Ellie and the Land of Aaa
Part 1: Arrival
Prince Gumball sighed a deep sigh as he worked in his laboratory. The land of Aaa was no fun without Fiona, and since she was on some epic adventure with Cake, she wouldn't be coming back for a long time. Who knows how long he would see her again. Gumball added some more of one chemical to another- trying to create a crystal ball so he could check up on Aaa whenever he wished- and maybe even Fiona if it worked right. He added a single drop of a blue liquid to the crystal ball, and with that the ball began to glow. "Whoa!" he jumped back and watched as an image appeared.
But it wasn't of Aaa
It was the living room of the average American home. Well, technically, it was me in the living room of the average American home. He saw me, on my laptop, typing up "The Tale of Elise and The Blake Brothers" with my normal serious face. In my ears were my buds and I was listening to "Hotel California" on my IPod Touch. He stared in awe at me. "A human? But where is she? That's definitely not Aaa" he was rather intrigued as he examined what I was wearing. I was still in my pajamas with my Black Veil Brides T Shirt and my Moo Cow pajama pants. As he went to touch the ball it began to glow brightly. The poor prince had to shield his eyes. When the light died down and Gumball could see again. But that's not all.
The crystal ball was gone, and in its place I sat. My laptop had disappeared. All I had was my iPod.
I looked at gumball. He looked at me.
The silence was deafening.
Finally, he spoke
"Who are you?" he asked as politely as he could to the strange human that was me.
"…" I couldn't remember, but I didn't want to admit that. I took my buds out and stared at him. "Who are YOU?"
"What? I asked you first!" he said. I spotted a mess of black hair at the window. It disappeared quickly. Gumball groaned as he noticed I wasn't paying attention.
"No. I asked YOU" I said plainly. I didn't know what had happened, where I was or who I was, but I wasn't about to let some pink guy boss me around.
"I am Prince Gumball" he said- trying to calm himself. "Now who are you?" he looked me right in the eye. I took a moment to swallow my pride.
"I….. don't know" I admitted- sighing. Gumball's face went almost instantly to a frown. I could see guilt on his face but I didn't ask.
"Well then… I guess I have to call you something…" Gumball took off his goggles and put on a thoughtful expression. "How about I call you…." He remembered a smidge of what I had been typing "Ellie!" he snapped his fingers as if he had just solved a great problem. He turned to me with an eager look in his eyes. "How does that sound?"
"That sounds… nice" I said to him. Ellie. I didn't seem like my name, but it would have to do
"Alright Ellie! Welcome to the land of Aaa. I am Prince Gumball of the Candy Kingdom. We are a land of candy people."
"Candy people? Cool" I finally got off the little pedestal and stood up. I was nearly 5' 7" and gumball towered a good 5 inches over me. Damn. "so… why am I here?" I asked
"I'm not sure. But trust me when I say I will help you remember who you are. But first, let's get you in some more appropriate clothes. He stared at my moo cow pants and black veil bride's shirt. I nodded. He led me to the royal tailors, where Peppermint Maid stood sewing up an outfit for the prince.
"Peppermint Maid! I need this girl measured for something nice!" gumball announced.
"Um, prince gumball, there's no need to go so far-"
"Oh nonsense Ellie. I want you to look nice. For now you will stay here, in the candy kingdom in the castle! It's the least I can do for… never mind." I was about to ask him about it when Peppermint Maid took me by the hand and behind the changing area. She measured me quickly, and seeing that I was a simple person picked out a simple dress for me to wear around. It still looked mad expensive and royal. As I put on the gloves she shoved me in a chair
"Miss Ellie, may I do your hair? It's a mess."
"Oh um, just brush it please. That's all" I tried to say politely. She did so, very nicely and gently. I sat still as she put my hair in a pony tail and put a big pink flower. I smiled.
"You look very pretty miss~" she complimented. I blushed.
"Thank you." I sat up and walked out. Gumball smiled.
"You looked good. Simplicity fits you" he complimented. Two compliments in less than five minutes. I was on a roll. He grabbed by arm gently and led me to a large ball room. A piñata hung over head. "if you would" he said to the piñata.
"What's her name?"
"Ellie. Ellie the Human" Gumball said.
