It was late night in the land of Oooo, and not a thing was out of place, save for the feelings of but one young Princess.
The good Princess Bubblegum stood at her balcony doors and stared intently at the ground rather than out the glass panes.
The Candy kingdom had taken on a sort of chill that made the young Princess desire above all else the comforting warmth of her closest friend and confidant.
Lately though, the cold winter had taken on a sort of personality of its own. Bubblegum felt the warmth of her room and yet saw the harsh cold outside her balcony doors. The strange combination of sights and feelings made Bubblegum think of only one person; Warm and comforting yet appearing deathly pale and despairing, Marceline the vampire Queen.
Longing took hold in Bubblegum's heart.
The softly lit room felt lonely. Bubblegum had begun to associate warmth with Marceline's presence.
Something had to be done. The two had since patched their problems with one another earlier on but what good was that when they never truly got to see each other.
"Guards?!"Bubblegum shouted with frustration.
When one of the guards burst in the doors to the pink and fluffy bedroom, Princess Bubblegum spoke: "Relax, there is no problem, I do however need you to fetch Peppermint Butler please."
"Very well Princess, the guard replied with relief."
After a few minutes Peppermint Butler walked in with a stately bow and 2 simple words; "Your Highness?"
"I need to see Finn and Jake, I require their assistance. Go and summon them immediately, make haste please."
"Very well my Lady," Butler replied.
It would take the duration of the night for Finn and Jake to journey to the candy kingdom no doubt, but the sooner they were summoned the better.
Princess Bubblegum dismissed Peppermint Butler and closed the door behind him.
Her back to the door now, Bubblegum looked around the ornate room.
Bits and bobbles of science equipment littered her dresser-top. The walls were pale pink and the floor made of dark walnut hardwood with a peppermint swirled rug at the foot of a queen-sized bed.
As Bubblegum's eyes passed over the bed, she thought of how it would be cool to the touch without someone else in it. How she wished Marceline were readily available.
Walking now to the balcony and opening the doors this time, Bubblegum stepped out into the cold night air, savoring the thought of Marceline flying up to the balcony soon. As Bubblegum looked out over her dominion, she saw Peppermint Butler riding out of the stables at a fierce gallop, flanked by two armed guards as an escort.
