Chapter 3: Meanwhile back at the treehouse...
Jake was on his way to the treehouse after dropping Finn off at the candy kingdom. He was kinda nervous to teach Marceline viola lessons because he's terrified of vampires.
'Oh well' Jake thought 'Homies help homies and it's my turn to help Finn.'
When he got to the treehouse, he remembered something important.
"I forgot to eat breakfast today!" Jake admitted out loud.
Then he remembered something else, Lady was supposed to come over, so, he called her up.
No answer.
'That seems ominous, Lady always answers her phone.'
Just as Jake started to eat, Marceline floated in from the window.
"Aw come on, I was just about to eat Marceline."
Marceline shrugged and picked up the viola. She held it like it was a guitar.
"That's not how you hold it!" Jake snapped and snatched the instrument. "Hold it, like this." Jake instructed. He carefully handed his most prized possession to Marceline.
Marceline didn't even try to pick it up the correct way. Marceline strummed a few strings. It didn't sound right.
"Uh!" Marceline gave up and threw the viola on the floor. "This isn't gonna work out Jake, I can only play a guitar!"
Jake whimpered from Marceline's screeching voice.
"Where did you take Finn anyway?"
"To the Candy Kingdom. He had to go help Princess Bubblegum."
"So... he... wanted to help Bonnibelle instead of me?"
"Yeah! Princess was sick, and that's what we were on our way to do anyway.."
"Oh." Marceline said disappointed. "He didn't want to help me out at all?"
"I don't know, I guess he did. Why does this matter anyway?"
"You just don't get it do you?" Tears started to well up in Marceline's face.
"Get what?"
"Well... Finn... he means a lot to me."
"Well of course he does, he's the only friend you got."
"It's more than that!" Marceline hissed.
"Mhmm. Anyways Marcie what are we gonna do 'bout your concert?"
"I don't know Jake, I just quit."
"It's about time you said that! Now I can go eat and sleep. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"We can cheat our way through the concert so you don't have to learn, and I don't have to teach you!"
Jake took a cereal box, string and glue and started putting something together. After he was done, it came out to look like a viola that was all jacked up.
"What, is that?" Marceline said laughing.
"It's a viola! Here's how we cheat our way out of this concert! You go up on stage and pretend to play this viola..."
"While your backstage actually playing! Jake, that's pretty cool!"
"Exactly! Now, I'll see you at the Mountain Kingdom for your concert at 7:45."
"Alright! See you..."
Just then, the Ice King nearly broke down the door. His eyes were filled with terror and he had bad news.
