Chapter 1- You just can't stop Marceline
So hey guys, this is my first fic, but at least I'm writing it about my OTP Marceline/PB. Hope you enjoy!
Bonnibel was just finishing brushing her hair as hot air blows right into her ear. She looks into the mirror, and notices with out surprise that there's no other person beside her.
"Marceline." She says, turning around to see Marceline in her rocker getup, and her trademark smirk.
Marceline sighed, "I know you don't want me in here, but I want you back…"
Now it was Bonnibel's turn to sigh. "Marceline… It's never going to happen again."
A single tear came down from Marceline's eye. She mentally punched herself for not realizing that this would happen to her. Again. She decided to give it a try though. Again, she floated behind Bonnibel and breathed into her neck, a very sensitive spot that she had found a while back.
"Marceline, ahhhnnn stop." Marceline flicked a tongue out in mid-sentence. She floated behind the Princess, holding her hips. Bonnibel dropped the brush she was using to comb through her bubblegum hair. "Marceline!"
Her face went red, as Marceline gripped her ass, waiting for a reaction. "MAR-CEL-INE!" she shouted, shoving The Vampire Queen away as hard as she could.
Marceline's face fell as Bonnibel pushed her away as she tried to get closer. "Bonny…"
"Shut up!" she roared at her ex-lover, looking her dead in the eyes. In the enraged Princess' eyes she saw, hatred? "I don't want you back…"
Marceline's eyebrows skyrocketed upward as Bonnibel walked over to the other side of the room, opened the window, and gestured for her to leave.
"Bonny! Please, just hear me out…" she started.
"Get. Out." She said back to Marceline, surprising the Vampire Queen with the coldness, and the hatred in those two words.
"I love you Bonnibel. And I always will." Marceline stated, floating through the open window, head hung low.
As soon as Marceline was out of sight, Bonnibel slumped to the ground and began to cry. "I love you too Marceline. Just not like that."
-A few days later-
"Hey, Princess! Wanna hear about our adventure?" Finn asked excitedly, looking at the Princess reading a book about Physics. She remembered how she and Marceline went to a secret library, filled with books of all kinds, and she had given that one to Marceline. She also remembered how she rudely took it back after the breakup.
"Not right now, Finn. I have important business to attend to." She said, not making contact with either Finn or Jake.
"We'll catch you later then." Finn says to her before Jake sweeps him away, leaving Bonny alone once again. She grazed her fingertips along some of the words on a page, a single tear falling from her eye.
"Why did I do that..." she wondered to herself, "Why did I push her away…?"
It was at that point when the wind carried PB's thoughts across the land, reaching Marceline's ears. She too was sad, and had spent the past couple of days travelling, deserting her house in the woods. The only reason she had moved there was because of Bubblegum anyways. She kept going; her head still hung low, as if she didn't have the strength to move her head at all.
She sat on a rock, swinging her bass around in her hands as she though of something to play. She knew after the conference, that the people of the Candy Kingdom were enraged that Marceline and Bubblegum were together. They stressed that this would create conflict with their people, and that it couldn't go on.
Earl Lemongrab had a certain opinion on this certain situation. He said in the conference that if Princess Bubblegum did not comply with the Candy Kingdom's wishes, that she would be dethroned and Lemongrab would rule the kingdom. Enraged, the kingdom gave Bubblegum three days to decide, Marceline or her kingdom?
Bubblegum refused to let her kingdom to be ruled by someone as harsh as Earl Lemongrab, so she decided not to go through with her and Marceline's relationship. Marceline was absolutely distraught when she found out Bubblegum's decision, and made a conscious effort to try and convince her otherwise, saying things like, "I'm the Vampire Queen, Bonny, I would never let my people hurt you."
But her attempts were almost impossible as Bonnibel tried to shut Marceline out of her life completely, not giving her easy access to her bedroom as she was used to, and she couldn't show her face at the castle ever again. Not after that embarrassing conference. She couldn't even turn to her besties, Finn and Jake. LSP (Lumpy Space Princess) had already started bogus rumors about Marceline threatening to kill the pink princess and such.
When she tried to seek guidance from Finn, he attacked her, thinking that she had hurt his beloved princess. Enraged, she fled, and never showed her face to that pair ever again. A few nights ago, when she had tried to explain herself to Bonnibel, she had gotten angrier that I had ever seen her before. Now, Marceline doesn't have anywhere to go- and no-one to talk to.
Marceline played a few notes on her base, sitting (or rather, floating above the rock) on the rock, tuning the strings by ear. When they were sufficiently tuned, Marceline started to play.
"Oh PB, why'd you leave me? I loved you, and you deserted me. You think it's over, but not for me. Bonny, you'll see, you'll see. All we had, it's all lost. But if we come together…"
She sighed to herself. What was the point in even singing about it? She was gone forever, and Marceline couldn't do anything about it. She sighed again, and began to play once more…
-Back at the castle-
"Well, Jake, Peebs looks really sad." Finn said to Jake, riding on his back.
"She did?" He asked his best friend skeptically.
"Dude! I think she was even crying…" he said to Jake.
"Whaaaaaa? I thought Princesses' weren't allowed to cry…" He said back to Finn, as he shrunk back to his regular size.
Finn hopped of his pal's back. "I know, right! I hate seeing her so sad…"
"You should go talk to her," said Jake with a nudge, "Be the hero."
"I guess…" He pondered that for a few moments before adding, "But she thinks I'm just a kid…"
"Don't worry!" Jake assures Finn.
He steps back a few feet, seeing Marceline crying and playing her bass in the background. "Why is Marceline crying?" Finn pondered aloud.
He walks up to her, tapping her shoulder. "Marceline…" He starts.
"Are you here to bash me again, Finn? What did LSP say to you this time?" She asked him, slinging her bass back over her shoulder.
"You were singing about the Princess weren't you?" Jake asks Marceline as she uses the heel of her palm to wipe away tears.
"So what?" she replies, as she wipes away more tears. "What if I was?"
"Why are you sad?" Finn asks Marceline.
"I'm really not in the mood right now!" she shouts, floating off. Finn grabs her wrist, spinning her back around.
"So you didn't hurt the princess?" He asked her, as Jake stared at the two of them in awe. Jake had never seen the childish teenager be so brave and bold before.
"No! Those were just some rumors that LSP spread around. I would NEVER do anything like that to Bonny. Never." She replies, crossing her arms as Jake looks at her skeptically.
"So, you and Princess Bubblegum were dating?" Finn asks.
"I said I'm not in the mood!" She shouts again, wanting to storm off, but is too sad to do so. Tears threatened to flood from her eyes.
"C'mon, we didn't mean to make you cry or anything, Mar. We just want to know…" He trailed off as Marceline grabbed the front of his shirt in her fist.
"Women." Jake sighed as Marceline held her face close to his, eyes blazing.
"I loved Princess Bubblegum." She confirmed. She held him up in the air since he was floating.
"Let him go Marceline." Jake commanded.
She whipped around, still holding Finn. "Don't tell me what to do."
Jake stepped back. Marceline was really beginning to scare him.
"Finn," she started, looking back at him, her fist clenched around his T-shirt. "If you love the Princess so much, why don't you go comfort her?"
At that, she dropped Finn to the ground, spun off, and floated away in a huff.
"I told you man." Jake said to Finn as she stormed away.
