Prologue

"I didn't take your cheap doll" a raspy voice called out.

"Dude, i saw you take him right from my book bag" said Marceline.

"Girl, shut up before i beat you down"

"Oh, really?" Marceline said with an evil look as she stood up from where she was sitting. Marceline looked the curly haired freak in the eyes and slowly said, "do you even know who you're messing with? I could end you right here..." Marceline leaned closer to the thief "... right now. "

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm warning you"

The curly haired thief then pushed Marcelines head as she twisted around and walked away. But in that very moment Marceline sprinted towards the thief like a hungry tiger and tackled her to the ground. They fell with a loud thump as everyone moved their desks out of the way. Marceline was sitting on top of the loud mouthed girl, throwing one punch after the other. She was filled with rage and she liked it.

"ARE YOU STILL GONNA BEAT ME DOWN NOW? YOU WORTHLESS MORON!" Marceline roared as a psychotic look covered her usually calm face.

"I don't know what came over me" Marceline said with a frightened tone.

"Well, you know the rules Marceline and I'm afraid that you need to be transferred to a different school" said a tall tan man with white hair.

"Wait, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that you are expelled. Clean out your locker while I call your father to com-" Marceline interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"My father is out of the country on a business trip"

"do you have anyone that could come and get you?"

"Yeah, my uncle Simon. "

"Very well, I'll call him immediately"

As the principal called Simon Marceline took a seat in the main office to wait for her uncle. She sat there and tried to remember what happened to her. "I remember her taking Hambo and I remember her pushing my head back but I can't remember what happened after that... did I black out? "

"Hey Marce, I heard what happened" Marceline jumped as soon as Simon spoke.

"Hey Simon" Marceline said to a tall man. He had short brown hair that flowed down to an outward flip. "Sorry for having you come to get me"

"It's no problem at all, but you can't be starting fights. It hadn't even been a week" Simon looked at Marceline who stood up to leave. As they made their way to the car Marceline stayed five feet ahead of Simon. She didn't want him to interrogate her and make her feel like a criminal. Because of his work he would always put Marceline on the spot. She hates attention and Simon, the one who practically raised her, knew that, but didn't care because he was concerned for her well being.

Marceline swiftly made her way to the passenger side door. "could you unlock the doors?"

"sure, but could you please tell me what EXACTLY happened?"

"I'll tell you later I just want to go home and sleep"

"c'mon Marce you used to tell me everything so why are you shutting me out now?"

"i just dont want to talk about it" Marceline said as she crossed her arms and leaned her back against the car door.

"okay then, just please dont do anything to hurt yourself" simon said with a worried voice. "i dont want you to get hurt again"

"I'll be fine don't worry about me"

"okay well lets go" simon unlocks the doors and gets in to start the car. the whole ride home was quiet and awkward. Desperate to break the silence, simon tried to make conversation with the raven haired teen. "so do you have any ideas for my next comic?"

"youre still making comics?" Marceline said surprised.

"yeah but im a little stuck so i need your help" simon stopped at a red light to talk to his inspiration.

"well, i guess i can tell you what happened today for your story" maceline said with slight hesitation.

"you dont have too marce"

"nah i need to talk about this sooner or later"

"okay well tell me what happened" simon said as he drove off. Marceline told him what she could remember.

"and thats what happened"

"so you just blacked out?" simon said with a slow shaky voice.

"yeah i can't remember anything" marceline looked up at simon as he parked the car in the driveway.

"okay well i think its about time that i tell you"
