Gummy Love

"Boo!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs as I was greeted by Marshall's face. I looked annoyingly at him and tried to get him off of me.

"Marshall, stop it! I'm in the middle of an experiment" I told him but he just stuck his tongue out at me.

"You're such a fuss Bubba" he laughed. "Just relax you're too stiff"

"And you're too laid back!" I shot back at him.

I turned back towards my experiment. It is very essential that I find the perfect solution for this. I can't afford to make any mistakes because with this I might be able to make another Gum person such as myself. I can't afford Marshall to distract me.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Marshall was suddenly in front of me and he grabbed for the flask that I was holding.

"Marshall give it back!" I yelled at him. I tried to get the flask back but he flew a few feet higher than me.

"Awww~ Gummy's angry" he mocked.

How dare he! I am the prince of the Candy Kingdom! I know he's the King but he doesn't even do his loyal duties properly. I can't believe this guy. Is it really that much fun teasing me?

"That is a very dangerous chemical that you should not even have possession of!" I keep telling him.

He laughed and flew circles above me while holding the flask carelessly. Really Marshall!? Stop being such a jerk!

"If you don't give it back I'll call Fiona" I warned him.

He turned to look at me his eyes looking directly at me. He looked ticked off. Did I just turn a switch on him? Don't tell me he likes Fiona!

"Oh~ I'm so scared~" Marshall faked. "That's why you're such a pussy Bubba! What? You're just going to let Fiona do all your battles for you?" he questioned.

Wait... Did he just sound angry right now?

"I can do it if I want to!" I said. I really can do it!

He was now a bit closer to me so I took the opportunity to grab the flask.

"Yes!" I exclaimed but Marshall still had a hold unto it. "Marshall! Let go!"

"Make me" he challenged. I tried pulling harder but his grip was too strong. I backed away for a bit then pushed him and then pulled on the flask.

Big mistake!

I forgot about how dangerous the chemical was so because of all the shaking due to the pull and push motion that it made an explosive reaction. Pink substance oozed out of the flask but it was going out with more and more pink substance like it just won't stop.

"My hair!" I suddenly heard Marshall shout. Indeed, some of the pink gooey like substance landed on his hair.

 It kept on increasing until it reached above my shoulders then when it went to my chin it stopped. It was sticky and had a sweet smell. Well, at least I think it wasn't as dangerous as I thought it would be. But I was completely stuck and couldn't get out from it.

"Argh! Stupid pink whatever this is!" I turned to Marshall and found him stuck on the ceiling. I laughed and he glared at me.

"Shut it Gumwad!"

"Hmph! Well, whose fault do you think this is?"

"Yours!"

"You're so annoying Marshall" I yelled at him. I am really losing my temper right now.

"It's all your fault Bubba" he stated. "It's all your fault that I'm acting like this" he said but he wasn't facing me.

I stared at him. "Me!? Why me!? How is this my fault?" I demanded.

"You drugged me didn't you!?"

Drug? Now why in Aaa's world would he think that I'd drug him?

"Glob Marshall! Why would you even think that I'd do that?" I asked him.

He blushed. Well, I think he did. I'm not so sure since his face is so white and his face turned a bit of a flesh like color for a second.

"So why do I feel like my heart hurts? I'm dead! I'm not supposed to feel anything!" Marshall yelled. "It's got to be one of your stupid experiments. There's no doubt about it and every time I try to figure it out you just keep on ignoring me and... and it hurts even more"

Whoaw... If only Marshall would look at me right now then he'd see how my eyes were wide! I can't believe Marshall Lee the king of the Nightosphere would actually say this to me.

I mean, really? Who's dense enough to not realize his own feelings? He likes me! For all these years I thought he hated me and now I'm really sure that he likes me.

"Stop staring at me!" I turned my attention back to Marshall. He was looking irritated. I began to laugh which earned me a surprise look from him.

"What's so funny?" Marshall's voice sounded really annoyed with me. "I told you all of this and you're just gonna laugh at me!?"

I slowly stopped laughing. I might actually find him cute right now. "You really don't get it do you?"

"What!? I don't know okay! Just tell me what the cure is already" he demanded.

"You're such a kid Marshall. You like me don't you?" I told him. He made a gawking face.

"W-What the hell are you talking about!?" he exclaimed.

"Then what else would explain all of these things that kept happening to you?" I questioned him. He thought for a second then came up with an answer.

"You drugged me of course!" he said it again. Ugh!

"You know Marshall, I actually like you, you know" when he heard me say that his eyes were going as wide as I did a while ago.

"T-That's not true! You hate me!" he said. I sighed, if he had said that years ago then I'd say Ýes, I hate you' but right now I actually find him quite... tolerable.

"No I do not Marshall" I told him. "I really like you"

His eyes were still looking at me with distrust. He made some kind of bite lip motion which most use when their contemplating on something or when their confused.

"Ya know... I don't really find you that annoying Gum" Marshall said but his face was facing back at me. Man, I think I really find him cute right now.

"So um, were friends right?" Marshall asked awkwardly. I was shocked but then smiled. I have always wanted to be friends with him and I have always thought of him like that, no matter how annoying and how of a jerk he is at times.

"We are friends Marshall" I corrected him. Marshall looked at me with surprise but it quickly turn into a grin.

"Prince Gumball what happened here!" Peppermint Maid suddenly went in. It must be time to clean the lab.

"Is it one of that Vampire's tricks again?"she asked and started swatting her broom at Marshall. Marshall pretty much dodged them all.

"No!" I yelled. "He is actually one of my precious friends" I smiled.

Peppermint Maid looked at me in shock but Marshall's face was more priceless. I chuckled, I guess this failed experiment wasn't such an epic fail after all.

Fin~
