After a few hours of Gathering data and getting Marceline to calm down and finally find some clothes for her to wear for the time being, it was finally quiet. Marceline was sitting on the floor drawing things. For some reason she had this impulse to draw, So she did. She was
now wearing a red shirt and a blue jumper and red boots. All-in-all Bubblegum thought she looked cute. Bubblegum was researching on the bed about the missing ingredient, still no luck. Marceline had just finished a drawing of a guitar, it was pretty good, so she showed it to
Bubblegum,

"Bonni! Look!" She held up the drawing delightfully,

Bubblegum looked and smiled at what she saw. It wasn't just a great drawing od a guitar. It was a cute little girl, grinning as she showed off her drawing. "It looks wonderful Marcy."

"Of course it is! I drew it!" She jabbed her thumb at her chest and smiled proudly, making Bubblegum giggle.

"Alright, why don't you draw some more and," She grabbed the drawing, "I'll post this up." She smiled, and Marceline nodded and went back to drawing.

Bubblegum frowned a bit, realising what was happening, 'It is not only affecting appearances, but also mental and emotional. This isn't good. It'll be harder to work with her if she's acting like a 10 yr old.' Bubblegum sighed and went back to researching.

A few hours later, it was already dark out but bubblegum didn't know what time it was. She yawned and put her books and papers away and peeked at the edge of the bed. She sighed at the sight; Marceline was cuddled up sucking her thumb, fast asleep.

'She's so cuute!'

Bubblegum changed into her usual pajamas and went over to Marceline. She took of her red boots and her blue jumper, leaving the 10 yr old kid in a red shirt and black shorts. She carried her onti the bed and slid next to her. A few moments later, Marceline embraced
Bubblegum and tucked her small head onto Bubblegum's shoulder. Bubblegum smiled and they fell fast asleep.

The next morning, Bubblegum woke up with a start. She heard something crash. She opened her eyes to see Marceline on top of Peppermint Butler's head.

"You broke it!" Marceline yelled at Peppermint,

"Now hear this young lady, you were the one who suggested we play horse back."

"Yeah but who's the one who ran into the tray?" The kid questioned and the butler sighed defeated,

"Me."

"Yeah, so it's your fault not mine." She stuck her tongue out, and Peppermint just chuckled, and put Marceline down.

"Alright then child." He noticed that the princess was awake, "Oh, your majesty." He bowed, "Sorry for waking you. I will clean this up immediately."

"What happened?" Bubblegum asked sleepily,

"Well you see-" He was cut off by Marceline jumping onto the bed on all fours in front of Bubblegum, "I was bored Bonni. You were sleeping, so when Peppy came up with your morning tea, I ask him to play with me." Marceline smiled, "You're not mad are you?" She asked
innocently.

She couldn't be maad, I mean look at how cute she is! "Of course not Marceline... Just be careful okay?" Bubblegum felt very protective of Marceline for some reason. Peppermint cleaned up and left the room and promised to bring in new tea. Marceline was in bed looking at
the drawings posted on the wall beside the bed. Bubblegum was taking a shower. "I'm so awesome." Marceline said to her self.

When Bubblegum came out of the bathroom she was already dressed in a casual dress and her hair was alreayd dry and Marceline was still staring at the drawings. "Marceline." She said,

"Uh-huh?"

"Come on, you need to take a bath now."

"Don't wanna." Still not tearing her gaze from her drawings.

"Come on now, don't be stubborn."

"I don't wannaa." She whined,

Then Bubblegum thought of something, "Well then Bittybite, guess I'll have to bathe you." She grabbed Marceline and Marceline struggled, "Noooo...! And that was my nickname for you when you were a kid!" She screamed and Bubblegum realized that it was. When She was a
kid, Marceline would always call hey bittybite or Bubblepop or even Little BB. She hadn't realized that now the tables are turned, it was now her turn. She smiled at the memory of Marceline taking care of her. She put Marceline in the tub,

"You gonna bathe yourself or am I gonna have to do it?"

Marceline stuck her tongue out.

"You asked for it."

Bubblegum turned on the shower and it hit Marceline,

"Ahh! Wet! Wet! Wet!" She screamed,

"Well duh! It's water."

Bubblegum proceeded to take off Marceline's clothing, leaving her in only her undies.

"I feel violated." Marceline mummbled, "I think I'll just bathe myself."

"Nuh-uh. I don't think you really will. So I'll just do it." Bubblegum said as she applied shampoo on Marceline's hair. Marceline just huffed, but despite her reaction the truth was she really liked it. After the bath, Bubblegum dressed Marceline in a white shirt, red shorts and
her red boots. Then Bubblegum went back to researching and Marceline started drawing again. At noon, Bubblegum noticed that Marceline was gone. Then she noticed that the door was left ajar so she checked outside, she was starting to worry.

"Marceline? Where are you?" She then heard a child's laughter down the hall. So She hurried. Then she saw Marceline playing with Lady Rainicorn,

"Make that one Green with pink polkadots!" Marceline pointed and Lady giggled and complied. Marceline laughed at the object they had turned green with polkadots,

"Marceline, there you are."

"OH hey Bonni." She smiled and waved, "I was just playing with Lady, hope you don't mind."

BUbblegum just smiled and said, "Please tell me next time you leave the room. You should ask permission."

"You're not my mom." She huffed,

"Yeah, but I am your guardian for now, so please just as permission?"

"Okay Bonni, I'll ask permission from now on."

"Good, now come on. It's time for lunch." She turned to LR, "Would you like to join us Lady?"

"Why yes M'lady." She said in Korean, both Bubblegum and Marceline understood of course.

Marceline hopped off of LR and ran to Bubblegum who took her hand as they went to the dining room.

Then Bubblegum thought,

Taking care of her isn't so bad.

So obviously Marceline's head is all jacked up. Sometimes she's her usual, sometimes she's a kid. It's kinda hard to write now, I sorta lost some of my motivation since I sorta destroyed my other fic TT^TT but I'll get to fixing it eventually.

Please Review :)
