"I want a sister!"
In the land of Ooo, there rested many prosperous kingdoms. Some of them where as festive and exciting as the Cloud kingdom, and some where as cold and quiet as the Ice kingdom, but none where as joyous and happy as the Candy kingdom.
Everyone who lived and rested in the Candy kingdom where so full of life and happiness, that everyday was beautiful and was celebrated as if it were their last. Everyone who walked, talked, slept, and mingled in the Candy kingdom always had a smile on their face and a helping laugh to heighten the spirits.
But there was one particular little bubblegum girl that wasn't in such a happy mood.
At the heart of the Candy kingdom rested the largest candy castle in all of Ooo. Within that place lived the royal family, and all their loyal servants that tended to the family's well being and the hygienic safety of the castle. Down the hallways, and through the many commons areas rested two rooms. One room was for the King and Queen of the Candy kingdom. The biggest room in the castle. The other room was for their little Princess Bubblegum.
Within this room rested a king sized pink bed with many pink curtains hanging around it, A large dresser filled with many beautiful flowing dresses. On top of that was a big mirror that had many jewelry boxes around it. The walls where painted a bright pink. A Royal bathroom and closet was put at opposite ends of the room's walls, and more toward the center of the room a treasure chest full of toys was placed.
This toy box is where our little princess can be found. As well as her parents.
"Please please please! Please let me have a sister!" Begged the young girl.
At just six years old, Princess Bubblegum was, by far, the smallest resident of the castle. Her parent's biggest fear was that their precious princess would get harmed if went outside the castle walls, so they banned her from leaving it. Constantly surrounded by adults that seemed to talk nothing but gibberish to her, Bubblegum's only means of entertainment where the toys in her treasure chest. Which she played vigorously with while asking her dumbfounded parents her big question.
The King and Queen looked at each other, and then back at Princess Bubblegum.
"Uhh…sweetie, it's not that simple. We can't just GIVE you a sister." Her father told her.
This filled Bubblegum up with even more irritation.
"Of course you can! Why couldn't you? You're the most popular guy in the entire kingdom! You can do anything you want!" The child exclaimed with her arms held out to emphasize her words. The king simply sighed, and knelt down to face his upset child.
"No, honey, I can't. Not for something like this. You see, your mother and I have grown much too old for more children. There are things that you can't understand about that, but you will in time." He said. His voice was quiet, and purposely soothing.
And too old they where. After they had Princess Bubblegum, the queen quickly went through menopause, and could no longer hold reproductive eggs. The royal couple was not disappointed though, because they knew that as long as they had Princess Bubblegum to love, they would always have a family.
Princess Bubblegum crossed her arms, and turned away from her father.
"It's just so boring here. Nobody wants to play with me, not even Peppermint butler." She stated, half hoping that her parents would melt from sympathy and reconsider.
"I've seen Peppermint butler play with you many times," The queen spoke up.
"Yeah, but it wasn't like he wanted too. It's his job, that's the only reason why. I want to play with someone that actually wants to have tea parties with me, and play dress-up with me, and have fun with me. And you won't let me out of the castle to play with other kids," Bubblegum whined on. Her parents knew that by any means, she wasn't going to give up on wanting a sister. Despite the effort her parents made to try and talk her out of demanding a sibling, Bubblegum never gave up asking.
Day after day, the young princess would keep demanding a sister, and every time she got the same answer. Instead, her parents offered her more toys, or science lab kits to play with. Even though the extra toys kept Bubblegum busy, it never ceased her wanting of a best friend, a sibling, a sister.
While Princess Bubblegum was mindlessly spoiled to no end, there was another little girl that wandered the deepest, roughest, most trashy parts of the Candy Kingdom. This girl craved the things that she needed to survive, such as food, shelter, and love. How did such a helpless child end up in this state you ask? Well, unlike Princess Bubblegum, this girl was something that most people despised and feared from the bottom of their hearts.
A vampire.
