Whose the best? Thats right! Its me! i thought you guys would like it if i posted bigger chapters, faster. So, here it is!
When I woke up there was a text message from marshall Band practice is at 7 pm every Friday, if you want to, I can show you some of the songs we sing and we can hang out until band practice. Give me a call or just come on over, seeya whenever Fi. P.S. I ran out of strawberries, think you can help me? J
I laughed, then I smelt something. I looked around trying to figure out what it was, it smelt like sweaty socks mixed with dirt, mud…. And sour milk, curious, I lifted my arm and I sniffed my wrist and was blown away by the overpowering stench, my eyes watering. Oh glob! I need to take a shower apparently, how can marshall deal with this smell! His sense of smell is even stronger than mine and I cant handle it! I decided to reply to his message Be there soon, gotta take a shower first. I just noticed how bad I smell… How can you stand being near me without getting knocked out! P.S. You ate all of our strawberries a couple days ago…
I quickly ran up the steps and grabbed some new clothes, some denim shorts I cut off, a tight dark green shirt, my hat, some socks, and some black converse. I took my shower, washing my hair with this strawberry shampoo and conditioner, then washing my body with this body wash that smelled like jasmine (Both presents from PG). Once I got I out I quickly dried my hair and I threw my clothes on, grabbed my phone, and I held my hat while walking to marshalls, making sure my hair had dried before I put it on. I knocked on the door and a few seconds marshall was there, wearing his favorite red plaid shirt, ripped jeans, and burgundy converse.
"Wow… you smell… Fruity and flowery…" I could see he was trying not to laugh. "let me guess… jasmine anddddd" he took my hat off before I could grab it and he took my hair and smelled it "Fi, you hiding a strawberry field in your hair without telling me?" I laughed and grabbed my hat, pulling it back on my head and making sure my hair was inside, except for my stupid bangs, they never stayed inside no matter how hard I tried.
"Ok so, your music is pretty much pop, alternative and rock am I right?" we had been listening to the songs that his band plays. Suddenly a beat that I knew came on and we both looked at eachother, I jumped up on his couch and started playing and air guitar and singing the song (song is fall out boy sugar were going down) he started laughing as I started Flinging my hair (marshall had taken her hat earlier) and playing my air guitar, while singing the song VERY enthusiastically, after about 30 seconds he joined me and we were both singing, playing air instruments, marshall wearing my hat. In the end he fell down and I fell down on top of him, we were both laughing hard. Then the door opened and we finally had quieted our laughing mostly, the band members walked in to see me laying on marshalls laugh, both of us breathing hard and red faced because of the laughing. Marshall started giggling again which threw me into a fit of laughter too. Once we FINALLY stopped our laughing I took notice of the band members, they were almost all ghosts, but they weren't extremely transparent. One of them wasn't a ghost… the girl…
"Marshall, you gonna introduce us or what?" said the guy I had seen back stage last night
"oh yeah, Fi. This is Jake" He pointed to the guy, he had dark green eyes, and brown hair. He was wearing a dark red casual shirt, and had ripped denim jeans like marshall.
"I'm the drums" he said.
"I'm electric guitar, my names john" I looked at the new speaker, his eyes were hazel-ish yellow he had blond hair about as long as marshalls and jakes, but his was more messy and wild. He had a friendly face and he had a black tee shirt, and dark blue denim skinny jeans. He seemed like he was very outgoing and friendly, his face kind of looked like the face of a child, but his eyes showed wisdom, and also had a playful mischievous glint.
"I am stella, I play lead guitar" I turned to see a stunning girl, her eyes were icey blue, and they looked amazing, kind of like they were slightly glowing, she had long black hair, about to her chest, tied into a pony tail. She had a black jacket on, halfway unzipped to reveal a white spaghetti strap cami, and she had dark blue skinny jeans and combat boots on. She smiled happily at me then she looked at what I was wearing and walked up to whisper in my ear "Meet me after band practice, You style doesn't go with the band style, but I know how to fix that" she pulled back and winked.
"Ok, now that we've all been introduced, ready to practice?" marshall said and grabbed his axe bass taking off my hat too.
Band practice lasted until 8 pm, we were having lots of fun, messing around with songs, making up new tunes and making hilarious random lyrics to them. "Hey marshall, what movie we gonna watch tonight?" jake asked
"we usually hang out and watch a movie after band practice, that's enough time for me to make you over and bring you back in time for the guys to see" stella said to me, she stood right next to me. "Hey guys me and Fionna are gonna go do something, we'll be right back ok?" the guys looked at us
"uh, sure… we'll be hanging out here, watching battle ship" marshall said, distracted by searching for a red cola in his fridge one he found one he took it and cracked it open, his face showing pride as in yay I found it Pride. He looked at us "seeya later" with that me and stella walked out and she took my hand and we started flying in the moonlight.
"You're a vampire?" I asked and she smiled at me
"Yep!" she smiled showing her fangs
"so where we going?" I asked
"Well first we are going to the mall to get you a better wardrobe, then were going to my house" she said and I noticed we were already pretty much at the mall, we landed and we were standing in front of the huge building. I shivered, the ocean, and now this?! This week wasn't going my way at all. She pulled me inside and I was blinded for a coupled minutes by the bright lights, then I saw millions of stores and millions of things that I had never seen before. "What?" she laughed "you've never seen a mall before" she had noticed my mouth was open and I was just staring when I slowly shook my head no she gasped "Really! No way! Well then today's your lucky day Im going to treat you to any clothes that go with the band style" she smiled at me as I fake smiled back thinking I don't think im that lucky… but I guess it might be fun… she pulled me to this shop called Undead and once she walked in many people greeted her. She looked at me, her eyes concentrating hard as she studied me. "You look about a medium or small shirt size and about a 16 in pants… Shoe size , is 8… am I right?" she looked at me and I shrugged
"I guess, cake makes most of my clothes…" she smiled, she then started piling up different outfits, shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, a couple dresses, some bras (slightly embarrassed about that) and some shoes. I gawked at her as she started going to the changing room, she looked back at me
"You coming? You need to try this stuff on" I nodded and quickly walked back with her, the first outfit was a black tube top with a denim skirt. She put the shirt and skirt in one pile, calling it the keep pile. Then I tried on a couple more shirts, about 9/10'ths going into the keep pile. Most of the pants were skinny jeans or really short shorts, and most of them went into the keep pile. Then I tried on the first of the dresses, it was a navy blue, she looked at me for a couple seconds and said "Nah, dresses don't seem to be your style or the bands style." She laughed " take that off and get rid of all those dresses" I complied. Then I tried on the shoes, almost breaking my neck in about half of them, so only the shoes that were like mabe one inch to a half an inch made it in the keep pile. I put all my clothes back on as she paid for the stuff, when I came out she was waiting for me with two big bags "This is about 40 outfits, interchangeable of course" her eyes twinkled as she smiled, she really loved shopping I guessed.
Then walking about halfway through the giant building she pulled me into this hair salon place. She whispered something to the lady and looked at me, then whispered some more. The lady walked up to me and she smiled "You will be in the back room, miss fionna" I looked back at Stella she just smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
"Just let them do what they do! Im gonna go to a couple other shops, but I'll be back by the time they finish!" she smiled at me and walked out of the shop. The lady led me to this backroom with this weird chair that had a mini tub connected to it at the bottom, and had bowls placed at both sides of the arm rest . The room had no mirrors, or windows, and also had shelves filled with hair stuff. I sat down suspiciously, Its okay, if marshall trusts stella, then so do I.. they put my hands in the bowls, and my feet in the tub… They started doing stuff to my feet that tickled, it tickled a lot… I kept on accidently pulling my feet away from the lady who was working on my feet. There were four different people working on me at the same time, it felt weird. One was doing my feet, two were doing my hands, and one was working on my hair… it felt weird since I couldn't see what she was doing since after she washed my hair she put this tin foil in my hair. the people working on my hands and feet had started painting my nails… I kinda freaked out but I somehow calmed down, okay I admit it, I actually kind of liked the feeling as they were working on my hands and feet, it felt good. About like 15, or was it 20, oh I don't know… however long later the girl who was doing my hair took the tin foil out and the people with my hands and feet were already done… My toe nails were now black, and my finger nails were a dark burgundy red with little skulls on them.. but I still couldn't see what that person had done to my hair, once I was finally let out of the room the first thing I did was run to a mirror. I gasped in shock, my wavy/ curly blonde hair was still at my waist, it just looked a little lighter, more healthy and glossy, and looked A LOT more tame. But the biggest difference was, there was a big red streak on the right (its really her left but shes looking in a mirror, and if someone, say us looked at her, it would be our right) side of my hair, and like one or two small ones in my bangs. Stella walked back in the store. "Oh my glob! You look amazing! Ok so I went to a couple other stores so now lets head to my house" she smiled grabbing my hand before I could respond and quickly taking me out of the store, out of the mall and into the air, and only like 2 minutes later we had arrived at her house, it was a small house for one, it was actually pretty big on the inside, on the outside it was built of bricks, and the inside the walls were completely white , with red and black vintage furniture. The WHOLE upstairs was just her room and a big bathroom. She led me into the bathroom and took out one of the outfits we had got, a pair of black one inch wedges with a knot on the front, some short pre-cut off shorts and this tight black shirt with slitted sleeves (t-shirt sleeves) and a skull on the front. I put on the outfit and she gave me this dark burgundy red leather bracelet that looked like a mini belt for your wrist, I put it on.
"Sit, this'll only take a few minutes" I saw her open a makeup bag and I started squirming. "Don't worry, I wont put a lot on! Just close your eyes" as soon as I closed my eyes I felt pain at my eyebrows. Then I felt my eyelids being pulled (stella plucked her eye brows and curled her eyelashes) then It felt like she was drawing on the top of my eyelids, right above my eyelashes (eyeliner) then I felt her putting something else on my eyes (eyeshadow) then it felt like she was drawing on my eyebrows (eyebrow definer) and finally she put something on my lips. THIS is a little makeup?! I thought as she said "ok open your eyes now!" I opened them and looked at her, she was smiling excitedly. "You look so pretty!"
I got up and went to a mirror and noticed she was right, I looked like, well, a rockstar that hardly wears any makeup! The makeup she put on me was light and just enough to enhance my beauty, but not to much. I looked amazing.. I couldn't say a word, just stare at my reflection. "Come on! Lets get back to band practice!" she grabbed my hand and started walking very fast towards the door "oh and I'll bring your clothes,shoes, and accessories to marshalls house later someday.." with that we started flying hand in hand for the third time that night reaching marshalls house pretty quickly. She knocked on his door and we could hear inside
"Woah! Ok hold on a sec, someones at the door" there was a thump and clang, like something aluminum hit the door, and then we could hear laughing "John! Not cool man! Now theirs red cola all over my door! Stop throwing food! Your wasting perfectly good apples!" I laughed at marshalls voice. A couple seconds later the door opened and marshall saw stella first "Hey stella, welcome back, you too fi…" his voice drifted off at the end of the sentence as he looked at me, his mouth slightly open. His eyes showed surprise… and something else... it was longing, and want… I think, it disappeared quickly as he shook his head and ran a hand through his jet black hair. I looked into his eyes, as he looked into mine, blue meeting red, and it felt as if the whole world had stopped.
"Hey Marshall, you gonna let us in?" stellas voice broke the trance.
"Is that stella! Marshall! Let stell in!" jakes voice sounded.
"oh uh yeah, come on in" Marshall looked sort of flustered, he leaned back on the door, and stella walked in first, then me. As soon as I walked in I saw John look at me and the apple he was eating dropped from his mouth. I laughed a little. He floated over to me. (since their all either ghosts or vampires they all float except for fionna)
"hellooo pretty lady! Would you like an apple? Or perhaps something more?" his eye brows went up as he came closer to me, his face super close to mine, I could smell something fruity on his breath and knew instantly he was drunk. His eyes has a mischievous glint in them. I froze up, danger… I had never handled a drunk man before… I knew I couldn't kill him, hes a ghost, and I knew marshall wouldn't be able to help me easily because vampires cant beat ghosts, kind of like rock cant be paper. He inched closer to me smiling. Suddenly I felt a cold hand grip on my shoulder and I was pulled into marshalls chest, I looked up at him, his eyes were blazing with anger, glaring daggers at john. His arms wrapped around me protectively. Woahhh this is really weird! Whys marshall being so protective? I've never seen him like this unless its with his bass or his hair…
"John, lay a hand on her and I swear you drunk bastard, I'll turn you black and blue, and beat you until your so deformed no one will know who you are" this surprised me, but jake and stella were just hanging around eating and watching like this happened a lot
"woah dude calm down" john laughed and looked at me. "I just wanted a kiss" he laughed more. Suddenly music blared and I saw stella laughing, sitting on the big speaker, she was drunk to, and so was jake. John, distracted, started dancing. I felt marshall pulling me towards the couch, he sat down and pulled me to sit on his lap. I felt my cheeks heat up, I tried to get up but his grip tightened around my waist, until my back was right against his chest and his head was beside mine. I tried to get up again, but I couldn't even budge, it was like we were super glued to the couch or something.
"Marshall, please let go" I whispered, I felt a shiver go down my spine as I felt his breath on my neck when he responded
"No way, there are drunkards all around us, and theres no way im letting those guys lay a hand on you" he answered and I laughed a little. I tried to get away from his grasp like 15 more times, before I finally gave in and relaxed against him. Stella, john and jake were starting to get rowdy, throwing stuff, acting really clumsy, a half-eaten apple just barely missed me and marshalls heads by like a half an inch.
Suddenly Marshall stood up, one arm wrapped tightly around my waist he carried me at his side. He climbed the ladder that led to his room, then he put me down on his bed as he closed the hatch (Trap door looking thing) and locked it, then picked up his dresser and placed it over top of it. "We're safer up here" he said and looked at me apologetically. "im sorry that it turned out this way, I didn't know they had brought alcohol until it was to late" I smiled and looked at him from ontop of his bed, which was surprisingly super comfy.
"Marshall, don't be like that, you didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize!" he looked up and smiled exhaustedly at me. Then he stood up and made his way to the bed, and sat down beside me making the bed jump a little, and since he was heavier than me I ended up sliding closer to him. Since there was a dip in the bed where he was sitting. We could still here the yelling, smashing and crashing of stuff, and the SUPER loud music.
He whispered something quietly.
"What?" I leaned closer to him, he whispered again, I still couldn't hear it. "What did you say?"
"Fi…" all I heard was my name, the rest of the sentence was still to quite to hear, I got to close, I was right next to him my face right beside his.
"Come again?" I saw him smile slightly, in a quick motion he grabbed my waist, and fell back with me in his arms. "marshall!" I tried to get out of his grasp but it was really strong.
"C'mon Fi, just relax" suddenly I felt really sleepy. The last thing I heard was his voice. "You cant hide it from me, I knew you were sick… take it easy for a while. Or that fever will get worse….. You need to take more care of yourself" I smirked classic marshall…I should've known you wouldn't have been fooled… I felt comforted and safe in his arms, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.
