I wake up wearily and in pain. You see, it has only been a day or two since I broke up with my abusive boyfriend, Ash. He always beat me up when I did something wrong. The reason I never told anyone is because it would only makes everything worse. I finally got rid of him when he sold Hambo, a very important stuffy of mine.

I look at the clock; it's 9:00am. I have to get up for work. I go and have a shower, the hot water burns at my bruises. After the shower, I go and put on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt that covers my purple and blue arms. My face isn't as far as different as my arms, so I cover my face with concealer. After my face is bruise free, I go and get an apple from my fridge. Its bright red soon turns to a dull gray as I drink its vibrant color.

I work at a café in the Candy Kingdom, where Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum rules. I am sweeping the floor when someone that I have never seen before walks in.

The boy that walks in has a peculiar hat on. The hat is white and covers his entire head except for his face. The hat has two ear-like lumps on the top of it. Next to him walks an orange dog.

I say in the perkiest voice I can find, "Hi. What can I get you?"

The boy says enthusiastically, "We were just looking for Princess Bubblegum, has she been here?"

I reply, "No, I haven't seen her today."

The boy says, "Thank you…"

Clearly he wants my name, so I say, "Marceline."

The dog says, "Nice to meet you, Marceline. I'm Jake and this is Finn."

They leave before I can say anything else. After awhile, a girl with pink hair walks in.

I say tauntingly, "Hi, Bonnie."

She hates that nickname, therefore I use it.

Then she says, "Hi, Marceline I would like my usual," The tone in her voice is fill of distaste.

Bonnie dislikes me and obviously thinks I am not good enough.

Before I turn to make her tea I say, "Two guys came in looking for you, I think their names were Finn and Jake."

Bonnie says, "They are two of my knights."

After work, I go home and work on my music. I play a red ax-base guitar. I love to sing as well, my music goes back to when I was little.

There is a knock at the door; I open the door to see Finn and Jake.

Jake says, "Hey Marceline, we were wondering if you want to come watch a movie with us and some of our friends?"

I say, "Sure, but how did you find out were I live?"

Finn says, "We asked Princess Bubblegum."

They bring me to their tree house. Bonnie is there. Jake and Finn leave and say they would be back soon with BMO, Lady Rainicorn and Flame Princess. Just Bonnie and me. She looks away from me and pretends I'm not there. Honestly, I have a crush on her, so I go and sit next to her.

After a bit, I say, "How have you been?"

She looks at me like I'm crazy, but says, "Honestly, I have been stressed, you?"

Hiding the whole dilemma concerning Ash, I say, "Fine."

Then we fall into a deep silence, a very empty silence. It seems the world itself had stopped, like life is frozen.

It stays like that until Bonnie says, "Why do you call me Bonnie?"

I say, "I don't know, I like the sound of it."

Bonnie looks at me shocked and says, "You like…"

Finn and Jake walk in and end our conversation.

BMO is a living videogame; Lady is Jakes girlfriend and Bonnie's companion. Flame Princess is Finn's girlfriend. Bonnie dislikes her. Almost more than me but Bonnie has reasons to dislike Flame Princess.

Before we can start the movie, there is a knock at the door.

Finn yells when he gets to the door, "WHAT DO YOU WANT, ICE KING?"

My face loses expression; the Ice King is, special to me, in a way.

The Ice King says, "I heard that you guys were watching a movie and I want to watch too."

Jake says, "Fine, only because if you're with us you can't go around stealing princesses."

They come in the room with the Ice King. He comes and sits next to me. After we watch the movie, we all hang out.

I get up to leave and say, "It's getting late, I am going to go home."

Before I take a step, I feel a cool hand touch my leg. I turn to see Bonnie, and she quickly lets go and I leave. I am not to far when Bonnie is suddenly next to me.

She says, "I need to talk to you."
