"Marshall!" Fionna knocks impatiently on Marshall's door. Marshall hasn't stepped foot outside his room, since yesterday. "Come on, we're gonna be late."
"Cool your bunnies, girl," he calls back through the door. "I haven't slept correctly in a week. I need some rest.: He sounds grouchy.
"Well, who's going to take me to the reopening?"
"Go walking. You're up on your feet all the time anyways." He turns in his bed, pulling the pillow on top of his face.
"Don't you remember what happened last time I went walking?" How could he forget? He thinks for a minute.
"Is Gumball here?" He asks.
"I think so."
"Get him to drive you." More turning.
"But Marshall! You're playing tonight anyways." To be honest to herself she wants Marshall to take her so badly because she thinks it'd look cool if she rides into the ceremony on a motorcycle.
"I'm going later, now stop bugging me." His voice sounds annoyed.
Fionna is temporarily disappointed, but then she walks over to the pink door across the hall, which can only belong to Gumball, and is about to knock when someone opens the door.
"Hello Fionna, how do you do?" Pepper says, "I see that you are ready. Let us step outside while Bubba finishes getting ready." Pepper is wearing an odd outfit. It looks like a casual butler's outfit. Navy pants, a white button up under a navy jacket, clean and shiny black shoes, and white gloves. Her hair is pulled back into a bun and she looks extremely professional.
"Uh, sure." Fionna lets Pepper show her to the door. Stunned Fionna gets into the (pink) car and sits in the back seat.
"You're coming to the reopening with us?" Fionna asks pretending to be interested in her car-mate.
"Obviously." The two girls stay quiet. Pepper turns in her seat to look at Fionna. "I don't mean to be rude, but I'd like to know what you and Ember discussed yesterday afternoon."
Fionna is still creped out at how fast Pepper gets her information. She decides that Pepper has hidden cameras everywhere. Better yet, she has little peppermint butlers and maids that did her bidding as spies. Ha—how funny. Pepper has an army of peppermint people that spy on everything. They are so small people mistake them for bugs. Fionna realizes that Pepper is talking to her again.
"…because Marshall seemed quite upset at his arrival." Well, that explains his mood, but why would he be upset? Fionna thinks. I hope he's not going to be dumb and not show up.
As if reading her thoughts, Pepper answers, "Do not worry, Marshall will be at the Candy Kingdom before Cake makes her big announcement. Also, expect to see Simone Petrikov, Bella, and Dr. Prince there."
"Who's Dr. Prince?"
"Seriously? He's the doctor that treated your wounds when you were still in the hospital a week ago. He is by far the best doctor in Aaa alongside Dr. Icecream."
"Ha—he sounds delicious."
"Gross." Pepper rolls her eyes and turns back to face the front.
There's an icy chill in the car until Gumball enters and starts the engine.
"You ladies ok?" He asks and Pepper nods for the both of them. "I hope I didn't make you two wait too long."
"Oh nephew, you always take your time, just like a young lady before the big dance."
"Sorry, I had to get my dome piece right." Fionna giggles and notices the large amount of gel in Gumball's hair.
"I hope you two had something to talk about."
"We found a topic but we didn't get to discuss it too much." Pepper talks to Gumball as if Fionna isn't in the car as well.
After that it's a silent (and short) car ride to the new Candy Kingdom.
