The shadows of passing houses blocked her light as the bus continued down another road; making her have to wait a small bit before the sunlight from the window shined back onto her book. Bonnibel let out a content sigh. It was moments like these that seemed to get more rare with every passing day and was very happy to be able to finally read her favorite book of chemical reactions in the body despite what she had to do to get to this blissful place.
A resident of Ooo City and a student at Ice Kingdom High School; Bonnibel Bubblegum had alot on her plate. She was the daughter of two of the most richest people in the city, Mr. and Mrs. Bubblegum; both being amazing scientists in their fields. Bonnibel was to be able to live up to them, even maybe go over them in the study of science. She was already preforming many experiments that has rivaled her mothers and fathers work: putting in hours of sleepless nights to write down formulas and other needed processes to do her work.
Though Bonnibel loved science, the pressure of living up to her parents was given by everyone can get to you sometimes.
School was also a hassle was in all advance classes and understood them all; it wa just all the homework and work that took the time. She had barely anytime to do anything; play cards with her favorite bulter, talk to her best friend lady, watch Finn and Jakes new high five of the week, or even just read. Oh glob, did she miss reading.
Finally, she decided to get away after finding out she was losing hair due to stress. She had taken off her goggles up over her head when a couple(or maybe alot) strands of hair fell off her head.
Thats it. She needed a break.
Bubblegum then grabbed her book, along with her keys and phone, and went out to her balcony after writing a small note of where she was heading and put it on her bed. Jumping with a small yell, she jumped from the railing of the balcony to one of the tree branches in her apple tree right next to it. She made it down to the ground rather ungracefully, landing on her butt, and walked out to the bus stop, where she hopped on. She figued that the bus would make a round trip again, ending up somewhere near her house again.
With that, she sat down in a seat, using the light of the sun to read her book. It was peaceful almost as she read on. The only sounds was the faint mumur of people talking and the bus engine, but Bonnibel really didn't mind it.
She continued to sit on the bus, not realizing the people getting off and on the train as the sunlight could be seen tuning a slight orange color, showing dusk coming soon.
" Hey."
Bonnibel looked up slightly from her book as she heard the voice as it sounded directed at her and was closer then the chatter of the few other passengers.
A women around Bubblegums own age was standing at Bubblegums side. Raising her head more, she was able to see more of the girl.
She wore a wolfish smile that consisted of two fang-like teeth in the front. Long jet black hair that reached down to her waist fell a little in front of her pale face as she blew stands of it away and adjusted her gray flannel over a black tanktop, which held her figure nicely, along with dark jeans. Bubblegum couldn't help but be somewhat transfixed. It wasn't until the stranger waved her hand slightly infront of Bonnibels face that she realized she was staring at her.
" Hello? Earth too...umm...You okay?"
" Oh! Um, sorry." Bubblegum jumped slightly as she looked up to the other girl who wore a smirk across her face.
"Its cool. Just wondering if i could sit there." The stranger pointed to the seat next to Bubblegum.
" Y-yes, of course." As the women took the seat beside her, Bubblegum noticed how many seats were open still on the bus yet decided to sit next to her. Bubblegum found her page again in her book, losing it from the sudden appearence of the other girl. Though, a black odd shaped case on the other side of the women caught her eye. She glanced from her book to the case every few seconds, trying to think of what it held.
" Its my bass," the other girl said as if reading her mind, but was merely observing the constant glances to her instrument Bubblegum preformed.
" Oh, really? Interesting." Bubblegum looked over more to see the case with a curious look.
"Ha, i guess so. And that,um,body chemical book looks...interesting?" The stranger said with a smirk and a eyebrow raised.
"I find this enjoyable, thank you very much." Bubblegum said with fustration in her voice. The stranger put her hands up defensively.
" Woah, hey there, i wasn't trying to get ya mad there. Just trying to make some converstation."
" Yes, well, your not doing a very good job, sorry."
"How am i suppose to make small talk if i don't even know your name though?" A smile from the women made Bubblegums heart race suddenly. Why was she acting this way? Getting defensive and all? And, glob, why couldn't her stupid heart stop beating so fast?
" Bonnibel. Bonnibel Bubblegum." She replied, trying to ignore the fast rhythens in her chest.
" Im Marceline. Nice to meet cha' Bonni." The two both shaked hands as Bubblegum felt a small spark come from the touch. Great, now her heart was never going to slow down.
"So where you headin' to, Bon?"
"Well, just going for a nice joy ride i presume."
" Joy ride eh? No hot date to get to?"
" U-um no.I don't have a date of any kind."
"Shame." A wink from Marceline makes Bubblegums face flush.
" So, your reading a science book on this 'joy ride'? Isnt that what school is for?"
" Well, some of like to actually read outside of school."
" Weird. You go to some smart private school or something?"
" No, i attend Ice Kingdom High School."
" Cool, same here!"Marceline fist bumps the sky slightly.
" Yes, well, were are you heading?" Bubblegum booksmark her page and sets the book in her lap as Marceline pats her bass case and points to it.
" Heading home. Just had a awesome jam session with my pals Finn and Jake. We rocked like always." Bubblegum giggled slightly as the musicians towering confidence.
" oh, Finn humani and Jake Douglas?"
" Ya, you know them?"
They talked about how Bubblegum knew Finn and Jake from them helping her get rid of this one creepy senor dude trying to date her, by the name of Simon. They also spoke of school,the gossip girl by the nickname of Lsp,music science experiments and why Bubblegum was trying to read on this stinky bus. They stayed like that as they became the only two people on the bus still, day becoming night now. The bus slowed to a stop as Marceline looked up.
" Oh, this is my stop." She stood up and grabbed her bass, throwing it over her shoulder.
" Its pretty dark. You sure you wanna stay on here? You can crash with me if you want."
Bubblegum shook her head." No,it fine, thank you. My parents are probably worries, despite me leaving a note."
" You can call them tonight and hang with me. Its a friday and we could totes have a bunch of fun. Heck, i can let you borrow my math book in my closet from school if you want."
" As inviting as that sounds, I'm good."
" Okay, sure." Marceline then turned on her heel and headed to the front of the bus.
" I'll see you soon, Marceline!" Bonnibel called out. As Marceline turned to walk off the bus, she turned her head slightly to Bublegum with a smirk before walking off.
Bubblegum stared as Marceline walked off, the bus making noise as its doors shut and the engine got ready to drive away oncce more. Bubblegum sighed slightly before reaching over to the seat she had put her belongings. All she felt was the rough fabric of the seat. Looking to the side, sure enough, that was all she saw. Standing up, she searched around and under the seats before looking up to the window to see a figure waving at her from outside.
It was Marceline, and in her hand she was waving was her book and other hand holding her phone and keys, a mischievous smile playing across her face.
Bubblegum smashed her face up against the window with a face of disbelieve, trying to see if what was before her was true. Suddenly, she felt the bus start to take off, and she pushed her self away from the window, trying to keep herself from falling over.
" STOP THE BUS! I NEED TO GET OFF!"
Authors note: Well, this was suppose to be a one shot, but im thinking of making it a two shot now. This was inspired by a bubbline picture on tumbler that i saw but don't know the creator. So, if you do, tell the good job and credit goes to them. Thanks for reading!:)
