For this night at the Candy Kingdom, Princess Bubblegum is having dinner with her subjects. They're having steak for tonight. As soon as everyone had left the table, she uses the leftovers for Marceline to eat it up. As she's headed for her room, she noticed Peppermint Butler, her loyal servant, and Lady Rainicorn, her pet and best friend, following her.

"Hey, Peppermint Butler, Lady! How nice it is to see you," she said with nervousness on her voice. In fact, she's worried of them finding out that she's hiding Marceline.

"Princess, you're acting strange lately," Peppermint Butler looking worried.

"그래, 무슨 일이야? 너 괜찮냐?" (Yeah, what's going on? Are you okay?) Lady said with worry as well.

As the princess looked at them, she thinks of them as the people she trusted. At this moment, she attempts to make a lie to them, but she just simply can't do it. How could she do such thing to them, the people she trusted in her life? Realizing there's no way out of this, she has no other choice, but to tell the truth.

"No, I'm not okay," she admitted. "I got something to hide. I'll show it to you, but you can't tell the others about it. Please, keep this a secret."

"As your faithful servant, I swear to keep it a secret," said the peppermint candy.

"너도 날에 세어보세요," (Count me in, too) said Lady also swearing to secrecy.

Inside the princess' room is Marceline playing music with her axe bass. She sings a song with a sad tone.

"Alex, why do you hate me so much?

I remembered the times we spent together with Bonnibel

You were happy and cheerful

As a human being you are

I thought back of the times you and I spent together

You look happy and cheerful

But as we grow up

You changed into an emotionless person

Emotionless like a soulless person

Soulless as a monster

I can see the goodness within you is gone

All I see in you is hatred for me

Alex, why do hate me so much?

What did I ever do to make you hate me?

What did I ever do to deserve this punishment?

Whatever it is, the person you were once is gone

You're beyond redemption

You're a monster now"

The song ends as Bonnibel opens the door so that she can show her to Peppermint Butler and Lady as her secret.

"Okay, this is my secret," she said. "I'm hiding her in my room."

"Marceline?" the butler looks surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm grounding her for two weeks in my castle as punishment after she admitted to my face that she's responsible for making Finn attack me with a wrestling move and a pack of wolves," the princess explains. "Anyway, I got another to for doing this. I needed her help of tracking down the culprit who is trying to ruin her image so that her opponent, Alex, can win the election and take her position."

"그럼, 두 사람은 주위를 돌아 다녀요 미스테리 어드벤처 있어요. 단서는 잡았나요?" (Well, you two got a mystery adventure going on around here. Got any leads?) asked Lady in curiosity and excitement. She wanted to solve mysteries like this one.

"From what Bonnibel said, it's someone who knows of our falling out and tries to keep it that way," the Vampire Queen replied on the question.

"Also, there are two main suspects: Alex and Ash," the princess explained more. "So am I in trouble for this?"

Peppermint Butler and Lady look at each other in the eye for a second before focusing on Princess Bubblegum.

"No, my princess, you're not in trouble. If you trust her so much, I can trust her as well."

"그녀가 당신의 친구라고한다면, 나도 그녀의 친구예요." (If she's your friend, then I'm her friend, too.)

"Therefore, we'll vote for you, Marceline."

"Thank you for your choice in voting for me," Marceline sits down on her bubblegum friend's bed. "However, your votes are not enough to retain my position."

"I'm also voting for you, my little girl," a familiar voice suddenly said.

It looks so familiar that the four looked at the side of the room. It's a demon whose appearance is vampire-like. He has dark hair and wears a dark business suit. To top it off, he has red eyes and wears red boots. It's Marceline's father, Hunson Abadeer.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" the Vampire Queen is surprised on seeing her father at a time like this.

"I'm here because of two reasons: one, you're in trouble so I say I'll vote for you; two, I got a letter from your opponent for the election, Alex. It says she wants to fight me tomorrow at 1:30 pm," Hunson explained before taking focus on his daughter's ex-girlfriend. "You must be Bonnibel, the one Marceline talks about, huh?"

"Yeah, that's right," Bonnibel shook hands with the Lord of Evil.

"My name is Hunson Abadeer, but just call me Marceline's Dad, if you want to."

"Okay, sir."

Hunson then takes focus on the letter Alex sent him and laughs about it. "Can you believe this? A nerdy mortal girl challenging the Lord of Evil to a fight? Ha! If it's a fight she wants, then it's a fight she'll get. I will beat her!"

Marceline and Princess Bubblegum take their eyes on each other and change their focus on the Lord of Evil.

"Yeah, Dad, like that will happen," the former said in sarcasm. "She'll totally beat you if you try it."

"Huh? Why?" her father said in confusion.

"Well, she got beaten by her," the latter replied to the truth.

"WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?" the demon shouts in anger upon hearing that statement. He's really angry to hear the news that his little girl got beaten by a normal girl.

Marceline tells her father the story of what had happened today. It starts from showing up to Alex's press conference to her loss by her hands.

"That is so very outrageous!" her father is really angry upon hearing the story. "That's another reason I'm here! I wanna teach that girl a lesson for hurting you!"

"But how can you do that, Dad?" she asks in a worried tone. "Alex is tough. She has both brains and brawn to do it."

"Hey, I have those things, too, Marceline," the Lord of Evil counteracts the statement. "Oh, I gotta go. I'm here because I'm training for tomorrow. So it's nice seeing you, Marceline."

He then vanishes after creating a smokescreen.

As soon as everyone is going to bed, Princess Bubblegum is finished on taking a bath while Marceline puts on her pajamas which it's only a gray top and light blue pajama pants. The former puts on her pink pajamas with a special t-shirt. It's not just any t-shirt; it's the rock shirt Marceline gave her.

"Like I said, I wear it all the time as pajamas," the princess reminded her vampire friend about it.

"Yeah, I remember that," the latter floated on the right side of the bed.

Princess Bubblegum turns off the lights of her bedroom and lies down the left side of her bed, ready to sleep. As she saw the vampire beside her, she has a worried look on her face.

"So you're worried of losing to her, huh?"

"I just don't know why Alex hates me so much," Marceline replied with a confused tone as well. "I mean, what did I ever do to her? What did I ever do to deserve this kind of punishment?"

"I'm confused about it as well. What made Alex the way that she is now? Anyway, I'm thinking about we should head to her castle tomorrow night. That way, we can get all the answers we wanted."

"And I like that plan. Anyway, good night, Bonnie."

"Good night to you, too, Marcy."

As the two girls drifted to sleep, there will be trouble for tomorrow.
