Chapter 5: Late Night Duties

Bonnibel's P.O.V

Hearing repeated knocks come from my bedroom door I groan and lift myself from the bed pulling the sheets around me and dragging them with me to the door.

"Yes, peppermint?" I ask already knowing the only one to disturb me so late at night would be him.

He stood in front of me his pale skin contrasting to his striped black pajamas, his white and red-streaked hair ruffled over his face instead of his usual push-back style. "Princess Bubblegum I'm so sorry to disturb you so late at night, I just got words that our banana guards have been captured."

"Captured? Have you checked the cameras?!" I ask slightly in fear that they were captured by the ice king again. I had lost a few guards in death because of him and I couldn't afford to lose more sleep over more endless experimentations over bringing the guards back to life.

"Yes I did and even sent them soul capturing threats to get back to their jobs but they lost communication with us half an hour ago," Peppermint says.

"Where are they then?" I ask.

"Down by the cotton candy forest," Peppermint replies with a serious face.

Confused I cross my arms over my chest with the blanket and raise an eyebrow at him, "What are they doing there?"

"A large party was happening and it was starting to grow wild. When the banana guards got there they were successfully shutting it down before they got swept off their feet and crowd surfed out into the river." Peppermint butler finishes.

I close my eyes and pinch the top bridge of my nose letting a breath out. I start to shake my head and laugh at the imagery of the poor guards being swept with the current of the river. Opening my eyes I give peppermint butler a small smile before turning around into my room and turning the lights on.

"Get a horse ready for me peppermint butler, ill take it to the forest and get the party to settle down for tonight," I say before hearing him leave my doorway. Dropping my blanket in a heap on my bed I head over to my closet in just the band T-shirt I had worn to bed and pulled on some pink sweat pants and flats.

I walk over to my vanity picking up my crown and look at the wall clock reading it was almost three in the morning. I brush my fingers through my bed hair before I place my crown on my head and head for the stable in the backyard. I was really hoping that this wasn't another rock band party going on tonight because even though I could easily dismiss any party on my land, rock band parties tended to involve some actual rock hybrids who were thick in the head with authority.

Peppermint butler was already waiting for me at the stable, my royal pink horse's reign in his hands as he strokes the nose of the large beast. " Do you require some weapons, my lady?" He asks me as I get beside them.

Shacking my head I take a grip of her harness and pull myself over her body straddling her. "Violence won't be necessary peppermint. I shouldn't be gone too long, candy forest is about ten minutes away, but you can start preparing some dry uniforms for the banana guards they should start appearing soon back from the end of the river, " I say.

"Okay princess, be safe," he says before making his way back to the castle's door and I begin riding towards the forest.

Within a few minutes, I hear the music before I see the crowd and feel more at ease hearing the tunes from a marshmallow mix song I actually knew. A few feet away from everyone I stop my horse and dismantle trying to spot where I should try and damage control first.

The crowd by the DJ booth were jumping up and down repeatedly shouting with the music, a makeshift bar counter in the opposite direction had some people on top dancing drunkenly, and by the river, there were some water nymphs doing water bending into water creatures like seahorses and octopuses.
