He y guys! So this is my first attempt to publish anything I've written for these two, so I know it isn't great… Feedback would definitely help though. I know this Chapter is kinda boring but the plot will thicken soon(:
I (unfortunately) so not own Adventure Time or any of the characters.
Marceline was sitting on the porch of her small purple home, located on the inside of a cave right outside the Candy Kingdom. She could hear all of the commotion from the day's celebratory events inside the castle grounds perfectly clearly, even though she was still so miles away from the epicenter of all the noise. "Ugh, why does Bonnie still celebrate her little birthday? You'd think by now she'd be tired of being another older..", Marceline said aloud to herself. Even though Princess Bubblegum was nearly half as old as she (which is still a few thousand years), she still decided to celebrate her birthday ever year. Most of the kingdom was now wondering whether she still did it out of celebratory spirit, or if it had just become habit.
"WOAH MAN, SLOW DOWN!"
Marceline heard Finn yelling to Jake, as he rode on Jake's back as the stretchy little dog raced down to Marceline's house with extremely elongated steps. After a few more bounds, both were standing at the steps of the porch. "Hey Marc, you coming down to Peeb's B-day bash?", Finn asked The Vampire Queen in his boyishly enthusiastic voice. As much as the Centuries old rocker girl had grown to despise this sort of naive youth, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Finn and his brotherly canine companion. She had no choice but to admire his adventurish spirit, which is a trait she had in common with him. "Nah man, I think I'm gonna kick at home today. Too much going on in the big ole city today. I don't deal well with crowds of people that stick to me," she answered. "Oh that's cool, we don't really wanna be all up on the sticky peeps either, so Jake was gonna lift us up over the crowd. You can float up with us and see the princess open her presents. I hear they're so Mathematical this year!," replies Finn. Finn looked up at the Vamp, his eyes full of expectancy. She sighed. "Fine, I guess I'll go, but only for you two butts".
Bubblegum had been planning this party for weeks. She did her best to make sure every yearly celebration of her birth was better than the last. It was become harder and harder to outdo herself, and harder and harder to keep up with her loyal subject's expectations. Currently she was looking for a way to set the castle grounds alight with rainbow fire, without actually melting her poor candy citizens. She frowned. Lately she had been wondering why she even bothered anymore. Her birthday celebrations brought no joy her in hundreds of years. The last time she was happy on her birthday, disaster ensued. She not only managed to permanently trap herself at the age of 18, but she also lost the person she cared for most. A person who hadn't shown up for her party since. Nonetheless, PB rose from her desk, and started to dress herself for the occasion. She decided to go with the typical pink dress, with her long chewy hair down by her sides. "Well, she thought to herself, here goes nothing.
Out on her balcony, the princess scanned over the crowd. The outcome was the same as usual; it seemed as though almost everyone had shown up to see what sort of spectacular show she would put on this year. She stepped forward and leaned slightly over the rails, preparing to address the swarm of sweet people: "My sweet citizens of Candy Kingdom, welcome to the annual celebration of my Day of Birth. No doubt you are all looking forward to the wonderful festivities ahead, so I will keep this brief. I appreciate all of your support in my ruling of this Kingdom. I will always do my best to keep you all safe and sound. The Kingdom has been blessed with peace and happiness. I find this reason to celebrate!" With her final words, a dome swept over the city, eliminating the light from the sun above. From the dome, bright shining liquids began to fall. When the drops hit the ground, they exploded into a thousand pieces and that shown like glitter. Music stared blasting from the towers, and thus the party began. "well, I hope they enjoy this…. ", Peebs muttered to herself as she turned to walk back into her room and escape the noises of elation below her. That's when something high in the air caught her glimpse. It was Finn and Jake, towering about the crowds, dancing in their own special part of the atmosphere. She looked closer. There seemed to be another small figure up in the sky with them... Shock flashed across her features. Could it be? No, it was impossible. Marceline, a girl that had once been so dear to her, hated her now. She would never show up to one of the parties. The last time she did, Princess Bubblegum knowingly destroyed the girl, without showing remorse. But of course she did regret it. She thought about Marceline every day since. She thought about the friendship they had. A friendship that had the potential for so much more. A friendship that she threw away, for fear that the feelings the girls shared would ruin her royal persona and her ability to rule a people that so desperately needed leadership. But, as the pretty pink teen glanced back at the long slender figure floating so high above her, there was no doubt. It was Marceline.
The princess sat at her desk, hands frantically ting back her hair, something she often did when plotting. A new sort of fire burned inside the young fierce ruler. A fire that would stop at nothing to get the two girls together at last.
