Love Bites!

Set Up ~Part 1~

That morning Gumball was woken up early. Still hours from seeing the sun there came a sudden urgent knock at the door. With all his might the prince tried to Ignore it, but it came again making him greet his teeth with frustration. Finally when the third and final harsh knock came he jumped out of bed. Thats when he realized that the knocking, in fact, hadn't come from his door. Slowly his head turned to the window hoping that he knew full and well who it was. A few steps led him to the large two door balcony window, which he pushed open and unlocked with ease. The heavy windows flung open, the vampiric kin huffing and puffing as he leaned against the most heavily shadowed part of the room. The prince chuckled and gave a lighthearted sigh before closing the doors once more and turning on his heel. "Ah..what do you want Marshall?" He asked sleepily, rubbing the sleep dust from his eyes.
"My mother wants to see you and she wanted me to bring you so we could all talk" he wasn't his normal sly self, in fact he seemed almost depressed. 'Maybe he's just tired' Gumball reassured himself.
"Alright" he he grumbled in a defeated voice, there was no use in waging war with the queen of the night-o-sphere just because he was sleepy and, in all honestly, did feel like putting up with another one of her scandals or rants. "Allow me to get dress and we'll head out" Marshall nodded turning around and opening the windows. The air was thick and cold in the moments just before dawn, but that was an hour from now and the chill was a bit much, even for an undead vampire. The paler man walked out of Gumballs room and out onto the balcony in which he propping himself up against the wall, staring down at all the sleepy candy banana Guards. It was so calm and sweet here, everything seemed so unreal. The prince walked out and up to the vampire king swiftly running his hand through his own freshly combed pink locks of hair.
The prince took a moment to take in all of his kingdom, before staring at the melancholy vampire. After a brief few moments he cleared his throat and began. "Alright" he paused momentarily to stretch and blink away the last bit of sleepiness from his eyes. "Let's go...I guess".
"Well..before we go we should probably make you flame resistant" Marshall stated. Because he was so sleepy the prince had totally forgot but swiftly nodded as to get all of this ordeal done and over with. Marshall began chanting in Latin, when he finished his rhythmic spell he leaned forward and licked Gumball, his warm forked muscle sliding with ease up the boy's cute little bubble gum tasting cheek. Then the boys skin turned blue along with his face which was a dark purple from the blush.
"okay" Marshall took a step back to make sure Gumball was totally under the spell then he took out chalk and some milk from his backpack and begin the chant to enter the night-o-sphere.
Gumball had been there a few times on business. He never liked going but he wasn't exactly frightened of the place. Grabbing his hand Marshall yanked Gumball down into the portal to the Night-o-sphere. Once they got there Marshall lead Gumball quickly to the kingdom, not saying a word to the subjects that he passed and ducking behind many random things to try and keep them both out of sight. As soon as Gumball went to ask him what was wrong the vampire king cut him off, only speaking to announce their arrival. "alright we're here"
The prince gathered his breath, although he had been here before it was a while ago and never for a good reason. Two guards walked over talking to themselves then motioning them inside, well Marshall kind of pushed past them not really caring. Once they made it inside Gumball followed the quiet king to the throne room, where in the very middle sat the queen. She was shrouded by dark red and black clothing, her overly caked face creasing with a gross and ugly smirk. She sat there with a cocky aura around her, as is a kid getting its way in an argument. The crude smirk she held almost matched Marshall's. Almost. Her long blood red dress flowed past the throne and down the few steps leading down to the boy's feet and around her neck was a huge white fox, most likely dead. She didn't look very old, but looks can be deceiving.
"Welcome" she croaked as Gumball bowed politely.
"mother" Marshall spat.
"So it seems you both have revived my message, right?"
Before Marshall could come back with another harsh remark Gumball stepped forward. "Yes ma'am and that just what I wanted to speak with you about you see there is an issue-" "Issue?" She said sharply "And what would that be?" She was now agitated and Gumball took a step forward showing he wouldn't back down. "I haven't a daughter m'lady" he said. Marshall only crossed his arms and shot ugly glares at the queen. "Well I know that boy I'm not stupid".
Neither was Gumball and he had a slight idea of what she was talking about, only he hoped to glob it wasn't really what she meant. "Then, if I may ask, whom is Marshall engaged to?" She turned her dark red eyes to his pink ones. "let me tell you a story prince" he nodded for her to continue. "After the mushroom wars your parents ruled over the candy kingdom, soon your mother became pregnant and was told she was going to bear a girl, also around that time turmoil began between our two kingdoms. This began another war, your worriers were good but there was a slip up and to save the kingdom your father lost his life, as did my husband, your mother became extremely depressed and when several months later he went into labor she died giving birth. Before her death though she maid an agreement, Her daughter would marry my son when I assumed fit. Sense she was never able to find out you were actually born male the treaty was never wavered and is still standing" she stop letting Gumball soak it in. His chest was heavy as were his eye. He wanted to cry, but as a prince knew better to show weakness toward someone such as the queen. "I see" he uttered. Marshall walked over placing his hand on Gumballs shoulder. "What the junk? Why are you deciding now that we gonna get together? What of I disagree?!" His voice was getting higher to the point of almost yelling. "Marshall" she snapped "I do not care if you disagree with the arrangement! If Prince Gumball disagrees I will wage war against his kingdom! So hold your tongue!" Marshall advanced forward about to argue back when Gumball screamed "Wait" the fight duo looked surprised over at him as he continued "I have no daughter and I am sure Marshall does not wish to marry me so, I can make his a princess to marry instead, she would live hear and rule beside him and our kingdoms will prosper in peace, she will be made from me making her the closest thing to my kin as possible" he paused waiting for an answer "Gumball you don't ha-" Marshall started but was cut of by his mother "Well, That sounds agree able but! I give you 4 months if in that time you haven't finished her you will either marry Marshall lee or watch your kingdom be brought down to it's knees" Gumballs mouth went dry an he only nodded in response. Marshall glared at his mother and walked back over to him. How was he to finish a person in just 4 months?
