"A portal?" Jake asks.
"Yes, it seems to be a world portal." Bubblegum replies.
"Go on..." I say, still confused.
"A world portal is a portal that sucks up every living being from a world and sends them to another."
"Mathmatical! So we all get to go on a vacation together?" I yell, excited.
"Finn, you still do not understand. The portal is one way. Wherever the other side is, that's the entrance. If one person comes, they bring everyone else with them. We are where they end up. The exit portals only appear after someone has entered the portal. So someone from the other world is on their way here right now, and they're bringing everyone they know with them." The princess says.
"So let me recap, they've got the entrance, and we got the exit? So no vacation?" I say, bummed out.
"Finn this is nothing to joke around about. This is a travesty. We don't know what kind of person... Or thing, is going to walk through that portal!" She yells.
"Oh man, I didn't realize. I didn't mean to make you angry bubblegum." I try to give her a smile, but she just stares blankly back at me. I clear my throat. "So where did this thing come from anyway?"
"It can only be created by someone... Someone who wants another world to collide with ours, they choose the world whom they want to enter, and they set up the portals. I don't know who would-"
I interrupt her, " bubblegum, I need to talk to you alone,"
"Finn now is not the time-"
I interrupt her once again. "I know who cast the portal." She stares at me, but this time I see emotion.
"Follow me, we must talk in private." She begins to walk away, and I follow her. As we climb up the staircase, I teach for her hand. I feel her jerk a little, but I don't let go, we just keep ascending up the stairs with our hands laced together. Once we reach her room I release her hand and shut the doors behind us after entering. I turn to her and I didn't even realize she had grabbed my hand again. We both glared down at our hands, together.
"You know, Finn, I never once thought we would be here, right now, like this." She says softly.
I lean against the door. "I did, Well, I had always hoped that we would be..." She moves closer and kisses me, it only lasts for about thirty seconds after she releases, but it was still amazing. "Bubblegum.. I-" I start to say.
"You what? You don't think this is going to work out? You don't think I'm good enough for you?" She snaps.
"Woah woah, what the lumps? Heck no, Bubblegum, I think your totally radical... And I think your the one." I say, still confused at why she would think that.
"Like, THE one?" She exaggerates on the 'the' a little.
"Bubblegum. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Finally! I was starting to think you were so over me! Yes!"
"Ha ha" I hug her.
She lets go, " so anyways, about the portal,"
"Right, so I heard the ice king talking the other day sayin some weird stuff like he was going to find a way for him his queen to be together someday again."
"What queen?" She asks.
"Man, I don't know. But I can feel it in my stomach, you know, that feeling when you know that you're right?"
"Yes, I believe you. Let's go tell the others." We walk out of the room and down the stairs, to see a crowd of people around something in the center. Bubblegum and I push ourselves through. When we see what's in the middle, right below the portal, my heart sinks. It looks like the ice king. I see a lump of dark blue, and a lot of white hair, but this thing looks way skinnier and has ... A tiara instead of a crown... I turn whatever it is over with my foot. Everyone screams. It's a female version of the ice king. It's an Ice queen.
