When the bell rang to indicate lunch was over, Fionna and Marshall exchanged their goodbyes and Fionna felt really disappointed because she would be alone in the next few classes as she haven't made any other friends yet. Fionna checked her next class, it read 'Music'. 'At least Music is one of the few subjects that I might like.' Fionna thought as she walked into the class. But to her surprise, the blonde was greeted by a familiar raven haired boy at the back corner of the class. Fionna's face instantly brightened up as she quickly made her way to him. He had his face buried into his song book, trying to think of a new song he could write.

"Marshall!" The raven haired boy looked up and gave her a little wave.

"Missed me huh? Already can't resist my charm ey?" He smirked at her and she gave him a playful shove.

"Shut up, I don't even know anyone else from this class anyway" She replied to him as she took the empty seat beside him. After a while, students began to come into the room and finally the teacher came in.

"Hello class, I think you all would know that we have a new student in our class. Her name is Fionna and I hope you make her feel welcomed here and I'm Mr Richard. " The teacher named Mr Richard said.

"For this year's exam would be based on a group project that you guys have to do with a partner, you guys would partner up with the people beside you." Fionna saw that since Marshall was seated next to a corner so she would partner up with him and because the next person on her left already had their partner, not that she minded anyway.

"This year's exam would be tested on mostly bass guitar"

'Shoot, I don't really know how to play the bass guitar' Fionna frowned to herself but didn't talk about it. Fionna had her elbow on the table with her palm to support her chin. The rest of the class was a blur and time passed by pretty quickly. When class ended, Fionna waited for everyone to get out of class and would get out last. When Fionna stood up to leave, she looked over at Marshall as he was doing the same thing as her by waiting for the rest of the class to go out first.

"Hey Marshall, are you free to meet up someday? I think we should meet up to discuss about our project" the blonde asked. Marshall looked at her and did not reply her for a moment, indicating that he was checking if he was free.

"Sure. Meet me later at around 5pm at the park that's beside our school." With that, Marshall stood up and left the class without waiting for Fionna's answer. Fionna looked at her watch and realised she only had a few minutes to rush to her next and final class for the day, Chemistry. Fionna walked to her Chemistry class and took an empty seat near the back. When Fionna was taking out her pencil case and Chemistry book, she didn't notice the girl taking the seat beside her.

"Hi there, are you new? I haven't seen you here before." Fionna turned to see a pink haired girl with a huge friendly smile. She was wearing a pink hoodie with a pair of shorts.

"I just recently moved and transferred to this school." Fionna returned the smile.

"By the way my name is Bonnibel." She placed her hand in front of her.

"Fionna" the blonde took her hand and shook it. Throughout class, Bonnibel was mostly talking about her recent Chemistry experiments, she seemed really enthusiastic about them so not to be rude, Fionna would just listen and nod her head once a while. When class ended, Fionna quickly packed her things and got ready to get out of class. She really wanted to go home. Before Fionna could exit the class, Bonnibel stopped her.

"Fionna! We should hang out sometime!" She gave Fionna a really big smile. Bonnibel seemed to do that a lot.

"Sure"

"See you tomorrow or something!" Bonnibel said as she walked off. Fionna grinned and admired Bonnibel's cheerfulness, it was really cute to her. Fionna made her way to her locker to place her books and closed the locker. Fionna suddenly remembered she had to meet Marshall at 5. She looked at her watch, '3.45pm'. She had to quickly get home and get ready to meet Marshall. The blonde quickly made her way to her school bus and boarded the bus. When she was on the bus, there was only one empty seat left. She made her way to it and saw a guy with pink hair that resembled Bonnibel was seated beside the empty seat. He was wearing a pink shirt with long black jeans. He had his ear piece in his ears and wasn't looking at Fionna's direction. To Fionna, he looked really familiar.

"Are you related to Bonnibel in any way?" The blonde questioned. The pink haired boy looked away from the window and looked at Fionna questioningly and removed his ear buds.

"Why actually yes, I'm her brother" He stated and smiled at her. Fionna wasn't surprised at all.

"What gave it away? The hair or the pink clothes?" He said as he chuckled softly.

"Both"

"May I ask, what is your name? I've not seen you around."

"Fionna."

"That's a pretty name, can't say the same for myself though. My name is Bubba." Fionna smiled at him. The rest of the ride they mostly sat in comfortable silence or talked about themselves a bit. When it was Fionna's stop she waved to Bubba and hopped off the bus. She quickly made her way home. She was greeted by Cake.

'Hey BabyCakes! How was your first day?" Cake asked as Fionna walked into her room to place her bag.

"It was okay I guess, I made a few new friends." Fionna replied to Cake from the room.

"Oooh! Tell me who they are!"

"When I come back, because now I have to head out and meet Marshall for our Music project. See you later Cake!"

"Okay, Take care and be careful, girl"

"I will!" Fionna shouted as she walked out of the door. She closed the door and made sure she locked it. Fionna made her way to the park that she first saw Marshall there. When she reached the park, she stopped and looked out for Marshall. She checked her watch and it showed '5.03pm'. 'He should be here by now' she thought as she walked around looking out for the raven haired boy. She finally spotted him under a tree seated on a mat on the grass with the same axe bass that he would always bring along with him. Marshall saw her and waved at her.

"Hey Marsh"

"Hey Fi"

"What's with the nickname?" Fionna asked as she took a seat beside him.

"Well I thought since you gave me a nickname, I would give you one too, and Fi sounds perfect"

"Okay then, that's fair" Fionna unzipped her bag and took out her notebook.

"So how are we gonna do this?" Fionna questioned and looked at him as if he knew what to do.

"Well, Mr Richard said we have to use the bass and we need to write a song."

"One tiny problem though"

"What?"

"I sort of… uh don't know how to play the bass…" Fionna admitted shyly and played with her hands.

"Oh" Marshall thought for a moment.

"How about, I teach you?" Marshall suggested.

"You would?" Fionna looked up and Marshall nodded.

"Sure, Of course I would." Marshall stood up and passed to her his axe bass and moved behind her and sat cross legged behind her and placed his hands over her small hands. At the contact and closeness, Fionna's cheeks had a tint of red in them.

"You just put your hand like this," he said as he guided her hands. "And placed your other hand like this," He moved her other hand and guided her.

"And just strum like this" Fionna managed to play a chord perfectly.

"And there you go" After a while, Fionna managed to at least be able to play the bass better.

"You're getting better at this" He was seated across her, staring at her as she practiced with the bass. She was concentrating hard and had her tongue out. At the sight, it was pretty comical to him and made him chuckle. Fionna saw him staring at her and blushed. After a few hours, the sky started to get darker and Fionna decided she had to go home before Cake nags at her for coming home late.

"Hey Marsh, it's getting late and I need to get home before my sister nags at me. Thanks for today" Fionna smiled as she handed the axe bass back to him.

"No problem." Fionna packed her notebook into her bag. Marshall took his things and stood up, when he was about to leave a voice stopped him.

"Hey, Marsh!"

"Yea-" He was suddenly stopped by a hug from Fionna. He was shocked at first since he wasn't really used to such physical contact but hesitantly hugged back.

"Thanks for teaching me today, it means a lot to me since I always wanted to learn the bass but never got to learn it." Fionna broke the hug and smiled at him.

"Well, see you tomorrow, bye!" she waved at him and started to walk back home.
