Caeletruses POV
I flagged down a pink and white checkered taxi. From here the castle would give me enough time to think about my plan, but for the first time in a century, I felt uncomfortable with my plan. I got inside the taxi and the man was kind enough not to make me pay, which was good because I had no money on me.
"Greetings child "I shifted around to see my mother
"STOP THE TAXI"I screamed at the driver instead of her. What the heck! I don't want to have anything to do with her. She was the one that had turned her back on me when she was the only one there for me.
I stepped out of the taxi; mom just seemed to seep out of the taxi that was driving away. I peered around making sure that no one was watching while we were going inside of the forest.
WHAT DOYA WANT, AND HOW'D YOU KNOW IT WAS ME" I turned around disgusted.
"Well any good shapeshifter would know Oh you know I just wanted to know how my shape shifting little child is" She smiled, so artificially it made me furious. I turned back to look her in the eye.
"I'm fine, but DONT call me your child. As a mother you should always be with her daughter, supporting her, never giving up with her, never turning her back on her, to teach her things she will need to know when she grows up. A mother is always there "I looked up to meet her gaze; I felt a tinge of pride standing up to her.
"Silly child" she was talking in an I-know-it-all tone, I wanted to just walk away but I do need to fight my battles.
"I made you stronger; you are what you are because of me!" I was angered disgusted and expressions beyond words.
"You're right I am this way because of you, I have a miserable life which depends on manipulating people, and not being able to trust anybody "I thought of Finn. My feelings for him are sincere but now it feels as though it's different because of what I really am, and how I live.
"Just leave me alone, I don't want to see you" I was on the verge of crying we both knew that.
"I want to see my actual mother that used to care for me, but I know she's dead within you"
"Fine, I'll leave you to your own business, I don't want to waste my time either with silly emotions that don't mean anything to you nor I. But you're not getting a warm welcome back to Eee" she flew up into the dark night sky "But just for you to know, I'm doing a little experiment on that stupid Gum Princess"
"I want you to know that, this isn't about her anymore, just let it go you sick psycho!"I don't care if anyone sees me. I don't care. She flew toward me as a wispy figure
"Then what do you want!"she was mad "I didn't raise you so you wouldn't have a life. Then she flew off into the darkness.
I found a tree and slid my back against it so I could sit down.
My own mother just blocked me out of her world and said that my feelings didn't count for anything. I want to see her but I want to see her before all that happened, before she got corrupted, before anything really mattered. I started to form back into myself. At this point all I want to do is curl up and go to sleep like nothing happened, and wake up in my mom's hands and not in those beasts. I want to be just normal. Ever since I was about eight I've had to learn not to take food for granted, and now I've learned not to take love for granite. As easily as it comes, it goes just as fast. All of it used to be a bitter sweet relation, but slowly it turned disgustingly bitter until a point where I'm living a pointless merciless life, in the cold bronze-like grip of a wicked-hearted nefarious beast, that once was a ravishing warm hearted person with open arms.
Finn POV
What the flip! I heard a scream so I followed the sound, I listened harder because it was dying down, then turned into sobers. I kept one hand on my sword and one on the tree.
I walked closer.
I saw who it was.
Relieve is what I thought.
"CAELESTRUS!"
Princess Bubblegum POV
I felt my hair it was turning more and more, human-like and along with the rest of my body. I quivered at the thought that anybody who would see me like this would probably recognize me. I pulled out a charm necklace there was a picture with me, my brother, and my parents.
It was before anything happened, we were so happy. I remember that day I was mad though because Prince Gumball was hogging up the test tubes and the electron microscope, and I complained so long. I smiled with tears forming, it was a sweet memory. I remember a lot of what we went through with my parents. They put me and gumball before anything else in the entire universe. They even wrote to us when they were in Eee, the last one they sent was the day they died.
My barrier broke and I started sobbing, I stopped walking and sat down on one of the half broken benches.
I pulled out several notes that I always kept with me, I unfolded them and started reading them. They were always there for me, when they were in Eee they always took time to write notes. Even if it was only 3 words.
Those notes were so simple, but it powered me through the days they left. 3 words. We. Love You. It helped so much, sometimes I felt like they fully devoted themselves to keep me and Gumball happy, even when they're not with us physically, they are here mentally. They are always here, to help with everyday challenges, and she would come in some of her dreams.
"Boni?" he softly whispered he was concerned and his eyes were becoming a deeper brown
"Oh, uh... It's..." I was deciding whether I should tell him. Well I guess I should, he's the only person in Eee that's going to help me.
"Can you bear an incredibly long story" I actually started hoping that he would listen
"Sure" he sat down as if he was going to sit there forever, well my story is like forever. I smiled, I love how he would listen to my problems, and I wiped my damp face
"Do you know how Caelestrus and her mother used to live in Ooo?" I didn't know how to start off the story
"Yeah" he floated up and picked me up bridal style and continued in the direction of where we were heading, He smiled at me. I gave him a huge grin.
I told him my story and he was appalled.
"Whoa, that must've been tough" He was thinking
"But Boni, if you think about it" Pausing, he stopped to word everything right
"Don't you think it was harder on Caelestrus?" his eyes turned dark until they looked black.
Aarons P.O.V
Boni was staring at me perplexed and a little confused
"Okay think about this, although you lost hope in finding who was your parents" I was recalling some of my own memories and my experiences.
"Your parents fought to stay in touch with you. Her mom betrayed her, she turned her back on her, stopped loving Caelestrus, and her newer primary goal was to live and become a powerful leader of Eee" I had always felt some empathy for her, we had similar stories...
"I n-never really thought of it that way" She looked a little light headed
"I guess we both wish it hadn't happened" sighing she continued" There's a side of her I never knew and one that I thought I knew wasn't real" she paused"uh could you put me down?" she giggled. I snapped back to reality realizing that.
She dug around in her satchel thingy. Stress crossed her face; Boni looked around searching for something.
"Boni what's wrong" she was on the verge of insanity.
"MY LOCKET" she screamed "did you see it, it was heart shaped and golden"
Oh, I shuffled things around in my pocket, I had seen it on the ground, and I picked it up for a couple bucks worth.
I opened it up; it had four people on it. The parents and two children standing idly. I recognized Boni's face in the photo, she was cute! Her hair was pink and pulled up and passed her shoulders. The back round everything was brightly colored the people looked delighted. Everyone seemed, content.
"Oh, here "I look up her eyes widen with a giant grin plastered on her face.
"I can't explain how much this necklace means to me!" she was as happy as she could be
"Oh, THANKYOU!" She intensely hugged me then kissed me on my cheek sweetly, she was so relived and happy.
I started to blush, a dull red was spreading across my face, It felt kind of good.
"I'm really happy that I have someone that I can lean on" she looked me in the face trying to read my thoughts
"I don't know what I'd do without you" she grabbed my hand. I decided to have some fun so I transferred some of my floating ability over to her so she could barley hover above the ground.
"Whoa" she was moving her feet back and forth like she was roller skating"this is so flipping cool!"
"Dude, you're only like an inch of the ground" I started laughing on by back hovering, while she was waddling there like a duck trying to move.
"C'mon" I grabbed her hand and started floating forward
"How is this even possible!" she was examining on how she was floating
"I transferred some of my ability to you, you know how I'm half warlock, but its only temporary" I was smiling
I moved closer than quickly kissed her on the lips. I stood back to see her expression. She wasn't mad, just paralyzed, she was blushing her flesh burning turning a reddish color. I smiled, and then guided her while floating. She got the hang of it, but since it was a little weaker she floated around like she was roller skating
"I'm getting kind of sleepy" she was yawning, and almost floating into a pole
"ok, let me find a building we can sleep in" I lead her into an abandoned building and she quickly fell asleep on the couch. I looked at her she was quickly changing her hair was still a pink but it got shorter, her flimsy noodle looking arms looked more realistic. What's happening?
Soon after I slept nearby floating in the air.
Princess Bubblegum P.O.V
I was surrounded in darkness but something brought me forward leading me out of the darkness. I looked up to see who was there.
"MOM, DAD!" I tightly hugged both of them" I miss you so much, and I'm going through so much now"
"Good to see you honey" Mom was looking back heavenly smiling
"Help me!" I was desperate now "you can come back right?" I felt like a little child again saying this but I don't care.
"I'm afraid not, you have to deal with things on your own now" my dad was talking
"But I'm glad that you found someone to rely on" He looked a little relieved
"What I think the key to life is to be able to understand others, and when you are able to do so, you have an open window into people's minds" My mom was solemnly telling me this she continued "Don't look into the past too much or over think everything, some things are right on the surface, but it can easily overlooked"
They started to fade away into whiteness
"Don't leave me alone!" I was screaming
"We are not leaving you alone; you have Aaron, and don't take him for granted"
I woke up, Aaron was shaking me
"Huh, uh what?" He was showing his concerned bold eyes
"you were screaming in your sleep" He looked drowsy "What were you dreaming about?"
"my parents" I whispered
We left it at that because I didn't want to explain.
