Chapter 1 The princess of Light

Your name is Vriska Serket; you're 18 years of age going on 19 and are currently one of the hottest celebrities on the chart. Your ride to fame took off when you stared in a movie called 'Planet blue' and then published your own comic book called 'Light Seekers'. You didn't expect to get so much attention, mainly because you didn't think your writing skills were that good and the same went for your acting skills, but here you were sitting at desk signing autographs for your fellow convention junkies.

You gave a small smile at the next person who stepped in front of you, this was the ninetieth person, you were beginning to grow quite bored of this, and not to mention your hand was begging you to take a break, but you couldn't, at least not for another hour. "Hello, what's your name?" You spoke softly and tried your hardest not to sound annoyed. "Elliot" the tall looking geek boy replied with a large smile. You nodded and quickly signed your name on his book, before waving the next person on.

"We can take a break soon Ms. Serket" a lady in her late twenties leaned over and whispered in your ear. You nodded slowly and watched as the women pulled away and went back into her intimidating stance. You hadn't looked up since that last person walked away; you were too busy looking at your hand which was starting to turn a light shade of pink. You flexed your hand and cracked your fingers trying to get the numbness to subside, it didn't work as well as you had hoped, but it was better than nothing.

You slowly looked up feeling a pair of eyes on you, "Hello" a boy probably no older than eleven smiled cheerfully at you, his buck teeth showing and everything. "Oh uhm, hello" you answered dumbly, "How long were you standing there" you laughed softly. The kid's eyes seemed to sparkle, "Oh not long at all, is your hand alright?" he looked your hand over and then looked back up at you.

You nodded before giving a small smile, "Yea it's fine, Thanks for being so concerned" you laughed again which probably made the kid's day since he was practically glowing. "So what's your name?" you clicked your pen and slid his book closer to yours ready to write his name down. "John Egbert" the small brunette spoke confidently, you thought his name sounded kind of funny, but by the way the kid said his name it was obvious that he was quite proud of it.

"Well there you go Egbert" you smiled and handed him the book, you looked behind the boy and noticed some of the impatient fans, they were getting agitated and complaining about the long wait. You scoffed softly, they had nothing to complain about, all they had to do was stand there, you on the other hand had to sign book after book, and write your name over and over again. Earlier you had gotten so sick of writing your name you had thought about writing a fake one, just to make things more interesting.

You turned you attention back to the child who was still standing there with a large grin on his face. "Yes?" you raised an eyebrow, you crossed your arms and sighed, "you know I have a lot of people waiting on me kid" you tried not to sound too mean, but you couldn't help but feel fed up, you were tired and all you wanted to do was go home, take a hot shower, and then sleep for days on end. "Comic book one chapter four" the bucked tooth youngster smiled. "What about it?" you groaned softly and rubbed at your temples pushing your glasses up in the process.

"Well in it, the Princess of light gives the commander also known as the Prince of air a heartfelt kiss" the boy smiled. You leaned your chin on the palm of your hand and looked at the boy confused not really understanding where the boy was going with this. "Yes, but that was only because the commander was dying and the princess used her kiss of hope on him" you gave a small smile. "Right!" the child known as John Egbert chirped.

"Well…are you dying?" you expected the child to say no, then you could tell him to be on his way and finish signing the butt-loads of other books that awaited to be signed. "I have Mesothelioma…so yes" the boy spoke softly, but he still had the same smile on his face that was there even before you acknowledged him. Your heart just about sank; you didn't know what to say, what could you say? You simply shook your head in disbelief and stared at the frail child before you. "It's okay, you don't have to say anything…I shouldn't have said that, I didn't say it so that you would pity me" John laughed softly. You stared at the boy sympathetically before turning your attention to a woman in the distance that looked similar to john only sadder, the women waved to him before giving you a small smile.

"Oh, that's my mom…I should probably get going, I really do love your books, they've gotten me through a lot, you should write more" he smiled brightly before quickly turning and slowly walking over to his mother. "Wait!" you quickly jumped up and scurried over to the boy, "Don't you want your kiss?" you knelt down so that you were at the youngster's level. "Is this a trick question?" he tilted his head and smiled so that his buck teeth slipped over his bottom lip.

You shook your head and stared seriously at him, John stared at you for a moment realizing this was no joking matter. You gave a small smile as a sudden blush appeared on John's pale cheeks, "Well uhh, I would be honored; Gosh I can't believe this actually happening! Me John Egbert kissing the Princess of Light! I mean…this isn't a dream right? Please don't let it be a dream!" the kid practically squealed. "You're really excited about this huh?" you smirked; John quickly nodded before clearing his throat and calming down.

"Well yea, I mean…who wouldn't be?" he tilted his head. You shrugged a bit, "It's no big deal" you stated simply, the brunette opened his mouth probably to protest but before he could speak you quickly leaned forward and latched your lips onto his. It was kind of a weird kiss, it was by no means sexy, but it wasn't horrible. He didn't really kiss back, most likely because he didn't know how, but you didn't mind. You pulled back after some time and handed John Egbert his book with your signature in it.

The boy's eyes widened as he stared off into space with a funny looking grinning, he slowly pulled the book close to his chest and hugged it, still looking far off. "Well bye John Egbert" you smiled before standing up and heading back to your table. You watched the boy and his mother walk off, you couldn't help thinking how sweet that John Egbert kid was, you admired him. He was being placed in such a harsh predicament, but he still smiled like he would live forever or something. "Hey!" you snapped out of your thoughts and looked at the short and plump teenager in front of you. "Hey yourself" you snapped, "Do I get a kiss to?" the unattractive male wiggled his eye brows up and down. Your hands tightened into small fists, but you quickly relaxed and stood up.

"Oh you get something better than a kiss" you smiled and walked around the table as your batted your eyes flirtatiously. The teenager nearly drooled; this was probably the most action he had gotten in his life. "So what do I get?" he spoke heavily, probably trying to make his voice sound all seductive and what not, but it wasn't working. "Hmm, how about one of these?" you purred before kneeing the bastard in his crotch.

You watched as he heaved and leaned over clutching his stomach. "Pig!" you screeched before you were rushed out of the convention center your body guards surrounding you protectively with the paparazzi hot on your tracks.
