It's Adventure Time!

It was another gorgeous day in the land of Ooo. For all the sunshine and wonder, trouble brewed in the air, though the land's greatest heroes were not yet aware of it. Finn and Jake were licking hard candy envelopes at the long table of Princess Bubblegum's caste. They had two piles - one with sealed envelopes, the other of unsealed envelopes.

"We're licking on these eeeenvelopes," Jake sung, in the tune to 'Working on the Railroad', "aaaall the sugar-sweet daaay."

"We're not allowed to eat the enveloooopes," Finn continued, "or PB will send us awaaay."

"Can't you hear my brain... snooooring?

Glob, I've never been so bored."

"Can't you see my face pooooouting?

Princess, there's dungeons to be explored."

And together they sung:

"PB, let us go,

PB, let us go,

PB, let us go eeeeeexplore.

PB, let us go,

PB, let us go,

PB, we want to play in gooooore."

The two of them chuckled, but when they settled after licking a few more envelopes, they slumped down in their chairs.

"This sucks, man," Jake said, after licking another envelope.

"I feel you, brudda," Finn said, "my tongue has shards of candy in it."

Jake inspected Finn's tongue, "Why are we doing this again?"

"Cause Princess asked... Plus, you know. It's been tense lately," Finn said, rubbing his cheek.

"Baby steps, bro," Jake said, putting a thumb up.

"Exactly," Finn agreed, winking.

Princess Bubblegum entered the room, holding a communications device. It had a little red light on it that was flashing.

"How are you guys going?" she asked them, approaching their workspace.

"To be honest, we're kind of over it," Jake said.

"That's alright," said the Princess, "I think you'll be leaving soon anyways."

"What make you say that?" asked Finn, offended.

PB presented the communications device to them, and pressed the blinking red button.

A hologram came up of someone with their long, black hair turned to them. The boys noticed an unimpressive tiara made out of tin foil on top of the mystery person. The figure let out a gasp, surprised, and faced their own camera. It was the Ice King. He was wearing a black wig and had makeup on. The scary thing was the make-up actually looked half decent.

Jake frowned, "What the..?"

"Oh help me brave heroes!" the Ice King pretended to plead with his most girlish voice, "that hunky Ice King has put me in his prison without my consent! Even though princesses, like me, usually like being wisped away by the Ice King, I'm just not ready to be married. I want to concentrate on loving myself first."

"Ice King, we know it's you," Finn grumbled.

"What!?" Ice King shouted in his normal voice, and then cleared his throat, and returned to his princess voice, "What... do you mean, handsome? Hehe. Please come and save me."

The Ice King hung up the phone on them, leaving Finn and Jake wide eyed, and Princess Bubblegum bittersweetly amused.

"Something tells me the Ice King wants you guys to come over," said PB, holding back her giggles.

"Ew, no way," Jake said.

"It's probs a trap," Finn agreed.

"Well, if you don't go to him, he'll probably do something weirder to get your attention," PB warned.

Finn and Jake let out a sigh together.

"Plus, I want you guys to delete my number from his phone," she added.

Soon enough, the brave adventurers walked through the door of the Ice King's home. They found themselves in the main living area where there was his icy recliner, the drum kit, and the repaired hidden entrance to the Ice King's ninja lair. There was a sign on the entrance, saying 'No Jerks Allowed'.

"Okay dude," whispered Jake, "be on your guard. Who knows what that toot is up to."

Finn nodded, and called out, "Ice King! We've come to save the princess!"

From out of nowhere, the still princess-disguised Ice King fell down from the roof, and almost landed on the boys if they hadn't jumped back in time. Finn looked to where the icicles formed on the ceiling, which was where the Ice King had been hanging in order to pounce of them.

All three of them stood up.

"What the stuff, man!" Finn shouted.

"Ah hahahaha!" the Ice King laughed as he threw off his wig and his tin-foil tiara. He wiped the well-done makeup away with his sleeve. "Fools! There is no princess for you to save," he said while bending his two fingers up and down to dismiss the word, "It was me all along!"

"Yeah, we know!" Jake threw up his hands.

In fury, Finn pounced on the Ice King, and the old man cried out as he was propelled to the ground.

"Ah!"

Finn stood on him, with one foot holding down his chest, "Why are you being weird, Ice King!?"

"Ow, ow, ow!" he whined, flailing his arms at Finn's leg, "get offa me!"

"Not until you tell me what you want from us," said Finn, putting more weight onto the wizard's chest.

The Ice King calmed himself, and said in a humbled manner,

"I need your help."
