'Please hold on just a little longer! I swear I'll be there soon.'

The girl thought to herself as she flew deeply into the forest as fast as she could. She could feel the stress that had begun to spread through her body from using all her strength to fly as fast as possible, but she wasn't going to let something as small as that keep her from where she needed to go. Her breathing became hard and husky as she drifted down and started to run, if she ran any faster you would have sworn she was still flying. She tripped and fell face first into the ground scraping her face roughly against the grass and a few rocks. As she pulled herself up she looked down and began to see red drops falling on her shirt, she put her fingers to her nose and realized she was bleeding. She shook it of and got back to running.

As an opening could be seen at the edge of the wooded area, a smile grew on her face. She ran through thorn bushes, past tree branches that hit her, and a few more rocks that had tripped her slightly. Upon reaching the opening she breathed heavily as her eyes looked out into the clearing, in the middle of the field stood the princess wearing a simple white dress with a smile on her face. She extended her hand forward, gesturing for her lover to come closer to her.

The girl walked with a small limp towards the younger girl as quickly as she could, she felt a sharp sensation spreading throughout her body as she came closer and closer to the girl. She could clearly see the dress had changed from being simple to that of a wedding dress as she stood before the princess. Her breathing was still heavy as she felt smaller arms being wrapped around her body, holding her gently as if she were going to break. She closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around the girl as well and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"I told you I'd be here, nothing is going to separate us ever again."

She then heard a deep chuckle, it sounded as if it was the laughter of a mentally insane person. Confused, the girl opened her eyes and looked up to only see Prince Gumball standing before her with an evil grin upon his face and his eyes were that of a killer. Her body froze and her mouth was slightly ajar as she stared at the person before her.

"I guess you must have been expecting someone else, yes? Oh, and as far as never separating you two again? I can fix that right now." He pulled out a dagger from behind his back and stabbed her directly in the heart. She gasped as she could feel her heart pounding through her chest trying it's best to stay as much alive as possible. She stumbled backwards and could feel her foot almost slip off the edge of a cliff, she looked down once and then back up at him holding the princess with the same look upon his face.

"Hope you have a nice long nap.. In hell."

The candy girl pushed her from his weapon and off the cliff, she fell back keeping her eyes on the princess with tears streaming down her face. She descended down from the land and stared at the sky in complete shock before her body turned over mid way through her fall. Her form colliding with that of heavier rocks at the bottom, she could feel her skull and bones crack as she landed.

Marceline shot up from dream and sat up on the bed, breathing quickly and shakily. She could feel a thin sheet of sweat across her body as she clutched onto her mattress cover and began to shake. She then felt a small hand placed upon her back, she jumped and ended up falling off the bed before scrambling towards the wall next to her bed.

"Marceline? Are you okay?" asked Bubblegum with a concerned look upon her face. "Why are you shaking and breathing like that?"

The girl's breathing became slower and calmer as she realized she was awake. Placing her hand over her heart, she searched for the scar from her nightmare only to feel her own smooth skin. She sighed heavily before looking up into the eyes of the princess who had sat before her on the floor with a concerned look.

"I-It's nothing.. Just a nightmare.."

"Nightmare? You haven't had a nightmare since you were 900 years old.. Something had have scared you to the point you would even have a dream that scared you like this, but nothing scares you.."

"Only one thing scares me.."

"What is it?"

"It's nothing.. I'll be okay." the vampire answered as she stood from the ground and laid face down back in her bed. She could feel the princess turn her onto her back and a small amount of weight on her hips. Opening her eyes, she could see the girl giving her a begging look to tell her what was wrong. The Queen began to turn her face away before she felt soft hands holding her gaze to that of blue eyes.

"Please, Marceline?"

"Bonnie come on.. I really don't want to ta-" she was cut off by lips that had been placed against hers. She wrapped her arms around the younger girl's waist and kissed back.

The princess pulled away first and caressed her lover's face gently. "Please.."

The Queen gave a deep sigh before answering. "I'm scared that.."

"Yes?"

"..I'm scared that you'll change your mind. Deep down I'm truly terrified that in the end I won't be enough or what you actually need.. that maybe you'll wake up one day and realize that your feelings have changed. That maybe you'll push me away again and fall in love with Gumball again. You'll marry him and just leave me for good.."

Bubblegum pushed herself up from the girl and rested her hands on the vampire's shoulders as she gazed down at her. "Excuse me what?"

"I'm scared you're gonna leave and not come back, that you'll realize you love him and not me."

The princess couldn't believe what she was hearing. The only girl she ever loved actually felt that she would leave her again? And for Gumball? She would admit that at one point she thought she loved him, but it was really just infatuation. She moved off the vampire and laid down on her place in the bed, her back turned to the other girl.

"Bonnie? You okay..?"

She didn't answer, she gripped tightly onto the sheet beneath her and kept silent. This time the princess felt the Queen roll her onto her back with red eyes looking down at her.

"Talk to me.."

"About what."

"About why the sky is blue, what do you think I want to talk about?"

"The answer is that the blue light is scattered by the air molecules in the atmosphere, referred to as 'Rayleigh scattering'. The blue wavelength is scattered more, because the scattering effect increases with the inverse of the fourth power of the incident wavelength. And to answer your dream - Why would you ever be scared of such a thing!?" She answered as she sat up and came face to face with the girl.

"I think it's pretty common to be scared of the girl you love, whose engaged by the way, to have second thoughts on how she actually feels!"

"I may be engaged but that doesn't mean I actually love him!"

"Oh really? Cause when you got that fancy little ring on your finger you told me you loved him but where falling for me! Now explain that oh great scientist!"

"You ever consider maybe it was infatuation with him? Oh probably not because your head is always somewhere else when we bring him up!"

"Well maybe because I don't care about him enough to actually want to talk about him!"

"And you think I care for him?! He means nothing to me now!"

"Oh please show me how he means nothing now!"

Bubblegum once again straddled the vampire's hips as she pulled down the sleeve of her sleep shirt. She gripped onto her shoulder, revealing her bite mark and looked in the red eyes of the girl she loved. "I did let you do this if you recall. I gave my everything over to you that night. My heart, my soul, I gave you everything of me.. I tell you I love you every single day and only ever want you to touch me the way you did that night. I love you and if you were to ever bet your title that I would ever turn my back on you and be with him.. that's one bet you would lose in a heart beat. I'm not going anywhere, I'm not marrying Gumball.. I want to marry you. I don't want to be Bonnibel Gumball.. I want to be Bonnibel Abadeer someday. I pushed you out of my life once before.. I'm not doing it a second time."

Marceline gazed into the eyes of the princess before crashing their lips together and holding her close. "I want you to be Bonnibel Abadeer too.. I'm just terrified you'll actually leave again. I'm not sure why, but it haunts me sometimes and every time it does.. it sucks to see you with him and not me."

"You're my one and only.. I'm not going to leave you again, we've got it right this time. There's no one else I'd rather be with, but you."

"I love you, Bonnibel."

"I love you too, Marceline."

The Queen laid the princess down on her back gently as she kissed her again, pulling her body on top of her lover. She could feel the candy girl wrap her arms around her gray neck as she glided her hands down onto her small hips. She moved her lips to the princess' jawline and down her neck, lightly nibbling on the candy skin. She could hear small gasps escaping the girls mouth, she couldn't help but smirk against the sensitive pink skin. As she had begun to snake her hand down towards the girl's lower region there was a knock at the bedroom door.

The vampire grumbled in annoyance before calling over her shoulder. "What!"

"It's me!"

"Whose me? I don't know a me!"

The door opened before a voice spoke again. "It's me... woah! Okay! Well then I guess I see you two are finally up."

The princess made a small noise as she hid under the covers and huddled next to her lover who laughed a bit before speaking. "Well, I guess that's more of Bonnibel you need to see huh, Keila?"

"Just a tad bit." she said as she covered her eyes from the two. "Well, we were going to go head out to the lake. I had originally came to see if you two were coming, but I guess you had other plans in mind."

"Yeah you think so?"

"Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to go out and swim for a while.. I could do some reading." the princess said as she uncovered her head.

"..you come camping out in the woods, we have a cabin, you're able to swim and have fun... yet you want to read?"

"What's wrong with some reading?"

"Nothing's wrong with reading! I just say you need some fun in your life," started the vampire before leaning into the girl's ear, "outside the sheets."

Bubblegum blushed before smacking the Queen with her pillow, she turned to smile at the younger vampire. "We'll be down in just a little bit."

"Alright!" she said with a chuckle. "Just don't take too long! I don't want to walk in on something I shouldn't have to see again!"

The Queen threw her pillow at the door as her friend left while laughing. She huffed and then turned to the princess who got up from the bed and walked over to her bag on the floor. She floated over on her stomach and looked over the girl's shoulder.

"Whatcha lookin' for Bonnie?"

"My bathing suit? What else would I be looking for?"

"You don't mean we actually have to go do you..?"

The princess stood with her swimwear in her hands as she walked towards the bathroom. "You got me up, I would've slept all day hadn't you woken me. Now you're stuck going outside today, so get dressed!"

The outfit the princess had chosen to wear was a pink sweetheart bandeau bikini with white shorts and her hair up in a ponytail. After tucking a few strands of hair into place she opened the door to see the vampire laying on the bed wearing a pair of jeans with black shoes and her bra.

"Why aren't you dressed yet?" asked Bubblegum.

"What's the point? It's not as if I can actually go out in the water anyways."

"Maybe I shouldn't go then either. I don't want you being alone on the shore, it's not fair."

"No, it's fine really. I mean, I'll have Keila for company anyways so knowing her we'll probably just write some new songs while you guys go swimming. Plus there's also flame princess who can't go near the water."

"Even still, it's not fair at all to you or them."

The vampire sat up on the bed and looked over towards the smaller girl. "Bonnie, it's okay really. I want you to have fun! I need to work on some new material anyways. I've only written one song in the past few days, to me that's really not that great. I should have at least three or four songs written by now, so go have fun I'll be right there on the shore if you want to see me."

"Are you sure?" asked the princess as the Queen got off the bed.

"I'm positive." she answered as she kissed the girl's forehead.

"Fine," Bubblegum started with a small sigh, "but you had better get dressed soon! We need to get downstairs so we can leave."

"Don't rush me woman! Besides they can wait, it takes me less than ten seconds to get ready compared to you."

"Oh, compared to me huh?"

"Yes! Why all I have to do is brush my teeth and put on a shirt! So ha!"

The princess looked over to the red plaid shirt that laid out on the bed, she glanced up to see the vampire with a confident smile upon her face. She walked over and grabbed the shirt as she headed for the door with a smile herself.

"Where are you going with my shirt?"

"It's my shirt today! So hurry up and get dressed Ms. Ten Seconds. I'll meet you downstairs!" she said as she blew her lover a kissed as she walked out the door.

Everyone aside from the Queen were down in the living room were ready to go out and have some fun by the lake. Finn and Jake decided to have a "manliest man contest" with Bongo and Guy while they waited. They were striking poses to flex their muscles in front of the girls, the only one who seemed to actually be enjoying it was Jake who could make his muscles bigger for a blushing Lady. Flame Princess and Keila just looked at them all blankly wondering what was so special about the boys flexing the muscles they all didn't have.

Bubblegum gazed out the back door admiring the scenery when she felt a pair of firm arms wrap around her waist. She smiled at first thinking it was her lover trying to be sweet, but when she glanced over her shoulder she was met with another pair of candy lips against hers. Her smile faded rather quickly.

"You look great today." said the Prince trying to be charming.

"Oh, well.. thank you, Gumball. You look good too?"

The prince that day wore a basic light blue tank top to go along with his green swim shorts, he didn't bother to do his hair so it was rather messy. The princess figured he was trying his best to be 'rugged' or some sort. It didn't exactly work for him like he had planned out.

"So are we all ready to go?" he asked the group of friends with a smile.

"Well, looks like someones in a hurry to forget one more."

They all looked up the stairs to see Marceline floating down gracefully, she had her bass strung behind her back and held onto her umbrella. As she landed on the floor she flipped her bangs smoothly out of her face, she gazed over at the prince with cold eyes.

"Ah. I see you decided to join us Queen Marceline." he said nicely.

"Just Marceline and I had intended to come to begin with."

"Splendid," he stated dryly. "Let's get going than shall we?"

"YEAH!" yelled an excited Finn who threw off his shirt and ran out the door, Jake followed closely behind.

"Do they even know where they're going..?" asked the Prince as he stared out after the two.

"Not a clue, but they're adventurers. Let's just let them have their fun shall we?" said Marceline as she opened her umbrella and floated out into the daylight behind her friends.

Out at the lake Finn and Jake had decided to swing off a rope that had been tied to the tree nearest to the lake. They all seemed to be enjoying the small lift into the air. Marceline and Keila sat under a bigger umbrella the younger vampire brought along with Flame Princess who was entertaining herself with burning a few leaves and twigs. Up next at the rope was Bubblegum who stood at the top rather nervously.

"Come one Peebles! Just jump in!" said Finn as he pushed his wet blonde hair out of his face.

"I don't know about this guys.." she said timidly.

"Come on Bonnibel! Just jump in!" said a widely grinning Gumball, "I'll catch you!"

"That isn't exactly my biggest problem right now!" she called back.

The Queen looked up from her bass guitar and shook her head with a smile. She always thought it was rather cute when the princess would get nervous like this. She could clearly see her young lover shaking a tad bit so she thought, why not give her a bit of encouragement?

"If you're too scared to jump then don't do it!" she called over.

The princess huffed and held tighter onto the rope. "I'm not scared! Why would I at all be scared of jumping in?"

"If you're not scared then jump in already!"

"This isn't a race! I can jump in whenever I want to!"

"Oh really now?"

"Yes!"

"It's okay if you're scared! We'd all understand a delicate flower such as yourself wouldn't ever dare do such a drastic thing!"

Bubblegum gasped a bit before puffing up her cheeks with a humph. "I'm not a delicate flower either!"

"Then prove me wrong!"

"Alright I will!"

The princess took a few steps back and a deep breath to calm her nerves as best as she could. She stared out into the lake, still as nervous as before, but she wanted to prove to the older girl that she wasn't scared or at all a delicate flower. She screamed as she ran at full speed towards the edge of the land and did a small flip in the air as she crashed into the water. Everyone cheered and clapped for the girl as she ascended to the surface once again. She wiped the water away from her eyes and had a smirk on her face as she looked over to a clapping Queen.

"Told you I wasn't scared!" she called out.

"Alright! I know when I'm wrong!"

Bubblegum splashed some water towards the Queen still with a smile and a small giggle. She got the girl's jeans a tad wet, but the vampire just laughed a bit before turning her attention back to her instrument. The princess swam towards the shore and walked over to the three girls. They looked over at her as she kneeled down before the younger vampire.

"Keila, could I talk to you for a moment?"

The girl looked rather surprised at the question. "Uh yeah, sure. What's up?"

"I wish to speak to you in private if you don't mind."

The Queen looked towards her lover rather surprised that she had something so private that she wanted to speak to her friend alone. The princess noticed this out of the corner of her eye and looked towards the vampire with a smile.

"Don't worry! It's nothing bad at all, I promise."

"Marceline? You okay with this?" questioned Keila.

"Yeah, I guess." she said with a shrug.

The young vampire girl threw on her robe and walked towards the woods with the princess so they could speak in private. The undead girl looked back at her friend only once to see her staring back at the two of them rather curiously. As the two girl's continued to walk through the forest a slight uncomfortable feeling came over the girl, almost as if the princess was going to ask something along the lines of 'has Marceline ever done..' sort of thing.

Once a few yards away from their friends, the candy girl stopped walking and held onto the other vampire's sleeve. Keila looked over at the princess with a nervous expression. She crossed her arms tightly over her chest as they stood quietly with each other, it wasn't exactly normal for the two of them to be all alone together. The silence was broken suddenly when the princess spoke.

"Keila. I must ask a favor of you." she said calmly.

"Well, it depends on the favor.."

"It's nothing bad or something I wouldn't do myself if I could. I promise."

"If it's not bad then why did you drag me out here to talk to me alone? Why couldn't we discuss this in front of Marceline?"

"Because what I am asking of you is something that is meant for her."

"What exactly?"

"I need you to help me with a present for her. Something special I know she'll love."

"And that is?"

"A song."

A/N: Well there you have it kiddies! A small little surprise in store for Marceline this time! I know it's been quite some time since I have updated, although my personal problems have faded away I have started a summer course for my classes. So it's going to be even a little harder to update faster, I'm doing all of my assignments back to back so I can finish with the classes before summer ends. Just know as you're reading this I will be continuing to write the next chapter that includes the surprise Bubblegum and Keila are working on. Let's get some reviews for this one please? :D [sorry it's not as long as the last one I wrote, the next one will be longer than this one.]
