Part 2: The New Heroine

"what's with the whole 'human' thing?" I asked as the piñata nodded at the prince.

"There aren't… many humans in Aaa." Gumball said plainly. I left it at that as the piñata opened its mouth

"Announcing Prince Gumball and his guest; Ellie the Human!" the candy people all turned to me. It was a bit embarrassing- the way they stared at me in awe. I could feel my face heat up.

"Hello my loyal subjects! This is Ellie! She will be my guest until further notice! Please give her a warm welcome….." he suddenly looked up as the sky outside the castle began to darken. "Oh no…."

"Oh no what? What's wrong?" just as I said that the glass was shattered by a barrage of ice. I heard what sounded like a witches cackle.

"prince Gumbaaaaaaaall I have come for youuuuuu" the ice queen floated in on her ice and grinned.

"who the HELL is that?" I yelled at gumball

"the ice queen. She tries to kidnap me so I will marry her. Fionna used to stop her but fionna isn't here" Gumball backed up. Ice queen completely ignored me and got uncomfortably close to the prince.

"hello gumball. Are you ready to be my groom?"

"no way ice queen!" he said defiantly. The ice queen growled.

Angry that I had been ignored, I went up to the ice queen and tapped her shoulder. "pardon me" I said politely.

She turned around "who are you?" she gave me an obnoxious glare. I wasn't about to take her shit. I slapped her across her face.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" I yelled to her old face. She was aghast

"how dare yo-" I slapped her again before she could finished

"OUT!" I screeched. She floated away- obviously afraid of me.

"I'll be back!" she disappeared pretty damn quickly. The entire candy kingdom looked to me in surprise.

"We have a new heroine!" Peppermint Maid announced happily as the candy kingdom cheered. I looked around. Heroine?

"Thank you, Ellie." Prince Gumball came up to me and took my hand. "You saved me from that vicious ice queen. That was totally math!" he exclaimed. I had no clue what he meant my "math" but I nodded anyway. "Tonight we will have a ball in your honor! But first! Let me take you to where you will be staying." He didn't even let me say anything. I was whisked away to the far reaches of the castle and he took me to a room.

Pink. Pink EVERYWHERE. Pink walls, Pink floor, pink tables and dressers. Pink ceiling, pink BED, pink bed sheets and candles. I didn't want to offend him by telling him this wasn't my style, so I turned to him and bowed lightly. "thank you your highness."

"oh no don't thank me. Anything for Aaa's new hero~" he grinned. "Please choose from the outfits in the closet. The ball will start at 7 o'clock sharp~" he left.

I was now alone in the pinkest room I had ever been in. I chuckled "Chloe would hate this…" I said, then realizing I had no idea who Chloe was. It made me sad. I sat down on the bed and sighed. I thought for a long time about what I would wear.

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the window. When I went to see what was there, all I saw was a box. I brought it inside and read the note that lie atop it.

Welcome to Aaa, Ellie the human. Here is something ever adventurer needs.

ML

"Who is ML?" I asked aloud- though no one was with me. I opened the box and smiled. What a lovely color that was.
