This is an AU that I've been sitting on for a really long time. The beginning is based off of a comic drawn by a friend I had on DeviantArt in 2013. It's been a while. Reviews and comments are much appreciated.
Starchy swept his broom back and forth over the hard rock ground of the old Abandoned Mine. Princess Bubblegum wanted to clean the tunnel up for a multipurpose area. From a lab for toxic experiments, to prison cells for the extremely dangerous.
"Starchy is the best sweeper in the kingdom. This old shaft will be as clean as a whistle when ol' Starchy's done with it!" He mused to himself, and walked farther down the tunnel. Starchy hummed as he swept the broom back and forth, taking slow even steps as his wiped dust and small rocks away.
After a few minutes Starchy stopped sweeping, and wiped his brow. "Starchy's arms are feeling a little limp." He sighed and leaned up against the nearest wall. "This would be the time when a spider would fall on Starchy's head unexpectedly and bite." Falling victim to his own fortune, a white spider fell from a web above him, and bit him viciously.
Panicking, Starchy roughly brushed all over himself. Failing to knock the spider off, he started to run about until he ran face first into a wall. He fell back with a thud, and rolled around on the ground until he heard the crunch of the arachnid's small body.
Starchy sat up, rubbed his swollen head, and looked up at where he had smacked head-long into the shaft wall. Some loose rocks were shifting and falling over the previously swept ground. With a 'hurumph' Starchy stood and started to move the rocks away. Soon more were falling, and it was clear to him that the area had collapsed at one time. After a little excavating, he was running back up the tunnel towards the Royal Palace.
Starchy yelled breathlessly as he ran, "Princess! Princess!"
