You're The Only Problem

Princess Bubblegum's P.O.V.

Once I stepped into the castle the banana guards walked up to me. "Princess! The King and Queen want to speak to you. They said it was uh..."

"Important!" Another chimed in a few seconds later and they both nodded. I thanked them for telling me before walking to the dining room, where I knew they'd be. And sure enough there they were, sitting at the end of the table. Their faces were stern and serious but I took a deep breath and held my head up high.

"The guards said you wish to speak with me." I said and my dad motioned with his hand for me to come over and sit. My mom's lips were pursed and her hands lied on top of each other in her lap. As I walked to the other side of the long, narrow table they both gave me looks of disapproval.

"Your school called." She said and paused before exhaling, "You failed a report and then got detention for hitting someone, is that correct?"

I looked down at my lap and nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

She sighed quietly, obviously annoyed. So my dad continued whatever she was going to say, "Soon it will be your turn to be queen and, of course, you will need a king to accompany you."

Those few words made my head snap up to look at them, a bit of anger already in my eyes.

"Your mother and I have thought over this and we believe it's for the best. We've already found the perfect man. Soon you will get to meet him and the two of you will fall in love and marry."

"And you will soon forget all about this... problem of yours, dear." Mom said, talking about Marceline, "This bad influence." She added.

Dad nodded in agreement and that's when the words fully processed in my mind and I snapped. "Don't tell me about falling in love when you two don't even love each other!" My voice echoed through the room and everyone in the castle could most likely hear me.

"And Marceline is not a problem. She's just made me realize I don't deserve to be bossed around by people who don't understand." And with that I stormed out, leaving them in utter shock.
