Chapter 2 Dressed to Kill

A knock at the door awoke the princess from her nap. A nameless and faceless Candy Kingdom drone called to her from the other side of the door, "The party will start in only a few hours your Majesty. You should start getting ready."

"Yeah, yeah. I hear you. I will get ready." Staring at the shattered reminisce of her potion she laughed and kicked the pieces, "Why did I even make you? I don't need you to do what I want to do. I can do it on my own, and I will."

Walking to her wardrobe she pulled open its doors and spilled its contents onto the floor, "Dresses? Were my dress clothes always just dresses? Disgusting. How undignified of me, having very little in the way of selection for dress clothes."

Pulling open a few more drawers she located scissors and thread. After all, what kind of Princess would she be if she couldn't sew. Rummaging threw the pile she selected a few gowns to be used in her new party wear. Dragging her selections to her bed she started her masterpiece.

Turning around and looking down at herself one last time, Marceline decided she was done. She really didn't change much of the dress. She dyed it black, and tore off the sleeves, "Ha, this should be enough to turn her pretty Princess face red. This will be a party to remember." Floating to the door she looked back one more time at the dress in the mirror. This night better be eventful, she was in a dress, celebrations for the end of the world should have been prepped for this.

Marceline arrived at the castle and invited herself threw a window, no sense in wasting time with doors. The party was in full swing, and everyone was dancing and chatting. Floating further above the crowd she scanned the room, Princess Bubblegum was no where to be seen, 'She invited me, then doesn't show herself, did she do this to embarrass me?' Fuming she allowed her feet to touch the ground as she stomped to Finn,"Where is she? Where is your perfect Princess Bubblegum?"

Continuing to dance Finn blew raspberries at her,"Calm down, Marce, she is just running a bit late. They just announced she will be down soon. Relax a little. Dance."

Before she could insult Finn trumpets sounded and the lights dimmed as a spot light opened on Peppermint Butler, "Thank you all for coming here tonight. As you all well know, the Princess loves to hold these parties. This time, however, her Majesty has a surprise announcement she would like to give. Please welcome, once again, your princess. Princess Bubblegum!"

Peppermint Butler moved and the doors behind him opened.

Marceline gasped as the Princess entered,"Bonnibel?"

A hush fell over the room as she walked in. Shocked at first, it took the party attendants a moment to realize who they were looking at. Gone was her silly crown, her hair was now held back in a tight braid. Her love of frills and dresses was gone as well. The crowd gawked as she walked forward. She wore a pair of white slacks, that were seemingly loose, but hugged her ass perfectly. To match her pants, a white dress coat. She didn't completely ditch the pink, however. Normally, her modest way of dressing deceived her kingdom into thinking she still had the body of a child. The pink and white corset she wore under her jacket, quickly shattered that idea for everyone in the room. Before them stood not a young lady, but a full blown woman.

A smile spread across her face as she watched the confusion and uncomfortable shifting of her guests, "Thank you for that warm welcome my beautiful subjects. As my deliciously minty butler stated, I have an announcement to make. For far to long I have led this kingdom alone. I no longer want to rule alone. I wish to get married and become queen. However first, I must find an equal, a King or Queen, to rule my kingdom by my side."

"Oh my globs! Did you say King or QUEEN? Does that mean, oh my gosh, even a woman can rule with you?" Lumpy Space Princess jiggled in excitement as she waited for a response.

A smooth laughter filled the room as Princess Bubblegum laughed, "Yes, Princess, that is what that means. A man, or a woman. A king or ", she let her eyes lock with a stunned Vampire Queen's stare, "a Queen. I will address this again later, but know that I am watching you. Who knows, I may have already made my selection. Impress me, and you may change my mind though. Enjoy the party!"

The lights in the room brightened and the music started once more as Princess Bubblegum made her way threw the crowd. Before she could reach her destination though, she was cut off by Lumpy Space Princess, Slime Princess and Muscle Princess.

"So, I knoooow that you have already decided on me and stuffs, but you really should have warned me before announcing it like that. Oh my lumps, we are both woman you know? Scandalous. It's okay though, I like, totally forgive you and all. You're gunna have to do it right, ya know? Where's my ring? WHERE? Is it pretty? Let me see it!" Floating in front of the other Princesses, Lumpy Space Princess unloaded question after question.

Smiling and moving closer to LSP, Bubblegum replied coolly, "I don't know why you think I have chosen you my dear Princess, because as you can see there are two equally as beautiful princesses right behind you. Who is to say I haven't decided on one of them. You'll just have to wait. Ladies." She nodded her head at the other two princesses as she made her escape.

"Oh oh oh, I totally knew she wanted these lumps right here. Oh yeah. Did you hear her? Beautiful. That's right! Me! Beautiful." LSP danced in place.

"She said we were beautiful directly. Never said anything about you." Quipped Muscle Princess.

"Oh no you didn't just compare me..." LSP's voice was drowned out by the music as Bubblegum reached her target.

"Good evening, Marceline."
