Oh my glob, you're actually here at the second chapter! Thanks so much for reading my fanfic and for the reviews. I hope you liked it so far, if you didn't I'm sorry.

I wrote this while my dog was staring at me, just sharing, it sort of crept me out. I stayed up late last night for this; some ideas just slip away if you put them off.

Anyways, on with the story.

Chapter 2: Train Wreck

The people from the land of Ooo were already in the train on their way to the second dimension. Most were already peering out their windows as the train approached the land to see what it was like. In their eyes, it didn't look like much because it was so similar to their own land that they could've sworn that they hadn't left at all. The rest of the way they just wondered about how the people would be. Would they be like their own as well, just like the similarity of their lands? Most hoped that they would get along fairly well, while some didn't give a damn about meeting their co-eds.

Meanwhile, a lot of people were already in a buzz at the Land of Aaa. Many got ready early, excited for the trip and attending the new school. Some others were still in their beds, stuff ready but their bodies too lazy to get up early.

Marshall Lee was still sleeping in his cave house that morning, enjoying some time of sleep before going to the Candy Kingdom for the trip. He was happily dreaming away when a certain disturbance caught his attention making him grumble.

Marshall Lee woke up to his cell phone ringing on the table beside his bed. He opened his eyes and yawned, wondering who could be calling this early in the morning. He stayed awake past midnight the night before so he still didn't want to get out of bed, or hovering above it was still dark outside when he looked toward the window that was facing the opening of the cave.

The cell phone was still ringing, much to Marshall's annoyance. He slowly got up and picked up the phone to see who was calling. There was a picture of a pink haired boy flashing on the display. He grunted as he pressed that green button.

"What do you want Gumwad? It's five in the morning for glob's sake."

"Good morning to you too, Marshall, I just wanted to make sure that you weren't late for out departure time at the train station." Prince Gumball said through the other line.

"Oh yeah, for that program thing of yours, right? What time do we meet there again?"

"Later at 6:15, but be here before then, alright? Some of the students from the other dimension will already be on the train by then. We'll be riding with them in a different part of the train. We shouldn't keep them waiting since they must've woken up earlier. Are your things ready?"

"Yeah, yeah, I won't be late. My things are good to go; Fionna and Cake came by to help me fix them last night. They told me I wouldn't pack until the last minute, as if. Remind me as to why I'm coming along again?" Marshall yawned as he looked out to see that the sun was about to rise.

"You probably would have waited until the last minute so I sent Fionna and Cake over to help you out. As to why you're coming, you know you wouldn't want to spend most of the year alone. Everyone's going."

"All right, besides, I might actually meet some new girls. That would be awesome, man." Marshall laughed.

"Idiot, you are. Oh glob, I didn't realize what time it was. You should get going, aren't you supposed to come by Fionna and Cake's place before you come over here?" Bubba fussed.

"How do you know that? Well, whatever, I need to get going. See you." Marshall said as he put down the phone.

He took a quick shower and got dressed for the day. He put on his red plaid shirt and simple jeans. He slung his bass over his shoulder and grabbed his hiking bag, he didn't really want to bring a lot of bags so he just picked his biggest one. It was really heavy but the vampire king could handle it. Cake had packed a bunch of clothes that Marshall would never wear in a million years. Marshall didn't actually have enough time to fix his things the way Fionna and Cake did so he just threw everything else he thought he needed in his bag.

He was humming a tune while he was floating towards the tree fort. He brought out his umbrella as the sun was coming up higher now. When it came into view he stopped to check the time. It was already half past five. He floated up to the window to see Cake talking to Fionna who was gathering up their bags. She held only her usual backpack and an extra bag, she tossed a leather sack to Cake who noticed Marshall out the window.

"Marshall Lee! Oh, you're right on time, boy. Let's get going, we shouldn't keep the others waiting you know?" said Cake as she got outside through the window and grew larger.

"Yo, dude. Glad you weren't late." Fionna said as she was climbing onto Cake's back with their bags in tow.

Marshall floated over to Fionna and stuck out his tongue. "That's it? No 'good morning, Marshall' or a 'what's up' or anything? That is no way to be talking to the vampire king, sweetheart."

"Don't you sweet talk me, you lumping butt. We only have fifteen minutes until the train arrives." Fionna replied angrily while punching Marshall on his right arm.

"Ouch, man. Although you look like a girl I feel like you have an angry Mexican wrestler dude inside of you." He laughed although Cake was glaring at him through slits for eyes.

"Boy, stop your sassing and let's get a move on. We are going to get late and if we miss the train, I'mma whoop your sorry little ass there, hon." Cake said as she moved ahead in long strides towards the Land of Aaa's candy kingdom.

It was mostly a plain ride along the way, Cake was singing away while Fionna was talking to Marshall about how excited she was to attend the program and the trip to the mysterious land where the school was. She was psyched, especially about meeting new people and learning about other stuff. On the other hand, while Marshall was listening to Fionna and smiling along, it was evident that he wasn't as enthusiastic as she was about the trip or the program.

His eyes were glazed over and he seemed to be thinking about something else. Fionna didn't notice this as she stopped talking. She just sat down and imagined all the opportunities and experiences the program would offer. Marshall was thinking about how he would survive months of learning stuff. See, although he had heard about school a few centuries ago, he never really bothered to look into what it was all about. He just thought it would be sitting in a room all day while someone rambles on about stuff that they would take a test on later.

"We're here y'all! Gumball is calling us over there near the third part of the train, we better hurry," said Cake as they made their way toward where the prince was.

"You're just on time! I thought you wouldn't make it." Gumball said as they made their way towards an entrance into the train with Lord Monochromicorn leading them.

Most of the others seemed to have gotten inside the train and into their respective compartments already. Bubba beckoned them into their own compartments each. They got it one by one as Marshall floated lazily at the back of the group.

"Mo-Chro and I will be in this compartment," said Gumball as he pointed to the one in front to the left. "Fionna and Cake will be in the one behind ours, and Marshall, you'll take the one opposite mine."

"Sweet, I get a compartment all to myself? Man, that's awesome pinky. Marshall Lee's gonna chill for the whole ride." Marshall floated lying down towards his compartment, grinning.

"No such luck, Marshall. Lumpy Space Prince is already inside sleeping. He got here earlier and wanted to crash." Bubba laughed as he saw the vampire king's face fall and gradually change into utter disbelief.

"What the glob, I don't want to spend the rest of the trip with his royal pain!"

"Marshall, I think there's a snack bar at the second part of the train. I saw some snacks being loaded in there a while ago. Maybe you can go there when Lumpy Space Prince wakes up." Fionna said as she shut the door to her compartment after Cake entered with their luggage.

"Well, there you go Marsh. See you in a bit, then. Enjoy." Bubba said, grinning as he shut his own compartment closed.

"Uurgh," Marshall grunted as he floated inside his compartment to find LSP asleep on a seat on the left side of the small space. The curtains were closed but there was a warm light inside. He sat on the space opposite to where LSP was sleeping and got settled as he felt the train shudder.

He felt a rise of altitude as some time passed. It wasn't all that surprising to him as he saw wings tucked in the sides of the train as they walked past it earlier. He put his stuff up on the shelves close to the ceiling of the compartment, except for his axe bass which he kept close on the seat beside him.

It was after some time Lumpy Space Prince started to wake up and there was an announcement played throughout the train.

"Good morning passengers from the Lands of Ooo and Aaa. This is your conductor speaking. We hope you have been having a pleasant ride so far and I am only here to disturb your peaceful ride to announce that we are halfway to our destination. For your convenience, there is a snack bar in the middle of the train for those who may have missed breakfast or are simply hungry. Enjoy your trip and thank you for your cooperation."

"Oh my glob, Marshall, what are you doing here, man? This is, like, my compartment." Lumpy Space Prince mumbled while he was still half asleep.

"Not my fault, dude. Prince Gumball over there said we were going to share for the rest of the trip." Marshall explained lazily, he wasn't in the mood to talk to the so called 'royal pain.'

"Oh, whatever, we can totally pass the time by talking about stuff! Like, yesterday, before I got ready packing my stuff, Britt and -."

"Yeah that's great, totally. Look, I'm going to the sack bar to eat and whatever, so just stay here okay?" Marshall said as he got up and left the compartment.

"Marshall, don't you dare leave me alone in this compartment! Loneliness does not lumping suit me, Marshall! Marshall Lee!" Lumpy Space Prince yelled after Marshall, but to no avail.

Meanwhile in the Land of Ooo's part of the train, Marceline was covering her ears and trying to hum a song trying to tune out Lumpy Space Princess' endless rant about Melissa and her x-boyfriend, Brad. As LSP droned on, Marceline put her head out and to see Princess Bubblegum laughing by her open compartment door.

"Help me, I can't take anymore of this!" Marceline whispered as Princess Bubblegum walked up to their compartment.

"I'm going to the middle part of the train to eat. You haven't had any breakfast yet, right? You should come along too, LSP." Princess Bubblegum said to the other two.

"No, lumping way, Bubblegum. I'm totally stuffed with all the sandwiches I ate earlier, I might explode and cast my fabulous lumpiness all over the place!" Lumpy Space Princess crossed her arms and turned away, a bit too dramatically.

"Sure, let's go, I feel my gut twisting up already." Marceline sighed as she stood up and left the compartment with Bonnibel, at least she could get away from the ear torture for some time.

Since they were at the front of the train, the duo passed quite a number of compartments along the way. They saw and greeted some of their other friends who happened to be attending the program as well. They dodged a flame that shot through a compartment door as they were halfway through. It sounded like a girl was yelling at someone from what they heard. They just ignored it and talked the rest of the way to the snack bar.

"I wonder what school will be like once we get there, I heard rumours of this great class that will be admitting highly qualified students regarding science! I hope we can make friends with those other people from the Land of Aaa as well, it would be an excellent opportunity to forge inter-dimensional bonds." Bubblegum jumped up and down excitedly.

"Don't try and start making me hate the stupid program already, ya brain lord. And if you mean making friends, I really don't care as much. I just hope they'll have an awesome music class or whatever, that would be great." Marceline let her thoughts wander away as they approached their destination.

As they entered the snack bar, Marceline occupied an empty table. She took the seats to the back of a booth where a boy was eating alone. PB headed on to go get some food. There weren't really many people yet since most would have already eaten their breakfast or were otherwise asleep. Only some people from both of the lands were there silently eating.

Marceline was still staring at the clear table as Bubblegum came back from the snack bar with a tray of spaghetti and some iced tea. PB set it down gently and sat opposite Marceline looking at her questioningly.

"I thought you were hungry, why won't you go and get some food already instead of sitting there like a complete loner?"

"Oh yeah, food, I'll be right back." Marcy said as she got up and bumped into the boy who was going back to the snack bar to get second helpings.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going!" they said in unison as they both fell on the floor while the remains of the boy's food spilled onto Marceline.

"Glob, I'm sorry, I didn't realize," said the boy, seeing the food he spilled onto Marceline, "you should've watched where you were going before you stood up, you know? You look like a wreck!" he offered a hand but Marceline just slapped it away.

Bubblegum just stared at the display and didn't know what to do as Marceline got up and tried to get the food out of her face and eyes.

"What the lumping hell, man? You apologize and then say that?" she said as she tried to remove most of the red stuff that got on her shirt.

"I was trying to help, but if you want to go take it that way then go right ahead! I've lost my appetite." He said as he floated away, hands up in mock surrender.

Marceline grunted and stared after the boy with slits for eyes. She didn't see him all that clearly through all the gunk and her hair blocking her sight.

"Marceline, oh my goodness, maybe we should just go get your food and you can eat in the cabin with me and Lady Rainicorn. It would probably be for the best."

"Yeah, whatever, let's get going. That guy is so full of himself and the school year hasn't even fucking officially started yet." Marceline floated to the snack bar to get food while PB brought her tray along to pack it for to go.

'Who the hell does that guy think he is?' Marceline thought as she and Princess Bubblegum walked back to the compartments.

A/N: Hey guys! You've reached the end of the second chapter and to be honest, I didn't think I would be able to make it. I'm kind of busy applying for colleges and stuff and I'm reading a new book my mom got for me, thank you! All of my friend are also bugging me about this wattpad thing. Heh, I'd rather stay on fanfiction.

I hoped you liked it! The next chapter will star showing the characters actually meeting now.

Who guessed the identity of the passenger Princess Bubblegum and Marceline passed along the way to the snack bar? You can get to choose the first pairing that'll start next chapter! No really deep Marcelee things yet though. I want them to get to know each other well before rushing into stuff, okay?

Also, can anyone please suggest a gender swap name for Brad and Melissa? I'm having a hard time there.

This is getting kind of long so, to the people who reviewed:
