Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum sat at a large, round table surrounded by all the princesses of Ooo. The meeting of the Royal Order had been going on for two hours already, and the agenda stretched on another page and a half. Bonnie sighed, and fidgeted with a lock of her pink, gummy hair. Her zest from meetings had faded, and the princess idly wondered what her girlfriend, Marceline Abadeer, was up to after being left alone in the Candy Castle this long.

Bonnibel's eyes wondered down the agenda, falling on the next line item: Royal Decree. She wondered which poor princess would be receiving a Royal Decree this time. Royal Decrees were issued when a princess was not doing her duties as outlined in the multiple treaties that kept the communities of Ooo at peace. Usually Royal Decrees were about little things, like when Breakfast Princess imported flapjacks to the Slime Kingdom rather than pancakes, but they always lead to hurt feelings and fighting and made any meeting go on twice as long as it should.

"Now we move on to line item 49, a Royal Decree for Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum of the Candy Kingdom," Bounce House Princess announced.

Bonnibel's head shot up, and she pretended that she had been paying attention all along. She struggled to think of anything she had done lately that deserved a Royal Decree, but she couldn't think of anything that would anger the fellow princesses.

"According to a complaint made by an anonymous peer and agreed upon by the Council of Ooo Royalty," Bounce House Princess read, "Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum has acted recklessly in the recent past with no regards to who would take over her kingdom if she was to be incapacitated in any way. This is, as we all know, a violation of several treaties-"

"That's donkers!" Princess Bubblegum yelled. "What kind of danger have I been in?"

"You and your girlfriend did go staking vampires, or whatever," Lumpy Space Princess said, her arms folded. She hadn't been fond of Bonnibel since Marceline began spending more time with the princess and less time with the purple princess.

"And remember that time when you almost died from getting dropped into the Well of Power?" Breakfast Princess chimed in.

"And then after that, when you were all young, and the lemon man took over?" Wildberry Princess exclaimed.

"Well yes," the princess said, "but that doesn't mean I've been acting recklessly or anything."

"But that is kind of what it means, PB," Flame Princess said. "I mean, it's not that hard to name an heir to take over your kingdom if something happened. We all have one. I have Cinnamon Bun, Slime Princess and Breakfast Princess both have sisters that could take over…"

"I don't need a freaking heir to run my kingdom, I manage just fine on my own!" Princess Bubblegum stood, her fists clenched at her sides. "No one can run my kingdom like me, I created the candy people for Glob's sake!"

"The issue has been settled, Bonnibel," Bounce House Princess said. "If you do not have an heir in training or a solid plan made for your kingdom in the event of your passing within the year, all treaties you have with other kingdoms will become void. Now, on to the next item on the agenda…"

Later that evening, Marceline lounged on Bonnibel's bed, watching as the princess stalked around the room, pacing back and forth. She was wearing nothing but a skimpy pajama outfit, and the Vampire Queen was in a confusing state of worry, arousal, and amusement.

"I just don't see how they can all just hand over their kingdoms all willy nilly! I mean, Flame Princess would let Cinnamon Bun take over if something happened to her for Glob's sake!" Princess Bubblegum yelled.

"What about Finn?" Marceline asked, itching to grab her bass from the corner but worried that Bonnie would think she wasn't taking her problem seriously.

"No, no," the princess replied. "Finn will always be a boy at heart, no matter how much training I could give him. He always wants to adventure off to some distant land, anyway. Same with Jake."

"Jake Junior?"

"Of course not! Remember that time she orchestrated the robbery of the Royal Shard? She's not ruler material!"

"What don't you just make one?" Marceline asked, her voice dripping with unnoticed sarcasm.

"Of course not, not after Goliad! We've already seen that that will not work!" Bonnibel crossed her arms and plopped down on the foot of the bed.

"I meant the old fashioned way," Marceline grinned. She floated over to the princess and kissed her neck. "Have a baby. Let's start now."

"A baby…Yes! A baby!" The princess jumped up, sending Marceline crashing to the bed. "I'll be in my lab if you need me!"

"Wait, I was only kidding…!" Marceline yelled, unnoticed by the excited princess.

Marceline flopped onto the bed and put her hands over her face.

"Oh, fuck."
