Chapter 1: Desperate Reunion

(I AM SORRY IF THIS STORY IS SHIT)

    All was well in the land of Aaa, Its calmness a nice change from all the events that had been happening. Well, all was well for everyone but one.

Marshal Lee's POV:

    The room was dark, as i sat on my stiff red couch, not bothering to turn on the lights. My oversized grey sweater was bunched at my hands and around my waist, hiding my thin frame beneath. Turing to look outside i saw the light streaming in from the opening of my cave, but not quite reaching the house, its deadly rays halting a few yards before its front steps. 'Should i go out today?' I thought, trying to think if it was even worth the effort today. Deciding against it, i levitate up, and over to my Bass, before bringing it to my lap, gliding my fingers across the strings. Cringing as i realized it wasn't tuned, i fiddled with the tuning keys, making are the strings were in order; E A D and G. Strumming lazily, i drifted throughout the room, letting my mind wander.

    A few hours later, I fell from the air, startled by the sudden yell outside the cave. Hissing i put down the bass carefully on its stand, harshly opening the door without, seeing as it the sun had set. Reaching the entrance, i looked around, before my eyes landed on Fionna and Cake, yelling at each other, and just messing around. Sighing i sat on the edge, watching them, a recognizable ache in my chest. I see Cake look up and our eyes meet, and she hisses, eyes darkening and she leads a protesting Fionna away. I head back inside and float up the ladder, before picking up Shwabelle, and laying burrowing under the covers, slowly petting her soft fur. But it isn't long until she leaves and i lay awake, trying to get to sleep.

Eventually giving up, i got out, and realized i had forgotten to change, and decide to head out. Not entirely sure where I'm heading, my mind goes blank and i just drift. The cool air tosses my hair, nipping at my skin, chilling its already cold surface. I close my eyes, feeling the condensation in the cool air gathering on my nose and lashes. Rolling so my stomach faces the sky. I stretch, body in a crescent, and open my eyes. The world below seems so.. small, and delicate, as if a small disturbance could bring it all down. Looking around, i see Fi's tree house, the Candy Kingdom, Ice Kingdom, and finally settling on my cave, a lonely looking outcropping, and something in my chest twists and cracks. 'I'm all alone.' i think.

    "I'm all alone in this world aren't I?" I whisper, curling up into a ball. "I wonder..." i mumble, "I wonder if, if i just left, if anyone would notice..." i said, realizing no one would, i said. "Then why bother?" I relax, unfurling, and deactivate my levitation, and plummet to the world below. Looking around one moment, i see that i would probably land right outside of the Candy Kingdom. Oh well, no matter, and close my eyes, waiting for impact.The few seconds i am falling, feels like an eternity, but eventually, i land, well more like crash with a loud boom, loud enough to hear all throughout Aaa, a sickening crack following, leaving my broken in the middle of a small crater near the front gates. The pain is nearly unbearable,everything within me shattering, as blood pools around me. I wonder why i haven't died, and then feel my wounds begin to stitch themselves back together. Whatever pain i felt before doesn't compare to this and i screech, clenching my eyes shut, feeling my bones pop back in place, blood regenerating, skin tugging itself back together over my thin frame. I curl onto my side, silent screams leaving my throat as i writhe in the agonizing pain. I forgot about this part of dying, instantly regretting the attempt at my life. I hear footsteps, and crack open an eye, but only see the yellow blur of the banana guards through my tears.The final vertebra popping into place, i groan, uncurling and laying on my side, waiting for the tears to subside. Deciding not to move, i stay still.

    One of the banana guards had ran off, but the other one continues to worriedly watch me, eyes filled with both fear and confusion. The other one returns, with a running Gumball behind him and i groan, not wanting him to see me in such a weak state. Expecting to see the malice i usually see in his eyes, i look away, curling up again.
