What happened last:
Finn finally made his way to the Fire Kingdom with Flame Princess by his side. She says that she needs something from him but she's being mysterious… Then, Marceline and Bubblegum made it to the Nightosphere and are about to deal with this Assassins Guild problem once and for all.
M: "I guess we better get this over with." She thought to herself.
M: "Hey PB, let's…" She turned to see Bonnie snooping around her room."
M: "Bonnie!" She said loudly feeling slightly embarrassed.
PB: "What Marcy?" She said cutely, holding up a pair of her own panties that were still in Marceline's room after all this time.
The actual reason why they're there is because the princess took a shower at Marceline's house years ago and simply forgot them.
M: "What are you doing?" She said, her cheeks blushing.
PB: "Nothin'. Jeez Marcy, don't get your panties in a wad… or mine for that matter…" She said as she used the elastic band in the panties to fling them at Marcy's face.
M: "Ugh! PB… C'mon, this is serious." She was getting upset because she was feeling embarrassed. She pulled the underwear off her face as she grew more and more irritated.
Normally she would go along with the princess's humor but the recent dream that Marcy had made her feel a bit differently about jokes like this. She'll get over it though…
The princess began digging into Marceline's closet, finding more interesting things from their past.
PB: "Ooh! What's this?" She said sounding excited. She knew what it was, she was just sounding overly curious to bother Marcy.
Bubblegum pulled out some old lingerie that she used to wear for the vampire queen.
PB: "What do you think?" She said as she placed the underwear over the outside of her clothing to help Marceline make a mental image. She was just joking around of course.
M: "Bonnie, c'mon, we're not here to joke around and look at old stuff." She said with her cheeks blushing even redder than before. She wanted to get the princess to be serious about what they needed to do.
Finn won't be safe until they get his name cleared up in the Assassin's Guild database.
PB: "Yeah, yeah. I know Marcy, I'm just messin' around. Lighten up." She said with a slight giggle.
M: "*sigh* I know… I'm just really worried about Finn. I mean, someone could be trying to kill him right now, and if something happened to him then it would be all my fault…" She ended up blaming herself for everything just as she always does.
PB: "Ok Marcy. I understand. Let's go do this thing."
Marceline nodded with a smile and the two girls were about to walk out of Marceline's room until Hunson walked in the room.
He was holding a sandwich that he was eating when he walked in.
HA: "Marcy! I was actually just wondering when you would come back. Why didn't you just make the portal open up where you left here last time? "
M: "I uh… I'm still working on it…" She felt a bit embarrassed due to her lack of ability.
HA: "That's ok honey, I'm sure you'll get it." He didn't bother to mention the reason why she isn't good at choosing where the portal opens is because she doesn't come home very often. She just never gets the practice. He would normally have mentioned it but he didn't want to fight with Marceline anymore.
HA: "Oh, and who is your little friend over there? Is that Bonnibel?"
PB: "Yup, it's me. Hi!" She cutely said as she awkwardly waved.
HA: "And, what are you holding there, Marcy?" He was looking at the underwear in her hand although he honestly didn't know what it was.
Marceline immediately felt anger and embarrassment. She had no idea what to say or do to hide the underwear without it seeming weird or that she was hiding something.
M: "N-nothing… I was just cleaning my room." Her horrible lie was not only not believable because of the way she said it but it was also highly unlikely.
Why would she come home to just clean her room?
HA: "Ok. That's great. So, do you two girls need anything? I have plenty of well… pretty much anything you could ever want to eat or drink." He didn't question Marceline, he detected that she was possibly lying but he thought that if she felt like she needed to hide something at her age then it's probably just her own personal business.
M: "Nah, I think we're good we just came here to-"
PB: "I'm actually pretty thirsty. Sorry, Marceline but the air is pretty dry here." She said as she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
M: "Well, it's not like they have your favorite "soda" available here in the Nightosphere or anything…" She knew what the princess probably wanted and was almost certain that it wasn't here.
HA: "Well maybe, like I said, we pretty much have everything. It's changed a lot here in the past few years."
M: "Ok, let's go then." She almost sounded irritated.
The three walked down to the kitchen and Hunson showed Bubblegum the mostly new supply of Ooo's best and rarest commodities. She was instantly amazed.
PB: "My glob…" Her eyes widened as she observed the massive collection of various drinks and food of which included her favorite soda.
HA: "Go ahead Bonnibel, take whatever you want. There's plenty." He said, making sure to show his hospitality.
The princess drooled a little bit as she modestly took a single can. Regardless of being a princess and usually having anything she could ever want available to her, this was still an impressive collection.
M: "Ok. Can we do this thing now, Princess?" She used her title so that it wouldn't seem as though Marceline's relationship with Bubblegum was ever too "informal".
PB: "Y-yeah, Marcy. Let's do this." She didn't use the same formalities because she was far too mesmerized.
They all walked to Hunson's room where he kept the laptop and he had a few honest and innocent questions along the way.
HA: "So, how have you two girls been?"
Marceline felt a bit shocked and didn't know what to say. She immediately assumed that he was talking about the two girls being together in the past.
PB: "Ummm, we're good. We've both been busy with our own stuff. I'm actually only here because Marcy needs my help with a favor." She said, trying to sound casual.
HA: "Ah, a favor huh?" He said, trying to sound honestly engaged in the conversation.
Marceline and Bubblegum thought that he was insinuating "favors" and not just a regular old favor. They both blushed bright red simultaneously thinking that he was talking about a "certain kind" of favor.
Hunson Abadeer was always known to be a straight forward kind of person but not like this. Sadly, the two girls weren't picking up on his honest tone and instead thinking that he was trying to get them to confess to something.
M: "Uh… D-dad!" She was upset with how straight forward her father was. Or so she thought...
HA: "What?" He had no idea what she was sounding upset about.
There was a moment of awkward silence then Bubblegum spoke up.
PB: "So… where's this laptop of yours at?" She said, trying to change the subject.
HA: "Oh, it's in this room right over here." He said as he opened the door to his room.
Once Hunson opened the door and turned the lights on the girls went straight to the laptop to possibly avoid any other questions that Marceline's dad could think of.
HA: "So… what are you two girls needing to do again?"
M: "We need to hack into the database servers and-"
HA: "Whoa whoa… I'll just leave you two alone to that because I have no clue what you're talking about.' Hunson said then walked out of the room. He's probably leaving to get a sandwich.
Marceline sat down in the chair and was about to start working then Bubblegum stopped her.
PB: "Hold up, Marcy."
M: "What?"
PB: "Let me try." She said with a smile.
M: "Ok… remember what happened last time you tried?"
PB: "Yeah, that was last time."
M: "Ok PB, suit yourself." She said as she got out of the chair. She was looking forward to making fun of the princess when she inevitably fails.
The princess sat down and did exactly what she did before. She hacked the computer with great speed until she came up to the same point that confused her before. At that moment, she paused for a second and thought. Marceline crossed her arms and smirked, thinking that the princess had met her match once again.
M: "Well?"
PB: "Gimme a sec I'm thinking." She was thinking about what she remembers Marceline doing last time. She studied the notes that she took and she's about to put that knowledge to use.
Suddenly, Bonnibel remembered all of the little details and she began hacking the computer with the same speed as before. She then got up to the point where everything was displayed as binary and she was still able to continue hacking. She was able to do this all without the vampire queen's help.
M: "Well, looks like you don't need me anymore." She said, recognizing the princess's newly improved skills; almost sounding upset.
The princess looked back at Marceline and said something in a sweet voice and her most beautiful smile.
PB: "It's ok. I never said you had to be perfect."
Marceline didn't know if Bonnie was making fun of her or not but it still seemed nice the way she said it. She returned with a smile and the princess turned back to the computer once they were both blushing.
In about five minutes, Princess bubblegum was able to hack into the database, delete Finn's name from the "hit" list and proceeded to put his name on the blacklist. That list would sure make sure that this would never happen again.
The deed is done.
PB: "Well that's cute."
M: "What?"
PB: "My name's on the blacklist." She sounded humbled.
M: "Well duh. I could have probably told you that." She thought that it would have been obvious.
Bubblegum wasn't affected by Marcy's less-than-excited attitude and remained content.
M: "So uhhh… That's it. We're done then."
PB: "Yeah, pretty much."
Back to Jake and Beemo
LSP: "Oh my glob you guys! This is an emergency!" Lumpy Space Princess yelled as she barged in the kitchen where Jake and Beemo were sitting.
J: "LSP? What is it?!"
LSP: "Where. Is. Bubblegum? It's time for our weekly manicures!"
J: "Seriously? That's why you were freaking out?"
LSP: "Jake… I could literally die without this. Where else am I gonna hear all the juicy gossip?" She was sounding completely serious.
J: "*sigh* She's not here right now. She's with Marceline in the Nightosphere."
LSP: "Ugh. That place is soo totally gross. Why are they even there anyway?" She just kept asking questions.
J: "They're removing the hit from Finn's head because he started dating Marceline. Look… it's a pretty long story…" He said, sounding a bit aggravated.
It was probably a mistake that Jake told LSP as much as he already had but he thought that it was mostly harmless.
LSP: "So, where's Finn?"
J: "He's with Flame Princess doing some royal biz or something."
LSP: "So… why are you here?"
J: "LSP!" He was obviously annoyed at this point and made sure to make it apparent.
LSP: "Glob! I was just curious. I guess I'll wait in another room for PB to get back." She said as she floated to another room, probably to look around to find something interesting to gossip about.
Corrupted thoughts were brewing in the lumpy princess's mind. It's not her fault; it's just how lumpy people are.
I hope the holidays we're good for everyone so... how did you guys like chapter 36? :p
