The cover of this fan fiction is a screenshot from the episode Action Forest that I edited. Since it's my edit, PLEASE; do not use the cover of my fan fiction for one of yours, thank you. I'm always trying my best to be original on this website by making my own covers, and not heavily mimicking or copying another fan fiction. If there is a fan fiction of a similar topic to mine, I make sure to define mine from theirs with some sort of certain story element to avoid issues. Hopefully, everyone else will do the same.

**UPDATE! This story has now been fully uploaded and completed!** (I published chapters on a schedule of every few days to a week. Even though I pre-wrote the entire thing, I didn't upload it all at once because I wanted to have some sort of "suspense" or "building tension" between each part of the story. It simply felt weird putting up the entire project all at once.)

Hello everyone! I've been watching Unikitty! on Cartoon Network for several months now, and the show is really entertaining! Some episodes made me laugh like hell, such as Kitty Court, and Film Fest (Hawkodile's movie was the most humorous for some reason, I was freaking dying). So now that I've mentally placed this show on the list of cartoons I like to watch, I decided it was time for a fanfiction! A spark of inspiration hit me, so I began to write, and here we are.

Please enjoy the first chapter!:

Chapter 1

"Security Guard"

It was a wonderfully bright and sunny day in Unikingdom, just as it should've been. Everything was going along smoothly, and it seemed not a single problem could possibly arise on such a perfect day.

Unikitty was floating happily around her castle, carefree and joyful as always. She hummed a merry tune, simply enjoying the gift of life. Although she was in high spirits, things were dragging along fairly slow. There weren't any royal princess duties she needed to attend to for the moment, leaving her with nothing to occupy her time.

"Hmm, it sure is quiet around here," noted Unikitty aloud, landing on the floor as she glanced around the colorful room she found herself in. "There's no frowny faces or rainy clouds, everyone's great! Which is a good of course, but it's sure hard to help when there's no someone who needs help."

"Well, actually I could use some help cleaning this floor," said Richard in his monotone voice, with a seemingly glum expression. "There are brooms over there. If you could grab one and start cleaning, I'd be finished much sooner-"

Unikitty flew over to a circular window as Richard spoke to her. The window Unikitty peered through could be seen from outside on the castle's chest. She rubbed her chin with her paw as she observed her kingdom below, wondering; what fun thing could she do on such a beautiful day? Unikitty was so deep in thought, that she completely neglected Richard's boring, dull voice, which easily seeped into the background.

"What to do, what to do..." said Unikitty to herself, thinking long and hard until she excitedly exclaimed her decision, cutting off Richard. "I KNOW! I'll go see what Dr. Fox is up to!"

Unikitty flew quickly through the room, making her way to a couple colorful ball pits. There were exits of a few slides above them, however, their entrances were nowhere to be seen, suggesting that they were very long and built into more than one room.

"I bet Dr. Fox has some really cool science thing she's working on," suggested Unikitty to herself. "She's always doing something in her lab. Maybe that'll be fun! Or if not, maybe we could go swimming!"

Suddenly, an opening in the floor appeared underneath Unikitty, dropping her directly into a colorful, twisty slide. She happily tumbled through it, excitedly hollering before landing safely on a short conveyor belt. It brought her forward, and she was gently picked up with a small claw being operated by one of Dr. Fox's square-shaped robots. It plopped her onto a yellow cushion, which swung her forward in a circular motion, dropping her onto another cushion, bringing her to a purple elevator. It was filled with many more of the exact robots, all of them happily dancing around to music as the elevator plummeted downward. The elevator eventually crashed into the top of a water slide, short-circuiting all the robots and sending Unikitty flying out. She excitedly sped down the slippery slide, and quickly passed an illuminated sign with an arrow that read "Lab Entrance." The water slide headed right for a door, which automatically slid open as Unikitty went through it.

Finally, after the whole process, she tumbled out a hatch into Dr. Fox's laboratory. Unikitty fell safely onto a fluffy rug underneath a cushion, which was positioned in front of the control panel of a quite large, advanced computer.

The floors and walls of Dr. Fox's laboratory were shades of dark blue, making the whole room fairly dim. It was filled with shelves containing serums in bottles, large cylinder-shaped glass containers filled with anything from plants to unknown liquids, the blinking lights of many computers or such, and the occasional robot studying a piece of equipment to keep its performance in check.

Unikitty walked around a bit, glancing at all the fascinating things she passed by. But the place was almost dead silent; all she could hear was the occasional distant clanking of a machine, and the "beeps" and "blips" of various computers and other technologies.

"Dr. Fox? Dr. Fox~!" called out Unikitty, searching for her red-furred friend. "What's up, Doc? Where ya at?"

Suddenly, Unikitty was startled by the intimidating "hi-yah!" of Hawkodile. He practically threw himself in front of her from out of nowhere, threatening to kick her, his foot pointed at her face.

Hawkodile perked up straight when he reached the realization it was only Unikitty. He had mistaken her for a hostile intruder threatening to wreak havoc on the laboratory, and it instead was only his friendly, pastel-colored kitty friend.

"Whoops, my bad," apologized Hawkodile, embarrassed by his mistake. "I thought you were an intruder here to destroy Dr. Fox's stuff. So like, I almost kicked you in the face. Sorry."

"That's alright Hawkodile. What are you doing in Dr. Fox's lab?" asked Unikitty, surprised to see a tough brute like him in a place of science and engineering.

"Dr. Fox left to go explore Action Forest for her studies or something," shrugged Hawkodile, putting his foot back on the floor. "I'm honestly not sure what it was about. But she's relying on me to protect her laboratory while she's gone."

"Wow, that's really great you're helping her out!" praised Unikitty with a beaming smile.

"Yeah, I actually sorta begged to help," admitted Hawkodile with a nervous laugh, rubbing the backside of his head. "First I asked if I could go with her, to be like, her bodyguard or whatever. But she insisted on going alone, so instead let me be a security guard. It would've been just the two of us out there, alone in a forest... with no supervision..."

Hawkodile flushed in admiration, tapping his gloves together as he pictured the opportunity he could've had to perhaps confess his feelings for Dr. Fox. He didn't even notice the small sparkle matter cluster above his head; several deep red hearts.

His romantic passion for her had lasted for quite awhile, and no number of punches or kicks made it disappear. This was different since he usually effortlessly kept his emotions in check by releasing them onto training equipment, or enemies threatening Unikingdom. But when weeks turned into months and his affections for her still hadn't ceased, he began suspecting it was deeper than a silly crush.

"Um, Hawkodile? Are you alright?" asked Unikitty, observing the hearts hovering over him in perplexity. "You've got a little... something over your head?"

"GAH! Y-Yes, of course," responded Hawkodile, a bit startled. "Uh, y-yeah, so anyway, that's why I'm here. I'll just... uh..."

Hawkodile waved his arms around to shoo the hearts away. They collected on the floor in a small pile, in which Hawkodile then aggressively crushed them to mere shards with his foot.

Unikitty didn't say anything for a moment, simply staring at the pile of shards with mild concern.

"Well, er, I'm sure you're going to do a great job!" said Unikitty merrily, Hawkodile brushing himself off. "I can definitely tell you're strong enough to defend the lab because of whatever... that... was?"

"Thank you, Princess," replied Hawkodile solemnly with a small smile, standing proudly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I better patrol the surroundings and make sure no one's gotten inside. Security guard KICK!"

With a kick to the sky and a squawk, he leaped away elsewhere, leaving a small cluster of sparkle matter on the floor where he once stood.

Unikitty was once again left to herself, her boredom increasing with each waking moment. She sat there on the floor quietly for roughly a minute, peacefully observing some of the serums on the shelves. She also picked up some of Hawkodile's sparkle matter to inspect it out of curiosity.

"Well, I guess I'll just go see what Puppycorn is up to," shrugged Unikitty, beginning to float around the lab, seeking an exit. "Maybe he's stuck in another shoe or having a conversation with Rock Guy. Yeah, maybe that could be fun!"

Suddenly, she was stopped in her tracks when Richard fazed up from the floor and began speaking to her.

"Oh no you don't, you have work to do," said Richard. "There's a list of chores you need to get done, it's your responsibility as Unikingdom's princess, so I hope you'll-"

"Alright alright, I'll do them," assured Unikitty, rolling her eyes with a chuckle. "I'm actually pretty bored, so a chore doesn't sound so bad right now! What's first?"
