PROLONGUE
Present day. . .
“Marceline!” Multiple times that name was screamed and shouted along with a bundle of questions. Lights flash, and you can hear the clicks of the cameras.
“Marceline! Are you currently seeing someone?”
“How does it feel now that it's been 3 years of pursuing your musical dreams?”
“Marceline will you ever come back to doing acting soon enough?”
“Will you be singing at the next award show tonight?”
The long black-haired girl walked through the crowd, able to endure the paparazzi. The red car door opened as the guards assisted her through it. Before she could enter and take a seat, behind those various “idiotic” questions, one caught her ear.
“Is there any truth between you and Bonnibel Bubblegum?”
She cringed to hear those words. Those words? That name. That stupid- not stupid.. name. She would have ignored it if it weren't for a photographer’s response from the crowd.
“HA! There’s no way they’d both be together, Marceline is obnoxious as hell” The photographer spit it out load, clearly trying to add some dirt to Marceline. Marceline's crazy reputation is enough already. The audacity for this unknown nobody to spit words about her like its alright? Made her irritated and snap back.
“Will you give it a rest with that stupid fucking question? Me and bubblegum? Use your brains! Does it look like we’ll ever be together?” She would have said that, but there's no way she wouldld. She couldn't. She had to control herself from spitting that response out. The only words that could come out is
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” She yelled, staring at the photographer who called her obnoxious.
She shouldn’t have spouted that. By the means of her current situation, it isn't working well enough. She proceeded to enter the car “unbothered”. The car door slammed shut loudly.
The photographer was jaw dropped and embarrassed. Just imagine being cursed or cussed out by a famous celebrity with loads of people around you. This created a rift through out the people in the crowd. Others were defending her... and there were others who just basically didn't even care what had just happened with the photographer.
“There’s no way someone like that could date Bonnibel B.”
The paparazzi were astonished by her actions, clearly rumors about this famous artist are quite true. There’s no too much surprise to this, right? Sitting down at the car seat, she took a breath.
Great! What an incredible outburst Marceline. She shrugged, Marceline looked at the papers of a headline stating
Red Carpet Rage: Marceline Abadeer snaps back at rude photographer at VMAs (Video Music Awards)
“What a headline” She chuckled. Perchance maybe what had just happened earlier, it would also be added to her line of ‘controversies’. Whats there to bother though? She had the right to do so, she was human after all.
There was no way she’d let anyone step onto her so LOW. Looking up to see, she saw Simon, her manager, staring at her with a worried face.
“Marceline..” Before Simon could speak more, “I know I know. I’ll watch my tongue next time.” Marceline sighed. Simon gave her a weak smile in return
Simon, was her manager, someone who had been with Marceline since she was a little lad. Practically someone she would call her father. “These fans are just..” She grumbled, “Your sponsors won't be too happy about this, Marcy” Simon continued the conversation.
Trying to keep up some tips for Marceline. “Screw the sponsors” Marceline muttered, “Don’t talk about your dad like that Marcy!” Simon chuckled “Okay okay.. Whats up next?” Marceline asked as she slouched through the car chair
“Well, overall you finished up what you have finished today, so the main focus will be the tonight’s schedule.” Simon smiled looking at her using the rearview mirror. Hesitating to spit out what he had to say next, he focused on looking at the road. “Although, your father is looking for you.”
She scoffed a bit, Marceline couldn’t see why he was hesitating and shrugged it off. She saw a magazine next by the car seat and Simon caught her looking at it “OH! Aha-ha, s-sorry! I uhm was just checking out a salad recipe and -”
“Its okay Simon.” Marceline smiled, taking the magazine from the car seat, looking at it. “Are you excited for tonight? You’re nominated for 3 category!” Simon continued to keep up the conversation “Considering it, yes” Marceline looked up as she chuckled
She flipped through the magazine pages, to see headlines of her “These tabloids are hilarious to read sometimes. Well except for your girlfriend’s interviews. They’re usually good” She smirked as Simon laughed it out
She hummed as her eye caught an image. Pink long haired curled girl, purple crystallized eyes… Cute adorable cheeks with a shade of pink, pretty lips that looks so soft to touch. It had a gorgeous photo shot of her. It was an image of the pink-haired’s latest photoshoot, along with another photo of a brand new well known actress. The other girl had white hair, peachy skin and brown eyes.
New Actress On The Block Going To Outbeat Princess Pink!
The possibility of this new actress, Bernadette, could be Bonnibel’s downfall to her Princess B position?
She looked at some words.. And groaned. What a headline alright. Like that would be possible? She scoffed. “Hey Simon.. Maybe try not to leave these magazines around.” She grumbled as she placed the magazine back to it’s position.
“Right- Right of course Marcy, It wont happen again.” Simon gave a soft smile, Marceline faced to the car window to look outside. “Anyways, we should talk about tonight, yeah?” Simon tried to change the gloomy air “You’re nominated for the best new solo artist! That’s exciting, right? I think you should consider wearing-”
Simon’s voice were all a blur to Marceline.

The long haired blonde ran up to the pink haired, touching up the dress with it’s twin brother. “BONNIEBEL! TELL US WHAT YOU ARE WEARING!” Lucas yelled, “I’M WEARING MAJA!” The pink haired girl respond. She had a hot pink open up sleeveless dress with flowers overflowing its train skirt. She had loads of jewelry onto her.
“Remember… be careful with the train. We can’t have it twisting your ankle, you have an interview soon enough, as well to prepare for the new movie recording.” Lucas continued to puff up the flower train skirt. “Oh thanks Luc-”
“You’re already so busy as it is! Any injury could lead to making your schedule worst.” The twin brother of Lucas, Lott continued. Bonnibel had a soft smile on her face “I haven’t even checked my phone since then? Its been months!”
“Don’t worry we had that handled! You know we got your socials undercontrol” Lott replied, “Thanks.. I don’t think I can take another trend war with LSP..” She sighed, “Glob I can’t wait for this night to end though.”
“You’ll do well, and you have to do well. We don’t want to disappoint your Manager” Lucas added as Lott nodded in response. “And dont forget your fan” Lucas gave Bonnibel a pink fan that is covered with fluff of fur from above it’s toppings.

Flashing lights, everything was so blinding for today’s Celebrity Event.. “The Throwback”, where every single Celebrity that was from Ooo has a gathering. It’s quite an event as it also holds the awarding.
The car then stopped, as the car door opened, Bonnibel stepped out. The camera lights started going badonkers, and Bonnibel waved softly.
“Bonnibel I’m your biggest fan!!”
“BONNIBEL LOOK HERE!”
“Look here! Yes please look here!!”
“NO LOOK THIS WAY!!”
“Bonnibel could you sign my poster? I LOVE YOU!!”
“LOVE THE DRESS!”
Camera affects, snap, click, thats all you could hear.
Before she could walk to the building, she slipped, her golden heel stepped onto the large pink rose train skirt. “CAREFUL!” one of the people yelled out, “GAH!” She shrieked, closing her eyes and getting ready for the impact.
Suddenly she felt someone’s hands on her arms. “Careful now.” She looked up to see a black-haired girl with blue jeweled eyes. “MARCELINE!” the crowed yelled out.
“Marceline?” Her eyes widened. “Oh-” Marceline then helped her up, “Nice dress, Pink” Marceline winked as she chuckled “Same as you” Bonnibel gave a flat response. “Well focus now would you? I’m already here” Bonnibel coughed, making sure she said that while covering her lips using the fan she has. She also made sure Marceline heard that.
Marceline grabbed her waist which got Bonnibel to flinch a little to surprise, but played along with it. They both strut a pose as everyone from the crowd start screaming. Marceline then turned her head to Bonnibel, reaching for her ear “Okay.. so we made our appearance, took some photos, can we go inside now?” Bonnibel’s hands were on her shoulder. “You’re supposed to get two awards and make a speech. We havent even gone inside the venue yet.”
“So.. we can’t leave?” Marceline continued to pester her with it. “No! This dress is duct taped to my body. We’re not leaving till 20 minutes.” Bonnibel huffed and responded with a fake smile on her face.
“Marceline are you excited about the nominations tonight? Will we see you two at the after-party?” One of the people who wanted to interview them asked, Marceline still held onto Bonnibel’s waist, bringing them two near the lines.
She grabbed the microphone, “No no.. nominations and parties are cool alright but Bonnie here promised we could sneak away for a special treat later..” Marceline shrugged nonchalantly. Bonnie wished she could eye roll right now. “And I’m craving something sweet” Marceline turned to Bonnie. Making the crowd scream hearing those words
