Chapter 2: Second chance
Finn: The author does not own Adventure Time or Paramore)
5 MONTHS LATER…..
I was sitting in my room looking at posters of my favorite musicians.
"Well, at least I have my secret shrine," I said.
I kept plucking on my bass remembering the good times we had.
MY dad came in.
"How can you expect to take over the family business when you're plucking on the family ax?" he asked.
"Dad, I don't wanna be a business woman," I said, "I wanna make my own path."
"No," he said, "You have to study business."
That's right, my dad wanted me to take over as ruler of the Nightosphere. But I didn't really focus on business. I had my own plans for my future.
When he was gone I brought out my song book and looked at my lyrics.
"One day these songs will be heard," I said to myself.
Here We Go Again (From All We Know)
Marceline: And Here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back
These words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore we meant
I'll write you just to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not (No I'm not)
Well I'm not
And here we go again
With all the things we did
And now I'm wondering
Just who would I have been
To be the one attached at all time to your hip
Forget the things we swore we meant
I'll write you just to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not (No I'm not)
Well I'm not
I'll write you to let you know
That I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not (No I'm not)
Well I'm not
Here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back
I went outside and tuned my ax bass. While I was doodling I heard some music. I went to a studio and saw…. I couldn't believe it! It was my old bandmates.
I went into the studio and saw my friends. "Guys!" I said, "Its me Marceline."
They turned and saw me.
"Marcy!" said Joseph.
"Oh, hey," said Dana.
"Guys I've been looking for you for months!" I said as I hugged them all.
"Look Marcy, we didn't wanna tell you," said Dana, "But we got a deal for a Nightosphere tour."
"Cool," I said, "But if its gonna be a success we should play some 'music'."
"I agree, so our manager wants us to fire you," said Dana, but I didn't listen.
"Now most of the songs, don't get me wrong, are too punky," I said, "But over the months I've written some material…."
"Marcy, didn't you hear what I said?" asked Dana, "You're out. We're replacing you."
"What?" I said, "Why?"
"Our manager wanted you out," said the drummer, "There was nothing we could do."
"Look, you're a talented musician, but its… the stagefright, and acting like you don't know what you're doing," said Dana, "We're trying to make a living as musicians and… you're an embarrassment."
"Ok, you're gonna kick me outta the band?" I asked, "I built this band with my own hands."
"Yo mar-mar," said a familiar voice. It was my ex, Ash.
"You asked him to play bass?!" I asked shocked.
"You gotta admit, he knows how to make the crowd his," said Dana.
"I'm sorry girl," said Joseph, "I hope this doesn't come between us."
"Read between the lines fuckwads," said Marceline, "Read between the LINES!" I flipped them off and walked out.
"Who needs her?" asked Ash, "Now let's get playing."
They started to play a song.
Pressure (From All We Know)
Dana: Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake
Feeling empty, I can
Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Marceline: Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone
Feeling empty, I can...
Dana: Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Marceline: Some things I'll never know and I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
But I'm sitting all alone
Feeling empty
Dana: I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Marceline: Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
You're better off without me
I thought it was gonna be over for me. I thought that I was never gonna follow my dream. But all that changed when I saw him…..
