Hello Kitties!
I'm so excited about how well my story is doing so far! I mean my other ones weren't as good as this one. But I know this one will be the one. And I plan to not end it until like a year or so later. Thanks for some algebraic reviews and support!

Finn sat up in his bed and ran his fingers through his wavy blond hair. The apartment was cool and cozy, it was silent, and he couuldn't smell any food.
So what woke him up? He could sleep for hours before someone woke him up. And that usually happened if Fi woke him. He glanced at his clock and grunted in irritation. He only slept for one hour! What the cabbage!
The sound of the doorbell ringing cleared his mind up a little. He walked downstairs and looked at his sister sleep on the couch next Marshall Lee. By instinct, he'd wake her up, but he wasn't up for a fight with the her.
He walked to the door and opened it up. A little girl with brown hair and vibrant purple eyes stared up at him, causing him to smirk. She was looking at him like she was his boss or something.
"Can I help you?" Finn laughed.
"Are you Finn Mertens?"
"The one and only."
"Well..." she started to look nervously at the concrete and took a deep breath. "My daddy passed two days ago and they are trying to put me in a foster home. I don't want to go Finn! But, then I heard one of the grown ups talking about you and your sister Fionna. And I got curious, so I started looking for you. Someone I know said that you could help me when I asked them for help. And he told you to make sure you and Fionna gave him a call if you needed anything." the girl handed him a card with a phone number on it and smiled. Her freckled nose stretched out as she did so. "I'm Penny."
Finn looked down at the card and noticed the initials on the card's corner. Who was S.P?
"He told you that I could help you?" Finn said looking at Penny confusedly. "Kid I-"
"Please sir, you're my last hope! No one else would want me!" Penny begged.
Finn zoned out on her pleas afterward and remember Fionna's exact words...
"Finn I don't want to stay here!"
"Fionna this is our last hope! We can't stay anywhere else."
"That's because nobody wants us!"
Finn looked down at the girl and noticed that she wore a plaid purple and black skirt and purple collared shirt. If it wasn't in rags she would have looked less innocent. Her face and clothes were smeared in dirt and she looked like she'd went through death and back.
"Alright fine. You can stay here until we can get someone to adopt you." Finn said ruffling her hair.
"Really!? Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you Finn!" Penny said hugging his legs.
"Alright, come on in. Fionna and her friend aren't up yet and she's crashing on the couch, so you can take her bed." Finn said taking her upstairs to Fionna's room. Penny smiled and jumped on the bed. Cake came over and purred rubbing against her foot.
"Aaaaw! She's adorable!" Penny said. She turned the collar on the feline's neck and smiled. "Cake, huh? Cool."
"Yeah. Anyway you can get a shower and..." Finn went over to Fionna's closet and pulled out a box labeled "Kid stuff." He pulled out a purple shirt and black skirt. He tossed it over to Penny. "Here's some clothes."
Penny held the clothes in her hands. "Thank you Finn. For taking me in and all."
"Hey, I've been there. This is like a repayment for all the other orphans out there. We gotta stick together man." Finn said fist bumping Penny. He smiled at her and closed the door. He went to his bedroom and got ready for work. He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Empty. Forgot to go shopping." Finn muttered to himself. He called his job and told them he'd be there in two hours. Figuring Penny would be fine, he headed out to the store.
Fionna woke up to the smell of pepperments and earth. She opened her eyes and realized that she fell asleep on the couch with Marshall Lee. Knowing she was way to comfortable to get up, she snuggled back in next to Marshall. They decided last night that they should stay out of school for the rest of the week until Marhsall Lee was ready to go back to school without any problems.
A soft snore escaped Marshall's mouth and Fionna realized how much younger he looked asleep. Less bad boy and more little boy. She wish she could see that more often. But he did have a rep like he said, and she could repsect that.
Figuring she couldn't go back to sleep, Fionna got up and went to her room. She opened the door and looked surprised at the little girl on her bed.
"Hello." Fionna said.
"Hi." the girl said stroking Cake.
"Where did you come from?"
"Well, when to people love each other very much-"
"No I mean, why are you here?"
"Oh, well Finn said he'll let me stay here until I'm adopted by someone."
"Okay...do you know where Finn is?"
"He just left." the girl said shrugging.
"Oh, well I'm his younger sister Fionna." Fionna said.
"I'm Penny."
"Okay Penny. Do you wanna come hang with me downstairs?"
"Sure." Penny said getting up and following Fionna out the door.
They went downstairs and Penny caught a glimpse of a boy with shaggy black hair lying on his stomach alseep on the couch.
"That's my bud Marshall. He's staying here too." Fionna said setting up her Wii. She hears a tune play and turned to see Penny fiddling with Marhsall's bass. "That's his bass. You might not want to touch it."
"Why?" Penny said walking over to the love seat infront of the tv. She looked around the room and a thought occurs to her. "Didn't you guys just move here?"
"Yeah, a while ago why?"
"Well, why is there so much furniture?"
"Would you believe me if I said that the landlord paid a guy to fix it up for us before we got here?" Fionna said turning the game on. Just Dance 14 pulled up on the screen and she noticed Penny's smile from the corner of her eye. "You wanna play?"
"Would I!" Penny sat up and grabbed a Wii remote. "Oh man all of the kids at my old school were talking about this!"
"Haha. Well I play it all the time when Finn isn't around. Him and his friend Jake take the game to seriously." Fionna said hitting start. She thought about turning the volume down for Marshall, but then she saw him stir on the couch and he sat up slowly. "Hey man if you wanna sleep you can go in my room to avoid the music from the game."
His eyes darted to the brunette on the couch. Fionna noticed. "Oh um Penny, this is Marshall Lee. Marsh, this is Penny. Finn is gonna let her chill with us for a while."
"Sup Penny." Marshall Lee said with a nod. He got up and stretched with a yawn.
"Me and Pen Pen are about to play Just Dance 14. Wanna play too?" Fionna said going to the dance playlist.
"Nah I need to shower. I'll play later"
"Um okay!"
When Marshall Lee was up the stairs, Penny looked at Fionna with suspicion. Fionna looked at her and asked confusedly.
"What?" Fionna asked looking for her song.
"Do you like Marshall Lee?" Penny asked her innocently.
"I wish I could help you bro, but you know how my folks are."
"Yeah it's cool dude. I'll just stay here for a while until I get my own house." Marshall Lee told Blaze on the phone when he got out of the shower. He was upstairs in the bathroom changing clothes.
"So Ash booked us a gig at that cool pizza place we hang out at after school sometimes."
"Really? I thought He said it was hardly open for amateurs?"
"Dude, You must really be depressed if You seriously classify yourself as an amateur. You're a Scream King man! Act like it!" Blaze shout encouragingly.
"I'm sorry dude I'm just a little bummed out."
"Don't be."
"I'm trying as hard as I can. The only thing keeping me happy is blue. We Sat up last night and wrote this sweet song and honestly, I like it more than all of the other ones we've sung. She always makes Me feel awesome. No matter how things get, she's got My back. And I got hers. She's just cool like that."
…
"Blaze?"
"Dude...Oh duuuuuuude!"
"What!?" Marshall asked.
"You like her! Oh man Mar Mar is in love!" Blaze said laughing on the other end of the phone.
"What! Why would You say that?"
"So you admit that You like girlie?"
"Yes...I mean No...I mean-I DON'T KNOW!"
"Dude chill. Its okay."
"When did this happen!?" Marshall Lee yelled confusedly.
"I guess since You met her." Blaze explained.
"But that doesn't make sense."
"Look, the clues lye in the friendship. Do You flirt with her?"
"Sometimes."
"Do You care about her?"
"A lot." Marshall said frustratedly.
"One last thing. What kind of song did You guys write?" Blaze asked.
"A lo- A LOVE SONG! Oh GLOB I like Fionna..."
"Yeah You do."
"Shut up man it doesn't matter. Everyone knows She likes pinky."
"You mean Gummy? Dude Fionna likes everyone She meets. She met Me in the detainment hall at school on day and She still talked to Me. And that day I was pissed! She'd find a serial killer and still find a reason to love it."
"That is true. Thanks man."
"No prob. I'll talk to You later."
"Alright." Marshall said hanging up. He ran his fingers through his dripping wet hair and sighed. It'd been over a year since he'd actually liked someone that way. How was He gonna get through to bunny though?
