Ok, so maybe in the future, there'll be more cursing.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Adventure Time.

Btw-

Sorry for not updating!

Chapter 3- Nicknames

Marshall's POV

Beep. Beep.

"Ughhh…" I slammed my hand on the alarm clock.

I looked over at Benny. For an introvert, he sure was hot. Yes. I know, I am bi. So yeah, he's hot. But that girl down the hall's hot as f too. I know Marcy's bi as well. I mean, one time I caught her staring at this other girl and it was awkward for both of us. But that's when I shared my secret. And being twins, we were ok with that.

I pulled on my jeans, black tee, and red plaid. I ran to the bathroom and ran my fingers through my hair, just to make it look the least bit fixed. I glanced at the clock. 6:40.

I grabbed my phone and slid it and my wallet into my pockets. By 6:45, I was at Marceline's door, and she was tying the laces on her red boots.

"You ready?" I asked from the doorway.

"You bet." She closed the door behind her and locked it.

We jogged down the stairs to the quad, where a couple students on morning runs jogged by.

I checked the time. 7:10.

"The list should be up somewhere…" I said, glancing around.

Marcy looked too. "Um… Oh! Found it! It's over on that wall, by the water fountain!"

We walked up and scanned the list for the "Bassist" section. Right there underneath, it read, "Lead Bassists: Marceline Abadeer, Freshman, Marshall Lee Abadeer, Freshman".

We both turned towards each other, and she nearly tackled me in a hug.

We did our secret handshake (which is too complicated to explain), and fistbumped. More auditioners flocked to the list, some reacting the same way as we did, and some with their head in their hands.

"ABADEERS!" a voice roared.

We turned to see a guy about 6'2 marching towards us. "Who the hell do you think you are?! I would've been lead bassist if you two hadn't arrived! No freshmen ever get leads!"

"Well we just did so deal with it!" Marcy shouted at his face. She's 5'8, so she still looked up at him. But she did it with the spunk I'm used to and love.

"Why, you little…" he raised a fist.

I stepped in front of her. "Don't even try."

"Oh yeah? Watch me!" He threw a punch, which I blocked. I returned with an uppercut to the gut, which pissed him off. He started throwing punches one after another, until one finally landed on my shoulder. The force knocked me off my feet. He started coming at me. I stood up and readied myself. Just about when he was going to throw one to my face, Marcy stepped in front of me.

"Back off, punk!"

"You want some too? I'll go easy since you are just a girl! This time, no big brother to save you." He started launching punches, which she blocked or dodged.

She grabbed hold of his arm and flipped him forward, slamming him into the ground.

"What you didn't realize is that I'm the most badass girl you will ever meet! Just remember this was only about 25% power. Don't make me go harder." And with that, she kicked him in the balls.

"And for the record, I am older by 5 minutes." And she started walking off. I followed and we both fistbumped again.

We arrived in our building and we split up when we reached our rooms.

"Whew, that got me all sweaty! I think I'm gonna go take a shower. See you at Starchy's later!"

I opened my door to find Benny still sleeping, but he was sleep talking again.

"Oh, glob! Marshall, you are so hot…"

I tried to contain as much laughter as possible. Is Benny gay? That would be hilarious. And would explain a lot.

I sat on my bed, whipped off my shoes, and gently plucked my bass.

"You're hot too, Benny…"

Marcy's POV

After my shower, I came back to find Bonnie stretching her arms above her head. "Morning, sleepyhead. Better get ready; it's 8:00. Assuming you want to get breakfast, we should leave soon.

"Alright, Marcy. Give me approximately 7 minutes to get ready."

"Approximately?"

"It's an estimate."

I shrugged. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "Ok."

"Mmm, this is sure to provide me with enough nutrients for the day to make up for pizza for lunch!"

"Ok, whatever you say…"

The cashier totalled up our stuff and I handed her $20.

"What? No, Marceline, I should pay!"

"Nah, I got it. Enjoy your breakfast, Bonnie. It's on me."

"Thank you."

We finished our meal and head back to the room to grab any additional items that we would need before the get-together. I grabbed the name tags that Bonnie persisted would be a good idea, my aviators, and my baseball cap. She grabbed a little shoulder bag and filled it with her wallet, a deck of cards, and some pens.

"Welcome to Starchy's Pizza." The cashier called.

We sat down at the huge round table. She pulled out the pens and I set the name tags on the table. We each wrote our names on them. Bonnie placed hers on the left side of her shirt, while I went for the left sleeve. Surprisingly soon after, Marshall and Benny arrived, then Lady and Lord, then Fionna and Cake, and finally, Finn and Jake. Marshall was wearing his normal plaid and jeans. I mean, he has like 4 of the same shirt. Benny is a fancier guy, wearing a nice pink button down and khakis. Lady wore her rainbow sweater, Lord wore his normal dark attire, and Finn, Jake, Fionna, and Cake wore their usual.

"Ok, everyone. Please fill out a name tag, just for those who haven't met before." Bonnie announced, standing up.

"Now we'll go around the table and say your name, your relationship with someone at this table, and an interesting fact about you. I know, it's cliche, but it works. I'll start and we'll go clockwise. My name is Bonnibel Gummerson, and my roommate is Marceline, and my twin brother is Benjamin. One fact about me is I am the type of person who loves to lead."

I stood up. "I'm Marceline Abadeer and like Bonnie mentioned, I'm her roommate and Marshall Lee is my twin brother. One fact about me is I have a birthmark on my neck that resembles a vampire bite mark, and I have fangs." I smiled as I gestured to the mark on my neck.

Marshall went next, saying he has a birthmark just like mine. Benny explained he is a silent leader who will step up if needed, but is very shy and needs encouragement. Finn and Fionna talked about how they love action movies and adventures. Jake and Cake explained their protectiveness over their younger siblings. Lady explained in Korean (which Bonnie translated) her move to the US with Lord. Lord used morse code (which Bonnie translated once more) to explain his disabilities.

"Now that we introduced each other, I think it would be cool if we developed nicknames for each other. Does anyone have any suggestions for anyone?"

Cake raised her hand. "I think Lord should be 'Lord Monochromicorn' because he is only wearing black and it's a pun on colorful unicorns."

"Oo! And Lady could be 'Lady Rainicorn' because she is the opposite of him!"

They both nodded excitedly.

"It's ok if we can't come up with anything now, we can always add or change names along the way." Bonnie added, noticing the silence as everyone was thinking.

"Let us play a game of cards for now." She pulled out the deck and set it down.

"Anyone know how to play Hearts?" I asked, shuffling the deck.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Good. Let's play!"

I dealt out the deck and each of us played, some with more strategy than others.

"Ha! Ace of Spades, yo!" Finn shouted, placing down his card.

"Interesting choice, Finn." Bonnie placed down the King of Spades.

I had a sly grin. "You shouldn't have done that, Finn…" I pulled out my next card.

I slapped it hard on the table. "BOOM! Queen of Spades! 13 points for you, Finn!" I gave an evil laugh.

"OH! I've got an idea for your nickname, Marceline! How about 'Marceline the Vampire Queen'! I mean that birthmark for the vampire part, but you're also badass and have that fun evil part!" Jake shouted.

"I like that. It's perfect! Check it out, I am evil royalty."

"Chillax, Marce. You don't know what you're talking about. I've got demon eyes. I can see into your darkest fears. I'm evil if you ask me." Marshall said, shaking his head.

I rolled my eyes. "Sure, whatevs, 'Marshall Lee the Vampire King'."

"Alright! I rule the night!" He looked at me and we had the same idea.

"We rule the Nightosphere!" We both cracked up.

"Sorry, it's a thing from when we were kids. We made it up." I explained.

"Well, that settles Lord, Lady, Marcy, and Marshall's nicknames." Bonnie clarified.

"You like science, don't you? 'Dr. Gummerson'. It makes sense." Finn suggested.

"Nah, it doesn't sound right. How about... 'Princess Bubblegum' because you are a leader and you act like a princess sometimes. But not the spoiled kind. You also are always chewing gum and your highlights are bubblegum pink. If you get what I'm saying."

"Hey, that's actually a better one, Marcy!" Finn exclaimed. "Right, Princess?" We all laughed.

"Benny, you could be um, 'Prince Gumball'! Just to add to the whole siblings should have similar nicknames trend." Marshall put his arm around his shoulders.

We continued playing. "Psst. Jake, should I throw this card down?" Finn "whispered".

"You know, everyone can hear you right? But I think you should throw this one instead." He pointed to it.

"Hey, Jake. You remind me of a dog; you are always loyal and stick with me even if you don't want to. And you are protective and look out for me. But not your average dog. A magic dog. One that can shapeshift cause you're the expert at disguise. How about something simple; 'Jake the Dog'."

"Good one, Finn. Then you should be 'Finn the Human' if you are the opposite of me."

"So far, we have Lord Monochromicorn, Lady Rainicorn, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Marshall Lee the Vampire King, Princess Bubblegum, Prince Gumball, Jake the Dog, and Finn the Human. We are missing Fionna and Cake. Anyone?" Bonnie said, clarifying.

"I vote 'Cake the Cat' and 'Fionna the Human' just to keep it consistent." Finn said.

"Well, now we all have nicknames, so that makes us an official friend group, I guess." Fionna said. She threw down her card.

Jake followed in suit and Finn was forced to take the last heart.

"Damn it! Every time!" He threw down all of his hearts, a total of 5, plus the Queen of Spades. Everyone else got one heart, except for one.

"HAHA no hearts, suckas! I win!" I shouted.

"Aww man, Marcy… how do you always end up getting the Queen and then throwing it away to someone else?" Finn whined.

"Dumb luck, man. The rest is strategy." I smirked.

We all walked back to our building. "Bye, guys. Good luck in class tomorrow." I called to the roommates unlocking their doors. "Try not to die!"

I swung open the door. "After you, Princess." I smiled and she replied, "Why, thank you."
