Thanks again for continuing to read! Sorry for the slow update! My computer was out for a week or so. It's all good now though!

"Are you okay, PeeGee?"

The sound of Fionna's voice snapped him back into reality. He was standing in the hall outside his bedroom door and for some reason Fionna was beside him. "Wh-uh. Yes! Yes, I'm fine!" he stammered, trying to regain his composure.

"You're looking red as a tomato! Honey, you sure you aren't feeling ill?" Cake chimed in.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. What occasion brings the two of you here?" The prince squirmed slightly, trying to change the subject and get his mind off the firey kiss Marshall had surprised him with.

"Oh, We brought you that sciencey thing that you wanted!" Fionna smiled, pulling out a small vile of smoking black liquid and handed it to Gumball.

"Wonderful! Thank you ladies very much! Was it trouble?" he snatched it from her excitedly. He had been waiting for this.

"No way! Slaying that potato-dragon was easy peasy for Fi! You should have seen her!" Cake answered before Fionna could reply.

"Aw.. well, you know.." Fionna trailed off, blushing at the Prince.

"-Well, I'd really want to take a closer look at this. See you later! Thanks again!" Oblivious and rather distracted Gumball headed straight for his lab, leaving a disappointed looking Fionna to be consoled by Cake.

Prince Gumball didn't waste any time. He put on his reading glasses, pulled out his books and immediately began testing the precious contents of the vile. If he had guessed correctly, this rare liquid was an important component for the potion he was working on. How ever, he really hadn't made much progress to prove his theory. Still, he had a direction and that was better than nothing. 2 hours passed, unnoticed. Thing were finally starting to fit into place, but as to be expected, it was a very slow process. "There has to be more information in these texts!" Gumball frowned, as he flipped through the pages. "How to create a Vampire Aphrodisiac!" He felt his cheeks get hot at the notion. Curiosity got the best of him and he slipped a book mark in, to keep the page.

"Not that you need it!" a second voice replied.

"Marshall?" P.G. whipped around, expecting to see the vampire floating there as usual but there was no one.

"Well, I'll tell yeh...!" He heard a 3rd voice from the hall. Starchy and Cinnamon Bun were chattering loudly outside the door.

With his hand over his heart, Gumball sighed out of relief, and went back to his project. If Marshall really had shown up right now, he'd positively have had no idea what to say to him. The awkward kiss was still fresh in his mind.

Around 4pm he realized he was missing an essential ingredient, a flower from a cursed Gingove plant. The plants were extremely rare and could only be sustained in the most frigid of temperatures. Rather than spending the entire day searching the icy mountains, Gumball preferred to go straight to the one place he distinctly remembering seeing one of the precious plants; Ice Queen's castle. PG shuddered. He knew his castle servants would protest but he had a plan.

"Come on Lord Monochromacorn. We're going on a secret mission. We must not be seen leaving." Gumball clutched a small satchel to his chest nervously. He was going to propose a trade with the Ice Queen. If all went well, she'd accept and he'd be allowed to leave safely. She couldn't be all crazy..

The pair hadn't even landed on the snowy ground when Ice Queen spotted them. "What's this? A surprise delivery! I knew you wouldn't be able to keep away!" She exclaimed rushing towards them, her white hair blowing in the chilly wind.

Gumball cleared his throat, attempting to find his courage. "Ice Queen, I've come to ask you a favor."

"Yes, of course! Anything! Come inside!" She smiled sweetly but her teeth looked like daggers.

"R-right then. Lord Monochromacorn, wait for me here." Gumball hopped down and followed the Queen cautiously inside. 'So far so good' He thought.

"Well then,Gumball, What is it you desire? A kiss perhaps?" The Queen batted her eyes at him, leaning in sickeningly close to his face.

"-No!" Gumball jumped back in disgust and then realizing his offense, tried to redeem himself " -a trade! You have something I want and so I've brought you something in return.." he held out the satchel

"Yes, of course! You want a trade!" Ice Queen cackled, sarcastically. For a moment the prince had really believed she'd accept. "Take anything you want my dear. No matter- you won't be leaving..." Before Gumball could utter another word, Ice Queen had frozen him in a giant block of ice. Only his head was free.

"Did you really think you could just walk into my cave and leave with what you wanted, dear Gumball? This time I'll be getting what I want instead. I'll give you a hint. There's going to be a white wedding today" She cooed, petting his cheek with her icy hands. "Gunters! Help me get ready!"

Marshall was lazily floating through the sky, under his parasol. He was trying to kill some time until he could return to the castle. "Gumball's probably going crazy thinking about me!" he smirked, proud of himself. "That was one killer kiss. Next step is to make him totally mine!"

Suddenly something slammed into Marshall, hurling him backwards. "HEY! Whats your deal!-L.M.?"
Lord Monochromacorn was frantically heading in the direction of Fionna's house. Marshall couldn't understand morse code but he immediately knew PG was in danger. "Is it Ice Queen again?" As LM nodded, Marshall felt his heart sink into his stomach. Every second counted with Ice Queen. There was no time to waste. "She better not lay a hand on him!" he gritted his teeth.

LM, you go for Fionna! I'll head to the Ice Kingdom first!"
LM agreed and they both sped off frantically in opposite directions.

Chapter end
