Chapter 8: Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee

 

Prince Gumball’s POV

I showed Marshall Lee my lab where Fionna used my time machine to travel back through time. The reason why I showed and told him about it, because he over reacted few minutes ago, he asked me that if I and Fionna doing tier 15. What in the name of glob is tier 15?! Anyway, here is Marshall Lee being ignorant when he saw my lab. He’s touching everything he sees. Ugh, he’s so annoying!

“Hey, Gumdrop. What does this do?” He held my odd machine, I don’t remember what that machine is. But it’s probably defected ‘cause I forgot about it.

“Hey, put that down.” I said to him.

“Okey.” He put it down. “Hey, Gumdrop. What does this do?” He grabbed another object.

“How many time have I told you? Stop picking up things that you don’t know! And please, stop calling me Gumdrop.”

“What do you want me to call you? Prince Frog?”

“No! Stop calling me names! It’s not polite!”

“Well, sorry your highness. I am not polite! And I will still gonna call you names, when or whenever I wanted to!”

“Ugh. Ok. Whatever. But it’s still better that you call me my real name.”

“What name? Prince Gumball? Oh, sure! That is not your real name, idiot!”

“It is my last name. Gumball.”

“How about using your first name? That would be meaning full.”

“No. I am not using my first name.”

“Why not? It’s a pretty cool name.”

“Yeah. Remember when I introduced my first name on the Ice Queen? She’s gone crazy mad. Remember?”

“Oh, yeah. I bet your name is sooooo bad, no one would ever want to know about it.”

“What? So bad? But you said it was cool.”

“Yeah. But you said the Ice Queen gone mad when you used it. So I go with her.”

“Whatever.” I walked towards my lab table. It was so messy, so I had to clean it up.

“What are you working at with all of that papers?”

“Preparations.”

“What kind of ‘preparations’?”

“Preparations in case something goes wrong to the Time Travel Project.”

“Oh, yeah. The time travel project thingy. From what time did she gone back?”

“Uh… 996 years ago.”

“But that’s during the Mushroom War, right?”

“Yes, yes it is.”

“What is she gonna do there?”

“Oh. She’s gonna destroy the Enchiridion before the Lich discovers about it.”

“Oh. Ok.” Marshall Lee got quiet for a minute back there, suddenly. “WHAT?!” He shouted. “SHE’S GOING TO DESTROY THE WHAT?!”

“The Enchiridion! She’s going to destroy the Enchiridion! What’s the problem?” I complained because when he said “WHAT” he shouted it by my ear. I almost got deaf there.

“So she’s the girl!” Marshall Lee suddenly said with joy.

“What girl?” I asked in confused.

“The one that helped me!”

“What?”

“The one who did everything just to save me! Gumdrop! She’s the girl! The girl that I’ve been searching for! The girl from 996 years ago!”

“Stop calling me Gumdrop.”

“Oh, don’t you see? I finally found the person who got all my answers! The person that I first had a crush on for over a thousand years!”

“First crush… What…?”

“Oh, Gumdrop! This is fantastic!”

“Will you stop calling me Gumdrop?!”

“Wait…” His voice tone changed, from the cheerful tone, it became deep and lifeless. “She’s the girl, Gumdrop.”

“Yeah, I know! The one you had a crush on! The one you’ve been searching for! The one who saved you! The one who did everything for you! The girl from 996 years ago! Now what else is to know?! And Please! Stop. Calling. Me. Gumdrop!”

“She’s the girl, and… and she’s going to…?”

“Huh?”

“Gumball, bring her back.”

“I said, don’t call me--- wait, did you just called me by my name?”

“Gumball. Gumball, please bring her back. Right now!”

“What are you talking about, Marshall?”

“Just bring her back right now! Please! I don’t wanna lose her!” Tears started to flow from his eyes. What? Is he crying? As in literally crying?

“Marshall, why are you…?”

“I’m begging you…”

“But, Marshall, the mission is not yet complete. If we abort now, the time panel might be—“

“JUST MAKE IT STOP!”

“You know I won’t do that. That would cause so much potential---“

“MAKE THE STUPID MISSION STOP!”

“Hey! Are you shouting on me?! Who do you think you are?! We did this mission because I’m worried about my subjects! If we don’t do this all of them would die! And now you’re saying to STOP?! Are you flipping crazy?!”

“Please just listen to me!” He cried harder.

“Why would I even listen to what are you saying?!”

“Because if you don’t stop now, she will DIE!” I stood up in silence. What did he say? “If this continues, she’s going to die…
