While Gumball is taking a stroll through his candy kingdom, he wanders toward the outer edge. Lost in his thoughts, he stumbles over a body. The Ice Queen's body, near death. Barely breathing, her skin a darker hue than normal, severely frost bitten and beaten, blood loss. Not having the heart to leave her there, he drags her to the kingdom and sets her up in the hospital for treatment. After a few weeks she finally wakes screaming, flailing, frantic. She begins hallucinating and tries attacking Doc. Prince until he finally is able to strap her down to the bed. Gumball bursts through the room afraid for his people and see's her eyes glowing, teeth bared and eyes filled with hatred staring at him. Her skin a bit less blue and see's the huge bruises all over her body. Many of the stitches ripped open and begin bleeding heavily. Screaming she begins thrashing trying to brake free with all her might. Finally Gumball sedates her. It takes twice the dose. Finally with a bit more struggling she falls unconscious again. The next day she wakes up, mind clear. She wakes up slowly and see's the doc next to her checking her heart monitor and see's it increase slightly.
"Hello, Ice Queen," He acknowledges her with bitterness.
"Ice..." She looks up at him with confused, glazed eyes still wanting to be pulled into the realm of sleep.
"Yes," He kneels down and flashes a light into her eyes, "You are the Ice Queen," He explains not being very gentle, making her hiss in pain with each small test.
"Wh...Where am I?" She asks once the sharp pains subsides.
"You are in the Candy Kingdom, You should be greatful, Prince Gumball couldn't find it in his heart to leave you to die. He dragged you here on his back and called me here to care for you. Even after all you have done to him, he still shows you kindness," He explains with a bitter tongue.
The door opens to her room, Gumball walks in, "Oh, good. You're awake," He addresses her with the same bitterness.
"Hello, your majesty," She addresses with as much kindness as she can. Trying to bow her head as he approaches respectfully until she feels the stitches pull at her skin. She hisses at the pain. Gumball looks at her out of the coner of his eye, holding his head high, trying to make her feel inferior. Tears perk her eyes as she tries to hold back the pain.
"This is pathetic, don't do it if it hurts," He spits at her.
"Yes, my prince," She sits back up slowly, trying to hide the tears in her eyes.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to her alone," He turns his back to her. She takes the chance to whip her face with the white blanket covering her body.
"If you are sure, I'll post guards out side the door," With that, the doctor nods his head to the prince and glares at her before turning and shutting the door behind him.
Gumball pulls up a chair and sits a safe distance from her, folding his hands in his lap and staring at her thoughtfully. After a bit of staring, she looks outside the window for the first time since she arrived.
"What happened to you? Have you finally realized how pathetic your existence is?" Gumball asks crudely. She turns her head quickly, eyes wide staring at him. The heart monitor spiking quickly, "I'll take that as a yes. Honestly I'm surprised you haven't tried to marry me," He chuckles to himself darkly.
She clenches her fists anger welling inside of her, "Marry you?" She says looking back down at her hands trying to remain calm not wanting to offend her savior, "Why would I try to marry you when I don't even know you?" She clentches her teeth in anger trying to regain composer that is slipping with each second, "What do you think I am? Some one who runs around picking up anything in pants?" She spits out not ready to look at her offender.
"What are you talking about? Your constently kidnaping me and forcing me to marry you," He laughs loudly at the dumbfounded look on her face, "How nieve do you think I am? Do you really think I'm going to fall for that pathetic getup? I knew who you were the moment I stumbled upon you outside the kingdom," He regains his composure quickly, "You really should show more respect to me seeing as how I saved your life," He begins glaring at her again.
"May I ask you a stupid question?" She asks him beginning to understand what is happening.
"I guess..."
"Who am I?" She asks looking him right in the eyes.
"You are the ice queen, the crazy woman who lives in an ice mountain. The one with the tiara that grants you the power over ice," Gumball looks at her with a bit of worry, noticing there is no tiara.
