Marshall Lee POV:

As soon as I got out of the Candy Kingdom I realised that I'd forgotten my keys. I thought about going back, but Gumball wouldn't let me in. I tried staying in the shade as much as I could but the sun was shining down at full force. It still is. Now I'm sitting under a pitifully small tree. It provides shade but the sun is still burning me, pushing through the few leaves on the tree. I can't go on. It's too hot. I can't. I would die. I'm dying as it is. I don't need to speed the whole thing up. I try to keep floating but my body gives way and i crumple to the ground. My hand falls into the sun and I cry out in pain as the bright light burns my skin. At least Gumball won't suffer too much, since he now hates me. I lie on my back and pull my guitar closer to me with the energy that I have left. I guess this is it. I guess this is what dying is like. But I didn't think it would end like this. I start to close my eyes. I hear words in the distance.

"Marshall!" Then it all goes black.

Prince Gumball POV:

I run towards him, praying that he is still alive. The tree isn't shielding him much, he could easily be dead. I kneel down on the grass and wrap my arms around his shoulders.

"Marshall!" I shout. No response. My eyes are brimming with tears. He can't die now. Not before I apologise. He can't die thinking that I hate him. I pull him closer to me.

"I love you. Please don't die. I love you. I need you..."
