; I'm baaack! Nobody missed me on my hiatus :( but that's okay. I'll only work harder & do better. So here we go, chapter seven without further ado. ;By the way, lf you haven't noticed, I start a new story on every third chapter of each story. (I started Bad Heart once I completed chapter 3 of The ;Ghetto. I started Mario Beginnings once I completed chapter 3 of Bad Heart.). Look forward to more stories. :)
"You go home & tell your parents. I'll go tell my dad. I wanted us to tell them naturally, but because of that bitch, LSP... Ugh, she ruined everything!", Marceline's tone went from ancticipating to disappointed.
Bonnie hated to see her so upset & tried to cheer her up. Marcy then found herself no longer able to yell, as her lips were greeted by Bonnie's.
"Wow. That doesn't happen often. What'd I do to desserve this?".
She was right. Though they were very close, they hardly ever kissed. They were still very much unsure of the whole thing.
'I'm going to do this. I have to. For Marceline.'.

The guards let her in & she pushed open the large, brown doors.
"Good evening, Ms. Bubblegum.", said Peppermint Butler. "I sense that there is something on your mind.".
"Yes, Peppermint. I must tell my parents something. I'm not sure lf now is the right time.".
"Nonsense!", laughed Peppermint heartily. "You can tell your parents anything, anytime, Miss Bubblegum.".
"Okay. Come with me?".
"As you wish, Ms. Bubblegum.".
'My parents will understand, right?'.
There her parents were, sitting at the huge dining room table as usual.
"Ah, Bubblegum. Glad you could join us.".
'Is lt weird that they call me by my surname? What was even the point of naming me?'.
"Hello, mom, dad.".
She paused, preparing herself. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke again, trying to be glad that lt's her parents & noone else.
"I have something to say.".
'Ah, jeez. Here lt comes.'.
"Yes, what is lt, dear?", her mother asked.
'Just spit lt out, Bonnibel.'.
"I... I... I...".
Their eyes widened as they curiously suspected some big news. Their faces still played patient awaiting however. Peppermint Butler was surprised that she didn't tell him first, that's what she usually did afterall. He was becoming just as curious as Bubblegums parents were. She sighed silently. She knew she had to say lt now or never.
"I have a girlfriend.".
She looked down at the floor as her parents grew bewilderred at the fact that their daughter was afraid to tell them this. Once again, her mother handled the talking.
"Bubblegum. You're thirteen now. You know you're old enough to have friends.".
'Dang lt. Why does everyone always assume lt's not what they think lt is? Can't they see that I'm in love... In Love? Am I? Do I love Marceline? She makes me so happy, but she also makes me feel confused. Oh, nobody makes me feel the way she does. But how am I going to break this to them?'.
"No, mom. I am dating a girl. I think I'm in love with her.".
'You think lt would get easier to tell people, but no, lt's just as hard.', Bonni thought.
Her parents started talking amongst themselves, sounding a bit surprised from what she could make out.
Finally, "I'm sorry, Bubblegum. This is our fault. We thought that you were still too' young, but we were wrong. We never talked to you about dating.".
For the first time since the greeting, her father spoke, remaining calm throughout the conversation.
"Girls go with boys, not with other girls. You're not in love. You're just having good feelings about your best friend. You just need to talk to some boys. You'll see.".
She felt betrayed, while Peppermint Butler felt guilty for encouraging her.
'They think I'm misguided?! They think I don't know lt's not right?! I know better. Why does everything have to be science qwith them?'.
"What? I know that. I do talk to boys. My friend, Finn, asks me out all of the time & I have to turn him down. What Marceline & I have is real. We kissed.. And I loved every second of lt.".
"Darling, two locks are obsolete. Without a key, you can't unlock either of them. Boys are made specifically to fit in the lock. Think about this. You can't have children with a girl. Without me, you wouldn't have been born. You enjoy science. You should know all this. You can't reach tier 15 with a girl. You can't marry a girl. And you certainly can't gain acceptance being with a girl.".
"I hoped I'd gain YOUR acceptance. But, you turned against me. Marceline accepts me. Why can't my own parents?".
"Because, Bubblegum, you're not serious about this. You're still young. You're clearly going through a stage. You're seeking attention, but getting lt from the wrong person. Even lf you really do love her, you could never be together. Noone in New York City would accept that. You stay with her & you lose everything. The Finn boy would be upset that you'd rather go out with another girl than him. Your other friends would think you weird. Everyone in school would make fun of you. We would have to move away, away from your friends. Marcelines parents would likely move somewhere else. You'd end up losing her when you could just stay friends instead. And what would we tell the family? Why would you want any of that? This must stop.".
She sadly looked at the floor, tears beginning to form.
"Go to her now, Bubblegum. End this madness now before you ruin your friendship & never see her again.".
And with that, Bonnibel left.
;What, you thought her parents would accept? Nope. That's just life. Horrible, ain't lt? Will Bubblegum listen to her parents & break up with Marceline or ;will she disobey them & run away with her? Chapter 8, coming soon.
