Ch18
Jake and Cake rolled on her bed. As soon as Finn had left the two started kissing. All of a sudden, Cake's phone began to vibrate. "Hold on Jake." She said as she looked at the message. "Oh shit." She said as he jumped from the bed.
"What?" He asked surprised. Cake wasn't the one to curse.
"My moms home." She said and hurriedly fixed her top.
Jake walked over to the television and kneeled in front looking through DVDs. When the door opened to reveal the three adults, Jake was putting on Adventure time and Cake was texting. "Oh, mom you're here." Jake smiled

"Thank you!" Was Cake's reply. Fionna had found her phone charging by the microwave, she had forgotten it was there. Luckily, for her…well Jake and Cake, Fionna walked over and saw it.
Fionna grinned at the message "Let's go upstairs."

"I can't believe it!" Finn and Jake heard Finn and Jake's mom say
"Me neither! You two are getting along" The other woman said
"I mean… it did take them like twelve years." The man said laughing
"Funny dad." Cake smirked and rolled her eyes
Finn and Fionna appeared by the door "So…what's going on?" Fionna asked entering the room
"Nothing." Finn and Jake's mom said, "We better go." She sighed
"Why?" Jake asked disappointed and it caused some eyebrows to rise
"You have school tomorrow." Cake's mom said
"Right." Finn said as he entered the room and walked over to where he left his phone.
Finn fist bumped Fionna and Cake before walking down the stairs texting, following the adults. Jake walked over and fist bumped Fionna, who then left. He stood in front of Cake and smiled. "So…" He said sighing
"Yeah." She grinned
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked
"Yeah." She said and put her hand out to be fist bumped too. Jake hesitated before doing it. He grinned back at the girl. Walking closer as he did. Jake heard Cake draw in a breath. When he was only one centimeter away, and saw how fast the blush was spreading on Cake's face he smirked.
"Bye." He laughed and walked away leaving Cake to stare in shock. He just left her hanging!
Cake ran after him laughing "Oh, no you don't!" She grabbed him by the shoulders and planted a kiss on his lips
"Whoa!" She heard Fionna's voice from the staircase "Last time I come up to tell you we're having take-out for dinner." She laughed and walked back down the stairs.
Jake and Cake, blushing, laughed. They walked down the stairs and she walked him to the door. Jake stood outside and Cake inside, they smiled at the other and gave each other a light peck on the lips before Jake walked next door to his open house, as his mom and Finn where already there. That was the third kiss that door had experienced that night… and it was only six thirty something.

Bonnibel and Bubba walked into Bubba's house to see it was empty. "Mom?" He called into the house no reply.
"She must be at my house." Bonnibel said. Bubba re-locked the door and the two walked next door to Bonnibel's house. Bonnibel found her key and unlocked the door. She entered to find her aunt and her father looking at old pictures. "Dad?" Bonnibel asked amazed
"Hi Bubblegum." He smiled at his daughter
"Great you're on time." Her aunt said as she looked at the clock "If we leave in the next half hour we can make our reservations." She grinned at her confused niece "Go get dressed you two." She said, "We're going to Le Atiff." Bubba's mother proudly stated.
Bubba nodded and walked out the house and straight home to change. Bonnibel walked into her room. She felt so confused. Why was her father away from his computer? He was NEVER away from his computer. The only time she knew he was away was when he slept …even in the shower she knew used his PDA! Bonnibel walked into her closet and through her clothing… what would she wear? Fancy but not too fancy… While Bonnibel flipped through her wardrobe, she didn't really see any of her clothes. Her mind was not focusing. Bonnibel Walsh's attention was being divided into two pieces and one of those wasn't her outfit choice of tonight. Her mind was battling out her thoughts over Marceline and her doubts about her father.

When Marceline and Marshall Lee walked into their house, they heard the male and female laughs coming from the kitchen. The two walked silently to the kitchen and stood by the door. Upon looking in, they saw as Marshall's dad was covered in flour and his mom in marinara sauce. The two adults were kissing over the cheese-covered floor. "Umm…" Marceline said and it caused to both stop the kiss and face the teens.
"Hi." Marshall's mother smiled, suppressing a laugh at her son's horrified face.
"We were making pizza… things just got out of hand." Marshall's father grinned
Marshall Lee shook his head with a light chuckle. He pulled out his phone and dialed the familiar number "Hello. Hey Schwalb, let me get a large pepperoni with extra marinara sauce." He looked over as his parents grinned by.
Marceline walked over to the two and helped pick the pepperonis out of her aunt's hair "How do you get pepperoni in you hair?" She laughed and turned to Marshall's amused expression.

"How was school?" The woman with light blond hair and dark blond highlights asked her daughters.
"Its was okay." Fionna smiled
"Cake…you and Jake." The man with the frizzy blond hair laughed, "How that happen?"
Cake blushed and looked down at her take-out spaghetti "Things happened today." Fionna responded for her
"Like?" Her mother asked interested
"Like things." Cake smiled and winked at her sister
"Umm…" Her father raised an eyebrow "Should I be worried?"
Both girls laughed "Maybe a little." Cake responded and at that, her father feigned shock while her mother laughed
X
"How was school guys?" The short dark gold haired woman asked her sons as they ate.
"It was okay." Finn sighed with a smile
"Okay? Jake and Cake are finally getting along and it was just 'okay'?" She laughed, "I mean let's see how long it lasts."

Bonnibel walked down the stairs in time to see Bubba walk in through the door. He was dressed in his pink and purple suit with the cute collar that Bulma had bought for him for a special occasion. Bonnibel was dressed in her pink knee length dress with the purple belt under the breast and her matching purple boots. She had her strawberry blond hair up in a bun with only her short bangs out. Dressed in these colors the two looked like twins. "Ready to go?" Bulma grinned, and the two children nodded. She herself was wearing a pink suit and her brother a light purple one. Bob stared amazed at his daughter…she really had grown up a lot with out him.
He could almost see his wife's disappointed face over his estrangement with their daughter. Shame ran over him as well as guilt. "I have to make this right to you Bubblegum." He thought to himself as his daughter walked over to her pink jacket.

When Bonnibel and Bubba arrived at the restaurant 'Le Atiff', they were seated immediately. His mother was no one people wanted to upset. Although Bonnibel's father was at a higher position, she had the most influences and her opinion mattered… even to a big and known place like 'Le Atiff'. "Are you ready to order?" The waiter asked the table as they looked at the menus.
"Give us a minute please." Bulma smiled sweetly at the waiter and he nodded before walking away. "What do you guys want to eat?" She asked around the table.
Bonnibel looked at her father intensely "Yes, dear?" He smiled at her and it just made her face twist in discomfort.
"Shouldn't you be on your computer?" She said rather rudely
"I thought today would be a nice night for dinner." He stated sadly
"Really?" She asked sarcastically "And the over the past nine years there wasn't a 'nice night'?" She narrowed her eyes before looking down. 'He can't just think that it's going to be okay now.'The angry female voice yelled in her head. Yet her expression remained the same as she looked back to the menu.
"Bonnibel, sweetheart, I'm sorry." The male voice said as if cracking.
The girl didn't even look up. Bubba and his mother looked at the other helplessly; each thinking of anyway to remedy the tension "So… how was school?" Bulma asked her son and niece.
"It was nice." Bubba smiled "New classes… new class mates. It was cool."
"Speaking of classmates, was that Farrah Johnson you went to the museum with?" Bulma smiled and nodded "Humm…." She smiled suggestively and saw as her son blushed. "What about you Bonnibel? Any new crushes?"
Bonnibel looked up from her menu and smiled "You could say." Her aunt raised an eyebrow "Although it's nothing new."
"No?" Bulma said interested and saw Bonnibel's sly smile "Oy! Don't tell me it's that trouble-making boy you and Bubba are friends with. I mean… I have nothing against him, I love his mother…we're good friends, but he's… not the nicest."
"If you mean Marshall Lee, no its not." Bubba laughed, "Marshall Lee is head over heels for Fionna. She has him at the palm of her hand."
"Fionna?" Bulma asked surprised and saw both the kids nod "Then, Bonnibel?"
Bonnibel looked over at her father who was staring "Marceline." She said with a burst of confidence she had never experienced before
"Marceline? Marceline Olson?" Bulma asked, as if making sure she heard right. Bonnibel nodded with a smile "Whoa."
Bonnibel saw, as her father was so shocked he couldn't speak. "Whoa." He repeated
Bonnibel and Bubba laughed at their expressions. "So you're…?" Bob asked speaking for the first time in the topic
"A lesbian?" Bonnibel said plainly "Yes." She smiled lightly "…and you have no idea how good it feels to finally get that off my chest." Her smile broadened
Bubba put a hand behind her back and patted in a congratulating manner "Well… as long as you're happy." Bulma smiled as well.
"Yeah." Bob smiled "My opinion might not matter… I ignored you for so long… but Bonnibel you should know I'm deeply sorry. If I could take back all those years, I would. In a heartbeat. I love you, baby, and what ever makes you happy makes me happy. I'm sorry." He said as the tears began to form. He stretched his hand and grabbed his daughter's.
Bonnibel smiled "I forgive you." … "I mean he is trying." The female voice reasoned in Bonnibel's head.
"Yay!" Bulma said with a huge grin "Waiter?" She called out and the four watched as three waiters hurried over to attend the table. Yeah, Bulma Harris was not one you wanted unhappy.

"How was school?" The man said as he took a bite of the pepperoni pizza. The four were sitting in the kitchen that Marceline and Marshall Lee had to clean up while the adults re-showered.
"It was okay." Marceline smiled
"Yeah. After school was so much better." Marshall winked
"How'd it go with Fionna?" Marshall Lee's father asked him
"Pretty dam good." Marshall smiled before taking another bite
"What about you Marceline?" Her aunt asked "Anyone?"
"Umm… Yeah." She smiled
"Not another Ash please." Mr. Basco said laughing lightly
"No... It's Bonnibel." Marceline said smiling as she picked the pepperoni of her pizza and ate it.
"Oh, really? She's cute." Marshall's father said.
Marceline lifted her head confused "Huh?"
Marceline turned to Marshall's smug expression "I told you it would be cool."
Marceline turned back to the nonchalant adults "You don't care that I'm-"
"A lesbian?" Mrs. Basco asked with an eyebrow raised "No." She took another bite "You are who you are."
"I was expecting it." Teased the man "I just wasn't expecting it with her."
"Why?" Marceline asked her face still contorted in confusion
"You two are so different." Mrs. Basco said with another bite of her pizza
"Opposites attract." Marshall grinned and the others cracked a smile at the boy.

~Time~
The Harris' car pulled into their driveway as well as the Walsh's. The people emptied out the cars and walked over to the other. "Well goodnight honey." Bulma said hugging her niece, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay. Goodnight Bubba." Bonnibel said hugging her cousin as well
"Night." Bubba said as he waved to his uncle and hurried into his house as Bonnibel did the same.
"Well, Bob, how do you feel?" Bulma asked her brother
"Like her mother should be here." He sighed, before smiling "She would see her and be so proud." Her looked back at his sister and surprised her with a hug "You did a great job. Thank you."
"You're very welcome. It was my pleasure." She smiled and looked up to Bonnibel's room window; the light was just turned on. The two said their goodnights and went into their separate homes.

"Marceline, look." Marshall Lee said into Marceline's room as she played her bass. Marceline looked up followed him out her room to his. He smiled and nodded towards the window.
Bonnibel and Bubba had just gotten home "She looks…beautiful." Marceline smiled as she looked at Bonnibel's figure from the distance of three houses over.
"You should… go." Marshall Lee grinned and received a bewildered expression as a response "To see her better."
"What's in it for you?" Marceline laughed
"What? I can't get enjoyment out of helping my favorite cousin who is like a sister?" He asked innocently
"Marshall, I'm your only cousin who is like a sister. In fact, I'm your only cousin." Marceline teased
"Fine. I wanna go see Fionna." Marshall blushed a bit
Marceline laughed "…and you need me to go with you because?"
"You know my mom isn't going to let me go without you." He rolled his eyes "I don't know why but she trusts you more."
"Fine." Marceline smiled and grabbed her bass. Marshall Lee grinned as he grabbed his and followed his cousin out the room.
"Where are you two going?" Mrs. Basco asked
"Out." Marshall said as he headed for the door
"And when will you be returning?" The male voice said from the side next to the female
"Soon." Marceline reassured with a smile "We're just going to Bonnibel's and Fionna's houses." Upon receiving Okays from the adults, the two walked out the door.
"Such a good girl." Marshall Lee teased as he walked in the direction of Fionna's house.
"Trouble-maker." She teased back with a laugh and headed to Bonnibel's house.

Lalala… Yeah… I love you …
Sorry, Pero, no sequel. Although I'm going to have to make more than two more chapters… But not a lot! I don't want to make this too long… Jermaine and LSP… Humm… I could see that happening… Let me see… See in my original outline for this story Jermaine was going to die… but what's worse, dying and having your family mourn over your death OR live in pain, lose your crush to your brother, be hospitalized for weeks, having to go through phone withdrawal, and having to deal with your parents over all this? I mean, he crashed LSP's car. His parents are going to have to pay for it. In addition, his medical bills AND any tutoring he's going to need to take if they want him to graduate by June. I actually feel bad for him. xD But he dug his own grave after he compared Cake to a toy.
Author fact: Jermaine is based up on my annoying sister. The middle child does have it the worst… annoyed from both ends… -.-
Anyways… I am going to start chapter 19 right now! :D
