The next morning Marceline woke up on her roof, her mind felt completely fuzzy. She groaned out and sat up trying to figure out what was happening. She looked down and noticed that she was only in her black bra and panties and quickly looked around to make sure no one was around to see her. Luckily she was all alone.
"What the fuck happened?" She rubbed her forehead as floated down from her roof and entered her house. When she opened the door all she could smell is the aroma of burned weed. Marceline remembered that she had smoked up all of her pot and completely lost all sense of normality. But it's a good thing she knew a secret spot where there were marijuana plants growing everywhere. Marceline would definitely need to go and retrieve some more later. She found her clothes scattered around her living room and picked them up. They completely reeked of weed, so she threw them into the hamper. Marceline then sniffed herself.
"Whoa." She also had the lovely fragrance of pot. She floated upstairs to her bathroom and took a shower. While showering all the memories from last night hit her. The pot, the angry door knocking, the princesses, the slap, the more pot, everything.
"Ah fucking shit!" She angrily yelled and threw her clenched fists in the air.
"So stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" The pale girl referred to herself and smacked her pale face repeatedly. She knew she had to apologize to Bubblegum, whether she liked it or not, which she totally didn't. But if she just left it alone, she also knew that Bubblegum would never speak to her again. Marceline didn't want that either, as much as she seemed to not to like talking with Bubblegum, she didn't want to be completely ignored by the pink princess. After she finished showering she changed into a gray flannel shirt, blue jeans, and her pair of Chucks. She made sure to grab her black over-sized umbrella and flew towards the Candy Kingdom.
When Bubblegum woke up she felt like complete shit. She didn't bother changing since she was already dressed. She simply straightened her dress and proceeded going through the stack of royal documents on her desk that needed to be signed. Half way through filling out the papers she heard a knock on her window. She faced the window and saw none other than Marceline floating on the other side, sadly looking down with and black umbrella in her hands. "What the glob. The nerve of this vampire!" PB angrily thought as she walked over to her window. She opened it and glared at the vampire.
"Leave. I don't want to see you." Bubblegum shot out coldly to Marceline who was still looking down in embarrassment. She had no time to deal with the idiotic vampire girl. She wanted to stay far away as possible from her. PB started closing the window but Marceline stopped her before she fully shut it.
"Wait, hear me out Bonnibel. I just wanted to apologize." Marceline looked up at Bubblegum with a remorseful face.
"Don't call me that." PB removed her hand away from the window and crossed her arms.
"Please Bubblegum. Can we just like, talk or something." The pink girl stood there for what seemed hours to the vampire, but she finally invited Marceline in. The vampire floated in and set the umbrella against the wall and turned her attention back to Bubblegum.
"Look, I'm REALLY sorry for being such a fuck-up. I'm sorry for leaving you the other night, I just knew that the next day you'd wanna talk about our relationship and you know I don't like talking about that kind of stuff. I'm sorry."
"And?" Bubblegum added looking expectantly at the vampire. "And?" Marceline thought.
"Sorry for being high all the time, I guess." Marceline added, but felt like she shouldn't need to apologize for that.
"You guess?" PB arched her brows and looked at the vampire in disbelief. "Well, it's kinda your fault for leaving me..." Marceline was about to say but realized maybe it was too soon.
"Nevermind, I'm sorry for smoking pot... at unnecessary times." Bubblegum knew she wouldn't get an apology any better than that so she settled for it. Of course PB couldn't stay mad at Marceline for long, no matter how mad Marceline gets her, she always calms down and forgives her beloved vampire. She sighed in defeat.
"So you think you can enrage me to the point where I slap you and you can just come in here, apologize, and expect me to forgive you? After all you put me through?" Bubblegum said in a stern voice. There was short silence until the vampire replied.
"Uhmmm... Kind of? ...Maybe?" Marceline frowned and looked down disappointingly.
"Fine. You are forgiven Marceline. Now please leave so I can get back to my responsibilities." PB decided it was no use to stay mad at the vampire, but still wanted her to leave.
"Thanks Bonn- er, Peebles." Marceline floated over and hugged Bubblegum.
"Just don't smoke your brains out please." Bubblegum teased and broke away from the frigid hug.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny. Just don't work your brains out either Bonnibel. Oh, oops." Marceline put a hand over her mouth realizing she said the princess' first name.
"It's fine. And I certainly do not work my brains out Marceline." The princess let it go and went back to crossing her arms.
"Peebles please, I've seen you passed out on your desks sometimes with slobber all over your face." Marceline chuckled.
"So you spy on me?" Bubblegum shot a brow up at the vampire and gave a smug grin.
"What? Pfft, no. I just uhh, observe you and make sure you're not being kidnapped by Ice King." Marceline then realized that she made herself sound like she still cared. Which she did, and Bubblegum smiled at her and realized it too.
"That's very sweet of you Marcy." She went over and pulled Marceline for a hug and kissed her on the cheek.
"Yeah, well... *cough* shouldn't you get back to your 'responsibilities'?" The pale girl pulled away from Bubblegum with a small blush over her face.
"I should, but I could take a break you know? I don't want to 'work my brains out'." PB let out a small chuckle, noticing Marceline's pink face.
"Hey, since you don't want to work your brains out and I don't want to smoke my brains out, why don't we go out? Uhm, like friends?" Marceline suggested giving Bubblegum a friendly smile.
"Hmm... That sounds nice." Bubblegum smiled back.
"Great, wanna go to my house and watch a movie?" Marceline pointed over to her house with her thumb.
"Under one condition. No funny business. Got that?" Bubblegum gave Marceline a stern look and didn't want to have another 'fuck-up' with Marceline. Well, unless they were back together and sure about each other's feelings.
"Hey, you think I'm just some horny vampire that wants to have sex with you all the time?" Marceline dramatically put her hands to her chest as if Bubblegum stabbed her. She looked at Bubblegum with an exaggerated hurt expression and pouted.
"Well it seems like it sometimes." Bubblegum giggled.
"That's harsh Peebles. Don't worry, I'll keep my pants on the whole time." Marceline let it go and laughed, Bubblegum also joined in on the laughing.
"Okay, so let's get the glob out of here." Marceline picked up her umbrella and swooped Bubblegum into her arms bridal style. Bubblegum yelped and wrapped her hands around Marceline's neck as a reflex. Marceline opened her large umbrella before flying out of the pink window and into the blue sky. On the way to Marceline's house the two girls shared jokes and laughs, forgetting all about the dramatic events that happened. Marceline softly landed on the ground and set Bubblegum down. They both entered her house and Bubblegum uncomfortably sat on her stiff sofa, meanwhile Marceline searched for a movie they could both agree on. Thankfully, the weed smell was gone and her living room smelled like Marceline again.
"Evil Alien Guts?" Marceline suggested and Bubblegum winced at the name.
"Uhm... Do you have anything less, distasteful?" Marceline snickered and kept searching.
"I guess we could watch a comedy since you're chicken then." Marceline then found a good comedy movie called "Pants On Fire" and looked back at PB.
"Excuse you? I am certainly not chicken." PB huffed and crossed her arms.
"You sure about that Peebles?" The pale vampire shot up a brow and challenged the princess.
"Certainly. In fact, play your least scariest movie you have." Marceline laughed.
"Whatever." Marceline replied and went back to searching. Bubblegum gave a small sigh, she hated scary movies. Maybe not so much in the past because she had a strong vampire that held here when she flinched during the scary parts. "Oh glob." Bubblegum thought to herself as she remembered she couldn't even watch a scary movie without jumping into the vampire's arms and hiding her face in the cool space between her neck.
"Aha! The Attack of the Zombies. Perfect." She plopped the movie into her TV and pressed play. She floated over her couch and kept a friendly distance away from Bubblegum. Bubblegum nervously stared at the screen. Sure, she was scared about the movie, but what really worried her was that she didn't want to be startled onto Marceline's lap.
"Uhh, you ok there PB?" Marceline noticed the worried look on Bubblegum's face and scooted closer to her.
"What? Oh, uh, kinda... It's just that your couch is lumpin' uncomfortable." Bubblegum lied used the hard sofa as an excuse.
"Well you can sit on my lap if you want?" Marceline joked, but Bubblegum considered this for a moment. "Well, the floor is practically the same thing. And I wouldn't have to worry about jumping into her lap since I'll be on it already." Bubblegum thought as she stared at the bony lap that was surprisingly comfortable.
"Okay." Bubblegum simply replied. Marceline was shocked that she actually agreed, since she was only teasing in the first place.
"Oh. Well come on over then." The vampire patted her lap and smirked at Bubblegum, inviting her in. PB scooted onto Marceline's lap and placed her hands over her own lap. Bubblegum tried not to completely enjoy the cozy spot she was in.
"Uhm, could you..." Bubblegum turned and noticed that she was completely blocking the vampire's view.
"Oh! My apologies." She awkwardly fell back onto the cool pale body. "Oh glob, oh glob, oh glob." Bubblegum became nervous again. She prayed that a pair of vampire arms wouldn't wrap around her. Luckily, Marceline kept her hands at her sides and continued watching the movie. They both concentrated on the TV screen, getting more and more into the movie. To Bubblegum's luck, there was only one part that made her jump. A green-skinned decaying bloody zombie popped out on the screen and let out a terrifying scream. Bubblegum yelled and immediately turned her face into the Marceline's neck. She grabbed onto the vampire's body as if the zombie was actually coming towards her. Marceline laughed and slyly wrapped her hand around Bubblegum's waist.
"Zombie's gone, you can look now." Marceline always notified Bubblegum when the scary part was over when they watched scary movies together. Sometimes she would trick Bubblegum just to get her to grab onto her body again. But it wasn't a trick this time. Bubblegum cautiously turned her head, not breaking away from Marceline's neck. She let out a relieved sigh and noticed where Marceline's hands where. But she didn't seem to mind, considering that her hands were also wrapped around the vampire. They stayed together in that position until the movie was over. When the movie ended, Bubblegum still had a lot of time before she needed to get home.
"Can we watch another movie?" Bubblegum suggested.
"Yeah, sure." PB got off of Marceline so she could put in another movie.
"Attack of the Zombies 2?" Marceline held up the movie box with a repulsive picture on it.
"Fine." Marceline played the movie and went back to the comfortable position they were in. They continued watching the "Attack of the Zombies" series and it began to get late. By the time they were watching "Attack of the Zombies 4" Bubblegum was already snoozing in Marceline's arms. When Marceline noticed this she decided she might as well do the same. So Princess Bubblegum and Marceline both floated over the red sofa, in each other's arms, deep asleep.
