Her name was Bubblegum, she hadn't the faintest idea of where or how or even when she got the name, but she was Bubblegum. Just Bubblegum, nothing else. She had no kingdom, city, or village to call home and she was of no distinguishable race or species, so she had no proper title. Bubblegum had no family, but she held on to a little necklace with a blue gem as big as her eye like a family heirloom. In truth she had found it in a cave that she had slept in one night. The purple cloth she wore around her torso were once curtains in a now abandoned home. The dirty threadbare cloth was in no way glamorous, but it was better than nothing. Her skin and unevenly cropped hair were as dirty as her cloth

She might have a chance at being attractive if she was tamed. More important then her looks however was her mind. No one knew it, not even her, but Bubblegum was a genius. She could be capable of solving problems even the smartest of scientists couldn't figure out, if she was given the knowledge. At the moment she could only do simple addition and subtraction. Counting and numbers were concepts she had learned through over hearing people talk. Which is how she learned to speak without it sounding like gibberish. She would have loved to learn more, but food was more important than knowledge. The poor girl did not have a home or anyone to love her, she was a wild animal, but she loved to pretend to be a person. She made sure to wear her cloth and necklace like lady people whenever she was near a lake, so she could see her almost person-like reflection.

One night Bubblegum had found herself in the Vampire Kingdom doing just that, when a couple of boys looking for a bit of fun spotted her. The boys did not find to her a be an attractive young lady, but instead a wild animal to mess with. One flung a stick at her and she screamed, but they were on her before she could run.

Bubblegum woke up in a cage with a chain around her neck. Her cloth was ripped but still covered her, and she still had her necklace. She tried to stand but her feet hurt too badly. Her throat hurt, possibly from screaming. The boys must have knocked her out cold.

Bubblegum looked out the bars of her cage, there were other animals. She was in a pound, she wasn't a person, she was a cold, abused, pound puppy who hadn't had anything to eat.

She heard people talking down the hallway. There was a man, in what seemed to be the pound uniform, and a woman. The woman had curly black hair, moon-like skin, and large pointy fangs. Her dress suggested she was of nobility.

"And who may this sweetie be?" The women said as she approached Bubblegum's cage.

"That my lady was brought here last night. It was being hassled by some teenage boys and has been out cold until just now," said the man. The lady stuck her hand in the cage and petted Bubblegum's head. Bubblegum felt safe around this woman, she called her a sweetie, which is what people called ones they cared about.

"I want it, it'll make a good replacement for my wolf, who idiotically decided to sink it's teeth in electrical wiring,"

"I am sorry to hear that my lady, but as for the animal you may have it free of charge as you are Queen Marceline's closest confidant."

"The wolf was a lousy beast, I think she'll be much more fun," she said before turning to Bubblegum, "You're coming home to the castle with Master Kelia, and we're going to have the best of fun,"

Home? Did she say home? She's going to have a home, Bubblegum found this to be very exciting.
