Marceline's POV

"Oh. My glob! He did what?! Tell us more!" Flame Princess begged me. Her, Lumpy Space, and myself were sitting on a couch in LS' room. Everything in the room was a shade of either pink or purple, and there were little golden stars painted on the walls.

I had just told them the events of what happened when Marshall escorted me into his guest room. The event bothered me, and the urge to tell someone overpowered my urge to sleep. This had never happened before. I'm usually strong enough to keep my thoughts to myself. I guess this situation was different.

"Ok fine." I huffed and looked down at my hands in my lap. FP's and LS' eyes grew big as I wove the story together, trying not to leave out any parts. They giggled when I said that I 'sleep-stripped'. 

When I finished the story the two bursted out laughing, leaving me with a puzzled look on my face. 

"What's so funny?" I asked them, getting slightly irritated. 

"Girl! Are you blind? That's messed up!" Lumpy Space cackled.

"No. I'm not. Well...Why the hell do I feel like this?" I demanded.

"Ok! Ok. Calm yo tits." Flames giggled and came down from her laughing fit.

"We think-" FP and LSP looked at each other for a second. "-Marshall Lee is into you!"

What? What did they say? Marshall is into me?! I m-mean... NO! No! I don't like him! I DO. NOT. LIKE. HIM! Wouldn't every man would get flustered if they saw a woman in nothing but her bra and underwear?

"N-no. I'm sorry for him, but I don't like him back." I replied while I crossed my arms. "He will just have to spend his immortal life living with that fact."

"Jeez. Don't be so rash! You just met the guy." said Flames.

"Ya. Just like, give it a chance to like, blossom and stuff." LSP added.

"Blossom? Ha." I scoffed. "He's an arrogant, and selfish jerk. I mean, the guy won't even let me touch his guitar!"

"Hey. Maybe the guitar has some sentimental value to him? Like how you are with Hambo." Flames said.

I hadn't thought about it that way. Maybe there was something special about the guitar that Marshall didn't want anyone to mess with. Like how Hambo reminded me of Simon, before he became the Ice King. And, I usually don't let anyone touch my own bass at home.  

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. 

"Come in! It's unlocked!" LSP hollered.

The door opened and a young adolescent with a white hat popped her head in. 

"Oh! Hi umm Fionna? Was it?" Flame Princess greeted.

The blonde female nodded her head quickly and answered with a peppy, "Yup!"

"So Gumball says to meet in the dining hall for dinner!" Could you guys follow me?" Fionna said.

"Uh yeah! Sure" I said and floated off of the bed. Flames and Lumpy followed.

At the dinner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sorry we are missing Marshall Lee here tonight." Prince Gumball said. Frankly, I was glad he wasn't here.

"I'm not so sure if he will be late or if he is not joining us at all." He finished.

We were sitting at the same room where breakfast was. The fine china plates in front of everyone each held a small roasted chicken, with a mountain of mashed potatoes on top that was smothered with gravy, with peas and carrots sprinkled on top of the potatoes. But my plate had various red foods including strawberries, an apple, and a red velvet cupcake.

"How do you all enjoy your rooms?" Gumball asked as everyone dug in. He sat at the far end of the rectangular dining table. 

"Oh its awesome!" Finn exclaimed with a mouthful of mashed potatoes.

"Finn, what did I tell you about eating with your mouth full?" PB quietly scolded. She can be such a mom sometimes.

Finn swallowed his food and replied, "To always swallow before speaking!" 

I noticed that he was sitting next to Fionna and they would steal looks when the other wasn't looking. Ah, young love. So adorable. Thank glob Flame Princess didn't notice though. I'm not so sure if she's completely over Finn yet. There are times when it looks like she's over him, and there are other times when it looks as if she misses him. Flames can be so confusing.

"So Marceline, do you find Marshall's room to your liking?" Gumball asked me while I was still deep in my thoughts. LSP who was sitting to my left had to nudge me in order to wake me up.

"Huh? Oh yeah! It's pretty chill." I replied while sucking the color out of a strawberry.

"You know, I would like to study more about vampires." He said.

"Uh huh..." I trailed off because of my uninterest of the topic.

"And Marshall doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me. So I was wondering if you could help me with my tests? Now I promise that I won't strap you down to a table and perform procedures or anything of that sort of thing on you." 

I pondered Gumball's offer for a moment.

"Well, as long as you don't split my body in half or dissect me then...I'm in." I said. I don't think I'd have anything better to do while I'm stuck here anyway.

"Ooh! Perfect!" He squealed and clapped his hands together.

Soon enough, dinner was done and dessert passed by. I barely talked the whole time because all the topics didn't spark my interests, and I was always deep in thought.

It was now time to return to our rooms. I talked a bit with Bonnibel, who was sitting with me on the couch in my room.

"Oh glob! He is soo attractive! He's smart, and kind, and has the most adorable little smile!" She giggled. 

Deep inside me, my undead heart dropped a little. I think, that I had a small liking for her. Although, she can be bossy at times, and acts like a mom, she cared about me. I gave her a band shirt a while ago that she selflessly sacrificed to a witch named Maja to get my beloved Hambo back. I later found out that Maja accepted the shirt because it contained 'emotional essence'. The essence came from our close friendship with each other. This fact really touched my cold, dead heart, which everyone knows is hard to do. But she doesn't know about, or suspects anything about this small liking. And, I'm not even sure if I like her! Because, there could be the possibility of Marshall and- oh god. Am I bi?
