"I don't understand it.. For a princess, she's the RUDEST person I've ever met, disrespectful ruffian… Gah… If I…"
It was a breezy afternoon, and the Earl of Lemongrab continued his long journey home from the Candy Kingdom. Still fuming over his unpleasant residency, Lemon Horse silently listened to his rant, patiently praying that the earl's mood would take a turn for the better soon.
Lemon Horse turned his head around and nuzzled the earl gently, as if to say, "Please cheer up, Master Lemongrab."
The earl's bitter expression softened, and he petted Lemon horse's nose.
"I love you, too," he said.
Meanwhile, the Ice King, having heard the news of Princess Bubblegum's re-ageification, flew overhead amongst a flock of birds, pleasantly singing to himself.
"Oh, Princess- you will be mine at last!" he chirped with a giggle.
So excited about seeing the eighteen year old princess again, the Ice King shook his beard and sent down a flurry of sparkling snow, and soared through the glittery white flakes, sighing happily.
The snow fluttered down and just barely coated Lemongrab's head. He shivered, letting out a yelp of surprise.
"Lemon Horse, are you cold?" he asked, rubbing his stubby little hands together.
His noble steed turned his head again, and licked the side of Lemongrab's face.
"No," silently said the horse. "I hope you aren't becoming ill, Master Lemongrab."
"You sweet creature," said the earl, as he gave his horse a little kiss on the head.
He looked up at the sky, narrowing his eyes.
"How strange," he said softly, still shivering slightly.
"… And then she just acted like it never happened," Finn sulked, resting his cheek on his fist dejectedly. He sighed. "I don't know… If I were her, I would have been nicer."
"Hey, man- she was probably just yankin' your ears," Jake assured his friend, as he playfully pulled on the bear ears on Finn's hat. "Girls do that. Don't worry- PB still likes you. Just wait a few years."
Finn smiled.
"Tell me more about that "Lemon Butt" guy," chuckled Jake.
"Oh- yeah, what a freak," laughed Finn. "They guy had to be, about, twenty- but his voice cracked even more than MINE. It was, like, MEGA-puberty."
Jake laughed. "I heard a couple candy folks laughing at him the other day," he said.
There was a frantic knocking on the door.
"Finn?" Princess Bubblegum said, sounding urgent. "Finn, Jake, are you home?"
"Hup!" Finn said, leaping from the couch. He ran to the door and answered to see the princess standing on his doorstep, her hands clasped together in worry.
"I need your help," she said to Finn. Jake meandered over, standing beside the boy.
"What's going on?" asked Finn.
Princess Bubblegum's lips wobbled slightly. 'It's Lemongrab," she said.
Jake rolled his eyes. "Oh, nooo," he sighed. Finn slapped his forehead with his hand.
"But you're eighteen!" he protested. "Why is he taking the throne again?!"
"No," said the princess sadly, shaking her head. "He's sick."
Finn's eyes widened in surprise. "Sick?" he said. "Well, so what? Is it… bad?"
"The Ice King must have been creating snow again," Princess Bubblegum explained. "There's no other explanation… Lemongrab has the freezer-burn flu."
"Oh," Finn said. "So… all we have to do is get the Ice King to scream, so we can cure him ."
"I'm not about to go LOOKING for the man who's been STALKING me for two years," the Princess explained. "But I need you to find him and capture his screams again." She sighed. "I have to go to Lemongrab."
"We can do that," Jake assured her. "You can count on us."
"Why would you go to Lemongrab?" asked Finn. "You're seriously going to VISIT that jerk?"
The princess sighed. "I have to," she admitted. "I have to make sure the sickness doesn't spread. Nobody in Lemongrab has any immunity to it… Besides…. as much as we dislike each other, I have to visit him. It's a "creator/creation "thing. You wouldn't understand."
Finn shrugged. "Fair enough," Finn responded. He smiled. "We'll do it, Princess."
Princess Bubblegum smiled gratefully. 'Thank you, Finn," she said. She patted Finn's shoulder and turned around, mounting Lady Rainicorn. "Meet me in the Lemon Palace. You can't miss it. And please hurry… I don't think I created him with much of a resistance to illness."
She flew off into the sky, and Jake looked at Finn, to see that his cheeks blushed after the Princess touched him.
"Finn- " Jake began with a smile.
"Let's go find the Ice King," Finn interrupted, hurrying to grab his sword. He stared at the blade thoughtfully. This wasn't a rescue mission in the traditional sense. He needed a plan.
"Jake," he said, running his finger over the blade pensively. "What is the Ice King afraid of?"
"…Lemon Horse came to me and dragged me to the earl's chamber", explained Banana Doctor, who led the Princess up the stairs. "When I came inside, I saw the earl… Almost all of his body was encrusted with ice! We thawed him out, but he's in terrible shape… I figured you would be the first person to consult. I've never seen this before, but I didn't come close enough to catch it…"
He opened the door, and Princess Bubblegum saw Lemon Horse seated at the bedside of his master, lovingly nuzzling his hand, which hung limply at his side. The appearance of Lemongrab was frightening- his skin had a prominent bluish shade to it, and he shivered, softly mumbling to himself in his delirium.
"Oh, Goodness!" Princess Bubblegum gasped, as she glimpsed her sickly creation. She knelt by his side and briefly examined him, before stroking the side of his frigid head.
"Don't worry, you big jerk," she said gently, in a soothing voice. "You're going to be okay."
"Princess.. Coff-KOF!" coughed the earl, wincing in discomfort.
"Shhh… just try to get some rest, my brazen buffoon- help is on the way," Princess Bubblegum hushed him.
"Mmmmluuggh…" he moaned. He seemed to be in pain, and Princess Bubblegum couldn't deny that she felt sorry for him.
"Jake, Finn… please hurry," whispered the princess under her breath.
Jake galloped on little feet to the Ice Palace, Finn riding on his back.
"So Jake," Finn said, "Remember the plan. I'm not going to hurt anyone.. just go along with it."
"Okay," Jake promised.
Inside, the Ice King was combing his hair and beard before the mirror, singing to himself.
"I feel pretty, oh so pretty…"
"Yeesh," Jake muttered under his breath, as he saw the Ice King batting his eyelashes at his own reflection.
He stood behind the wall, and stretched out his body into the shape of a penguin, and placed a ketchup packet under his flipper.
"Heh heh… this is brilliant," chuckled Jake to himself. His dog form sat behind the wall, as his penguin form waddled out, connected to Jake only by a thin, nearly invisible, strand of flesh.
"Quak, quak," "Gunter" said.
"Oh- hello, Gunter!" said The Ice King cheerfully, turning around. His beard was neatly combed into a part, and his hair looked shinier than usual. He beamed. "How do I look? I'm going to give Princess Bubblegum a bouquet of roses when I see her again."
"Quak," said the fake Gunter.
"Oh, man…" murmured Jake, rolling his eyes.
Finn stood close by Jake, holding his sword.
"Promise you won't stab me?" Jake asked.
Finn nodded.
Having vaccinated herself, and the other residents of the Candy Kingdom, against the Freezer-Burn Flu, Princess Bubblegum was safe. However, she took the liberty of vaccinating the palace staff and citizens of Lemongrab, who, fortunately, hadn't caught the illness.
No matter how many blankets Princess Bubblegum lay over her creation he still seemed freezing cold- always shivering and blue.
Her eyebrows furrowed together in dismay- as much as she disliked him, she regretted not being able to take better care of him. His illness was quite persistent.
"Princess… uuoohhh.. everything's.." coughed the earl, who stared up at the ceiling with exhausted, half-closed eyes.
"Shhh… Just drink this," the Princess insisted gently, holding a cup of warm vegetable broth to Lemongrab's lips.
He moaned softly, and Princess Bubblegum sighed.
Lemon Horse lay down on the floor, draping Lemongrab's arm over his back. After the earl finished the broth, Princess Bubblegum glanced at the large horse, and scratched his head.
"I don't know HOW such a jerk could have created such a nice pet," she mused with a tiny smile. She looked back at her creation- he looked miserable.
"Ready?" asked Finn.
"Yeah," Jake confirmed.
Finn suddenly leapt out from behind the wall and charged.
"HYYYAAAH!!!" he screeched, voice cracking, as he thrust his sword under fake Gunter's arm, bursting the ketchup packet.
The Ice King watched in horror as he saw Gunter fall to the floor, "dead" in a pile of her own "blood."
"G… Gunter?" said the Ice King in shock, kneeling down beside his fallen friend. He picked up "Gunter's" body and cradled it, weeping silently.
Behind the wall, Jake switched on his tape recorder.
"My best friend… *sniffle..* Gone…" whimpered the old man.
Finn's body tensed… When was the wizard going to scream?
Suddenly, The Ice King dropped "Gunter's corpse," and glared at Finn.
"You… you MONSTER!!!" he choked out tearfully. His pointed teeth gritted, his hands clenched into fists as he slowly rose up. "RRRRAAAAAUUURRRGGGHHH!!!!"
Abruptly, the Ice King charged after Finn, sending icy bolts toward him from his shaking hands.
"I got the scream!" Jake said back-stage, as he retreated fake Gunter's body back into his. He shoved the tape recorder into Finn's pack.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" The Ice King screamed, as he lunged towards the boy and his dog. Angry tears rolled down his face.
"It was a joke! April fools!" Finn insisted, forcing a smile.
He pointed to the ketchup packet, and the space where fake Gunter had been, but the king refused to turn around.
Ice monsters rose from the snow behind Finn and Jake, and the bereaved king refused to hear another word from the boy.
"RUN!!" Finn screamed at Jake. The Ice King was hot on their trail.
And the chase began.
"Cough-KOFF… Ah-TCHOO! KoUgH, Coff!"
To the Princess's horror, a fresh layer of ice was slowly starting to cover the earl's lemon-candy body, which was turning bluer by the minute. She tried to fend this off by keeping him warm, but it was hopeless… In the state he was in, it seemed he would literally freeze to death if a cure never arrived.
"Please… please don't die," begged Princess Bubblegum hopelessly, holding one of her creation's hands. Freezing cold- she tried to melt the ice away with warmth from her hands, but it always spread back.
For creating a cure, but no effective treatment, the Princess felt like a fool.
"I'm sorry," she said softly.
"Mmnnn… Princess.. *sniffle* d…" mumbled the delirious Lemongrab. "T- COUGH!- th…"
"Shhh.. save your energy- it's precious right now," insisted the princess, patting his forehead.
With a flourish of shattered glass, Jake leapt through the window with Finn on his back, falling, exhausted, to the floor.
"Got it… " Finn panted, tossing the tape recorder to Princess Bubblegum. "Ice King.. *wheeze* After… Hurry…"
The two were heavily bruised and scratched, much to the Princess's alarm. She looked back at Lemongrab, who was nearly dead, and back at her injured friends. The Ice King's ominous silhouette quickly rushed to the broken window, blue-hot with rage and wrath.
"I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID!!!" The Ice King screamed, sobbing with grief.
"He.. *pant* we faked Gunter's death.. *wheeze* to.. make him scream.." Jake wheezed, trying to get up. Finn struggled to his feet and held his sword up helplessly, shielding another ice bolt. In his rage, the Ice King's attacks were unpredictable.
Princess Bubblegum gasped, and quickly took the tape recorder up. She put the headphones and put them on the earl, and pressed "play." Despite the loud sounds of shattering glass and ice, she could hear the Ice King's scream through the headphones.
After a few seconds, the colour already started to return to his face. The Princess smiled in relief, and looked at the Ice King.
"Stop!' she begged, touching his arm.
Immediately, he desisted, and his shoulders went limp. His head sank, and he began to cry like a child. "Gunter…" he wailed, his shoulders shaking as he cried.
Finn limped up with his sword.
"LET ME AT HIM!!!" the king screamed again, fighting the princess to attack. In the distressed state he was in, he was considerably weakened, and couldn't push back the princess. He shot another ice bolt at Finn, who deflected it with his sword.
As the fight continued, the earl's eyes blinked open, and he struggled to sit up. He shivered and wrapped a blanket around his shoulders, and looked around to see heavily injured Finn and Jake, Princess Bubblegum yelling at the king, who was screaming and attacking the boy and the dog, and a broken window, a ravaged bookcase, and his room in complete disarray.
"This room is.. in.. UNACCEPTAB-COUGH! KOFF-cough! Kough, COFF!!"
He coughed into his sleeve terribly, and weakly forced himself to his feet. The earl grabbed his sword from his sheath nearby, and swiped it at the Ice King… whose crown went clattering away.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!!!" Lemongrab screamed hoarsely.
Everyone froze, to look at the sickly earl, who really shouldn't have been out of bed yet.
"CLEAN UP THIS MESS AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER, or DUNGEON!" he yelled, struggling to suppress another coughing fit. "SEVEN MONTHS DU.."
He started coughing again, and he collapsed to the floor from weakness, sword in hand.
"You butt," the Princess said disdainfully, helping her creation to his feet. She put the sword away and put him to bed. "Just rest for now… you've been very sick, Earl. Now.. is there anything you want me to get you?"
She smiled sweetly. The earl's face reddened- either from embarrassment or from anger.
"I want you to put my room EXACTLY the way it looked when you arrived!" he insisted bitterly. "Then I'd like you to LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
His eyes closed, and his head fell back limply onto the pillow.
"You're… *KOUGH!.. You're all unacceptable…" he squeaked out weakly.
It was a breezy afternoon, and the Earl of Lemongrab continued his long journey home from the Candy Kingdom. Still fuming over his unpleasant residency, Lemon Horse silently listened to his rant, patiently praying that the earl's mood would take a turn for the better soon.
Lemon Horse turned his head around and nuzzled the earl gently, as if to say, "Please cheer up, Master Lemongrab."

People bother me.
