Ch14
*After school *
Marshall Lee walked, grimly the whole way, to Principal Basco's office. "What does she want?" He thought to himself. As soon as he entered, the office outside the principal's the excited chatter of the secretaries stopped. All looked at him with grins. "Okay" He mumbled dragging the word out. "Creepy much." He shoved his hands in his pockets as he continued to walk towards Basco's office. Sticking one hand out he grabbed the doorknob and hear many secretaries gasp in joy. He furrowed his brows and continued to turn. Opening the door he walked in laughing "Yo, Basco, Theirs something wrong with your secret-" was all he managed to say before he saw his father sitting in his mom's desk with her sitting on the desk. Both the adults grinned back. "Whoa. When did you get here?" Marshall Lee asked surprised
"Oh, shut up and come here." The uniformed man smirked and opened his arms for his smirking son.

"Where's Marshall Lee?" Fionna asked Marceline as they boarded the bus
"Receiving a surprise" Marceline smiled and sat next to Bubblegum in the front. Bubba entered and sat behind them, where Fionna joined sitting next to him. Jake sat next to Cake and Finn in front of them; he was across Marce and Bonnie.
"Huh?" Bubblegum asked and received a wink as a response. The girl blushed before looking down.
"Are you ignoring me?" Fionna asked Bubba as the bus began to move.
"No. Of course not." He smiled
"Then how come you've ignored me all day?" Fionna asked shyly
"Umm… I was having a problem…but I resolved it." He continued to smile
"Was it Marshall Lee?" Fionna blushed in embarrassment
"Yes." He sighed, Fionna's head jerked up. Wow, he admitted it. "Fionna, I'm sorry. I mistook your friendship as something it wasn't." He smiled once more, "We are friends. Nothing more… nothing less." Fionna smiled and hugged him tight "Ouch." He mumbled and laughed as she pulled away.
"So… what are we watching?" Bonnibel asked Marceline who was staring out the window
"How about you bring something over? My collection is just horror movies… I doubt you wanna see them." Marceline smiled sheepishly
"I could…give them a try." Bonnibel smiled
"Really?" Marceline asked amazed
"Yeah… and I'll bring over some ice cream." She smiled
"Awesome." Marceline smiled back
"Yeah… you are." Bonnibel thought to herself. Inching its self across the seat, her hand found Marceline's and they hooked pinkies.
"So… You're still coming over right?" Jake asked Cake.
"Yeah." She smiled "Got my dulcimer right here." She patted the case
Again, that annoying lock of hair flashed before her face. Jake's face showed panic and he turned away, Cake sighed and pushed it back behind her ear.

"Did you decide on the restaurant?" Bob asked his sister as the unlocked his door and entered the very pink furbished house.
"Yes. I made reservations for Le Atiff tonight." She grinned, "Who cares if it's too fancy? We haven't gone out in years."
Bob sighed. Anxiety had begun to run over him again. He looked over to the open study "Maybe…" He mumbled
"Bob!" Bulma exclaimed "Please! Give it a rest." The man sighed but nodded
"For Bonnibel." He thought
XXXXXXXXXXXX
As the bus pulled up on the curve and their bus stop, Finn suddenly realized something "Where's Jermaine?" He asked looking around
"You don't think…?" Cake asked
"He wouldn't go straight to the party? Would he?" Bubba asked
"He knows mom is going to flip if he doesn't show up for dinner at six?" Finn asked Jake
"The idiot probably forgot Mom took off work today." Jake face palmed
"Well, this ought to be interesting." Marceline laughed
The bus stopped and off climbed Marceline, Bonnibel, Bubba, Fionna, Cake, Jake, and Finn.
"I'll see you guys later. I am going to the museum with Farrah and I must get my note pads ready." Bubba grinned crossing the street
"Fionna, baby, I'm going over to Finn and Jake's. I am playing my dulcimer." Cake smiled and walked to cross the street with Jake.
"Dude, you still gonna chill with Susan?" Jake asked
"Yeah Man. I am just gonna go get my board." Finn said and fist bumped Fionna and Marce before leaving, waving goodbye to Bonnie.
"What about you Fi?" Marceline asked
"Oh, me and Marshall Lee are supposed to hang out. I am gonna go get my homework done before he shows up and distracts me… and I gotta go see if I can find heat signature." Fionna grinned
"Oh! You should so lend me that." Marceline grinned
"Sure. If you want to come-" Before Fionna could finish she saw Marshall Lee's mother's car in the driveway. "Hey it's Marshall." She pointed to the grinning boy stepping out of the car "He looks happy."
Marshall Lee stepped out of the unable to contain the smile. "So you wanna go upstairs and play me some of your new songs?" His dad smiled at him
"I would love to dad… but… I have a date." Marshall Lee grinned
"A date?" His mother teased "With? No wait let me guess Fionna Martin?"
"The little blond cutie?" His father laughed
Marshall Lee blushed and turned to see the three girls not far. He lifted his hands and waved them over. "Hello." Bonnibel was the first to speak
"Is this… Little Bonnibel Walsh?" He said unbelieving "Look at you." He smiled, his eyes jerked down to see the connecting hands of the two girls "You two are best friends now?" He lifted and eyebrow "Last year you couldnt stand the other." Instantly the two hands jerked apart and blush decorated the girl's faces
"Oh their friends alright." Marshall Lee winked.
Marshall's father winked back and turned his attention to Fionna "Little Martin." He fist bumped the girl "How's Shada? Ryan? DiMaggio?"
"Finn's fine. We're all fine." She grinned
"Mostly you though" Marshall teased and watched as Fionna blushed
Marshall's father tossed his mother a knowing smile and she winked back "How about Little DiMaggio and Ryan? Are they finally dating?"
"They kissed today." Marceline informed "…and they're together as we speak."
"Young love." The uniformed man said dreamily "well… I had better go inside. I'm dying to take this uniform off." He sighed and walked in followed by Marshall's mother
"He has her like a lost puppy." Marshall Lee teased with a smirk
"So… do you wanna go watch heat signature now?" Fionna smiled
"What about your homework?" Bonnibel laughed
"Later." Marshall Lee said as he slung an arm over Fionna
"Come watch Heat signature with us." Fionna smiled and Marceline nodded. The group of four head towards Fionna and Cake's house.
It was four pm on the dot and Finn was arriving at the skate park. It was lively with the kids that had been uncomfortably stuck at school all day and finally were where they wanted to be. The first thing Finn saw was the large ramp him and Jake used on Saturdays was occupied by a blond figure. The cat backpack was tossed to the side revealing few papers. The skater's blond hair whipped against the wind and Finn slowly approached. Upon sight of the boy, the skater stopped and removed her cat shaped helmet "Dude!" Susan greeted fist bumping him.
"Hey." Finn smiled
"You wanna give it a try?" Susan grinned
"Yeah." He smiled and walked over to the side of the ramp, climbing the stairs.
"Show me what you got." Susan teased and watched as Finn got on the board. Susan was amazed by Finn's ability. I was just unbelievable! The boy was doing Ollies and 360s as if it was nothing! His skateboard had the sickest grip and his tricks…whoa.
"How was that?" Finn asked as he stopped mid pipe.
"Pretty good." Susan laughed
A/A/N
First, I would like to say, I am NOT a skater and I do NOT skate. I am sorry if that part was lame but I really had no idea how to describe that… but I had already dug my grave so might as well right.
Thank you for the reviews! Really! Thank you so much ;_; I feel so happy.
Also, don't hate on Jermaine… he'll get what's coming to him ;)
