Stay

chapter 12

sorry for the wait! I'very had little motivation these days.

* = footnote. Might need to look for those. Also includes stupid jokes and a new head canon. Its pretty uncalled for, but it fills the page up so..

"Flame Princess, what have you seen?" PB asked me.

"Marceline's drunk. I bet you could make your move if nobody's watching," I replied.

Everyone at the party was having a good time, except for Finn and Jake who were still fighting. Everything was normal aside from them; cinnamon bun was in the punch bowl, LSP gossiping with her friends, the Earls being.. the Earls, and countless candy people dancing to music. It would have been a normal summer party if PB and I didn't have a troublesome plan afoot.

"Y'know, Jake, it's getting annoying how you seem to hide things from me," I said, "what is going on?"

"So I'm hiding something from you, Marceline?! No..." Jake said. "I think you're a bad influence! Haven't you looked in the mirror lately?" My hand curled into a fist. "OH, that's right, YOU CAN'T!" I growled at him.

"Speak for yourself with that beer in your hand!" I yelled. Jake makes me so mad sometimes. If you're calling me a bad influence, just look at how my dad was! Or how I was raised! And just look at Flame Princes with her anger issues!

"Alright ladies," someone said calmly from behind. It was Princess Bubblegum. "Settle down."

"So I assume you could be having a better time," she said. "Just relax. And, Marceline, can you come with me?" She gestured me to follow her, so I did. I followed Bonnie up the sweetly colored staircase up to her room. Bonnie opened the door to her room. She had a bottle of red wine on a table beside two wine glasses. The room was lit by candlelight. The candles smelled like cinnamon. It made me uncomfortable.

"Come on in," Bonnie said, "pour yourself a glass."

I floated in slowly. I settled down next to the wine table. I poured myself a glass of wine. I took a nice chug of it. I almost felt myself get tipsy all over again.

"So," Bonnie started, "how's it been?"

"Fine. Finn and I are fine. But I wish he would speed things up a little bit. On the other hand, what can I ask of him? He's, like, fourteen."

"That it?" PB asked.

"WELLLLL, I got a couple of boxes at home. I haven't had to use them in a while, but it's good to have them there." I smirked.

"Oh?"

"I ordered some new guitar strings that came in on Friday," I said, "what did you think I was talking about?"

"Oh, oh, oh! I also-"

(A/N: SIREN GOES OFF)

Bonnie cut me off. "Enough jokes, hun. I have a question for you," she said as she stood up in front of me. "So Finn's good to you, right? And he's the only man who's truly been good to you?" she said as she inched closer to me. "Do you ever dawn on the good days?,"* she said as she put her hands around my waist. I tensed up.

"Ever remember when we weren't royals?"* She said as she looked me straight in the eyes. She looked at me with that same loving look she gave me hundreds of years ago. It scared me. Her pretty pink eyes were like windows into the past, but only remind me of when they looked at me with sadness or anger.

"Wouldn't you like to relive it all over again?" Bonnie leaned in to kiss me, but I pushed her away. She screamed as she fell onto her bed.

"BONNIE, I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE!"**

I rested my arms on Finn's shoulders. I knew that I wouldn't be invisible for much longer. I figured that, since Marceline and PB were away, nothing could go wrong from here on out. Not unless Bubblegum failed with her part.

"Hey, Jake, is it just me or is it hot in here?" Finn said.

"It's just you, bro," he said.

"I could swear there was a fire in here," Finn said.

Lady Rainicorn gasped. I got diacovered I guess. "Finn, look up," Lady said. He did so and looked me straight in the eyes.

"Hello. Did you miss me?"

"Are you for real?! Do you remember how long it took me to get over you?!" I yelled at her. Princess Bubblegum looked at me in awe. "I was waiting for things to get better between us for so long! And right when I start to feel happy you're going to crawl back to me! Over means over!"

"I'm going downstairs."

well that plan failed, Princess Bubblegum thought.

Finn frowned. "No, I didn't miss you! Now get out of my face!" Finn said.

"Fine." I kissed his forehead. I looked over to the other side of the room. I saw Marceline walk down the staircase. Perfect timing, I thought.

I walked away from the table. I walked up to the stage and grabbed the mic.

"Oh shoot it's about to get all High School Musical up in here!" Some guy said by the bar. Marceline, Finn, Jake, and Lady all looked at me weirdly.

I started to sing as I looked Finn's way.

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
I know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend

Finn looked at me with his mouth open. Marceline rolled her eyes. I wasn't even done yet!

***: Over my hiatus I adopted Bubbline. Bubbline and Finnceline are my two beautiful children. Even thought they fight, I still love them. OK, I kid, I kid. But I still put Bubbline into my canon. They met before Marceline was queen (king was murdered, for revenge not royalty, and she gained position). They naturally broke up and Marcy ends up with PB or Finn after Finn became friends with them. That's all ya' need to know, right?

Song credits go to 'Girlfriend' by Avril Lavine as suggested by 27scissors. So that was the chapter! Tell me what you think, review, follow, yadda
