Fireflies (marshall and marceline)

Chapter eight

Bubblegum's p.o.v

It was still early but I already saw Marshall wondering around, that's unusual for the vampire king to come early.

"hey marshall!" I greeted him

"sup pinkster!"

"your quite early today, can you lend a hand?!" I said, well, I already know he won't lift even a finger

"sure, why not" he smiled

"what's gotten into you? wearing that formal clothes, coming early and I didn't expect that you'd actually help" I said which made him chuckle. he was really a big help though, since he can fly and things.

~*~

"so what time will the party end?" he asked rubbing his temple

"depends, when the people start going home"

"oh, I'm going outside for a while" he said as he flew away from me

"marceline's gonna be late I'm sure of it, she's taking a ride in a chariot which takes eighteen minutes to travel" I assured him, giving him a big grin

"why should you be telling me that?"

"oh, I thought you were looking for her right?"

"what?"

"nothing ,good luck finding her!, marceline!" I shouted, making him flinch when I mention marceline's name, I'm always right!!

Marceline's p.o.v

I was at home preparing for the ball when bonnibel sent me a white chariot pulled by two white-horses. I hate riding chariots, but it's better than flying to the castle, letting the people see that I'm wearing a dress.

I flew towards my closet, wearing a red satin cocktail dress that has a puffy skirt, it was six and a half inches above my knees so I wore a black stockings. it has a matching black ribbon around the waist and at the ends of the dress, then I wore a black high heels, and my hair, pinned sideways with a little red flowers on it.

I reached the candy kingdom slower than I thought, so much for flying, I'm nineteen minutes late and now the door's so crowded. running into people is too tiring, so I just leaned on a column, closed my eyes and waited for them to clear out.

~*~

"Marcy!" a familiar voice called me

"Marshall?" I whispered to myself, slowly opening my eyes.

"What took you so long?!" he asked me sounding a little impatient

"the chariot was so slow..it wasn't my fault"

"really?" he asked making me look at him, then I noticed what he was wearing

"you look good!, where did you get these clothes?!" I exclaimed flying real close to him then examining him from head to toe

"your too c-close" he stammered pushing me away gently then turning his head away.

Marshall's p.o.v

"your too c-close" I stammered, pushing her away gently.

"haha..hey your blushing!" she teased poking my cheeks

"no I'm not"

"haha..,..the door's not crowded anymore , we better get going" she insisted, tugging my arms

As we got inside, bubblegum had us seat in front with them. the table was big enough for the twelve of us. Fionna doesn't look good though, she keeps spacing out, and she ain't talking to fire prince, even Finn.

"marsh.., Finn and fionna don't look well do they." marceline whispered to me, pulling me close

"yeah, there not"

"look.look, even bonnibel and gumball's looking!" she giggled

"hey marcy! I never thought your into that sort of stuff" Jake whispered at us since he was seating next to marceline

"no I just got interested in bonnie looking at Finn"

"whoa, you got interested in 'the thing', since you met marshall didn't you?!" I heard him whisper, which made me feel blood rush through my cheeks.

"Jake?!"

"what?!~"

"I'm gonna rip your throat off!!" she said roughly making me chuckle.

"what are you guys talking about? it looks like your having fun~" bubblegum butted in making the three of us look at her

"why don't you come here and we'll tell you" marceline said smirking at her

"um..okay" she came near then leaned closer

"were talking about how jealous you are around, Finn!" she shouted finn's name, making Finn turn to our direction. She totally panicked and is starting to look redder then her normal shade.

"I think pinky's not in her normal color today" I said making the three of us laugh, well, excluding bubblegum

"what are you guys talking about?!" Finn started to ask curiously

"nothing Finn" bubblegum said returning to her seat next to gumball and lady.
