Chapter 2: Accident

"Is it done yet?!" Marceline asked her friend, louder than she had expected her message to be delievered.

"No...but almost," a reply came after two short moments. Although the voice had a really reassuring hint into it, the vampire couldn't help but huff in annoyance. And frustration. And maybe boredom. Nope, definitely boredom.

The vampiric queen scanned her surroundings. There was a metal-hard door made from some sort of candy, a glass cabinet with a plenty of apparatuses inside, a shelf, a messy table trashed with blueprints and crumpled paper and the portal.

The vampire queen sighed to herself and tried to grab her bass-

'...which I left in my house from all the hurry...'

Marceline scowled at the thought of her, the awesomest and most radical dame in ALL of Ooo, forgot her most important treasure, her axe bass.

She sighed and was about to sleep when she thought she felt a small tap on her hand. She looked and saw a rather cute candy corn rat.

"Umm, Bonnie your-" Marceline was cut off when an early reply came.

"Almost...just wait for three more minutes and I'll be done.'

The queen looked rather amused than annoyed from the fact the princess has the wrong message. But now fully knowing that the portal'll be done in about three more minutes, the queen felt herself glad. Well, now she knew she'll just have to suffer boredom for three more minutes. Or maybe not.

'I'll just need to cut the excess wire and then set the polarity just about...there and then it's done! I'll just have to get my screwdriver and hamme-'

Squeak! Squeak! SQUEAK!

The princess looked at where that noise came from and almost lost herself in anger. Just infront of her, stood Marceline, who has transformed to look like a cat-like monster, the princess' pet on her hands/paws, chocking it to death.

"MARCELINE!"

Caught off guard, Marceline jumped in complete surprise and transformed herself back. Her hand loosened letting Science escape and retreat behind her master. The princess took the mouse by her hand and glared at the vampiric queen.

"What?" Marceline innocently asked.

Bubblegum seethed as a nerve popped on her forehead. "You almost killed Science!"

"Ki-killed?" Marceline couldn't help but blink in confusion, "How low do you think I go? No, I was not trying to kill the rat."

"It is NOT a RAT! It's a CANDY CORN..." the princess looked at her pet and once more, continued with her rant, "...rat!"

Marceline couldn't supress a laugh.

"What difference? It's still a rat. But anyhow, for your information, I wasn't killing or trying to kill 'Science," the queen rolled her eyes, "I was going to eat it. Duh."

Bubblegum stood up, her eyes almost as if on fire.

"Why you little-"

(Science: Just for general safety, the author skipped this part.)

Marceline laughed.

(Science: Oh wait, false alarm.)

"WHAT?!" the pink princess, her cheeks flaring with a deep scarlet.

"Oh -hahaha- n-nothing -hehehehee-. I-it's just be-be -hahahahaha- because you don't know what -hehee- you w-were practically saying! Hahahahaheheheee!"

Now the pink princess was confused. Not know? "What?"

Marceline was still laughing her guts out when she heard the confused question of her friend."Seriously. You STILL don't know what the difference of damnation, tarnation and carnation is."

"So?"

"Oooh, nothing." Marceline smiled sweetly, her eyes showing a mischeavous smirk making the princess huff in annoyance, her anger almost faded.

"Fine. Anyway, I'll start the portal and you can try going inside it for exactly three minutes and seventeen seconds."

Hearing that, the vampire jumped almost too eagerly, as her head bumped against the ceiling. Bubblegum's only reply was a roll of her eyes.

"When shall we start?"

"In five more minutes." The vampirice queen almost fell over. FIVE. MORE. MINUTES. "Marceline, give me a break. I never actually had time to finish the portal since you had to present that show of yours."

Only reply, Marceline huffed. Mostly to herself.

"So if you want to finish this faster than five minutes, then get your butt here this instant and give me a hand."

And like magic, the queen just nodded and went to the princess' side.

"Remember what I told you. Only get information of the soil but be back in the needed time. Seriously, this is just a test jump."

The warning didn't reach her ear as she was almost made deaf by the screeching noise of the machine. Although that part aside, she had completely been giddy and excited that she could never focus on the call.

The portal eminated a safe-looking light, the deafening sound softened into the electronic beeping of the machine. Marceline looked at the princess who nodded and turned back to the portal. First, right leg then the other, half of her body already through the portal.

But that was when the sound started.

SCREECH! CRASH! BANG! KRINGGG!

The white light shined brighter with a few sparks here and there. The sound almost unbearable as a scream synchronised with it.

'Marceline!' Bubblegum realized. She quickly shut down the portal, the bright light and screeching sound stopped on the signal. She looked back at her friend, who was sweating like crazy.

"That was close."

"Too close if you tell me."

Marceline wiped her forehead, feeling her sticky sweat. She sighed, almost relieved the portal had gone wrong. She sighed as she floated out of the portal.

"A part of the machine has been severely damaged. I really couldn't make out why but..."

The pink princess didn't finish as she noticed something peculiar about her friend.

"Umm, Marceline?"

"Hmm?"

"Umm, did you put powder when you came here? You looked...ugh, all glossed up."

It was true. Marceline twirled around noticing how her skin was shimmery and glossy. She dashed over to the nearest mirror, curiousity pushing her to look. She looked at the mirror, her reflection seen nowhere, almost to her spirits dampening.

'Does vampire ring a bell to you, Marcy?'

Okay, yes, she knows. But that wasn't the thing she was looking for. Inching a mirror until she felt the coldness of the glass, she inspected the mirror closely. But to her dismay, no white powder stuff or substance covered her face.

"Maybe it was just the smoke or something."

Bonnibel shrugged, although it really intrigued her. Anywho, she scanned over the keyboard, just in case she typed the wrong command. Of course, there wasn't any flaw. She scanned over the big metalic thingy, looking at the multiple levers. Nothing seems suspicious.

She sighed in defeat. Excluding the two times she caused her candy citizens to be zombies and the one time her experiment became Lemon Grab, this was her most obviously hated failure. She leaned backward against what she thought was a wall an-

SNAP!

As she heard that sound, she was ultimately sure that she was going to fall down. And she did. She landed with an 'oomph' and her hand caught the edge of a table. As she gripped the edge, she heard a clicking sound. Now, fully standing, she looked at the desk just to see her finger pressing the 'Enter' button of the keyboard.

'Uh-oh.'

She looked towards her friend and stood, frightened. Marceline was glowing. She was GLOWING! Marceline looked at her friend with a confused reaction. But then it became more of a concrete shock as her body swiftly vanished. She again looked at her friend, pleading until she was gone. Not a trace to be found. And what's worse was the portal was destroyed.

Swiftly, the pink princess looked at the lever that she had just broken. With wide-eyes, she read its label.

PORTAL-MACHINE LEVER

Only use this lever for dimension-hopping. Not reccomended for emergencies, plain desire to see another world and most certainly not good for researches. Branded IKP, AFTW and RJ-NSGWI.

Made by: ...her...nd..ce King.

There was only one King she knew who had the letters 'c' and 'e' in his title. And this could only mean one thing.

"FINN!"
