Marceline woke up feeling groggy; she hadn't slept well because Bonnie's voice and words had been whirring through her mind all night. After 200 years she thought she'd have learned to move on but even though they had split up their chemistry still burned.

She brushed the hair out of her face yawning heavily. She had recently cut it to a shoulder length bob which she kept straight. It was easier to clean and keep tidy and it had gotten rid of the neck aches her long hair had caused.

"I suppose I should get up; Bonnie will be waiting for me and she is an early riser" Marcie muttered sleepily. Back in the past bonnie would often wake her up by making food in the kitchen at early hours. She was surprised at her early bird nature considering she wore herself out with her giant brain.

Hesitantly Marcie dragged herself out of bed and began to walk towards the bathroom yawning wearily. God did she need some strawberry tea to wake herself up about now; and it tasted so good too.

She stripped out of her PJ's and turned on the shower and waited for the water to turn the right temperature. When it felt comfortable she climbed under the hot spray of water and closed the curtain.

A long sigh escaped her lips as the hot water cascaded over her body; it felt good to be clean and not covered in sweat and grease. She enjoyed the relaxation and comfort that came with taking a shower in the morning.

She hoped that Bonnie would approve of her new look; she hadn't exactly told bonnie about her new haircut as she always loved her long locks. However she would try and disguise it with a badass outfit.

Eventually Marceline turned off the shower and grabbed her towel and climbed out; she then slowly made her way back into the bedroom to find something to wear for her meeting with Bonnie.

"Let's see what do I feel like today?" Marceline muttered thoughtfully as she looked through her various outfits wearily.

Eventually she pulled out a black shoulder less long sleeved sweater with a white skull on the front; a grey vest top and blue jeans. It was more laid back than most of her outfits and presentable too.

Marceline looked at herself in the mirror and turned side to side thoughtfully at her attire. Eventually she smiled and nodded approvingly at her wardrobe choice.

Before leaving she pulled on a pair of black ankle boots and floated out of the window towards the candy kingdom. Luckily it was a cloudy day so she didn't need to protect herself against the sun's rays.

At Candy Kingdom

Bubblegum was sat in front of her mirror brushing her hair while humming quietly. She had recently cut it to below her shoulders as it was more appropriate to deal with. She had pulled on a pink and purple striped sweater; a pair of purple jeans and some black strapless Mary Janes.

She was pleased with her appearance but was concerned about the colour of her wardrobe and its lack of variety. Not that she hated owning all pink and purple clothes but she would have to add some other colours in there.

"Maybe if I purchased some more blue, black and yellow it'll balance out my waterfall of pink attire" Bonnie said thoughtfully. She then looked at her watch and panicked realizing that Marceline would be arriving soon.

"Crap! I can worry about it later she'll be here soon!" Bonnie cried anxiously and rushed out of her room towards the throne room. She had asked Marceline to meet her there in order for them to walk around the castle and clear their chests.

Peppermint Butler was on his way to her room but was surprised with the door slamming into his face and knocking him over "Look out you fool!" he snapped crossly.

"Sorry PB I have a previous engagement" Bonnie apologized quickly as she rushed down the halls to meet her ex GF.

"Princess!" Peppermint Butler cried nervously. He was more terrified of losing his job than his injuries and the way he had spoken could get him punished severely.

Before he could respond she had vanished off down the halls "I wonder what could be wrong with her highness? The castle is safe and we have no events planned; Finn and Jake have not been summoned...so what is wrong?" he pondered curiously.

In throne room

Marceline stood awkwardly in the throne room humming the "Fries" song about her dad quietly. It helped her pass the time till Bonnie showed up and stopped her from panicking and looking like a dweeb.

"MARCIE!" Bonnie cried loudly appearing behind her from a curtain leading somewhere into the castle. She was panting slightly and out of breath from trying to hurry to meet her; she had hoped to be on time but things rarely went her way.

Marceline was taken aback by Bonnie's sudden appearance and her quick pace. I mean usually she was so laid back and calm but now she was all nervous and awkward it was quite unlike her.

"Hey Bon-Bon it's been a while; sorry for showing up so early I wanted to take advantage of the weather before the sun came out" Marceline apologized awkwardly.

Bonnie neatened her appearance then stood up straight "Its fine I'm glad you did; it means we have more time to talk" she said gratefully.

The pair smiled at each other politely; it had been a LONG time since they were alone together. 3 years at least since they were in a situation like this; I mean yeah they hung out and such but not in a romantic way.

"I was thinking about taking a walk; care to follow me" Bonnie said sweetly pointing to another hallway that led along the way to the library and other important rooms.

"Sure; but why that way?" Marceline asked curiously; usually she would have led her to the bathroom or her room.

Bonnie sighed heavily "Peppermint Butler is that way and I don't want him interfering" she said firmly. She appreciated his help but sometimes he overstepped his bounds and interfered with her personal life way too much.

"Ah...that makes sense" Marceline said thoughtfully. She knew PB was a friend of her dads but she hated now nosy and stuck up he was it was so annoying. He also had a grade A superiority complex considering he was a butler.

She followed Bonnie down the hallway quietly floating beside her quietly. She was capable of walking but floating was so much easier. That and it kept her shoes clean which was a bonus.

There was an awkward silence between the two of them for a while; they both had so much on their minds but finding something to say was damn near impossible due to the tension.

"I...I like your new haircut" Bonnie said eventually her voice filled with nerves. She knew Marceline would never say something normal if she spoke up; when she was nervous she always spoke utter nonsense.

"Really? I was worried it looked too short and I did enjoy styling it now and again" Marceline said nervously fingering the tips of her hair shyly.

Bonnie shook her head "No it suits you; it frames your face and makes you look mature and sassy" she said gently a subtle blush tinting her cheeks.

"Still a mushy talker" Marceline joked bashfully rubbing her head nervously. She did appreciate the compliment she just got all shy when people did as she was not used to it.

"I know but it helps to get out of heated situations during politics" Bonnie joked sticking out her tongue playfully.

"I can imagine" Marceline chuckled in amusement. She had been to a meeting once with Bonnie and just about died from boredom; when it eventually finished she had been asleep in the corner.

"So how's your music coming? Any good songs written recently?" Bonnie asked curiously. She never said it out loud but she did think Marceline's music was pretty good and so raw and full of emotion.

"Not yet; I'm taking a creative break at the minute as I was having a creative block" Marceline said casually.

"I know how you feel; my nerdy brain is on standby as I'm hitting duds at the minute" Bonnie sighed heavily.

Marceline smiled in amusement "So even geniuses' get a creative block" she teased playfully. She was so used to Bonnie having an answer for everything that it was nice to see the tables turned.

Bonnie blushed "Yeah just don't tell anyone; If breakfast princess or LSP knew they'd gossip nonstop" she begged gently.

"You got it PB" Marceline said cheekily pointing at her. She loved teasing Bonnie but would never snitch to people like breakfast Princess or LSP.

LSP was fun to hang out with; but she had a major gossip problem and an attitude that you either loved or hated depending on which side you met. That often caused more trouble than it was worth but she was good fun none-the less.

Breakfast princess was a know it all; who always had to know best and had a hissy fit over everything. She was stuck up and often told rumours or gossiped behind other princesses backs.

Bonnie smiled gratefully; Marceline may have worked her nerves sometimes but she was reliable and loyal. She never told secrets unless necessary and kept a promise even if it killed her "Thanks Marcie you're the best" Bonnie said fondly.

Marceline smirked mischievously "Best at what exactly?" she teased flicking out her tongue and winking at Bonnie.

Bonnie blushed wildly "Gaaah!" she cried loudly. She knew exactly at what Marcie was getting at but she didn't want to talk about that right now. She needed to tell her the truth about how she felt.

"You love it" Marceline chuckled in amusement. It hadn't changed; Bonnie was still so easy to wind up. It was both amusing and adorable at the same time.

Bonnie tucked a strand of her pink hair behind her ear nervously; Marceline knew exactly what to say to get under her skin and it made her all tingly inside *Giggity*

"So have you been seeing anyone lately?" Bonnie asked casually her tone nervous. Back when they were dating Marceline was very popular with both genders but made it clear she was the loyal type.

"No not really; I mean I've had a few odd hook-ups and offers from my dad but nothing serious" Marceline said awkwardly rubbing the back of her head uncomfortably.

"I see" Bonnie said quietly. Even though they weren't together anymore Bonnie still got jealous of other people Marceline would date; God she was so immature.

"And yourself?" Marceline asked curiously. She wanted to know if her ex-girlfriend had been popular since their breakup and if Finn was still chasing her.

"Not really; I mean Finn used to have an innocent crush and I've had many guys try to ask me out but nothing serious..." Bonnie said quietly her tone sad.

Marceline gave her a sympathetic look; she knew Bonnie was a catch but she knew it was hard that only guys took and interest and not the gender she was actually interested in.

Bonnie laughed fondly "...You were the only girl who actually paid me any attention" she said quietly.

Bonnie and Marceline smiled at each other kindly; even after all these years it felt good to catch up and talk to each other like this. They had missed each other's company and just being around each other...it felt nice.

Eventually they reached a hallway which led towards the lab where Bonnie did her research and experimented for new weapons and technology. It was her own personal "Geek cave" as Marceline had put it.

"You wanna take a peek? I mean for old time's sake?" Bonnie asked curiously. Back then Marceline would sit in the corner with her red snacks while Bonnie studied and would pester her until she cracked and gave in.

"Sure; hopefully you've redecorated by now" Marceline teased cheekily sticking out her tongue again.

"Hey!" Bonnie yelled playfully punching Marcie's arm. She was enjoying the jokes; it was kind of like old times.

She eventually opened the door by applying her key code to get in and out. The only other person that new was Peppermint butler who was her most trusted advisor.

Marceline stepped inside and Bonnie followed quietly; hoping she would be impressed. I mean she had made changes since its drab starting.

"It's very...green" Marceline said casually her tone hinted with surprise. She would have though Bonnie would have made it pink like everything else in the castle.

"Yeah it felt more nerdy than my usual pink garb. It's a nice change TBH; the only pink items in here are me and my lava lamp" Bonnie said cheerfully.

She sat down on a desk while Marceline looked around; it never ceased to amuse her how curious and amazed Marcie got around her science based lifestyle.

She hoped they could spend more time like this more often. Just like they used to before everything went bad; before the hurt; before the tears and before the mess.

Bonnie bowed her head quietly clenching her hands on the desk nervously; her heart began to race under her chest and she took a deep breath. "Marcie?" Bonnie said curiously.

"Hmm?" Marceline mumbled as she poked around Bonnie's lab; How could one girl own so many books? It was almost insane about how much dust these could collect.

"How do you feel about me?" Bonnie asked bluntly her tone solemn and mature. She didn't want to play games she wanted to know the truth of what she meant to Marceline.

"Eh?!" Marceline cried out in shock nearly dropping a book. She hadn't expected a question like that from Bonnie not after all this time.

Bonnie looked at her quietly her face serious; she didn't know when she would be alone like this with Marcie again and she needed to know the truth.

"I...well...that is..." Marceline stammered nervously. God Bonnie had dropped quite the bombshell here; way to leave a girl speechless.

Bonnie sighed heavily "I know I hurt you Marceline and I won't deny it; I put my duties as a ruler before you and that was cruel. I was just under so much pressure that I couldn't handle it. On top of that I was managing your band the scream queens and creating the Gumball guardians. But I miss you Marcie; I miss spending time with you and just being with you" Bonnie admitted sadly her eyes teary.

Marceline was in awe; she had never expected Bonnie to admit her faults and be this honest. Usually Bonnie would deny everything and say that she was to blame for coaxing her into things. She really had grown up since their relationship back then; it was quite admirable.

"And you?" Bonnie asked hopefully her eyes staring intently into Marceline's own indigo eyes.

Marceline lowered herself to the ground and sat in a pretzel knot thoughtfully. Geez how was she supposed to say everything she felt at once? She had so much to say and didn't know how to say it.

Bonnie was a one of a kind girl; she was cute and funny and adorable all at once. She was a huge nerd but a very hot one at that. She was kind and understanding and hard to take seriously when she was mad sometimes; others she was quite formidable.

"I miss waking up to your sleeping face in the morning..." Marceline started slowly her voice gentle. "...I miss your embarrassed face when you mess up something in front of others, I miss teasing you about the little things, I miss cuddling on the sofa on movie nights, I miss making music with you, I miss how you'd wake me up randomly sometimes and act all embarrassed and shy...but most of all I miss your smell and taste" *Giggity* Marceline said solemnly her voice filled with sadness and loneliness.

The pair looked up at each other and gazed into each other's eyes quietly. This felt so right being together; being stupid, messing about, sharing hobbies and seeing each other. Gentle smiles of fondness spread across their faces as they looked at each other.

"Bonnie..." Marceline said quietly her voice filled with shyness. She hadn't said this in a while but it felt like the right moment.

"What?" Bonnie asked curiously her tone hopeful. She hoped it would be those 3 words she had missed the most. Marceline was the only person she wanted to hear them from.

"I love you" Marceline said tenderly her cheeks turning red with shyness. She knew she was being mushy but she didn't care. Besides only Bonnie was here to see her like this and that was her personal secret.

Bonnie smiled fondly and got up from her chair slowly; she walked over to Marceline and took her cheeks in her hands. She leaned forward and kissed the Vampire Queen on the lips lovingly.

Marceline was taken aback by Bonnie's bold actions but didn't resist. She just sat there blushing her face off while the Princess of the candy kingdom made out with her.

Eventually Bonnie pulled away slowly and smiled at Bonnie still cupping her cheeks in her hands "I love you too Marcie".
