Disclaimer: I don't own Adventure Time.
YOOOOOOOO! I know I haven't updated in a long time. BUT LET ME EXPLAIN! First I had to finish T&LR(Time and Love Rollercoasters) and then I had to study for a few quizzes and I had to write a Microbiology paper. After that I got on to an Inuyasha-watching binge. You know, the kinda binges where you watch nothing but one show until the end of it? Yeah. When you have those, you can't do little if nothing else. I stayed up till 6 or 7 in the morning for three days watching. I just LOVE Inuyasha sooo much. He reminds me of my want-to boyfriend.
Anyway, enough explaining! For this chapter, if you started hating Brad right away last chapter, like D.E. drabbles, then you will find out WHY you hate him so. There's some Finnceline, Fubblegum, and maybe (if you interpret it that way) some Fubbline. Hope you like it.
REVIEW PLZ!
This is Chapter 2
Finn woke up to a knocking on his dorm door. He fuzzily opened it to get a face full of shaving cream. Brad doubled over laughing as Finn wiped the shaving cream off on to his hand. He smirked and put his handful of shaving cream on Brad's bent down head of hair, rubbing it in. Brad lifted his head, revealing a scowl directed at Finn "Why you little…." Brad shoved Finn into his room. "Whoa… you like Marshall Lee?" Brad gazed around Finn's room which had Marshall Lee posters and CD cases scattered everywhere. "You just gained a LOT of cool points."
"Yyeah… that's nice. Could you leave now?" Finn replied as he held the door open. Brad walked towards it, but stopped in front of him "I'm sorry about the shaving cream. I have to give you props though, most freshman aren't brave enough to get back at me. You know, you look and seem right enough to be on the team. How bout it?"
"Hmm… I'll have to think about it." Finn muffled.
"Yeah man, you do that, I gotta head to practice now." Brad said, quickly leaving Finn's dorm.
Finn scoffed. "What a wad. Probably just a ruse to get me to come down there and throw a pie in my face or something." He looked at his bed side clock. It was 11:00 AM. " I can go see if Jake's back from his date with Raini." He took a quick shower, got dressed and went on a search for Jake's dorm. He saw a door with 'Jake Mertens' written on it, had been left open and waltzed in. Jake had been lying face down on his bed. He was drooling a lot, evident of the puddle of spittle right beneath where his head fell of the side. "Ughh… he must be hung over again. He'll be out all day…" Finn frowned. "What can I do now?" He left the boys' dorms and began aimlessly wandering around . He soon bumped into a familiar pale face.
"Hey! Did you learn how to walk from a demented old lady or what?!" Marceline said in too much of a more tired than angry mood to even look at who it was.
"Oh… sorry. Wait… Marceline?" Finn questioned as he studied the long black haired, gray clothed beauty that stood before him.
"Yeah, who's asking?" Marceline replied as she turned to look at Finn. Taken aback by the very familiar but very much changed person in front of her eyes, she hesitantly asked "…Finn?"
"In the flesh." Finn smirked as he gestured to his entire body. "Why is everyone so surprised? First Bonnie, now her. Was I really that bad before?"
Marceline, completely stunned, poked his face in random places. "Wow, I guess Bonnie was right. You really have changed."
Finn was slightly flattered but kept it hidden. "She was talking about me?"
"Yeah, she said that you were going here now and that you completely changed. I didn't believe her, though, because you were such an enormous dork before." Marceline chuckled.
"Hey!" Finn replied a little offended. "What? It's not a lie. I mean you even wore a blue dress because you bet me and Bonnie you could." Marceline smiled.
"Oh yeah. You guys still owe me $200, for doing that." Finn responded as he ran a hand through his hair.
"PSHH, like we'd give YOU $200. You'd probably just go buy yourself another dress!" Marceline laughed even more. Finn began laughing with her "No, no. I like the more casual look now. Nothing more than a skirt and a REALLY nice shirt." Marceline pushed him in the arm "You see! You're still such a dork."
"Yeah…" Finn began "Hey, did you want to hang out today? I was going to with Jake but he's hung-over…"
Marceline quickly scoffed "Really? Raini kinda is too. But I wouldn't blame them, it's only a few days til classes start, might as well get it out of the system."
Finn nodded "That actually makes sense. But I still wouldn't because its too close to the start of the semester. …Soo is that a yes?"
"Yeah! Let me get Bonnie out here so we can do it up all together." Marceline answered
Finn questioned "Where is she anyway? I would of thought I'd bump into her, with her being new student guide and all." Marceline put her hands on her hips "I not good enough for you Finn?"
"Well if you put that way…" Finn flirtatiously replied as he moved a little closer to Marceline. She smirked, pushing him back "You weirdo. I'll be back with Bonnie in like five minutes. Try not to fantasize about me while I'm gone, hmm?"
"For THAT long? Ugh, that's sheer torture Marceline!" Finn jokingly argued. Marceline rolled her eyes and headed towards the girls' dorms. "Jeez Bonnie was right…like always. Finn's way hotter now!" she thought as she reached her dorm doorway. Bonnie was sitting on her bed, engrossed by a textbook for the Intro to Marine Biology class that she and Marceline were taking together. It looked like she was almost done with it. Marceline rolled her eyes. "You're the only person I know that would finish reading a textbook for a class before it's even started!" "Not like the book is too long, but still."
"I like to be prepared. Is that really such a bad thing?" Bonnie responded without looking up from the book.
Marceline sighed "Whatever. Finn invited me to hang out and you should really get some fresh air, so you're coming too."
Bonnie sucked her teeth "…I guess it wouldn't hurt. I'm almost done and I did tell him I would catch up with him more today anyway." She set the book aside and stretched as she rose from her bed.
"Alright, let's go." She yawned. The two roommates quickly left their chamber as Bonnie followed Marceline outside. The glaring sun punished Bonnie for being inside so long, blinding her for a few seconds. She tripped on one of the stairs, almost falling, but thankfully Finn, who had been patiently waiting outside, caught her. "Klutz much?"
"No, she's been inside reading in our dorm with the lights off and the shades only slightly open. I made her come out here." Marceline replied slightly annoyed as Bonnie stood on her own. Her eyes finally adjusted to the light as she said "Thanks Finn, I'm fine now."
"Alright, well where did you ladies want to go?" Finn asked
Marceline replied wearily "I really would rather not stay on campus… It's too boring. How about…"
"Downtown! Finn probably hasn't explored it yet!" Bonnie suggested
Marceline nodded, replacing her bad mood with an excited one "That'll be fun. Let's go!" The now trio happily marched downtown. They then hopped on the shuttle bus which would take them through the main street of the outdoor mall. Finn was struck in awe at how many beautiful stores they had. Marceline and Bonnie pulled him into a few, making him watch them try on different outfits, even making him try on some himself. "Maybe they just suggested downtown to have a reason to shop." Finn pondered as he held their bags while they looked for more stuff. He spotted a video game store and smiled mischievously "They shall pay…." He dragged his girly friends into the video game store. They sat with the bags in the chairs near the door, trying to look as indifferent as possible though they were slightly upset. Finn gazed in content at all the games that were available. "No way, they have Black Noir… the new Grand Theft Auto… Castlevania… the new Tekken… Military Warfare 3… Battlefield 4… even Aveyond!" He grabbed all of them and approached the cashier counter.
"Wow someone has got a taste for games." The cashier was amazed at his choices. "You seem like long-time gamer, why haven't I seen you before?"
"Oh well I'm a freshman at Ooo University. I just got here yesterday." Finn replied.
The cashier responded "Really? I go there to, man. I'm a junior on scholarship for the football team. Name's Matthew, you can just call me Matt though."
"Oh cool. Wait… I saw the football team yesterday, I don't remember seeing you there." Finn questioned.
Matt motioned to the counter "This is my on-break job, so whenever we go on semester break, I have to be here for 8 hours a day." Finn nodded "Ahh."
"So you saw the rest of the guys huh? They try any tricks on you?" Matt inquired knowingly.
"Not really. I mean Brad tried this morning." Finn started. " Nothing too big, just some shaving cream to the face, but I took what was on my face and slammed it on his head while he was bent over laughing, so…." Then he laughed "And then because of that and the fact that I like Marshall Lee he asked me to be on the team. But it's probably just another prank right?"
Matt shook his head "Actually no. Brad never jokes about putting someone on the team. And it doesn't surprise me that he asked you. You're legit. I mean look at these games!" He featherly gestured to the games on the counter. He rung them up and put them inside a black copyrighted Gamezone bag. "I'm guessing you said no?"
"I told him, I'd think about." Finn said as he grabbed the bag.
"You should do it, man. It'll open doors for you, I promise." Matt nodded, crossing his arms.
"You seem like a nice guy. I'll take your word for it. I still want to think about it, though." Finn said as he motioned to Marceline and Bonnie they were leaving. Matt noticed and he was surprised "You know those girls?"
Finn replied "Yeah. I've known them for a long time. Seems like the whole football team knows Bonnie. I guess Marceline too. Brad especially. Hey, what's the story between Bonnie and Brad? There were some obvious things I noticed when she was giving me a tour of the campus and we ended up in the guy dorms…"
Matt began "Uhh…" He glanced at Bonnie and chuckled "… It's not really my story to tell…"
"Alright then. See you Monday, I guess." Finn said as he walked away towards the door.
"Oh nah, man, I live in the dorm's too, I just come in around 11:00 so you'll see me. I mean, you will if you're a normal college student and stay up 'til 1:00 in the morning nearly everyday." Matt laughed. Finn smiled and left to catch up with Bonnie and Marceline.
"Ugh, that was torture." Marceline griminiced as she messaged her right temple. Bonnie nodded.
Finn smiled teethly as he draped an arm over each girl's shoulders. "Well, now you guys know how it felt to sit and watch you guys try on a bagillion outfits."
"I just didn't think it would be so long…." Bonnie sighed. Finn replied with a sly grin on his face "That's what she said…."
Both girls blushed and then burst into laughter. "Nasty, nasty jazz!" They said in unison as they high-fived each other, still laughing. Finn broke away from the two, bowed and said with a hint of an English accent "Well, would you two fine ladies, accept the treat of a fine dinner, from a nasty jazzman?" Marceline and Bonnie curtsied and replied again in unison "It would be our pleasure." They trio laughed altogether, making more jokes as they walked to the nearest restaurant, Noodles. They each ordered their favorites and sat down. Within 15 minutes, a waiter had come and served them. While they ate, they talked about what happened in the year it had been from the last time they had really hung out. Finn hesitated but asked "Soo, what's the deal with Brad?"
Bonnie and Marceline, previously laughing, had fell silent on the mention of his name. Marceline forked a roll up of chicken alfredo into her mouth and Bonnie did the same with her spaghetti. Finn felt awkward "Come on guys, you can tell me. It's Finn, remember?"
Bonnie swallowed her mouthful and said "…Well it all started a year ago, when I first came to campus. If you remember, Marceline was already here for a whole semester before I came because she didn't want to bother with all the high school stuff that goes on in the last semester of senior year…" Finn nodded. Bonnie continued "Well, Marceline was and still is on the swim team, and knowing how good I was at swimming, she recommended me to the swim coach, Rachel Magnusin. Ms. Magnusin had me tryout and thought I had potential so she put me on the team."
"It was because of Bonnie and me that the team won first place last year in the final swim meet/tournament." Marceline chimed in.
Bonnie nodded "Anyway, after we won, we found out that the football players also won their championship game and because of that Brad… threw a party to celebrate." Finn sat back in his chair, cupping his fist in the other hand. Bonnie still continued "At the party, we were all having a good time and stuff, I was chatting it up with Brad, getting to know him a little better and he hands me a drink."
"Little did she know, something was wrong with that drink. It was spiked. I had been standing over by some of our swim-mates when I saw Jeremy put something in a green drink. He gave it to Brad and he gave it to Bonnie." Marceline stated as she put another forkful of her pasta into her mouth.
"Yeah. Marceline came over, told me she just remembered that she lost something in our dorm and she needed my help to find it. So we left, and after I heard what Marceline said, we never went back." Bonnie finished. She took a sip of water and finished her spaghetti while looking intently at Finn.
"Are you still on the swim team?" Finn asked.
Bonnie nodded "But of course. I couldn't let Ms. Magnusin down, because of what happened. It wasn't her fault. And let's face it this chick..." She cocked her head at Marceline, trying to cut through the building tension with a small joke "couldn't carry the team all by herself." Marceline rolled her eyes and smiled. "Oh whatever."
Finn sat stunned "Wow… That gives me a lot to think about then." Marceline and Bonnie stared at him in confusion. "Huh?"
"Well, this morning, before I bumped into you…" Finn replied as he gestured to Marceline "Brad asked me if I would be on the team. I didn't think too much of it at the time, because just before he asked me he sprayed shaving cream all over my face. But then at Gamezone, one of the football players, Matthew, who works there, told me that Brad doesn't joke around with putting students on the roster of football. He said I should accept the position because it would open doors for me. Now... hearing this... I'm not so…"
Bonnie cut him off "You should do it!" Finn looked at her confused "Wait…what?"
"Not all of the football players are like that. Most, if not all except for Brad and Jeremy, are really nice like Matthew. Brad's just the team captain, and because of that title, he's big-headed." Bonnie responded. Marceline nodded "Yeah, you should accept the position, Finn."
"You guys really think I should do it?" Finn replied surprised.
"Yes. Yes we do." Bonnie and Marceline said in unison.
Finn shrugged "Guess its decided then. Ooo University just got themselves another football player." Bonnie and Marceline celebrated "Alright! Wooo!" Finn looked at his watch. It was 9:30.
"You guys ready to leave?" Marceline nodded "Yeah." She and Finn finished their food and the triad made their way back to the girl dorms. Marceline and Bonnie each hugged Finn.
"It was great hanging out with you today. Just like old times!" Marceline eagerly said.
Finn smiled back at her "Yeah, it was. We should reestablish those old times over the next few years."
"We definitely should." Bonnie replied. "How about tomorrow?"
"Uhh, maybe. I'm gonna go sign up for the team tomorrow and I don't know exactly what I am supposed to do or how long it'll take." Finn said as he scratched his head.
Bonnie asked "Well what classes are you taking this semester?"
Finn thought for a second and the said "Uhh… General Biology I, Algebra….English I and…Psychology I."
"Cool, we're taking psych too!" Bonnie replied as Marceline nodded.
Finn jokingly questioned "Do you guys do EVERYTHING together?
Marceline scoffed "No. We do take other classes without each other, but we try to take at least two classes together. You wouldn't believe how much easier it is when you have someone else to bounce your ideas off on. "
Finn thought about it and then nodded "You make a good point. … Well bye guys. And if I don't see you over the weekend, I'll see you in class!" He began walking towards the guy dorms
"BYE FINN!" The girls said in unison as they went inside.
Finn turned back raising two fingers in an effort to sign goodbye. Then he remembered what he said "Ooo University just got themselves another football player." An image of Brad popped in his head. He sneered "And I'll be the best player they got. So good, they'll make me captain and kick him off."
A/N:
SOOOOOO? How was it? Did I make the dragons in your bellies erupt like volcanoes, creating more hatred for Brad?
(^^^^This is a Harry Potter book reference, I think book 6.^^^^)
Anybody like the Finnceline banter? Fubblegum tidbits? There are more, baking in the oven, as we speak.
I promise to have the next chapter up within a week.

Until the next,
