They spent the next few months searching for survivors and food. Marceline was driven near insane with hunger, she even tried feeding off of Buu but found his blood was the same pink goop the rest of his body was made of. Reading through the book her dad left her, she learned Vampires drink blood for different reasons; some needed the iron, a few fed off the sugar in peoples blood, and some like her father just liked sucking the life out of people, which is why he sucked out creatures' souls. Following this logic Marceline found she could survive on the color red. Unable to find the survivors that all she could use to sustain herself.
One night Buu and Marceline traveled across ruins of a large city, it was the most complete city they'd ever found but after several hours of searching they found that no humans were there either. Soon Buu was once again complaining about his stomachache, which was made even worse for him because they were in a candy store. Marceline drained the stripes off a peppermint and tossed it to him.
"Eat this; it might make you feel better." Buu ate it and found he did feel a tiny bit better. "Did that help any?"
"Little." They drained and ate an entire jar full of peppermints. "Buu want more."
"Sorry I only found one jar."
"Buu want a peppermint!" His antenna stood up which made Marceline to float backwards a bit. The pink beam fired at the ground before them and there stood a giant peppermint or a small man in a cute little blue suit, either way of looking at it was right. Buu picked him up, disregarding that he was alive and was about to eat him.
"Wait sir, do you know there's a type of candy you're not supposed to eat?" Buu looked at the little peppermint man and nodded.
"Yes, the candy girls keep in purses that are named after days of the week." The two gave Buu a look.
"That's right but you should also never ever eat candy that can talk." Buu shuddered, remembering when Super Buu tried eating a talking piece of candy.
"Hey you can talk." Buu said as if making a grand discovery
"Well what do you know, I guess I can." With that Buu put the peppermint man back down.
"Who are you and how are you alive?" Marceline asked wary of the talking candy.
"My name is Peppermint Butler I'm alive because Buu has the power to alter living and nonliving things, and with The Lich's near limitless soul based energies added to his own, he can create life from nothingness. It's quite a fitting contrary to The Lich, who had the power to turn life into nothingness if I do say so myself."
"Okay, hold on, you're saying Buu could create life from anything?" Peppermint Butler nodded,
"He can give life to anything and he can create a vessel to put life into."
"So he could rebuild the world?" They looked at the large child like creature who sniffed a rock and then attempted to eat it.
"Yes but it wouldn't be the world you knew, he's sweet and innocent, the world he'd make would be completely in his image, or possibly, possibly how you suggest."
"We've been searching for survivors for months; I'm starting to think there aren't any. I say we give Buu a shot at remaking the world."
"I didn't say you shouldn't, I just wanted to give you fair warning."
"Fine," She picked up Peppermint Butler and began to fly, "Buu follow me." Buu did until they were several miles above the ground. "Okay Buu I want you to point down your head tail thing-"
"Antenna," Peppermint Butler suggested.
"Sure your antenna, I want you to point it at the ground and try to make a city, a giant city filled with people."
"Okay Buu try." Buu bathed the ground in the pink light for nearly a minute, when he was done the landscape was completely covered with a brand new one. There was a giant colorful city surrounded by a lush pink forest, it looked like something out of a children's story book. Buu gasped in awe of his creation simply saying, "Ooo." He flew down to take a better look, Marceline followed. When they touched down on the ground they realized every 'person' in the city was some form of candy or pastry. Buu drooled at the sight "Ca-can you all talk?" He got several responses which saddened him because it meant he couldn't eat any of them. Marceline looked at Buu and shook her head.
"You made an entire kingdom of candy? Why am I not surprised?" Peppermint Butler leaped from her arms and greeted his people.
"People of the Candy Kingdom, within the Land of Ooo, I am Peppermint Butler humble servant of your king and creator, the powerful Lord Buu." He gestured to his master, who waved at his subjects with a smile.
"Is he made of bubble gum?" a talking cinnamon bun shouted.
"Pretty much," Marceline answered.
"All hail Lord Buu!" someone shouted which was met by cheers from everyone else.
That day they slept in the castle, on actual beds, except for Buu, who realized all his furniture was made of candy and ate it, he then fell asleep while lying on the ground licking the floor. They spent the next week in the candy kingdom and found that when the city was created the people had jobs, houses, and farm lands filled with candy crops, (Marceline didn't tell Buu about the crops) the kingdom had it's every need provided for. That's why Marceline suggested to Buu that they leave to make more cities. Buu liked the idea of more adorable kingdoms. Another reason was his stomach hurt a lot less since he made that city. So after making Duke Donut to watch over things, Buu, Marceline, and Peppermint Butler began their travels across the Earth to convert it all to the Land of Ooo.
