pat, Nerd." Marshall teased, sticking his forked tongue out. The gummy prince stuck his tongue out at the vampire before he went to go get dressed for the party. Gumball yelped when he felt Marshall's cold hands on his back, and turned around.

"Marshall!" he growled quickly and put the shirt Marshall gave him on, making sure his belt was on right. He clung to his lover when Marshall picked him up and burried his face in his chest for warmth.
