Chapter 24 –
"Bonnie!" Marceline froze, dark eyes wide as she scanned over her frenemy. "What the heck happened to you?"
"Um… I believe there has been a mistake…" Gumball said awkwardly as he looked the human girl over. No way this was his sister. She was not human, she was a Candy Person like himself of course. So who was this girl and why did Marshall think it was Bubblegum?
Bubblegum looked down, feeling horrible once more. "It was… It was an accident, I was working on a project you see…" It felt wrong lying to her brother, even if she hadn't seen him since she was a child, and Marceline, even though the girl wasn't exactly the most truthful herself. But a little lie wouldn't hurt, would it? How could it possibly? "Now I'm human…"
Gumball looked at her incredulously while understanding dawned on his girlfriend's face. "Oh… geez, told ya' you shouldn't go around messing with science." Marcy said firmly. "Eh, well, Finn should be excited by this development…" She continued with a shrug making Bubblegum look at her as if she had grown a second head.
As if on cue the boy barged in, scowling to himself, not even noticing Bubblegum.
"Hey! Finn!" Marceline called, darting over to snatch his hat from his head.
"Hey!" He cried, trying to snatch it back.
"Dude, were you out fighting monsters?" She said spotting a good number of bruises and scratches on his arms and legs.
He scowled looking away. "Close enough…"
"Huh?"
"Finn," Bubblegum hurried over to embrace the boy. A thick blush soon blossomed on his face. Bubblegum had missed the boy more than she thought she would. Maybe it was just normal life in general that she missed… She broke the hug, giving the boy a little smile before looking to Marceline and her still suspicious brother. "Guys… I think… I think I should go back home…" She said hesitantly.
"Aw! Bonnibel!" Marceline whined. "Why? We just got here!"
"I'm a bit homesick, but, I would like to stay here with my brother for another day or so…" She looked to him pleadingly.
Yes, this was his sister.
He stepped forward after a moment of hesitation to take her into his arms. "It's good to know your alright Bubbles…"
Bubblegum smiled to herself, winding her arms around her brother. "I missed you Gumball…"
"Hey Marcy…" Finn said quietly as they watched the brother and sister embrace. "I think I might go home too…"
Marceline took a deep breath through her nose. "I kind of expected that… But, we can always visit right?"
Finn grinned at her. "Right!"
Marceline gave the younger boy a tight hug. "Good luck back home."
"Good luck with, uh, Gummy-Bear…" Finn replied scratching the back of his head awkwardly and giving the girl a lopsided grin.
Marceline laughed, ruffling the boy's hair. "Sure thing," she replied putting the hat back on his head.
Bubblegum glanced at Gumball curiously, wondering about this "Gummy-Bear" thing, just to find his cheeks red… curious. "Finn, you will be returning with me correct?" Bubblegum asked, pushing the other issue to the side for the moment.
"Yep!"
"Well, go tell the others that we will be leaving tomorrow morning." She sighed.
"Sure thing P.B.!" He said cheerfully before bounding away.
Bubblegum turned to the queen and the prince, arms crossed over her chest and brow raised. "So… Gummy-Bear is it?"
Gumball turned about twenty shades of red while Marceline just smirked. "Aw! Gummy-Bear! You know, one of these days I might just end up taking a bite out of you when you blush like that…" The vampire informed him.
"Marceline!"
"What? It's true!"
"Oh my glob, are you two… a thing?" Bubblegum hissed, horrified of the thought.
"What was your first clue?" Marceline replied, throwing an arm around Gumball's shoulders.
"Oh dear, oh dear!" Bubblegum cried, looking away. "This is disturbing…"
Marceline laughed openly while Gumball only sighed heavily. "Bubblegum, darling sister, lets just catch up…" He took her hand, smiling gently.
She beamed back at him. "Well… It seems there is a lot to discuss…"
Marceline watched them disappear into Gumball's study with a slight smile gracing her lips. How Bubblegum had turned into a human, she did not know, but it all would turn out alright, she was sure. Now Finn could have a chance with her, hopefully, she would have her Gummy-Bear, and Marshall could have his Fiona. It all was going to finally work out…
But what about the Ice Queen?
Marceline frowned slightly. "I'll take care of her later…" She decided finally. But for now she was going to enjoy herself… now she had two uptight, pink, candy people to harass… Her lips curved into a devilish smirk. "Twice the fun…"
