~Five Years Later~

As time past, the once baby by the name of Finn had grown, reaching the age of six he still lived with the Ice King and by now was probably going to continue to do so for many years to come. Finn, now could walk and speak in full sentences, the Ice King could remember fondly when he first taught Finn how to walk and talk, it took a lot of effort but when he was able to do it the Ice King couldn't of felt more proud.

Finn, had taken to calling the Ice King 'Dad' or 'Dadda' the Ice King could remember when the boy first uttered those words. How strange it felt to be referred to as his father but he supposed that's how Finn viewed him, since he was the one who had raised him for the past heads after all.

As Finn grew, the Ice King discovered he was an adventurous boy even for someone so young. He would often wonder off and tended to question him about almost everything, he wouldn't of minded so much if he knew where the boy had wondered of to half of the time but most of the time he didn't and this was one of those times.

"Finn!"

Cupping his hands over his mouth, the Ice King called for the child, when hearing no response he let out a sigh. It often worried the Ice King when he didn't know where Finn had gotten to, it wasn't like, when he was a baby and he could just leave him somewhere and come back to find him in the same place.

"Finn, come here now!"

The Ice King called again, with no response he began walking along the hallways. "Where is that little tyke?" The Ice King questioned himself, scratching the top of his head in wonder. Just as he was about to move on, he could hear a faint sound, one that sounded like giggling.

The Ice King narrowed his eyes slightly, his head turning around, in search of the noise. It was at that moment, he caught sight of something blue, that seemed to be hiding behind the doorframe. It was at that moment, the Ice King knew exactly where Finn was. "I wonder where Finn is?" The Ice King mused out loud, making his way towards the doorway as he pretended to look around.

As the Ice King came closer to the doorway, the giggling got louder. Suddenly, the Ice King jumped through the door way, letting out a 'raw' in an attempt to surprise the six year old. Finn, as expected jumped out of his skin, as he didn't believe the Ice Ling would find him so quickly. "Aww, dad! That's no fair, how'd you find me" The young boy whined, hugging one of the Ice Kings penguins close to him.

The Ice King folded his arms, his expression turning into a frown. "Don't give me that mister, what have I told you about running off?" The Ice King scolded, Finn pouted a little. "I know, you said not to" he replied sulking a little. "But it was all Gunther's idea anyway!" The boy protested, as the penguin in his arms let out a 'Wenk' of what seemed like protest.

The Ice King had to hold back his laughter, as Finn had tried to shift the blame on the penguin. "C'mon now, don't try blaming Gunther" the Ice King replied, wagging his finger. Finn continued to pout a little, "Okay, sorry dad" he replied glumly. The Ice Kings expression softened he never liked telling Finn off but if he didn't he was sure the boy would run rings around him.

The Ice King smiled, ruffling the boys hair a little through his hat. Even as a child, Finn would wear the same hat he had since a baby, never leaving without it. Finn instantly brightened up at the affectionate gesture, "Apology accepted, Finn" the Ice King told him, fondly. "Now, come with me I got something to show you!" When the Ice King told him this Finns expression changed into one of wonder.

"Really? What is it?!"

Finn was standing by now, clapping his hands together as he jumped on his feet. "Ah, you'll have to wait and see!" The Ice King told him, earning an 'Aww' from Finn. Holding out his hand, which Finn gladly took, the Ice King lead Finn to another room, at first glance it seemed pretty empty, except for so,etching that resembled a cell at the back.

Finn raised his brow as he was taken to this room. "Uh, dad there's nothing here" Finn pointed out, "Oh but there is!" The Ice King chimed, moving towards the cell an object came to view. Lying in the middle of the ice cell, was something that resembled a small sword, made entirely out of ice.

When his eyes lay on the item, Finn looked positively ecstatic. "Is that..." Finn moved closer, his eyes widening. "Yup, you've been bugging me for a while to make you one of these things, so I've decided to do it" the Ice King told him. Finn picked up the tiny sword, no bigger then his arm.

"You really made this for me? It's so cool! I love it!"

Finn chimed, as he began swinging the item around eagerly. The Ice King couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and pride noticing how much he liked his gift, creating this small ice sword proved to be worth it to see Finn so happy. "I sure did, now you'll look after it won't you? Remember what happened to the last one I gave you?" The Ice Ling questioned.

Finn froze, a sheepish look crossing his features. The child was rather boisterous with the things he was given and they often ended up broken, "Yeah, I do but I promise it won't happen to this one!" Finn assured the Ice King a goofy grin plastered on his features.

"Alright, good!"

The Ice King replied, nodding his head in approval. He then proceeded to turn to leave the room, however, Finn spoke up before they left, "Hey, dad, why is there a cell in here anyways?" Finn asked, clutching his new ice sword to his chest.

The Ice King chuckled at the question. "Well, y'know when I said I was gonna 'find' you a new mommy?" The Ice King questioned, of course he was referring to a princess he would capture in the future, perhaps when Finn would be old enough to stay here by himself and he wouldn't have to bring him along.

The last time Ice King brought Finn along he was accused of kidnapping Finn of all people. Well, at the question, Finn nodded his head, "That's where she's gonna stay for a while " the Ice King told Finn, grinning a little. Finn simply shrugged his shoulders not fully understanding the situation.

"Hey, you hungry? Why don't we get something to eat?"

The Ice King asked Finn. "Sure thing, Dad!" Finn exclaimed, heading towards the door as the two left, Finn only had this to say.

"Whys my new mum gotta stay in a cell thing?"

Ice Kings simple reply was

"I'll tell you when you're older"
