Twisting the Already Twisted

Recovery

Some time had passed since the two Oooians had split up and, to be honest, it was tough on both of them. Marceline went into a deep depression, talking to no one but her father, Hunson Abadeer. She would just sit around at home but, some good things did come from all of her 'alone time'. She started to exercise a lot, working out hours at a time by, using the family axe as a weight lifting machine of sorts. She did this to pass the time rather than, mope around and be miserable. God knows why she just didn't purchase an actual treadmill. I guess it made her feel more empowered or something. Then she started to listen to a bit of music hear and there, trying out all the different genera's to see which ones she preferred. Then she finally stumbled upon rock! This was definitely the sound for her. It seemed as if this was just what she was looking for. The hole that had been drilled into her chest by Gumball, had now been filled with the metallic notes of Queen, Kiss and The Rolling Stones.

Yet, listening to them wasn't enough, the thing that she was really yearning for was, to be apart of this symphony of magic! So she... turned the family axe into a bass guitar, it looked awesome and it had this sort of edge to it (pun intended). Her father was extremely surprised to hear she did this though. Then again, he was the Imperator of the entire Nightosphere Kingdom so, you really wouldn't want to see him this emotional! "That axe had been passed down for generation after generation and, this is what you do to it! I-I I'm so proud of you!" he yelped. Yes he was a softy for villainess crimes. He was very pleased with how his little girl was finally becoming as malevolent as he was. Even though he wasn't happy about the level of crying she had been partaking in, since the break up and all. Gumball had done this to his little girl and, he would sure a shell pay for the act of merciless torture he had committed. Hunson had been sickened with that stupid, sugary, buffoon before him and Marceline had even met. Now, it was personal.

Gumball on the other hand, was effected slightly differently. After he had his little 'freak out', he reflected on his wrong doings towards Marcy for quite sometime. He did miss her a bit. He almost pitied her for being so kind to such a monster but, he felt guilt more than any other emotion though. The prince knew that he wasn't living the proper life of a candy person. Which is all that you would expect it to be, they even had a saying for it; Be as sweet as you taste. Or, something like that. Well, hearing this, Gummy could assume that he was being pretty sour at this point. So, he decided to change his arrogant and selfish ways in order to be a more proper Prince. You could say his relationship with Marceline was a kind of, happy accident.

To keep on track with his new princely attitude he adopted many interesting hobbies. For example, he thought a good prince, was a smart prince so he took many different courses on science related things. You could say he was beginning to look like quite an engineer because of all the experiments he was conducting. Even though, he took many other classes like gardening, tennis, social skills, public speaking and baking! Yes, to be honest baking was his favorite by far. He baked some new concoction almost everyday of the week. Being as sweet as he was, he had a naturally cultured tongue, causing every dish to come out beyond perfect. Except, one day, he was researching the taste buds of some of the candy people for one of his experiments. This included some highly flammable chemicals that, were used to show color on the tongue with its corresponding taste buds. Like, blue to show which part of the tongue, reacted most to bitter tastes. He had made the terrible decision to do this in his kitchen rather then in the lab. This made it more convenient for baking the different tasting cupcakes, necessary for the tests to be taken. The prince had laid out the experimental fluids on the island, across from the oven. But, as he was taking a batch of cupcakes out of the oven, his elbow bumped into one of the test tubes and knocked it to the ground. Smashing into a million pieces, the glass, released the chemicals into the air, causing the oven to spontaneously combust. The fire spread and spread until it had devoured the entire castle. Luckily Gumball and his experimental candy friends had escaped. Though, the King and Queen did not share that same luck. After the fire had been doused by the foolish banana guards, Gumball was delivered news that he parents had been trapped in their royal chambers during the fire. The prince felt himself hitting rock bottom again, he broke down and felt that no amount of positive reinforcement could save him.

After that accident he was the ruler of the candy kingdom and yet, still a prince. He felt it wasn't right to take his fathers place, it was just to soon. Now that he did rule, he was in charge of all the celebrations, galas and balls. As a matter of fact, he was throwing a ball this weekend, In honor of Starch the Grave Digger's bravery, during the almost zombie apocalypse. Well not really an apocalypse, it was more of Starch saying he thought he saw one of the bodies move so; he hit it with his shovel. But that's bravery for you in the Candy Kingdom. The Prince always sent invitations to each and every person in Ooo, including Marceline. He never expected to see her there and, he wasn't anticipating that day either. The day he came face to face with Marceline would be when he would ascend to the fiftieth dead world! Sure he wanted to see Marcy but, he was positive that she did not want come near him, In the slightest.

"Make sure everyone gets an invitation, Peps." Gumball said in a stern voice

"Ooh I here ya loud and clear man." replied peppermint butler in his nasal voice

Ok, so maybe he really wanted to see Marceline. Not only did he want to make up with her but, he missed her. Deeply and truly ached for her companionship. He needed that sweet girl by his side, to help him rule the kingdom. Because he was all kind and bubbly now, he definitely saw why he started dating her in the first place. She had quite the appeal to some one of his stature.

Sitting on her couch, strumming her guitar, Marceline heard a tiny nock on the door. She went over to the door only to step on a pearl white envelope. She picked it up and studied the royal candy seal on the front.

"This should be good..." she nearly whispered

She had gotten many letters from the candy kingdom to celebrate stupid excuses for parties and balls but she never went. One, she didn't want to see him.And two, why go there when she could go to a real house party with Ash. He was so cool and fly. He was a wizard and major party animal. Ash was just what Marceline was looking for. Not only did he say what he thought but, he always payed attention to her and shared her love of music. They also had great evil chemistry together. Like just the other day, they worked as a couple to rob the turtle people dry. She thought it was hilarious watching them try to catch the unstoppable duo. But it would be fun to totally crash Gumbutt's stupid little arrangement. Hmm that's not a bad plan, she thought. Well I guess I'll pay a little visit...
