Hello guys I'm back and we're here to see if Finn and Marceline make up or not break up or stay or however you put it. It's not the only thing we see today, remember the vampire that lived in the last chapter? You guys get to see him again, and to clarify no it wasn't Marshall Lee, it was someone else and the girl was not Fionna. It was all just a fun little Easter egg, so that was just to clarify that. By the way I'm deleting chapter 1 and merging it with 2, the reason being I despise that chapter because its too short and is just terrible in general, one more thing it drives readers away from the story, I'm not kidding. Chapter 1 has over 800 views but as soon you get to chapter 2 it drops to barely over 400. So yea that's going to happen. Finally I want to ask you guys a favor, advertise this story and tell them its better than it first appears to be. I'm done here so lets get to the story.
Finn dragged his body across the ground, his legs almost completely useless. His arms were screaming in pain, but he ignored it. 'I got to find her...I got to apologize to Marceline.' He almost reached the village gate, when Kametra and Nintande returned. "Finn, what are you doing out of your bed?" Kametra asked. "You need all the rest you can get until your all better." Nintande threw Finn over his shoulder and carried him back to his bed.
"Now wait here Finn, Kametra's going to cook some steak. If you get bored just use this." Nintande threw Finn a pink gem that glowed brightly in the room.
"This looks like a phone gem thingy."
"That's because it is, what? Did you think just we live out in the wild we didn't have one of these?" Nintande left the room, leaving Finn all by himself again.
'Wait, I could use this to call Marceline!" Finn tried calling her but to no avail. There was no answer from her end. 'Oh yea, she doesn't have one.' Finn begrudgingly gave up on trying to call her. 'Who am I going to call now? Maybe Flame princess, that would actually be awesome. But how do I do it? I know she doesn't have one of these and I can't use that tracker thingy. Guess I can't call her either. I guess I could call Bubblegum, I hope she hasn't been kidnapped yet.' He activated the gem and awaited for her to answer him. Eventually her face popped out of the gem.
"Why hello Finn how are you?"
"Oh just fine, on an adventure, saving lives, nearly beaten to death, the usual."
"WHAT!? Finn who did this to you?"
"It's nothing PB."
"Finn your chest is nearly cut entirely through!"
"Tis but a flesh wound."
"Finn tell me!"
"It was Marceline OK!" Bubblegum gasped, she never would have guessed Marceline of all people would do this to Finn. "It was all my fault, I never should have pushed her."
"What do you mean by that Finn..."
"I...I...I got mad because she kept messing with my love life and I forced her into telling me why. We kept arguing until she snapped and punched me, and after that..."
"It's OK Finn, I can figure out what happened after that."
"I hurt her PB, she was bleeding on the ground and was crying."
"..."
"PB?"
"Finn, please don't talk about it any more, I don't want to here it."
"OK. Oh, PB?"
"Yes Finn?"
"Marceline told me what happened between you two."
"She...did?"
"Yes, everything."
"Tell me exactly what she told you." Finn told her everything. From when the two met to when they broke up.
"That's what she told me."
"Finn there is something I need to tell you."
"What is it PB?"
"That's not what happened."
"What!? She lied to me about that too!?" He asked sadly.
"NO, NO! She didn't lie, she doesn't know the truth."
"What do you mean?"
"What she told you is mostly true, up until when she drank the potion and when she lost its effects."
"Then what happened?"
"I'll tell you but whatever you do, don't tell her."
"Why?"
"Listen and find out."
"Oh Marceline! One last thing." Bubblegum walked over to a machine and pressed several codes into it. The gears sprang to life and the machine began to shake and rock back and forth before finally began to slowly settle down. A bottle popped out containing a red liquid that bubbled inside. The bottle however came without a label on it. "Bubblegum, what is that?"
"It's a little something I made, it's only a prototype of a drink I'm making. It's supposed to give someone unlimited stamina, so now no one will ever tire out. Would you mind testing it out for me?"
"Sure, why not?" Marceline took the drink from Bubblegum and winked at her. "Cheers, Bonnie?" Bubblegum picked up a nearby drink and winked back.
"Cheers." They clinked glasses together glasses together and drank.
"Bubblegum, I really don't feel so good." Marceline fell into Bubblegum's arms unconscious. Bubblegum began to panic, worried about what she had done to her friend.
"Marceline! Wake up!" Bubblegum shook Marceline by the shoulders, to no avail. An idea came to Bubblegum as she grabbed the bottle Marceline drank out of and rushed over to her scan-tron. It took a few seconds before it was finished being scanned. She read the results, SCAN COMPLETE: CHEMICAL KNOWN AS LOVIENTENT, ALSO KNOWN AS A LOVE POTION. Bubblegum looked over the results over and over again, wishing what she was reading wasn't true. Unfortunately, all the results were the same. Bubblegum had given her friend a love potion. She typed feverishly searching for the side effects. She finally found the file and opened it. SIDE EFFECTS: MEMORY LOSS, MEMORIES MAY RETURN AFTER POTIONS EFFECTS WEAR OFF, HOWEVER SUBJECT NOT HAVE ALL MEMORIES OF WHAT HAPPENED WHILE UNDER EFFECTS OF POTION, FEELINGS MAY REMAIN AFTER EFFECTS WEAR OFF, UNCERTAINTY, AND SLIGHT PERSONALITY CHANGE. DOSAGE: MUST TAKE EVERYDAY FOR EFFECTS TO REMAIN. Bubblegum laid her head on the desk, thinking the situation over.
Then it hit her, this would be the perfect opportunity to test the homosexuality gene Marceline talked about. Flirting with Marceline didn't work, she wasn't a lesbian. But with the love potion, she'll fall in love with Bubblegum. However, the test wouldn't be genuine unless...unless there was a second lesbian to test with. Unfortunately, Bubblegum didn't know any, there was only one way. Bubblegum took the potion and began to revise it. One hour later, it was complete. A new potion had been created, memory loss gone, uncertainty, and she wouldn't collapse when she drank it. However, Bubblegum couldn't remove the other side effects, she would have to deal with the personality change and the feelings might remain. She held out the drink in front of her, with an uncertain look in her eyes. "Do I really want to do this? To my friend?" She looked at Marceline's body on the ground and back at the drink. "For science..." She closed her eyes and put the drink to her lips.
"PB, you really did that?"
"Yes, I'm honestly kicking myself for doing it to this day, but the ending, there was a reason why I forgot to give her the dose she needed the day we broke up."
"What happened?"
"Something I'm ashamed of to this day."
Marceline flew in to her girlfriend's laboratory. There she saw her hard at work, she got behind her and wrapped her arms around her. "Hey babe."
"Hello Marceline." Bubblegum turned around and kissed Marceline. She returned it and gently slid her tongue toward Bubblegum's massaging it. The kiss turned passionate as the two lovers embraced each other. Bubblegum eventually pulled out and playfully pushed Marceline away.
"Whats wrong bubblebutt? Don't want any more?" Marceline teased.
"Oh I do, but I need to work, besides we both know you want this butt."
"Your right about that." Marceline squeezed it and then picked Bubblegum off the ground and set her on her lap, floating in mid-air. "So what are you working on?"
"I actually need you to do this."
"Do I get anything out of this?"
"Oh, you'll get a reward, but not until afterward." Bubblegum said seductively.
"Then lets get started. I'm looking forward to my reward."
"Alright, here is what you have to do." Bubblegum hopped off and walked over to a curtain and pulled it down revealing five random strangers.
"Bubblegum, what exactly are we doing?"
"Well, I wanted to test the effects of vampires drinking blood from their victims. So I need you to drink the blood from these five subjects."
"WHAT!"
"Look all you got to do is lean over bite the neck and-"
"NO!"
"Why? It's simple, it's not like I'm asking you to kill someone."
"I basically will be by doing this!"
"Marceline you and I both know that they won't die, they'll turn undead."
"Bubblegum, you know I don't do that! I hate drinking blood from other people. I admit its tasty as hell, but that doesn't matter! It's wrong!"
"Why would you care? You've done it before."
"Yes I've done it before, until I realized how I ruined their lives. Almost everyone hates vampires, they lose families and lovers and friends, I'm not going to ruin their lives too!"
"Marceline your exaggerating, this is all in the name of science."
"You really think I'm exaggerating, why would I do that!? People's lives were ruined when I bit them, I'm not going to do that to these people!"
"Marceline, if people knew I did this for science, then nobody will care."
"You really think they're going to care it was a science experiment? Bonnibel they are going to discriminate against them, doesn't matter if it was a for science or not!"
"Marceline do this for science!"
"I said no!"
"MARCELINE JUST BITE THEM!"
"BUBBLEGUM, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ACCEPT THAT I WON'T DO IT! NOT EVEN FOR YOUR SICK SCIENCE EXPERIMENT!" Marceline flew out the window before Bubblegum could catch her.
"That's why I forgot to give her a dosage."
"Bubblegum, why would you do something like that?"
"Look, like I said one of the side effects alters someones personality and well, it made me a little insane. I regret it and I can still feel its effects today. Marceline lost her memories of what caused her to get the potion and what made me forget to give her a some."
"So how or why did she tell me what she told me?"
"I honestly don't know, I think maybe she remembered bits of pieces of it and her mind made up the rest."
"Is that really the reason why she told me?"
"Can you think of a better one?"
"No..."
"Excellent, now listen Finn. You can't tell Marceline any of this OK?"
"Why not?"
"I want at least a chance of being her friend again, that potion made me sadistic and do that to those people. I don't want her to remember or she might never forgive me."
"OK, I won't."
"Thank you Finn, now if you please excuse me, I'm going to have to let you go."
"Goodbye PB."
"Goodbye Finn." The hologram deactivated and went back into the pendant. Finn sighed and put his hands to his face, not knowing what to think. He turned his head and looked out the window beside his bed. 'Marceline, where are you? I'm sorry.'
Malacarth sat down under an oak tree one mile from his base. He had started his walk nearly half an hour ago, making sure not to be spotted. He absorbed the area around him, enjoying its peaceful state. However, he noticed something off. The entire time he was walking he felt as if he was being watched. He was not one to get paranoid, but given the circumstances, the idea never left his head. He noticed while on his walk that several branches were crunching behind him, despite the fact that there were no creatures following him. He noticed that light was distorted on some foliage when he passed by then. He finally noticed that several berries he attempted to eat were drained of color. He came to the conclusion that there was a vampire in these woods, maybe not following him, but he would have to be more careful. He scanned the forest grounds carefully, searching for the demon of the night. However he saw nothing.
He was about to close his eyes when he heard something fall behind him. He wasted no time in charging behind him to where the sound came from. He smashed the ground, sending dirt every where, that's when he saw what the noise was. An invisible figure was standing there, covered in dirt. Malacarth swiftly grabbed the figure by his collar and slammed it against a tree. The invisible figure sloughed his invisible cloak revealing the person hiding behind it. It was the vampire that Malacarth had let keep his life. "Why are you following?" The young vampire did not answer Malacarth but just stared on at him. "I said-" Malacarth shook the vampire violently, "-why are you following me?" The mysterious teen nervously answered the wizard.
"I just...wanted to thank you. For letting me live and everything."
"That's it?"
"No, I...wanted to work for, to show my appreciation. I took your advice and I'm not going back to my former line of work." Malacarth dropped the him to ground and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm quitting my job, I want to work for you."
"Do you even know what I do?"
"Well no, but I don't care, from what I saw I'm guessing your some kind of wizard." Malacarth looked over the boy, determining his choice.
"Whats your name?"
"Luke." Malacarth turned his back to Luke and began to walk away.
"Follow me." Luke quickly ran after Malacarth, quickly catching up with him. "Now tell me Luke, there are three things I want to know."
"What is it?"
"Who is that woman in your locket?"
"That's my fiancee, Persephone."
"What's with that hat on her head?"
"That's from when we were visiting Beutopia and I found it on this skull. So I got it and gave it to her when I proposed to her."
"That's nice, finally, what is the name of the organization you previously worked for?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Those thieves you were with are obviously trained, meaning you are too, so what is the name?"
"I...I can't."
"Why not?"
"They might kill me."
"I'll see to it that you are protected, and Persephone."
Luke sighed and gave his answer. "I was a member of the Tatovi, a highly skilled group of criminals made up of super natural beings. We stole and increased our wealth, nobody could catch us or steal from us. Not even the city of thieves could touch us. Unfortunately, there have been some disagreements lately."
"What kind?"
"Well, some of the members began disappearing off the map and we found out they went rogue. Thanks to my bad luck, I was forced to work with the rogue after being found by them when I was spying on them, they forced me to work on their side and I have been for a few months now."
"I see."
"You never did tell me your name."
"The names Malacarth."
"OK, well nice to now work for you Mr. Malacarth. By the way where are we going any way?"
"Well if your going to be working for me, I might as well show you my center of operations." Malacarth quickened his pace, shortly reaching his destination.
"This is where you work!?"
"Isn't she a beauty? Now come inside, I need to give you a medical check up." The two walked in the entrance, disappearing from any private eyes.
Marceline glided across the sky, making her way to the tribe. She hid her body under the blanket, making sure not to expose her body to the after noon sun. She swiftly sped through the village gates, making sure not to be seen by using her invisibility. The queen looked through every window she came across, not seeing Finn through any of them. She found Kametra cooking something that smelled delicious. Marceline crawled on all fours across the roof tops of the villagers huts. She eventually reached one hut on the right of the Spirit temple. That's where she found Finn, he sat there, bleeding and looking quite solemn. Marceline deactivated he invisibility and flew in. "Hey Finn..."
"Marceline! I'm glad your here! I just want to say-"
"Finn, I just want to say-"
"I'm sorry" They both said at the same time.
"Marceline, I should be saying sorry. Look what I did to you. I shouldn't have forced you to reveal you p-biz."
"No Finn, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to mess with your love life."
"I guess we're both at fault here."
"Yea, but still Finn, I'm sorry. I've just been abandoned so many times...I just didn't want to be abandoned again."
"I know how you feel, I was abandoned at birth by own parents. At least you have a dad, I don't have a mom or a dad."
"I guess we both know what it's like to be abandoned."
"I guess we do. Now were bound by blood too Marceline."
"Why do you say that Finn?"
"Our scars, see?" Finn lifted up his shirt, revealing a scar starting at the base of his right arm, leading down just above the nipple and down the chest and leading to the far left of the abdomen.
"Your right, I guess we are." Marceline lifted up her shirt and revealed a scar beginning at under the belly button, leading up to just under the left breast.
"Till the end?" Finn asked hopefully.
"Till the end of time." Marceline wrapped her arms around Finn's neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist in a tight embrace, not letting each other go. "I missed you, ya weenie."
"Missed you too Marcy."
"So we ready to save Jake and stop Malacarth from globbing up OOO?"
"You betcha Marceline, only one problem."
"What would that be?"
"I'm getting married remember?"
"Oh yea. That is quite a problem."
"What are we going to do?"
"I actually have an idea Finn."
"What is it?"
"The wedding's tomorrow right?"
"Yes."
"You'll see what I have planned tomorrow, but it will work."
"You sure Marceline?"
"Have I ever been wrong?"
"Yes."
"Shut up." Marceline quickly flew out of Finn's little hut and into the transformation from the afternoon sun, to the evening setting sun. Tomorrow she would put her plan into action, and it is a glorious plan indeed.
