"Marceline you shouldn't be swinging your bat everywhere like it's a toy." Bonnibel said as she rolled her eyes at her childish best friend. "Relax Bon. I'm sure I know how to handle this. Besides this bat has saved all of us from certain things hasn't it?" Marceline smirked. Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline Abadeer, the best of friends since birth. Marceline was nine years old when she lost her mother, and since her father wasn't around as much she stayed with her caretaker Simon. Since the death of Marceline's mother Bonnibel had remained beside the raven haired girl since then and she didn't mind it at all. She actually enjoyed being around the raven haired girl, it made her feel warm inside. "Oh my glob. Marceline. We're like all hungry and junk when are you gonna go get some foooooood?" Lucielle yelled. "Yo Lsp. Chillax man. Marcy got this all covered. We're gonna head out and gather some food and bring it back. You, Pb, Flame, Lady, Marshall and Bubba stay here and watch the house. We'll be back soon." Keila said pushing past Lucielle towards the other group of friends. "Marshall. Keep the house clean, and I mean clean. Not some harem dream you'd love." Marceline grinned. Marshall Lee only replied with a smirk and waved off his cousin. "Wait! Marceline!" Bonnibel grabbed Marceline's wrists and pulled her into a tight hug. "Please come back safe and sound with everyone, and please don't be reckless. I don't want to lose you." Bubblegum looked deep into those crimson eyes that only stared back into those ocean blue eyes. Marceline pulled Bonnibel closer to her and whispered in her ear. "I promise to always come back to you Bonnie." Soon after she pulled away and gave Bonnibel her sweetest smiles before heading towards the door. "We'll be back guys. Stay safe and try not to kill each other while we're gone!" Marceline yelled as she closed the door.
"Mar-celine! Ma-"
"Huh?"
"Marceline! Wake up! We're going to be late for school!" Bonnibel yelled as she struggled to pull the raven haired girl up. Marceline managed to come back to Earth and smiled. She honestly didn't mind being woken up like this almost constantly, she wouldn't trade it for the world. "Marceline! Are you even listening?! We have two tests to take today and out of all the days you decide to stay up playing video games you chose last night?!" Bubblegum exclaimed. Marceline laughed and stood from her bed and headed towards her bathroom. "Bonnie I heard you! I'll be out! Just give me like 3 seconds to get dressed." She said playfully. "Oh you! You better hurry, and your three seconds are up! Hmph." Bonnibel pouted. Marceline didn't even have to physically see Bonnie pout to know that she was pouting. "She's so cute" Marceline thought. "Alright alright Bon. Jeez, I'm out!" She replied while tying her hair back into a pony tail leaving the bangs down. Marceline decided to wear her "No smoking" t-shirt under her leather jacket, skinny jeans, and her red converses. As for Bonnibel, she decided to wear a thin pink sweater with a kitty on it over a Korean style jacket her best friend Lady gave to her, pink skinny jeans, and some combat boots. "Let's roll." As the girls were making their way out of the door towards Marceline's car they heard a loud thunk coming from the kitchen. "Glib Glommit.." a man muttered. "Yo Si! You good?" Marceline yelled while putting on her shoes. "Yeah! Damn spider jumped at me." He shook his head. "Well did you expect it to stand there and be killed?" Bonnibel giggled. "You got a point there princess. Anyways, I hope you guys aren't doing anything after school today Pep is having a special at the bar tonight and he's expecting you all to be there. That means you too Marshy!" Simon yelled playfully. "Awe c'mon Si! I thought I was hiding pretty well from where I was at." An invisible figure said. Suddenly Bubblegum felt wind blowing from behind her and she quickly turned around to see nothing there. "What the-" she said as she turned back around only to be stopped by a tiny force against her nose. "Gotcha." Marshall said walking towards the door. "See you guys at school!" he yelled. Marceline looked from the door to Bonnie, who had a confused look on her face. "What just happened?" Bonnibel said still in her state of shock. "Oh you know Marshy. He can get a little flirty sometimes." Simon chuckled. Marceline finished putting on her shoes and stood up slowly. "Yeah well we gotta go. We're already late anyways, so you wanna grab some breakfast on the way there Bon?" Marceline asked slightly annoyed. "You're not really a good influence on me are you Marceline?" She replied smacking the other girl on the arm playfully. Marceline only shrugged and grabbed the pink haired girl's hand. "We'll see you later Si! Don't get too crazy when we're gone and watch the house!" Marceline yelled closing the door. Simon nodded his head and smiled. "I hope she always stays the same." They were approximately twenty four minutes late to class. Apparently Bonnibel had lost track of time while eating breakfast and flipped out when she realized how late they were. "Oh my glob. What are we going to say? Will we get in trouble? What about attention? What if-" Bonnie was ranting before she was hushed by Marceline putting her finger up to her mouth. "Bon. Don't worry. We'll walk in and if teach says something to us let me do all the talking, and if not then just casually walk to our desk. Okay?" Marceline smiled. Bonnibel nodded and proceeded walking with Marceline to their first class, which they had together. The two girls were noticed by the slightly thick teacher but were dismissed seconds later so Ms. Trunks could resume her lesson. After taking their seats Bonnibel quickly took out her notebook and started writing down notes. As for Marceline, she just put her legs on her desk and laid back. "You really should be studying Marceline! We have a test next period and for Calculus which by I won't be in that class for you to cheat off of!" Bonnibel whispered almost too loudly. "Relax Bon. I studied. I got this in the bag." Marceline replied with a cheeky grin. She wasn't lying when she said she studied, but she never said she'd actually remember everything. The bell had rung and Marceline was shoved awake for she had fallen asleep in her relaxed position she was in. "Marceline. I'm getting tired of waking you up every morning. Why did you even take accounting if you're not even interested?!" Bonnie softly yelled as she pushed past Marcy. "Whoa. Bonnie come on. I took accounting because you're in here. Besides Ooo's arts and communication pathway sucks! Come on. I'm sorry… I'll try harder from now okay? Please don't be mad at me." Marceline begged softly grabbing on Bonnibel's backpack. Bonnibel can't stay mad at her best friend no matter how much she annoyed her. Marceline was the only person who was able to tolerate how she was without lecturing her about staying up late researching and doing science experiments. You practically say that Marceline was the only person who supported her late night experiments. "Marceline. If you're going to make promises you have to be certain that you're going to keep them. Otherwise they aren't meaningful." Bonnie sighed. "I promise Bonnibel. I will try my hardest to make you proud okay? I will keep this promise till the day I die, Hell! Even till after I die!" Marceline smiled. Bonnibel smiled back and slowly turned away and walked towards her next class, which she also had with Marceline. The raven haired girl soon followed behind and was now walking with the other girl to class. On their way to class both Marceline and Bonnibel were chit chatting about the event that was going to happen after school until they heard a familiar voice which they both hated. "Come on punk. Get up, be a man and fight back!" a cocky smile on the boy's face said. "Ash, back off. I'm just trying to get to class." Said a boy who looked like a child from a cartoon show. "Man, you're just a chump. You like to come off as some hero when you're just a nobody." Ash laughed. Fumed, Bonnibel pushed past the crowd and stood in front of Ash with her arms crossed. "Please leave before things get out of hand, Ash." Bonnibel said glaring at the boy. "Chill out babe. I'm only messing with the kid. Right Finny boy?" he smirked while attempting to grab Bonnie's hand. Marceline, who had also pushed past the crowd, was helping Finn up and stared at Ash with her infamous death glare. "Don't fucking touch her Ash or I will rip your fucking balls off." She angrily said after helping Finn up and walked next to Bonnie. "Marceline. Watch your mouth." Bonnie lectured while turning around. As Marceline was about to say something Bonnie was pulled back harshly by the punk boy and was now held at her waist by his muscular arm. "Hey! Let me go you ass!" Bonnibel yelled. "Come on babe. Let's go have some fun after school today. Let's ditch these chumps and go grab a bite at my place." He said struggling to keep the pink haired girl in his grip. Finn started to say something and furiously walked towards Ash until he was stopped by an aggressive force preventing him from moving anywhere past Marceline. "Marcy?" Finn questioned. "Stay back Finn. I'll deal with this asshole myself." Marceline sternly said without breaking her stare at the other boy. "Come on bro. Don't get yourself into this when Marcy is pissed." Jake, Finn's older brother said. Finn sighed in defeat and retreated back to his original place, in the back. As Marceline and Ash's stare contest became more intense the more students crowded around them. Suddenly all that was heard around the three students were the words fight fight fight fight. "What are you going to do bitch? Fight me? Ha. As if! I'll break those chicken bones you call arms in a matter of seconds, just try me." Ash grinned. Bonnibel stared at Marceline, who had her head down, in utter disbelief. Is she really going to let him talk to her like this?! Bonnie thought. Suddenly there was a laugh that was all too familiar. Marceline had busted out laughing in the middle of a fight. "Oh boy! You must love playing the tough guy for attention huh? You don't intimidate me at all. If anything you'd seem more scared than tough because you know that a girl can beat your ass in the matter of seconds. Come on kid. I dare you to try and swing at me." Marceline laughed as she finally lifted her head. Ash knew he wouldn't stand a chance against a girl who knew how to fight, and was known for being in and winning brutal fights inside and outside of school, but he pushed Bonnibel towards the ground and lunged towards her anyways. "Why you little bit-" He yelled before he felt a painful force against the side of his rib cage. Ash dropped to his knees and held onto his rib cage with both hands and looked up at Marceline who was now smirking at him. "Rule one about fighting, never leave a sensitive area open around your body that has easy access to be either punched or kicked. I thought you would at least know that, but then again you are pretty pathetic and stupid. So you're welcome." Marceline laughed as she helped Bonnie from the ground. "What on earth is going on here?!" a loud voice screamed as it made its way towards the small group of people involved in the fight. All three students turned their heads towards the voice and rushed to their feet. The students around the small group of troublemakers quickly dispersed and left the small group to be dealt with. "Ms. Abadeer, Ms. Bubblegum, Mr. Humano, and Mr. Coles. Care to explain why you're causing a huge commotion on school grounds?" the man spoke. "Mr. Lich. I can explain, you see Marceline and I were walking to second period class when we heard Finn being harassed by there." Bubblegum said rolling her eyes as she said Ash's name. nodded his head for her to continue. "And w-"
"And we were wanting to help Finn out because this dick doesn't know how to pick on kids his own size." Marceline cut in. "Ms. Marceline please watch your language. I know you have a history of foul language, but please try to restrain from using it around adults." Mr. Lich said. Marceline grinned and turned her head to Finn. "You good?" She asked. "S'all good here bro. You? Oh and Princess too?" Both girls smiled and nodded their head. "Well what about me?! That bit- girl messed up my rib cage! How am I supposed to play tonight's game like this?!" Ash yelled. "Maybe you should have thought about picking with the wrong kid before you beat him up." Bubblegum said walking away. "Ah ah ah. Wait a second here. Before you get to class, and Ms. Bubblegum you both have detention for two days. Mr. Coles you are suspended for three days. Ms. Abadeer, you stay here I need to speak with you. The rest of you are dismissed!" Mr. Lich sternly said. Bubblegum and Finn walked away, but Bubblegum looked back at Marceline with a worried look. Marceline nodded her head and smiled as a reply, and Ash stood up and limped to his next class while flipping the bird at Marceline. She smirked and blew him an air kiss. He growled and continued to limp away. With the rest of the group gone and out of sight motioned for Marceline to follow him to his office.
-(Office)-
"Now , do you know the reason why I wished to speak to you alone?" Mr. Lich asked.
"Not a clue."
"Are you not worried at the least?"
"Not really. You didn't give me detention, iss or suspension. What else would I be worried for?" she asked. "Well, from what I hear you and your brother are musically talented I presume?" he smiled. "Uhhh… yeah? You could say so. Not really. Why? Is there something wrong?" Marceline asked suspiciously. grinned.
-(Lunch)-
"Marceline wasn't in 4th period. I wonder what happened after we left." Finn said sadly.
"Don't sweat it bro. Knowing my sis she probably just pissed Lich off and ran off somewhere for the rest of the day." Marshall laughed. "Well, she does have a tendency to do that a lot." Lady cut in. "But it isn't like her to just leave without telling one of us about her whereabouts." Bonnibel shook her head in confusion. "Bros. Chillax. Marcy is probably chilling out at her usual spot on the roof. We all know how much she loves her private time in her favorite spot." Jake smirked. While all the friends were questioning each other and figuring out where their mischievous friend had gone to Marceline was sitting in a classroom that was free that period writing down lyrics for a song that Mr. Lich had asked her to write for him for his niece. "Uncle has to go away for a while but,-" Marceline put her pencil in her mouth and leaned back in her chair. Frustrated with her mind, Marceline decided that she had used her brain too much for the day and called it quits for now. "Now to find those idiots…" Marceline muttered. Finally making to the lunch room, Marceline approached her friends with her infamous smirks and sat down next to Bonnibel. "Dude! Where have you been? I was starting to think you ran off back home!" Marshall cried. "Yeah man! Bonnie was like flipping out and stuff. She was mad worried." Finn laughed. Bonnibel blushed deeply as Finn finished his statement. It's not like she was really worried or anything, or was she? No way. Marceline is old enough to take care of herself now. She doesn't need her to watch over her as if she was Bonnibel's own child. "Please ignore them Marceline. Now would you care to inform us about your whereabouts?" Bubba asked. Tsk. Marceline couldn't tell them about what Mr. Lich had proposed to her as a punishment because she didn't really see it as a punishment, but it's definitely something she has to tell Marshall about due to the fact that Mr. Lich had asked her to see if Marshall could be a part of his little plan. "Chill guys. I was just relaxing for a bit. Rough day and all right?" She glared specifically at Finn, who hung his head low. "Don't sweat it bro. I'm sure we'll all relax next period. Last period, and easiest!" Marceline cheered. Finn quickly brought his head up with the biggest smile, stood up and fist pumped. The friends laughed at the young boy's actions and all continued to chat and eat. The lunch bell rang and the group of friends stood up to head towards their next class, leaving their trays behind for the janitors to clean up later. While leaving the cafeteria Marceline felt a tug on her shirt and slightly looked back to see Bonnibel gripping her shirt and looking towards another direction. Confused, Marceline looked in the direction that Bonnibel was looking at. She chuckled and turned around to hug Bonnibel, who was shocked at first. "Don't worry Bon. It's just a little cloudy and dark, It's nothing alright? I'm here." She smiled at her scared friend. Bonnibel loosened her grip on the raven haired girl's shirt but never let go and continued to walk with her to their last class. Finally making it their last class Marceline and Bonnibel walked in to see all their friends sitting at their desks, Thankful that they all had one class together this year.
"So, you all heading towards Pep's bar after school today?" Marceline asked
"Meh. Not sure Jake and I have a date planned tonight." Lady replied
"Not like I have a choice" Marshall sighed and flopped his feet on the desk.
"I'm sure Lady and I could have a good time at the bar tonight with you all." Jake smiled almost pleading that Lady would say yes.
"You know I'm done dudes." Finn said pounding his chest.
"Well I assume my sister is going with you tonight Marceline, and I have finished all my work last period, so I don't see why not." Gumball sweetly smiled.
"Alright then. It's settled. We all meet at Marceline's place tonight at 7 and we'll take separate cars." Bonnibel smiled as she hugged her best friends neck. Marceline blushed at the close contact but kept her cool. "Yeah that sounds good." Marceline grinned. Marshall took notice at his sister's reaction towards Bubblegum's hug and smirked. What a perfect opportunity to mess with his sister, he thought. "Hey Princess. Could you come here for a bit?" Marshall asked as he set his feet off his desk. Bonnibel just shrugged, let go of Marceline and walked towards the other twin. The other friends stared at Marceline who just stood there with an aggravated face. As they kept looking back and forth, They watched Marshall talk to Bubblegum and putting an arm around her shoulder and leaning in close to her ear to tell her something, and then watched Marceline huff and stuffed her hand in her pocket and kicked her seat to sit down.
"Bro. You thinking what I'm thinking?" Jake whispered into his younger brother's ear.
"Don't even think about it." Lady frowned. Her boyfriend Jake was not the most mature person, but that's why she fell for him in the first place. She was always attached to Jake because of his messy light brown hair that reminded her of a dog and his sense of style. "Dude, Marcy looks mad. I wouldn't try anything. You saw what she did to Ash today!" Finn cried. So the friends continued to watch their friend's actions and decided that it was best to not question or try anything. "Alright class! Take your seats so I can take roll! Then you can do whatever you want. Draw, write notes, play on your phones, I don't care. Just don't bother me." The teacher said as she sat at her desk preparing to take roll. After taking roll the students just continued to lounge around. Marceline was not having a good day anymore, Marshall had managed to piss her off twice today and she didn't want to go off on him at school, so she decided to walk out and relax outside of class for a bit. Bubblegum who was not the very least interested in what Marshall was trying to do, took notice of her friend leaving the classroom and apologized for interrupting Marshall's story and excused herself to walk towards Marceline. Once outside of the class, Marceline thought she was finally at ease until she heard the class door open and close. Looking to her left Marceline saw Bubblegum standing there with a worried look and shrugged it off. "Marceline. What's wrong? Just a few minutes ago you were all ray and sunshine, and now you're just all grumpy and mean." Bonnibel said as she put a hand on Marceline's shoulder. Marcy looked at the hand and turned her head to stare off into the other direction, saying nothing. "Marcy." Bonnibel said, but this time moving her hand to cup the other girl's right cheek to turn her face to look at her. Marceline was now on the verge of tears. She was so frustrated with everything and everyone. She knew that Marshall liked to joke around, but she also knew that he didn't know his limits when it came to her. Bonnibel stared at the other girl for what seemed like hours and finally smiled. She used both of her thumbs to wipe the tiny tears falling from Marceline's eyes and hugged her. "Marcy. Why are you crying? It's not very punk rock of you to cry out of nowhere you know?" Bubblegum giggled as she held the older girl close to her. The older girl hugged her friend back and laughed. "I don't know Bon. I guess I'm so frustrated that it's making me all crazy in the head." She said as she put her hand on Bonnibel's head and started playing with her hair. Thunk. Bubblegum heard a noise and looked off to the distance to see Mr. Lich walking towards them, well more like limping. He looked like he was struggling to walk straight because he kept almost falling over. Thump. Bubblegum kept watching Mr. Lich struggle to walk straight and noticed Marceline had not noticed the noises. Thunk. This time Marceline heard the thunk and slowly gathered herself from her hug with Bonnibel and blushed as she saw Bonnibel staring at her. "Marceline. I think there is something wrong with Mr. Lich. He's walking all weird and stuff." Bonnie said sounding scared. Marceline turned around and saw what Bonnie was talking about. Mr. Lich was limping with his mouth open and sounded like he was groaning in pain. "Go tell teach. I'll go check up on him." Marceline commanded. Bubblegum nodded her head and walked inside the classroom. Marcy then ran up close enough to Mr. Lich to realize that he had lost his fancy posture and was now bleeding from his neck. "Whoa! Mr. Lich! You need to sit down so you won't mess up your wound." Marceline laughed. He said nothing and groaned. "Mr. Lich?" she said as she stopped walking. Mr. Lich started speaking gibberish and ran towards Marceline with his arms out. Marceline then realized that something was wrong and turned to run away until she was collided with another body. "Hey! Watch it chum- Oh. It's you. Watch where you're going Abadeer, or next time you'll be collided with my fist." Ash said looking away. She stood up and pushed him away and ran towards her class where all her friends were at. "What's up with her?" He question, but then shrugged it off. Ash turned to walk to his destination but was stopped by Mr. Lich. "Mr. Lich, dude what's up with you? Oh shit! What happened to your neck?!" Ash asked sounding panicked. Just as Marceline was about to enter the classroom she heard a loud scream from down the hall and turned to look and saw that Mr. Lich bit a chunk of Ash's neck off. She then thought about running away from school and turned to run to the other side of the hallway and noticed that there were more of the school's faculty who were in the same condition of Mr. Lich. Some were eating each other or eating fellow students who were hanging around before class. Wide eyed, Marceline quickly ran into the classroom, slammed the door shut, and slumped down in front of it. "Abadeer! What's the meaning of you slamming my door in the middle of class! Explain yourself now!" Ms. Pent yelled. "Block the door now! Quick Finn! Grab all the chairs and desks and build a baracade in front of the door!" Marceline yelled. The group of friends stood up and ran towards Marceline and questioned her. "Marcy what's up? Why are you panicked?! Calm down and tell us what's wrong!" they all said.
"Dude! Mr. Lich just bit a fucking chunk of Ash's neck off and started to come towards me! Now isn't the time for questions! Just block the door!" Marceline pleaded. "Marceline. You're too old for pranks. It's time that you stop, now go sit down and calm down. I'll check out this whole "story" you're telling to see if it's true." Ms. Pent said as she walked towards the door. Marceline opened her arms to block the entrance. "No Mrs. Pent! You can't! You'll get hurt too! Please!" Marceline pleaded. Mrs. Pent just scoffed and glared at Marceline, who slowly moved out of the way so her teacher could see for herself what she had saw. Once outside all the students watched as their teacher stood there with her arms frozen at her sides. She remained there staring wildly at the scene in front of her. Marceline was right. There they were, all her colleagues, and even close friends, eating each other… devouring each other. The other students could not see what was going on, and were too scared to even check. What felt like hours, Mrs. Pent finally moved to run back into the classroom, but was pulled harshly back into the hallway by a big bulky man with a purple dress shirt and purple shoes on. "Honey! It's me! You have to get out of here! Everyone is going crazy and eati-" Mrs. Pent yelled before she was cut off by her screaming in pain. Mr. Pent had just plunged his fist through her stomach and moved his hand around and ripped out her heart. He soon dropped her body and squatted to the ground and began eating her heart. All the students were speechless at what they just saw, they all stood there, frozen, unsure of what to do. Marceline who had finally snapped out of it grabbed the nearest object and whacked Mr. Pent to the head and pushed him far from the door so she could close it, but Ms. Pent's now lifeless body remained in the door way. "Someone help me move her body!" Marceline commanded. Still, Nobody moved. "Bonnie?! Please!" She pleaded again. Bonnibel just stood there with her eyes wide open staring at her teacher's body. She was soon brought out of her shock when she felt someone rush past her. She saw that it was Finn who had rushed past her to help Marceline with the body. Everyone still stood there unsure of what to do and still shocked. Once Finn and Marceline pushed the body out of the door they started to pull chairs and desks to block the door so the school's faculty won't get in. While doing so the other students finally came to their senses and started yelling and screaming. "Oh my glob! What's going on?! What do we do?! Help!" some students yelled. Others either started crying or took out their phones and started calling police. "Marceline. What's going on?!" Marshall asked not caring if he sounded scared.
" I don't know, but whatever it is… We have to find a way to get all of us out here without being eaten." Marceline replied with her head down.
