Chapter 1 - First Day of School (Part I)
Marceline was outside their house, seated comfortably on a bench….
She was with her Acoustic Bass..
She was currently writing a new song, it was all about having the worst life , and particularly
Having the worst Dad EVER…
Her Dad was a businessman that would always drown himself in his work, Being obsessed with it;
And being obsessed with it meant that they have to move from city to city every year or half a year because of Her Dad's stupid job acquaintances.
The Rocker was obviously irritated; she could never understand why people would act all
Plastic with one another just so they can sell hot dogs or coloring books or whatever…
But she can't do anything about it…
Since her mother's death, there was nobody left but her Dad….
It was him that kept her being an orphan or casted away; unless she had a permanent place to crash in and some cash in her pockets, she had no other choice but to follow with her Dad.
Slowly, Marceline begun to strum her guitar alongside with her silky voice making an entrance,
Once she got the right note, she just blasted it out and went through the song.
Just in the middle of the chorus, she was stopped by a cab's beep….
"Hey Marcy, we have to go now, remember you only got half a week to prepare for school!"
Her father lectured her, which she didn't liked one bit, she was irritated either by her father's voice or his words or maybe even both…
"Yeah…, whatever, let's just go…" Marceline puts down her guitar in it's case and suited it
Inside the car's unbelievable large trunk.
Once finished with her task, she walked to the Car's door leading behind the Car,
She sat down next to her father while holding her mp3 player in her hand; already deciding to drown herself in music So she can at least enjoy the ride to the airport…
Her father seemed to feel the dark Aura and spoke "Your gonna love the place honey, you know your
Brother Marshall Lee right? he lives there now!" He strained his throat as if the next word was casted a curse "Music….you like music right?...his a guitarist of a popular band there now, bet your gonna like their music!"
Marceline looked at her Dad and gave him a look of annoyance that the driver saw which scared him..
"Seriously Dad, if you don't want to Say the word music, don't…."
She said as she puts on her headset and begun to turn up the volume to not hear anything else…
She looked back at her Dad, seeing that he was going on and on about things in the new place…
'This will be a long year….' She thought to herself; slowly she relaxed herself in her seat looking
Through the seemly invisible, transparent Car window.
It begun raining, the streets became a little blurry and there was some noises of water droplets
Striking the ground loudly..
Marceline sighs as she begun to drift asleep, a bit comfortable of the moving scenery she
Was watching.
it was a lot to take in since she had practically grew fond of this City, Pretty much alike all the
others she had been in…
She would surely miss the familiar faces she had met here….
But it's time to meet new faces…hey maybe she can start with her Brother, Marshall, she hasn't seen that guy for at least since 6th grade, and now their like, in 10th grade; they were separated cause Marshall was with their mother, and then their mother died and he was put in custody to their aunt since their Dad was not going to keep two troublemakers at the same time;…it was gonna be heck of a reunion…
Everything went on fast….
Marceline and her Dad had boarded the plane to their destination, it was 4 hour flight before they
Got to the new City…
Once they arrived, they were met by a familiar man Marceline knew very well….
The man stood tall wearing a sort of worn out suit; the only thing that seemed bright in his outfit
Was the red bowtie he wore loosely around his neck.
His hair was a bit grayish and shaggy, but he didn't looked old at all,
he looks like a 26-year old Man at least.
His brown orbs met Marceline through his glasses' blue lenses; he smiled brightly and went to
Give Hudson Abadeer a Brotherly Hug.
After that, he hugged Marceline with a little more of a fatherly one "Long time no see little Marcy!"
"It's nice to see you again Simon" Marceline smiled at him warmly.
Simon was Marceline's uncle, he was very different from her father, he treated her well and
He was even the one that taught Marceline how to play the many different instruments Marceline knew
He and Marceline had shared the Father-Daughter moments that she cherished in her heart;
He was like the father that she always wanted...
Beside the fact that his a pervert to other girls he calls 'princesses'….
Simon pats Marceline's shoulder and asked "So, does little Marcy want to play in the meadows again?"
"Come on Simon, I'm not little anymore, I'm already 18 years-old…" Marceline smirked as she lightly punches Simon on the shoulder
Though he simply chuckled "Oh, my apologies, older more matured Marcy…" He feigns a sigh
As he stated "…I guess she's not up for the Kiddy tomato juice I always make for her…"
The Blacked haired girl drooled over the said Juice; it was her favorite drink aside from the usual
Tomato Juice that was in a juice can, it was different, it tasted fresh and delicious…
And Marceline have a craving for it…
"Wha—No fair Simon, don't do that to me!"
He smiled at the girl's reaction and retaliated "Haha, I guess little Marcy is still there!"
Marceline smiled followed by a small laugh and spoke "Heh…I guess she is"
Her real Father then intruded in the sweet reunion "Sorry, But Simon…" Simon turned his Face to Hudson And said a light "Yes?"
"We need you to drive us to our new Home so we can settle in" He says as he shows his
baggage to the Man.
"Oh right, sorry, Well…" He gestured to Marceline to have him carry her baggage, which she complied
"Let's be on our way!" He announced before he started to walk towards the exit of the Airport;
But it seemed that Marceline's father didn't liked the enthusiasm Simon was giving, and Marceline
Only smirked at sight...
They Drove through a few blocks; Marceline saw a cool looking Music-themed shop and noted
That maybe she should visit that place since it was just two blocks away….
As soon as they got in their new Home, Simon showed that they were just neighbors;
Marceline was glad they were, since she needs some a little Fatherly love that her actual father
Couldn't give her…
Their Home was pretty big, much like a medium sized Mansion.
There were a bunch of furniture that were familiar, and that's because it was theirs.
It was probably set up by her Dad's workers or something….
"Well, I'll be seeing you tomorrow, I have a another meeting to attend to…" Simon says as
He walks out of the door, Hudson then waved at him "Alright, thanks for the help Simon"
"Bye Simon…" Marceline sighs seeing he had to go…but she just walked forward the hallway..
After walking up some stairs, she finally saw her room.
She opened the oak red door And the first thing she noticed was it is very empty, except for a bunch of boxes laying around that was supposed have her stuff in
"figures…I did demanded to Dad I'd fix up my room the way I want it.."
She begun to sit at her supposed Bed that was only covered with a white sheet and a couple
Of white pillows that was fixed up properly..
"Alright now…I guess I have to fix up my room…get ready for school tomorrow..."
She said to herself sarcastically…
She started to open her bag that had her clothes in it…
The next Morning, Marceline woke up with a guitar pick in hand, Her guitar was situated on the floor..
Her room was pretty cleaned up now; her collection of Guitars hanged on the walls, some rock band posters were plastered on around, closets were filled with clothes that seemed to have a majority of black and red combinations; her room looked like how a rockstar's room would look like basically…
She checked the time realizing it was '8:14 am' "Shit.." She was 14 minutes late for school, plus
Add the 10 more minutes she needs to drive just to get to school…
"And I was thinking maybe I'll be early this time…" She sighs at herself remembering the record she holds for being late for her 'firsts days of schools'.
Well since she was late, she lazily took a bunch of clothes from her closet and placed them on her bed.
She made her way to her own bathroom, deciding that she should have a cold shower so she can
Stay awake for the rest of the day…
After what it would seem like a 7 minute rushed shower, she dressed up in her usual punk rock
Clothes which consist of a black striped, red shirt, semi-tattered jeans, red high-cut converse shoes,
And a chain bracelet around her left wrist leaving her right to be unoccupied.
She prepared herself by getting her brown medium sized sling bag and tossing some Stuff for school.
When she was done, she walked downstairs to find her father asleep on the kitchen table and
A bunch of papers on his hand that seemed to be documents…
She sighs at the sight and proceeded to go to the garage; she has been driving since she
Was 10-years old and won a couple of racing tournaments and then just disappearing from the racing
Business as so she states that 'it's not my thing' statement…
On her way to the garage she hoped that her bike is already shipped in their new house since
Their stuff were supposed to be shipped here and fixed already, cause they were
Sent here a week prior to them travelling…
The moment she took step in the garage she did not find her motorbike, but a shiny new One.
It had the details that Marceline always like-in fact loved , and it had the most expensive and impressive
Looking parts and engine; it was a masterpiece, and just stuck on the side mirror were a sticky note
Dear Marceline
Hey there little Marcy, I know we haven't seen each other for
At least 3 and a half years, but I wanted to show that you are welcome here
Anytime and whatnot, hope you still like to ride along the shorelines—I'll
Have Marshall Lee show you around town.
Hope you love my gift to you, have a fun year here Marceline.
From Uncle Simon
Marceline smiled at the gesture; she had expected that Simon would do this kind of thing, but
To buy her a motorbike like this is simply intimidating, she wonders if she really knows
How filthy rich that guy is…
But enough of that "Time to enjoy this Bike!.." She exclaimed, she got the keys on a nearby table
And inserted it to the keyhole, slowly twisting it, she could feel the need for speed for speed..
She pushed the correct button to actually start it up and slowly—moving Hastily, she begun to
Drive out of the garage and out to the road…
Feeling the wind through her hair were amazing and cooling even though her hair was unkept..
The smell of tires and engine sounds just quipped her excitement..
She turned off the motor, and got off her new bike; she puts her keys in her pocket and trailed
Out of the parking lot.
She was met by another nostalgic and yet refreshing face..
Marshall Lee walked to his sister's side and greeted her like she remembers how he does as always
"Sup geek, nice to see you stop by"
He'd always greet her with a tone of coolness and a sassy- chilling personality…
Thought Marceline and Marshall Lee looked all too much alike; well their twins so they
Should have a lot of things in common..
But they were like carbon copies for each other, except for tiny bits of their personality
Are conflicting..and though if they are conflicting, it would be massive and big…
"Hey Weirdo, couldn't help myself really..…anyways, be a nerd and show me around?"
The two would constanly insult each other with intriguing nicknames, but their only joking around,
On serious matters, they would team up and be the 'Duo troublemakers'..
Marshall smirked seeing that his sister hasn't changed one bit "Sure, but it's gonna be fast, we missed two of our classes already…"
Marceline chuckled and followed Marshall Lee to the School lobby..
"So School Lobby…let's see….see that board over there?" He pointed at big board situated at the front of the lobby; it had some papers stuck on in and pinned, some of them seems really important and some
Are like doodles of sorts..
"That's the 'Board of freedom' or like our principal would always say 'How people of A.O Academy would be better if they show their true colors'…but seriously, it's just some clubs and Event announcements…..Ah right, I'm in the music club, we have band, if you wanna join just come and tell me, you still play Bass right?"
Marceline gave him a bewildered look to convey her sarcastic note "Of course, I never stopped dude"
"Heh. Ok, let's move on then"
They moved on to a flight of stairs….
when they reached the top, they could view the school garden from below "And right below…that's the school garden, a lot of events take place there in a year, Things could get hectic cause even though it's large and spacious, it's hard to place where stuff goes.."
The blacked haired girl nodded on and walked to the next destination…
They reached a hall full of rooms "Well there's always a name plate above the doors in a room to identify what room it is, but you should really get used to know, what's that and this…"
He gestured at the Arts room, Music room, Science Lab, Home Economics room, Computer Lab, and the other rooms are either empty classrooms that are used by clubs or storage rooms…
After another flight of stairs, they reached a room called 'Adventure Time'
"Seriously, our section is called 'Adventure Time' ?" Marshall Lee chuckled and states "Yeah, they can come up with the stupidest names ever…though they shortened it to '2nd year-Class AT.."
" Wait….Please don't tell me that your band's name is Adventurers…."She asked sarcastically
Much to Marshall amusement…
"Hey, it's a pretty cool name—it's 'Adventure Seekers'" Marshall said in a matter-of-fact tone..
Marceline quirked her eyebrow and seems to nod anyways "..well...guess 'Seekers' isn't that bad.."
"See! now time to meet your classmates dude!"
"Yipee…can't wait…! " She sarcastically exclaimed earning another smirk from her brother..
They opened the wooden door to see that they have intruded the class
in the middle of a teacher teaching..
Dr. Dextrose was explaining the theory of evolution when he feels the presence of the Abadeers..
"Well, if it isn't Marshall Lee…and is this your sister? I have been informed that she would come today.."
He seized up Marceline, making sure he get her face memorized already …
Awkwardly, Marceline breaks the silence and semi-introduced herself "Um..yeah, I'm this Loser's Awesome sister, Marceline Abadeer..yeah, um…that's it I guess..?" unsure of the next sequences,
Marceline sweat drops to only sigh in relief for the teacher had already taken over.
"You can seat over there, next to Tera Sheldon…" Marshall patted his sister's back and gave her a smirk
To which she retorted with an eye roll..
Her seat was near the left end, where a window is beside her and a smiling girl is greeting her.
"Hi, I'm Tera…Marceline right?...you look soo much like your brother…. like in a kind of 'if Marshall lee is a girl' situation thing.." The girl wore a dark brown turtle neck and had a pale complexion; Marceline can read people easily just by their looks, and it would Seem that This 'Tera' girl seems the type to be slow and klutzy; but as if she has a problem with that, The Raven haired girl exchanged a smile with her and started "Yeah…we're like twins so we're supposed to have a really huge resemblance with each other.."
"Oh…well that was obvious, I mean you two wouldn't be look
alikes if you two aren't twins or in fact siblings!" She said in a matter of fact way..
Marceline slightly blush though simply shrugged it off and continued the conversation "..Well that being said…we're nothing alike…I mean, I'm more mature than him so…." She ended sarcastically.
Tera giggled to what Marceline said, so this made her feel confident and smirk at the sort-of quirky
Girl she has for a classmate.
Right then, another classmate called out for Tera "Turtle Princess…we're canceling movie night, something came up.."
The girl quietly whispered to 'Turtle Princess'…
Marceline was a bit curious about the name, so as Tera thanked the student for telling her, she
Asked the question immediately "Hey…what's with the princess thing, don't tell me you're some sort of royalty or something?!" The raven-haired girl exclaimed sarcastically again and earned her another
Chuckling Tera
"..No, not at all….Actually it's a 'thing' here"
"A 'thing'?"
"You see, students around here are like super into royalty and things like that, so sometimes, some people call others by Prince 'this' or Princess 'that', it's a bit old and odd, but it's a 'thing' here.."
Marceline didn't really get the taste of people here; it was pretty weird—calling somebody by Princess; what is this, a stupid fairytale? Marceline doesn't really believe in happily ever afters so…
"Actually…you should talk with LSP if you want to know the things that go around here" Tera whispered the moment Marceline snapped from his trance; tha Raven-haired girl didn't catch all that, but she heard the 'LSP' part.
"LSP? Whose that?" Tera chuckled while Marceline was rubbing the back of her head in confusion
"Well she's like the gossip girl, and she's pretty famous as Lumpy Space Princess—she's famous around her blog too" It seems to Marceline that this 'Gossip Girl' might be annoying since The raven-haired always hated people who spread baseless rumors about others…
"Thanks…but I'll pass, I'll have my brother show me around.."
"Oh, but please…put it in consideration, if you need any help going about, just ask her ok, she needs other people talking with her besides me…." Tera looked like she was saddened, perhaps this 'LSP' is a friends of hers that is having some sort of trouble..?
"Ye-yeah..I'll think about it"
"Thank you Marceline….oh and, let's turn our attention back to , it's like his giving us his 'Evil Eye'"
Marceline gave a quick glance at their teacher; and it was true that he did seem to be eyeing the two girls carefully. The Rebel simply chuckled though and faced the teacher in order to avoid getting scolded. Tera, as well, returned her attention to the lecture, smiling that she had made friends with the new student…
After two more classes with _ and Cinamon Bun ( or as the students would call ) ;
Their teachers for History and—well no one really knew what Cinamon Bun was teaching them, or the reason why he was teaching them about a spoon that is supposed to be called the 'Spoon of Prosperity'….
Marceline manage to stay awake at his lecture though, rather that staying up in History class, because she was pretty sure it was gonna be hell boring, so she made use of the time to take a nap out of class—meaning she ditched a class….
By the time the Rocker woke up, it was exactly lunch, so she stood up and head out to the canteen…
