She was never the one to do this, it was always Bonnie, but no, she had this, she could do it. Picking up the phone she gave a deep breath and dialed a number into it. Her nerves grew stronger as the ringing from the phone continued, but it then stopped and a voice reached out. "Hi this is the Candy Kingdom Fine Wine Dinery, are you calling for a reservation or perhaps some questions?" They asked in a fairly French-sounding voice, almost a mock of one. "Uh hello?' It asked, dropping the voice. Marceline was frozen there, not sure what to say. "Well, um, alright, call again soon." It said, picking the mock French voice up again.
"Wait!" She yelled out suddenly, stopping whoever was on the other side from hanging up. "Well yes?" The Vampire Queen cleared her throat, trying to gain some confidence. "I, um, Marceline the Vampire Queen am here, er, I mean calling to request a reservation." The voice was quiet for a few minutes, making the royal nervous, but soon enough it spoke up once again. "Yes, I do think we have enough room for the Vampire Queen, would the Princess be joining you?" Marceline looked over to the pink princess who was sitting down, covering her mouth in an attempt to not laugh. Marceline grimaced. "Yes, she will be."
Finally, she was free of having to do that again. She glared at Bubblegum who was still giggling to herself, seeing the look the Vampire gave her the Princess stood up and walked to Marceline's side, kissing her on the cheek. Marceline felt her face redden, but she quickly smiled. "See, you did good, now, let us get ready!" She exclaimed excitedly, running to her closet.
Sometime later it was somewhat late in the evening, but the duo didn't mind as they walked through the bright and cheerful kingdom, the Candy People waving at their ruler. They were still hesitant when it came to the Princess's partner, but they were slowly getting more used to her, especially the younger candies.
When they reached the Dinery they were greeted by a Marshmellow wearing a face mustache, giving it a silly, but oddly distinguished, look. They were led to a table in the middle of the restaurant, one away from any windows that may let in sun. Letting her umbrella lean on the table, the Vampire Queen pulled out a seat for the Candy Princess. The pair stifled a giggle as they both sat down. The Vampire breathed in the cold and soothing air. "So, this place, was it built recently?" Marceline asked, curious because before she had never seen this lace.
"Pfff, no, this place is as old as garlic balls, we just haven't gone here yet…" She trailed off, playing with her fork a bit. The Vampire Queen cleared her throat, moving some of her long ebony hair out of her face.
"Well, let's do this more often. I mean, wouldn't hurt to get out more. Speaking of getting out more, you notice how Finn is always sneaking out through the window?" Bubblegum was now laughing a bit loudly at the mention of the boy's antics. "Ha! Yeah, he acts as if we're his parents or something. Not gonna stop us from teasing him though!" She could feel eyes at the back of her head, so she quieted down.
The pale one of the two glared at the people staring at them, when they noticed her red glare they looked away, a little afraid of the Vampires might. "So." She said, focusing her attention back on her fellow royal. "When's the waiter or waitress gonna get here?!" She asked frustrated. "Right here, madam." A Candycane person said, suddenly appearing at her side.
"Oh, um, well, what about you like Marceline? I'm paying so get whatever you want." The Vampire Queen smiled at this before ordering Red WIne, the only alcohol she could find in the Candy Kingdom.
A few hours later the Candy Princess and Vampire Queen were laughing at each other, doing whatever silly thing they could think of. When leaving the Dinery the two looked into each other eyes. "This was great Bonnie." She stepped closer to the pink princess. "It really was, like you said, we should do this more often." Suddenly, the Vampire Queen took Princess Bubblegums cheeks into her hands as she kissed her deeply. Sometime later they pulled away from each other, the Princess still needing air.
"Shall we continue this in the castle Princess?" Marceline asked. "Yes, I think we shall," Bonnie answered, cheeks turning a deeper shade of red.
