Walking through the market Fionna realized how shy Simone was with people she didn't know. She was trying but failing because of her clumsiness. Fionna wanted to help but it was so cute to watch.
"Fionna can you wait here for a min. I have to go and buy some more spell books." She said pointing to the book store across the street.
"Alright ill be over on that bench." I said going to sit down.
Thinking back I remember that day like it was yesterday. The day we found the taps and the journals. The day that would change everything...
"Fionna! Cake! Wake up and let me in!" Said Marshall as he banged on the door.
"What is it honey? It's so early in the morning." Cake said letting him in.
"I know that and I'm sorry but I just got back and it's what I saw that I'm here." He said floating up and down.
"Well what is it? Something for us to save, fight, or ect." I said sitting on the couch.
"Ok so I was flying a different way coming back from a gig. I was just starting to go through the ice queens territory when I saw this cave. It was so different from everything around it the snow was whiter, the ice clearer, and the air was fresher. So I started to explore it and I came across a giant door with words and a key hole. I tried to open it but each failed only made the words glow. I was hoping you guys wanna come and explore it with me maybe we can open it. What do you say?" He said asking and pleading.
"What do you say Fionna?" Cake asked. "I'm in."
"Sure I'm ready for anything." I said jumping up and getting ready.
Getting to the cave was a little harder than we thought because there was a blizzard. Mar finally found the cave though. It was just as he said it didn't belong here. Walking through the cave I remembered gumball saying ice queen made all the snow and ice in her kingdom but looking at ny surroundings you can tell she didn't make this. Not one snowflake was made by her or touched by her creations. It was all to pure. Being a floating vampire mar failed to mention the rough landscape. However we finally reached that massive door. The words were craved into the ice and with a little inspection you could tell the key hole was poor done on the inside. It was more for an illusion than anything else. The engraving was:
Shatter the ice and what once was can be again, Melt the ice and reveal ones true self, however Crack the ice and what is will WILL NEVER END...
"Glob it what does that even mean!?" I said yelling.
"Who cares lets just break it down." Marshall said.
"No, you said before you were trying that and you didn't even scratch it. We have to think this through." Cake said going into a thinking pose.
"Fine Ima go look around." Mar said floating off to the right.
I was hard at work thinking this through. What was it talking about? It can't obviously be real ice. It had to be a person and it probably had to be the ice queen. This is her land but she's to crazy to even know what we would be talking about.
"Hey guys I found something." Mar said. "I think its a key."
"Well pull it out." Cake said.
"Alright. alright." He said taking it. "There's a not to. Its says: gotta hide it then gotta find it or I wont be free its coming again I don't think I can come back out... " he stop there just looking.
"Mar?" I said.
"It's about her isn't it?" He said still looking at the paper.
"Yes...maybe she found a way and its behind the door." I said trying to sound hopeful.
"Well it wouldn't matter now would it? Since we can't open the door." He said starting to fly off.
"Wait! I think I know how to open it." I said. "She obviously made the door when she was still sane a little so maybe it'll only open for her in that way. Marshall touch the door and remember her when she was still very much sane."
He looked at me and then did it at first nothing happened then the words started to glow and the door started to shake. Then something else happened the words showed us a picture of a woman.
"It can't reach me when I'm here...for right now. I have to go and find help. I can't do this alone or ill never get better for him. Marshall I love you and I'm sorry for leaving but I had no other choice. I'm close so close to the break through. Oh no its coming its coming!" The woman screamed she closed the door and bagged away from it.
Then the imaged went away. The door started to crack then it shattered and then melted. Shocked at what we just seen we all stood there motionless.
He finally spoke "Lets go cake; fifi."
We walked through the tunnel and entered into this place with snow falling and only a little worn down cottage. It was so beautiful it was nothing like our world.
"I remember now this air and everything else even the cave all lasted from before the war that ruined everything." He said picking up some snow. "This is actually snow it's not created but recycled."
We all went into cottage amazed it had lasted this long untouched by dust. I wondered how long she stayed there trying to figure something out leaving when "it" came back. It looked like she had never left. She had everything neatly stacked up tapes and journals on either side all labeled different things. There on the desk was a journal opened.
Last entry :
I think this will be my last time here. I feel my sanity slipping even now. Locking it away didn't help at all and I've only gotten so far kn my research. I locked it all up in my chest. For anyone who can help me please. I'm going to leave this place because if I stay here "it" will destroy it. I want everything to go back to the way it was before I wish I never found this crown. I have to go now it's here. I said I would give in I just needed to finish this and "it" promised not to come near this place ever again.
We gathered everything and took it back to the candy kingdom fir gumball to help us. Simone had figured out a potion that would free her from the crown but it was missing one thing. She never wrote it down as if she was trying to find another way.
Gumball went through all the tapes and read every journal. At first it looked like there was no answer then he stumbled across something and called me in.
"I found out what it is." He said looking down.
"What is it?! Do you need me to go get it?" I said excited.
"The last thing needed is the blood of a true vampire." He said looking up.
I sat down I knew what that meant and what it might cost. Marshall gave up blood a long time ago when he was a child giving it to him now might have side effects. He could actually become a blood thirsty monster or it could be like poison to him now. We sat there quietly for a while both in our thoughts.
"I'm gonna find another way. I love him I can't do this to him even if he agrees." Gumball said looking down his hands were shaking.
Days turned into weeks and weeks turns into months. Gumball still couldn't find anything.
"Gummy please stop looking." Marshall begged one night.
"I can't." Gumball said returning to his work.
"I don't want to see you keep going through this I love you please its killing me. I know what the missing thing is I heard you and Fionna talking that day ill do it ok." He said about to cry.
"No you will not!" Gumball screamed. "I will not lose you! I can't."
"And you want." He said kissing his nose. "Ill always come back to you."
We started right away strapping him into a chair. Gumball got some of my blood and put it in a cup. Everyone was a little worried but it was our only choice.
"Ok I'm here if you need me." Gumball said full with worry.
"Its gonna be ok baby I promise." Mar said smiling.
He drunk my blood and at first nothing happened. Then he started to change his skin got darker, his eyes became bloodshot red, all his teeth point out more, and he become a lot stronger. The needle didn't go penetrate his skin so we had to stab his leg and let the blood drain into a cup. Marshall grabbed gumball by his throat and started choking him. We were finna jump him til gumball said don't just get the blood.
"Marshall...I know...your in there...please...come back...to me you promised..." gumball said gasping for air.
Marshall calmed down and started becoming normal again. "Gummy I'm sorry please save her." He said before passing out.
"Get him to the ICU let him rest and montor him." Gumball yelled.
"Fionna mix the potion for me." He said turning to me.
Now all we needed to do was wait til tomorrow. The ice queen would come back again for another failed attempt at taking gumball.
I wanted strapped to the ceiling til she came in then I kicked the crown off of her. She fell to the ground and we quickly tied her up. Gumball walked over and poured the potion on the crown. The ice queen screaming for us not to was ringing throughout the room. She collapsed on the floor falling into a coma for three weeks. Marshall had recovered and went to see her. Later that day she woke up...
"Hey Fionna I'm sorry love. They had a sell so I jus had to get a ton of them." Simone said smiling with her pile high of books.
"Its alright lets find something for you to put that in." I said getting up. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Its fine there's a guy that's gonna come and take this and everything else we buy back to my house it'll be there when we get back." She said putting them down. "Now let's keep shopping." She said holding my hand.
I'm so happy we found a way. I never want things to change.
