Bonnibel was sitting in calculus class. The teacher had been absent due to family reasons and they had been left with an assignment instead. She had finished it rather quickly and was now just doodling on back of her notebook.

"Psst."

Bonnibel looked up from her doodles and looked around for the person calling her.

"Psst."

She heard it once more and this time it came from behind her. She looked back and saw Lady and her friend; Lumpy. They were waving at her. She waved back and they smiled. They started dragging their chairs towards the pink haired girl. Since there was really no teacher, the students were just doing what they please. A few of them had already left the room, the remaining were either sleeping or chatting the time away.

"Hello." Bonnibel smiled as the two girls had seated themselves next to her.

"Hey, Princess." Lady smiled back. She had insisted on using Bonnibel's first name even though Bonnibel told her she could just call her 'Bonni.'

"Hey girl!" Lumpy said, "So what's the juice you got?" The chubby, brown haired girl asked. Leaning a bit forward.

"Juice?" Bonnibel asked confused. She was pretty sure she didn't bring any juice with her today or that they had ever talked about juices before.

"That's just Lumpy speak for 'news'." Lady translated,

"Oh. News about what Lumpy?" Bonnibel asked.

"Hello!? You're hanging out with Marceline!" Lumpy exclaimed while flinging her arms over her head in an exaggerated manner.

"And so?"

"Princess... Marceline is-"

"A Freak!" Lumpy finished for Lady. Bonnibel visibly flinched as she heard Lumpy say 'freak.'

"Marceline is not a freak." Bonnibel stated calmly.

"Haven't you heard?" Lumpy asked,

"Heard what?"

"Yes well... There are some...rumors that Ms. Abadeer is-" Once again Lady was cut off by Lumpy.

"A Vampire!" She said. "She's a lumping vampire! That's what she is!"

"A... Vampire?" Bonnibel was now utterly confused. Marceline... A vampire? How so?

"It's just rumors though..." Lady countered. It seemed she was defending Marceline but Bonnibel didn't give it any thought.

"There's a lot of rumors about that Vampire but I think her being a vampire is the real deal!" Lumpy declared.

"Why do you say that Lumpy? I mean. Vampires are just myths that humans created. They're not real. Just figments of imagination." Bonnibel said as a matter of fact. She didn't like it when people talked about Marceline in a bad way. Especially if they are declaring something based on a rumor.

"Hellooo~" Lumpy said, her eyes squinting. Lady shook her head.

"Hear we go..." The light blonde, rainbow loving girl muttered. Before Bonnibel could ask what she meant, Lumpy began explaining what she meant.

"PB! Haven't you ever noticed how Marceline is always so quiet and how she's always wearing a jacket or hoodie?!"

"Well... she does seem to like hoodies..."

"See! That's cause she's protecting herself from the death rays of the sun! And have you noticed how her skin is sooo pale?!"

"Well yeah but-"

"VAMPIRE!"

"Lumpy, you can't honestly believe that Marceline is a vampire." Bonnibel said flatly,

"I do! The signs are all there!"

"Ahuh..."

"And another thing is how she likes that tree in the back of the school."

"How is that vampire related?"

"Hellooo~ Haven't you watched Lunar Eclipse?" (A/N: I didn't want to use "Twilight" so I winged it .)

"Uhmm... I read the 1st book. I didn't really like it. It was horrible in my opinion." Bonnibel shared,

"I know right? The plot was a little off." Lady concurred.

"Who cares!? Edwin was hot!" Lumpy said, "Anyways, you know the part about the forest and trees?"

"Yeah, they went up the tree and-"

"VAMPIRE! Going up trees is a vampire thing cause the trees give them shade. Shade from the death rays of the sun!" Lumpy yelled again, "Seriously girl, you better watch your back around that freak." Lumpy warned. Before Bonnibel or even Lady could say anything, the lunch bell rang, making Lumpy shoot out of her seat.

"LUNCH! Finally! I'm flippin' hungry~!" She grabbed Lady's wrist, "Let's go LR! Turtle's waiting for us!" She dragged the blonde out, leaving Bonnibel alone to sigh and think about what the chubby, purple loving girl was going on about.

"See ya later PB!" Lumpy yelled,

"Bye!" Lady called before being dragged out.

She did make some sense. The hoodie, the pale skin. Now that I think about it, Marceline's eyes aren't that normal either. Bonnibel sighed, What do I do? Marceline is my friend. I can't doubt her like this. There must be a logical reason.

Bonnibel was brought out of her thought when she heard someone call out to her,

"Hey."

She looked up and saw the girl in question, Marceline. She was leaning against the door frame of the class room. She was wearing a faded red sweatshirt, faded black jeans and some red tennis shoes. She looks up at her,

"Hello... Earth to Bonnibel." She says, walking towards Bonnibel. "You okay?" She asks. She's much different from when I first met her. She teases me a bit now. Although, I know she's not really teasing that much. I've seen her and Simon tease each other back and forth and right now is just her D-Game. She's still quiet most of the time. She still doesn't like talking about herself. She mostly likes hearing about me. Bonnibel thought.

"Ahm. Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something." Bonnibel stands up and gathers her things, "Shall we eat lunch?" The pink headed girl smiles,

"We shall." Marceline smiles back with a small smile. She hasn't gotten that used to the gesture yet, but she's learning. Simon has been encouraging her to try and befriend Bonnibel. Sure enough, she's trying.

They buy their food and head up to the tree once again. Bonnibel glanced over at Lumpy and Lady's table before they headed outside. Lumpy curled her two pointing fingers in front of her mouth and gave a snarl, making her look a tiny bit of a vampire. Bonni shook her head and followed Marceline outside.

They sat in the tree in silence. Comfortable silence. They liked it this way. They would both eat quietly, admiring each other or what was going on around them. Sometimes one of them would be reading a book, but after eating, they would stay a while and just talk. Mostly Bonnibel would talk and Marceline would listen. It was system they were both comfortable with.

Once finished eating, Marceline put her hands behind her head and laid back against the tree trunk. She closed her eyes and hummed a tune.

Bonnibel finished her meal a few minutes later and just let her legs dangle again. She looked at Marceline who was still humming a tune. It was a familiar tune, but she just could put her finger on it.

"Marceline...?" Bonnibel started. The whole time she was eating, she was also thinking. Thinking about the rumors. The mystery around the pale girl.

"Hm?" The pale girl cracked open one eye.

"Uhmm..." Bonnibel was tongue tied. What was she suppose to say? How was she suppose to ask? "Uhm... Marceline, what are you?" Nice. Real Nice. She thought.

Marceline opened both eyes and leaned forward, pulling knee up and propping her head there. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Well... I heard some things about vampirism..." Bonnibel's voice faded out. She really had no idea how to approach this subject. Marceline, on the other hand, knew exactly what the girl was talking about. She raised a brow,

"What about it?"

"Well... Uhmm... Are... I mean... You..." Bonnibel stuttered and Marceline snickered. SNICKERED! Bonnibel stared at Marceline who was still snickering a bit. Another step up, I guess. Bonnibel thought.

"Am I a vampire?" Marceline asked. Voicing out Bonnibel's question for her. The pink headed girl opened her mouth a few times but no sound came out. She looked down at her hands which were neatly folded on her lap.

"Ye-yeah... Are you?" She still didn't look up.

"What do you think?" Marceline leaned back. Her hands folded on one knee. Bonnibel looked up to see Marceline smirking at her. What game are you playing Marceline?

"I-I dunno...! That's why I'm asking you." Bonnibel said. Now she was confused. Why is Marceline acting like this? Marceline's smirk disappeared and was replaced with her usual neutral face. She looked up and shrugged. She started humming again. It was the same tune... she still couldn't tell what song it was. But she knew it was with in her reach.

"Hmm... Hmmm... Hmmm..." Marceline then leapt from the tree. Bonnibel was shocked at first but followed the pale girl.

"Oh c'mon Marceline! Tell me the truth."

Marceline stopped in her tracks, "Ah-Ah-Ah Bonnibel." She looked back, "The truth is something you need to earn." She said, her face as neutral as ever.

"Don't you trust me?" Bonnibel scrunched up her eyebrows. Wanting an answer for her questions.

Marceline walked forward, "Trust. Now that's something you have to work hard for." She whispered and turned, humming again.

Bonnibel was a little stunned in her response. But the tune was now remembered. She sang the lyrics of the song in her head.

You wanna know more, more, more about me.

Gotta know reverse psychology.

I'm the reason why you can't get to sleep.

I'm the girl you never get just quite what you see.

Bonnibel stood there for a while as the lyrics made it through her head.

"Hey, you coming?" Marceline asked, she was holding the door open with one hand in her pocket.

Bonnibel smiled, "Coming!" She ran towards the pale girl. She had a goal now and she was screaming it in her head to get herself determined.

To earn your trust Marceline, I will work hard!
