The room was dark and silent save for the sound of rustling sheets as the vampire tossed and turned seemingly searching for sleep amidst the covers. It had only been moments since the pink girl had departed to her chambers, and time seemed to move at a snail's pace as Marceline attempted to drift to sleep. She lay awake recalling the events that had transpired in the last few hours. After Peppermint Butler had "caught them in the act" the girls had burst into a fit of laughter, as the giggles subsided they shared their awkward goodbyes.
"Well, I should get going," the princess half-heartedly said not really wanting to leave the vampire's side. "Yeah," Marceline began as she awkwardly rubbed her neck, a nervous tick, "you'll come back tomorrow night, right?" Princess Bubblegum smiled softly at the vampire's obvious attachment and nervousness. Marceline noticed this; she then coughed and straightened up trying to regain her uninterested, 'I don't give a fuck' disposition.
"I mean, you can if you want its totes up to you." She remarked attempting to feign disinterest inadvertently being more awkward. Smooth, Marceline sarcastically said to herself.
The princess clasped the vampire's face between her hands causing the vampire's face to flush, "Of course. I'll come here the same time tomorrow night after dinner and the entertainment. Okay?" She smiled as the vampire nodded then placed a delicate kiss on the vampire's soft grey lips. Marceline pulled the girl closer enclosing her in an embrace never wanting to let her go.
The fact that they had just had sex didn't really surprise Marceline, from the playful flirting they'd do to the heated arguments they'd had time and time again; but she'd known she liked Bonni from the day she first laid eyes on her.
FLASHBACK:
The sun was high in the sky shining brightly, warm and welcoming; the breeze was cool and refreshing. The toothsome smell of strawberries and other delicious treats filled the air. The princess had gotten up early that morning to supervise the organization of the Kingdom's Annual Strawberry Festival. All the tents and venues had been set up and decorated accordingly. Currently the Princess was going to pick some strawberries for her mother's famous strawberry shortcake. Bubblegum was determined to win the annual Best Strawberry Dessert Contest, but hers always ended up being a dessert disaster. Last year's dessert fiasco ended when her strawberry layered cake imploded and created a black hole that tried to suck up the whole Kingdom, if not for Finn and Jake it would have very well done so, she was ever thankful of the young heroes. After those events she resolved to leave science out of it this time and do it the old fashioned way. "I mean how hard can it be?" She thought to herself, "If I can follow formulas I should be able to make a cake. A recipe is just like a formula. It's a cake formula; although I prefer pi." The pink girl burst into a fit of giggles as she reached the strawberry patch by the woods on the outskirts of the Kingdom.
She picked the ripe berries from the patch humming a tune that she soon began to whistle. Suddenly she noticed a shadow cast over her and the patch of strawberries causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up. She slowly turned around to find an obviously very angry and annoyed floating girl clad in long gloves, a big wide brimmed hat, canvas shoes, ripped jeans, wearing a grey flannel shirt over a black t-shirt with what seemed to be two roasted marshmallows on sticks that were strangling a yellow snake in lake. The princess stared at the image on the shirt, "How distasteful," she said to herself. Her eyes travelled back up to the girl's face, her skin was pale and greyish, and despite the angry look planted upon her face she was beautiful. Her eyes were crimson swimming in a black sea; her hair was pulled back into a pony tail the flowed down slightly swaying as she floated, and those lips. "They look so sof– WHAT NO. What's wrong with me?"
She was broken from her thoughts by a low soft feminine voice. "Hello? Earth to lamebrain," the girl waved her hand in front of the princess's face.
"Wigga-wha?" Princess Bubblegum shook her head and stepped back from the taller girl.
"Someone's got a serious case of whacked out poobrain," the girl floated past the princess over to the strawberries tending to them, Bonnibel now realized she had a watering pot in hand and went about caring for the strawberry patch. "Why are you stealing my strawberries anyway?" she said over her shoulder not looking at the princess as she dropped from the air to her knees and began to pull at some weeds.
"Y-your strawberries? I'm so sorry. I didn't know this strawberry patch belonged to you," the princess gushed, her face burning hot with embarrassment, "My apologies Miss…?"
"Marceline, just Marceline," the girl stood wiping her gloved hands off on her jeans before offering the princess and outstretched hand. The princess accepted the gesture and shook the taller girl's hand gingerly.
"You don't look like a strawberry thief," the vampire eyed the girl causing her to shift nervously where she stood, avoiding the grey girl's burning gaze. "Hey, I'm just kidding. What's your name?"
Bubblegum hesitated, "Bubblegum, Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum ruler of the Candy Kingdom," she said as she fixed her posture standing up straight attempting to regain her regal pride.
Marceline looked over the girl. She was cute, even when she was attempting to uphold a royal standard. Her blue eyes sparkled in the sun as her long pink hair framed her face. Something about the girl rendered her speechless, she actually wanted to be nice to the girl–well not nice but at least tolerable. "A princess, eh?" the Marceline mused to herself, "Hm."
The two girls continued to make idle chit chat as Bonnibel continued to pick strawberries, satisfied with what she had she looked over to the vampire. "Thank you for the strawberries, Marceline."
"Don't mention it," she replied half paying attention as she plucked away at her axe bass, singing to the fruits in the garden.
"Hey there, little berry.
You're not just any kind of berry.
Not a blue one or a cherry.
You're a strawberry.
Hey there berry, did you know?
From little things, big things grow.
So, won't you grow, grow, grow."
As she sang the fruits began to grow and even looked a bit healthier. The princess watched in amazement. "What kind of strawberries are these?" the princess asked startling the vampire who apparently had thought she'd left.
"Um, they're enchanted strawberries. They feed off music for nourishment, they still need water and good soil but not as much of it. They're the best kind for me to grow since I can't always tend to them," Marceline replied suddenly shy. "And because you sing so well," the pink haired girl added, smiling softly at the girl. That caused the pale girl's face to flush different shades of red, "Thank you," she replied softly.
It then grew awkwardly silent; the princess took her leave reluctantly saying her goodbyes to what she hoped was her new friend. She wondered when she'd see the girl again, an idea popped into her head. She stopped in her tracks and turned around yelling toward the strawberry patch, "Hey Marceline!" She caught the pale girl's attention. "Since you like strawberries so much, how about you come to the Strawberry Festival today? I mean, that is if you don't have any prior engagements," the princess suggested hoping the girl would take her up on her offer.
"Sounds fun, I'll be there Bonni," the pale girl replied with a toothy grin. The princess smiled to herself and began to walk home, with her mind on her new friend rather than baking a cake.
"WAIT, did she just call me Bonni?"
The festival was underway and the sun was now beginning to set. Bonnibel hadn't yet seen her new companion; her stomach sank as she realized the girl might not come. Maybe she was busy and couldn't make it. "Why do I care so much anyway?" she thought to herself, "I barely even know her." Just then Peppermint Butler cleared his throat bringing the princess from her thoughts.
"Milady it's time for you to set up in the 'soak the princess booth' for the festival," he reminded her. "Yes, yes, come along Pep," they both headed toward the booth. The princess sat on the stool under a bucket of water, attached to the bulls-eye the contestants had to hit with a ball. Each contestant would get three tries. The princess could have kicked herself for not bringing a change of clothes from the castle down here with her, when she had went to change into some less formal attire; she wore a yellow and pink striped shirt, jean shorts, and yellow converses. Peppermint calling out, "Step right up, step right up. Get your chance to soak the princess!" Her angry glare could have burned holes into the back of the little man's head. She didn't know why she'd agreed to this in the first place. The first few people failed in their attempts to hit the bulls-eye. "Maybe I won't need that change of clothes anyway," the princess thought to herself just as a tall lanky individual wearing a hat with a fire breathing horse on it walked up for their turn. She couldn't see the person's face but something about them seemed quite familiar.
SPLASH!
Suddenly the princess was soaked with cold water eliciting a surprised gasp and scream from the girl as all the candy people laughed and applauded the tall stranger. The princess stepped down off the stool and began walking toward the castle, mumbling something about sacrifices for the kingdom.
"Hey, Bonnibel! Wait up," she turned to see someone coming her way, "Here take this." She grabbed the towel that was thrust out to her. After wiping her face down her looked up into those crimson eyes she could never mistake.
"Marceline, you made it!" she exclaimed excitedly as she pulled the girl into a wet embrace. "Of course, I said I'd come Bonni," the girl replied as she returned the hug. The princess liked when the taller girl called her Bonni; suddenly she realized that she was hugging the girl a bit longer than she should and pulled away as a blush spread across her face.
"You're shivering," Marceline pointed out as she took off her flannel shirt then the band shirt underneath leaving her black undershirt on as she handed the band t-shirt to the princess, "Put this on."
"Here?!" the princess asked shocked at the boldness of the girl.
"No, on the moon. Duh, here. Just go behind that tree," the taller girl pointed as she slid her flannel shirt on.
"This is so distasteful," the princess fumed as she stormed off to the tree.
It was getting dark and the festival was still thriving, buzzing with people laughing and smiling. The two girls had just finished riding the Ferris wheel; Bonnibel found that she was watching the grey girl during their ride. She wondered who she was, where she was from, what she was, and why she was so intriguing.
As they walked through the tents the smell of strawberries still strong in the air, they bumped into a little man carrying an envelope. "Pep, I do apologize. I didn't see you ther—," the princess was cut off by the other girl's greeting, "Ah! Peppermint Butler, long time no see!" she floated over and picked the round man up jostling him about as she floated around. The little man hissed at her rough actions, "Yes, Queen Marceline it has been too long. Could you please put me down?" he asked almost annoyed as he was placed onto the ground.
"Queen Marceline?" Bubblegum asked curiously.
"Yes, I see you've met the Princess, and failed to properly introduce yourself," the grey girl rolled her eyes as the peppermint man continued, "Marceline the Vampire Queen, milady."
"V-vampire Queen?" the princess stuttered as her mind pieced everything together, the long gloves, the big hat out in the sun, and most of all her pale skin. "How could I have missed that?" she thought to herself. She had heard so many stories about how malicious vampires were, and how they were heartless bloodsucking creatures of the night. Though she did believe the things that she had once heard about the creatures, she wasn't scared of the girl; if anything it made her want to know more about her.
"Yes, she is royalty milady; although she fails to act accordingly," Marceline's ears twitched as she bared her fangs at the little man, "I must be going I have the results for the Dessert Contest to announce," he said as he scurried away fleeing Marceline's wrath.
Marceline lifted up off the ground floating on her back with her legs crossed with her hands behind her head in a lounging position. "I guess we're not too different after all Pinky."
"Don't call me that," the princess said flatly, "How do you know Peppy?"
"Peppy? That's cute. Well Pinky, he used to caddy for my dad in return for the help my Father gave him in some unforeseen circumstances," the vampire replied.
"Ugh, don't call me PINKY!" Bubblegum exclaimed as she walked off towards the contest winner announcements followed by a chuckling vampire.
The rest of the night had been quite eventful. Bubblegum had won first place in the dessert contest and was ecstatic. The festival had wound down and everyone began heading home. The vampire and the girl were at the castle's entrance.
"Well, today was an experience," the princess half yawned.
"I'll take that as a 'today was fun'," the vampire smirked.
"No, you'll take that as me saying goodnight," the princess giggled.
"So soon?" the vampire pouted.
"Yes," the princess said sadly, "but I'll see you again, right?"
"Just tell me when." That was the start of a friendship. The two girls became inseparable, and seemed to share everything with one another. They'd have sleep overs, and go to movie nights. Those sleep overs became cuddling; and those movie nights became dates. They never crossed any lines they couldn't turn back from, the innocence of their relationship so pure. The girls would never admit it but they had fallen deeply for each other, it was unspoken and beautiful and that's how it would stay. That is until…
The two girls lay intertwined in each other's grasp, as the cool breeze whistled past the curtains into the dark spacious room. Bonnibel lay with her head on Marceline's chest as she mulled over her thoughts, her heart began to beat faster so much so that she could hear it in her ears.
"Marcy?" her voice sounded so much smaller than her own.
"Yes, Bonni?" the vampire answered calmly.
After briefly yawning the pink girl then breathed in deeply and spoke."I-I…Um don't kn-know how to say this…but I…you know when you like someone a whole lot, your brain releases hormones that…um no…what I'm trying to say is that I am utterly infatuated by your existence, Marceline," the pink girl blushed furiously as she quietly waited for the vampire's response.
Marceline shifted uncomfortably as she feigned a smile, she'd never had someone say something so sweet, so meaningful to her, she'd never felt so vulnerable. She didn't like it, it filled her with a feeling she hadn't felt in such a long time. Fear. She realized that the pink girl's breathing had slowed and was spaced irregularly indicating that she'd fallen asleep. "You too, Bonni."
After that night the vampire became quite distant. Slowly she started to fade. The princess went days without seeing her, days became weeks, and weeks became months. Five years had passed without word from the vampire. Though she still thought of the vampire quite often she'd found ways to busy herself; with her experiments, adventures with Finn and Jake, as well as tending to her kingdom. Somehow the vampire seemed to seep into her consciousness on those dark and lonely nights when there seemed to be nowhere to escape.
One day the young hero Finn had informed her that some vampire lady had kicked them out of their house, but had later given it back. Then princess knew it was Marceline. Why hadn't she come to tell the girl that she was back in Ooo? Why didn't she even let her know that she was okay all this time? The princess felt frustrated as a mixture of happiness, sadness, and anger boiled in her veins as she clenched her fist, tears welled in her eyes but she told herself that she wouldn't cry. If Marceline didn't care about her that was okay, she'd return that exact sentiment. "Princess, are you okay?" Finn asked. She didn't answer the boy. Later on that week she heard a familiar scratching at her balcony door. The princess sighed as she closed her book and removed her glasses going to the door to open it. On the other side of the door was a grinning vampire, "Hey Bonni."
"What do you want?" the pink girl replied dryly.
"Ouch," the vampire replied dramatically as she threw her hand over her chest where her dormant heart resided, "What crawled up your butt? Can I come in?" The girl pushed past the princess not waiting for an answer.
The princess rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed with the girl's presence. She felt herself grow more and more angry as she thought about how the vampire had left and went all this time without as much as a 'goodbye' and now was just expecting everything to go back to normal. "Earth to Princess," Marceline waved her hand infront of the girl's face, "To be so smart you sure do have quite a lot of poobrain, Pinky," the vampire chuckled smirking at the younger girl. That's when Bonnibel lost it, "You...You...YOU BUTT!" she pushed the vampire knocking her up against the wall. She poked her slender finger into the girl's chest as she spoke, "Do you have any idea, any clue whatsoever of how long it's been? Did it not occur to you to let me know that'd you'd be gone. You left for five flipping years! Do you know how long that is? Do you have any clue how much I worried about you?" The vampire's opened her mouth and shut it then she finally spoke, "B-bonni I..." The princess cut her off, "Don't you Bonni me! Do you know how many times I lost sleep worrying about you, praying to Glob that you weren't dead? Hm? Do you know how many times I cried over you, even cried myself to sleep?" heavy tears welled in the pink girl's eyes threatening to fall. "Do you?!" her voice cracked as she poked the girl in the chest again, "So now you have nothing to say?" Tears now flowed freely. The vampire enclosed the princess into an embrace she felt horrible; she'd done this. She had hurt who had meant the most to her. Marceline held the girl tightly as she kissed the tears from the girls face, then captured her lips with her own kissing her passionately attempting to express what she couldn't put into words, the Princess kissed her back with the same fervor. The princess then started pounding her fists against the taller girl's chest willing her to release her, she finally pushed the grey girl off of her as she yelled through tears and broken sobs, "NO! Y-you can't do this. You can't just come back and kiss it all better! That's not how it works."
Tears now threatened to fall from Marceline's eyes as she spoke "Bonni, just let me expl-"
"Don't call me that! It's Princess Bubblegum to you."
Those words cut deep, and cut deep into a heart that had long since stopped beating. "Just let me explain."
"Get out," the princess pointed to balcony.
"No, listen to me. I didn't leave because of you Bon—Princess. Demons overran the Nightosphere and were attempting to rise up against my Father. I had to go, my people needed me. Of all people I'd expect you to understand that!" Marceline said shakily as stray tears traveled down her cheeks.
The princess was not convinced and this angered her even more; she collected herself and regained her regal composure. "I had every right to believe what people told me about you. About you...you creatures! Nothing but lying, manipulative, evil, bloodsucking, nightcrawlers! I see it now, I see through your roux; and I for one am done with your lies," the princess pointed toward the door, "If you would now take your leave. Goodbye."
Each word was like a stake straight through the vampire's chest, she floated past the princess and out onto the balcony turning to the princess, "I know you don't mean that, you're just angry..."
"Oh, but I do. I mean every single word. Goodbye," with that Bubblegum shut the door in the vampire's face and latched it.
That night she cried herself to sleep, and beat herself up over and over for being so cruel to the vampire; that night she wasn't the only one who shed tears.
Another year had passed since the two girl's had really talked, the tension between the two had subsided a bit and they could at least be civil in the company of friends. One day the Princess was getting a shirt from her drawer after putting it on she realized that something had dropped on the floor, she picked up the band t-shirt that the vampire had given her so long ago. Suddenly a yellow man came through a door shaped portal and snatched the shirt that she held. She needed to get that shirt back. Soon her young champion and his dog along with a game console came through the portal. The princess later found out that he had also taken things from Finn, Jake, and BMO. They followed him and soon found themselves in a living room that looked familiar to the princess; she remembered that red couch from anywhere. It was Marceline's house. She felt something in her stiffen at the thought, she knew today would be no walk in the park. The vampire joined the gang of friends in their attempt to open to door to retrieve their stolen items. The tension between the two was high, they'd been arguing all day; constant back and forth about the littlest of things. The tension they caused made the others uncomfortable, since only the two knew exactly why they were arguing. Marceline's attempt to open it was nearly successful, but Bubblegum couldn't help but feel that the song was directed toward her in some way. After Finn finally opened the door and the gang beat up the Door Lord and retrieved their items, Marceline had found that the shirt she'd given Bonni with the two marshmallows and the snake had been her most prized possession. Bonni had confirmed that she did actually wear the shirt, as pajamas. The events of that day had relieved some of the animosity the two girls held toward each other and had ultimately gotten them to where they were today.
Marceline felt her eyes droop as sleep kissed the lids of her eyes. She had her Bonni back, and she wouldn't fuck it up this time.
Bubblegum woke up as slivers of sunlight streamed into the room; she rubbed her eyes as she looked around the room trying to adjust to her surroundings. There was a knock at the door, "Princess, there's a gentleman here to see you by the name of Braco. He says it is important." The princess rolled her eyes as she mumbled to herself, "Can't a girl at least have breakfast first? I'll be down posthaste!" She hurried through her morning routine making her way down to the throne room as she pushed past the doors she noticed a tall yellow man with brown hair wearing a yellow shirt, khaki pants, and brown boots. He was slender yet muscular, he slightly resembled a banana guard but he held a slightly more humanoid form.
"Ah, Princess; you have no idea how long I've waited for you. Today is a most joyous day!" he said as he looked up towards then heavens then kneeled as he grabbed the princess's hand and kissed the back of it. His actions made her shift uncomfortably, "I-I came as soon as I was notified," the princess began.
Braco laughed heartily interrupting the princess, as he let go of Bubblegum's hand "No, Princess I've waited for you since the beginning of my existence. My grandfather Hobus was the Marquis of Fruitlandia, and his son–my father, Loghan was a royal guard and was originally promised your hand in marriage by your uncle and predecessor Gumbald in order to establish an alliance between the Candy Kingdom and Fruitlandia. Fortunately my father fell in love with a beautiful maiden and begot me, meaning that I was to now take your hand in marriage. I was born solely to love you. Can't you see…? I've waited my whole life for this moment."
This guy has got to be nuts, she thought to herself, Can you say delusional? "Uh…Okay…" the princess nodded as she backed out of the room slowly, "I'll, um…be right back? Yeah…"she left the man alone with his thoughts. She leaned back against the wall outside of the throne room, as Peppermint Butler passed she snatched the little man up and shook him fiercely. "What the cabbage?!"
The little man squirmed in the princess's grasp, "I-I don't know milady, he showed up claiming that he was your suitor and that you two are to be betrothed. Look at it this way, it's about time you settled down you're not getting any younger, eh?" The princess glared at the peppermint man as she tightened her grip on him as she spoke to him in a voice scarier than her own, "You. Fix this. NOW!"
Upstairs a sleeping vampire's ears twitched as she tossed and turned, caught within a nightmare; a foreboding feeling nestled itself deep within her stomach.
