Author's note: Well, read and review telling me if I should either continue or stop wasting my time. Sorry if I didn't put enough of the characters' catchphrases but I don't watch Adventure Time in the original version too often, I watch it dubbed, so yeah... if you could help me with that I'd appreciate it.
Prologue: A rave in the nightosphere
"LSP, we shouldn't be here and you know it." Bubblegum complained. She would have wanted to whisper it, but the loud music wouldn't allow so, hence she had to yell to be heard.
The Lumpy Princess only made a disapproving sound and a gesture with her hand.
"This is so stupid," Bubblegum thought "it's not like we're going to pass unnoticed."
She looked at her crew once again to confirm so: the well-known princesses were closely following her, all of them looking around, some of them scared, some others, fascinated. Lumpy Princess, the chilliest of them, was leading that night and she seemed to be very excited for not being pushed aside by Bubblegum's presence; it could have been said that she was "levitating" of emotion and happiness, if it weren't for the fact that LSP literally did so.
It was nightosphere's free night: Hunson Abadeer seemed to have noticed how lucrative was his realm, promoting wild raves that ended up even fuller than the lines to talk to him.
The place was darker and warmer than usual and plus, there was deafening music and joy screams from the party people, who were dancing something like slam.
"We shouldn't be here…" Princess Hot Dog seconded with trembling voice, even when she herself thought it was an excellent idea. There were so many people and she felt insecure with her short height and long length, she could be stepped on in any minute.
"Hey, where is Princess Turtle?"
"Wasn't she with you?"
"Ouch!"
"Princess Wildberry, are you ok?"
"Someone juiced me!"
"Lumpy P, seriously! We've been here for a while and the only thing we accomplished was feeling uncomfortable."
"Hey girls, isn't that Turtle Princess?"
They had troubles seeking Princess Turtle, who was dancing on top of a cliff of the nightosphere. The librarian seemed to be having the time of her life, dancing so close to a fire lake with so many demons around. That seemed to chill the princess a little.
"You see? Turtle Princess already got settled." Lumpy Princess said with a resolving tone.
"Don't be so boring, tonight is ladies night!"
The others started yelling unintelligible things due to the noise, but seeing their expressions, Bubblegum knew:
She was doomed to spend the rest of the night in there.
"And you girls wanted to leave!" Lumpy Princess screamed.
Not even Bubblegum could deny they were having a nice time. Once you got over the fact that you were in an underworld's rave with weird demons around and fire seas everywhere, it wasn't so bad.
They had joined a small group of nightosphere's born-and-raised people, who seemed to ignore they were amongst princesses. The motto when they first arrived the place was "don't drag too much attention towards us", which was a long forgotten thing.
"Girls, I have an idea." LSP announced wiggling her eyebrows in a mischievous way.
"Let's play something!"
Princess Wildberry laughed.
"LSP, we're not children."
"Not that kind of games, you lump head." LSP cleared out, crossing her arms.
"Let's play something funny!"
"Like what?" Everyone asked with excitement.
LSP thought for a moment, with her hand close to her mouth.
"Hmm… oh, I know! I'll be right back"
"LSP, don't get too far!" Bubblegum asked but Lumpy Princess had already left.
"What could she possibly thought?"
"Something funny, I hope!"
After a while, so long that they almost had forgotten her, she went back with a huge smile plastered on her lumpy face, holding something.
"What do you have there?"
She smiled, satisfied.
"Glowing sticks, all of the same color… I asked Party Pat for them." She momentarily turned to point the tall and slim anthropomorphous bear that was break-dancing while being cheered on.
"They're all marked with a number."
"Uh-huh, so what?" Bubblegum impatiently asked.
"Before we pull out a number, we'll say who will be the number in charge." She wisely answered.
"And then we say another number, who has to take a dare!"
"I don't like the sound of that"
"Oh, come on, PB!" the others begged.
"It sounds fun!"
"I won't play." Bubblegum categorically stated.
"Are you afraid?" LSP teased her, wiggling her eyebrows one more time.
Bubblegum snorted towards the low-pitched voice princess.
"Of course not, give me that!" she said taking the box containing the glowing sticks away from LSP. She decided to settle down that matter once for all; surely the princesses would end up bored after a few dares.
"Number three must obey number five!"
All the princesses rushed to grab a number through the small hole on the box. One by one, the princesses revealed which number they got, some of them sighing with relief and others laughing nervously. The small group they had joined wasn't small anymore: nosy ones were gathering to see what they were planning. All of this made Princess Bubblegum upset.
"I'll be ok, nothing will happen. Besides, even if I have to fulfill a dare, how bad can it possibly be?"
None of the princesses that already revealed their numbers had three or five. The only ones left, were PB and LSP, who stared at each other intensely, still holding the small stick and covering the number.
"Come on, Bonnibel, calm down." She tried to chill herself. "It's not me, it's not me, it's not…"
It was her.
LSP had finally opened her hand, letting everyone know that she had number five.
"Oh my glob!" she screamed out of excitement.
"I knew it! You must obey me, I am the princess and you are a peasant." She mockingly sang.
Bubblegum paled… how in the world could it be her? She was a scientist, a nerd… she knew it depended on the odds and still she took the risk…
She shook her head. It was worthless to wallow on sorrow, the only thing she could do was facing it like the princess she was.
"Well, well, PB…" Lumpy Princess slowly said. Bubblegum didn't like her expression at all.
"It's time for you to have fun! We have to choose a nice punishment… ehem, I meant, dare."
LSP thought for a while. She thought for so long that other princesses grew impatient, yelling suggestions at her and even their public was intervening.
"No!" LSP yelled.
"We have to pick something worthy!"
Suddenly she half-closed her eyes, letting a giggle out.
"I know…"
Bubblegum swallowed without even noticing.
"Just say it." she said pretending to be tired already, but actually she was frightened. She considered LSP her friend, but sometimes she could be a little dense.
"You have to kiss someone." She finally said, getting disapproving shouting from the crowd and Bubblegum sighed with relief.
"It could have been worse, I got scared over nothing."
"You have to kiss her." The floating princess said, levitating higher and pointing at something a little bit far.
Oh, no.
Not her.
Marceline Abadeer was on the stage, ready to perform.
