Just Pretending (Bubbline/Sugarless Gum)

A Pillow Fight and Confession

As they slept through the night, Bonnibel more so restlessly because of their little argument, she woke with a start when she heard heavy footsteps down the hall. The footsteps clanged loudly against the sleek tiled floors, and she wondered who it could be at this time of night. She held her breath when whoever it was stopped right in front of their door. She stayed silent under her blanket until whoever it was slid something underneath the door jam. The person got up after a moment, and started walking again, in the direction it came from, it's footsteps just as noisy as before, echoing throughout the hallway. Once the footsteps completely faded and she was sure it was gone, she crept out of bed and used the light of the moon to guide her to the door.

She snatched her reading glasses along the way and and slid them on, crouching in front of the door to pick up the note. She carefully opened it and began to read, noticing it had a lot more to it than the last note;

Dear Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline Abadeer,

Whoever finds this know that you are both in grave danger. I can't reveal to you who I am at risk of losing my life, but whatever hunches you may have - follow through on them, especially at a place like this. I'm afraid this is probably the last thing I'll ever write in my life due to what's going on but please try to find us, the remaining ones. If you can, do this alone, she feeds on duos.

-From V.

Bonnibel blinked and examined the note again, finding her curiosity surging, wondering if this is connected to the missing couples. Whoever wrote this said they were in grave danger, so obviously if it is the couples case they came here for, then they're actually being murdered for some reason. Also with such a specific line like 'she feeds on duos' means it has to be related to the case! She had to hold back a squeal of excitement, carefully putting the note back into her pajama pocket. This could be the key to everything! She'd have to examine it more in the morning, she knew she was too tired now to properly figure it out.

So she walked back over, set her reading glasses down and crept under the blanket. She found it hard to sleep due to adrenaline, but after half an hour or so, she finally fell asleep. In the morning, around nine forty, she was woken up by Marceline draping an arm around her and groaning, almost like she was in pain. Immediately concerned, Bonnibel asked, "Marcy are you okay?"

She rolled over to face Marceline, who kept groaning and moaning in pain. "No," she breathed, staring up at Bonnibel, "I'm so hungry." She sighed as her stomach echoed and she rolled around onto her stomach, dramatically taking most of the blanket with her.

Bonnibel rolled her eyes, "Stop being such a dummy. And stop taking all the blanket!" She yanked the blanket out from underneath Marceline, sending her falling off the bed and rolling onto the floor.

"What the hell Bonni!" Marceline rose up, and grabbed a pillow off the bed, throwing it as hard as she could at her.

Bonnibel easily missed, the pillow sailing past her. "Oh you want a war huh? Well it's on!" She got off the bed and tied the blanket around her neck like a cape, and grabbed the fluffiest pillow on the bed, and sufficiently threw it at Marceline. Who was not able to dodge it.

A full on war ensued and they chased each other around the suite with pillows, attacking each other with no mercy. Bonnibel found it difficult to outrun her, which she wasn't surprised about, considering her opponent was a combination of a demon and a vampire. Just as she was reaching down to grab a pillow off the floor, she was hit on the side of the hide by a particularly hard pillow and fell to the ground, grabbing the pillow that hit her and Marceline down along with her.

"Ow, that actually hurt," she mumbled, her eyes shut tight as she rubbed her head, "How does a pillow even hurt that much?"

She opened her eyes again and saw Marceline pretty much straddling her hips, with a smirk on her face, "Giving up that easily huh?"
