"Oh, my gosh! Why are you here?" Asked the annoyed girl, rolling her eyes.
"Shut up Cake! I was just looking for your parents. My new sibling is coming today and I thought they were here." He pointed inside
"Well my sibling is coming today too and if they were here, I wouldn't be here talking to you." She replied narrowing her amber eyes.
"Look sister, calm yourself down. I was just asking a question." He returned while walking away.
"I am not your sister! Heck if I was I'd kill myself!" She yelled angrily at the boy with dark gold hair and dark brown eyes.
"Sure keep telling yourself that." He teased at the girl with frizzy light blond hair and heard an annoyed grunt come from the girl followed by the front door of her house slamming shut.
"HE IS SO ANNOYING!" She yelled once in her room and for the tenth, time today dusted the new bed her parents had bought for her new sister. She smiled broadly at the thought of a sibling. Unlike Jake, she was an only child and often felt lonely. Although she could hear Jake and Jermaine arguing and their baby sitter trying to keep it from getting physical, form her window, she was sure having a sibling wouldn't be all-bad.
"Jermaine why don't you like your things? Leave my things alone!" Jake yelled angrily at his laughing brother.
"You are such a dweeb! Don't you know sharing is caring?" The nine-year-old boy yelled back running from his younger brother in a hysterical fit.
"Jermaine why do you ALWAYS want my things!" Jake yelled back and lunged for his brother. The babysitter caught him in mid air and carried him out the room.
"Jake! Stop getting violent. I will get it back for you," The tall teenage girl with the pile of blond hair cascading down her back said putting him down. "Yes Rainicorn" he mumbled
"What did I tell you about calling me that? I have a name" She smiled at the little boy and his pet name for her
"Okay, Lady" He smiled.
"Oh, Jake can you tell Lloyd (Lord) to bring Cake over?"
"What! No! Cake is terrible. Monochromicorn can stay over there! I don't care if he's your boyfriend!" Jake put his arms over his chest and frowned.
"Why do you dislike Cake so much? She is so sweet" Lady smiled
"Noooooo! Cake is evil" He responded as the teenage girl walked out the room to get his toy back from Jermaine.
She came back five seconds later "The toy was on the ground… I guess he didn't want it anymore" Lady passed it to Jake.
"Of course he didn't! He only wants it when I want it" She frowned and slouched lower on the couch.
"Well Jake are you excited to have a new sibling?"
"I just hope he's not another Jermaine." Jake responded sulkily.
"I heard that!" Jermaine responded from the other room.
"Good!" Jake yelled back. "Is it possible I hate him more than I hate Cake?"
Lady laughed at that.
"Hey daddy, did you hear that Jake's family and Cake's family are getting new kids?" The small 8-year-old girl with the soft pink like skin and strawberry blond hair asked her father as he worked in his study. "Bubblegum darling I told you not to bother daddy when he is working" He didn't even look up. "Sorry daddy, I just thought you'd like to know about the-"
"Bonnibel please I'm trying to finish this" She looked up seriousness in his eye and she walked out of his office. "I don't know why I bother… you're always too busy for me…" She looked back into the office and saw her father typing away on the computer. "I'm going to Bubba's house." She yelled back and received only "Uh-huh" as a response.
She grabbed her pink coat and slowly skipped to her cousin Bubba's house next door, slowly and looking back hopping, as always, that her father would try to stop her and call her back in to spend sometime together but as always, he ignored her completely.
"Mother!" Bubba yelled at his fussing mother, as she made his bed. "How many times have I told you, I can make my bed my self?" The little 8 year old asked and his mother giggles. This familiar giggle caused the slightly pink toned skin of the boy to turn pinker in anger. "Relax, Gumball" She soothe him and tussled his strawberry blond hair. The doorbell rang and instantly the mom skipped down the stairs as the boy finished getting dressed. "Well hello Bonnibel" he heard his mother address his cousin. "Hey aunty. Can I play with Gumball?"
"Of course sweetheart… Is my brother still home?"
"Yeah, but he's consumed in his work. Like always" They little girl trailed off sadly and her aunt put a comforting hand on her shoulder. The little girl looked up to the woman's bright brown eyes and couldn't help but smile. "We'll go visit your mom and Bubba's dad in the graveyard later"
"Hey Bubblegum" Bubba said walking down the stairs. "Wanna play kingdom again?" He asked and looked up to his mother "and mommy can be the Ice queen"
His mother grinned, "That wants to steal the charming candy prince" She made a monster voice as the two kids ran off giggling.
"Marceline that was awesome!" Marshall Lee yelled at his cousin.
"Thanks." She mumbled absently
"Marcy?" The eight-year-old boy, with pale skin dark brown eyes and black hair asked his equally pale with dark brown eyes and a mane like head full of black hair cousin.
"Yes Marshy?"
"Don't be sad."
The little girl smirked "Me? Sad? Never!" She nudged him and put her bass down.
He ran after her to get revenge when they bumped into his mother.
"Marceline and Marshall Lee what have I told you about running in the house?" Her voice commanded fear. "Not to" Marshall Lee replied uncaring
His mother rolled her eyes and looked at Marceline "That was you and your bass right?"
Marceline nodded and she smiled "I knew it! Marshall and his bass could never sound that good" she teased her son.
"8 years old and already playing like the great musicians. You two are gonna make it big." She teased but was actually serious. She teased them because she loved Marshall Lee's expression when she underestimated him and he surpassed. His victories were more to show her, than for himself.
"Marceline how's your new room?" She asked the little girl while she sipped her coffee.
"Nice" The girl trailed off
"I know you miss your parents" The woman started "I miss him too… he was my brother after all. And your mother was… nice." She looked down to the little girl. Marceline was looking away, out a window.
"Can we go outside?" She asked without looking at the woman.
"Yeah. Lets go outside." Marshall Lee grabbed her arm and pulled her forward towards the door before his mother could answer.
"Wanna go meet Bubba?" Marshall asked Marceline as they sat on his doorstep.
"Who?" She asked with a laugh
"A friend. He is weird but cool. His cousin Bonnibel must be there too." Marshall dragged her by the arm before she shook him off.
"This house is a little too pink" Marceline scoffed
"You should look to your left" He smirked
"Whoa. Now that's too pink!" She laughed.
"That's Bonnibel's" Marshall Lee replied as he rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later Bubba's mother opened the door, with Bonnibel on her shoulders. "Hey Marshall Lee" She smiled and looked towards Marceline "Oh, I didn't know you had a sister.
Marceline laughed "No, were cousins."
"Just like me and Bubba!" Bonnibel exclaimed from the woman's shoulders.
"Oh my dear, you're so light I forgot you where there!" the woman joked.
Bubba ran to the door "Hey Marshall" he smiled and looked at the girl "I didn't know you had a sister."
"She's my cousin, Sheesh keep up gummy" Marshall rolled his eyes.
"Gummy?" Marceline giggled
"Yeah, Bonnibel's nick name is Bubblegum and Bubba's is Gumball" Marshall grinned
"Oh, like yours is Marshy" She grinned
"Sheesh Marcy putting me on the spot" He smiled
"Your name is Marcy?" Bonnibel asked after Bubba's mom put her down and they entered the house.
"No, its Marceline"
Bubba's mom put out a plate of strawberries and apples, before returning to her study. "Play nice and quiet now, I have work to finish okay?"
All four children yelled back 'okay.'
Marceline grabbed an apple while Marshall scarf fed down some strawberries. "I love strawberries" he spoke, his mouth full.
"Hey did you hear about Jake's and Cake's families getting new kids?" Bubblegum asked Marshall
"They are? Cool! We should go see"
"Yes and that way Marceline could meet Jake and Cake." Bubblegum added
"What kind of name is Cake?" Marceline asked and the kids laughed at her question.
