It was a beautiful day in the Land of Ooo, the sun was radiating over a certain kingdom without a single cloud blocking its view of the colorful kingdom. Many of the citizens of this fine kingdom were in a rush to prep the lands for a royal ball taking place in the castle that night. One candy in particular though was more stressed than others, being in charger of the royal family, couldn't find the King and Queens daughter anywhere.

"E-excuse me have you seen the princess!?" the small peppermint man asked a banana guard walking about the hallways of sweet candy castle.

"Uh..no sir. I haven't seen her since breakfast this morning, shall I send men in search of her?" the guard asked worried.

"No no that's alright.. I'll try to find her myself, but if you DO see her please tell her to find me it's very important that I see her." with that Peppermint butler scurried off deeper in the halls to find the fair princess.


"Eureka! I think I've finally done it!" the young pink princess exclaimed proud of the liquid that she held in her hands and up to the light. "Err.. what exactly have you done princess?" a slow and sticky Cinnamon Bun asked confused as always.

"I've finally created a serum for my princess plant! If I am correct, which I'm 98% sure that I am, this serum should be able to ensure that my planet will never die!" the girl said walking over to her planet sitting at the window in her lab.

"Carefully...carefully..." she leaned over the planet to steadily pour the concoction into her delicate small plant. Just then the door to her private lab slammed open startling the princess. "PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM" shouted her loyal butler.

"H-huh wha!?" the princess spilled the entire vial of liquid onto her plant and just as she realized what she did, she turned to see her plant decaying and sizzling from the acidic liquid that spilled upon it.

"O-oh dear... I'm sorry Princess, I didn't mean to startle you i was jus-" started Peppermint but was soon cut off by Bubblegum raising her hand and sighing deeply. "Peppermint Butler...you know not to run into my lab so suddenly and quickly like that.. now, what is it?" she asked slightly annoyed at the fact that not only was she wrong with her experiment, but she had also ruined her plant that was the only one available to her at the moment.

"Your father and mother are waiting for you to start getting ready for the ball tonight! You have but only an hour to get ready!" the butler frantically said.

"WHAT!? CINNAMON BUN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS SO LATE IN THE DAY!?" shouted the princess putting the glass vial into it's rightful container and throwing her lab coat onto a hook. "Uh.. I thought you had already known of the time" he said running out the door behind her and the small candy man.

"Peppermint! PLEASE tell me you have my dress and shoes ready!" she said frantically running into her chambers and throwing her hair out of the ponytail she wore before in the lab. "Y-yes your majesty! All is ready and waiting for you on your bed! Now I have already prepared your bath for you now, hurry! We haven't much time before your mother comes in to do your hair!" Peppermint hurriedly explained. "Yes, yes I know! Now leave my chambers so that I may get ready!" Bubblegum said as she undressed and headed for the bath that awaited her.

"Yes m'lady." her butler said as he closed the door. 'Oh I do hope she is ready soon' the small man said to himself as he rushed down the corridors to find something to busy himself with.


"Bonnibel? Sweetheart? Are you decent so that I may come in?" the Candy Queen said softly as she knocked on her daughters door. "U-um..y-yes! Come in!" Bonnibel said loud enough for her mother to hear her as she struggled with her dress. "Oh Bonnibel.." her mother said with a smile as she saw her daughter trying her best to hurry and dress herself.

"H-hello mother" the princess said with a wide smile before her crown fell over her face blocking out her view of the woman standing before her. "Let me help you darling, it took me quite some time to learn how to put on that dress properly too." the Queen said with a soft laugh. Bonnibel blushed as she took off her crown and turned around so that her mother could help her finish getting ready.

Her mother was the first to break the silence as she tied the back of her daughters dress, "Are you excited?" she asked. "W-why yes! I'm quite excited to meet the other royalty that reside across the great lands of Ooo! I couldn't be happier!" the princess said very fast and almost hyper like. "Haha, well this just isn't a chance for you to meet Kings and Queens, this is also a chance for you to make new friends and maybe get out of your lab once in a while!" her mother joked as she guided the princess to the seat in front of her white vanity.

"Mother! Please! You know my science experiments mean the world to me!" Bonnibel protested as her thick pink hair was being brushed. "Yes, I know dear, but you're young! Enjoy your youth! Trust me when I was your age, I wasn't allowed to go out with as much freedom as your father and I give you. I was to be escorted at all times by banana guards and peppermint butler. I couldn't even go to the restroom by myself now that I think about it.." the Queen said as she stared at her daughter with a crooked eyebrow and smile.

"I know mother, but.. what if the other princesses and princes' find me to be...I don't know..weird?" the young girl said with worry in her tone and on her face.

"No one will think you are weird my young Bonnibel, you're a smart, sophisticated, talented young lady that anyone would be lucky to have as a friend." Her mother stated as she tied back her daughters hair into a half pony tail and gently placing her crown on top of her head.

"Mother, you're only saying that because I'm your daughter." "And I'm also saying that because it's true." the Queen finished with a kiss upon her daughters head. "Now come, we must head down to the ball room. Your guests are waiting."

And with that Bonnibel and her mother exited her chambers heading down the halls towards the party that awaited the young Bonnibel, for this wasn't just any party, this was a special day for the bubblegum princess, today was her 15th birthday.
