A/N: I'm glad I was able to post this chapter soon enough. It is a very busy week at school and I had a lot of homework… -_- I just centered this whole chapter about carol since she is the main character and there was barely any of her in the last chapter… please review and tell me what you think about this story so far.

Disclaimer: I do not own adventure time.

A pair of royal purple eyes fluttered open and blinked for a few seconds it was still a long while before sunrise and there was still a dark blue veil over the sky. Everyone would probably be asleep at the time, 4:00 am, but it was a fact that Carol was both a night owl and an extremely early riser at the same time if that was even possible. A loud yawn escaped her lips and she felt stiffness and a dull ache all around her neck and shoulders.

"How unfortunate, it seems as if I have fallen asleep at an unintended place once again… and again…" she muttered to herself with her usual calm demeanor but it was obvious she was not pleased at all by the end of the sentence; her eyebrow was twitching uncontrollably in annoyance, her lips were pursed in a thin line and her eyes set in an absolutely murderous glare. She fell asleep last night while finishing of the final touches of a previously half destroyed and rusted all over motorbike (only glob knows what happened to that) that a client of hers dropped off about a week before. Now all of the extra oil she was going to put on the more rusted parts of the vehicle was smeared on her face and the tips of her short pure white hair were drenched in it.

If looks could kill then everything around her would probably be pile of ashes by then.

After cleaning all the oil off of herself and slinging her backpack around her shoulder that hurt less, she grabbed her tool box and her bag full of all sorts of candy that she couldn't go anywhere without. She walked out of her little tunnel after closing the door to her messy workshop and took a step out where she could see the caves entrance from afar. She was just about to take a step forward when a loud growl was heard from behind her. It was expected that wild animals would come into a cave that was not claimed as shelter yet by another, most likely, stronger and more dominant animal. It was the perfect place for them, well, that is until the actual owner of the cave sent them a deathly glare (or something even worse when she was in a sour mood). The bear had it coming.

She was still wearing her slightly bored poker face with dark looking eyes that showed that she was still angry about the earlier incident; her shoulders were still aching and she wanted to let out some anger. So she finally used her most feared card; she put down her façade and let her real emotions show,(this was only done with anger and even that was rare). Her eyes were narrowed and set in a terrifying glare straight at the bear, her head was held high and she was looking down at it, as if saying to it she had complete control over it. The superior one out of them was obviously her.

But the thing that probably would've made anyone else wish to be at an execution platform rather than there was the crooked, predatory, wicked, sinister grin she gave him for a split second that took up a third of her face.

-~OooO~-

Carol set off for the candy kingdom about an hour after sunrise on her own erm… form of transportation A.K.A the bear she scared half way to death even though a few banana guards were standing outside with a carriage attached to a horse looking creature. She opted to have more fun with the bear. Correction: watch it squirm pathetically under her bored poker face that actually hid more than she would ever let on.

Carol didn't know there would ever be a good side to riding the back of a bear in an uncomfortable position; it only took a little less than an hour to get to her destination! Who knew that heavy bears bet horse-like creature chosen specially to get you places on time. A small cabin beside the cave that Finn and Jake were venturing in was where she lived; even though she spent most of her time doing her work in her workshop or fixing things at the kingdom, she still needed somewhere to sleep and just relax even if she rarely had time to do that.

Her home was far from the well-known places in Ooo (like the candy kingdom and choose goose's shops/stalls) she despised being crowded by people and thought that the long trips were worth it if she could keep her own secluded space but that didn't necessarily mean she wanted to make long trips to go anywhere. So when she got there sooner than usual she was less angry than before. Oh well it was probably how freaking scared the bear was, she was sure that the image of her infuriated face would be a scar in his memory.

She had to wait to see the princess anyway. 'Even though I know her majesty will either be asleep at this time or half awake and completely unaware of her surroundings because she didn't sleep at all the night before, was just ushered out of the room by her butler and told to go to bed, so she would do exactly that (and probably until long past noon if she was working on one of her strange contraptions)'. 'How specific' wasn't royalty was supposed to set a good example for the citizens of their land.

"How ironic, the measly mechanic is awake and at work before the ruler of her land." She muttered under her breath while getting off of her ride there and moving her hand in a shooing motion for it to leave before all the candy people started freaking out.

She walked up the stairs and pushed open the doors slowly, wincing at the light that hit her face.

A/N: cliffhanger…kinda…
