Red Kingdom

Will you?

Bubblegum POV

Ever since our last date, I'd say we hit it off. My mind is constantly replaying that kiss. I remember feeling her cold soft lips against mine and smelling her vanilla aroma. It felt like heaven. But right now, I'm not really sure how to explain us. Are we more than friends? Or are we just friends? Half of me want to be her girlfriend, and the other half of me think it's insane and crazy to date a vampire queen.

It's been days since I last saw Marcy and I'm missing her like crazy. Marcy makes me feel these feelings that I can't contain. I swear, every time I think or here about her, I feel myself blush. I know I'm sounding really cheesy, but glob sakes, Marcy.

Marceline POV

I've got everything I need tonight. I've got red food, red wine, red roses, and a red blanket. I hope Bonnie enjoys tonight. I feel like tonight is the night and I hope she says yes. I mean, she will right? For glob's sake I kissed her! And she seemed like she was enjoying it.

I got up my phone and I called her. The phone picked up but it wasn't Bubblegum but Peppermint Butler. He said in his squeaky voice, "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's Marceline. Can I talk to PB?"

"Just one minute please."

It went silent for a minute until I heard that sweet voice saying, "Hello?"

"Hey Bonnie!"

"Marcy? Oh hey. What's up?"

"Tonight, before sunset."

"What are you talking about Marcy?"

"You'll see later, just be ready before sunset."

"I don't know Marcy."

"Oh come on Bonnie, it's important."

"Fine, but only because you sound cute when you whine."

"Ugh, whatever. See you tonight."

I hang up and I start preparing for our surprise date.

Bubblegum POV

After that call with Marcy, I think about what she's doing. Marcy can be tricky sometimes. Is tonight going to be the night she asks me? Or is it just going to be a normal date? Well, none of our dates are normal even though we had two. Maybe she was trying out for a normal date tonight. A date with picnic and food and cuddling. Wow Bonnie, cheesy?

Since it's just a few hours away from sunset, I start to get ready. I head over to my bathroom and start stripping down my clothes. I then turn on my shower and wait for it to heat up.

Once it's heated up I step in and start to wash myself. My whole body is covered from my lab work. I'm quite ashamed that I haven't taken a shower in a few days since I've been working in my lab non-stop, but it's a good feeling to feel cleansed and refreshed. I think about what Marcy is planning tonight. Before sunset? What is she doing? My mind then wanders on to what we are. Jumping to conclusions. Wow right? But I wonder, what are we? We only went on one date, well two if I count the time she saved me. Are we moving too fast? Or are we moving too slow? I'm thinking ahead to much like we're not even a couple or anything. She never asked me to be her girlfriend. That word. Girlfriend. It makes me feel jittery about it but I like it. I really hope she asks me soon, but then again, I should also be the one asking about it too. I should make the move of asking her. Great Bonnie, thinking ahead too much. 

I spend about 45 minutes showering. Mostly I spent about 15 minutes actually washing myself and the rest thinking about Marcy and me. Glob, the way Marcy makes me think. Marcy seems to always be on my mind. When I wake up, Marcy. When I eat, Marcy. When I watch some movie or listen to music, Marcy. When I work on an experiment, Marcy. The last thing I think about when I sleep, Marcy. It's so cliche of how much she's on my mind. I hope she thinks of me the same way. Am I always on her mind? Keep it together Bonnie.

I head over to my closet and decide what to wear. Is this date even important? Or is it just another date where we fool around? I think about the outfit I want to wear tonight, but at the end, I end up with just a casual white dress. Nothing too fancy or too plain. I look over to the clock and realize I have about an hour till I head over to where Marcy wants us to meet. Maybe working on a lab wouldn't hurt

Marceline POV

I'm just wearing black. Just black. I'm wearing black combat boots, black jeans, a black collar shirt, and a black blazer over. I swear, the only thing white is my skin. I look over to the clock and realize I have 30 minutes till I meet Bonnie. I look at the gift I have in my hand that I'll give Bonnie when I ask her the burning question inside of me. I decide to leave early because I need to be there before Bonnie so I can surprise her.

I then pick up the picnic basket with food, a blanket, and candles inside and I also slip in the gift for Bonnie. I then start heading out and fly over to the spot. The spot is a place on a hill and on it is one single bench, and that bench is sitted right in front of a view of where the sun is setting. It was a perfect view even though I am half a vampire and burned by the sun.  But anything for Bonnie.

I arrive at the spot and start setting up. I light the fire and set out the blanket and food. I keep the gift in the picnic basket. Everything was set right before the sunset. Now all I just have to do is wait. 

2 HOURS LATER

It's been a long time since I've been here. Bonnie hasn't showed up and the sun already set. Please don't tell me she got captured by Simon again. Bonnie isn't like this. She's never late for a meeting. Something is wrong and I gotta know. 

I decide to pack up and head towards her castle. I hope she's okay, and if she's not, then I don't know what I would do with myself. I could've been there to prevent herself from getting hurt. I'm going to hate myself if she's hurt.

I go through the window of where I usually go through to get through Bonnie's room. Her room is pitch black but I could see all the experiments she's been working on. I couldn't find her. It was like an abandoned home, besides the fact that there was staff downstairs. I couldn't see anything till I saw a shade of pink in my eye. I walked over and saw that face. Bonnie was unconscious. What? Why? How? I run over to her and and drop everything. I pick her up in my arms and I'm crying. What happen? I then pick her up in my arms and take her to her bed. There's nothing I could do because I don't know what happen. I then look around her room and figure what happen. 

I see all the experiments lying on the floor and tables. Bonnie's been working like crazy on all of these labs, she must've blacked out from exhaustion. Why didn't she tell me she was working herself? I should've rescheduled the date. 

As she's laying in bed, I decide to tell her what I was going to say on our date. 

"Bonnie, I know we have been enemies for a long time, but I want to change that. I know that the date changed everything, but I just want to clear things up. I love you Bonnibel Bubblegum, and I don't want to be your foe anymore. I want to be yours forever. I don't care if I don't age and you do. I will love you when you're pruny and all. Haha see Bonnie, you make me smile so  much you don't even recognize it. You probably won't even hear this while you're sleeping. Bonnie, I know this is just the beginning, but I want to say that I love you so much. I can say that over a million times, because glob, you make me fall in love with you every time. The way how you would always argue against me to prove something right, or when you would just act weird because you drank too much coffee to keep you awake, or when you just look at me and smile. The simple things you do Bonnie, makes me want to love you. Bonnie, you make me freaking happy. I know I've treated you horribly in the past, but I want to change that. I promise you I will make you feel wanted and loved every single freaking day of your life. I want you to know that you're always on someone's mind and that that mind is mine. I will  keep this promise forever, even if somehow we break up, I will keep this promise with me because I will still love you no matter what. Now Bonnibel Bubblegum, will you please, be my girlfriend?"

I look at her beautiful face and see no reaction. I know she's blacked out but I wanted to tell her that because I've been holding it in too long. I then take out the gift out of the basket and set it on her side table. I then write a little note saying, "Yes or No?" and place it next to the gift. I quietly fly out of her room and head towards my house.
