"Bubba!! Where are we going!!!??"
"Keep your eyes closed, we're almost there!!"
Marceline laughed, trying to keep her eyes closed, and her big floppy sunhat on top of her head as bubba dragged her 'who knows where'.
Bubba was laughing along with her, being careful not to pull off her long silk gloves, and trying not to strain her.
It was only a month ago that they had been officially 'Together', now that Hunson approved, they almost felt invincible.
Marceline was now 3 months into her pregnancy, her tummy had sure signs of roundness now....
It was small, very small, she'd always complain about how it was starting to stretch out her favorite Rock shirts, and how uncomfortable her tight jeans were getting.
But she secretly found it to be very cute.....
Baby was already being a pain to it's parents...and it wasn't even born yet.
Because of it's growth, Marcy had to wear some more....loose....clothing.
Today's wear, a white sleeveless dress to match her gloves and the ribbon on her sunhat.
Bubba made it, he never really liked to talk about the fact that he could sew, but now, it felt rather fitting.
It had been almost impossible to convince her to even WEAR it, but along with some comfortable knee-high socks and boots, she managed to accept it.
It was nighttime, 4:00 am to be exact, it wouldn't be much longer till the sun was up.
"Okay we're here, open your eyes"
She cracked one eye open.
"Oh..bubba..wow"
They were on a hill, a hill with a beautiful clear sky out, they could see the stars from where they were standing.
Well, what's left of them of course.
But that wasn't everything.
There was an umbrella, making a nice shady spot over a blanket.
The blanket was spread out, along with an array of treats, red and otherwise, a meal fit for a queen.
Bubba turned to her.
"I thought that maybe we'd have a nice night out and watch the sunrise...."
She grinned, fangs poking out from under her lip.
"How long have you been planning this?"
He squeezed her hand, still intertwined with his.
"For awhile, now that you've reached 3 months, I want us to do something nice together, outside the kingdom."
"Awwwww, is wittle ickle princey tired of being pampered?" she said in a mocking baby voice.
They both sat down underneath the umbrella.
He'd obviously had it out so the sun wouldn't hit her whence morning came, no matter that he ALSO was the one who made her put on the hat and gloves for extra protection.
She kinda wondered if he probably also required the umbrella to keep him from melting.
The couple sat together, hand in hand, watching the stars.
Marceline even rested her head on top of his shoulder.
"This is nice....."
"Yeah" He replied, "I wish we could do this more often.."
"Y'know bubba, I never quite understood that...."
"Understood what?"
"What's it about being a prince that sucks so much....your rich, you get everything, everyone loves you....what's the deal?"
"Well..." He said sighing. "I'm under a lot of pressure, there's an entire kingdom that relies on me."
He took another deep breath
"I don't ever get what I truly want....people control me and my life and my people are to come first...."
His free hand reached over to pet the end strands of her soft raven hair.
"I had suitors y'know, after I failed with all those other gals my people became more desperate for me to find someone....so they tried to get so many suitors, hoping I'd like at least one of them."
"And they all sucked right?" She asked
"Well..." He considered, thinking back. "Some of them were kinda okay.....some..well...I wouldn't of minded if ice queen had came in early for her annual kidnapping"
Marceline cackled.
"Good thing I came to rescue you from all those horribly.attractive.women"
"There were some nice ladies...but I preferred the idea of marrying for love"
Marceline looked up at him.
"Bubba?"
"Hmm?"
"Would you have married one of em if I hadn't come along?"
He looked down at her.
"Maybe....I probably would've had to...for my kingdoms sake."
She snorted in response
"I guess I'm starting to see the problem.."
They sat in silence, The crickets had stopped chirping.
"Y'know marce....I wish I could be like you."
"Be...like..me? Oh bubbs, being like me..isn't..right"
"Well...not LIKE you like you. But live like you at least, sometimes I wish we could both have a quiet life together."
He nuzzled his face against her hair.
"Live in your cottage, no rules, plenty of privacy, just the two of us..."
"Don't you think it'd get boring? I mean. What would you do all day?"
"I could tour with your band?" He suggested "It'd be awesome"
"Yeah" She replied, grinning. "We could make out on the couch, and I could teach you more on rock music, and we'd have a total blast"
She slowly frowned in realization.
"But that's not reality....is it?"
He quickly noticed her change in emotion.
"No...no it's not...."
He didn't like seeing her sad, no doubt the mood swings were probably kicking in...
He changed the subject.
"How about we eat? I know you're hungry and I'm pretty sure the little one is probably hungry too..."
Luckily the thought of food seemed to lighten her up a bit.
"Food yeah...yeah I probably should eat something"
She skimmed around the blanket, bubba had obviously packed plenty of red treats, but there was also a few other things.
"How about this?" Bubba took a small plate from next to him.
Red Velvet Cake with strawberries.
"You know me too well bubba"
She immediately grabbed a strawberry and sucked it dry, leaving it grey and discolored.
She wasn't finished yet.
"Yo, open wide!"
"Marceline wait wh-"
She shoved it into his mouth, he chewed it slowly, it had only lost it's color, so it was still just as flavorable as any strawberry should be.
"Mmmmmm.. its.. reel ..gewd" He said, still chewing.
She cackled in response.
"Glad to hear, now c'mon, dig in gumbutt"
She immediately started grabbing berries off her plate and holding them up to her mouth, soon they all became a beautiful white or a dim grey.
She never really realized just how hungry she was, perhaps because even BEFORE the baby, she would eat a lot.
Bubba didn't really mind it, he loved cooking and baking anyway, it was nice to have someone enjoy his food so much.
Marceline then picked up a fork before proceeding to eat the cake, sucking it's color before popping bit by bit into her mouth. She never really NEEDED to eat normal food, it was only red that was completely necessary to her survival, but food brought back old memories.
And why not enjoy good food?
Bubba also proceeded to eat, taking anything he could before Marceline got her hands on it.
The couple proceeded to eat in silence, before gumball tried to engaged her in a small conversation.
"Y'know that dress looks pretty good on you..." He said, smirking. "Told you sewing has it's perks.."
She huffed in response, "Perks or no perks, next time, make me something that's looks less....bonnibel-ish"
"Awww c'mon Marceline, you look beautiful, there's no bows or frills or even any pink, it's fine"
"Easy for you to say, this kinda stuff is normal for you to wear"
"Only during ceremonies and formal events" He corrected " In all honesty, it's nice to dress casual, much more comfortable."
"Then you see my problem, I dress casual all the time...."
He grew a mischievous grin.
"Well, I guess that means you'll have to wear more dresses until you get used to it.."
She playfully punched his shoulder in response.
"Very funny"
She finished consuming the last drop of red and the last few crumbs off her plate, now completely satisfied, she leaned back, hitting the ground.
Gumball leaned back next to her.
"Ahhhhh, are you pleased my queen?"
"Yeah, my gut's full, so now what?"
"I don't know....I brought something to play, we could mess around with that?" He suggested with a shrug. "It'll be morning soon"
"You got my axe??!! Gimme!"
"Well actually....."
He reached inside his shirt and removed a locket from around his neck, it looked old, and gumball had apparently been hiding in his shirt for who knows how long.
Marceline looked at it in confusion.
"Uh bubba, what's up with the necklace?"
He opened the locked up to show her what was inside. On one side was a picture, Marceline recognized it right away, it was a picture of the two of them at a party, one of Finn's movie nights specifically. They were holding hands on the couch, sleeping peacefully, Marceline's head rested oh his shoulder, his own head resting atop hers.
"Bubba....isn't that the pic Marshall took after we fell asleep? How'd you get it?"
He shrugged, "Pulled a few strings with marsh, but that's not the best part"
He enthusiastically, turned her towards the other side of the locket.
There sat a small red button.
"Go on" He said, "Press it"
"It's not gonna blow up, is it?"
"Awww c'mon marce, don't you trust me?" He said, giving her a reassuring smile.
Taking a deep breath,She carefully reached over and gave the small red dot a push.
The small necklace begun to shift, vibrating and growing in bubba's hand.
It soon grew big, and was no longer in the form of a locket.
It's chain had become a shoulder strap, but the rest of the locket had become-
"It's a bass" Gumball said, holding up the marvelous thing. "I made it"
The queen stared in awe, she had a lot of instruments, but none had ever accomplished what this one had just done...
"You...made this?"
Noticing her expression, he carefully begun to explain.
"I-I was just thinking, th-that maybe I should use the magic oven again and well-"
Gumball's magic oven was an artifact to the candy people, buried deep beneath the kingdom itself, it held wondrous power. Gumball had made fionna a sword with it once, one that had magical properties, magical properties that she had already used up. Despite it's power, it was rarely used, perhaps because the prince was one of the only people who could use it, and he had never wanted to take advantage of such a priceless artifact.
This was special though, he didn't know when he'd have a better opportunity to give her this kind of present, they might live together, but they rarely had moments like this.
Marceline traced her fingers all around the shiny new instrument, slightly plucking it's strings, and admiring it's bright red color.
"I had to call in flame prince again.." The prince said, watching her study the instrument. "Oven still won't light properly, he was happy to do it.."
"It's beautiful......"
He looked surprised, "You like it?"
She wrapped both her arms around his neck, hugging him.
"Dude, of course I like it!! it's a freaking magic bass!!!"
Her carefully grabbed her waist, "Oh heh, right"
"Geeezzzz dude, lay off the awesome presents, how the heck do you expect me to top you?"
He chuckled, "Go ahead, try it out vampire queen"
She placed the instrument on her lap, it sat in front her small bump.
"Okay, I'll just make something up on the spot.."
She tuned her instrument for her small show, the bass was light, despite it's size.
She made a few humming noises, and then proceeded to sing.
" I know a guy~
An unusual guy~
He never will just pass me by~
He enjoys baking~
and if I said I did I'd be faking~
But we stay together through and through
So we both don't feel like poo~"
She playfully ended her song with a fake bow, bubba clapped.
'Well done"
She winked, "Like always"
The prince now checked his watch.
"Almost time, just push the button again for it to change back"
She allowed the bass to become a locket once more an then placed it around her neck.
The vampire then placed a small peck on her boyfriends cheek before sitting down next to him.
"Thanks dude, this things pretty cool'
They sat in awkward silence as the show begun.
A beautiful beam of orange poked out from beyond the hills, along with purple, magenta, unusual reds, and blended yellows.
"Wow...."
But they weren't the only ones watching....
The sun soon peaked out from the hills, Marceline tilted her hat and scooted towards the umbrella for guaranteed safety.
Gumball now felt a slight bit of concern, "Maybe this wasn't a good idea, you okay?"
"Yeah yeah, I'm fine, don't worry" She grabbed onto his arm tightly.
"You sure?"
"Positive"
But then her eyes grew wide, she sniffed the air, a familiar scent was nearby, lurking in the bushes.
She turned towards her boyfriend, almost desperate.
"Bubba, we gotta leave, now!"
"Marceline what's wron-"
BOOM
An icy bolt pinned the ground next to them, staking right through the blanket and into the ground beneath them.
They both shuddered as they heard a familiar cackle.
"HAHAHAHA, I HAVE YOU NOW!!!"
The ice queen rose out from her hiding spot, grinning evilly, and obviously very pleased with the circumstances.
Her feet touched the ground, she glared menacingly at the rival queen holding onto her prince.
"Well well, if it isn't the runt who stole my gumball"
Marceline sneered back, "He was never yours to take, hag!!!"
She might care for Simon, but as far as his character, the ice queen, she could care less if she ripped out her throat. Simon was lovable, this witch, was anything but.
"You've got a lot to say for someone who's surrounded by her weakness"
It was true, with the sun out, how could she fight? Hats and umbrellas wouldn't help In this situation.
She'd been planning this.....
The ice queen's grin grew at Marceline's almost panicked expression.
"I've been meaning to find a time to teach you a lesson about getting involved in my business runt!! Not even tomboy is here to protect either of you!!"
Gumball had never felt more panicked in his life, his pregnant girlfriend couldn't fight, and here was a women who wouldn't hesitate to kill her in one blow.
Along with his baby....
He walked a few steps towards the ice queen.
"IQ, take me, just don't hurt her, please..."
IQ almost seemed to take this into consideration
but it didn't last long
ZAP
Gumball could feel his body stiffen, and a rush of extreme cold surrounded his body. He'd been captured in a icy block.
"Sorry prince, but this one must learn her lesson"
Marceline had never seen him so terrified in her life.
No eyeball rolling, scary faces, hisses, or sarcasm could get her out of this situation. She was a sitting duck right now, and there wasn't a chance of escape.
But then an idea came to her....it had to work....it HAD to.
"Listen ice witch, what's there to gain by trying to kill me? You kill a pregnant gal, and I don't think even fionna's gonna give you any mercy."
"With you outta the way, he's all mine" She nodded towards the frozen prince.
"Actually...you have ALOT more people to deal with..." She started counting with her fingers. "Fionna and Cake, Finn and Jake ain't gonna be happy, Marshall will probably be pissed, oh and bonnibel, the banana guards, as well as BOTH of the candy kingdoms, maybe not my kingdom so much...if I die to 'natural causes' they'll just compete to take my spot, the fire ele-"
"QUIET!!!"
Her fingertips gleamed, she was about to strike.
"I'M. NOT. LETTING .YOU. KEEP .ME .AWAY .FROM .MY .PRINCE!!!"
True to plan, Marceline ducked under the umbrella, allowing it to cover her entire body. Now she just had to hope that the queen made the right actions, or she was toast.
Ice queen flew over the umbrella, she created an ice blade with one hand, ready to pierce it.
Gumball couldn't tell what was happening behind him, but it didn't sound good.
He made an effort to turn his head around, and what he saw terrified him.
Ice queen flying above an umbrella, preparing for her chance to stab right through it.
She was gonna stake her.
"ICE QUEEN NO!!!!"
CLING
The blade pierced through the umbrella and into the ground, gumball turned away, crying, he couldn't watch.
"No....no...."
Ice queen picked up the umbrella by it's top, nothing was underneath, her staked heart had turned to dust.
"How pathetic....." She sneered. Placing the umbrella back onto the ground, she grabbed the prince and proceeded to fly upward towards home.
Gumball was crying, heavily, as if his entire world had exploded twice over.
"How...how could you...Marceline.."
Out of range and out of sight the umbrella started to move, for a little bat underneath had avoided being pierced, and after hiding inside the umbrella, she had to go find help.
Marceline breathed a sigh of relief, if IQ had taken the umbrella rather than stabbed it, she would've been dead for real.
She whispered a thank you to Jake for trying to stake her so long ago.
Her mind returned to gumball and how he must feel right now, he's probably terrified, and he now thought she was dead. There was no way she could just follow him with IQ around, especially seeing she still couldn't fight.
Her bat form was okay, in fact, she was lucky it had even worked, maybe she couldn't fly as a vampire, but as a bat it didn't seem to affect her at all.
One of her abilities still worked...
Lifting the umbrella to protect her, she flew off in search of help, holding onto her locket tightly, it had shrunk along with her transformation, it was magic.
She flew around, searching and calling for help, someone....anyone... had to fix this mess
