Red Kingdom

Date

Marceline POV

What was I thinking? A date with Bonnie? I must be crazy. I feel like punching myself in the gut but at the same time I feel like giving myself a witty pat on my back. I got over my fear. Well at least I think. God, Bonnie is always on my mind even at the inappropriate times like when I'm taking the red out of my prey. She has total control in my life and she doesn't even know it! I guess I should just get this date over with before I decide about anything else.

I grabbed my jacket and started to head out to Bonnie's. My heart is beating like crazy and my palms are getting sweaty. God the things she does to me.

Bubblegum POV

I was waiting for Marceline to take me on our so called date. What are we even doing? And what does she mean by date? Like a friend date or a relationship type of date where she's going to be all romantic on me? I really hope it's a normal date but at the same time I want the romantic one. I don't know what's happening to myself. Why am I thinking about this? Oh right, because I have feelings for Marceline. But why was I so hesitant? Why was I shocked that she asked me on a date? I would've said yes right away. I guess it seemed like a dream.

I was lost in my thoughts till I heard a knock on my window. I'm guessing it's Marceline since she doesn't know how to use a front door. I went over to open it but when I did, it wasn't her. It was the stupid Ice King.

"Hello Princess, did you miss me?"

"Eww gross, Ice King just go away, you're wasting your time."

"Sorry Princess but I love you."

"You say that everytime we meet."

"But I really do!"

"Sorry Ice King but I'm not interested."

"Uhhhh! If you won't come with me, I have no choice but to kidnap you!"

And before I knew it I was taken hostaged by the Ice King. I tried to fight out of it but his grip was too tight. When I was about to wrangle out of his grip he blew icecles at me. One hit and he could've frozen me. I gave up and let him take me. Hopefully Marceline will be coming.

Marceline POV

I went over to Bonnie and went towards the window I last went through. But I saw something strange. I looked at the window and noticed the frame was damaged. I also saw frost on it too. It was obvious of what happened. Simon came again and took Bonnie. He just has this weird thing with all the princesses and penguins. But then again, he also has me, he just hasn't notice.

He had Bonnie and I had to save her. I mean Bonnie is probably used to this. Simon does this weekly and Bonnie just kinda got used to this. I started my way over to the Ice Kingdom.

Bubblegum POV

I was unconscious when the Ice King took me to his kingdom. And I woke up in one of his jails. It's pretty normal to me. I've been kidnapped by Ice Kings many times so it became a weekly thing. Anyway, I hope someone comes and takes me away from this hell hole. Usually Finn and Jake come to the rescue. I don't care who just some one save me.

Ice King was talking to his Penguin, Gunther. I always find funny how he always talks to Gunther and he doesn't know what he's saying. He sometimes always punishes him for no reason. It's really funny I started to laugh.

"Hey! What's with that laughing?"

"Nothing."

"Oh it's something. Tell me what it is!"

"What if I don't?"

"I'll freeze you for eternity!"

"Not a nice way to treat a princess."

"I don't care! Now tell me before I blast you!"

Before I said anything I heard a scream.

Marceline POV

"SIMON!" I screamed as I rammed through an ice way. Blob that hurt. I immediately see Bonnie and say, "Bonnie, you ok?"

"Yeah. I am. Just take me away."

But before I could take her away with me, Simon blasted an icicle towards me. Luckily I dodged it. He continued with more blasts and I made my way over one of his ice furniture. I screamed, "Simon you don't have to do this!"

"What? Who's Simon?"

I bit my tongue back and held back tears. I can't believe he doesn't remember anything. But eversince that day he permanently put on that crown, everything changed. He wasn't the same and I still get real depressed every  time I think about it. But enough about that, I had to save Bonnie and get out of this kingdom.

"Simon, stop this!"

"Never! I'm in love with this princess and we're going to get married."

"Then you leave me with no choice."

Before I knew it, I turned into this huge beast and lunged forward Simon. It hurts me that I'm abusing him. But he's not Simon anymore, but I know he's in there somewhere. My anger took control of me and I blacked out. I then woke up with Bonnie by my side and in a different setting. I was home. I saw Bonnie smile and I got up and said, "How did I get here?"

Bubblegum POV

After Ice King was knocked out, I took Marceline's worn out body into my arms and began my journey to her home.

I arrived to the cave and entered her house. It was the same last time when I was here to borrow the shirt. I laid her on her bed and got a wet cloth and patted her face with it. After a few minutes of waiting, her eyes opened and my first reaction was to smile. She then got up and asked, "How did I get here?"

I replied, "I carried you here."

"All the way from the Ice Kingdom?"

"Yeah."

"Bonnie! That was a long walk. Why did you do that?"

"Well you rescued me from Ice King so I had to repay you some way."

"Thanks Bonnie."

We stared at each other for a few minutes not saying anything. It felt right. I had the urge to lean in so I did but I stopped myself before I could do anything. I can see the look on Marceline's face and it was disappointment. But I blocked the awkwardness by saying, "Since you have a nickname for me, I should have a nickname for you."

"Oh yeah, what should it be?"

"I've been thinking I decided Marcy."

"Hmmm it doesn't sound too embarassing and I don't hate it. Sure, Marcy it is."

"Yay!"

"Uhh I feel so sorry. This date was ruined."

I picked up her head and said, "Hey, it wasn't ruined. If anything, I liked this date. It's not like you can get rescued for every first date."

"So are you hinting that there's going to be a another one?"

"To make up this one, yeah sure."

"Alright Bonnie, I'll make sure nothing gets in the way this time. Me knocking out Simon, I mean Ice King should hold him up for at least a few weeks."

"Great then I'm looking forward to our second date."

"Me too."

We stared each other again till I noticed the time.

"Oh shoot it's past midnight! I gotta go."

Marcy grabbed my arm and said, "So soon?"

"Yeah, Peppermint Butler is going to give me a whole interview about my whereabouts."

"Aww wish you could stay."

"I know but I have to go. I'll see you for our second date."

I was heading out to the door, but I stopped. I turned around and ran back to. Marcy who was oblivious of my presence. I then kissed her cheek quickly and told her, "That's for saving me Marcy. Now get some rest!" I ran out of her house and I heard her scream out, "I can't with that kiss!"
