Marceline knew she was in love the first time she laid her eyes on the pink skinned girl. The scent of bubblegum drifted towards the vampire, teasing and tickling her nose as she inhaled.
Princess Bubblegum was 13 at the time, playing out in the kingdom's courtyard. The vampire slowly approached, not wanting to startle the girl.
"Um ... hey." She greeted, waving slightly.
The princess turned towards the voice.
"Uh? Hello... how may I help you?"
Marceline blushed, knowing the princess was confused as to why she was there.
"I just, uh, wanted to introduce myself," She said, floating over to the girl and sticking out her hand. "I'm Marceline."
The young princess stared up at Marceline's hand, trying to decide whether she was friend or foe. Deciding on the former, she smiled as she grasped the cold hand in her own. "I'm Princess Bubblegum."
Marceline snickered. "That's not really your name." The princess' mouth hung open as she gasped.
"How distasteful, calling a princess a liar." She pouted, turning away from the vampire. Marceline smirked and floated to the princess' front.
"Come on. Tell your real name." She whispered softly into the girl's ear.
A chill ran down PB's spine, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what made that happen. Butterflies settled in the pit of her stomach. How distasteful!
"Well, if it keeps you from badgering me. My name is Bonnibelle."
Marceline smiled.
"Bonnibelle. What a pretty name..."
Two years later, the girls had a mixed up relationship. They were friends, yes, but their constant bickering suggested otherwise.
Today was PB's 15 birthday, and she chose to spend the day with Marceline.
Being a vampire, she stayed the same age forever. To everyone, she was 18.
Bonnibelle looked up at Marceline expectantly.
"What, Bonnie?" She asked, using the nickname she made for her.
"Where's my present?" Marceline smirked. This girl wasted no time. She reached under the pink bed they were sitting on and pulled out a box.
Squealing, PB hurried pulled off the bow and unwrapped the box. Inside was a band shirt. She stared up at Marceline, puzzled.
"M-Marcy... This is your favorite band shirt..."
Marceline smiled down at the girl. "It's a gift from me to you."
Bonnibelle put the shirt down. "Oh no, I couldn't ..."
"Quit your bickering, Bonnie, and accept the damn shirt!" The vampire grinned, ruffling the pink girls hair.
Huffing, PB folded the shirt and put it in her dresser.
A few hours later, the girls were still laying on the bed, Marceline lazily stroking Princess Bubblegum's hair. The princess was laying against the older girl who was supporting herself with her elbow. The vampire inhaled deeply, the scent of Bubblegum filling her nose as she sighed.
The princess nuzzled her head inside the vampire's neck. Marceline grew goosebumps from the touch.
Sensing this, the princess took this chance to softly kiss the vampire's neck, moving upwards and dotting her jawline with kisses.
Marceline's eyes grew wide.
"Bonnibelle, what are you -"
She was cut off as the younger girl pressed her lips to hers.
"I know you want me," she whispered into the older girl's ear, making her shiver.
Giving in, Marceline nibbled on Bonnibelle's ear. A soft moan escaped the younger girl's lips.
They were interuppted by a knock on the door.
"Hey, PB? I just came by to drop off this, like, present."
Groaning, Bonnibelle opened the door to reveal Lumpy Space Princess holding a small box.
"It's totally like, cute and stuff." she said, not noticing the vampire hiding in the corner.
The princess opened the box to find a bracelet.
"Like, look PB. I have one, too," LSP lifted up her wrist and she indeed had a matching bracelet.
Bonnibelle was taken by surprise; she didn't think her and LSP were that close but she appreciated the gift anyway.
"Oh my gosh, LSP. Thank you so much!" she threw her arms around the cloud shaped princess.
Grinning, the princess in the doorway gave PB a friendly kiss on the cheek.
"Catch you later girlfriend. Brad totally, like, wants to hang." she said before turning and leaving.
Smiling, the pink princess closed her door and turned her attention back to Marceline.
"Now where were we?" she asked, taking a step towards the vampire.
"Uh, I uh, have to um, go..." Marceline quickly floated out of the window.
"Marcy! Marcy, wait!" Princess Bubblegum called out after her. The vampire continued on, ignoring the princess' cries.
3 years later, on Bonnibelle's 18th birthday, Finn was dragging a reluctant Marceline to the candy castle.
"Come on, Marceline! You have to meet her!"
Marceline offered a weak smile, her secret not known by Finn.
The vampire and the princess haven't spoke since her 15th birthday. This visit would prove to be awkward.
As they approached the princess' door, they heard muffled cries. Finn burst through the door, prepared to attack.
"PB, what's wrong?" he ran over to comfort her.
"H-he came and stole my most valued possession..."
Marcelines' ears perked up. Someone had recently stolen her most prized possession as well. Finn had a similar occurrence, and ran out the door.
"Come on, we gotta get our stuff back!"
PB slowly walked out te door, until she noticed her old friend Marceline.
"Um, hey. Finn dragged me along..." she mumbled. Bonnibelle just nodded and followed Finn.
The trio was sitting in front of a door, confused as to how they should open it. When they sang, the lights lit up but quickly faded.
"They just need a little rock!" Marceline exclaimed, pulling out her axe and belting out rock lyrics.
The lights lit up halfway, but faded again. Sighing in defeat, Marceline sat down.
Finn was chatting way with Bonnibelle as Marceline looked on in envy.
Noticing the vampire staring at her, the princess made a disgusted look.
"Please avert your eyes, Ms. Marceline. It's quite rude to stare."
Marceline hung her head low. Softly, she began to sing.
La da da da da,
I'm gonna bury you in the ground,
La da da da da,
I'm gonna bury you with my sound,
I'm gonna drink the red from your pretty pink face,
I'm gonna...
Princess Bubblegum scrunched up her nose and commented. "Marceline, that's too distasteful!"
Anger washed over me. "Oh, you don't like that? Or do you just not like me?"
I continued singing.
Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess,
Is that what you want me to do?
Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect,
Like all your little loyal subjects do,
Sorry I'm not made of sugar,
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Is that why you always avoid me?
That must be such an inconvenience to you well,
I'm just your problem,
I'm just your problem,
It's like I'm not, even a person, am I?
I'm just your problem
Well, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to justify what I do
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to prove anything to you
I'm sorry that I exist
I forget what landed me on your blacklist,
But I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you, so
Why do I want to? Why do I want to…
To… bury you in the ground and drink the blood from your… Ugh
The vampire felt pressured with the princess and Finn staring at her.
"Stop staring at me! You through me off!" she shouted over at PB. Finn took a second to think and began singing his own song.
Everyone… Bubblegum… I'm so dumb… I should have just told you… what I lost was a piece of your hair!
Now it's gone, gone forever,
but I guess, what does it matter?
When I just... just had all of you there.
Oh, I just had all of you there with me, my friends...
if you're even my friends.
Finn realized the door was lighting up. "You like this? This is what was missing! The truth!" he commented, before continuing his song.
What am I to you? Am I a joke, your knight or your brother?
What am I to you? Do you look down on me 'cause I'm younger?
Do you think that I don't understand?
I just wanted us together and to play as a band,
Last night was the most fun I've ever had,
Even liked it when the two of you would get mad... at each other.
Oh, you, a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world.
You a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world.
And that's ri-i-i-i-ight I'm talking about the two of you girls.
And you, Jake,
I wanna sing a song to you and I refuse to make it fake.
What am I to you?
Marceline joined in. Am I a joke, your knight or your brother?
What am I to you?
Do you look down on me 'cause I'm younger?
Do you think that I don't understand?
I just wanted us together and to play as a band
I'll forget that I lost a piece of your hair,
I'll remember the pasta that we shared... over there.
Oh oh, you, a-a-a-a-are
my best friends in the world.
You a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world.
That's ri-i-i-i-ight
I'm talking about the two of you girls, and you, Jake,
Marceline and Princess Bubblegum sang in harmony.
OooooAaaaa...
I'm gonna sing a song to you and I refuse to make it fake.
OooooAaaaa...
Make no mistake, I'm gonna sing a song that feels so real it'll make this do-o-o-or break!
The door lit up as the sound of a harmony played. It opened, and revealed a dark room.
Qucikly, the trio ran inside to get their possessions back.
Bonnibelle nudged her old friend and smiled at her. Marceline felt the tip of her ears burn and she blew a kiss.
After rifling through all the items, Finn held up a band t-shirt and held it up to Marceline.
"This must be yours," he commented. Marceline cocked an eyebrow and picked up something else.
"No, this is mine."
Bonnibelle quickly grabbed the t-shirt.
"Actually, the shirt is mine," she said, clearing her throat.
The vampire looked over at the princess and saw she was holding the shirt given to her on her 15th birthday.
"Y-you still have the shirt I gave you?" she asked, her eyes wide.
Bonnibelle smiled.
"Of course, dude! I wear it all the time..."
Heat rose to Marceline's cheeks as a deep blush appearead on her cold skin.
"...to bed." she finished, with a wink.
Finn just stared at the two, confused at the wink PB gave. Shrugging, he picked up the piece of hair that belonged to Princess Bubblegum and walked away.
Later that night, Marceline was cuddled up next to the princess. They stared into each other's eyes.
The vampire had on boy shorts and a tanktop, while the princess had on the band shirt.
Smiling, Marceline reached out and stroked the princess' chin.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you," she sighed, placing a kiss on the girl's warm cheek.
Bonnibelle leaned over and kissed Marceline full on the lips.
"I'm sorry for not chasing you,"
The vampire blushed and rolled over on top of Bonnibelle, not missing her chance this time.
"Happy Birthday, Bonnie." she whispered into the pink girl's ear.
