I hope you all don't hate me for this, but this story is important to me. I hate that Ice King and PrincessMonsterWife were so happy and the writers just threw that away. I fix now :) please read, and review, and please no flames. Just... Love. Ps: this is kinda sorta song fic. Just this first chapter though. Oh! Aaaaaaannnnnd... I guess I should add a disclaimer. Sooooo here we go!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ADVENTURE TIME. Buuuut if I did it would be awesome. I own Ice Princess, not PrincessMonsterWife. But in this story she is the same person. So yeah. R&R, folks!
Chapter One: The Song of His Lonely Heart
"GUNTER, GET YOUR FEATHERY BLACK AND WHITE BIRDY BUTT OVER HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Yelled the Ice King as he dug around in his closet, searching for something suitable to wear. He was having a hard time finding what he wanted to wear, as usual.
After a few moments, Gunter waddled on in. He made his way over to the closet door and stood there, staring at his lord and master who was clad only in his undergarments. Not exactly an unusual sight for the loyal penguin, but still not a very pleasant one.
"Wenk! Wenk wenk?" He said. Of course, that's all Gunter, as a penguin, could say. "Wenk, wenk wenk wenk!"
What Gunter meant was: "Ice King, what the lump are you doing? You never wear anything different anyway. I don't see why you even bother looking through your closet like this. It's pointless!"
And, not that it really mattered at this point, the Ice King once again completely misunderstood his little penguin friend. That happened a lot... Oh, well.
"What's that, Gunter?" He asked, turning around to face his black and white counter part. "I look super hot in anything I wear? Aaawwww, well that's sweet and all that stuff, but you know I'm not really trying to impress YOU, now am I, Gunter?" He went back to his searching while Gunter shook his head.
"WENK!" He said, flapping his stubby little wings. "GLOB, NO! You're sick, Ice King."
It was kind of nice not having to worry about him understanding sometimes, actually... He could say what he meant and not have to worry about getting into trouble. However, as crazy as the Ice King was, the penguins regularly got into trouble for pointless things.
Well, that's just life.
Suddenly, the Ice King emerged from his closet, dreadfully and forebodingly silent as he stared at the old cloak he held in his hands.
"This," he whispered, his voice shaking, "Belonged to Princess-Monster-Wife..."
Gunter wenked in despair and waddled from the room as fast as he could. This wasn't going to be fun... Therefore the wise flightless bird made an abrupt exit.
Every time Ice King thought of Princess-Monster-Wife he got really depressed and lonely. Even more so than usual.
And it turns out that he had been thinking about his long-lost wife a lot lately.
He wandered over to the window, and looked out across his kingdom. He remembered flying over these white lands with his bride, singing to her... Showing her something special- his gift of love to her! He remembered building the lovely detailed ice sculpture with his own two hands...
"Oh, my Princess," he sighed, tears filling his eyes. "What happened to all the beauty? What happened to all the warm and nice happiness?" He clutched the cloak to his bare chest and hung his head. Suddenly he was reminded of a song...
Overcome by emotion, he dropped the cloak, and unbeknownst to him, it was carried away by the wind out into his kingdom, far, far away...
He ran to his bed, and fell to his knees. He searched for a moment before finding his CD collection. Then he began to frantically search for a particular CD.
"Where is it!? Where is it!?" He cried out, his emotion actually causing him physical pain as his makeshift candy heart wrenched in his chest. "This song... Ah! YES! I found you!" He jumped to his feet, victoriously holding the old CD above his head.
He ran over and plopped it into his huge fancy karaoke machine and grabbed a microphone. After a few moments the introduction began to play, soft and slow and sad... The steady beat pumped through the loud speakers. He swayed with the music, letting the emotion take over.
"This is for you, Princess-Monster-Wife," he breathed into the microphone. It was time for some serious emotional karaoke!
"My, darling, I hope you know that I miss you, and that no matter what happens, I will love you forever..." And then he started singing Forever, by a now non-existent band called the Rascal Flatts... Ice King loved their music.
"Ooo Ha-hey oh-oh-aah
I miss you so much
Your light, your smile, your way, and everything about us
Though you're gone, you're still here
In my heart, in my tears
Yeah you sure left your mark and we were just getting started..."
"It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... Together...
But it was long enough, yeah, it was long enough to last forever..."
"Sometimes I get so mad; I scream and swear at this
Cuz' this, isn't how we planned it
I sit here, in a cold room... Prayin'...
Waiting on you
To run back through that door, the way it was before you left..."
"It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... Together
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough to last forever..."
"I feel cheated, I feel cheated... Defeated- can't believe it!
Can't believe that you're gone, you're gone, you're gone...
Oh it was wrong- so wrong!
It wasn't long enough...
It wasn't long enough! It wasn't long enough...
Nooo it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Together...Together!"
"But it was long enough; yeah, it was long enough to last,
To last, to last forever...
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
No it wasn't long enough...
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Long enough...
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Whoa-oh-oh-oh... Oh-ooo-ooooohhh..."
When he was done with the song, he let the music keep playing... He looked over at the window, and with tears streaming down his face he spoke softly into the microphone.
"I love you so much, my darling... And I always will."
