Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time.
Hola guys! As said in last chapter this one is BEEFY. But I had to make up for not posting in a while! Hope none of you are too mad at me for that, but I will not retort if you are a little mad. It's been three months for pete's sake!
Anyway, I'm not telling you what's going on in this chapter because it's juicy and I don't want to ruin it. So tempting though!
This is Chapter 5. (BTW I recommend listening to Treasure by Bruno Mars by the end of this story. It kinda goes with it. Sorry to the young readers! The song has ONE bad word. This story is a trike steamy too.)
A surprised "WHAT?" erupted from everyone in the class, especially Marceline. The teacher, satisfied with the looks of shock on each of her students, resumed her position at the teacher's desk. "My name is Dr. Khadijah W. Diouf and I'll be your psychology teacher this semester." She gazed around at the still stunned faces of her students "I guess I'll need to explain myself…"
A male student perked up "You look so young!"
"I'll take that as a compliment…" She continued grinning " But you're right, I am young. I won't tell you my current age, but I will tell you that I received my Ph.D. when I was 21 and got my M.D. when I was 25. I am currently working in through my residency to become a neurologist. Now you guys can guess as much as you want, come to my office hours and debate with me, and even if you deduced my actual age, I will not tell you whether you're right or not, so please don't waste precious time you could be using to study, on it. My last name is verily confusing, as it is French, so you may call me Dr. Khadijah or Dr. D if that makes it easier." Dr. D stated. She sighed "Now let's start this monster off with a discussion of the syllabus…"
After taking about half the class to explain the syllabus, the teacher used the rest of her time asking the class what psychology meant. Bonnie promptly gave the book answer " Psychology is the study of the mind, the psyche if you will."
"Yes… Thank you…I'm sorry what is your name?" Dr. D outstretched her hand.
Bonnie responded " I'm Bonnibel Babbilon, but I just go by Bonnie."
" Well, thank you Bonnie, for providing us with the dictionary definition…BUT, when I ask 'What does psychology mean?', I'm asking what it means to you. Why are you taking this class? I understand some of you have to, because it's a requirement of your major, but why is psychology your major? What about this topic interests you so much that you would dedicate part of your higher education route to it?" Dr. D asked.
One girl spoke up "Well I'd like to understand why others do certain things in given situation, compared to what I would do in the same situation."
"I'd like to understand fear." said another
"I'd like to understand girls." said a guy. The class snickered at his comment while Dr. D just smiled "Trust me, as a 'girl' myself, no matter how psychologically apt you are, or become, that goal will never be attainable."
Marceline finally said "I'd like to learn it so then I can subconsciously read people. Then I can use whatever I find out against them." Dr. D walked over to Marceline's desk and high fived her. "I was waiting for someone to say that because that is exactly the reason why I first got into it!" She made her way back over to the teacher's desk "To finish the first day, I'm going to show you guys a short clip of one of my favorite beginner psychology videos. It has to do with what one of you mentioned, fear. Some may find it very true and some if they're as diabolical as Marceline and I, will find it quite hilarious." She smiled again as she started the video. It featured at first a bunch of people running away and then a loud voice screamed "FEAR". After its theatrical opening, the clip went on to state and prove that all fears are caused from a sense of uncertainty.
As it ended, Dr. D said "Now I know, most of you don't know what the rest of this semester will be like, or how much of a good teacher I will amount to be. But believe me when I say, I don't want any of you to fail this class. Hell, if you guys got all A's I would be thrilled. I want you to do well, so if you're having trouble understanding a topic, come talk to me. Don't fear me. I'll be more than willing to help. If you're having a situation, or even an overwhelming prior commitment for another class, I'll work with you. But you have to tell me. If I don't know, I can't help. At the same time, you must know, though I am extremely flexible, I do have a breaking point. I don't tolerate cheating. I can see if you are stressed and you're doing crazy work hours, but if you weren't even trying, I can tell."
Bonnie spoke up "So why do we have group tests then?"
"The group tests allow for socializing in the classroom which I feel in a psychology class is needed. It also prevents cheating on a large-scale, but if you come into class on test day, didn't study at all, just hoping to mooch all the answers off of your neighbor, that is cheating, I will notice and you will be reprimanded heavily for it." Dr. D answered, frowning slightly
Bonnie nodded "That makes sense." Dr. D clapped her hands together and smiled again "Okay, now to get off of that sour note, does anyone have any more questions? No?" She gazed around the room as she held her clasped hand to her chest. " My office hours start in about…" She gaged her watch "…15 minutes so, if you don't want to ask right now, you can when I get to my office. Sound good? Alright, well, off you go my beautiful caterpillars!"
Finn asked, puzzled "Caterpillars?" Many of the other students brushed it off and made way of leaving through the only door available.
"Why yes! Hopefully, by the end of this semester, you will all be butterflies, bursting out the seems with knowledge of psychology!" She said excitedly.
Finn smiled "I'm gonna like this class." Dr. D replied "I'm glad you thi nk that." At that he, Bonnie and Marceline left to just outside the classroom and watched Dr. D walk up the stairs to her office.
Bonnie said "She seems really fun and nice." Marceline nodded "Yeah one of the few teachers that I can say I potentially like."
"Yeah I like her style. I've never heard of a teacher doing group tests, even if the final is solitary, I like the group test idea because then it makes getting the topics easier…" Finn replied
Marceline teased "Ahh, I see, so you're just going to be snagging our answers for the tests then? Okay"
Finn laughed "No. I bet you guys will be snagging mine though."
"Pfff, the only answers I'd ask you for are on how to be a dorkwad." Bonnie replied.
Finn gasped and put his hand over his chest, feigning shock "…That hurts." Bonnie lightly punched him in the arm as she chuckled "You're such a drama king."
"And you m'lady are my drama queen." He said as he bowed. Blood rushed to her cheeks again as she had to fight back a smile and look away from the doubled over Finn before her. As dhe stood up, Marceline said "Well sorry to leave this oh so adorable flirting session, but I gotta head Chemistry 2 class. "
"Oh yeah you have that at like 12:45 huh? You should probably get going then, I'll see you later." Bonnie replied as Marceline began walking away. Finn hollered after her "See ya Marceline" Marceline made an abrupt wave goodbye and was gone. Finn turned back to Bonnie and said "Sooo, you have another class to be getting to too?"
"Nope. Actually I was going to Dr. Khadijah's office hours because I wanted to inquire a few questions…..You want to come?" Bonnie asked
Finn shrugged "Yea, I mean I don't have any more classes today, so I'll probably end up being bored in my dorm the rest of the day since none of my teachers assigned homework." Bonnie clapped her hands happily "Awesome! Well, let's be on our way." She walked up the stairs and Finn soon followed.

As the two made their way to Dr. D's office, they noticed a tall slightly hunched over man waiting outside. Bonnie thought that it must be another student so they stood behind him. Glancing back towards them and noticing the psychology book in Bonnie's arms, the man turned around and greeted them "Hello, uhh, I'm not a student. I'm another Biology teacher. I just needed to discuss some things with Dr. Johanna."
Bonnie replied, confused "Don't you mean Dr. Khadijah?"
"There are a lot of little known facts about 'Dr. Khadijah'. One of them is that she's actually got two different names. I met her back when she was going primarily by the name her mom gave her, Johanna. Khadijah is the name her dad gave her. She really has no preference of which you call her, she loves them both." The Biology teacher smiled.
"Oh… I wouldn't have guessed." Bonnie replied, a little shocked
Finn responded "Yeah, Dr. D is quite the mysterious cookie isn't she? She won't even tell us how old she is! And given how young she looks and her achievements, that's like the first question you would want to ask!"
The biology teacher chuckled "She won't tell you?" Finn and Bonnie shook their heads. The biology teacher just laughed as he shook his head and looked to the door of Dr. D's office. Bonnie perked up and tapped the man on the shoulder "Not too be rude, but may I ask who you are exactly?"
"Oh I am Dr. Clinton Hoang. Dr. D and I finished our bachelor's degrees together." Dr. Yen replied. As they shook hands, the door of Dr.D's office opened and another student from Psychology class came out "Thank you for listening Dr. D. I gotta get home now."
"Okay, you have a safe drive home, Kendra." Dr. D waved to the girl as she left. Then she turned to the three that were outside her door. She smiled coyly at Dr. Hoang "What are you doing here, Clint?" Dr. Hoang stepped a little closer to her and then whispered something inaudible to Bonnie and Finn in her ear. Her eyes widened for a fraction of a second and set onto Dr. Hoang as he pulled away and leaned against the wall. She raised her eyebrow at him as a smile crept to her face again. Dr. Hoang nodded, staring into her eyes. She turned to Bonnie and Finn, awaiting for one of them to say their reason for their visit. Bonnie jolted a bit, she had been studying the two teachers interaction carefully before she noticed Dr. D staring at her, and said "Oh! Umm, well I had a few questions for you, but Dr. Hoang has been waiting longer than us, so he should go first."
"Oh no. What Dr. Hoang and I have to talk about is going to take a much,…" Dr. D started as she looked over to Dr. Hoang "longer to work out. I'm sure your questions won't take as long so you can go first. Come on in!" She gestured for them to follow her into her office. Bonnie and Finn took seats in the two comfy chairs that stood before Dr. D's desk. Dr. Hoang decided to stand near one of her bookcases, taking one of the books out and flipping through it. Dr. D eyed him as she sat down in her chair but then rested her orbs of blue surrounding brown on her two students before her.
"So what questions do you have? I'll try to answer them as best I can." She looked to Finn.
Finn shook his head "Oh I don't have any questions…yet. I'm just a tag-a-long." Dr.D nodded and then looked to Bonnie, interlocking her fingers as she waited for a response.
Bonnie replied "Well, its more like one question, but I know it will spur a bunch of other questions. I wanted you to describe ESP to me. I was reading about it in the book but I got kind of confused on the validity of it. I don't really believe in it, but I wanted to understand why those who do, do believe in it."
"Ah haha, I have an read ahead of the class reader don't I? You're talking to a believer right now." Dr. D smiled.
Bonnie chuckled "Oh! That's even better! Could you explain it, then?"
Dr. D started "Well ESP is extrasensory perception. It is the ability of getting information without the use of the five known senses also known as the sixth sense. Usually people who believe in ESP, know someone who has this ability or they have this ability themselves."
"Oh so you have this ability or do you know someone who does?" Bonnie asked
Dr. D answered " To an extent, I have it. But it's not as powerful as my dad's. My dad can have a dream and it'll happen the next day. Or he'll get a feeling about something and though it may take a while, it will happen. I get dreams and feelings too, but they don't happen quite as much compared to my dad."
Bonnie paused and then questioned "But how are these feelings? What are the dreams? Could you explain that to me?"
"Well the feelings are just an inert 'feeling' that you have. Like for me, I can usually tell when something is going to go bad. I'll look around and something, I don't know what, but it's something that just doesn't feel right, and I'll say something bad is going to happen. Usually something bad does happen. As for the dreams, I can't really explain them, it's better understandable with an experience. Back in my bachelor's degree, when I was doing as you are now, taking the first semester of Psychology, the teacher had been going over ESP. In the past three weeks, we had taken two tests and he hadn't returned them until that day. I got 100% on both. What was funny was over the weekend, I had a dream that I would get all points on two of the same tests. I wasn't sure which tests, though now that I think about it, I should have figured it was Psychology because that was the only class that I was awaiting the results of two tests for. I told my teacher about my dream, because he didn't believe in ESP, and he was slightly surprised and said it was pretty interesting. I surely didn't change his mind, but I did give him something to think about. I'm doing the same with you. I'm not trying to change your mind, just giving you something to consider. If ESP weren't true, didn't exist, how do you explain those who are able to find things out about people they don't even know? How is it that some people like my dad and I are able to tell when something is wrong? How about you come back with a speculation , idea or explanation tomorrow or Wednesday, and we can have a little banter about it, hmm?" Dr. D finished as her gaze lingered over to Dr. Hoang, who had moved to the couch that was near her office door and was staring at her intently.
Bonnie smiled and nodded "Yeah, okay. I'll come back on Wednesday. Thanks Dr. D." She and Finn rose from their chairs and walked over to the door. "You're welcome! I'll see you then!." She called out as her two students left her office, letting the door close quietly behind them. As soon as it was shut, Bonnie and Finn heard a click, which signified the locking of the door. Their confused eyes darted to each other as they moved a little away from the door, so they couldn't be seen in its window and began eavesdropping on the conversation between Dr. D and Dr. Hoang.
"That took longer than I expected." Dr. Hoang started. Some chair movement and footsteps were then heard. "I'm sorry, but you know that I like to give the most extensive answers to my students. If my answers are too dry or short, they might not get what I want them too." Dr. D replied apologetically. More movement sounds were heard but they sounded more muffled, like someone sitting. Bonnie figured that Dr. D had taken a seat next to Dr. Hoang on the couch.
Dr. Hoang responded "It doesn't even matter now…" A short pause occurred, followed by Dr. D saying "No, Terr! I'm holding office hours right now. That's why I didn't answer when you told me out in the hall. What if a student comes in?!"
"Johanna…" Dr. Hoang replied in a husky tone. More movement was heard but neither Finn nor Bonnie could figure what kind. "…you should know from our college days that only 2 or 3 students come into office hours on the first day, and they come in at the beginning…" More movement was heard. Dr. D replied in a slight warning tone "Clint…" Bonnie raised her eyebrows as she looked at Finn who's face remained indifferent.
"Shutup." Dr. Hoang replied jokingly. Finn shot Bonnie a surprised look. Just as they started hearing Dr.D's response, a security guard noticed them crouched outside her door. He asked if they were waiting for her and when they replied no, he told them to leave her premises or risk being taken to the security office so, as to follow orders, they left to Burger King. The two ordered food and then sat at a table to discuss their findings.
"Can you believe that?!" Bonnie interjected.
Finn shook his head "We can't be sure of what we heard. It could have been something else."
Bonnie said slightly annoyed "Like what? Think about it, Finn! Did you see how they looked at each other in the hall? Those weren't looks you give to a colleague, even if you've known them for a long time."
"Yeah but it could be different for them. They could be REALLY close." Finn answered as he took a bite of his burger.
Bonnie shook her head "No. Trust me, I've had looks like that thrown my way and I know exactly what they mean…"
"Hehe, you talking about me again, Bel?" a voice said as a man approached Bonnie's chair from behind.
"Speak of the devil," Bonnie mutter under her breath as she rolled her eyes. She turned around and sarcastically greeted him with a half-smile "Hi, Brad. How you doing?"
Brad replied, lust interlaced in his tone "I'm a lot better now." This time Bonnie let him see her eyes roll and he just chuckled. His gaze moved to Finn who was sitting across from Bonnie. He frowned "What's this? You held a contest where the winner got a date with you and this guy won. Looks more like a loser to me."
"It's nice to see you too Brad." Finn smiled
Bonnie replied "He's a longtime friend of mine, not a loser. And I beg your pardon, but we're trying to have lunch here." She stuffed a fry into her mouth and looked up at him.
"Okay, okay. I'll leave. And by the way, you don't have to beg for my pardon. I can make you beg for other things though." He leaned closer to her face, staring into her eyes suggestively. Finn's blood began to boil as he used everything in his power to keep from punching Brad in the nose. He pushed his fries all around his plate, too frustrated to eat. Bonnie's face became stone cold as she pushed Brad's shoulder hard. "LEAVE." She said angrily. He walked away with a goofy smile on his face. Just before he completely left, he hollered back "Don't forget tomorrow, freshmeat!"
"Finally he's gone." Finn sighed, letting his built up frustration out in deep breaths. Bonnie replied "Yeah…what's happening tomorrow?"
Finn swallowed another fry and said "Oh, tomorrow, after my General Biology class, Brad's taking me in for my training for the football team."
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Bonnie answered happily.
Finn shrugged "I guess. I mean the downside is that Brad's the one training me."
Bonnie responded knowingly " Ahhhh, he does put a damper on things. But it'll be okay. Who do you have for Gen Bio?"
He pondered for a second "I'm not too sure, but I think it's actually Dr. Hoang that we saw in Dr. D's office…"
"What?!" Bonnie lit up like a Christmas tree. Finn became a little apprehensive "Uhhh… I don't like the look on your face."
Bonnie grinned widely, excitingly concocting a plan in her brain. "That means you could study him for me! You know, watch his interactions with others, maybe some of the female persuasion. Ask him some roundabout questions about his love life, hint a little about Dr. D and report back to me what you find out…"
"But we aren't even sure if it was an affair! What if they're both single or better yet dating!?" Finn protested.
"But they can't be. Didn't you notice what was on Dr. D's ring finger when she was waving to that Kendra girl? A wedding ring! And as far as I could tell, Dr. Hoang wasn't wearing one." Bonnie replied.
Finn sat back as he frowned, not noticing he was leaned over in the first place. He pondered Bonnie's proposition.
Bonnie pleaded with him "PLLEEEASE?" She pouted and made the biggest, saddest eyes you ever did see.
Finn stared at her sympathetically and caved "Fine… I'll do it, but this better not become a continuous thing."
"Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. We'll just have to wait and see." She took a bite of her hamburger.
Finn sighed "Ughh… great."
A/N:
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DID YOU LIKE IT?
Did this make up a little for the long wait you had to endure?
If it did, I'm glad. If it didn't, I so sorry! T_T
Well Bonnie and Finn have got a mystery on their hands. An assignment on the first day too! Bummer. My college wouldn't do that to me, at least not in fall or spring. Summer they will.
What will Finn observe from Dr. Hoang? What will happen during Finn's training?
Brad's obviously got a bone to pick with him but who knows. Oh wait...I do! ^_^
*sniff sniff* Do you guys *sniff sniff* smell that? It think it's a *sniff sniff* a ... DRAMABOMB!
Lol I'm such a dork.
Anyway, REVIEW please! I love you guys' reviews.
I'll be seeing you in Chapter... 6... DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!,
Spazzaye
