*The Next Day*

For Naraku-stalker, my love for you travels endlessly. I love you so much. -A


Finn and Jake walked around the corner into the big grand ballroom where Princess Bubblegum and the Vampire Queen waited for them. The two women were trying to stay a decent distance away from each other so as to not give anything away but as they waited, it became harder for the princess to do so and they had just dropped their hands as the two boys walked in.

"Hey B!" shouted Finn across the room and he sped into a jog to run over to them.

"Hello Finn" smiled the Princess politely. Finn shot a glance towards Marceline, uncertain of why she was there or why they were so close when he and Jake had walked in. It wasn't that he was afraid of the Vampire Queen, it was more that he just thought she thought she was better than everyone and that she was so funny, he was funnier than she was. As he was thinking this and smiling at the Princess, Marceline had caught his glance and smirked at what she knew he was thinking, she moved just that much closer to the princess and earned another glance her way. "What is this meeting about Finn? Is something wrong?" Finn looked back at Bubblegum and his face flushed.

"I actually was hoping to get you alone so I could ask you something…" He trailed off as his face grew darker. You've got to be kidding me! Marceline and Bubblegum thought at the same moment.

"Finn, anything you have got to say to me can be said in front of Marceline, she is a friend afterall." The young boy pouted but tried to work up his courage. Before he could get anything out his best friend, Jake spoke up.

"You see princess, Finn here was wondering if you would go on a date with him this Wednesday." Finn's face flushed again as the princess spoke.

"Oh...well, Finn I would love to but I have allot of work for the week and it all has to be done by next Monday or I would. I'm sorry." The princess meant it that she was sorry but at the same time she really didn't want to go out with Finn, sure he was heroic and sweet and could be funny but she just had another person in mind…

"Oh…" Finn's face fell to the floor and he started to turn around when Marceline threw in,

"Maybe next time kid." Finn usually wasn't known for getting angry at people, especially girls but the Queen made his blood boil and he didn't know why. He breathed out and said to Jake"let's go" before walking out, not turning around to say goodbye. As he turned the corner Marceline floated closer to the candy princess and pulled her closer by her hips, breathing down her neck and trailing her tongue near her ear. Shivers went through the princess and down her spine as the vampire put gray hands on her and yanked her forward. A giggle escaped her lips and she moved closer still.

"Why did you deny the boy?" Marceline jested as she kissed the jugular vein in the pink neck. Her fangs started to reveal themselves, her mind telling her to sink her teeth into the soft flesh but she easily resisted and kissed it again. Bubblegum panted slightly and replied,

"He's not really my type." With that Marceline placed her cold lips against the warm, red lips of her princess and kissed her passionately. Just as this happened Finn was feeling bad for not at least saying goodbye to the princess and was walking back to apologize. As he stepped in the room he saw Marceline holding the princess and then watched as they exchanged a long, deep kiss. Unable to say anything he watched as the Vampire Queen's hands roamed the pink body greedily. Jake caught up with Finn and stared in awe with Finn at what was happening.

"Oh man!" Jake finally cried out in the echoing room. Bubblegum pulled away quickly and her face blushed a deep shade of red. A scowl crossed the Queen's face at being interrupted but pulled her hands regretfully from the slim body.

"Finn! Jake!" was all the princess could manage before her face turned a deep crimson, as red as the vampire's eyes.

"Princess," Jake said, "I didn't know you were that type!" He laughed and looked over at Marceline and smiled. Finn looked uncertain at first but then broke into a grin. He realized it wasn't his fault that the princess had rejected him, she just wasn't into guys.

"Why didn't you tell us!" Finn questioned as he ran back over and high fived both girls, any hate for the Queen vanished. Marceline shrugged and Princess Bubblegum blushed again.

"Aww man! This is so cool, we can all do sorts of stuff together now!" said Jake, "Finn can get with the Flame Princess and me and Lady Rainicorn and we can all triple date!"

"That would be so cool!" cried Finn enthusiastically.

"Wait, Finn, please don't tell anyone, I want to do it. Please?" Bubblegum blurted quickly, blushing again.

"Oh sure, no problem! See you later Princess!"

"Yeah, your secret is safe with us!" Jake joined in and they left.

"That was a close one." The Princess breathed out in a sigh of relief. Without a word, Marceline swept Bonnie up in her arms, carried her through the long halls until they were to her chambers, kicking open the door she gently placed the princess on her bed. "Mar-" She couldn't finish her words because gray lips had silenced the pink ones. They lied in bed all afternoon talking and kissing and holding eachother until finally it came around six and Peppermint Butler was walking down the hallway to the door, in search of the princess.
