Last time: PB and Marceline were brought to the Ice Castle by Gunter.  Simon saved the two girls and all the penguins by absorbing the evil into his body, and asked Marceline to kill him.  She did, and thought PB was dead, but she wasn't.  They buried the Ice King and PB promised that they would do something fun the next day.

I just can't stop thinking about the suddenness of the situation yesterday.  It could have so easily been me that died.  Or Marceline.  Or both of us.  I want to make our relationship official so that I know, no matter what happens, we'll be there for each other, until death.  I'm going to go to the ring store today, since I can't hang out with Marceline until tonight (because of the sun).

"Hey," I said, walking through the doors of the Flame Kingdom jewelry store.  They have the best jewelry because of the eternal flames in that kingdom.  "Do you have any rings?"

The seller nodded.  "Of course!" He said.  "You must be Princess Bubblegum of the Candy Kingdom!  After I heard about the ball and your girlfriend, Marceline, I figured you'd be here soon."

I nodded and smiled.

"So what kind of ring do you want?"

"Can I just tell you about her and you could recommend something?"

"Sure thing, princess!"

"Well, she loves the colors black and red.  Especially red.  She likes nature, stuffed animals, and actual animals..."

He chuckled to himself.  "She sounds a little like my wife.  I think I know the perfect thing... Just a second, please."

He left the room for a little bit and came back with a little black box.  He opened it to show me a silver ring with red jewels on the outside in a pattern.  "It's perfect! I'll take it!" I said.

  "It's perfect! I'll take it!" I said

I walked out of the store, very excited about tonight.  I called Marceline on my small flip phone.  She responded immediately.  "Hey what's up?" She asked.

"Do you want to go to the beach with me tonight?" I asked quickly.

"Sure!" She replied.

I went home and decided to take a quick nap before the beach trip tonight.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and pulled it out.  Princess Bubblegum.  "Hey what's up?" I asked.

"Do you want to go to the beach with me tonight?" She asked.

"Sure!" I replied happily.

PB and I have been through so much together.  We've dealt with so much homophobia and haters.  We've had to be honest to eachother, even when it is hard.  We've helped LSP and Flame Princess.  We've been around for a very long time.  And yesterday, we both almost died.  That experience of thinking Bonnie was dead just is really messing with my head.  I want to be closer to her, enjoy our time together more because it could be taken away from us unexpectedly.
