A/N: I decided to add this as an extra chapter. It was originally going to be a sequel oneshot. It takes place 2 month's after the last chapter.
Chapter 2 Simon's Sorrow.
The Ice King was tied up to a tall post Finn, Jake, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn, Princess Bubblegum, Flame Princess and the other princesses were facing him glaring. Ice King said "I,m sorry please forgive me." Finn said "No you are an evil person you don't deserve to live." Ice King cried and begged "Please don't...please." Finn stabbed Ice King with his sword then he slashed him across his chest. Jake enlarged his fists and punched Ice King in the face. Marceline was crying and yelled "I hate you you filthy pig." She smashed her guitar over his neck, Lady struck him with her horn, Flame Princess set him on fire and the other princesses beat him mercilessly then the cycle was repeated.
Next it showed a bloody and beaten Ice King. Finn lifted his sword and stabbed Ice King in the head. The Ice King's body sank with the post he was tied to. Then it shows Simon who watched the whole thing "That's what I deserve for everything that I did." A voice said "Heh heh you're kidding right a fool like you you deserved to have died as a child." Simon turned around and said "Father?"
He faced a man who had black hair and stubble on his chin. His father walked over to him "You deserve to die while wriggling around in the dirt you little nerd." Simon's father punched Simon in the face knocking him down then he kicked Simon and pointed a gun at his head "Die boy." A gunshot was heard as the screen turned white then black.
Simon then shot up out of bed screaming and sweating. Bonnibel said "Simon what is it." Then she noticed the look of terror on his face. She said "It was the nightmare again wasn't it." Simon nodded "I'm sorry for waking you I don't know why I keep having this nightmare." Bonnibel hugged Simon "We'll find out together." Simon said "Are you sure?" Bonnibel nodded "Yes with help from our friends." Simon said "You're right." They kissed each other and Simon said "Good night Bonnibel." She said "Good night Simon." They each went back to sleep.
Simon was in his room as a child when his father entered holding a cane he was smiling "It's time for your daily beating." He raised the cane and struck at Simon. Simon then opened his eye and saw that it was morning. He got up out of bed and looked out the window over the Candy Kingdom. Then later he and Bonnibel ate breakfast they hadsent a message to Finn and Jake however the message was intercepted along the way by Marceline. Then the three them went to the Candy Kingdom.
They arrived and saw Simon and Bonnibel at the door. Finn said "Hey why did you call us here anywhere." Simon said "It's me I have been having a horrible nightmare for a while now." Marceline said "Simon what do you mean a nightmare." Simon said "it's always the same one though I had another one that was more of a memory." Marceline said "What was it."
Simon said "It was one of the nights when I was a child when my father Brenkoff Petrikov would hit me with a cane which is actually not the worst thing that he hasever done to me." Marceline said "Simon you never told me that happened unless was that one of the first things that the crown made you forget." Simon said "No it didn't in fact I only forgot about my father when I forgot about you the only thing that made wearing the crown bearable was that I forgot all about my father as the Ice King." Marceline said "Man and I thought I had problems with my dad but I would never want to forget about him."
Simon said "My main nightmare though is me as the Ice King being tortured and killed by all of you and the princesse and I was watching it then I was killed by my father." Finn said "WHAT! why would dream of something like that?" Simon said "Because I did horrible things so many horrible things." Finn said "That wasn't you Simon stop blaming yourself you are a good person." Simon said "Thank you I needed to hear that." Bonnibel said "I think I saw a book that said how to defeat nightmares for good." Simon said "Where is then?" Bonnibel said "We'll have to go to the library to get it." On the way they met Flame Princess who came along with them.
They entered the library and LSP was hanging out with Turtle Princess and Skeleton Princess and Billy the Vulture was there as well. Then Simon who was in front of the others walked to the information desk. LSP blushed and said "Simon hows it going." Simon said "Not so good I'm afraid." He turned to Turtle Princess "I need a book on how to get rid of perpetual nightmares you know to defeat them for good." Turtle Princess said "Well Simon you see Skeleton Princess just checked it out." Skeleton Princess said "You know if you need it you can borrow it if you want and I can help you find it." LSP said "Hey let me help too." Turtle Princess said "I'm the librarian I want to help with this too." Billy the vulture followed them all as they went to an empty table. They read through it LSP said "So what nightmare did you have Simon." They told the others what the nightmare was.
LSP said "Well you can rest assured Simon that will never happen you and the Ice King are so different." Simon said "My mind knows that but somewhere deep down in my heart I just dont understand that fact and I feel plagued by my past in my dreams." Bonnibel said "Don't worry Simon we won't let you feel that pain anymore." They found the page it said that to defeat the nightmare permanently the person having the nightmare must enter their own fears. Simon said "Ok wait for me to come back." Finn said "No dude we're coming with you."
Simon said "You don't have to." Bonnibel said "We're in this together." Then they read how to do this Simon had to close his eyes and think of his worst fear. Then they all held hands and closed their eyes to be able to go together. Then they opened their eyes and saw that they were in a void of darkness. Then a labyrinth appeared around them. Voices came through the "We will give you the power over the ice and snow." Simon winced at these words. Then the others were pulled into the walls Simon yelled "No don't leave me I don't want to be alone." Little did he know was that while everyone heard the voices everyone was right next to him.
Finn tried to put his hand on Simon's shoulder but an invisible wall stopped him. Simon said "They're gone I'm alone." He then heard the voices saying "You're nothing you're pathetic you have no one." Simon said "No I am not alone." He then got up and said "NEVER AGAIN MY FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME!" He then said "And I will save them." Then Bonnibel hugged him and actually managed to touch him. then Simon noticed that everyone was with him Simon smiled then a voice said "Well done you've succeeded however you won't stop your fears." Then the labyrinth was closing in as they escaped when Jake slammed through several walls.
Then they saw someone they never thought they would ever see again..The Ice King. He creeped towards Simon "Join me we are one we are the same." He lunged at Simon and grabbed him by the throat "Look into your WIZARD EYES!" Simon pokes Ice King in his eyes then kicks him in the face then he says "Finn your sword." Finn says "You got it." He throws the sword at Simon who catches it and slices Ice King in half vertically making him vanish.
Then Simon handed Finn his sword "Thanks." Finn said "Of course." And they fist bumped each other. Then as they continued down they saw a man appearing and Simon froze in his tracks. It was his father, Brenkoff Petrikov who smiled at him. Marceline said "Simon is this freak your dad." Simon nodded. Marceline said "That's all I needed to hear." She flew at Brenkoff preparing to strike him with her guitar "This is for what you did to Simon you jerk."
However it went right through him as Brenkoff smiled and said "I'll kill you later." Everyone got in front of Simon. Brenkoff said "How amusing." Simon said "Get back I must be the one to kill him." Brenkoff laughed "Here fight some of your old friends first." The bullies from Simon's childhood appeared and charged at him then Simon defeated them all as Brenkoff lunged at Simon who grabbed the wrist that had the knife in it.
Brenkoff said "You'll kill me like your mother." Simon then remembered when Brenkoff told him that Simone only died giving birth because two weeks prior Brenkoff shoved her down the stairs. Simon said "You killed my mother." He stabs Brenkoff many times then Brenkoff dies and vanishes into dark clouds. Then they form a large shadow with sharp teeth and demon eyes.
It said "Hello everyone I am the embodiment of all of Simon's fears and now I will destroy you all." Finn said "No you'll be destroyed." He struck Fear with his sword to no effect. Jake punched it but nearly got sucked in, Lady was almost swallowed herself, Then Flame Princess threw fireballs at Fear but they had no effect. Skeleton Princess said "Take this you vaporous freak." She threw a bone boomerang at Fear who swallowed it then he attacked Turtle Princess, Billy the vulture and LSP knocking them down "Now Simon come to me." Marceline said "Over my dead body." She flew at Fear with her guitar but was knocked back.
Bonnibel took out a beaker with a rainbow fluid in it. Simon said "Bonnibel is that?" Bonnibel nodded and threw the beaker at Fear who screamed in pain. Then Fear disappeared. Finn said "Princess Bubblegum what was that?" Bonnibel said "Electrine Celsios Coloros." Finn said "What?" Bonnibel said "It repels evil spirits." Fear then said "But I'm no spirit." Finn said "But you screamed in pain and disappeared." Fear said "I was faking it just to see the looks of horror on your faces later."
Fear said "I will kill you all then it will be your turn Simon." Fear opened his mouth and began to swallow everyone into him. Simon got angry "NOOOO! I WON'T ALLOW THIS!" He shot an ice beam at Fear who said "WHAT?" He froze as he said "NOOO! YOU NEED THE CROWN FOR ICE POWERS THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!" He was completely frozen then shattered apart. Simon breathed heavily "Never ever try to hurt my friends." Then were all transported back to the library.
Bonnibel and Marceline hugged Simon. Finn said "Simon how did you do that?" Simon said "I don't know I just got mad." he said "I couldn't stand the thought of losing any of you I didn't want to be alone again." Marceline said "Simon you will never be alone anymore." Bonnibel said "That's right Simon you'll always have us because we all love you."
Simon teared up slightly and said "For so long I've been alone and now I can be truly happy because I have so many friends." Everyone nodded smiling. Simon looked at Bonnibel "Bonnibel I think I find a use for my ice powers." He held her hand and conjured a rose made of ice. Bonnibel smiled and said "Simon it's beautiful." Simon said "Then it's a perfect gift because you're beautiful too." They hug each other then kiss. And everyone joins in the hug.
That night Simon dreamed again but this one was different he was in a field with all of his friends. They were all there, even his mother Simone. Simon said "Mom?" she nodded and Simon hugged her. Simon smiled in his sleep from now on he won't be having nightmares of his past only dreams of his present and his future.
