Previously…
Finn and Fionna met Marceline Abadeer, who brought them to her shared hideout. We left off with the meeting of Bonniebell Sweets, a scientist that worked with Bonnie, and also Marceline's grandmother.
"Marceline, I swear!" She yells, then turns to me and scrunches up your face. Her grey eyes scrutinize me, size me up. I cross my arms across my chest, and I put all my weight on my left foot. I glare at her, and look her up and down. She sighs, and looks at Marceline.
"Well, I guess that they can stay." She says defeated. Knowing that it was a three to one battle, and the odds weren't in her favor. "Show them to their room. Marceline." Bonnie says defeated. Marceline smirks over at us, and me and Finn grab all of our things, and follow Marceline down the second hallway. She stops three doors down on the right.
"This is your room. You guys will have to share, cuz, yah know, space biz. But the bathrooms the door at the end of the hall. There's a shower, and a toilet. Some hand sanitizer. Make yourselves comfertible, do whatever you want to the room, and door," she pointed to the door across the hall from us that looked like some beast had gotten a hold of it and ripped it to shreds, "I have." She smiles at us, and opens her door to a dark room. She comes back out with thick votives, and some scented candles. She shoves them into Finns arms and winks at me and I roll my eyes. Me and Finn turn into our room and light a candle each. We go around and set them down all around the room. We lit each candle when we set them down, and soon, a soft glow was filling the room, and we could get a good view of the room. There were two twin beds on each side of the room. A small shelf was next to each bed, and there were two bean bag chairs in a corner of the room. There was one drawer next to the door. Finn walks over to the drawer and puts his two pairs of clothes in the second drawer. He turns and looks at me holding out his hand. He gives me this look, and I lightly laugh, handing him my clothes. He puts them in the top drawer, and looks at me again.
"Fi, you've taken me with you to buy pretty much all the underwear you own. I've handled half of them. Just give me the damn things." I laugh and hand him my extra bra and other pairs of underwear. I walk to my nightstand and place all my weapons on the top shelf around my votive. Finn does the same, and we lay on our beds. I stretch out, and before I know it, I hear Marceline pounding at our door.
"GUYS! COME ON GUYS! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" I sit up and yawn, stretching. I feel my joints pop, and Finn looks up at me. He goes to pet Jake and spring up when he's not there. He jumps up, and flings open the door, and runs down the hallway, me at his heels. We turn the corner and find Jake laying his head on Bonnie's lap. Finn lets out a sigh, like he's been holding his breath out of fear, and walks calmly up to the pink haired girl and his dog. Marceline is sitting at the table, her plate piled high with only red things. Apples, strawberries, raspberries. She has a steak cut open on another plate and the inside is still red.
"How was she able to cook that steak without luring zombies?" I ask puzzled.
"Oh, I hooked up a small fan and duct that leads about a mile and half away from here. It's about six feet into the ground so nothing can follow it. I had people do it. It works." Marceline says shrugging, and biting into her bloody steak. We all cringe, and shudder, and I turn to look at Bonnie. She's pale, but not Marceline pale. She's a healthy pale, with just a tinge of tan. She has an oval shaped face, with a defined nose, and plump candy pink lips. Her bubblegum colored hair falls straight down her back, and ends in soft waves. Her perfect posture showing as she sits, and walks. She carry's her head high. But she wears too much pink.
'Her hair looks like gum… Yeah… Bubblegum… That seems like a great nickname for this little princess.' I thought to myself. I look at Marceline, not being able to really access her more than I already have, her being a laid back, rebel type who loves to have fun, can only think of Marcie as a nickname. Lost in my thoughts, it takes Finns hand on my shoulder to break me out of my trace.
"Fi, do you want something to eat?"
"Oh, uhmm… Yeah. I could go for some food. What do you have?"
"Well, Marceline is making steaks before they go bad. Medium?"
"Yeah," I say smiling. Marceline makes us all steaks, and we chow down. It has to be around midnight, and I'm yawning.
"Well, I'm goin to bed. You commin Finny?" I say, looking at him trying not to pass out, his head bobbing while he sits in an egg chair.
"Nahh," he yawns, "I can stay up longer…"
"Suuuuree… Come on, even you need sleep Finn." I say as I pull him to his feet. Jake walks down the hall with me and Finn as I count the doors on my right, and open our door. I walk him over to his bed and he lays down in it. I grab a pillow out of his bag, and put it under his head. I grab a blanket from my bag, and drape it over him. Jake lays in front of him, curled up in a ball. Finn wraps his arm around his dog, and smiles, already half asleep. I grab a pillow for myself, and a blanket, and I lay on my side. I close my eyes, and I'm out.
"Fi… Fi can I lay down with you?" A small voice calls out in the darkness. I see a light from a single candle illuminate Finn's face. His face is tear streaked. I sit up and look at him.
"Finny, what's wrong?" I ask, enveloping him in my arms.
"It's, it's what's happened today. That guy we… killed… Wasn't the first one I've seen… I saw two more earlier. They were… They were my parents. I saw them turn Fi. And I can't stop seeing it I-" his voice broke, as sobs racked his body, "I could have helped them Fi! I just let them turn into something unthinkable!" He buries his face in my shoulder, and I hold him, stroking his hair, making consoling noises, and rocking him back and forth. I lay us down, as he starts to settle down. Right before we both fall asleep, arms wrapped around each other, I hear Finn mutter sleepily,
"I'm sorry I snotted all over your biz Fi, I love you." I smile and close my eyes, holding Finn, and I drift into one of many dreamless sleeps.
Well, tell me what you think:D Thanks so much:D
