A/n This chapter is in Fiona's pov most of the time. Sorry, but this was a hard chapter to write and I think it adds something. Let me know if you guys have ideas or just have something to say! Enjoy!
Chapter 3
Gumball tapped his pencil against the clipboard, glancing around the square. He was throwing a celebration for Root Beer Girl, congratulating her on becoming Captain of the Banana Guard. He had balloons, music, and a food table. Fiona and Cake were hanging streamers from the lampposts and stringing them between the houses and buildings on either side.
He looked at his clipboard to see if there was anything he was missing. Decorations, music, food, what else? More punch maybe? You could never have enough punch; especially with the candy people.
"Yo, Gumball!" Fiona shouted, flipping off the roof of a nearby building and running over to him. "We got the decorations all set up. Now we just have to go grab Party Pat." Gumball nodded, holding up a finger as he scribbled on the clipboard. Fiona and Cake grinned, looking behind him.
"Okay, and on the way could you-" He froze as he felt a weight rest on his head. Fiona and Cake looked ready to burst; their faces read and shoulders shaking. "What is that?" Something trailed down his neck and he shivered, not daring to move.
"A spider." He threw his hands up, holding the clipboard, and smacked whatever was on his head. He heard a hiss and turned around to see Marshall holding his nose. Fiona and Cake laughing.
"Oh, Glob! Sorry, Marshall!" He held his clipboard to his chest. Marshall poked his nose a few times before shaking his head. He started laughing.
"Oh, you should've seen your face!" Fiona spurted between laughs. Gumball frowned, his face hot. Marshall wiped a tear from his eye as he tried to stop laughing.
"That was too perfect." Gumball smacked him in the arm, letting out a tiny laugh himself.
"What are you doing here?" Marshall picked up his umbrella from the ground and pulled his gloves up.
"Fiona said you were having a party, and frankly I'm offended that I wasn't invited." Gumball drew in a breath, fingers tightening on his clipboard. He hadn't even thought of sending the vampire an invitation.
"It was just supposed to be the candy people. I'm promoting Root Beer Girl to Captain of Banana Guard. But, you're welcome to stay." Fiona shot a glance at him. Gumball usually treated Marshall like an annoyance. Fiona wasn't used to her friends getting along; it was nice.
"Yo, PG!" She shouted. Gumball flinched and turned to her. "We're gonna go grab Party Pat. Don't get kidnapped while we're gone!" She ran off. Cake winked at them before chasing her. Gumball raised an eyebrow, turning to stare after them.
"That was weird." Marshall adjusted his umbrella and drifted over to check out the decorations.
"Why are you promoting someone who isn't a banana?" Marshall took a small red candy off the table, turning it round in his fingers before sucking the red out. Gumball sighed, straightening the table cloth.
"All my banana guards failed my test. My security is worse than I thought." Marshall chuckled, taking another candy.
"Anyone could have told you that, Bubbs." He looked up at the huge Gumball Guardians, pointing to one of them. "Those are the best you have. Or those Rattleball guys you had a while ago."
"You know about those? They were too dangerous." He smacked Marshall's hand when he reached for another candy. "How am I supposed to protect my kingdom if all my security doesn't work?" Marshall frowned, sneaking a candy when Gumball dragged his hands down his face.
