Disclaimer: I don't own Adventure Time
Hola people! So this is my second story: College Adventure which obviously is after my first: Time and Love Rollercoasters. So if you liked the first, you might like this one too! And if your new to my stories, WELCOME!
This is Chapter 1
The sun reached in through the window of a fresh 19-year-old Finn Mertens. He groggily arose from his full size and sighed "Today's the day." He quickly took a shower, threw on some gray sweats and a white T-shirt. "Not like I'm going to class." He gazed around his mostly empty room with content. He sighed. Then his mom called him from downstairs "Finn! Jake is here!" At that Finn grabbed his black jacket and ran downstairs. His mom greeted him with tears "Look at my Finny-boy. Off to college."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be back for vacation before you know it.." He gave her a hug and kissed the top of her head. "I'll be fine." Finn's dad wrapped his arm around his mother and then said "Well, son, you go on and learn until your heart's content. Try to have a good time, too. But not too much of a good time, I'm not paying tuition for you to bring back bad grades now."
Finn nodded and with a wave goodbye, he walked towards Jake's car. Jake grinned slyly "Looking pretty spiffy for your first day, bro."
"Shut up man. All I'm doing today is chilling in my dorm, making it more my style. First day's not until next week." Finn replied. Finn, Jake and their dad already moved all of his stuff over to his dorm last week, but Finn wanted to stay with his parents a little while longer before he moved himself over there, to allow himself and his parents enough closer time on the now-ending period of their lives: Kids living at home. As he and Jake drove away, he turned around to take one last look of his parents, who stood outside waving, and smiled. He turned back around and looked ahead to the unknown road that he was venturing on. "What will be there at Ooo University for me? How will my life be?" he pondered.

As the two official university students entered the parking lot of the university, Finn started getting really excited.
"OHHHHH MAN! What should I do first? Where should I GO first?" Finn exclaimed. Jake pulled him over towards the U directory.
"They have an ARCADE? A GYM? A FOOD COURT? BURGER KING? I might have to reconsider how long I stay back at mom's and dad's for vacation." Finn replied his mind completely blown.
Jake replied casually "Nah man, that's the freshman shock talking. I've been here for two years now and trust me, ain't nothin like going back to a home-cooked meal." They continued to walk around while Jake gave Finn an exclusive tour… of his secret hideouts. There was one in the gym, at the arcade, in the pizza place, by the girl's dorms, around the tech building and finally the one in the science building.
"… This is where me and Lady sneak out to, when the night is just going to sweet to end it short because of curfew. Whenever you need to, you can use it. Just don't be showing it to your friends. It needs to stay a secret." Jake said as he let Finn peer inside a small attic-like area that had looked to be long forgotten, a drop-down stair case that led to the sanctuary, had been painted over to look like it was never there. Finn wondered "How did Jake find this place anyway? Hmm, an even better question is why he was in the science building in the first place. He's not too into math and science."
Lady was Jake's college girlfriend. She's been at Ooo University a year longer than Jake. He met her after a year of being at Ooo when they took an advance viola class together. Her real name is Raini, but Jake found her so 'lady'-like, he nicknamed her Lady. They have been together only a year, but to them and the rest of the family, they could be married. And because of this, they decided that they should wait until they are done with their degrees before they got married.
"I don't think I'll really NEED to use it, but I'll still keep it a secret for you guys." Finn replied as Jake quickly pushed the stairs up, making sure no one saw. Just then, the scent of bubblegum and peppermint flushed their senses as a tall figure passed them by. She noticed them from the corner of her eye so she turned an approached, only to be awestruck by the fresh but strangely familiar face accompanied by another familiar but warm one.
"Hey Jake. And mind my asking, but who is this?" Bonnibel Babbilon questioned.
"You don't remember?" Finn asked trying his hardest to ignore the slight twinge he felt in his chest. She took a closer, harder look at him. When she realized who it was, her eyes increased in size and she threw her arms excitedly around Finn's neck.
"FINNN? No way! I haven't seen you in forever! You look so different with your hair crew cut liked that. I almost didn't recognize you." Bonnibel responded in complete shock of her friend's transformation.
Finn laughed "Almost?"
Bonnibel defended herself "Yeah, almost. I knew you looked familiar but I couldn't decide exactly who"
"Oh okay, Bonnie" Finn said sarcastically. Bonnie scoffed as she punched him in the arm "Don't mock me!" Finn looked down at his arm and then stared back at her "Was that supposed to hurt?" He looked at her disapprovingly "What a shame."
Bonnie laughed lightly and sighed "Same old Finn."
"Same old Bonnie." Finn replied.
"What are you wearing Finn? What, you dressed yourself in the dark this morning, or does this new looking Finn like to look like a two-year old dressed him?" she raised her eyebrow and smirked. Finn looked down at his attire, realizing he did in fact make a big mistake in choice of clothes. "Maybe Jake knew we would end up running into her and that's why he 'hinted' at me changing." A trace of red hid underneath his cheeks as he said " Yeah well…" He tried to give a good comeback but the effort was to no avail.
Bonnie grinned even wider when he didn't say anything else and said "So what are you guys doing here anyway? Especially you, Jake. You don't like science."
"Oh well, I was just showing my strangely dressed bro around. It's his first day at campus." Jake replied coolly.
"WHAT? It's your first day here? You didn't go to orientation?!" Bonnie exclaimed. Finn shook his head "Nah, Jake told me it was really boring." Bonnie scowled at Jake "Really?" Jake shakily shrugged his shoulders
"Well as an official new student guide, I have to give you a tour of the campus." Bonnie said matter-o-factly.
"Oh no, do I have to?" Finn whined. Bonnie firmly nodded "Yes, I am sure Jake didn't show you every building and depending on your classes this semester, you might have to go to all of them for studying and things along those lines." Finn sighed but followed Bonnie out. He motioned for Jake to come along but Jake didn't want to.
"I already went out on that, years ago. I know all the buildings I need to know. Plus I gotta a date with Lady tonight, so I gotta go get ready. See ya later dude!" Jake said apologetically as he ran off.

Finn and Bonnie went around through all the buildings and into each room, so then Finn would know their locations. Luckily, Ooo U has a block of 30-45 minutes in the day where none of the classes were occupied, so they didn't disturb anyone. Bonnie decided she would treat Finn to Burger King before showing him the dorms, so they went to the food court.
Being really packed, especially around 5, the food court usually was but oddly today it wasn't. Bonnie said "Hmm, must be because not all the students are here yet. It's a week before classes so the only students I can think of that might be here are the jocks, who prep for games this week."
Since there was no line at the register, Finn went right up to the cashier.
"Hello sir, how can I help you to have it your way today?" the cashier said
"Uhh, I would like a Chipotle Whopper, large fries and a Pepsi." Finn said, his mouth began watering as the words left.
"And for the lady?" the cashier said as he tapped Finn's order into the computer.
"I will have the Double Hamburger also with fries and a Coke." Bonnie said
Finn looked at her oddly.
"What?" She asked curiously
"Are you sure you want a DOUBLE hamburger?" Finn replied as crossed his arms, making an uneasy face.
Bonnie was confused "Why wouldn't I be sure?"
Finn said "Well….." He leaned back, looking down in her direction as a sly grin crept on to his face. "That cabooze of yours hasn't gotten any smaller since the last time I saw it." Bonnie stood agape as her cheeks tinged a red color. She started laughing and pushed Finn hard "You jerk! Shutup!"
The cashier tried to hold back a laugh "So that's a yes on the Double Hamburger then?"
"Oh don't you start too! Yes, it's a yes on the double." Bonnie whined.
Hungrier than they thought they were, Bonnie and Finn scarfed down their food within 20 minutes. Then they were off to the dorms. Bonnie showed Finn to the girls dorms first. Thankfully, there weren't any girls present, so Finn was able to roam around without the fear of walking in on someone. Bonnie then showed Finn her room, and it was quite obvious the huge room was shared. Half had been primped in pink and was clean while the other was messily arrayed with dark colored clothes, a red guitar and a few rock band CD cases. Both beds were made, one with dark blue sheets and the other with pink
"Oh sorry about the mess over there. That's my roommate, Marceline. She's not really this messy but I think its just the whole getting back into the college routine thing." Bonnie replied.
They soon left to the boys dormitories. And Bonnie had been correct in her hunch earlier, the jocks were there. They all had seemed to be really nice, a little too much to Bonnie, for Finn's liking.
"Woooo! Hey guys! Bel is back." said one of them.
"Hey Brad."
"How was YOUR summer? Did go out and show off that great little body of yours, that I know you hide under those clothes?" Brad smiled
Bonnie blushed and averted her eyes "I don't know what you mean. And I just hung out, nothing really."
"Who's this guy?" Brad scoffed
Bonnie petted Finn's arm "Oh this is my long time friend, Finn. He just got here"
"Oh so he's freshmea… I mean a freshman?" Brad said as tried to cover up his misstep of words in front of Bonnie. It didn't work. "Yes he's a freshman, and you better not try anything with him or I'll have your hide." Bonnie replied, standing on her toes to reach Brad's stature. She huffed in his face. But this only made him more eager. "You can have anything you want of me, Bel." He smirked. Bonnie blushed again, turning away from him. "Let's go to your room Finn." She said as she quickly walked away, not wanting to be near Brad for another minute. Finn read off the number of his dorm until they reached it. It had a white board attached to it which said his name, Finn Mertens. No one else's were there. "Oh it seems that you don't have a roommate." Bonnie said as she stared at the white board. "How lucky!" Finn shrugged as he got out the key and opened the door. All his valuable stuff from his house was in this room, already organized the way he liked it. " I guess Jake must have come in here and did this, as a surprise." Finn thought. Bonnie just gazed at the room in awe "So these are the thoughts of Finn Mertens, or at least some of them." She walked over to his closet "So you do have a better taste in clothes! You had me worried." She smirked at him as he just rolled his eyes. She continued to look through his clothes until she caught a glimpse of her watch. "Oh my gosh! It's already 6:30. I gotta get back to my dorm! Marceline should be back from her dad's and I have to let her in because she lost her key. I'll come back to catch up with you more tomorrow okay?"
"Yeah okay. I'm kinda drained from today anyway, so I was just gonna hit the sack." Finn yawned. Bonnie nodded and as she closed the door to Finn's dorm she said "See ya tomorrow!"
Within minutes of laying down, Finn fell asleep.
As Bonnie entered the main lounge of the boys, she started to hear whistling.
"Somebody turn the heater on, cuz the hot Bel is leaving the building!" one of them said
"Bye boys." Bonnie replied nonchalantly
All the jock guys started whining.
"Noooo, come on, Bel, stay awhile" another said
"I can't, Jeremy. I have to go let my friend in." she said sternly
Jeremy hollered "Forget you friend! Doesn't she have her own key?"
Bonnie frowned "No she lost hers. Why would I have to let her in if she had hers?"
Jeremy said "Oh" And at that, Bonnie left without another word. She power-walked back over to the girl dormatories and ran up the stairs to her room, to find Marceline standing outside with her suitcase "Took you long enough." Bonnie apologized and unlocked the door, letting both of them in. Marceline trudged into the room, casting her suitcase aside and taking a seat on her bed. She grabbed her guitar while took a seat on her respective bed. "So how was your dad's?"
Marceline sighed "Same as always. Draining and not really something I want to talk about"
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Bonnie replied
"Why were you late?" Marceline inquired slightly annoyed because Bonnie is rarely late for anything.
"Oh well I was showing this new student around and got hung up at the boys dormatories" Bonnie awkwardly said.
Marceline raised her eyebrow, looking at her uneasily. Bonnie quickly replied "Nothing happened, though."
"Oh good. So another new guy student huh? What was he like?" She asked relieved. Bonnie lit up "Oh my gosh, you would never guess who it is. It's Finn from Douglas Wair High!"
Marceline laughed "That dork?!"
Bonnie replied "He's not that much of a dork! He doesn't even look like one anymore…" She then realized that throughout her day with Finn, she hadn't recognized just how much he had changed. He looked much different, older, even handsomer. She suddenly felt very hot and bothered as she continued to think about Finn silently. Marceline smirked "Bon…" Bonnie turned towards her name but continued to stare off into space.
"You like him don't you?" Marceline smiled. Bonnie snapped out of her daze and blushed "WHAT? No, I don't like… No that's not… Shut up." Marceline's smile got even bigger. Bonnie abruptly said "I'm gonna take a shower."
Marceline laughed "With the look on your face a minute ago, you should take a cold one." Bonnie blushed furiously and quickly walked to the bathroom. 20 minutes later, Bonnie walked out in a white robe and white towel wrapped on her head. Marceline had fallen asleep so Bonnie decided to throw on her pajamas and hit the sack too… after she put a mustache on her sleeping friend, paying her back for her remark earlier. "Haha, let's see who'll be laughing when you wake up to darker lip tomorrow."
Bonnie hopped into bed and started drifting off to sleep. "This year will be great." She said as new Finn passed through her mind. "…Yeah" she sighed as she fell asleep.
A/N: Sooooo did you like Finn's first day at college? I hope you did.
Do you like Bonnie's last name? I wasn't sure so I just made something up that sounded cool. At least to me.
More to come in the next week
R&R, please!
Until Next,
Spazzy
