Love Bites!

I'll teach you

It was the day after he had his sword lesson with Marshall Lee. Gumball ached from head to toe. This was the second time in a week he had woken up late. Work was falling behind and he needed to catch up. A loud groan made it's way past his lips as he sat up to stare out of the window. It looked like there might be a storm coming this way. A soft knock was herd at the door. "Sir you have visitors" it took him a minuet before he answered "who?" He yawned rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Miss Fiona and Miss Cake" Peppermint said through the door. Gumball sighed. "Alright.. please tell them to wait a moment while I dress" the maid made a small noise in response and off she went leaving Gumball to get dressed.
He found his friends out on another balcony sipping tea and talking. "Hello lady's sorry to have kept you waiting" He said with his usual bubbly smile. "Hey man!" Fiona said "Hey sugar" cake followed. "I figured I would take you up on that offer for tea.. and cake wanted to she her oh-so-precious Monochrome" Fiona's eye brows went up and down toward her half sister causing her to huff in response. Gumball laughed. "Well he should be in the garden where he usually is but since the weather looks like this I do believe he might be in the library, maybe?" She perked up. "Well I'll leave you to love birds alone" and off she went leaving Fiona and Gumball blushing. She was just his close friend and also way to young for him, he could never like her in a romantic way. She was more like a sister, in every way possible. She even teased with him like a sister would. "So" He started, breaking the silence "Thanks for asking Marshall to help me learn my way with a sward" she looked confused. "Um Gumball? What the glob are ya talkin' about?"
"Marshal said something about you wanted me to be able to protect myself so you asked his to teach me how to defend myself with a sword"
   She shook her head. "No, well I mentioned it to him after we finished up the Hug-wolves thing.. but I didn't expect him to take it seriously"
"oh" the prince hummed, looking out toward the gloomy woods.
"I guess he did" Fiona nodded
"yeah I guess so". If he didn't really have to do it then Gumball would teach him something in return. That was fair. The question was what? "Hey Fi what's something Marshall isn't capable of doing or doesn't know how to do?"      He asked looking back at her. "Well, I don't know man.. why?"
  He smiled "oh no reason, do you think he would take any interest in science?" She thought for a moment.
  "He doesn't seem like the type, but you're gonna have to ask him yourself". Gumball contemplated, he hadn't really wanted to take up sword lessons himself so why not? "Well" Gumball stated aloud "Then I'll teach him science" Fiona muffled a laugh "y-you have fun with that gummy" she stood " It's been good but I should be getting back, I'll find cake, library right?"
"yes most likely"
"alright I'll go find her myself, see ya!"
He grinned " Bye bye Fiona" And away she went.
What was the prince to teach the king? How to bring back the dead? No no no not what after happened last time. Maybe he should think of a completely new experiment to try with him. Something to make it fun though. "I got it!" He whispered to himself "I'll make a serum that will allow him to be present in sunlight!". He hoped marshall would say yes but he would have to ask him tomorrow seeing as it was almost noon now.
That day as he was signing paperwork and marking bills in his check book he couldn't stop wondering what new strategy he would be learning tomorrow, and If Marshall would even say he would help with the project. He gave a low sigh, really he needed to focus on this.
Marshall pulled on a big black jacket. With his arms and face covered he left for LSP's party. "This is gonna be sick" he chuckled to himself. Just as he was about to open the door to leave it opened my itself. "Marshall?" He paused "hey Fi what's up? I was just about to go to LSP's bash, wanna go?"
"Sure man" she giggled "where's the cat?" The king asked.
"With MC" She said in a sigh, not that she wasn't happy for her friend, just bored without her.
"alright well let's head out" he said getting tired.
  They were walking in heavy silence, well Marshall was floating mostly. "You know I was just suggesting when I said you should teach Gumball how to use a weapon right?"
  He shrugged "I guess yeah" they both stopped "Are you planing on pranking him?" She raised her brow.
"Nah just wanna teach him is all ya know, I've know him longer then you think, we used to be totally close but then we just started to split. He's always been strong willed and I guess that's why I was cool with him, even if I mess around a lot, but when I saw him about to get attack by the hug-wolves he didn't look strong willed or proud anymore.. He... he looked frightened. So many years in that castle will do it to ya I guess, so no I'm not pranking him I really want to see him strong willed again."
Fiona looked completely dumbfounded, she didn't even think Marshall new that many words! "Holy babies man I've never seen that look on your face before"
  A devilish grin crossed his face. "But if he just happened to be tired and sore then that's a bonus"
  Fi playfully punched him in the arm. They started walking joking around and nagging on each other and by the time they reached the party the sun had set. Now was the kings time to shine and with that thought he leaped into the crowds of people.
