"I-" Marceline stuttered while rubbing the back of her neck.
Bubblegum stood there, with a blush on her face.
She's so damn cute.
"I-. She—she said, it's okay, she go-got rejected… and that's all. Hehehe" Marceline faked a laugh
"OH, it's pretty bad for your friend then." Bubblegum frowned.
"Well, I-I'll see you tomorrow!" Marceline said then she waved goodbye
Do you really have to be that dense Marceline? I really like you! How can you not observe these feelings, the signs that I want—
"To show you and stuff." Marshall joined in
"Yes…. WAIT! YOU CAN READ MY MIND?!" Bubblegum yelped
Marshall laughed and was knocked off by Gumball saying "Stop it Marsh, sheeesh."
"You dudes….and duddette!" Jake joined in
"Greetings my friend, you must be wondering why we're here." Gumball said.
"Well yeah, Marshall called me here, so I just went along, Lady's with her parents anyways." Jake said.
"Why are you all here again?" Bubblegum asked.
"We're here to help you with Marceline." Marshall smirked.
Meanwhile…
Marceline went to her locker, it's been like a day since she opened her locker, when she opened it, she saw the usual things, like Love letters, flowers, chocolates, but something caught her attention, a very unusual pink letter.
"It's been here already?" Marceline said. Thinking it was Luka's reply to her last letter
But….. It was not Luka's letter. She opened it, and she saw a very familiar handwriting.
Dear Marceline,
You may not know me yet, but I am hoping for you to like me back, I kind of suck at writing these things, since I am not really fond of such letter, but please do understand that I do love you and I am hoping for you to return these feelings, I don't want you to know me… NO, not just yet. I'm not ready to stand up for myself, I am not ready to stand-up in front of you and confessed these unrequited feelings of mine.
Always and Forever,
Your secret admirer
Marceline smirked to herself then she went to a nearby trash can and she threw it.
Heh, no one can ever fool me base from my past experience. Unrequited feelings huh? What does that even mean?
Marceline went off with a smirk on her face.
Back at Bubblegum….
"YOU WROTE WHAT?!" Bubblegum yelled
"Sorry about that dear sister, but this friend of yours and ours has decided the things." Gumball said.
"YOU-MADE ME THINK THAT SHE LIKES ME BACK TOO!" Bubblegum said with an angered voice.
"Whoa, I'm sorry alright? I'm sorry, but trust me. She really likes you!" Marshall said.
Jake stood there idly and then he said. "Okay, so why am I here?"
"Oh yes. What is HE doing here?" Bubblegum stiffened herself and scowled at Marshall
"Again, we'll need your advice." Marshall said.
"Okay so what advice?"
"About, this…. We want Marceline to realize her feelings towards Bubblegum, but …. This girl over here is too stubborn to confess." Marshall said as he pointed out to Bubblegum
"HEY…. It- It's not easy!" Bubblegum blushed
"Can you help us my friend?" Gumball asked.
"Heh. Okay fine, but you should give me free food every day." Jake said.
"Sure thing my friend." Gumball smiled and Jake gave the three of them a huge smirk.
"This would be a very.. very bad idea." Bubblegum thought.
Xx
(Marceline's POV)
"Well, well. What should I do? It's still 6:30 in the evening…" Marceline said to herself.
Oh yes! I remember! I should play to the bar where Keila invited me to.
When I remembered Keila, she said to me that I should hang out to the club of Ooo where rich people from Ooo would gather up there and well, listen to their random songs.
Well, since I don't have anything to do. I dialed Keila's number and this was our conversation:
"Yo! Kei?"
"Hello Marce! You finally called huh?"
"Oh yes, sorry about that… about this club.. Do you still have a space for a little bass player-"
"OH YES MARCE YES! COME IN HERE IMMEDIATELY!"
"Okay, chill. I'll be going on then. See you." I bid my farewell and went on to change my clothing.
I went to my wardrobe and I chose the clothes who were hanging on the door.
I changed to my red shirt, with a black vest, then I paired it up with an ankle leveled gray pants and with a hi-cut sneakers. Then I got my axe-bass then went to the club.
Xxxxxxxxx
(GENERAL POV)
After some weird explaining, all of them smirked except for Bubblegum who gave a sign of nervousness
"Are—you sure about these guys?" Bubblegum asked
"Well, duh." Marshall said.
"How about for commemoration for this plan of ours, we will eat and celebrate somewhere?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah man, I'm so like hungry like right now." Jake said.
"Uhh yeah, I'm kinda hungry too, let's go to this club Marcy's friend Keila used to talk to." Marshall said leading the way
"Who's Keila?" Bubblegum asked.
"Oh, Keila, she's form Marcy's ex-band the Scream Queens, no need to worry about that, they're just friends and she's in a relationship with Guy right now." Marshall said.
Bubblegum nodded her head and went on to the walking, she was in the back of the three boys who were busy about some talking and she walked, smiling to herself.
OH my, my friends support me. I hope that I'll catch her attention and I will get my true kiss from her, not as a friend, not as a benefit but as her girlfriend, her official girlfriend.
"OOOOOOOOH, what a dirty mind you got there." Marshall smirked.
"WHAT!" Bubblegum blushed furiously.
"She's guilty." Marshall whispered to Jake who was laughing.
"I HEARD THAT!" Bubblegum yelled.
"Oh yeah, so do I have to care?" Marshall said.
"YOU!"
Xxxxxxxxxxx
"MARCELINE!" Keila yelled out, hugging Marceline
"You Kei, sup?" Marceline smiled.
Keila had a tanned skin with a brown curly hair; she wore striped orange and yellow long sleeves with white shorts, then a long violet boots
"It's been like forever Marce! Come on! We'll prepare everything up!" Keila said as she led the way.
Xxxxxxxxxx
"Hey guys, we're here." Marshall said.
All of them stood there in awe… the club was huge.
"Are we really…" Jake stuttered
"Don't worry, We'll be VIP's trust me.." Marshall smirked and went to the bouncer.
The bouncer smiled and opened the door for them.
"So like guys, this club is divided into two, the other one is the classy side, and the other one is the rocky, so like what side are we on?" Marshall asked.
"Classy." Bubblegum and Gumball said in unison.
"EH, as long as there's food I'm cool." Jake said.
"Well, let's go to the classeeey!" Marshall yelled.
"Hey, you're embarrassing us, when I mean us I meant the school." Gumball said.
"What." Marshall said.
"You're wearing the school uniform as well as the school emblem.." Bubblegum said.
"Oh so?" Jake asked.
Bubblegum and Gumball face palmed themselves and gave them a very huge sigh, explaining the same things over and over again.
And after some boring explaining..
"Ohhh, I get it." Marshall said with no emotions.
"Yeah me too, so WTF?" Jake asked.
"Jake, where are your manners?!" Gumball said.
"What? I meant WHERE THE FOOD?" Jake said.
"Oh."
The four of them sat and they ordered their orders,
"You know what's cool about this place?" Marshall asked.
"And what exactly is it?" Gumball asked.
"That side, the rocky one will perform some songs, and it will be heard from here. And I guess, this night, they'll perform about some jazzy songs." Marshall said.
"Oh I see. Rad." Jake said.
On the other side….
"You okay there Marce?" Keila asked assuring her friend.
Marceline stood there in front of the band; she gave a huge grin and said. "Totally totes to perform with you guys tonight, let's bang it all out with some jazzy songs!" Marceline yelled and they yelled back.
The curtains drew out and the spotlight was on Marceline, Marceline looked to her former band mates and they gave her reassuring thumbs up and Marceline started strumming her axe-bass.
And she started singing out.
Merrily we fall out of line
Out of line
I'd fall anywhere with you
I'm by your side
Swinging in the rain
Humming melodies
We're not going anywhere until we freeze.
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid.
Forever is a long time.
Keila joined in for some melodies.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Marceline sang the solo again..
Carefully we'll place for our destiny
you came and you took this heart
And set it free.
Every word you write and sing is so warm to me.
So warm to me.
I'm torn, I'm torn
To be right where you are.
Keila joined her back for some melodies again.
I'm not afraid anymore.
I'm not afraid.
Forever is a long time.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Tell me every day
I get to wake up to that smile.
MEANWHILE (while Marceline is playing)
(Bubblegum's POV)
The singer seems so familiar….
I wouldn't mind it at all.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
"She's familiar right?" Marshall asked.
"Do you know who the passionate singer is?" Gumball asked.
You so know me.
Pinch me gently.
I can hardly breath.
"It's Marceline sheeesh." Marshall smirked.
My gosh, it's Marceline? I- but the song is for?
Forever is a long, long time.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Tell me
"She's waiting for you to confess dude." Jake said.
Gumball coughed a little bit.
"Ooops, I mean Du—dudette!" Jake corrected
Everyday I get to wake up to that smile.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
(BACK AT MARCELINE [AFTER SINGING])
(GENERAL POV)
Everyone was cheering for the band, the curtains were closed but the people were still cheering.
"Whoa, cool Job Marce!" Guy said "brofisting" Marceline.
"Thanks dude, but I have to go." Marceline said.
"Already?" Keila asked.
"Uhh yeah, I ha—I have to do something." Marceline gave a smile and they went for it.
Marceline was about to go out when the bouncer stopped him.
"Miss Abadeer?" The bouncer asked.
"Ah yes?"
"DO you know,… Marshall Lee Abadeer?" The bouncer asked her.
"He's my bro. why do you know him?"
"He came in a while ago."
"Oh, Okay then thanks." Marceline said as she walked away.
"MARCELINE!" A familiar voice called her out.
"OH hey bon? You're with Marshall and some other guys right?" Marceline went back.
"Oh yes, you're going home?" Bubblegum asked.
"OH, not – not really…I just want to get some fresh air that's all." Marceline smiled.
"Oh, can I come with you?" Bubblegum asked.
"Uhh sure."
The both of them were walking.
"Marceline?"
"Yeah?"
"Nice outfit." Bubblegum blushed
Marceline stopped at her steps and blushed.
"Di—did I say something wrong?" Bubblegum asked.
"Oh, nothing really, do you want something to eat?"
"Nothing in particular really, but I'll eat whatever you want to eat." Bubblegum smiled.
"Oh cool. Do you want some crème pie over there?" Marceline pointed out a small stand
"Sure. I'll wait here." Bubblegum smiled and sat on the bench.
"Okay then, I'll be back." Marceline ran to the small stall.
Bubblegum was left alone in the bench. She smiled widely and thought about her lips, against Marceline.
Oh my, AM I A PERVERT?
Bubblegum was cut off of her thoughts when she saw three men surrounding her.
"Hello pretty lady? You seemed to be alone? Do you want us to take you home?" The man smirked.
"No. I'm with someone tonight. So please leave." Bubblegum glared.
The other man took her wrists and pinned her to the bench. Bubblegum couldn't scream or yell for help since her mouth was covered up by the hand of the other man.
She closed her eyes and hoped for the worst but nothing happened.
Marceline was there, she pulled the man who were pinning Bubblegum and punched him. She kicked the man who was covering Bubblegum's mouth. But… before Bubblegum could yell, the other man pulled out a stick and he was about to attack Marceline but it was stopped by Marshall Lee and the others. Marshall Lee held the tip of the stick and kicks the man to his stomach, then Gumball punched him and Jake gave the final blow. The other two were badly injured grabbed the man and ran away.
"That was close." Marshall said.
"Th-at hurts." Gumball said.
"Heh." Jake smirked.
"Oh thanks guys." Marceline said.
"You okay Peebs?" Jake asked.
"Ah yes. Thank you very much." Bubblegum said.
The three boys smiled and said.
"We'll be there, we'll be coming home together alright? So, we'll wait by the crème pie stand over there." Marshall pointed out and the three of them began walking
"Are you sure that you're okay Bon?" Marceline asked again, sitting down next to Bubblegum
"Yes Marceline, thank you very much with your efforts." Bubblegum smiled.
Marceline blushed and leaned to the bench.
"You know what? I'll admit this one thing." Marceline said.
Bubblegum's heart was beating fast.
"What is it?" Bubblegum gulped.
"I- I really like -"
Bubblegum prepared herself
"I really like the moon you know."
Bubblegum frowned.
And this…. She means, THIS IS THE LAST TIME
Bubblegum stood up and said
"You know what? I'm tired of this! I… I really like you Marceline, no.. I REALLY LOVE YOU! but you're so damn dense! Like ugh! And I hate it! I REALLY HATE IT! When you're with that Luka, I was so jealous. So jealous like GLOB! You- you - you're the reason of all of this. You-re the—only reason about this…. This thing…. In my heart. That keeps me flustered every time when I'm with you… my brain gets,.. Overreacting and this causes me to hide and hinder these feelings… you know what? - UGH.. but..—"
Bubblegum was cut off when she was being hugged by Marceline.
Marceline pulled out with her signature smirk and said
"Guess what? I feel the stupid way, and I really love you" Marceline smiled.
"You—you do?" Bubblegum's starting to tear up.
"O—yes I do! And I really want to shout it to the world!" Marceline said.
"You—you would?"
"Yeah, wait." Marceline got on the bench standing and yelled "I LOVE BONNIBEL BUBBLEGUM! AND GUESS WHAT?! SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY TOO!"
Meanwhile…..
"This is reall-" Marshall was cut off when he heard someone yelling.
"They did it." Gumball smiled.
"Heck yeah! All of them were on my plans!" Jake said.
"Including about Bubblegum's incident?!" Gumball glared at Jake.
"Uh no, I didn't expect that thing."
Back to the scene
Marceline was panting.
Bubblegum pulled Marceline down and there they were hugging each other, thank goodness no one was in the park that time, it was already 9:30 when Marceline did the yelling and the other things.
Bubblegum pulled out from the hug, and cupped Marceline's cheeks.
"Marceline, I deeply thank you."
"For? Making you fall for me?" Marceline smirked.
"Ah yes, and for returning these feelings." Bubblegum leaned closer and Marceline did the same.
Then the both of them kissed.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
