Chapter 8: Unexpected Encounters
It was evening at the Candy Kingdom. A certain Vampire Queen was visiting her friend, the princess of the kingdom. By the time she was at the princess' room, Princess Bubblegum was writing things in her journal.
"Hey, Bonnibel. How's your research doing?" Marceline suddenly asked, startling her friend. Bonnie sighed and said, "It's fine. Got all the research, but none of them proved that humans still exist. Every which way says they're extinct...". Marcy was quite curious of why Bonnie's so interested about this specific human. "Actually, why were you making research about humans again?" she asked. PB, without bothering to turn her head, replied "Because humans are rare. They're supposed to be extinct, but I saw one. He broke into my castle and dumped LSP's unconscious body... I told you already, haven't I?". "Yeah, but what're you gonna do with all this research?" Marceline asked again. PB turned and faced her before showing her the journal. "This, is history of human species research. I'm gonna track down and find that human I saw. I'm going to do some research, observations and experiments on him to gather data. The data I get from that will be added to this one, and I'll be known for my great research and findings of a lost species!" she explained fondly about her idea. "Okay, then I guess I'll leave you to work. I got things to do anyway, looking for a new home... See you around, PB!" Marcy said as she left.
The sun had set and the moon had risen. Marceline flew out the Candy Kingdom and found her gang waiting for her. Wendy, Booboo and Georgy were ghosts. They've been hanging out with Marcy since she was kicked out of the Nightosphere. Every night, they'll go on heists, robberies and shoplifting. They've never been caught before and their reputation was high enough to put them in the gang wars. "So Marcy! Found a nice hangout yet?" Wendy asked in her usual, quirky tone. "Nah, not yet. But I got another idea. How 'bout y'all?", Marcy asked back. "Same fate. Let's hear your idea, Marceline. I don't wanna sleep in the woods again!" Georgy said in a childish tone. Marceline grinned and said, "Alright! I've seen an orange dog walking to a house in a cave a couple of days back. The house is well hidden there. We can scare the dog outta there and then claim it, what about that?". They agreed to her suggestion and followed her to the cave.
They arrived later on at their destination of interest. They managed to break in and sneak in silently, only to find that the house was empty. "Yo, Marceline! Guess this dog ain't home. Look at it!" Booboo said to her. Marceline looked around and found no one in there, so she said, "Humph, guess this place is ours for the taking!". They cheered for a short moment before Wendy silenced them. She pointed out the window and they all looked towards the direction she was pointing at. There was the orange dog and he seemed to be walking towards the house with a human wearing a bear hat. "He's human... Is he the human Bonnie's looking for?" she thought to herself. For a short moment, she was stunned by his appearance. He looked like he's an 18 year old wearing that silly bear hat that seemed cute in her opinion. He looked buff and had a well-built body. When she returned to her senses, she quickly said, "Shit! Hide yourselves!". Booboo, Wendy and Georgy left through the back door while Marcy turned to her bat form and stayed hidden on the far corner of the ceiling. "Phew, I'm exhausted!" Jake said as he entered the house and collapsed on the floor. He wouldn't want to lay on the hard sofa, so Finn took it all for himself. "Dammit! The journey here took SOME time. We've been much further from the office than we used to..." he said with eyes half closed. Indeed their jobs had taken them so far from home and it's been continuous, so it's hard for them to catch a break.
Suddenly, Jake noticed Marceline hanging upside down from the ceiling in her bat form. Thinking that it was just a normal bat, he threw a book at it. "Hey!" a female yelling voice startled them both. Marceline, knowing that she blew her own cover, flew in her vampire form and tried to reach the back door. "Intruder! Stop right there!" Finn said as he caught her unable to open the back door. She turned once and showed her face at him. This time, he was stunned. She was a floating 18 year old wearing a grey tank top and a pair of dark blue jeans. Her eyes were red and when the moon shined on her face, it made her face look gorgeous. She changed her face to a slightly scarier face and startled him. She quickly dove out through the window and made a run for it with her gang.
"He's the human PB was looking for... He's more cute than I expected... What am I feeling? It feels strange seeing his face..." Marceline thought to herself as she hid in the woods with her gang. "Her eyes, her face, they're so... beautiful under the moonlight. It was gorgeous... Magnificent... What the? What is this feeling? I feel... happy when I remember her beautiful face..." Finn thought as he stared intently to where Marceline had left.
