Feeling the sunlight on my face I roll over to my side and throw an arm over to Marceline's side of the bed looking for her sleeping form but instead feel empty bedsheets. Sitting up I slowly rub the sleep out of my eyes and look around the room noticing her pants were gone from the floor and it was early morning.

She tended to slip out before dawn to avoid the sun sometimes, but typically she would wait till I was up before making her escape. Plus I always kept big umbrellas around the castle in case she needed it.

Not wanting to overthink her reasoning behind leaving so early I head to my closet and open the doors before stripping off Marcy's shirt I had worn last night. After our little reunion and doctor examination, she lent me her shirt to fall asleep in knowing her scent was my favorite to be in. Hanging it up on the left side of the closet where I kept the other few shirts I was starting to collect I look on the right side till I find a simple dark pink summer dress. Hanging it on a hook next to my long mirror beside the closet I start to head off into the bathroom to get ready.

Once I was done getting ready and fastening the tie on my fishtail braid I head over to my vanity and slip on my crown. Giving myself a once over in the mirror my eyes come back to the top right corner where a photo booth picture was held with cupcake stickers. In the first photo square, a younger me and Marceline were hugging each other. Marcy had her hair half-shaved with black shades over her eyes, and I had my hair at the time cut to my shoulders no tiara insight, and a can of pop in my hands. Marcy was flicking her tongue while I was giving a cheesy smile. I chuckle now remembering the events that played out and am happy to have proof of some of the action in the next three shots.

While we were in the photo booth someone had gotten accidentally pushed into the booth landing straight on the floor. The second picture caught me and Marcy's shocked expression as it showed me looking at the floor with my mouth open and Marcy looking over her shades with her eyes on the floor. In the third picture, Marcy had placed her shades on her head and we both were looking directly at each other, a blush was on my cheeks and Marcy was giving me a playful grin. In memory, I remember the guy that had fallen was finally getting up and that explained why in the bottom base of the third picture there was a dark tint, he barely missed being in the picture. In the last picture while the guy was trying to apologize we both started rushing him out while the camera counted down, by the time it hit 4 we pushed the man out and quickly stuck some funny faces. I had bunny ears behind Marcy's head and my tongue out while she sucked her cheeks in and widened her crisscrossed eyes to make a fishy face.

It's one of my favorite memories of us reminding me of our previous relationship dynamic before we were together. All the embarrassing and cliche moments of laughter, confusion, and bottled-up feelings.

I head for my door grabbing my laboratory coat from its spot on the love chair, and as I went down the stairs I give warm morning calls to the banana guards that stood on guard. Reaching the kitchen I was delighted to see Chef Taffy finishing off some bacon from the stove. "Morning Taffy, how are things this morning going?" I ask taking a seat on the kitchen stool as I watch the maids start to bring large plates of basic breakfast arrangements to the dining hall. I liked to enjoy my meals with the castle staff and if I ever hosted a meal event I made sure to still have food in the kitchen for them to always partake in as well when they were not busy. "All is doing well this harvest season, though I just got word that one of our chickens has been misplaced," Taffy says placing the used utensils into the sink. "how odd, I'm sure it's just CinnamonBuns playing another game with it," I say following Taffy out into the dining hall where other workers were already making a plate.

"Yeah well, last time CinnamonBun stole a baby cow he tried to claim it was his new pony," Taffy said raising her eyebrows at me before we both laughed at the memory of the doughy man trying to ride on the poor calf. Luckily he only made it to the front of the palace before peppermint butler got a grip on his ear and brought him off the calf. "Hm well besides that how have you been with your family?" I ask Taffy referring to her new role as a mother. Taffy smiles warmly and hands me a plate before taking one herself, "Oh Princess Bubblegum it has been such a rollercoaster. I mean I'm so grateful and absolutely love my little Buttercup but her crying at night keeps me up for hours. Reece has been a great help luckily and I feel better knowing he's the one being the stay at him dad for now."I nod my head and take some bacon before placing some eggs on my plate. "Hey, Taffy I hope you do know that if you want more time off so you can be with them more I would have no complaints." I remind her as we head to the table nearby. "Oh no way can I ask for more time off, I've only been back working for a week and already there are repairs and events to be in the making that I already started planning." I smile and swallow some eggs down with orange juice before using the napkin to wipe my mouth. " You're mathtastic Taffy and that is why I have enough trust in you to handle my catering and agriculture staff."

"Yeah well you also really enjoy my cooking, don't forget that," Taffy says a pride smile on her face.
"Oh you're definitely right about that, but keep that between us yeah?" I say lifting my cup of orange juice in a playful toast. Giggling Taffy lifts her cup and taps it along mine, "Deal."

Finishing up the meal my mind starts to list out the current tasks I wanted to complete today, microprinting, cell examining, accord some favors, talk to the council, and sign some lettered work. I wonder if I could work my way through my list fast enough to try and visit Marcy for a dinner/breakfast date.

A mental image of Marcy appeared in my mind from last night and I had to look out the window for a second to try and calm my heated face. I mentally saw Marceline holding herself up on her elbows head thrown back legs spread around me, and her moans of pleasure escaping her parted lips. My tongue was busy deep inside her and I had the perfect view of my blushing vampire queen coming to her climax as she bit her lip from screaming.

I smile to myself as I hand my plate over to a cleaning maid and make my way to my laboratory but before I could pull open the door to exit I was pushed back in as peppermint butler rushes in with CinnamonBuns. CinnamonBun was looking a little green and was swaying on his feet while peppermint butler held him by the arm.

"Princess Bubblegum we need your assistance," peppermint butler says.

I roll my eyes and point up the stairs to where my laboratory was located, "Does this have to do with a chicken?" I ask in amusement as we make our way over so I could examine him properly.
