A trail of smoke hissed out of her ears at an irregular speed. She ran, her bright red, skin-tight jeans and black, fringed shirt crying out. Her eyes grew flaming red, she was enraged. Her boots slapped the ground as she headed for the cliff, not looking back. She had to leave it all, she couldn't go back, gosh she was furious!
As the cliff approached, Pepper didn't even notice she had jumped off. She was too busy muttering under her breath about the stupidness of it all. Her legs and arms dangled in mid-air as she plummeted to the ground below. Opening her eyes and looking down, she only laughed. This would cool her down for sure. As she neared the ground, she went limp. Her shirt grazed a boulder and tore a bit, only adding to the torn up edges. The water's cool tendrils welcomed her into a cool embrace, extinguishing the flames. She felt...cool...peaceful...serenity...
No longer was steam coming out of her ears. The fire radiating from her palms retracted as the H2O hit her. Her eyes cooled down to their normal color. Her contacts had yet again been torn to shreds. Why didn't they make contacts fireproof? No matter, she just had to get new ones.
As she relaxed, bubbles drifted out of her mouth and she curled up in a ball and lay there on the river current, riding it along. She wouldn't even notice if she suddenly plummeted into a waterfall.

Meta was minding her out business, gathering wood for the camp fire. She was out on a camping trip with Fionna and Cake, they just found a good camping spot near a wonderful waterfall. Meta smiled at the sound of the waterfall. It seemed to calm her even though the water could make her rust if she wasn't careful.
"Ahh!" She gasped as a large wave of water splashed onto her. "What the?" She whipped around to she a red girl face down in the water. Her eyes went wide as she hurriedly created a metal boat. "Hey girl!" She yelled as she paddled over. "Are you okay?"

Pepper sighed at the sound of a female's voice. Twisting her body around so that she was drifting along the river with her face towards the sky, she looked around until she located where the voice originated from. Blinking, the water coating her face evaporated instantly. She had an abnormally high body temperature.
"Wha-? Oh yeah, me? I'm fine...well at least now I am. You should've seen me when I jumped off. I was more furious than a man finding out that his winning lottery ticket was a fake!" Pepper exclaimed, laughing. She was spread out like an eagle, drifting along.

"Oh, well if that's all I'm going to get out." Meta said relived. She didn't like playing hero. She could, but rather not. The adrenalin made her freak out. She paddled over to the shore, jumped out, and dismantled the boat with a flick of her wrist. Now all that was left was the smell of rusting iron and dust. She walked to the camp, only a few meters away, and grabbed a towel.
"So what's your name?" Meta asked as she carefully dried herself, making sure not to leave any where unattended. "Because I've never seen you, and I mostly know every one around the Candy Kingdom." Meta spent more time in Prince Gumball's castle than her own. Together they always worked on experiments and technological advances.
Besides, why should she stay in her kingdom when her grandfather could easily rule? He was still healthy and fit for his age. She wasn't often looked to for political guidance, yet Grandfather made her study all the laws and regulations.

"My name's Pepper." she said, not wanting to reveal her full name, for the fact that then they would know she was a princess. She didn't really care for being a princess. Growing up, it always meant she had to do everything politely and elegantly and stuff, which she hated. She rather learn cooler things that would actually help her, like how to survive in the wild and how to engineer new things to benefit society. She didn't care much for learning what side of the platter a fork goes on.
She padded over to the shore and staggered out of the water. As soon as she got out, a little steam showed the remains of the dripping water that evaporated. Her hair was already dry. She looked at their makeshift camp. It was nice. She had always wanted to go camping.

"You want to join us?" Meta asked seeing Pepper eye the camp site. "Fionna and Cake are out getting some food, they should be back soon." Meta walked to the camp, unfazed at Peppers fully dry hair and clothing. This was, Aaa, she was used to crazy things. "Pepper, that's an interesting name. I'm Metal Princess, but you can just call me Meta. I'm not crazy for formalities." She Walked over to the tent and shook her head, again it had fallen to the ground. She phased a iron sick the shape of the tent and propped it up from the inside. "There!" She said triumphantly. "The tent will now stand!"

"Actually, yes, I'd love to join you. I've always wanted to go camping." she replied, smiling. "Nice trick, by the way." she added, watching as Meta propped a iron stick to hold up the flimsy tent.

Selia dashed around the forest, her trusty baseball bat in hand, her short brown hair flying in the breeze. She had helped Marshall write a song a while ago, and she was raring to get out and do something fun. Or at least, not be cramped up in a cave all day. She thought about setting up camp somewhere- she didn't really have a set home. She preferred not to have one, that's just the way it'd always been.
She began looking around for a good place to set up base and begin scavenging for supplies when she heard voices. Her curious blue eyes scanned for the source, and she began walking towards the origin of the voices. She ended up in what looked like a freshly started campsite, and apart from Fionna and Cake, she didn't recognize anyone. "Oh. I'm intrudin' aren't I?" She said in a somewhat modest tone, hoping they'd allow her to stay with them.

"Thanks, it helps to be royalty." Meta grinned behind her sad eyes. The fact of the matter was long ago, too many people had the ability to bend metal. A group of Anarchists rose against the royal family and started to kill off all of the metal benders. The King ordered a full onslaught and destroyed the Anarchist group. But not soon enough, the only metal benders left were the royal family.
Meta formed a smooth chair to fit her slouch and plopped herself in it. "So what's your kingdom where you live like?" She asked curious to know of other places.

Meta turned to see a girl dressed in a blue tank. "Not really, the woods are no one's domain." She said from her chair. She sat back and looked up at the sky. "Now we have a party." She smirked, then stood abruptly, the chair dissolving behind her. "Well I guess the point of roughing it is to 'rough it'." She nodded her head at the new girl. "I am Metal Princess, but you can call me Meta."

"Well...it's nice. I live in Flavor Kingdom. If you an't tell by the name, we have a wide variety. A lot of the kingdom are markets, where people use their flavors to make creations. Lots of people come for the legendary flavors, including critics-" she started to say, however, a girl joined them in the clearing.

She nodded at the two, a small smile forming on her face as she realized she'd be allowed to join them. "Thanks. I'm Selia, Princess of Nothin'. I'm a human, which I guess is a pretty rare thing 'round here."

"Rare enough." Meta answered. She pondered on Selia's comment on 'princess of Nothin' was Nothin' a place? "Nice to meet you Selia." Meta sat on a tree truck and pulled out a bag of marshmallows from a bag close to her. "Anyone?" She asked holding out the bag.

"Yeah, I'd say it is rare. Fionna is the only human I've known until now...pleasure to meet you, Selia." she replied, smiling. She looked around and gathered some sticks together for a fire. Remembering a sad memory that made her feel angry towards her parents, a flame ignited on her fingertip and caught the sticks ablaze. The fire warmed her up, it was cozy...
"I'd like one, Meta!"

"Nice to meet you both," she said cheerily, sitting down by the fire and taking off her backpack, putting it next to her. She didn't keep much in there, just a change of clothes and care products like the generic toothbrush, hairbrush, things like that. She used her bat for defense from monsters, and she kept all her musical supplies at Marhsall's house, so there was no need to carry any more than that.
"Me too. Marshmallows sound great," she said, remembering how little she'd eaten that day.

Meta nodded and threw a marshmallow at Pepper and Seila. She crafted three thin sticks for the marshmallows and handed one to each of them. "If you want." She said while putting her marshmallow at the end of her stick.
She leaned up and got close to the fire. She loved the warmth of fire. Metal and fire, something that she thought was hand in hand.

Grabbing a marshmallow, she laughed at how she could scorch that marshmallow here and now. However, she didn't care for them while they were burnt. She liked the traditional way, and when they were golden. She took the thin stick and plopped her marshmallow on the end.
She watched as the flames on the fire danced about.

"So, any back stories we want to hear?" Meta asked the girls. She was bad at starting conversations.

"One time I caught a cookie on fire because I was really mad...it shriveled up and got all black." Pepper said, laughing at the memory.
(Haha, truth be told I accidentally did that once in the microwave, but it was an accident, not because I have powers to catch things on fire when I'm mad xD)
