Princess Bubblegum P.O.V
Everything was normal; the gullible yet sweet candy people, the bright pink castle decorated in paper-thin taffy streamers and flakes of hard candy confetti in the ground, and a dashing Prince Gumball was talking to me and explaining why it was necessary to mold his hair every day. I was relieved to see that everything was normal.
A loud-thundering noise came from the entrance. WHAT THE FLIP! I saw Finns and Caeletruses intertwined hands, together, gasping for air, their clothes tattered from running. My wondering angered eyes met Finns sort of possessed ones. Princess Caelestrus from Eee! I felt a pang of pure anger. I never had imagined having her in my presence she looked different from when I could remember. When I hear the name Caelestrus I think nine year old cute, chubby-cheeked, curious little girl. But now I see a sourly beautiful 13 year old girl, ambitious, and has that a possessive gleam in her eye.
Caelestrus' P.O.V
I see princess bubblegum. She looks at me with anger, and I stare back with dignity and confidence. Suddenly I start to remember painful memories, and they didn't stop.
Princess Bubblegum's P.O.V
Cruel memories buried in my head were un-dug and flooding out like a hurricane.
Her shape shifting mother, Ambizione, used to be a close and loyal servant of my parents. But she and her daughter took advantage of their powers and used it to manipulate people to think that she was my father or her mother, and they started to pass outrageous laws in Ooo and Aaa, thinking that's what needed to be done. The new taxes took money away from working candy people and they used it to to start creating Eee.
But later everyone found out that there was an imposter, but they didn't know who was who, and neither did my brother or me. I was only 14 when this happened, so I didn't know what to do, and even if I did I wouldn't have the decision. Lemon grab would. To end suspicion lemon grab decided to banish both my parents and the imposters to a very far land named Eee.
Caelestruses P.O.V
Can't run away now can you? I stare her down, I start to hear some of her thoughts, but it's a little muddled, but I got the bases of things. Are you going to live in your head?
Princess Bubblegum P.O.V
Eee is a Kingdom, unlike Ooo and Aaa its majority is not candy people. The heart of Eee is filled with monsters, like vampires, shape shifters, and wizards. To the rest of the world, all that who there were outcasts. The Capital city looked more like Human cities. Eee is a newer city; it is placed in the borderline of Ooo and Aaa. Because it's made out of magic its location really doesn't have any principles.
Caelestruses P.O.V
Just wait, you're on the verge of hell. You don't know what its like in Eee. Being book smart doesn't count for anything.
Princess Bubblegum's P.O.V
A year later we were told that Ambizone and Caelestrus had taken over Eee. At the same time, I had to take over Ooo while Prince Gumball took over Aaa, we obviously found out which of our parents were, they were the ones as commoners, and the other two were ruling Eee. We found out because my parents died. Shape shifters are immortal. It had been really hard me and my brother, especially with Caelestrus and her mother still free, let alone leaders of a kingdom.
Caelestruses P.O.V
I hear her thoughts, I'm not a monster, I don't try to hurt people. What I try to do is help people, and not be biased. Stop feeling so bad for yourself! I feel myself burning at the thoughts of hers.
Princess Bubblegum's P.O.V
"Yo Peebes!" Finn was snapping his fingers in front of me, with Caelestrus behind him. I looked up, giving a little surprised shake of my head to hide anything suspicious "Anything wrong?" Finn looked concerned; he was just about anything but normal himself.
"I'm fi-fine" GET A GRIP! I wanted smack the memories out of my brain. Hard coming hard going. The memories wanted to flood out of me in the form of beads of sweet water.
"Excuse me, Finn," Caelestrus ignored him and walked in front of him.
"oh, hello Caelestrus." I directed my attention towards the soft bright pink scarf I was wearing.
"May I talk to you, " she was looking me in the eye, suspiciously looking and sounding. "in private?"
I took a step back. Should I trust her? Caelestra had ruined my life and was the cause of the death of my parents. I just want to go outside and get lost in my labyrinth of thoughts, while trying to straighten my so-called my brain.
I looked around. Finn had wandered off, enjoying the music, a song Marceline and Marshall Lee were singing, something about their childhood and fries. It was crowded, loud, dark and hard to actually see or hear anything.
Swiftly, quietly and quickly I was flown away from the lit- up stage unnoticed, weaved around other candy people out the door and to the back of the castle where the crystal rose garden was.
"Hey!" I was a little dizzy to actually say anything of full sentence capacity, I sat down on the cold bench in the garden and I look up to see Caelestra peering down at me in a bird form, large dark eyes staring me down. I stifled a gasp, knowing Caelestra, as well as many other shape shifters, can sense fear as well as a vampire.
"What did you want from me?" I stood up quickly and tilted my head upwards, trying to show confidence at the Princess that was looming over me
"Revenge." her voice was dry and threateningly low. "You monster, YOU killed my mother!" she was morphing back into a human, but her eyes seemed to stay the same. She slowly and quietly took a couple steps closer to me. She was still taller and she was looking down with a concentrated beam of hate.
I took a step back falling into the broken shards of the crystal roses. She walked closer to me again looking directly down with me staring up at her accusing snake-like eyes.
"Tell," she paused to take another step. "me…why."
Caelestas's P.O.V
Princess Bubblegum was playing stupid. Huh, stupid must run in her genes. I morphed into to a bird once again. I let out a squawk of disgust as I had to pick up this worthless creature in my claws. She must have gotten knocked out 'cause, there's a stupid gum-butt laying limp clutched in my feet, it felt like pure dead weight. An unwelcoming yet familiar entrance opened up I went inside and I was in Eee. I went in a mile or so and put her down on a random bench in the abandoned littered streets.
I was furious, and a part of me told myself that I had to "tell" her what I was feeling, even if she couldn't possibly hear me.
"How do you feel being thrown into some random, thief-filled, murderer-abundant city?" I was sharply whispering to the limp body
"only the fittest are able to live here, but how would you know?" my eyes started to become watery. I let out a shaky laugh at the pure truth of it. Tears glided down my cheeks, I couldn't remember the last time I let myself cry. When you're seen crying, you're marked down as nothing but a possible free meal in Eee. That's what happened to my last and only still alive 'friend' Annette.
"Well, you wouldn't know!" I was crying into this person who couldn't even hear me now, but I didn't care. "Because YOUR life is a cushion, there's always a something you can depend on, something you can fall on, and nothing happens! You don't have to worry about anything serious, like where you'll be sleeping the next night, or when you get to eat next."
"I'm just someone else's safety net, someone else's pillow," hair was sticking to my damp face "when they fall…" I was talking though my teeth "I get hurt. " I murmured, pure pain in my voice.
"You've taken away what was mine, and now it's crossed the line" I glared at her, wiping my cheek roughly.
"You'll see what it's like to be misplaced, having the closest people growing farther and farther away until you don't even know who they are anymore, when they're practically dead to you, and being taken away from a life…" I paused, voice cracking a little.
"Which now seems like heaven" I gritted my teeth.
My heart felt a thousand times heavier, with anger hatred weighing it down.
With that I walked away from the precious Hero to Aaa, the friend of many, the cause of my own mother's death. She would wake up in a little while, scared out of her wits, in the city of Eee, Just like what happened to me. I marched quickly back into Aaa, but differently. My hair was turning into one piece of pink, rubber-like goo, skin turning from a rich tan to a gentle pink. A formal, very pink dress fell down past my knees to my ankles. Let's see what its like to be everybody's "Hero".
