It was a sunny afternoon and Marceline had been strolling around the land of Ooo with her skeleton umbrella. Today was the day she had promised to meet up with Bonnie to talk about a subject that was apparently very important. So important that Marceline had to go out of her way and into the sunlight to talk with her old friend.
For about an hour and a half she strolled around the meadow, admiring the flora and its colors. If she found a flower appealing enough she would pluck it and suck the red right out of it, then laid it into a small pile she hoped that Bonnie wouldn't see. Usually Marcy didn't like waiting for someone, especially if she had to go out of her way also, but, for Bonnie she had a soft spot, and she was the acception to many rules.
Finally Marceline was able to smell her from the distance, she found a comfortable spot on the ground to lay on and put her umbrella down. She found a spot next to an old large tree, with some sunlight coming in right next to her, a spot she saved for Bonnie. Marceline closed her eyes, and slowed down her breathing, mostly because she wanted to look as aloof as possible in front of Bonny. Her footsteps grew closer and her scent grew stronger. If Marceline focused she could hear contents in her bag, sometimes it really did pay off to be a vampire.
Maybe I should grab my axe to add to my persona?
Marcy summoned her axe with a quick chant and it appeared right in front of her. She didn't really think about what she was going to play, all it seemed to be to Marcy was just some muscle memory and a bit of rhythm.
"Marcy! I'm here! Sorry for keeping you!"
"Its cool bub bubs, I'm just chillen here, totally not going out of my way or anything" She shot her a snicker.
"You act like you've waited here for hours, I know how you are, you would never wait that long."
Damn she really does know me well.
After some small talk Bonnie had started placing out what seemed to be picnic supplies; a large blanket, some red foods with some sweet candy kingdom food, and some red punch for the both of them.
"So, Marcy I wanted to talk to you about something important today..."
"Yea, sure, go ahead dont over think it Bonnie, I know you have a habit of that."
"Okay, just... hear me out..." Bonnie closed her eyes and inhaled, for a moment there, Marceline would've felt some unusual feeling inside her that made her whole body clench up.
"Marceline, I know we've been friends for a long time, and out kingdoms and been in peace too because of our friendship... However, I'm to be crowned queen of the candy kingdom, and that's going to take much more time away from you or any of our friends... So please don't think that I'm going to be avoiding you. You're the first person I've told too, I'll tell the other princesses soon enough by letter, but because you're my best friend I figured that you deserved a proper explanation for my absents."
Marceline didn't really know how to reply, on one hand she knew how hard it is being a monarch, but she wasn't like Bonnie, she preferred to slack a little, take things a bit easy, and because the people she ruled over were very self-sufficient. Somewhere in her head she felt some pang of jealousy. Something that felt like her friend was going to be taken away. She tried not to dwell on it.
In that moment of thinking Marceline didn't realize that been quiet for a couple of minutes.
"Um... Marcy? You okay...?" With that, Marceline had hit reality again.
"Yea, yea I'm fine PB. Just kinda blanked out there."
"Are you going to respond? Are you upset?"
"Nah, I'm fine, it just bothers me a little ya know? Maybe I should visit you a bit more?"
"I'd be okay with that but I don't know if I'll always be able to answer you."
"Well... I'll still try, I mean you're the closest person to me..."
It was in that moment that Bonnibel had felt something inside of her, a feeling of warmth, for the time she pushed it off as some comforting feeling that she had inside of her. However subconsciously she had felt a flutter in her heart when Marcy had looked her in the eyes and said those words.
