Ch19
"Hello?" The female voice said from the other end of the phone line.
"Hi." Bubba said shyly
"Bubba?" She asked, surprise and joy evident in her tone
"Yeah, it's me, Farrah." He smiled to himself. Bubba sat on his bed with his cell phone.
"What's up?" She asked enthusiastically
"Nothing… I just wanted to call you" He smiled "…and tell you that Jermaine is okay." He added haste fully.
"I'm glad." She said happily.
"Farrah, do you… want… to…umm…" He sighed, "Why is it so easy for Marshall Lee?" He thought to himself.
"Go out again?" She said for him
"Yes." He laughed
"Sure!" She exclaimed, "We should go to the amusement park opening next week."
"You like amusement parks?" He asked surprised
"Of course! I'm not all books you know." At that he laughed
"What's it called?" He asked
"The Candy Kingdome." She replied, "You should invite your friends. We can all go as a group."
"Umm…" He said
"Unless, you don't want Fionna to see us together." She said almost sadly
"What? No!" He said but couldn't help to smile at her tone "I would love for all of us to go."
"Great." She replied, "So when should we go?"

"Finn, you have enough video games." The man whined
"…but that this is BEEMO!" Finn whined back "It's got every game! It's a camera and it plays music. I have to have it." Finn pleaded
"Where did you even see this toy?" His mother asked as she sat on the couch next to the man. Finn had been down in the living room with them pitching his idea for fifteen minutes. He had interrupted the man from watching his shows and the woman from reading her book.
"Susan had one." Finn said nonchalantly
"Susan, eh?" His mom made a suggestive gesture
"No!" Finn blushed in embarrassment
"Isn't that the girl you were skating with?" His dad asked nonchalantly
"We are just friends!" Finn said defensively
"Alright, sure you are." The man said laughing "As friends as Jake and Cake."
"Now don't you start with that." His wife scolded
"What?" He said innocently
"Can I get Beemo?" Finn said changing the subject
"Fine. IF you promise to continue behaving." His mother sighed
"Yes!" Finn jumped in the air and both adults laughed at his actions.
"Where is Jake anyway?" Asked the man as he was finally going to be able to watch his shows
"He's talking to Cake on his cell." Finn said as he walked over to the comfy chair.
"Told you so." The man laughed at his wife
"Oh, shut it." She grumbled

"What do four make outs, past second base and secret phone calls make us?" Jake laughed
"What do you want it to make us?" Cake teased
"Cake, I want to…wait." He said as he walked to his window and opened it. "Open your window."
Cake complied and walked to her window and opened it. The two smiled as they saw each other "Yeah?"
"Cake, I want to be your boyfriend." He stated plainly with a smile. His smile widened at Cake's blush.
"Well, Jake, I want to be your girlfriend." Cake smiled back.
The two stared at the other smiling before Jake turned to side. He furrowed his eyebrows "Is that Marceline?" He asked
"What?" Cake asked and turned to see Marceline walking up to Bonnibel's doorstep. "It is." She said before laughing.

Marceline rang the doorbell and was surprised to be answered by Bonnibel's father. "Oh… Hello." She said awkwardly. Every time she had seen the man, he was behind a computer desk.
"Marceline." He smiled "Hello. Bonnibel's upstairs."
"Can I…go talk to her?" Marceline asked as the man ushered her in.
"Sure. As long as talking is all you're doing." He smiled knowingly
Marceline blushed in embarrassment "Father!" Bonnibel's unhappy voice sounded from the stairs
"What?" He asked innocently before walking away to his bedroom, which was on the first floor.
"I'm sorry about that." Bonnibel smiled and continued down the stairs. "What did you need?"
"Umm… nothing." Marceline shrugged "Marshall Lee wanted to go see Fionna and they wouldn't let him leave without me."
"Ah." Bonnibel said
"That… and I came to see your dress." Marceline grinned
"My what?" Bonnibel asked surprised
"I saw you from my window. That dressed looked amazing on you."
Bonnibel blushed "Oh… that."
"You kept the shirt?" Marceline looked at Bonnibel's pajamas. A black rock and roll shirt with pale pink shorts.
"Of course I did. It was a birthday present from my old best friend back when I was twelve." Bonnibel smiled "I wear it as pajamas all the time."
"Old best friend?" Marceline teased
"Yeah." Bonnibel looked down and back up; she was smiling so cutely "I think we're more than that now."
"Of course we are." Marceline smiled as she held Bonnibel's waist "So much more." Bonnibel tilted her head and brushed a lock of dark hair from Marceline's face, before kissing her.

When Marshall Lee crossed the street, he realized the hole in his plan. How was he supposed to get to Fionna with her parents at home? As if by divine help, at that moment, Fionna walked out the door with a large trash bag. "Fi?" Marshall asked with a laugh
"Marshall Lee, what are you doing here?" Fionna asked confused. She put the bag next to the trashcan that was on the right side of the house, the blind spot.
"Marceline went to see Bonnibel…so I came to you." He smiled, as he got closer. He walked with Fionna to her front door and both sat on the porch stairs. "Don't you have to be inside?"
"Naww." She sighed "Cake is on the phone with Jake I think, my mom and dad are over at Finn and Jake's and Finn is probably too happy over that he convinced his parents to buy him a Beemo to talk about anything else.
"Bummer." He teased
"What about you?" She said looking at him, while she petted her curtain of hair
"My parents are being all lovey dubey." He rolled his eyes.
The two shared the silence before Fionna turned her head to face him, a smirk in place. "Why are you so stubborn?" Fionna randomly asked
"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow in confusion
"Why is it so hard for you to do things?" She said, amusement evident
"Like?" He laughed
"For the love of glob!" Fionna laughed and grabbed his head as she forcefully yanked him to kiss her. When she pulled back, she saw the blush and shock on his face "I've been waiting for you to do that for the past ten minutes we've been here."
Recovering fast he laughed and his smirk returned, "Why didn't you just ask?" Tenderly he caressed her cheek and leaned forwards kissing her gently.

Jermaine flipped through the channels of the hospital television. He was so bored! Not only was he in extreme pain, he was sure that there was no way he'd be able to get to LSP's party. She probably cancelled it and now he has all the people she invited mad at him. His popularity was going the drain! Those last three years he worked so hard to earn it and now, it was lost over one day. His fingers itched. He wanted- no needed his phone back. As he tried to sit up, his back pained and his muscles ached. He tried to use his hands as support but even moving his broken arm was excruciating while his wrist seemed to be glued on. It had no movement under all its bandages. Anxiety crept in as the realization followed. He was going to be here a while. "Jermaine?" Luna Stella princess' voice came from the door.
"Yeah?" Jermaine snapped to attention. Thankful for the interaction.
"How are you doing?" She asked getting closer. She sat on the bed.
"I'm good. Shouldn't you be at your party?" He asked fearful. Her mouth moved to say something but he interrupted "Please don't tell you cancelled it!"
"No." She smiled "Lance Stanley Prince is taking care of the party."
"Than why are you here?" He asked confused
"You almost got yourself killed trying to tell me about my ex-boyfriend and my traitor friend… that was really cool of you." She smiled "I so got her off the invited list."
"C'mon LSP!" Jermaine laughed, "We've been together in every class since third grade. Besides, Angela totes deserved it!" Jermaine muttered the last part. He remembers last year when he asked her out and she not only turned him down but also published it on Facebook. Getting her kicked out of LSP's circle of friends was just revenge… but of course, he couldn't tell the lavender haired beauty that. Being her friend opened doors, while being her enemy was not something you wanted to do. Of course, there were people she didn't mess with, like Bonnibel and Bubba due to their parent's influences. Marceline and Marshall Lee, since they were close to the principal and Marshall's father was a general in the U.S. military. Finn and Fionna because they would get physical easily and Jake and Cake because… well just because Cake would get physical too and Jake didn't really care what she had to say.
"True." LSP laughed. Other than her brother, Jermaine was the most popular boy in the school. He was also cute and he knew every ounce of gossip in Pendleton-Allegri High. If they went out, they would be the ultimate power couple. The thought crossed her mind before she whipped back reality "I just came to tell you that my parents aren't going to make your parents pay for the car damages and my father even offered to represent you for the trial."
"Trial?" Jermaine asked confused
"It's illegal to text and drive." LSP stated
"How much time am I facing?" Jermaine bit his lip in fear
"If my daddy represents you, and since you didn't cause anyone but yourself any damage, you might get away with community service…for a year." She trailed off
"A whole year!" He jerked up, and squeaked in pain as the movement tensed his muscles
"Relax!" She said as she helped him lay down. "It's better than juvi for three."
"Ughh! Why did Angela have to date brad?" Jermaine groaned, "She knew someone would tell me and I would text you!" LSP laughed and joined in on blaming Angela for Jermaine's accident.
A/A/N
Jake and Cake were sly enough to not be caught. I made it this way on purpose to show that this actually happens. That's what your children could be doing and as soon as they realize you're coming, they act as if nothing was going on. About the lesbian acceptance thing, I realized it seemed kinda unbelievable…sorry. What I was thinking was that Marceline was going to be accepted no matter, and that Bonnibel's dad had no say over it. So if he was cool with it or not, tough, she wasn't going to change for him. Bulma is supposed to be the happy and fun loving free spirit. Think hippie.
Thank you for the reviews. In addition, lots of sympathy for my middle sibling friends out there. Eventually the oldest leaves and you just gotta deal with the little one. Scare them one night; they'll leave you alone… for a while. However, enough about my brother and why he's afraid of the dark at fifteen please review!
