"I had never been so jealous of anyone. I just felt as if Fionna was my competition for your heart, but in the end she won. I'll admit she was fun, an adventurer and beautiful and I could understand why you chose to marry her."

Marshall heard a twig snap and turned around to see a short figure walking towards him.

"Hey, Sugar." Cake said.

Cake survived the battle from earlier years but even Marshall could tell her age was getting to her and she would only live for a few years.

"H-Hey Cake." Marshall stuttered questioning how much Cake had heard before he noticed her.

"It's okay Marshall I knew about your love for Gumball." She stated casually.

"But how?" Marshall asked honestly confused.

"Do you remember Gumball's nineteenth birthday." Cake asked with a small smile.

Marshall's cheeks became warm at the memory.

Today was Gumball's birthday and a large party was throne within the castle. It seems everyone was there from candy people to the banana guards. Of course Fionna and Cake had shown up. Cake had somehow gotten Fionna to wear a dress and carry a purse. Marshall stuck with wearing his red-colored plaid shirt and jeans, at least he was comfortable.

"Hi Marshall!" Fionna exclaimed.

"What's up Fionna?"

"Cake put me in this dress and it looks and feels so weird on me."

"So, trying to impress someone?"

Marshall knew Fionna liked Gumball, not the way the vampire loved him, and teased her from time to time for it.

"N-No! I told you Cake put me in this stupid thing." She said while tugging at the dress and walking away.

The party was fun and lively. The prince even made a speech about something on how age is nothing but a number. Marshall zoned out completely, besides Gumball had promised to come and see Marshall personally after the party was over. They planned to go over to Marshall's house and just relax and probably pass out. The vampire was currently sitting on Gumball's balcony waiting for him.

"I'm ready to go." Gumball said as he was stepping out of his room.

The prince had changed out of his royal clothing and into a dark pink hoodie, jeans and gym shoes. He was had a bag slung over his shoulder.

"What's in the bag?" Marshall questioned.

"A body." The prince answered sarcastically while rolling his eyes.

"Seriously?"

"No, it's a change of clothes."

"Why?"

"Because every time I visit you I end up falling asleep and then the kingdom freaks out trying to find me. You don't possess chloroform, do you?"

"Nope, you're just more comfortable at my house than your own bed."

"Just shut up and let's go."

"Whatever you say."

Once they made it to Marshall's house, Gumball immediately sat down on the coach in the living room while Marshall floated near him.

"I'm bored." Marshall said breaking the silence and floating the kitchen to get few of the endless amounts of apples he had in it. He went back to where Gumball was sitting and began to 'eat' his apples.

"We've been here for all of five seconds and it's your own home. Find something to do."

"I want you to entertain me."

"How?"

"I don't know. Ask questions, help me write a new song, the possibilities are endless when you're at my house."

"They sound pretty limited to me."

"Wanna play a game?"

"Like what?"

"The Truth."

"…Fine, how do you play?"

"You have to answer the past player's question at first, then you could ask a question to next player but, you have to answer the question truthfully."

"Okay, you start."

"Hmmm…do you honestly like the parties the kingdom throws you every year?"

"No, they are expensive and hard to clean up afterwards."

"Fair enough, your turn."

"How did you become a vampire?"

"Well, you see, I have these two bite marks on my neck, so I was bitten by one."

"That's not what I meant."

He remembered how he got it, he was with his mom in the Nightosphere when he got lost and was attacked. He was still a young child."

"I prefer not to talk about it.

"Sorry, you can ask me a personal question."

"Do you like Fionna?"

"Yea, she's a great friend and adventurer."

"No, I mean do you like her more than that."

"Oh, maybe if she was a bit older or matured a little bit. Right now she acts likes a teenager to me."

"She is…and so are you."

"You know what I mean, so, yes I like Fionna, but only a little."

"You liar."

"Seriously, it's only crush, nothing more and nothing less, anyway it's my turn."

"Fire away."

"Have you ever had sex with anyone?"
