The car ride was mostly silent with Bonnibel occasionally asking what the lyrics were in the songs Marceline was playing.
"How can you not understand what it says?"
"Because they sound all screechy! How is that even singing?"
"They're screaming."
"Doesn't sound like screaming to me."
"How have you not heard this kind of music before? Have you been living in a cave?"
"If this is the only kind of music you listen to, I think you're the one who has been living in a cave!"
Bonnie laid back comfortably in her chair examining the car.
"That girl was right, you do have a sexy car."
"Yeah? My brother helped me pick it out."
"You have a brother?"
"Sure do, Marshal Lee, he's a good kid."
"You'll have to introduce me sometime."
"You can meet him right now."
Bonnie looked up to see them pulling into a driveway. The house before them was a light purple with a dark purple roof, the grass was full and green and they had a small white fence in the front yard.
"We're at your house?"
"Yeah I hope that's okay, I thought we should get changed first before getting lunch." Marceline looked at Bonnie, "I wouldn't want my princess to catch a cold."
"Does that mean we're stopping at my house too?"
"No it's cool, you can borrow something of mine if you like."
Marceline got out the car quickly sliding over the bonnet and opened the door for Bonnie offering her, her hand.
"My lady."
"You don't have to do this for me like you did for that other girl."
"I think every girl should be treated special, especially my beautiful princess."
Bonnie blushed at Marceline's comment but quickly shook it off annoyed at Marceline's persistence. She shot up out of the car pushing Marceline's hand to the side.
"Well you should go find her so you can treat her like she's special."
The two girls entered the house to find Marshal Lee on the couch playing a video game on their big television. He had a pale complexion like Marceline, black hair like Marceline and pretty much dressed the same as Marceline, it was obvious that they were twins.
"Hey Marcy!" He said,eyes not leaving the screen. A moment later he made a wrong move and died, throwing his controller on the ground and spilling out a few curse words he decided to get off the couch for the first time in a few hours.
"Oh hello Marceline's friend." He looked over to Marceline, "Do you want me to leave for a bit?"
"Haha no!" Marceline put her arm around Bonnie's shoulders, "I'm taking this cutie out to lunch."
"Okay then I'll be gone by the time you get back right?" Marshal Lee winked at Bonnie leaving her wondering clueless what they were talking about.
Bonnie looked up to Marceline, "Why would he have to leave?"
Marceline let out a slight giggle at how innocent Bonnie was, as did Marshal Lee. "Don't listen to him princess, he's just being a dweeb."
Marceline and Bonnie headed upstairs to Marceline's bedroom. Marceline picked out a pair of black skinny jeans, a white band shirt and a leather jacket for herself and a pair of red skinny jeans and a black band shirt for Bonnibel.
She handed Bonnie the clothes as Bonnie sat on her bed, "Here, I'll go to the bathroom to change, just let me know when you're done okay?" Marceline smiled at Bonnie before she left the room, shutting the door behind her.
"Well at least she didn't expect me to change in front of her." Bonnie said to herself as she began to change into the clothes. The jeans were a little long but other than that everything fit perfectly. When she was done she quickly left the room to find Marceline, she didn't want to be alone in her room or worse, alone with Marceline in her room.
Bonnie creaked open the door to find no sign of Marceline, only the sound of her and her brother whispering from downstairs. She crept down the stairs slightly so she could hear what they were saying.
"You never bring girls here, what makes this girl so special?"
"We just needed to get changed, don't make it into a big deal."
"It's just weird Marcy, do you like her?"
"I don't know, I just enjoy her company."
"Are you going to be seeing more of her?"
Their whispering started to turn into yelling.
"Hey get off my back, it's none of your business who I spend my time with."
"You haven't brought someone home since Ash, that's why it's so weird."
"Don't talk about Ash!"
"Then talk to me Marcy, tell me what's going on!"
"There's nothing to talk about. She's straight anyway, so there's nothing there."
Bonnie ran but up the stairs into Marceline's room as she heard Marceline walking towards the stairs, well stomping was what it sounded like. Bonnie sat on Marceline's bed and looked up as Marceline opened the door with no warning wearing a sweet smile.
"Hey princess, ready for lunch?"
She seemed to be in a completely different mood to what she sounded like downstairs.
"Hey! I could have been getting changed, you should learn to knock!"
Marceline giggled as she took her sunglasses off of her side table and put them on.
"Come on, let's go."
Bonnie chose not to mention that she had heard her conversation with her brother, she was usually quite nosy but wanted to respect Marceline's privacy. To no surprise Marceline opened the car door for Bonnibel being the gentleman that she was. The car ride was mostly quiet, Bonnie assumed that Marceline was trying to hide her anger from before as best she could while Bonnie spent her time wondering who Ash was and why even the mention of his name was enough to make Marceline yell at her brother.
They had been driving for quite a long time before they came to a stop by the beach.
"The beach?"
"Yeah, there's a killer yiros place here that I haven't been to in a while, I hope that's okay."
"It's beautiful."
Bonnie stared at the sparkling blue ocean with wide eyes, she hadn't been to the beach in a long time.
"You look like you've never seen the ocean before."
"I haven't, for a long time. I never lived in a town anywhere near the sea so it was a hassle to go."
"I like to walk along the beach to clear my head, it's always too cold to swim in though."
"I'm surprised it's not raining."
"Don't jinx it princess!"
Bonnie sat at the small yiros restaurant while Marceline ordered, she insisted that she should order since Bonnie had never had a yiros before. Bonnie ate hers in five minutes not stopping to properly enjoy it, she was incredibly hungry.
"Woah slow down tiger."
"I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten all day."
"Why haven't you eaten all day?"
Marceline gave Bonnie a look for concern.
"I skipped breakfast then I was trapped on the roof all day, not much time for food really."
"Sweetie you really have to eat breakfast, it's better for your health. I eat at least two packets of strawberries for breakfast each day."
Bonnie was surprised at how much she believed Marceline's concern, she understood why people were so sucked into Marceline's charm.
"It was just a one off thing, I usually eat like a pig."
"Well would you like to get some ice cream then while we're here?"
"I'd like that."
Bonnie smiled sweetly before shaking her head leaving the trance she was in while looking into Marceline's eyes. They both stood up and walked over to the counter, Bonnie thought the price of $27 for two wraps was ridiculous.
"Marceline, here's my share."
"Don't be silly princess, I got this one." Marceline gave her a playful wink as she handed her money over.
The two girls walked along the beach eating ice cream enjoying each other's company.
"You really know how to make a girl feel special don't you?"
"Do I?"
"Oh come on! No guy would open a car door for a girl."
"Well I'm not a guy am I? I'm sure if I was the girl would just be all over me." She finished her sentence in a sarcastic tone.
"Aren't they already?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just rumors I've heard."
"Like…?"
Bonnie realized that she had said too much but knew she couldn't go back now.
"Well just that you've kissed every cute girl in the school."
"And what if I have?"
"Well…I…I guess that's your business then."
Bonnie tried to hide the blush that crept onto her cheeks.
"You shouldn't listen to everything people tell you princess."
"So you haven't kissed every cute girl in the school?"
"I admit, I have kissed a lot of people. But if I go on a date with someone of course I'm going to kiss them, like you over heard that girl talking about in the toilets. A lot of girls seem to ask me out on dates or find me at parties."
Bonnie looked up to Marceline's face who looked genuinely upset, this made her feel bad for bringing it up.
"I don't want you to think I'm some kind of whore or something."
"No, I would never think that."
"I'm assuming that you heard that I've slept with everyone too."
Bonnie stayed silent, she didn't want to make Marceline feel any worse. Marceline decided to sit on the sand looking out into the ocean, Bonnie took a seat next to her.
"I moved to our high school in year 10 after I broke up with my boyfriend. I became friends with this girl Ruby who was a little younger than me but she was cool. At a party one night she kissed me in front of everyone and everyone just seemed to assume I was gay. After that, girls who were still in the closet asked me if I'd sleep with them. I don't know why I did it, I guess I just told myself I was helping them when really it was just a distraction from how lost I felt inside. I guess the only good that came out of it is that I discovered that I liked girls. Oh wow I've been rambling on for a while, sorry for dumping all this on you Bonnie, I'm usually not this open."
"You can vent to me anytime you like Marceline."
"Yeah but considering we just met…"
"Doesn't change the fact that I'm here for you. I'm happy to make a friend on my first day."
"Bonnie."
Bonnie turned to look at Marceline who was closer to her face than she thought she was. Marceline put her hand on Bonnie's cheek and pulled her into a kiss. Bonnie sat still as she kissed Marceline back, she didn't know whether it was the mood that was created or if she was really falling for the girl in front of her. What she did know is that Marceline was a wonderful kisser, her lips were soft, beautiful and tasted of strawberry ice cream.
