Author's Note: Wow... this is a long one and took me several hours to write. Finally the moment you've all been waiting for is here! Hope you enjoy it!

"Ouch!" I clench my teeth to keep from screaming. My maids never brushed my hair this hard.

"Hold still, Princess, your hair is very thick!" Peppermint Maid replies in a calming voice, and I start to sit still.

"Done! That wasn't so hard was it? Now on to your dress. I made it for you dear. I know you will love it!" Then she hands me a dress wrapped in plastic and leaves me to change. I unzip the plastic covering and gasp. It's stunning! It's the most beautiful shade of azure blue, which matches my eyes. It's long and it's made of several layers of fabric. No... not fabric, precious gems! And silver too! I slip it on, and it just looks right on me. It makes my white wings glow. Someone knocks at my door.

"Come in!" Gumball sticks his head in and gasps.

"You are beautiful! Now I know this crown will match!" Holding his hands out, a crown sits atop them. The crown is silver and has 6 points, each bearing a blue gem in the middle. On the base, a string of pearls sit, glowing in the light.

"Gumball! I love it!" I squeal with delight as he sets the crownon topof my head. I turn and face the mirror once more. My long white hair is down, the ends reaching my hips. My blue/green eyes glowing.

"Are you ready?" Gumball grabs my arm, and before I can reply we are in the ballroom atop a large set of candy stairs.

"May I present Price Gumball and Princess Adarellan!" Peppermint maid announces from somewhere off to the left. So many heads turn our way and a hush falls over the room, as we make our way down the stairs, the candy folk start clapping. I hear quiet whispers of "She's amazing" and "She looks good with Prince Gumball", and I blush.

Just as we are in the middle of the staircase the large doors open and Marshall Lee bursts through desperate to make an entrance, but stops in his tracks as soon as he sees me with Gumball. Marshall Lee turns and floats out.

"Wait!" I hear myself shout. In a blink of an eye I unfold my wings and jump. My wings snap open just in time and I fly after him. As soon as I reach him I grab his arm making him turn.

"What do you want?" He snaps at me making me flinch. "Why don't you go back to Gummy and you two can dance the night away!" He tries to turn, but I have a grip of steel.

"Listen. Gumball may be an old friend, but I have no feelings for him. I just grew up with him in Elysium."

"Then what do you want?" He shoots back at me.

"I wanted you here because I can tell you are different. Now lets go back. By the way, was your mother or father the demon?"

"How could you tell I was a demon?"

"I grew up in the underworld with my mom and then went to live in Erindell with my dad."

"Oh."

Soon we reach the gigantic chocolate doors, and I push them open. Eyes stare at me once more as my wings curl around me. Marshall Lee grabs my hand and I pull back my wings. Soon everyone is dancing and enjoying themselves. A girl and a very large cat come up to Marshall Lee and I.

"Hello Marshall!" The girl says in cheery voice.

"Princess Adarellan this is Fiona and Cake! Fiona and cake this is-" "I know this Marshall. She was announced for Pete's sake." The one called Fiona interrupts.

"Fiona!" Cake hisses. "She's a good friend of Prince Gumball! Treat her like one."

"No, it's fine! I got that all the time from souls in the underworld." I drop my hand to my side, sensing Fiona's jelosy and Cake's annoyance. Fiona's eyes widen a lot when I say this.

"You've been to the underworld?" Fiona leans in expectantly.

"I've lived in it. For a thousand years."

"Wait how old are you?" Fiona's nose scrunches as she asks this.

"One thousand and seven hundred years. Which is about 17 years for the fae."

"Ooo! Look refreshments!" Cake squeals pulling Fiona away before she can ask any more questions. Now Prince Gumball walks up to us.

"Ah! There you are Adarellan! I hoped you wouldn't leave after Marshall-" Gumball sputters as he sees Marshall Lee, who was once again holding my hand with a smug look on his face.

Ignoring Prince Gumball, Marshall Lee loudly asks me to dance. Thankfully, it's a slow song-a waltz- so I won't make a fool out of myself. One, two, three, one, two, three. I chant it over and over in my head until Marshall Lee dances us to the edge of the ball room and out onto the balcony.

Finally we've stopped dancing, and as soon as I looked up at Marshall Lee he leaned down and kissed me right on the lips. I push him back and he wimpers like a kicked puppy. "

I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. I turn and run back into the ball room as fast as I can, but before I can make it to the center I fall to the ground writhing in agony as a few of my feathers wither, break and fall out. Prince Gumball rushes to my side, as new black feathers grow in where the dead ones were. My glorious white wings are now streaked. And once again the world goes black.
