Chapter 4
Author's Note:
Hey guys! Sorry the last chapter was extremely short. It was supposed to be apart of this chapter but I thought that this chapter would be way too long. Just FYI. Anyway, Enjoy! :D
Marceline's POV
"Oh my glob, if this is Bonnie I think I might lose it. My heart is going to explode out of my chest and run off further into the Candy Kingdom. I can't see her right now." Marceline thinks to herself
"Marceline! What are you doing here?" asks Princess Bubblegum
"Oh man its her! Okay Marcy you can do this. Calm down and act like its no big deal that she's here. It's her Kingdom after all. Just be cool." Marceline thinks to herself.
"I thought I might ask you the same thing, what in glob's name happened to you?" asks Marceline.
Princess Bubblegum lets out a sigh, "Let's just say I had quite an adventure trying to get here."
"I bet, but why are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be up in your Candy castle or whatever doing princess stuff?"
"Well, as I was in my castle I happened to see something sparkling from afar and I well I wanted to inspect it I guess." Bubblegum says sheepishly.
"You too? Great! At least I'm not going crazy!" exclaims Marceline.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I came her to um…get away for a while…and well I kept seeing something but I just thought that it was just me." She stutters.
"Oh, okay I understand now."
"Hey, PB wanna chill with me in the cave? I can start a fire. Its getting dark, and well I thought you might be cold."
"How considerate of you Marcy, sure as long as I get back to the castle before it gets real late. My candy guards would be very worried about me, as well as Peppermint Butler of course."
Marceline leads Bonnie into the cave and sits on one of the rocks. PB sits about to rocks away from her and stares deeper into the cave.
"Hey, Bonnie whatcha got in your backpack? Anything red I can drink from? I forgot to bring my red when I can here this afternoon." Asks Marceline.
"Actually I think I just might! I almost forgot that I was wearing a backpack."
Bubblegum takes her backpack off of her shoulders and puts it in between her legs on the ground. She unzips it and pulls out three large red apples and hands it to Marceline.
"Thanks PB!" exclaims Marceline
Bubblegum gives a simple nod and continues to search her backpack. She pulls out a pair of jeans, and a rock t-shirt, along with a blanket it and mini pillow.
"Whoa woman! What more do you have in there?" says Marceline jokingly.
"Well you never know what you'll need."
Bubblegum takes her clothes and walks deeper into the cave so that Marceline can't see her as she changes.
"Well this has turned into on interesting evening. The girl I love appears out of thin air. Hmm this is should be fun." Marceline thinks to herself.
Suddenly Bonnie reappears and picks up the blanket wrapping herself up in it.
"Oh my glob the fire! I totally forgot! Sorry Bonnibel I'll go get some wood for the fire." Says Marceline.
Before Princess can say a word Marceline uses her super fast vampire speed to gather up wood in the nearby forest and run back to the cave. Before she knows it she's started a fire and sits back on her rock.
"Thank you Marceline, that's very kind"
"No problem Bonnie!"
Both continue to sit in silence as the night progresses. Marceline begins to doze off and suddenly jolting awake after hearing a loud snore. She turns and see's Bubblegum leaning on a rock snoring.
Marceline lets out a sigh, "Oh Bonnie! How I wish things were different." She thinks to herself.
Marceline walks over to Bubblegum and picks her up in both arms. She sets her down gently against a rock and slowly unwraps her arms from the blanket. She lays the blanket down on the floor and lays Bubblegum on the blanket.
"Huh? Marceline? Is that you?" Bubblegum mumbles in her sleep.
"Yeah, Bonnie its me what's wrong?"
"Lay next to me?"
"Okay, what is going on? The girl I love is asking me to sleep next to her. Is this a dream? I mean I usually float but hell I'll do anything for her." Marceline thinks to herself.
"Sure Bonnie, sure."
Marceline leans over to check if Bubblegum is actually awake only to see that she is still in deep sleep.
Marceline silently chuckles, "Hmm funny, I never thought that she would be a person who talks in their sleep." Marceline says to herself.
Marceline snuggles up close to Princess Bubblegum, and it is then when she realizes how warm Bubblegum really is. Being a vampire and not going in the sun ever really make you cold and never feel true warmth. Being next to PB just made Marceline feel like she was at home.
"That this is how it should be, just her and I." Marceline thinks to herself.
Marceline closes her eyes and lets herself float away into her dreams, knowing that the love of her life is sleeping next to her.
