Dimensional Love

Chapter 8

It's been a little past 24 hours since I obtained my candy themed dress. While in my room I slipped it on along with the flats that match it. Peppermint Maid was able to find me shoes. There's a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I said.

In came Fionna with Cake popping out of her blue side purse.

"Hey Alison, how do I look?"

Fionna's dressed seems a lot more 'fancier' than mine. It's a sky blue strapless dress with a blue ribbon around the stomach and a few bows to complement it.

"Wonderful." I said with a smile.

"Is your dress LEGIT made of candy?!" She walked around me and examined the dress.

"Yeah, Peppermint Maid helped me find it. So where are you and Willis going?"

"Just a little place, near the end of the Candy Kingdom. You and Gumball?"

"I think we're just eating in the dining room. He said to meet him for a dinner, not a date."

"I think that's usually what a guy means when he says 'dinner', sweety." Said Cake.

"Either way, I'm not intending it to be."

"Come on, Fi. Your chocolate man is waiting!"

She laughed. "Cake! Bye Alison!" Fionna rode Cake as the cat stretched herself out my window.

I took a look at myself in the full body mirror. Only a couple days ago I had miraculously appeared in the center of this kingdom, and now I'm having dinner with its lying ruler. I feel as though I should be more bewildered than I am.

"Madame Alison?"

I looked towards my door to see Peppermint Maid.

"The Prince will see you now."

I nodded and followed her through the empty hallway to a small dining room that I had been in for breakfast two days ago. She let me in and closed the door behind me. Her ability to reach the doorknob never ceases to surprises me.

There he stood, Prince Gumball, wearing his usual attire. I don't blame him for not changing; He looks fancy already.

"Alison! Hello! Please have a seat." He pulled out the purple cushioned chair and I sat. Across he sat from me in an identical chair.

"I trust you have been enjoying your stay in the Candy Kingdom?" He smiled.

"Yeah." I said, ignorant, which he took notice to.

"Is something wrong...?"

"Just hungry, that's all." I lied.

"Willis and the other servants should soon-"

"Willis is on date."

His eyebrows rose. "Really? Good for him!" A smile never seemed to leave this guy's face.

We sat there silent for a while, while I ran the fork over the empty plate.

"Gumball?"

"Yes?"

"What happened to the humans?"

"I'll save that story for another time."

"No. Tell me now."

"But Alis-"

"Gumball, please, I've waited long enough!"

His smile left his face. "I see... Ok." The prince stood up and paced a little around the room.

"To be honest, no one knows that much about the war that caused their deaths. We call it the Mushroom War." Let's see what the killer 'says' happened. "Several years ago, all the inhabitants of our land participated in a giant war using nuclear warfare. The last bomb dropped was huge, gonked up everything, and in the process, even created the Lich. To sum up the Lich, he's basically a magical evil genius monster." Tch, yeah right.

"And all this is true?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, I-"

"Are you lying to me?"

"What?! Alison what are yo-?!"

"You lied to Fionna too!" I stood up out of my chair and loud skid marks were heard on the floor. "You're the reason the humans are gone! Y-You raised zombies out of the ground and cut off all their heads!"

"Alison where are you getting this from?!"

Without thinking, I talked Gumball and prepared to punch him.

"ALISON!"

I suddenly heard familiar laughter from outside the window.

"Ooooh how I wish I got that on tape!"

Prince Gumball and I turned our heads towards the window to see a floating teen vampire.

"Wait, what?"

"You!" said Gumball with a glare. I didn't know he could glare.

He floated in. "Duh, I tricked you! Gum wad didn't kill all the humans!" He bonked on my head.

"Alison, this is why you should stay away from him! He's trouble!"

I blushed in embarrassment. "You mean what Gumball said is true?" The vampire broke into tears of laughter. I feel so dumbfounded!

Gumball got out from under me and helped me up. We could just barely hear the faint high-pitched laugh of an elderly woman.

"See ya!" Marshall turned into a fuzzy bat and flew away into the dark night as quick as possible.

The witch-like laugh seemed to get louder and closer with every passing second, as the room grew cold.
