It's Hunting time.
AutNotes: This is gonna be a multi-chap. Which pairing do you guys want? Fiolee, Marcelee or Bubblee? The first chap isn't gonna have any of those unfortunately. You guys have to decide first of all. I wanna know what you people want.
"Come on Marshall you need this." She rolled her eyes while her son grunted in front of her.
"Mom no I don't. I'm perfectly fine without one."
Marshall's mom was sitting on one end of the table while Marshall sat uneasily on the other end. Marshall was visiting her in the nightoshpere since his mom was too busy to even leave the deathly realm.
She kept insisting that Marshall needed a girlfriend. She wanted her son to be happy but Marshall dind't want any part of it. Well that was his opinion not hers.
"Marshall the last time I saw you happy was 200 years ago! You weren't even happy with that wizrd girl, uh...who was she again?"
"Mom I am perfectly happy right now. I like how my life is going and I don't want to change any part of it. Well not now at least..."
This time Marshall's mom was getting annoyed.
"Marshall all you do these days is sit around in your house and bother that human girl. You don't even socialize with any other people besides ghosts!"
Marshall hated this. About how his mom would force him to do things. He was a thousand plus and part of his life was still being controlled by his mother.
How pathetic.
"Well what do you expect? Everyone else is either someone made of candy or someone who's terrified of people like me." Marshall scratched his head and went back to talking.
"Besides even if I want to get a girlfriend, where in the world would I find one? Everyone here's mostly a dude! It's like a complete sausage fest up there."
Marshall's mom laughed. "I actually thought you were smarter than this. Haven't ou heard of travelling?"
Travelling? Of course Marshall knew about it. He had been wandering the whole place for centuries. He even survived a nuclear war just by hiding in trees and bushes.
He was a travelling nomad for most of his life.
"Tell me Marshall, when was the last time you actually wandered aimlessly across this place? There's always something new."
"Well uh..." He couldn't answer the question. The last time he actually went nomad again was decades ago.
She just grinned at him. "Just as I thought. You should actually explore more often."
With that, Marshall was transported back into the dark of his house. He flipped on the lights and found his zombie cat sitting on his couch.
He sat beside his cat and started to scratch it's back. It purred at him smiling. How cute.
"I don't need a girlfriend now do I?" He asked his cat while looking earnestly at it.
It just meowed at him and he went back to scratching it's back.
"Of course I don't. Do I?"
Marshall decided to go to Gumball for help. Not hanging out with other dudes my ass.
Marshall stopped with his cat and walked out his house. It was sunset so it was ok to fly. He flew off hastily into the direction of the candy kingdom.
Sure ly he was either in the kitchen or in his lab. The kitchen it is. Marshall flew into a random window and walked around the place. Mostly pink and yellow.
The staff never like him. Peppermint maid paid attention probably because it was her job but everyone else nobody really cared.
And just his luck, he wasn't in the kitchen. Might as well grab something.
He walked up to the firdge and opened it. Milk, meat, spaghetti and other stuff he couldn't tell. In one corner of the fridge he found some cherries in a container.
Close enough.
He opened it and began sucking the red out of the cherries. After that he eventually ate all 7 of the cherries.
Sucking out the red doesn't take the flavor away really. Just the color. It makes the cherry look dull and unappetizing.
After he was done with the cherries, he headed for the lab. Hovering slowly so he could check out the rest of the palace.
He found the lab and found him working. He walked in but before he could say anything, he already spoke up.
"Come to mock me or my work?" He was frustrated with his back turned. He was writing something down on a paper.
"Hah no I'm just here to ask you something." He smiled and looked around the lab. He grabbed a nearby flask with a bubbling purple liquid inside it.
"Don't touch that! It's poisonous if you inhale it you know. You could experience a hemorrhage if you do."
Whoops. "Oh crap...I inhaled some of it..." Marshall covered his nose after he said it.
Gumball grunted with his back turned against Marshall.
"So...does this mean I'll die?" Marshall was worried.
Gumball chuckled. "Of course not, I'm not that stupid. I've made a cure you know?"
Gumball opened a cabinet and brought out a flask with a stopper. It carried a blue glowing liquid inside.
"What does that do?"
"Well this should keep your insides from bleeding. Take a teaspoon of this every 8 hours starting now." Gumball brought out a teaspoon from out of his lab gown and removed the stopper.
He poured it into the spoon and gave it to Marshall. Marshall eyed it carefully. He didn't know if he should trust it.
"What's wrong now? It tastes like blueberries of you're wondering."
Marshall drank up the treatment and the taste made him want more of it. "Woah that tastes awesome." Gumball smiled at him. "I knew you'd like it."
"So anyways what did you want to ask me about?"
Marshall checked behind him to see if the door closed. And good enough it was.
"Ok so my mom thinks that I...uh..."
"Yes?"
"that uh..."
"What?"
"..."
"Spit it out Marshall come on I have other things to do you know."
Marshall sighed and talked. "My mom thinks I need a girlfriend..." Marshall sighed again while looking down on the floor.
When Gumball heard this he started to laugh.
"What? This is serious Gumball!" Gumball couldn't hear Marshall over the sound of his own laughter. Marshall was being ridiculed by a pink guy.
"Ugh I knew this wasn't worth it." Marshall walked towards the door but Gumball's hand stopped him.
He was still laughing but it was dying down until he could talk properly. "Wait. Ok I'll help you." They smiled at each other and got down to business.
"Ok but how? Everyone around here is usually a dude. An if it's a girl they probably don't even have a humanoid body." Marshall said to Gumball in a worried way.
"Hmmmmm, did your mom say anything about how to get one?"
Marshall recalled the visit and she said something about going to a hell lot of places.
"My mom said something about wandering I think. You know like those nomads you find wandering the desert."
"Hmm. Well it could work. Here I'll give you something you might find useful." He walked over to a drawer near him and opened it. While searching through the items, he finally pulled out something cylindrical that had a blue ribbon to tie around it.
"What's that?" Marshall wondered. "Ever heard of a map?" Gumball asked chuckling at Marshall. He untied the map and out came a roll of paper that dropped down to the floor and rolled. Needless to say, it was a big map.
Marshall snatched the map and started looking at all the places marked down. There were a lot of places he had never heard of. Well after all he hadn't seen a map in a long time.
There were continents and islands, mountains and archipelagos all over the map. It had a certain age to it. The paper was delicate and hap a few rips around the corners.
"Woah...I've never seen these places before. Burning arches, the dark strait and what in the world is Darien?"
Gumball simply smiled.
"You'll have to find out for yourself."
