A/N: Hope you guys are enjoying the chapter! Here's the next to enjoy! Thanks for reading. Also after watching Bad Little Boy (it was leaked :D) I guess B-MA is still B-MO so... that has changed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Disclaimer: I do not own Middle by Jimmy Eat World, you should check them out, they're a good band if you ask me.
His Voice
I looked at the clock for the hundredth time, for some odd reason, I was a bit excited. I didn't know why though, I just felt it. LSP had called earlier saying to come an hour early so we could get good seats and to wear clothes that would fit a rock concert. When I told him I had nothing like that, he had gotten annoyed and huffed 'whatevs' or something like that.
7:30
That was good enough of a time to head out right? It usually takes half an hour to walk to where the concerts are held. I was kinda regretting not taking Cake's offer but staying at the Candy Kingdom for that long would have been boring and terrible.
Getting up, I grabbed my black jacket off of the coat rack. Putting it on I smiled at B-MO, "I'm leaving now. I'll see you later tonight."
The small robot returned the smile, "do you want some spaghetti when you come home?"
I nodded, that would be great. "Bye."
B-MO waved goodbye as I closed the door behind me.
It was chilly and the sun was setting. Gladfully, there was enough light to make my way. unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before the sun would vanish and the beautiful full moon would replace it. Pulling my jacket closer to my skin, I quickened my pace.
As I thought, a little more than 30 minutes later, I arrived to see an annoyed LSP. When was he not annoyed? When he noticed me, a smile came to his lips.
"Fionna! Over here!" He called waving a hand in the air. He was sitting in a chair and there was an empty one right next to him.
Walking over, I sat next to him and smiled, "sorry I was kinda late. What did I miss?" I looked around to see the stage already ready, a drum set, a microphone and a crimson red guitar were pretty much all on it though. Also the amps but those were against the stage so would that count? I shrugged to myself. There also were a lot of people here already so it was loud due to chatting amongst the candy people.
"Okay so don't turn around," LSP warned but before he could explain anymore, I turned and didn't like what I saw.
A chill ran down my spine and I went pale, there sat Gumball and his little girlfriend. He was playing with the lollipop girls hair and smiling. I turned back and glared at the stage, I don't think I can stay here for an hour waiting while hearing that lollipop giggle as Gumball sweet talked her.
"I warned you," LSP said shaking his head before receiving a death glare. "Look, we have 50 minutes left until this thing starts, just talk to me or something. Let's gossip! I head Ms. Pig lost a good ten pounds after eating Tree Trunks pies for a month straight! Maybe I should try that..."
I shook my head at LSP and his nonsense. He continued talking about stupid things but he was right, it did make time pass.
"What's taking so looong?" A groan came out behind me.
"Calm down Lolly, just a few minutes left." Gumball said smiling, trying to calm down his obnoxious girlfriend causing me to roll my eyes.
"But don't you know the singer guy? Cant you just tell him to perform now?" She asked with a stupid annoying tone that caused me want to place my fist to her face. I don't why but it really annoyed me.
LSP snickered when noticing my face, "you look like your constipated..." I punched him. "Glob Fionna! Dont mess with the merchandise! Your going to affect my chance to get a lumping girlfriend!" He groaned rubbing his cheek.
I laughed, "what?" I giggled, "merchandise? Does that mean you sell yourself off?"
The purple cloud went darker, "F-Fionna!"
The stage light flickered and all of our attention went that way, Peppermint Maid walked onto the stage with her little microphone. "Welcome to tonight's concert, I hope you all enjoy yourselves and lets all say hello to Marshall Lee and his Ghostly Drummer friend, Felix!" She sang excitedly.
I yawned while others cheered, I was tired. I usually went to bed around this time so what did you expect.
Everyone went silent before a guy and a ghost floated onto stage. Then they began screaming once again.
"Oh my glob Fionna! Wasnt I right? Look at him!" LSP yelled excitedly.
I looked at him, I felt a light heat on my cheeks. I shook my head, why was I feeling like this? I watched silently as he floated over to the guitar and picked it up. Then he floated over to the microphone. "What's up you guys?" The crowd screamed louder. "Well I'm Marshall Lee the Vampire King and this is my friend Felix." He explained while pointing to the ghost behind the drum set.
LSP grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight, I looked at him and rolled my eyes. He was too much into this.
"Well, I wrote this song a little bit ago and well, I think you'll enjoy it." He said smirking before strumming his guitar. Then Felix the Ghost hit his drum sticks against the drum. "Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on. Just try your best. Try everything you can. And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away."
I felt my heartbeat quicken and I squeezed LSP's hand to his surprise. This guys voice... it was so soothing. Just listening to it, makes me want to smile again...
Felix hit the drums harder with a smirk, Marshall also had a smirk on his face. "It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine. Everything, everything will be all right, all right. Hey, you know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own. So don't buy in. Live right now. Yeah, just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough. For someone else."
I froze when I noticed his eyes make contact with mine, chills ran through my body and for the first time that night, I began screaming with everyone else in the crown. He smiled.
"It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine. Everything, everything will be all right, all right. It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine. Everything, everything will be all right, all right." He sang with some of the crowd singing along with him.
My heat continued to beat faster, each word he sang took my breath away. I've never felt this way before, especially about some guy I've never even met before!
"Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out. Or looked down on. Just do your best. Do everything you can. And don't you worry what their bitter hearts. Are gonna say. It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine. Everything, everything will be all right, all right."
I couldnt help but giggle when the Vampire King danced around having a good time just entertaining us. What would he be if he'd be like alone? Or if I was with him... I shook my head and LSP looked at me confused.
"What's wrong?" LSP called over the screaming girls behind us and Marshall Lee singing his song.
"N-Nothing! I stuttered embarrassed.
"It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine. Everything, everything will be all right." Marshall sang before it went quiet, not even a second passed before everyone literally screamed, including me.
I shook slightly, from first coming here and feeling depressed by the fact the Gumball and Lolly were here and near us to right now, I feel as if my troubles have just lifted off my shoulders.
"Thank you for coming everyone, I'm here all week at the same time. I hope to see you all again tomorrow!" Marshall called smiling before leaving the stage with Felix.
LSP grabbed my arm and pulled my up, "let's go meet them back stage!" He said excited.
I blushed, "n-no way LSP! I don't think we can do that!" But I was too late, he was already pushing through people quickly and pulling me along. Once behind the curtains, I saw him. He was floating casually and laughing about something unknown.
"Marshall Lee!" LSP yelled smiling, I wanted to hit him but I was already busy trying to calm my state of mind. It confused me to the max! Why was I feeling this! He's just some teenager for glob's sake! The argument inside of my head was interrupted by Marshall floating up to me.
"Oh hey, LSP right?" He asked casually.
The Purple cloud bit his lip to hide his squeal, if it weren't for that moustache, I would have thought LSP was a girl. Maybe it's a cover up...
"Yeah! This is my friend Fionna." He explained pointing at me.
Marshall smiled and held his hand out, I placed mine in his hesitantly. "Pleasure to meet you Fionna."
My eyes widened as he kissed my hand and my face went completely red, who in the world was this guy!
I noticed Marshall snicker and then laughed hard, "look at your face! It's as red as an apple!" He held his sides and LSP watched the two of us with a sparkle in his eye. That was the look that he gave when he wanted to try to make something happen.
"Yo Marshall, we need to go, the suns going to rise in a few hours, let's go party like you promised." Felix called.
Marshall turned and nodded, "sure, just give me a minute." Turning back our way, he gave a fanged smile, "so are you both coming tomorrow?"
LSP nodded, "of course! Why wouldn't we? You are like.. lumping amazing!"
I nodded slowly, "yeah..."
He laughed and turned but stopped, "oh and Fionna?"
I swallowed nervously, "yes?"
"Tomorrow, don't sit and look bored and angry through half of my song please, I thought you hated it." He said smirking.
"Marshall!" Felix called again.
Marshall turned and frowned, "I'm coming dude just give me a second Glob! Bye you guys." He called floating away.
He noticed, so he really was looking at me. I wasnt imagining it, chills ran down my body for the hundredth time that night.
I couldn't wait til tomorrow.
