Chapter 1:
Fionna p.o.v.
I never really wanted to move... I'm now 18, and going to college. My sister cake is married to Mr. Monochomicorn, and I don't want to crowd. I walked into my newly moved house, looking around. It's a quaint, small, what used to be a mining town about an hour away from Pittsburgh, where I'm going to school. I looked around, fully satisfied that I didn't have to move anything else, and now I could meet my neighbors. I'll start with the pink house across the street. they can't be that bad... I walked out and went across the road, knocking aptly on the door, expecting a nice older lady to answer. I got quite the surprise when A boy decked out in pink converse, pink skinny jeans, a red belt, and a pink and red checkered shirt answered. He had pink eyes, pale skin, and dyed pink hair. He smiled at me.
"Hi! Can I help you?" I'm guessing he's albino... and he obviously likes the color pink...
"Hello, I'm Fionna, your new neighbor. I bought the blue house across the street."
"Wonderful! I was wondering when I would meet you! Come on in, you want some tea?" I nodded politely as I sat down on the pink couch. He shut the door behind me, then ran off into the pink kitchen for a minute before returning with a pink tea set.
"I'm Bartholomew Gumball, but most call me bubba." I smiled and took a sip of my tea, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he picked up cross-stitch.
"So can you tell me anything about my next door neighbor?" Bubba froze, staring at me momentarily.
"Stay away from that boy. He's vindictive, rude, and a hot head, not to mention he would take advantage of you. You are his type... " I glared at him, unable to control myself.
"I'm sorry, but could you please be a little less like my mother?" He looked up at me in surprise, and then my phone went off. "Excuse me, I have to take this call." he nodded, and I answered casually.
"Yea?" I heard someone on the other side ask for Claire. "You have a wrong number. Again. Claire doesn't have this number anymore." I shut the call off, then looked at bubba. "Thank you for having me over, but I have some errands to run. I'll see you later?" He nodded with a smile as he walked me to the door.
"Have a nice day fionna." He looked at my neighbor's house. "Remember what I said... Be careful." I nodded then walked away as he shut the door. I went to the grocery store to get some food. I walked through the isles casually, picking up a few odds and ends, mostly stuff for tacos. I also decided to get some fresh fruits, and when I went to the produce isle, I got the sight of an interesting individual. He had shaggy dark hair, all black clothing, and once he turned to me, I noticed pale skin, red eyes and... he has fangs... okay, vampire much? ... that was rude of me, i shouldn't judge. as I was contemplating that, I had grabbed some bananas, apples, and a mango, and I just grabbed grapes. I went over towards the strawberries where he was and picked up a box. I noticed all the foods in his cart were red. interesting... I smiled at him casually as I left, getting a mildly confused and surprised look from him. After I checked out, I walked outside to see a few other people in front of a black car. There was a pale guy with white hair, a tan guy with fiery hair, and a girl with long red hair. they all watched me as I put everything in my car and drove away. Once I got home, I put all my things away and went into the back yard, fencing for practice. when I finally gave up because it was hours later, and I couldn't see anymore, I went in the house and made tacos, then ate as I contemplated the warning bubba gave me. I don't care what he said... not introducing myself would be rude.
With that in mind I went next-door, and I heard an electric guitar go off as it finished off its last riff. I knocked raptly, only to have the door launched open, and the bronzed boy I saw with the red hair at the store glaring at me.
"What do you want?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I want to introduce myself, since I live next door. You however, seem to be in a bad mood. Should I wait until tomorrow?" He looked at me, mildly surprised for a moment, then I watched him slowly scan me over.
"Come on in." He walked inside, not even looking back to see if I was following. I followed quickly, shutting the door as I passed through it. After going down a flight of steps and around a few twists and turns I found myself in a room with all the people I met in the store, including the enchanting vampire boy from the produce isle.
"Hi. I'm Fionna." The bronze boy titled his head slightly.
"I'm F.P. , the red head girl is my sister, Flamia. The boy with white hair is Ash. in the corner staring at you is Marshall Lee. He's our screamer."
"Cool." I nodded to each of them respectfully, giving Marshall a small smile. He watched my curiously, attempting to figure me out.
We spent a few hours hanging out. Yea,F.P. is a hothead, and a bit of a jerk, and an obvious womanizer... but he was busy jamming out on his guitar, trying to write new material to do much damage. I hung out with Flamia for a bit... She's dating Ash... He's possessive of her, but they're happy so I won't judge.
Where's Marshall?" Ash shrugged.
"Probably outside." I looked over to the door leading out into the backyard, then walked outside.
