Chapter 9

Marceline's POV

Marceline, upon realizing what the crash was, runs out of the cave but quickly runs back in screaming in pain. Marceline looks up and down her body and see's burns mark across her pale, blue skin from where the sunlight shined on.

"How could I be so stupid? It's sunny outside, of course I'll burn!" Marceline thinks to herself.

She turns around and walks deeper into the cave to look for her hat and long tan gloves, that would shield her from the sun. Marceline begins to panic, when after 15 minutes of searching she can not find them. Then suddenly a thought creeps into her mind.

"What if PB accidentally took them? Oh glob, if she did how will I ever get to her?"

Suddenly Marceline realizes what she must do, to save the girl that she loves. Marceline darts out of the cave and immediately feels her skin begin to burn off. She can feel the searing pain of the flesh slowly melting away, revealing the extremely sensitive layer of muscle exposed. Unable to bear any more pain, Marceline runs under a tree to try to find some relief in the shade. She become disappointed when she realizes that the tree has little to no shade, and does nothing for her burning flesh. Knowing that by saving Princess Bubblegum, Marceline might very well die she continues to persevere, knowing only that PB needs her in this moment.

Bubblegum's POV

"Ow, what happened?" Bubblegum says to herself while looking around.

She rubs her hand across her scalp and suddenly feels a harsh pain radiating from her head. Bring her hand back into view, Bubblegum gasps as she see's that her fingers are covered in blood. Unable move, Bubblegum lays there wondering how anyone will ever be able to find her. She silently being to sob thinking about Marceline, and how she wishes that she was her with her in this moment. Just then, Bubblegum hears the shaking of brushes and suddenly her eyes widen as she see's a body of a girl with long black hair, whose skin is completely scorched.

The creature walks over to her, and suddenly the Princess knows exactly who it is.

"Marceline!?" Bubblegum exclaims

"How are you out here in the sun? Oh my glob Marceline we need to get you some help!"

Just then Marceline picks up the princess bridal-style and begins to run furiously towards the caves, and collapsing the moment she puts the Princess safely on the ground. After a few moments, Marceline recovered enough strength to stand up and walk over to the Princess. She lifts up her hand and softly puts it on PB's injury on her head. Princess Bubblegum begins to question what the vampire is doing, but is quickly shushed and resumes to being confused. Suddenly a red light being to beam out of Marceline hand and suddenly the Princess' injury ceases and the Princess is left with no more pain. But just as PB is healed, Marceline falls down, her whole body going limp.

"Marceline! MARCELINE WAKE UP!" Princess exclaims as she tries to shake Marceline, urging her to wake up.

Marceline's skin, still being burned begins to fall off, along with the rest of the vampire. Bubblegum stares and begins to sob as she see's the vampire's body turn into ash right before her eyes.

"NO! MARCELINE! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU!" PB exclaims

Suddenly, a bright light beams out of the corner of the cave. In the light is a object in the shape of a crystal, along with a ghost carrying it.

"Wh- wh- who are you?" PB stutters.

"I am the keeper of this cave. This cave appears only to those of broken-hearts. The cave radiates a shiny object, that attracts the broken heart but is only revealed when words of love is spoken. Here" the ghost hands the small, shiny crystal to Bubblegum, "give this to, the girl you love and she shall be healed."

Before Bubblegum had a chance to respond to the ghost, it disappeared along with the glowing light. Taking the ghost's advice Bubblegum walks over to Marceline's ashes and softly places the crystal on top of them.

"Oh glob Marceline, I hope this works"

Suddenly, within seconds of placing the crystal on top of the ashes Marceline reappears still laying on the ground with her eyes closed. Bubblegum without hestitatsion kisses Marceline on the lips, sending a serge of love, Bubblegum was sure, that could be felt across the whole Land of Ooo. And with that Marceline's eyes opened and stared into Princess' pinks orbs, wondering if it was all a dream.

"Bonnie? What happened?" Marceline questions the Princess

"Oh Marceline, I almost thought I lost you!"

Marceline feels that Princess' wet tears fall onto her vampire skin, "Hey, Bonnibel I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. Shh I got you. I love you and I'll never let you go."

"Never?"

"Never, Bonnibel. You have my heart, where ever you go I must follow. You are home to me."

With that Princess Bubblegum's eyes begin to tear up even more, and so does Marceline's after Bubblegum plants a long and passionate kiss upon the cold, vampire's lips.

"I love you"

"And I love you my queen"

The two continue to lay to lay in the cave, entangle in each others arms. Knowing that this was only the beginning of their love.
