Ash's P.O.V. She looked so much like Meghan, bringing back old memories. After we were together for a while, she got pregnant with Kierrian and broke up with me, saying there was someone else she cared for. She released me from being her knight and married some other winter fey that I'd never heard of before, and with that relationship came princess Bubbles. She was a beautiful baby, seemingly always smiling at you. Even Titania and Mab had taken quite a liking to her, although with Mab you wouldn't be able to tell unless you lived with her your whole existence. When Princess Bubbles learned how to talk, at a very early age I might add, she asked me, "What's your name?" "Prince Ash." I told her. She wrinkled her nose, "Ew! No prince should be named after something that falls off a cigarette. I'll call you... Prince Charming." She said it with so much athourity there was no room for argument, no wonder Mab liked her. As she got older, she proved to be a very intellegent and observent girl, picking up on things others didn't. After Kierrian, my son, picked up on the fact that I cared for the child. He tried to have her killed. Goodfellow told everyone he had saved her, but he told me the real story. He walked into my room that night when everyone had gone to there chambers. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. He sighed shakily and whispered, "Just listen. You know what I told everyone back there?" I nodded, "You killed the evil fey and saved the princess." He shook his head, "Well... that didn't exactly happen. She killed them. All of them, single handedly. She used both winter and summer powers, and even some iron." I stared at him wide eyed, "Goodfellow, if this is your idea of a joke, I'm not amused." He glared at me, "I would not joke about My princess!" I flinched at the intensity in his voice, "Your princess, huh?" He visibly shook himself and mumbled, "I didn't mean it like that." I grinned at him, "Yes you did, my my my, Goodfellow. If I didn't know any better I would say you have a weakness for blondes." He smiled that huge horrifying smile that usually meant he was about to kill an army, "Lets focus on the matter at hand, shall we?" I nodded, eager for him to stop smiling like that, "Well we can't tell anyone that's for sure. Not even Meghan, it will be her duty as queen to notify the kingdoms." Goodfellow thought about it, "Alright but she obviously needs someone to teach her how to control her powers. I'm summer, you're winter, but we need an iron." I groaned, "Who can we trust?" "No one!" Puck yelled, frusterated. In the end we decided she would have to figure out iron on her own. Goodfellow was like a loyal pet, not letting Princess Bubbles out of his sight for even a second, unless she was in the bathroom. She didn't seem to mind, but them together usually meant trouble for me. I would get mad and then princess would smile sweetly and pull the cute card to get out of it. She was always getting out of trouble, even with Mab. One time she dropped pig blood all over her in front of the Summer, Winter, and Iron courts without Goodfellow knowing. Mab would of had anyone else frozen into a block of ice, but not Bubbles. After she dumped the blood on her Mab growled dangerously. Bubbles merely floated down to face her and giggled, "Red is most definately your color." Everyone else was gaping, staring unbelievingly at the young mischievous princess, except for Puck who rushed forward to block the princess from the wrath Mab was undoubtably going to hurl. Mab's lips quirked up slightly until she was smiling, "Your lucky your cute, but that won't stop this from happening." She whistled and Bubbles had ice cold water dumped on her. Bubbles shreiked and laughed and flew at Mab, tackling her. Mab laughed, genuinly and picked the princess up, "The prank war wasn't supposed to start till next week." Bubbles winked, "The element of surprise, hasn't failed me before." "I admire your tactics, but let me remind you I have never lost a war." Mab bragged. Princess stuck her tounge out at her, "I don't know you might have met your match!" They contined bantering and laughing and the whole exchange was mind boggling. Goodfellow walked up to me,
"Only Princess Bubbles could get away with that." I nodded, "It makes you wonder what else she could get out of." As time passed it turned out, she could get out of everything. On her fith birthday, she only asked me for one present. To help prank her Robin. How on earth a humorless winter and a five year old were going to prank the prankster, I had know idea. But she already had a plan and a cruel one at that. She told me to get a note saying to come to the trolls cave or never see the princess again. When she said get, I thought she meant write it myself but then she clarified, "No make a deal with a troll and get him to write it for you." How she came up with this plan, I had no idea. But who can refuse a princess? I got the note and Bubbles asked the trolls to help her. "And why would we do that?" "Well I trust, you have a grudge against Robin Goodfellow?" She smiled. The leader troll nodded, "That's right." "Well this is a way to get back at him, without having the Iron and Summer court come after you for killing him." In the end the trolls agreed, to my surprise. And when Goodfellow showed up and saw his princess in a cage with trolls pointing weapons at her, he started tearing up. It was a sight to see. Princess Bubbles was a great actor, crying and sobbing his name. "I'll do whatever you want just release her!" He cried. Finally Bubbles couldn't contain it anymore, she laughed, "There's no need for that." She jumped down frow the cage and asked the trolls, "Satisfied?" The leader chuckled, "Yes. I don't think anyone's ever seen Goodfellow cry before, thank you for that." She shook his hand, "No problem." Puck was frozen in shock, "Wait, what?" Bubbles laughed again, "It was just a prank My Robin, I would think you'd have some experience with those. He still stood there, "But I've... never been pranked." She smirked, "Well, there's a first time for everything." I walked out from my hiding spot then, "Dear me, princess. I think you have just stolen his title." He scowled at the princess, "That was not very nice." She giggled, "It seems as if the joker can't take a joke." He still scowled at her, "How did you get the trolls to agree?" She tsked him, "It looks like everyone who has ever been on Fairy has some sort of beef with you." He frowned, "Why did you prank me?" She glared at him, "You spend to much time with muma, your supposed to be My Robin." I gasped. She sounded so much like Puck when he had called her 'My Princess'. He smirked, "Jealous of your own mother... I'm touched." She stuck her tounge out at him, "Shut it, I'm hungry. Let's go home." She held out her hand and he took it still smirking, but I couldn't help but notice his hand was shaking. He barged into my chambers again that night demanding, "Did you help her?" I nodded, "But I only got a troll to write the note. She planned everything." He glared, "How would a five year old come up with that?" I shrugged, "Now you know why Mab likes her." He groaned. I grinned, "You seemed pretty scared down there. I haven't seen you cry before, not even after Ariella." He sighed, "I prefer to let out my emotions in other ways, but yes I was scared." I looked at him seriously, "She loves you." He scoffed, "She loves everyone, I merely hang around her more." I shook my head, "No. She would have to really love you to be so mad about something so small. You hear what she always calls you." He put his hands to his face, "I don't know if I can love her, like she needs me to." I rolled my eyes, "I get that you have had your heart broken on numerous occasions, but if you break Princess Bubbles heart, I will kill you." He groaned again, "Great, just fucking perfect! This is going to be like Meghan all over again!" I stared at him, "I don't think of her-" I cut off, did I love her? Those blonde curls, sweet blue eyes, that carefree smile. I did love her. He looked away from me, "You do, don't you?" "I think so." I admitted. My door opened then and a grinning blonde walked in, "What can I say? I'm irresistable!" Me and Goodfellow exchanged a look. "Shall you do the honors?" I asked him. "Gladly." He smirked. He stared in her eyes and said, "You didn't come up to Charming's room tonight. You stayed in bed after I left and fell right back asleep." She cocked her head, "I did?" He nodded his head, "Yes, yes you did." She grabbed his hair and kneed him right in the nose, "Funny, I don't remember it happening like that." I gaped and Bubbles glared at me, "Don't you try either or I'll kick you somewhere much more painful." I looked at a bleeding Puck and asked, "That should of worked, right? I mean Meghan didn't get a witch's spell on her or anything right?" "Let's go ask!" Goodfellow said picking Princess Bubbles up and charging out the door. I followed. Meghan was sitting on her throne talking to the leader of the trolls about what happened with Bubbles. Goodfellow walked infront of him, "So sorry to interrupt but this is of the up most importance." "You are dismissed." Meghan told the troll. Puck started talking a million miles a minute when he left, "Did you have a spell put on your unborn child? Or was it when she was born? Because I tried to do the mind control thingy and it didn't work on her? Why is that? Which witch was it, because I need to talk to her about that spell. You shouldn't put it on people, because somethings just don't need to be heard!" Meghan scowled at him, "No, I didn't get a witch to curse my baby. What were you trying to get her to forget?" Goodfellow didn't answer, so Bubbles did for him. "They love me muma, both of them." Meghan looked weary, "Who?" Bubbles giggled, "My Robin and Prince Charming. Isn't it sweet muma? But I love both of them too, so I don't see what the big deal is!" Goodfellow was right when he said the girl loved everybody. "It is going to be like Meghan all over again!" I groaned. Bubbles looked confused before she asked, "Did they love you too, muma? I know you were with Charming for a while but..." Bubbles abruptly jumped down from Puck's arms and ran to her room and I coldn't help but notice her eyes slowly filling with tears. She stayed in her room for a week just crying, she refused to eat or leave. Finally Puck and I couldn't take it anymore. We broke down the door and demanded she told us what was wrong. She sniveled and whispered, "She broke your hearts." We froze and realized, all of this was over us. Puck rushed up and hugged her, "I'm fine, see? That was a long time ago. Forgive and forget! Now will you please stop crying? Your killing me here princess." She wiped her eyes and mumbled, "I just hate thinking of you both hurting so badly. You both are so important to me, I wouldn't be able to bare causing you so much pain." She really did have a golden heart. I sighed, "You won't princess, for now... we can share you." Puck noddded hesitantly, "For now." Bubbles cheered, "Yay! Because my birthday party is next week and I'm gonna need some dancing partners!" I think she's bipolar. The party was fun for her, stressful for Meghan, and competitive for Goodfellow and I. Bubbles looked adorable in her blue silk dress and tiara, however she didn't seem to like it. "Ugh! I hate this stupid dress! When I'm queen, girls will be able to wear jeans to outings!" She said shrilly after her entrance. Goodfellow sighed, "There's no law stopping you..." She zoomed out of the room and came back in a second later, wearing skinny jeans and a somewhat formal shirt. "Much better! Oh my goodness!" She shreiked. "What?" I asked her. All the color drained from her face, and her eyes were lifeless. She pointed with a shaking hand across the room. I followed her finger only to see that Kierrian was here. "Get rid of him!" Puck snarled at me. Bubbles hid behind Goodfellow as I went to go talk to my son. "What the hell do you think you're doing here?" I demanded. He smirked, "Visiting my baby sister on her birthday. I'm not that bad of a brother." I motioned to her hiding in fear, "Does it look like she wants to see you?" He shrugged, "Well looks can be decieving... I better go ask her." Before I could stop him he ran up to her and Goodfellow. "Hey there sis! How've you been?" Kierrian smiled, falsely. She got out from behind Puck and frowned at him sadly, "If you leave now, I won't hurt you. And I don't want to hurt you, brother." He laughed sarcastically, "I'm not your brother anymore, Bubbles! And how would you hurt me?" She continued to frown as she said, "This is your last warning, please don't make me harm you." He laughed again, "I think it will be me who harms you!" He pulled out a daggar and raised it, Bubbles didn't even flinch as he started to bring it down. She stopped the dagger. He looked at her shocked as it began to turn to him. The dagger stabbed him in the stomach and then fell to the ground along with Kierrian. She kicked the dagger away and fell on her knees beside him. Bubbles kissed his forehead and whispered, "Forgive me, brother." He glared at her before he passed out a second later. Goodfellow looked at me as if to say,'I told you she had powers'. I rolled my eyes and picked Princess Bubbles up. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hid her face in my chest as she started sobbing softly, "I had to, but its not his fault. He's just sick. He's gonna get better." She really did see the good in everybody. Kierrian had been kicked out of Fairy and he now lives with Leanansidhe, Queen of the exiles. Why Leanansidhe is allowing him to stay there I have no idea, but I had disowned him after that night. Maybe Lea's still mad at Puck and I for refusing to let Bubbles sing for her, and this was her idea of revenge. The only reason I told Kierrian about Bubbles coming back was to warn him to back off, I had no idea he would show up. I think Lea's trying to get him to lure Bubbles to her kingdom. I remember the first night I heard her sing. All the courts were gathered to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the courts getting along. As a rule, one representative of each kingdom had to perform. Bubbles insisted she absolutely had to do it, and Meghan let her. I forget what Summer and Winter did, because she was perfect. She bounced on stage in curly pigtails and a sparkly dark blue dress. "Hi everyone! I know most of you, and of coarse you all better know me or you must not get out much." There was light laughter among the crowd and Bubbles beamed, "Alright, now tonight I'm going to be singing a song I wrote. I hope y'all like it!"
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
She stopped then and smiled shyly. The crowd had been stunned into silence. Her voice was angelic, like nothing I'd ever heard before. Bubbles started to frown and I realized she must of thought we hated it. Everyone cheered as loud as they possibly could, except for Goodfellow who was in the back corner of the stage, completely shocked and a little mad. I didn't understand his expression until later that night when he burst into my room, yet again. "You know, this is becoming quite a habbit of yours." He shut me up with a stern look and asked, "Can I trust you?" "Of coarse." I nodded. He looked hesitant, "Because this is a big deal. I could be executed and tortured." I rolled my eyes, "What did you do this time?" He ran a hand through his hair, "I took Bubbles to the mortal world a couple weeks ago-" I cut him off, "You idiot! Do you have any idea what could of happened?" He put a hand up to stop me, "She met someone." I growled, "Who?!" He sighed, "I don't know some kid. His last name was Utonium and she snuck back a few days ago to meet him. He was a man by then and had two kids, she was devistated." I closed my eyes as realization hit me, "The song." He nodded painfully, "I didn't know she could love someone so quickly. I sware, I was only going there to pull some pranks." I bared my teeth, "Well because of your selfish act, our Princess has a broken heart, and Leanansidhe after her." He looked bewildered, "What?" I scoffed, "Please. Like Lea didn't have one of her little pets monitering the show for some musical talent." He groaned, "Fuck. Well this ought to be fun. Shall we reject Lea now or later?" I grimaced, "She is not going to like this." Puck grinned, "Oh come on. What's one more enemy?" I rolled my eyes, "I don't think you can afford anymore enemies." He tsked, "I got off Furball's shit list for letting him hang with Princess. Who ever thought that cat could like anybody?" I smirked, "Well if it was anyone it would be Bubbles." "True." He chuckled. Lea was depressed after we told her no. "Why? She's so perfect! Sweet, cute, and talented! I let you have my violin!" She cried. Puck shook his head, "I gave you the mirror for her, and you can't take a princess." She waved a hand, "Pish darling, I've had many princesses at my humble aboad." "Fairy princesses?" I challenged. She glared, "Well, no. But I've never heard a fairy princess sing before. It was magnificant! There's a possibility she's better than me. Oh and know that if you ever repeat those last few words I will cheerfully beat you to death." I sighed, "Lea, you can't have this one. How about you can come over and hear her sing every once in a while?" Puck gave me a look and I shrugged. Lea thought about it, "Well... I guess it is better than going without. Deal, but remember I will hold you to our agreement. Ta ta, darlings!" Sometimes I thought Puck was to serious for someone known as the pranster. "What the hell?" He demanded when she left. I grimaced, "You really should watch the language. It's a rather bad habbit." "Would you get serious? What if Bubbles refuses?" He hissed. I gave him a disbelieving look, "She'll like the attention and you know it." He threw his hands in the air and walked off, "I'm done!" I smiled, I didn't know it was possible to annoy Robin Goodfellow.
