I stretched as I rose from my bed. 6:30, perfect. Just when the sun was about to set so I didn't have to wear any dumb hats to shield me from the sun. Sometimes I wonder what it's like to enjoy the sun… I thought about it as I threw on a red plaid shirt and buttoned it up.
I walked out my door and floated over the stream that ran through my cave. My stomach raved. "Urgrrrrrrrgrgrgrgrgrgr."
Well, that sounded messed up. I guess I forgot to eat breakfast- uh, dinner? Whatever. I snatched up a few red flowers as I floated over a meadow and sunk my teeth into them.
By the time I reached Fiona and Cake's treehouse, the crimson flowers had transformed into white flowers. Just as I came to the treehouse door, Fiona walked out, putting her backpack on.
"Hey Fionna, I brought you some…" I looked down at the white flowers. "Uh, daisies." I held out the colorless bouquet.
"Um, thanks." Fionna reached for the flowers, but not before I set them on fire. "Or not. We were just leaving."
"We were supposed to hang out today!" I looked up and flashed my sharp fangs. "Where you going?"
Cake popped out of the backpack. "We're going to Prince Gumball's castle!"
"Ugh, him?" I wrinkled my nose. "He's such a geek, wayyyyy boring."
"He's a lot nicer than you!" Cake retorted, pointing her oddly human-like paws in my direction. "Onward, Fionna!" She raised her small, furry fist.
"I'm not a horse, Cake." Fionna rolled her eyes. "But we should get going before the creatures of the night come out, I don't really have time to fight them."
"Like meeee?" I growled and turned my head in to wolf form, trying to scare them. But Fionna just kept walking forward. I jumped in front of them, but they didn't seem to care. Well, except the fact that Cake had dove into the backpack and probably couldn't see me. I decided to follow them. It would be fun to mess with Gumball. I floated to catch up with them, and touched my feet down gingerly and started walking.
"So… You and Gumball?" I raised my eyebrows.
Fionna's bangs swung as she turned to me, blushing. "No! I just like hanging out with the candy people. I'm a kid, you know." Fionna adjusted her bunny hat.
"Hm. Okay, here's a question." I began. "What would you do if… Gumball licked Cake's face?"
"Hm.. I'd probably slap him 'cause that's weird junk." She waved her arms as she spoke the last two words.
We came to the pretzel gate of the candy kingdom and were greeted by the most adorable little Lollipop guards.
"Hullo, Fionna. Here to see Gumball?" The red lollipop inquired.
"He must be tasty…" I whispered to Fionna.
"Yeah, can we go in?" Fionna replied to the guard while glaring at me.
"Surely, Fionna." The guard noticed me and gasped with alarm. "But the drooling vampire must stay away from here!"
"But he-" Fionna began before I cut her off.
"Fi, it's fine… I'll just…" I winked. "See you soon."
Fionna wandered in with Cake, who was just barely peeking out of the pack watching me. I looked at the lollipops.
"Do you like being red? Or would you rather be butter scotch?" I approached the red lollipop.
"Oh, butterscotch sounds nice. That's my favorite flavor!" He beamed.
I nodded and dove at the guard, easily sinking my teeth into the hard, sweet, sucker. When I stepped away, he had been drained of color.
"Ooooooh." The newly white lolli-guard turned to his colleague. "How do I look?"
"You look good! It takes like 10 pounds off of you! Can you do me, too?" The pink lolli-guard turned to me.
I guess pink was close enough because I was able to drain the color from him too. It didn't taste as good as crimson, though. And while they were squealing about their new looks, I simply floated past them and into the candy castle at the center of town. I slithered in through the window, ready to make Gumball pee his pants.
I found them in the main ballroom, talking about science or some junk. Still on the ground, I came up behind Gumball and rose up from the ground. Fionna noticed me, but couldn't say anything before I licked Gumball's cheek with my forked tongue.
"Agh!" Gumball shrieked, and twisted around to meet my soulless eyes. He jumped when he saw me.
"Bubblegum flavor." I hissed in an eerie voice.
"Fionna, you brought Marshall Lee?" Gumball snapped.
I cackled. "Hello, Bubba. Long time no see."
