The news of Bubblegum and Braco's wedding spread through Ooo like wildfire. The Candy People were overjoyed to hear that that their princess was finally getting married and that they would soon have a king and queen ruling over them. A few weeks later the wedding was planed out and both the bachelor party and the bachelorette party fixing to be on their way.
Braco was at his house packing up a few boxes for the move to the castle, when he heard a knock at the door. The candy man stopped what he was doing to answer it. Braco opened the door and found himself facing Brad, who was standing near his car with Banana Guy, Finn, and Jake. Brad gave Finn a thumbs up.
"You ready to party man?" Asked Brad.
"I'm sure am." Said Braco as he and the others got into the car and they left the Candy Kingdom.
At the palace, Bubblegum was wearing pink jeans and a long sleeved shirt as she did one last look around at the decorated ballroom the wedding was going to be held. Everything looked good. Peppermint Butler walked up to Princess Bubblegum.
"Princess, you guest have began to arrive." Said the servant.
"Thank you Peppermint Butler." Said Bubblegum as she walked away to greet her guest.
As soon as Bubblegum was out of the ballroom, Peppermint Butler's eyes turned red and a sinister grin appeared on his face.
"I'll admit Bubblegum, you getting married was quit unexpected, but in a way, this will work in my master's favor. You will soon have a husband and child that you will add to the long list of things you care about and once you feel that your loved one are threatened, along with your kingdom, you will become even more paranoid and easy to manipulate." Whispered Crimson in his real voice, before he left the ballroom.
Miles away, Braco and his group arrived at the tree fort. There were several more people at the tree fort setting up tables, chairs, and party stuff. Braco saw, Rootbeer Guy, Colonel Candy Corn, Rattleballs, BMO, Neptr, Tobe, Django, Drake, Slippy, Jermaine, William, Lance, Henry, and Simon gathered at the tree fort. The group turned to Braco and warmly greet him. Braco smiled as he, Brad and the others went to join the party.
Back at the Candy Kingdom, Bubblegum walked into a large room with a bunch of tables and chairs, where she was met by several of her friends. There was Hotdog Princess, Lumpy Space Princess, Muscle Princess, Turtle Princess, Slime Princess, Phoebe, Marceline, Lucinda, Huntress Wizard, Doctor Princess, Momo, Gearga, Gridface Princess, Skeleton Princess, Wildberry Princess, Breakfast Princess, and Betty. The group cheered as they saw Bubblegum. The candy princess smiled as she went to join her friends.
At the tree fort, the bachelor party, was well on it's way. Django was proving some musical entertainment, while Colonel Candy Corn told some of his old war stories to Finn, Jake, and Jermaine. Everyone else was either talking or dancing. Braco was hanging with Simon and he decided to ask the old wizard about advice about being a king and a father. The candy man told Simon about the son Bubblegum had created.
"Well Braco being both a king and a parent are big responsibilities. Both require patience, self confidence, intelligence, compassion. When I was young I never dreamed about becoming a king, yet here I am. My kingdom was forged by nature and myself. It took me time to figure out what was best for my land, but I eventually figured it out. You not only have to figure out what's best for you kingdom, you have to also figure out what is best for all of Ooo. There is a balance that must be kept. It may seem hard at first, but I'm confident you'll find it." Said Simon.
"What about being a father? I mean I planned to have children at some point, but nothing like this." Said Braco.
"Being a parent is one of life's great adventures. It'll be tough and a little scary at first, but it is also very satisfying and wonderful. You'll be teaching your kid stuff, but you'll also learn stuff along the way. Me becoming the father figure to a vampire and a fire elemental was incredibly unexpected, but looking back on those days there wasn't a moment I didn't cherish. Both Marceline and Phoebe are apart of my family. Your a good person Braco and I believe you'll make a good father." Said Simon.
"Thank you Simon." Said Braco with a small smile.
The two of them went back to join the rest of the party.
At the Candy Kingdom, most of the women were doing karaoke, while at one table Muscle Princess was armwrestling Lucinda. The large muscle bound princess strained with all her might and she started to push Lucinda's arm down towards the table top. Lucinda grunted as her eyes became wolf like and she pushed Muscle Princess's arm back and smashed into the table cracking it in two. Marceline and Phoebe cheered for Lucinda as Muscle Princess rubbed her bruised arm and grinned good naturally at Lucinda.
"Girl you are strong! Respect!" Said Muscle Princess as she and Lucinda did a fist bump.
At one table, LSP had just finished a soda can and added the empty can to a large growing stack of empty cans. LSP was crying a little as she drank another soda.
"Man...I'm so happy for you Bubblegum! You found a guy who loves you and you totally love him back. Now you two are getting serious and getting married! I used to have a guy that I liked, but then I lumpen blew it! Now I'm lonely and I'm drowning out my sorrows in sugary drinks!" Sobbed LSP.
"You'll find yourself another boyfriend LSP." Said Skeleton Princess.
"I want Brad back!" Cried LSP.
"Maybe, you can try to work things out with Brad?" Suggested Phoebe.
LSP sobbed some more as she drank some more soda. Doctor Princess decided to give the unhappy princess some antidepressants to help cheer her up. The floating princess took the pills and started to cheer up a bit, but she also became a little loopy.
"You gals are my best friends! I love all of you so lumpen much! Especially you Ms. Flying Pig." Slurred LSP as she randomly pointed at some random empty space.
Bubblegum decided to take her party guest to her lab to show them Neddy. They all headed up to the lab and Bubblegum showed them the pod and everyone starred at the slumbering child in awe. Doctor Princess and Betty, were impressed by Bubblegum's latest accomplishment, though admittedly they were slightly disturbed by the idea of creating life. Marceline was a little concerned about Bubblegum creating another heir, considering how Lemongrab and Goliad turned out. There was a chance Neddy could turn out bad. The vampire turned to Bubblegum.
"Hey Bubblegum, you sure about creating another heir using your lab? I mean the last two you made didn't turn out so hot."
"I understand your concerns Marceline and I assure you that Neddy will turn out better then Lemongrab and Goliad. I plan to raise my kid up right this time and make sure he is taught right from wrong, plus I have Braco helping me." Said Bubblegum.
"Well I'm happy for you Bubblegum and I really do wish you and your soon to be family good luck." Said Marceline.
"Thanks." Said Bubblegum.
Both the bachelor party and the bachelorette party continued for a few more hours, before both parties decided to call it a night. A couple days later it was time for the big wedding. Every Candy Person in the Candy Kingdom was attending the event, including several people from the other kingdoms and villages. Finn and all the other heroes of Ooo were also attending the wedding. Banana Guards were on high alert for any suspicious activity along with the heroes. The wedding would be a prime target for any evil force to attack, so security was tight. King showed up at the wedding with Toronto, Slicer, and Jordan by his side. Colonel Candy Corn demanded what King was doing at the wedding.
"Why I'm here to represent Castle Lemongrab, you see Lemongrab and Cookie wanted to attend the wedding, but they got a little tied up with something, so they couldn't make it." Said King.
"Fine, you may attend the wedding, but if you try any funny business, you'll in for a whooping." Said Colonel Candy Corn.
"I give you my word, that'll you get no trouble from me or my men." Said King.
Colonel Candy Corn eyed King and his men before walking off. King and his followers took a seat with the rest of the crowd. Up in the castle both Bubblegum and Braco were getting ready. Bubblegum was wearing a white wedding dress and Marceline was with her serving her as a bridesmaid. In another room Braco was wearing a tux and his best man Banana Guy was with him. After both bride and groom were fully suited up the wedding was ready to begin. The wedding was held outside with a several rows of seats and a long red carpet leading to an alter. A organ was being played as Braco walked down the carpet to the alter. At the alter was a candy person named Cardinal Candy Apple, who was an apple covered in caramel wearing a white robe. After Braco arrived it was time for Bubblegum to head down to the alter. Bubblegum walked down the carpet and stood next to Braco and Cardinal Candy Apple began to speak.
"We are gathered here today to not only join two lovers, but also to give the Candy Kingdom a king and queen, who will justly rule our fair kingdom. This marriage represents the powerful bond of love that keeps us all together. With this ceremony we move forward into the future. Now we ask the important questions. Do you Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum take Brao to be your husband and your king?"
"I do." Said Bubblegum.
"And do you Braco, take Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum as your wife and queen?" Asked Cardinal Candy Apple.
"I do." Said Braco.
"Then by the powers invested in me I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Said Cardinal Candy Apple.
Braco lifted Bubblegum's veil and kissed her. Bubblegum returned the kiss and the crowd cheered for the married couple. Peppermint Butler walked in from the side carrying a pillow that had two gold rings, Bubblegum's tiara and a slightly larger gold crown with three points and a green gem stone in the center of it. Bubblegum and Braco look the rings and placed them on one another's fingers, they then kneeled down and let the crowns be placed on their heads. The king and queen stood up and everyone cheered. It was a happy occasion and everyone was happy. King smiled a little before he and his men left the crowd. Nobody noticed and nobody really cared. All that matter was the happy marriage. The future was looking bright and soon enough there would be a new member added to the new royal family.
To be continued.
