First of all, I would like to apologize because I haven't posted in awhile. Even if it's still Christmas vacation there are still so much things to do in school and at home so, I'm pretty much busy. And this Monday, classes will resume and two weeks after that will be our dreaded midterms. Yeah! (sarcasm implied).

Anyway, it's Bonnibel's time to shine in this chapter. Yay! Also, I'm sorry if my characters were a 'bit' out-of-character. Maybe, I'll just blame it to the story since this is completely an AU. So there you go. :D

Anyway, thanks to everyone who read, favorite, and followed, and of course reviewed. Very very very very much appreciated. XD

Chapter 3

Bonnibel Becket was born from a rich and powerful family. Ever since she was a child, she was taught the best and proper manners to succeed the family business and the political affairs their family had in the land they founded. At first it was only called the Land of Ooo. It started as a small town until it grew and grew that many families have been seeking their help to also grow a nation.

Eventually, all the leaders of the neighbouring cities decided to make the Land of Ooo a country since different kingdoms have been in league with them. Kings and Queens from different kingdoms united just to bring back the peace the inflicting wars had been causing. In the midst of all this, the Becket family stood up and made them to serve as their leaders.

As time passed by, changes had been seen in the said country. It was now governed by different species in their own lands. Because of this, different kinds of governments have been used just to see what the best way to govern their own citizens was. At long last, they bring back the monarchial government since it was the befitting way as what they can see.

Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Dukes, Duchess and other titles ruled their kingdoms and lived in their palaces. Citizens of different kingdoms are happy to know this. Economic and social standings had been balanced well and crime rates had been decreasing ever since. Everyone was happy to know that they have wonderful rulers.

Since the country was originated, the families were still in power due to the prolonged existence of their species.

The Becket family was an example.

The Beckets are a family of candy and they were the rulers of the Candy Kingdom. Alexander Becket was still the head of the family even all those thousands of years. He is the one who founded the land of Ooo and lead the kingdoms to sought peace in each of them. And he is Bonnibel's father.

At this time of power and leadership, Bonnibel was born. Some part of her was made out of bubblegum just like her mother, Elizabeth.

Just like what was said earlier, at such a young age Bonnibel was taught how to act like a perfect princess. From the way she walks, the way she eats, the postures and hand gestures she would make, and other proper etiquette every princess should know, Bonnibel perfected it. And the princess loves it. She loves all the lessons she was taught. She was also taught that what she was doing was for the sake of her kingdom and citizens.

Another thing she knew well enough was that her parents both expected great things for her. She loved her father and mother and their citizens. Regrettably, since she was the successor of the kingdoms she was always protected by the banana guards and even the gumball guardians thus, making it not easy to make friends with the other candy citizens. Although, she was a little sad about this things she needed to turn a blind eye to this.

Since she has royal blood, her life expectancy is prolonged making her near immortal just like her parents. Because of this, her aging period will become slow and unhurried when she reached a certain age.

At age thirteen, it seemed that her age stopped at that point but the truth was she still ages but only at a slow rate. Eventually, she met citizens of their country, whether it was her citizen or from the neighbouring kingdoms. She also met different kinds of princesses in which some of them became her friends. Everything was going alright.

As for the family business they had, Elizabeth was the one who founded it. It was a candy and sweets factory. It was founded later when the wars had stopped and the uprising of the age of industry was in bloom.

As everyone else knew, she had a passion in inventing new things especially new flavours and kinds of candy sweets. And so that was how their candy factory originated. When Bonnibel arrives at the right age, this factory would be one of the many things her parents would be leaving to her.

The Princess was at age fifteen when his father, Alexander Becket died from old age. He had been alive for thousands of years and it was his time to go now. He died contentedly knowing that her only daughter and princess will be succeeding all his works and the kingdom he cherished. It didn't take longer when her mother, Elizabeth Becket also died. Same as her father, she died happily, leaving the family business to her daughter.

Ever since the loss of her parents, Bonnibel Becket became busier than ever. Other than ruling her kingdom, she had to hold and attend meetings with different kingdoms to discuss things concerning their country. In the past, her father was the one who calls the meetings and gatherings but since his death, Bonnibel was the one who had to carry that duty now.

Other monarchs were against Bonnibel's reign at first but eventually they saw how responsible, wise and clever she was and so they let her take the work.

Of course, Bonnibel also had to manage their family business. When she doesn't have to take political matters concerning her city, she comes to their candy factory. She manages all the paperworks needed there. Although, she had a secretary and workers in the factory, she still had to come and go in the factory since her presence was still necessary there.

Another thing the princess enjoy was experimenting in her own private lab. She spends most of her free time in there, mixing vials and substances to discover something new.

Ever since she was a little girl, she became fascinated on how certain things work. And so she began testing subjects and observing their functions, capacities and limitations until good results would be produced. That was how the pink monarchy started to became a brilliant scientist.

Regarding her name, the princess doesn't want anybody to call her in her first name. The only people she let was her father and mother who were now dead and so no one ever calls her first name anymore. Because of this, her candy subjects called her Princess Bubblegum.

Now, over 150 years had passed since her loss. Many things change again this time, mainly the government. The government system changed per se.

Kingdoms became cities and Monarchs became Mayors. The only thing that doesn't change anymore was the princess's age.

She was 18 years old and will forever be 18. She never worries about that since she prioritizes her kingdom or should I say her city now.

The citizens don't seem too happy at all about this but they adapted the changes and became okay with it. Along with the governmental change, science and technology rise. Princess Bubblegum had a large contribution in this issue. Being a scientist, she invented and innovated things that may help her city until everything was considered in peace again.

With concern to her city, it is now called Ooo City. Before, it was just the Candy City but since it was now the capital of the Land of Ooo where most of the transactions, meetings and gatherings take place and the city Princess Bubblegum rules, which was their leader, they followed the name of the country they were in which is the Land of Ooo.

Most of the population in the city area is still candy people and even though the government system change and the Princess is now the Mayor of the city, her citizens still call her Princess Bubblegum. Bonnibel couldn't resist her citizens since she loved them all like they were her children which was partly true since some candy people were made by Bonnibel. She really loved her people and would do everything for them and for their sakes.

Her parents, Alexander and Elizabeth left many things to Bonnibel, but what they really leave in Bonnibel's mind is their family saying/motto which is "Responsibility demands sacrifices".

Princess Bubblegum knew this ever since she was a child and sometimes she couldn't do something about it because she knows she was the only one who could do all the responsibilities left behind.
