A/N: Hey I just wanted to make it clear that this is NOT a Bubbline fan fiction. I only used the Bubblegum and Marceline tags because they are characters in the story. Im sorry for all the fans of the Bubblegum x Marceline pairings, this story actually focuses on my OCs. I hope that this doesn't stop you from reading the story. Enjoy :)

Chapter 1: Enter the Ice King…
It was late that night, but the scream for help pulled us out of our beds. Having made an oath to protect everyone in need, we quickly gathered our weapons - Lillyvien with her bow, me with my father's sword and Tempist with her... err… bare arms. Having collected our things we charged out of the Tree Fort and into the night, off in the direction of the scream.
Another cry of distress made it obvious where the screams were coming from; the Ice Kingdom. There was no doubt that the Ice King had once again kidnapped another princess. Tempist blazed ahead of us, scouting out the area and clearing our path. Soon, we reached the borders of the Ice Kingdom. I wasn't sure why but the last scream didn't sound familiar.
We made our way up the steps of the Ice King's castle, passing penguin guards and knocking snow summons on the way. Finally we made our way to the castle's prison room, where the captive princesses are normally kept, and sure enough a princess was inside.
She continued to scream until she saw us come in.
"My heroes!" she cried, "Come save me."
"Were on it princess. Melody unlock the cage, Sarah guard the room." I replied.
"Got it" Melody replied.
"Why do you get to give orders?" Sarah replied sarcastically.
Melody melted through the lock and had the door opened quickly. With the door open I was able to rush in and grab the princess.
"I get to give the orders because I rescue the princesses. Don't worry princess, your safe now." I replied.
As I picked up the princess, I could tell something was definitely wrong. For one the princess was way too heavy and secondly, no princesses of Ooo have big, white, bushy beards on their face. The moment I noticed that I was carrying the Ice King, I dropped him.
"Hehehehe. Thank you for rescuing me Jules." the King replied in his fake princess voice.
"Ha! You sure do save all of the princesses Jules. Hahaha," Sarah scoffed.
"Ice King! Why would you pretend to be a princess in trouble? Do you know how late it is?" I yelled
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist a cry for help. And now," the King paused stepping backwards, "I have you!"
With that, the Ice King leapt back and, using an Ice gust, forced all of us into an Ice bubble. We were trapped inside the enlarged hamster ball, pressed fairly close to one another.
"Oh Jules, your father would be so disappointed in you for falling into my trap. Tsk tsk tsk." The Ice King said reverting to his normal voice.
"Don't you talk about my father! My dad was the greatest hero in all of Ooo and Aaa, you old fart! He would never be disappointed in me." I shouted angrily at him.
"It's okay Jules," Melody said calmly "he's just trying to put you in a huff."
"Your right," I thanked her. "Ice King, you dumb butt, Melody is a fire elemental. Fire beats Ice, Ice head. Take care of this ball Melody."
"Okay." She nodded.
Before the Ice King could react, Melody had her hands on the ice. As quick as a flash, the ice was melting away. As soon as there was room, Sarah and I leapt out and readied our attack. Using her quick-shot, Sarah was able to knock the crown off of the Ice Kings head. With the King powerless, I jumped at him, punching him in the gut and then socking his face.
"You lose Ice King." I told him. I grabbed the back of his hair and started to drag him to the cell.
"I'm going to hide his crown so he can't get out for a while." Sarah shouted, grabbing his crown and rushing out the door.
We pushed the Ice King into the cell hard enough to keep him complaining, while Melody melted the ice door shut.
"We'll see you later, dork." I called, beginning to leave.
"Yes, you will. Melody Tempist, Sarah Lillyvien, Jules; I will get out of here and when I do I will be seeing you all again soon." The Ice King said menacingly.
"Whatever, you creeper," I shouted from out the door.
"Hey, I'm no creeper!" I could hear him shout from in his cell, returning to his normal whining voice.
The sun was coming up as we reached the Tree Fort. While I unlocked the door, I couldn't help but think about the Ice King's dark words. He's never said anything as threatening before. Finally, when everyone was inside and heading off to the respective rooms, I called out:
"What time is it?"
"Going back to bed Time," Melody called wearily.
The only response I got from Sarah was a shoe to my head. Ouch.
