Thank you for the reviews, follows, favorites, and just views in general! Classes have started, so updating might go to once a week. I still have a few backup chapters to release before I have to start writing in real-time though.

I do not own any rights to Adventure Time whatsoever

After about an album more of similar songs, the band started packing up and relaxing.

"Phew! That was some work.", sighed Marceline as she wiped her forehead with her free forearm. "Great job, everybody."

Jake called out of nowhere, "Finn? Where ya goin', buddy?"

Finn was about to sneak out of the door successfully, but he was caught by his guard dog of an older brother. He turned around sheepishly and gave Jake a small, toothy grin.

"I promised Fia that I would walk her home after practice."

"What. She just hung around school until band practice was done? Why didn't she just listen in or something?", questioned Jake.

"Well.", muttered Finn, "She's got softball practice too. Plus, I don't wanna show her the band until I get good enough, you know?"

Marceline caught wind of the conversation and floated over from the amp that her bass guitar was connected to.

"Is our band isn't good enough for your fiery princess?", Marceline half-joked.

"No! We're awesome as a band! But I just wanna get better before I show her how I play. You know I messed up halfway through the third song."

Sensing the strange amount of concern that Finn had for his drum playing, which I thought was perfect, Marceline gave Finn a sly smirk.

"Hmm? What's this, Finn? You never cared that much about playing. Didn't you say, like, 'I just do whatever, and that's good enough for me.'?" She mocked and mimicked Finn and gave him a raised eyebrow that expected an answer.

"Hey! Knock it off, Marceline.", Jake demanded. Marceline backed down from her joking a little, but Jake then took the place of Marceline.

"Ain't it obvious that Finny has a little crushy-wushy on Fia?", taunted Jake now with an arm around his younger brother.

Finn tried to push his older brother off but not with any malicious intent. He was just embarrassed about having a crush, or that's what I thought.

"Stop it, guys!", Finn defended, " I just like being with her 'cause she's my age."

The whole room that was giggling and smiling at the thought of our good friend having a crush on someone suddenly became gloomy and serious. He was right. All of us, including Keila, were going to be graduating from this place soon. If he didn't make friends that were around his age, he'd be lonely. Although he has enough charisma to make as many friends as he wants, he never really had close friends other than people who were older than him. This Fia was the only one that he probably was close with at his age. Finn is friendly, but that doesn't mean that he always has the kinds of friends that he wants.

Finn sensed the awkwardness in the air that he created with that statement and tried to break it.

"Well, maybe I do have a little, little crush on her.", he emphasised the tiny amount through a small hand gesture. The rest of us lit back up and started lightly teasing little Finn. I started to laugh a little bit at Marceline's and Keila's impression of Finn and Fia, which caused Finn to severely blush and playfully beg for mercy. We all had our good laugh and let Finn go to get Fia. Jake ruffled Finn's hair, and Finn gave us his little boy smile that was wide and bright before he took off.

The seniors started to look at each other and feel slightly guilty.

"You know, I never thought of that before.", confessed Keila.

"That we're actually graduating?", Jake filled in.

"That we're leaving everyone else behind."

"It is a happy something, but we are being sad.", chimed Rain.

Marceline, with a concerned look on her face, went up to me and said,

"Hey, Princess."

"What is it?"

"Mind if we hold off our little interrogation for later?"

I, personally, grew tired after the thought of leaving and separating from the people who I've been with for many years came into my mind.

"I don't mind.", I claimed, "But we do need to talk eventually."

"Ahaha. Okay then.", she laughed.

Marceline then went to Jake, Rain, and Keila who were talking about old memories, and future sorrows.

"Come on, guys. Don't get down because of graduation!", she proclaimed as she threw her arms around Rain and Keila, since Jake was a little too tall to do that to.

"That just means we have to hang out more!", she advised with a big smile that showed off more of her sharp, slightly unaligned teeth.

Everyone smiled a little at Marceline's proposition. I had to admit that it was a cute idea.

"Jake.", I called.

"Hm?" He turned his head to look at me, but his body was still facing the other girls.

"Ask Finn what he's doing for the rest of the night. Since it's Friday, let's all hang out at my place. We could all watch a movie or something", I suggested.

The other girls clamored in agreement and were all willing to get going immediately. Jake said that he happily would and would get back to me as soon as Finn gave an answer. Either way, I wanted people hang out at my house, since, to be completely honest, I've started to feel very lonely despite Pepper being there. Finn was right. It was more comfortable to hang around people who are closer to your age.

"Let us invite LSP and B-MO too!", cheered Rain.

"Don't forget Bongo and Guy." Keila added.

"What about Fia? Maybe we could get a sneak peek at Finn's new GF.", Jake said with a grin on his face.

Everyone started happily adding in names to the list of invites and the list of possible movies as I watched them and calculated the amount of food and drinks that I would need to prepare. As the group was about to head back, Marceline broke from it and headed towards me. Everyone said their temporary farewells to each other except for me and Marceline.

Curious, I asked, "Why'd you stay after?"

"Why'd you listen in?", she retorted.

A little shocked and annoyed at her answering me with a question, I slightly stuttered,

"I-I needed to talk to you about this morning, but we're going to put it off so-"

"You coulda waited in the office. I did say I was gonna come back, after all.", she annoyingly reminded.

Now not only did she cut me off but she gave me an attitude as well. What kind of Queen is she?!

"I didn't know if you were going to keep your word.", I pouted.

"I always keep my word."

Marceline took a quick moment to look around the room. She then advanced slowly towards me with a look of mischief on her face.

"Wh-what are you doing?", I stammered.

She came a little too close for my comfort, so I started to back away, but I landed back on the awkward green couch with a sudden thud. She kept on coming towards me until her cute, little nose was an inch away from my face. Marceline, with her shining ruby eyes, looked into mine for what seemed like an eternity. My eyes were torn from choosing to stare back into her enticing eyes or at her lovely lips. She then smoothly put her lips near my ear and purred,

"Like I said; I always keep my word, Bonnie."

When her lips popped out the ancient nickname "Bonnie", a nostalgic chill ran through my spine.

Next chapter is an optional chapter. Don't have to read it in order to progress the story.

But when I do optional chapters, I release the actual chapter at the same time.
