I found out that you could change the rating of stories, so I changed it. It's not really planned to be M until later later on.

I hope you enjoy! Reviews are greatly appreciated

"J-Jake?! What the stuff, man?! I told you not to come in when I'm jammin'!", Marceline hissed with a flustered face that made her cheeks the shade of her deep red Fender Precision bass.

"You let them hear it too?!"

She saw Rain and I and took off and raised her bass in anger, but she would never have the guts to throw it. It looked old but well maintained. It had stickers of various shapes and colors on it.

"Gragh! I'll kill you!", yelled a flustered Queen.

"Hey! Chill, Marceline. You're great at everything music, so it's fine. Besides, they were gonna listen in anyway", Jake reassured.

"W-whatever, man. You know my solo jam sessions are totes private. Knock or something next time."

The Queen's anger subsided, and she put down the bass and held onto its neck while the end of its body gently touched the floor.

"Unlike what you did in the office this morning.", I added.

"Hey there, Bonnibel.", she taunted and wiggled around her free fingers at me in the form of some distasteful wave.

"Hey, Marceline.", I droned unamused as I crossed my arms.

It was hard to believe that the person who just made the most tantalizing tones come out of an old guitar was this person.

"I need to talk to you about this morning as soon as you're done."

"Ok, Princess, but practice comes first. Wouldn't want to be terrible during the oh-so important festival.", she mocked.

I gave a low growl in response, since I had little tolerance for this person's arrogant attitude, but I didn't mind the sweet sounds that came from her bass. She put the bass's strap back on, rested the bass gently on her shoulders, and started to tune the old thing. Jake went over to a rack that was at the far right of the room and took out his viola case. Rain and I took a spot towards the left of the room to face four fairly large speakers.

"Hey, Jake. Where's Finn?", asked Marceline as she skillfully turned the white knobs on her bass.

"I dunno. He should be here soon. If not, then I'll give him a call. Little buddy has me worried all the time.", Jake responded as he took out a bright yellow guitar with a small sticker of a worm on it.

"It's not like him to be late, ya know?", said Marceline.

As if on cue, Finn crashed through the doors, panting hard and sweating slightly. His little arms (compared to his brother) were sticking out of a sleeveless, white hoodie that was over a simple, bright blue t-shirt. His denim shorts, worn and torn, had some grass stains on it along with parts of his calf. Tired black sneakers were clinging desperately to his feet. Last but not least, his treasured white knit hat rested on his golden locks of hair that extenuated his innocent, shining blue eyes. The distinguishing feature of his hat were the small little nubs on the top which resembled bear ears.

"I. Ha. I'm sorry. I'm late. Marceline.", panted Finn.

"Calm down, dude. What's up? You're not ever late for practice."

As Finn recollected himself, he answered the Queen.

"I was just hanging out with Fia, but I lost track of time and yeah."

He started to rub the back of his head and gave out a small chuckle. It looked like he was blushing a little bit too. Does our little Finn have a crush on someone?

"Whatevs. Come on; get on the drums.", commanded the Queen with a small smirk on her face.

He sprung to the makeshift stage and sat in his seat behind a plain, green, medium-sized drum set. He held a pair of drumsticks; one colored red and the other yellow. Jake plugged his guitar into an amp and started tuning up. Suddenly, someone came in through the door. It was a lanky girl with an afro. She had this laid back aura around her like Marceline. I think I saw her photo somewhere in the school newspaper before.

"Ugh, way to show up on time Keila.", Marceline said with sarcastic disgust.

"Ahaha. You know me, my Queen. I'm just fashionably late.", responded Keila with this sultry, smooth voice.

She had a guitar gig bag strapped on her back. It was covered in stickers that matched Marceline's. She had on this long sleeved, pale green dress that exposed one of her shoulders. The dress stopped a little above the midpoint of her thigh, and she had white knee socks on along that sprouted from her matching pale green flats. All of this pale green that she had on, in my opinion, complemented her skin tone that reminded me of chocolate milk. I watched her as she unzipped her bag to reveal a sparkling emerald green Fender Stratocaster with a white pearl pickguard. She went to the rest of the group, plugged in her guitar, and started tuning up like the rest of the group.

"Hey, Jake. Mind giving me the low E?", asked Keila.

"Sure thing, Kei."

Jake, with his guitar on his shoulders, repeatedly played a deep sound until Keila gave him the signal to stop.

"Thanks, dude."

"Alright. Now that we're all here, what songs would you like to hear, ladies?.", Marceline asked with that arrogant tone of hers. She was facing me and Rain.

"Something tasteful.", I challenged.

"Something cool!", Rain added.

"Tasteful and cool, eh?"

Marceline looked over to her band, and she saw that they knew what song to play out of their repertoire. They all made eye contact with the Queen as she telepathically told them the song title. A kick of the bass drum and hit of a low tom started the song. Everyone displayed parts of their talents in the introduction. Finn and Jake were perfectly in sync when it came to rhythm. Keila and Marceline were doing their own thing, but that was because of their lead positions. Marceline inhaled a good amount of air and started to let her beautiful voice flow from her lips.

"Just like the fish that swim around inside the vast, blue sky,

and like the whale that flaps its fin as it tries to fly,

I was born into this place; I never wondered why,

but all my dreams were far beyond my reach,

and I would cry!

So tell me why; please tell me why

I'm standing here beneath the bitter, pounding rain.

If all of this is just a dream,

I'll close my eyes and find my way to you!"

I was completely taken aback from everyone's immense talents, and Marceline's bass solo. When she sang, I could clearly see her sharp canine teeth, which means she puts more effort in being precise about singing than talking.

"Searching for a way to find the happiness inside,

I found a place that'd lead me to the answer in my mind.

And washed away by tears that fall, just like the rain outside,

was the only lie I kept inside the one I failed to hide?!

Where do I go? Where do I go?

I swim inside a maze; no light to shine the way.

Even if this is just a dream,

I'll close my eyes and find my way to you again!"

Throughout the song, I saw how passionate all of them looked, especially Marceline. Her eyes as she was singing were locked onto an invisible audience that was slightly above my head. She was imagining a larger audience in front of her, as if she was actually at the school festival or maybe somewhere greater. I kept watch on her long, dextrous fingers as they spidered their ways up and down the neck of the bass. Everyone was skilled, but I took particular notice in Marceline. I didn't expect her skills to be this good. She seemed like she was too relaxed to be so passionate about anything.

Small beads of sweat were starting to form and roll off of Marceline's face. It was the same with Finn and Jake. Keila looked less tired. I guess she was the more experienced one of the group. That, or she just doesn't try during practice. They all took a gulp from a nearby water bottle and waited for our reactions.

Rain clapped and shouted in Korean a word of praise. She gasped a little bit at her slip and corrected herself.

"That is good! It's a cool song!"

Everyone knew what Rain's reaction was going to be, but now everyone fixated their eyes on me, the student council president who hired these guys to perform during the school festival to save budget money. I haven't heard how the music club sounded before, since I was too busy with things academic and otherwise to have time, but they were popular among the student body and even some staff members, and now I know why.

"That was. . .", I breathed.

I practically heard Finn's eyes grow larger.

"It was really great.", I admitted. "I didn't expect something so amazing. This is, like, professional level work!" I became a little too excited and stood up from my seat, which was a cheap but slightly worn couch.

"Haha! Looks like we got the student council prez to be a groupie!", laughed Marceline as she flipped her long mess of hair.

I flushed deeply at the thought.

"I-I just like your music is all!", I defended.

I just like your music.

Long chapter is long. I used "Air Aquarium" by nano. I really like this singer and use her voice for Marceline's when she's singing, but I love Marceline's voice actress also!

How frequently should these things be updated? I've been kinda working on the bartending story, so I'm just wondering.
