bittersweet 16 (a unifrown au)

Prologue: Shadows of Betrayal

In the vibrant, candy-colored world of the Unikingdom, where laughter was the currency and joy was the law, there once reigned a benevolent queen named Unibella. She was adored by her subjects, a ruler who brought smiles to every corner of her realm. Her heart, as pure as the cotton-candy clouds that adorned her kingdom's sky, was an endless wellspring of love for her children, Princess Unikitty and Prince Puppycorn.

But beneath the sugary facade of happiness, a darkness festered. Rumors whispered through the colorful streets and alleys, a tale too ominous to ignore. It was said that a Doomlord, a shadowy figure from the bleak city of Frown Town, was responsible for the heinous murder of Queen Unibella.

The details were murky, obscured by time and fear, but one thing remained certain: the rift between the Unikingdom and Frown Town deepened. Suspicion and hostility prevailed, a festering wound in the heart of the kingdom.

Yet, amidst this looming darkness, a guardian watched over the royal siblings. Richard, the stoic butler who had dedicated his life to the royal family, carried a secret that weighed heavily upon his heart. He had loved Queen Unibella from afar, his station preventing their union, but the depths of his affection were hidden in the shadows.

Richard also held a history with Master Doom, one that cast a long shadow over his judgment. It was a history filled with secrets and bitter memories, a past that gave him reason to disapprove of the budding feelings between his surrogate daughter, Princess Unikitty, and the young Doomlord.

As time passed, the echoes of betrayal and longing intertwined, setting the stage for a love story that would transcend boundaries, heal wounds, and challenge the very fabric of their divided worlds.

This is the tale of Princess Unikitty and Master Frown, whose love would defy the odds, and whose journey would bridge the chasm between light and darkness in a kingdom unlike any other.

Years laters

Unikitty woke up to the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through her bedroom window. It was a beautiful morning in the Unikingdom, a land of laughter, rainbows, and boundless joy. But Unikitty, despite being the princess of this vibrant kingdom, had other things on her mind.

"Good morning, Princess," Richard, the stoic and melancholic butler, greeted her as he always did. "It's time to attend to your royal duties."

Unikitty let out a long sigh, her poofy pink hair bobbing up and down. "Oh, Richard, can't you see I have other important things to do today?" She attempted to sidestep her responsibilities with a playful grin.

But Richard, ever the responsible one, wasn't easily swayed. "Princess, the citizens are counting on you. You mustn't shirk your duties."

With a reluctant nod, Unikitty relented, knowing she couldn't escape her royal obligations for long. She made her way to the garden, where colorful flowers and sparkling fountains greeted her.

However, her peaceful respite didn't last long. In the distance, across the royal garden, she spotted the unmistakable figure of Master Frown. He was causing his usual brand of mischief, disrupting the serenity of the Unikingdom.

Unikitty clenched her fists, her frustration building. She couldn't understand why Master Frown and his Doomlords couldn't just be nice for once. The hostility between their worlds had gone on for generations, and it showed no sign of relenting.

Summoning her courage, she approached him. "Frown! Can't you see we're trying to have a nice day here? Why must you always spoil everything?"

Master Frown turned to face her, his expression a mix of annoyance and snark. "Oh, excuse me, Princess Sunshine and Rainbows, for not living up to your standards."
