Bubblegum woke up from her long night's rest feeling more rested than she had in a long time. The first thing on her mind, was how Marcy was doing. Then while she laid in bed, summing up the motivation to get up and do her duties, she realized that her coronation was only a few more days away, four days away to be exact. This made her groan, only because she had an even more mounted schedule, and today she wouldn't have Marceline here, help her bear it. After a day like yesterday, Bonnie felt reaffirmed in her wish to be with her vampire queen.
Realizing she had spent about twenty minutes just recapping all of yesterday in detail, Bonnie had shot out of bed to her closet, to find something suitable to wear. Trying pick out a dress she realize she had gone through a fashion phase. Unlike her usual filled out pink dresses, she began leaning towards more slim and figure hugging kind, this made her feel more mature in a sense. Perhaps she would also receive more attention from her partner if she shown off more often. Once she picked out a nice daytime dress she went off to her servants and began wrapping up the last of her coronation requirements.
I wonder what she's doing now... or thinking... Thoughts like that occurred to Bonnie throughout her day.
On her way to the main hall, where the majority of her servants were, she received a letter from one of her messengers from one of her dear friends. As she looked at her letter she immediately recognized the seal. It had been from the Royal Guard Academy, in the letter, the colonel had stated for a gift they would present her with two of their highest ranked guards. They would in turn serve her for the rest of their days. This colonel had been a friend of her family for generations, and no one really knew how old he was, then again, no one really knew how old Bubblegum was either.
Hmm, it's not like I can exactly turn down their offer, however the thought of constantly having two guards watch over me isn't exactly ideal. Still, since I shall becoming queen I should consider it...
At the bottom of the letter the colonel stated that she would receive her two special guards the day before her coronation, this gave her little to no time to prepare for this change. Never once before did she have constant protection and supervision. However she would have to mentally prepare herself for the time being, hopefully, if she was lucky, these two new guards wouldn't be so unbearable.
She continued walking down the main hall that had been filled with multitudes of paintings of Bubblegum and all of her ancestors, her family had ruled this area since the last great war. However she would be the first queen in history, that not only ran her kingdom, but also did not have a spouse. Although due to the law and her current estimated age, she was required to become crowed queen. Then a funny thought had come to her head.
Hah, Queen Bonnibel Bubblegum, QB, I'm not too sure my friends will have an easy time adjusting from PB to QB. If they even decide to.
Bubblegum headed to the would-be banquet room and continued her duties.
Meanwhile...
Marceline was at home messing around with her music, recently there had been a fire in her, due to the events of yesterday. So much so, that she had her band mates come over for a jam session. Once they got there, Bongo went all crazy saying how he will never let Guy drive the van again. Having everyone together made Marceline a little nostalgic.
For Marcy and her friends, it was nice getting back together again. Then one of the most spontaneous vampires in the Night o' sphere walked in the door. It was Keila, and she gave Marceline the biggest hug. Dramatically, Keila decided to slam a giant journal of songs on the coffee table.
"MARRRCCCCYYY YOU HAVE NOOOO IDEA HOW MUCH MATERIAL I'VE BEEN WRITING!"
"Haha wellll according to the size of that journal I'd say you have been jamming a lot lately".
Then Guy and Bongo started to go back to the van and start carrying up the equipment. Meanwhile the girls were setting up the house by moving all the furniture around to give them some more space.
"Uhhh Bongo, I have a serious question for you..."
"Sure man what is it?"
"Well uh, if you're a ghost how are you able to carry this drum set with me?"
"I don't even know man, I'm just all Ban-nay-nays ya know?"
"Yea Bongo I feel ya."
Once they all set up the group began discussing which song they should try first. Unfortunately it all had to be settled with a rock, paper, scissors battle royale. Keila ended up winning against Marcy and for the next hour or so everyone began learning a song written about Keila's unrequited love with a demon boy.
Oooo don't you know that I see you walking down that hallway
Nooo don't you know that I see you in a special way
I know that you will never return my feelings
But I can't bring myself to give up on you
Just give up on you
Is what my brain says when I hear your name
And yet I know that I never will
No no nooo I never will
After they rehearsed the whole song Marceline approached Keila and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Keila, I have two things to tell you."
"Uh sure go for it."
"First, that song was the sauce yo. Second, whoever broke your perfect little heart is now on my shank list. Seriously no one messes with my best friend's heart."
Marcy showed her glowing eyes due to some anger for the sadness of her friend. But Keila appreciated it.
Next up was Marceline's new song.
Come on come on
Don't push me anymore
Cause I can tell by your face that you need me as much as
I need you
No one is buying that act
Because when I catch you looking at me It's like you fell in love at first sight
Like that night When you told me that you cared but you didn't know how much
Now don't go And don't show,
Me how you can live without me
After she showed her band mates how her bass and vocals went they quickly caught on, it was as if the entire band was on fire. Later on everyone decided they would ended up spending the night at Marcy's. Like a bunch of teenagers they knocked out cold, and a few of them still had their instruments on hand. That night Marceline had gotten little to no sleep, and ended up having one of the best nights she had in a long time. Whenever she got the chance she wanted to show Bubblegum how much progress her band was making. These past two days for her had been a dream and nothing else could get in her way, it was as if she was walking on air.
However, for her partner, Bubblegum had been troubled with the recent bodyguard news, it only meant one of two things. Either, new issues were arising in the land of Ooo, or that she might be targeted. Neither of these possibilities were exactly good news. For now, she would have to investigate what in fact was going on in her and the neighboring kingdoms.
If only Marceline was around more often..
I'll admit, I wanted a bit more detail in this chapter, however it will be the foundation for later events. Such as, how will these new bodyguards affect Bonniebel? How will Marceline deal with the lack of intimacy her relationship will have? And especially, How will both of them cope with these new changes with PB's new position? How will coronation day play out?
Because its spring break I will have a lot more time to write, and that will most likely result in either 1) daily updates or 2) multiple updates in a day. So keep following guys (:
