Chapter 9: The Gumball Ball.
The Gumball Ball was nothing like Mordecai or Rigby has ever been to. There were 8-foot monsters dancing on the dance floor. Marceline's friends were the band and playing great music. Mordecai was wearing a nice black tuxedo with a blue tie. Rigby was wearing a white fancy shirt and a black tie with alligator leather shoes. They were listening to rock music and some electro music.
"Damn this place is great. Who are you going to dance with slow dances?" ask Rigby.
"You got that right. I was thinking about dancing with Marceline. How about you," Mordecai told him.
"I don't know that many ladies. Probably sit down with the song starts to play," said Rigby.
"Don't be a party popper. Dance with someone ok," said Mordecai.
Finn and Flame Princess walk in the room on the other side. Finn was holding Flame Princess's hand as they walked in. Finn was wearing a fireproof tuxedo and fireproof groves to dance with Flame Princess. FP was wearing a crystal dress and her hair was straight down.
"Flame Princess, I think we are the best looking couple in the room," Finn told her.
"Finn remember when I said that if we like each other we will only hurt each other. I think that was a lie," said FP.
"Flame Princess, love like ours will only grow. We are working this out our relationship even better now," said Finn.
Jake was wearing a bow tie only. He was talking to his girlfriend that he haven't seen for awhile.
"Lady, I will return after this war. I will come back and marry you," Jake told her.
"Jake, 난 사랑합니다. 그럼 우리 아이를 갖는 우리는 오래된 부부가 같이 그들을 높일 수 있습니다." Lady told him
"We will name one Joshua after my dad. I can't wait to come back. How do you think the band is?" said Jake.
"그들은 위대한 있습니다. 왜 그들과 함께 않나요?" said Lady.
Marceline was in her why wolf dress she made with dead why wolves he killed on her travels. She was impress that her band can do get without her. Se couldn't wait to talk to Mordecai. She had a feeling about that she never had before.
"Mordecai, there you are," said Marceline.
"We were just looking for you. The band is great and awesome," said Mordecai.
"Everyone here looks happy. Sad thing any amount of them won't be returning," said Rigby, "This makes me so sad."
"Rigby, their deaths won't be in vain. We will bring their revenge on The Lich," said Marceline.
'Marceline, you want to have the next dance?" ask Mordecai.
"Yes. I would be honor," said Marceline.
"We will begin our first slow dance in a couple of minutes. Please grab a dancing partner," said the band member with the mike.
"Flame Princess would you like to dance?" ask Finn.
"Yes Finn. You have deified nature for me," said FP.
"Looks like my squad have found a dancing partner but Rigby. He is not alone," said Allan.
"Allan, would you like to dance," said Princess Bubblegum.
"I can't dance, but I own you a promise. Can you teach me," Allan told her.
"Yes. Just take your feet and move back and forth," said PB.
"Huh. This sucks I can't dance with anybody," said Rigby. All his friends were dancing and having a fun time. He saw almost everyone dancing but him. He just watch his friends dance.
"Excuse me. You need to dance with someone Master Rigby," a peppermint looking butler told him.
"Peppermint Butler, there is no to dance with. Can you leave me alone," said Rigby.
"There is someone who is not dancing. It is you. Dance by yourself, and things will be ok," said Peppermint Butler.
The band singer started to sing the slow dance song.
"Look into my eyes - you will see What you mean to me Search your heart - search your soul And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into your heart - you will find There's nothin' there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love And no other - could give more love There's nowhere - unless you're there All the time - all the way
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more I would fight for you - I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you"
As the song ended, Finn and FP, Mordecai and Marceline, and Jake and Lady were kissing.
"Thank you Allan, that was a nice dance," said PB.
"Thank you for teaching me. I would treasure this moment for the rest of my life," said Allan.
"Promise me you will return, Allan," said PB.
"I don't keep any promises," said Allan as he left the room.
"This is for all the soldiers who are going to fight tomorrow," said Mordecai and he started to sing.
"The winner takes all
It's the thrill of one more kill
The last one to fall
Will never sacrifice their will
Don't ever look back on the world closing in
Be on the attack with your wings on the wind
Oh, the games will begin
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
It's ours for the taking
It's ours for the fight
Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all
You don't win no silver
You only lose the gold
You push with a fever
For your time keeps tolling on
Against all the odds, against all your pain
Your back's on the wall with no one to blame
Wild hearts won't be tamed
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
It's ours for the taking
It's ours for the fight
Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all
And the one who's last to fall
Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
It's ours for the taking
It's ours for the fight
Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... yeah
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all"
"Mordecai I wanted to tell you that I love you," said Marceline.
"Tomorrow is the start of the war. I will return just for you," said Mordecai. Then they shared a kiss between a blue jay and vampire.
End of Chapter 9. I will continue this next Friday. The first song was 'Everything I do'. The second song was 'Sweet victory'. Yes, there was a foreshadow in this episode.
