Following the events of The Lich...
"No, no, no, NO, this can NOT be happening! Finn...Jake...oh glob...what do I do..." Princess Bubblegum whispered tearfully to herself, as she held the small pile of jewels left behind, when Finn and Jake were pulled through the time/space portal after the Lich.
"Bonni...what happened?" Marceline's softly-worried voice floated over Bubblegum's shoulder, and the princess quickly turned to fling herself against a surprised Marceline.
"Finn...Jake...the Lich...they're...gone..." Bubblegum stuttered out, as she buried her face against Marceline's neck.
Marceline's hand which had been gently rubbing up and down Bubblegum's back, froze and the vampire looked down at the crying princess in her arms in shock.
"What happened to Finn and Jake that involved that bastard Lich who almost killed you!" Marceline demanded with eyes that burned with an inner fury. She would never forgive the Lich for almost taking her Bonnibel away from her before, and now it appeared the asshole had done something to Finn and Jake.
Bubblegum leaned back a bit and took a deep, trembling breath to begin telling Marceline everything that had happened; from the moment Finn had burst into her room unexpectedly, to Finn and Jake disappearing through the time/space portal behind the Lich.
"We may never see them ever again, Marcy...Finn and Jake may be lost to us forever," Bubblegum whispered in quiet horror, as she buried her face against the vampire's cool neck, and slipped her slender arms around Marceline's waist to hold on tightly to her.
Marceline swallowed a small lump in her throat, as she held her princess protectively in her arms.
The Lich had once again gone after and potentially harmed someone she cared about.
The fury that Marceline felt towards that monster would not be abated, until she was able to cleave the disgusting bastard in two with her axe-bass. But until that day she could only put her faith in Finn and Jake to return to them safely. And to remind Bonnibel to also have faith in Finn and Jake, because those two boys had her father's own luck. They both always walked headfirst into situations most beings had absolutely no business surviving, yet Finn and Jake always managed to come out on top.
They'd be back.
Marceline whispered these words over and over again while placing soft, gentle kisses all over Bubblegum's tear-stained face, as she desperately tried to convince them both that Finn and Jake would be okay.
That the two boys she and Bonnibel considered family...considered brothers...would someday return to them...safe and sound...someday...
