Chapter 5, Best friends and Stage fright.
The instant Fionna closed the door, after saying goodnight to Marshal for the fifth time; Cake was on her like a cat on catnip.
"Okay girl! Spill, how was it? Was he a gentleman? Do I need to kick ass? What did you guys do?" Cake bounced from anticipation. She pulled Fionna onto her bed and stared at her excitedly. Fionna laughed, shaking her head as she tried to calm Cake.
"Just relax for a moment. Lemme go change and then I'll dish it out to you okay?" Fionna got up and went to change. Cake sat on the edge of her bed the whole time, continuing to question Fionna until at last she was seated back in her spot on Cakes bed. "Okay… So we walked to the park and were just talking. He told me about his parents and what they did, and I talked about my mom. Then Ashley came up in the subject and we talked about exes for a little while… I told him about my old boyfriend and ex best friend." Fionna shrugged, trying to leave out the parts about holding hands.
"That's it? Nothing else happened?" Cake huffed, she had been told about most of Fionna's life the first night they had roomed together. The girls had stayed up into the wee hours of the morning discussing everything about each other. Cake quickly knew when Fionna would keep something from her. "Something happened… What are you finding from me Fi?" When Fionna shifted uncomfortably and shrugged Cake knew she had been caught. "Tell me best friend."
Fionna sighed and got up crossing her arms loosely across her chest. "We just held hands. It was nothing…" Fionna smiled when she remembered Marshal taking her hand on the way back to school. He had held her girlishly small hand gently, never once making her feel uncomfortable. "It was nice."
Cake squealed and jumped up. "Oh my glob Fi!" She giggled and spun around. "Tomorrow you and I are going shopping. I'm gonna make sure you look gorg-a-lious on Monday." Fionna laughed but agreed. She welcomed a nice girl day. She simply hoped Cake would not take things too far. Deep down though she knew it was in Cakes nature.
Fionna was napping in the changing room. She figured with all the clothes Cake kept tossing over the door it was a perfect time to catch up on her ZzZ's. She did not take into account, however, for Cake to open the door and Find her snoozing next to the mound of fabrics.
"FIONNA! WAKE UP THIS IS NO TIME TO BE SLEEPING!" Cake hissed, shaking the blonde vigorously. Fionna snapped to and backed up, banging her head in the wall.
"Ow…" She rubbed her head and grimaced at Cake. "Sorry… We just got up to early this morning… I need a break or something…" Fionna tried to give Cake a smile, quickly falling back asleep. Cake gave her one more shake before an idea came to her.
"Caffeine?" Cake grinned as Fionna opened an eye. "I'll be right back. Try something on okay?" Cake did not wait for an answer as she ran out of the dressing room. Fionna groaned, getting up to try a sun dress on. When Cake returned, Fionna was staring at herself in the mirror, turning to and fore. "It looks great on you Hun." Cake smiled and handed Fionna a soda. "Try on the others then we can get the flip outta here." With a nod from Fionna Cake left the room, a smile crossing her features.
Fionna sighed contently as she dropped her bags next to the bench her and Cake sat at. They had a successful day of shopping, all that was left was finding a way to unwind before heading back to the school. "That was pretty awesome Cake." Fionna beamed at her best friend. Cake grinned back and nodded.
"Okay its your turn. What should we do now?" Cake asked as she looked through one of the many bags.
Fionna looked around the shops surrounding the park. Her eyes stopped on a little instrument shop. She grinned from ear to ear as she got up. "I'll be right back!" She said as she ran off. Cake shrugged and continued to look through her handy work. She was determined to make Fionna look good.
When Fionna came rushing back to the bench with an electric guitar, Cake didn't really know what to say. Fionna simply pulled the confused girl to her feet and began to play out a song. "Follow my lead." Fionna began to sing in a sort of singing rap. Cake laughed and proceeded to wait for a good point to jump in. Both completely unaware that a small crowd had begun to form before the first note had been played.
"Yo, my best friend, best friend 'til the very end
Cause best friends, best friends don't have to pretend
You need a hand, and I'm right there right beside you
You in the dark, I'll be the bright light to guide you
'Member the time, time, times sneaking out the house
All of the time, time, times that you had your doubts
And don't forget all the trouble we got into
We got something you can't undo, do
Laughing so damn hard
Crashed your dad's new car
All the scars we share
I promise, I swear"
Immediately Cake joined into the song. Fionna smiled as they sang together. They both turned and were slightly shocked to see the crowd, Cake began to back step until Fionna nudged her forward.
"Wherever you go, just always remember
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
This is my oath to you"
Fionna placed the guitar down and linked arms with Cake, both looked out into the crowd and smiled as Cake took her turn in the song.
"I know I drive you crazy, hmm, sometimes
I know I call you lazy, and that's most times
But you complete me, and that's no lie
You are my tuxedo, and I'm your bow tie
We in the car, sing, sing, singing our song
Rocking the building, tear it down, like we king kong
And in my eyes, you can do, do no wrong
You got a best friend sing, sing along
Laughing so damn hard
Crashed your dad's new car
All the scars we share
I promise, I swear
Wherever you go, just always remember
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
This is my oath to you
Oh ohh, I'll never let you go
Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you
Oh ohh, just thought that you should know
Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you
Yeah...
Wherever you go, just always remember
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
This is my oath to you
Oh ohh
You should know, you should know, you should know, you should know, yeah
Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you
Oh ohh
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
Oh ohh, this is my oath to you"
Both girls laughed as they ended the song. They shared a hug and bowed to the fully formed crowd that had gathered for them. Many of the people threw money at their feet as they applauded. It was not until they were alone, money put away walking back to the school that Cake made Fionna stop and shared one of the only things Fionna did not know about her best friend.
"I'm scared of preforming in front of crowds…" Fionna smiled and gave a hug from sympathy. She understood such a common fear. The two continued arm in arm back to the school, gabbing about the awesomeness that had been unleashed by their song, not knowing someone was watching the two, plotting against them…
