Chapter 2: Stuck

"Well fionna it started like this"

Breakfast prince had sent out fifty-eight invitations to the grand opening of Stacks. A new twenty five story restaurant with each floor given a different theme and menu to enjoy. A lot of work has been placed into the building and Breakfast Prince could not wait for the grand opening next weekend. He had sent out invitations to all of Aaa's Princes and princesses. Sadly he didn't invite the kings and queens since if he did, the Ice Queen would show up in a heart beat. The invitations had stated they could bring a guest if they wanted to, as long as the guest didn't mind paparazzi and an end of the night royal board meeting. Prince Gumball had been invited as well as his noble steed, Lord Monochromicorn. Gumball wasn't sure why his loyal steed was invited but hey, can't argue with Breakfast Prince's choice of party guests.

The Lord had decided to bring his girlfriend Cake to the opening as his plus one and Gumball wasn't sure who to bring. As he picked out an outfit for the opening he tried to think of who he could bring. He had thought about bringing Fionna, but he knew she wouldn't enjoy these sort of gatherings. Fionna's tastes were a little more adventurous and dangerous, it wouldn't be very fun for her. Peppermint maid wasn't a good option either, there were rumors around the breakfast kingdom about her preforming 'Demonic Sacrifice's'. So if he brought the little lady a fight could break out. Gumball pouted and desided to go through his contacts list. Scrolling through his phone he knocked off: Lemonsnatch (To much stress) , Starchy (was busy that day), Banana Commissioner (didn't like breakfast) , and LSP ( Already invited). Gumball was left with two numbers to call: Marshall lee and Lady Cinnamonbun. Gumball sighed and looked at the phone at the numbers, he thought he had more fiends then this. "Well I suppose Marshall would know a little more about stock and trade then Lady Cinnamon-bun if asked." he said to himself. "And it's just for one night. It's not like he's still mad at me for the past." Gumball stood up and clicked on the call button.

After a few seconds the call was accepted and he was greated with the vampires kings cold voice "Hello Mortal, you may speak." For a second Prince Gumball thought about chickening out and getting Cinnamonbun, but decided against hanging up. "Hello Mr. Abadeer, I was just curious if you would like to accompany me to a royal event at five in the evening?" He could hear Marshall laughing on the other side of the line. "Seriously dude? why are you being so formal." Gumball Blushed thanking Glob they weren't video chatting "I was just-" "Bubba it's me, you don't need to act princely around me" Gumball sat down on his bed and continued "So Marshall, do you want to go with me to Stacks grand opening this weakened?" The line was silent for a while when Marshall finally decided to ask something Prince Gumball had wished he didn't.

"...So is this a date?" Gumball wasn't sure what to say, when speaking Marshall had sounded nervous and serious, not playful and mean. In the past they had dated and he had to go and completely break the vampires heart, he didn't know if Marshall would come if he said it wasn't. "Gumball? You still there?" The Candy Prince got out of his thoughts and replied to the question "No, it's not a date, just two friends socializing, nothing more ok."glob he sounded like a prick. The line was silent again, Gumball didn't know what Marshalls expression was and wondered if the vampire king had hung up in disapproval of the idea. "I'll meet you there Gum-butt " Prince Gumball released his breath he didn't realize he was holding and thanked Marshall lee for agreeing to come. The Prince began to loosen up and started to chit chat with Marshall as well as telling him where they would meet up at and what the invitation said to wear.

It was 4:55 p.m, and Prince Gumball was near the front entrance waiting for the Vampire king to make an appearance. The prince had his hair gel'd back and was wearing a white long sleeved shirt that was tucked in. He wore a pink bow tie and had on a pastel pink blazer that had a floral pattern on the pockets. He had on black dress pants and brown shoes to match his brown watch and belt. He wasn't wearing his coat since it was a bit hot out, but figured it would be ok since everyone currently there was dressed a bit casual. Gumball checked his watch and saw that it was five o'clock now; Marshall should be arriving any min- "BOO!" Gumball let out a high pitch scream and leapt four feet in the air as he heard a voice laughing at him. Turning around he was greeted by the Vampire King.

Marshall was dressed up in a grey dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had on a red tie that wasn't tucked in underneath his pinstriped black blazer that was unbuttoned. He wore black pants and his signature red tennis. It was a messy look but Gumball didn't want to start mothering the vampire, after all it wasn't his event it was Breakfasts Princes'. "So you done checking me out?" Crap. Gumball didn't realized he had been staring at Marshall for so long. He directed the conversation, " Let's go inside so we can get a good seat. I hear Jazzaronni will be preforming tonight." Marshall nodded and floated next to him as he walked at a quick pace.

The two made it inside and were greeted by a full array of delicious smells. The main lobby was decorated in way that made you feel like you were in the lost city of gold. Everything looked aged yet held elegance. There were tables of appetizers all along the walls, Cameras were flashing a mile a second, and people were happily socializing with each other. Marshall wandered off to go get refreshments and Gumball looked around for Breakfast Prince. Gumball turned and saw it was Breakfast prince up at the podium. Before he could walk over there Breakfeat Prince had began to speak. "Attention lovely guests, dinner will be served in a few minutes on the 18th floor, the Floor that has a tropical theme. Thank you and enjoy." People clapped and began to go towards the elevators and stairs to get to the floor to eat.

Gumball decided to push past the fast pace crowd and find Marshall lee before heading up to the eightieth floor for food and music. Talking to Breakfast Prince also could wait tell after dinner, right now Gumball wanted a good seat were he could enjoy the scenery. He didn't have to search far, Gumball immediately saw Marshall lee socializing with one of the syrup bottle waiters, pestering her about putting cherry flavored red food coloring in the drink she gave him. Gumball quietly walked over to the vampire king and grabbed the back of his shirt collar, dragging him away from the girl."Hey man what's the deal?" Marshall asked, "It's time to go, we need to go upstairs for dinner." Marshall was about to protest, when he noticed that Gumball and himself were the only guests left on the bottom floor. It was kinda awkward.

Marshall and Gumball started to head towards the Lobby's elevators when immediately Gumball stopped in his tracks. He had a bad feeling in his gut. "Dude what's up?" Gumball was hesitant to answer, afraid the vampire would tease him. "Marshall, we should take the stairs." The vampire gave him an annoyed look and asked why. "Bubba come on, Dinners on the eightieth floor. That's like a hundred stairs to walk up. Why would you even want to put yourself through the long climb? It would be faster if we took a ten second elevator ride." Gumball nodded, took a deep breath and got inside the metal box. It shouldn't be too terrifying, after all dozens of people have already used it. Marshall pressed a button, doors closed, and Gumball got a little nervous. He kept telling himself there was nothing to be worried about. Suddenly though there was a jolt, and the elevator stopped moving. But the doors didn't open up. The digital numbers up top said they were on the fifteenth floor, only three away from their destination. Gumball eyes widened in realization as he looked over at Marshall who's eyes were wide, probably coming to the same conclusion. They were stuck.

"Awe geez, seriously" Marshall lee said to himself as he frantically began to try and pry the doors open with his sharp nails. Gumball frowned deepened and he began to look over the buttons installed in the elevator: There was a close button, buttons with numbers counting from one to twenty-five, and there was an emergency stop button. No emergency phone, no vents big enough even for Marshall's bat form, and no button to open up the doors. They were trapped. Deep breaths, he told himself, he had to remain calm. "Glob Bubba there really's no way to get these open." He has got to stay calm, ignore the vampire. Marshall stopped clawing at the door and began kicking it which did nothing."Gumball they won't open up!" Stay calm, ignore him. "Wow what if we die in here and come back as zombies?" Marshall sounded like he was just tying to be funny to brighten the mood, but it was making it worse for him. Gumball tried to focus on his thoughts and breathing. In and Out, Stay calm, In and Out, stay calm. There's no need to freak out, someone will need the elevator and notice its not operational.

The prince begin pacing back and forth, each time he turned to face the other way he felt the walls go smaller. The Candy Prince checked his watch, it was only five O' six, had it really only been a few minutes. "Bubba you Ok?" Gumball snapped out of the motion and locked eyes with Marshall, who was currently on the floor with his legs stretched out taking up space. "Ill be ok" Gumball said stiffly. Marshall shrugged and laid down on his back, taking up even more of the space in the tiny elevator. Gumball didn't like this, the elevator was cramped enough, he faced the vampire and crossed his arms scowling. " What exactly are you doing?" He asked "Resting until someone gets here" Marshall chucked and sat up "Are you sure your ok man, you seem a little tense" Prince Gumball ignored Marshall and checked his watch, five O'nine, surly someone would have noticed the elevator being stuck. Gumball stepped over to the door and placed his hands on the crack trying to budge it open "Dude I already tried that, we're stuck" Gumball huffed and began banging hard on the door with is fists, "Hey let us out!", Gumball banged harder. The elevator was getting really hot and tight. "HEY!" He yelled, as he continuously punched the door, Gumball looked around frantically and began pressing random buttons, he felt like he couldn't breath. Gumball Pounded hard on the door blocking everything around him out, and let out a scream "LET ME OUT! GET ME THE FUCK OUT!"
