Popie

Chapter 6: Popie's New Leaf

Today, Poppy was super stoked! She was going to meet the princess! The princess was also her age and she couldn't wait to meet her. As soon as Poppy entered the room, she knew she was in love. This love was real love. It wasn't her love for Ellnore, Martha, or even Shapoopie. Poppy was almost sure that the princess, Princess Kenbruly, was her soulmate.

"Your majesty may I say this, but you are beautiful!" Poppy smiled at her and gave her a red rose.

"Aw, thank you!" Princess Kenbruly blushed, "You are a gem too!"

"Y-you think so?" Poppy blushed back.

"Mhm! May I have your number? I'd be interested in courting,"

"Yes, your highness! It's 124-567-8910!"

"Oh, drop the title! It's just Kenbruly!" She winked, "I hope to see you later Poppy, will you attend the ball?"

"I don't believe I was invited..."

"Nonsense! You can be my date, darling!" Poppy almost died at this moment from being flustered by the princess.

Soon, it was ball time. Poppy put on a beautiful red dress and did her hair into a pretty bun. She then rode her shopping cart to the palace again.

"Poppy! Hi!!" Kenbruly greeted her. 

"Hello!" She smiled.

"Honestly, this party is boring. Want to come with me for a walk in the garden?" 

"Uhm, sure!" Poppy and Kenbruly walked out of the castle through the secret backdoor. The garden was full of the most exquisite flowers you would've ever seen. They were all different shades of purple, violet, red, scarlet, baby pink, fuchsia, and blood red. The two of them walked in silence until Kenbruly broke it.

"So, how are you today?" 

"I'm good, better that I'm here with you though." Poppy flirted.

"Haha, that makes me happy. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what is your sexuality?" Kenbruly blushed as she moved her hand up against Poppy's.

"No, no. I don't mind. I'm a lesbian, you?"

"A fellow lesbian! How cool!" Kenbruly held Poppy's hand as they continued their night stroll, further and further away from the castle. 

"Are you seeing anyone?" Poppy shyly asked.

"Haha, no, what about you?" Kenbruly smiled.

"Not since my wife Ellnore died... But that was before I had transitioned."

"Ah, I see. What was Ellnore like?"

"She was really hot. She had a killer personality; honestly, I didn't deserve her." 

"I'm sure she was! But, do you think I'm prettier?" Kenbruly flirted.

"Y-yeah, y-you're definitely quite stunning." Poppy blushed.

"Good. Then, would you mind if I kissed you?"

"H-huh?!" Poppy jumped in shock, "I-if you want to..." Kenbruly inched closer to Poppy as she said that.

"Your highness! We've been looking for you everywhere! You have to greet the Duke of Kornland!" A royal guard interrupted them.

"Oh, yes, I'll be right there! I'll be back for you Poppy!" Kenbruly waved as she ran to the castle. Poppy sat in the flower field and fidgeted with a blade of grass. She thought about her previous wives. Shapoopie had died, Martha divorced her, and Ellnore had died. Maybe she could pull Kenbruly, but the hope of that was small. 

Poppy sat there for an hour all alone. She doubted Kenbruly would come back for her. 

"Poppy!" Kenbruly ran out to her and hugged her tightly. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you!" She kissed her.

"Hi! What took you so long?" 

"I came out to the kingdom as my parents were trying to arrange a marriage between me and the Duke of Kornland. But, I told them I was a lesbian and I was in love with a certain girl. Now everyone is in shock." She explained. 

"Wow, that was pretty brave! Who was the certain girl you like?" 

"Ah, well her name is Poppy Pinly Diper!" Kenbruly kissed Poppy, "Listen, I know we just met a few days ago, but will you be my girlfriend?"

"O-of course!" The two of them held hands as they stayed in the garden. 

"Oh no! Look at the time!" Poppy quickly awoke to the clock striking midnight. 

"The ball ended 3 hours ago, but you were sleeping so peacefully darling. I didn't want to wake you." Kenbruly played with Poppy's stray hairs, "Do you have a ride home? You could stay here, or I could escort you." 

"I think I'll stay here if that would be ok?" 

"Of course! Come with me!" She grabbed her hand and ran with Poppy to the castle. They ran through the flowery fields and garden then snuck through the secret door. They tiptoed up the stairs to get to Kenbruly's part of the palace. 

"So, darling, this is my room," She showed Poppy her room. It was a beautiful yellow and pink room with daisy pillows. "You can either sleep in the bed with me, or I can have a maid make you a bed on the floor."

"I think I'll sleep in the bed with you," She smiled.

The two of them then cuddled and went to sleep.

A few months later, Kenbruly proposed to Poppy. The two of them were madly in love and couldn't wait to be wed. 

The wedding was fit for two princesses. It was a chic, white, and pink, flowery beachside wedding. Poppy and Kenbruly both wore matching dresses. They decided to walk down the aisle together.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage between Poppy and Princess Kenbruly." The officiant said. The two girls looked at one another and smiled.

"If anyone objects to this wedding, speak now or forever hold your pea-"

"I object!" A woman emerged from the crowd.
