Okay, this is my first Adventure Time story. Normally I just write Zelda, so this will be a bit of a break for me. I'm going to try to include some of the randomness that they put in the show, but still keep it serious and sometimes funny. My other chapters will probably be longer than this one, but right now I'm just seeing what you guys think. Please comment.

"Ice King!"

Finn flipped in from an open window and tackled the Ice King to the ground, the golden sword in the boy's hand flashing in the icy light. The two crashed onto the wall, knocking several frozen vases off the shelves.

"Finn!" the king of ice exclaimed. Finn balanced on the man's robed chest, his blade at the Ice King's neck. "What a nice surprise! You never drop by to just hang out! Ever!" The king of ice hesitated. "Er- that is what you're here for, right?"

"No!" Finn exclaimed. "What do you think I'm here for?! You stole another Princess, didn't you?!"

The Ice King shook his head, shock appearing on his blue face. "No! Kidnap a Princess?! I would never do that!" Finn raised an eyebrow. "Well... okay I would," the Ice King admitted, "b-but I haven't stolen a princess since last Tuesday, when I kidnapped Hot Dog Princess!"

Finn frowned and pushed his sword closer to the older man's throat. "How do I know you're not lying?"

"Because I...um..." The Ice King paused. A glint of blue caught the corner of Finn's eye.

"Watch out, Finn!"

A yellow fist stretched in from over the boy's head and punched the crown from Ice King's snowy head. The jeweled crown clattered to the ground and Ice King's previously glowing fist suddenly froze in a chunk of solid ice. Jake stretched in beside Finn.

"You okay, buddy?" the pug asked.

Finn nodded. "Yeah. Thanks man."

"No probs."

The two turned back to the Ice King, who was clumsily fumbling at his frozen fist.

"G-gah! Backfired!" he stammered.

Finn frowned. "Now, Ice King, tell us where you hid Wildberry Princess!"

"But Finn! Jake! I swear I didn't take any Princess! You've got to believe me!"

"You haven't really given us any reason to, considering you just tried to freeze Finn's face off," Jake observed.

"Yeah!"

The King of Ice frantically shook his head, his snow-white hair falling over his eyes. "No! No! I swear I haven't stolen any princesses! Just look over at the cage I usually keep them in! No one's there!" Finn and Jake looked at the prison. The ice blue bars held no one captive.

"See! See! I told you! No Princess!"

Finn and Jake glanced at each other. Jake nodded and Finn stepped off the Ice King. The older man sat up, awkwardly dragging his ice-covered hand over the frozen floor.

"Alright, Ice King. You didn't capture anyone; I guess you're innocent," Finn admitted.

"That's what I've been saying all along!" the Ice King exclaimed.

"If you see any sign of Wildberry Princess, you'll tell us, won't you?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you," the Ice King sighed. "Unless I capture her myself first," he muttered off to the side.

"What'd you say?" Jake demanded.

"Oh, nothing, nothing. I'll tell you guys if I see anything."

"Okay. I guess we'll be out of here then," Finn announced. He jumped onto Jake's back and the two started headed toward the window.

"Hey, wait you guys! Aren't you going to help get me free first?" The Ice King held up his frozen fist. "I don't want to lug this thing around on my hand all day!" Finn paused, seeming to consider it. Then he shook his head.

"Naw, consider it payback for almost freezing my face off." The boy grinned and he and Jake stretched out the window, leaving the Ice King behind in his castle of ice. As Finn and Jake moved farther and farther away from the fortress, the Ice King's voice was still easily audible. His shouts bounced loudly throughout the icy, solemn mountains, sending echoes into the distance.

"Oh, come on you guys! Don't just leave me here! My legs are falling asleep! I hate that! I'm not tired, but my feet are! It doesn't make any sense! Ah, they're falling asleep! Oh-! Ah-! It hurts! It hurts! Are you still there?! Hey?! You guys?! Come on!"

"So the Ice King didn't capture Wildberry Princess. But if he didn't, then who did?" Finn pondered. "Where did Wildberry Princess go?" He and Jake walked across the lush, green pasture of the Grasslands. In the far distance, the Snowy Mountains of the Ice King peaked high in the sky, and only a few miles away the usual chatter of the residents of the Candy Castle was slightly audible.

"I dunno man," Jake said. He stretched over a particularly large rock. "Maybe she just went off on her own, found some handsome Wildberry Prince, fell in love at first sight, got married, and then rode off into the sunset."

Finn frowned. "Really?"

"Naw, I doubt it." Jake shrugged. "I'm only being optimistic. It's more likely that she just got lost or something. I'm sure she'll find her way back eventually."

"Oh." Finn stared at the ground, thinking. "So… that means that we're free this afternoon?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Jake examined his friend curiously. "What idea have you got cooking up there in that crazy head of yours, Finn?"

Two hours later, Finn and Jake were back in their tree-house home, sitting on the couch and energetically playing video games on Beemo.

"Duck man! Duck! Okay, now jump over the bridge!" Jake cried.

"I am, man!"

"I know, I know. We're almost there! Now all we have to do is beat up the guards and grab the key!"

Finn and Jake pounded on their controls furiously.

"We've got this, man!" Finn exclaimed.

"I know, I know! Just concentrate! Don't let anything distract you! We're almost there!"

'Ring, ring.'

The phone rang.

"Don't touch it, dude!" Jake told Finn. "Just a few more seconds and we've won!"

'Ring, ring.'

Finn glanced at the telephone. "You know, we should probably get that." He stood.

"No, man, sit down! We're almost done!" Jake stretched his tail out and yanked his friend back on the couch. "Pick up the controller, dude!

'Ring, ring.'

Finn pulled at Jake's tail. "No man, it could be important!"

"Just wait, dude!"

"No! Jake, quit it!"

'Ring, ring.'

The two friends strained against each other, and, with a sudden 'pop, broke apart. Finn dove for the phone.

"Finn, nooooooo!" Jake exclaimed.

'Ring, ri-.'

"Hello?" Finn answered.

"Finn? This is Princess Bubblegum."

"Ah, no, Finn!" Jake complained. "I died! Come on, dude! Now we have to do it all over again!"

"Shh," Finn shushed. "It's Princess Bubblegum."

"Finn, have you found Wildberry Princess?"

"Uh, no, but we stopped by the Ice King's castle and he didn't have her. Jake said that she probably ran off and got married or something."

"What?!"

"Um- er-uh, Jake said she probably ran off and got lost or something. I bet she'll find her way back in a little while."

"Well… Knowing Wildberry Princess, that is likely that she's lost." Princess Bubblegum sighed, sending static through the phone. "But that still doesn't give you an excuse to sit around and play video games all day. Go out and look for her."

"Okay, Princess."

"And while you're at it, keep an eye out for Hot Dog Princess too. She went missing this morning."

"We'll get right on it, PB." Finn hung up the phone and turned to Jake, who was sulking on the couch. "Princess Bubblegum said we had to go look for Wildberry Princess and Hot Dog Princess."

"Why? What happened to Hot Dog Princess?"

"I dunno. PB said that she disappeared this morning."

"Well… alright. Let's go." Jake hopped off the sofa. "But when we get back, I want to finish that level in the video game. And no distractions."

"Yeah, yeah man. I gotcha."
