**Love Triangle Adventure **
Chapter 2
Adventure Time Gender-swapped
In the case of Gumball
Lately, Marshall has been acting strange. Marshall may look mischievous (on which he is) but he also has a sensitive side. Like the moment when he starts composing a song, he starts going quiet and no one can disturb him. I once asked him why and he replied with a little chuckle:
'Where words fail, music speaks.'
He's been spacing out and staring out into the distance and when he has his guitar with him, he starts playing these depressing sounds. We were in the classroom and he was staring off the window while I read.
"Marshall,"
"Hm?" he said only to be poked in the cheek as he turned his head around.
"Hahaha! You actually fell for it!" I mused happily.
"What-were-you-intending-to-do?" he asked threateningly as he pinched my cheeks.
"Oh, you've cheered up now!" I replied.
"What are you guys doing?" a voice called out and some of them laughed as they watch us bicker.
Marshall and I have been friends since childhood. I was the type who always sat in the corner with my head buried in the book I was reading and Marshall was the popular and rowdy type of guy. A guy who everybody liked actually.
"You always do nothing but read, don't you?" Marshall asked while carrying a basketball under his arms. I was actually surprised that he was talking to me.
"Do you have some business with me?" I asked in return.
I wasn't used to someone talking to me and I actually thought it was a form of bullying at first. I looked behind him and saw that his other friends were actually surprised that he was talking to me and were also wondering on why he was talking to me.
"I've read that book. It's pretty interesting!" Marshall grins and I guess that was how we started being friends and stuck together till' high school.
Well, that's that.
I am in the library right now and I could feel that I was being watched. I'm really being watched.
Our Gumball has apparently noticed Fionna's stares.
I wonder if I'm the type that people hate that much. I mean, I come here every day and it must be really annoying for her because I'm adding load to her job. Also, maybe she likes my seat…
But he has interpreted this completely wrong.
We were finishing PhysEd and I was drinking orange marmalade. Nothing beats orange marmalade after sweating. I noticed that Marshall was looking at someone and was looking at her longingly. It was the girl who had blonde hair.
"Something wrong with that person, Marshall?" I asked curiously.
"Huh?" he replied as he snapped out of it and his face immediately reddens.
"What's with that reaction?" I asked in a monotone voice.
"Is there something strange about me?" he replies, apparently flustered. He was even unaware he was blushing.
"Isn't that person…." I paused to think about the girl who ran away just now.
"You know her?" he asks in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, she's a library committee member." I replied. I wanted to add: "Who always glares at me," but I left it out.
"Um…" I paused as I thought about her name.
"It's Fionna! From Class Lollipop!" he exclaimed. He suddenly grabs my shoulders and looks at me hard, "You should at least know her name. I'm begging you."
"Err, okay." Why was Marshall so desperate?
Aren't they such a stupid couple?
"Fionna?"
"What is it?" she asks in an annoyed tone and when she saw me she gets this surprised look in her eyes.
"Weren't you going to say something to me a while ago?" I asked referring to the moment when we were in the library.
"W-what? How do you know my name?" she asked.
"I asked Marshall since he knows everyone here so I know it." I reply. And he begged me to remember it.
"I go to the library everyday and you seem to be there too and you always seem to go near the shelves near where I'm sitting. Maybe you like my seat so I was wondering maybe you hate me occupying that place since the lighting there is better." I continued.
"No! I don't think of you in that way at all!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Oh good, now I can sleep soundly. Bye." I say. At least she doesn't hate me. Thank Goodness.
And fir a moment a thought came to me, I think Fionna likes Marshall…
Gumball is a dense person. Even though he's dense, he realizes things at unnecessary times and this becomes a problem. And so…
"Morning Fionna." I greeted and she looks at me with a surprised face.
"Gumball!"
"Yeah, I know. Are you free after school?" I ask her and she nods vigorously.
Well, I didn't expect her to accept this so willingly.
(After school)
"Is something wrong? I mean, this is kind of surprising that you invited me." She asks as we walk in the corridor.
"I thought we could go to the Music Club. It's pretty cool to see them practice you know." I reply matter-of-factly. We were heading to the Music club which was near the gym.
This seems like a good moment to talk about Marshall, "Do you know someone named Marshall in my class?" I asked her. She stays silent for a while and nods, "Sort of."
I better start praising Marshall, "Marshall belongs to the Music Club and he's really cool when he's singing or playing!"
"Err, is there something about that person?" she asks nervously. I decided to break the ice, "Yeah. Is a person like Marshall the type of person you like?" "Umm.. I don't like him." She replies bluntly.
"I see." My phone rings and I check the message, "I have things to do so I will be leaving now.."
"Is that so? Sorry for the bother.." she replies.
I headed back as I silently hoped for Marshall's happiness.
Good luck, Marshall. Do your best.
I was walking behind school as I thought of Marshall and Fionna dating. Fionna seems like an interesting person so it would be good if things go well between them.
I continued leisurely until someone bumped me causing me to lose my balance. "Oww," I muttered while touching my throbbing forehead and focused to see who I bumped into.
"Sorry−wait, Fionna?" I asked and touched her forehead and saw a red mark in it.
"Are you all right?" I asked and saw her crying. It must've hurt a lot.
I looked around to look for my glasses and put it on, "Gumball! Do you have a person you like?" Fionna asks out of the blue.
"Eh?"
I pondered for a moment, "I guess it's…"
"I guess Marshall is the person I like most at the moment?" I replied.
Gumball really doesn't know the inner workings of a person's mind.
"Pfft!" I heard Marshall laugh and saw Fionna glaring at him.
"I hate you!" she screamed and ran away.
"Oh? You were here Marshall?" I noticed that Marshall was beside me, crouching. "I thought you had club activities?"
"No, it's fine." He replied somewhat dejectedly.
I wonder if everything will work out?
Running. "That stupid messy black hair!"
Troubled. "Ugh, my stomach feels kind of bad."
Puzzled. "I wonder what happened to Fionna?"
And so everyone is fumbling and tugging the red thread on their finger. That means, for this three..
We were heading to our next class when we bump into someone.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Marshall apologizes and notices that it was Fionna he bumped.
"Are you..?" Marshall asks in a worried tone at Fionna who glares at him and surprises him.
"Are you all right, Fionna?" I ask.
"Please don't let it bother you!" she replies happily.
"What's with that?!" Marshall exclaims angrily.
"Shut up, messy black hair!" Fionna replies back in the same tone.
Ah, they get along well… I stop the smile that forms on my face as an idea pops out in my mind.
Fionna is thinking this: "I'll defeat that messy black hair. I can't lose to a man!"
Marshall is thinking this: "Ahh, my stomach is still hurting! Come to think of it, my heart is hurting too. Why is she so hostile to me?"
Gumball is thinking this: "If I invite Fionna to lunch, I think the two of them will get along this time."
The red thread is starting to get entangled. The unrequited love triangle won't work out.
