Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.
Simon opened the diary and looked inside the pages were old and worn, but still readable. He flipped through a couple of pages before he found something that caught his eyes.

Dear Diary,

I have started my first course of college medical school. The colleague is a great place and I have met many interesting people. I met a young handsome man named Simon Petrikov at a local party. He was studying to be an antiquarian. After the party he took me to his apartment and showed me all the antiques he had collected over his studies. I looked closely at an Indian mask and got some dust in my nose. I sneezed and my glasses flew off my face! Talk about a little embarrassing! I reached down to get them and so did Simon. Are hands touched one another as we reached for the glasses. We both drew are hands back and blushed a little. I picked my glasses up and put them back on. We spent several hours just talking to one another and I don't know we...just formed some kind of romantic bond with one another. We decided to have a dinner date tomorrow. I left Simon's apartment and traveled to mine. It's kind of like my mother use to say "True love just happens." My heart beats with excitement and anticipation for my dinner date with Simon! Well until I write again.
Sincerely,
Betty

Simon whipped a small tear from his eye. He remembered that night. It was one of the happiest days of his life. He saw Betty at that party and it was love at first sight. Simon flipped through a couple more pages to the next entry. The page had a lipstick mark on it.

Dear Diary,

It has been several months since me and Simon started dating. We had just finished our college courses and Simon decided to take me out on to dinner at a fancy restaurant! After we had our dinner Simon got up and kneeled on one knee. He pulled out a small box with a ring in it!
"Will you be my wife?" He asked with a warm smile on his face.
I felt my heart burst with joy.
"Of course." I replied.
He put the ring on my finger and we shared a kiss.
"You are my precious princess." Said Simon.
I smiled at him and kissed him again. I had official become his fiancée. That's all I have for now.

Sincerely,
Betty

Simon smiled as he read that. Another tear came out of his eye. The proposal had been a big step for him and Betty. He turned a few more pages to the next entry. The page had some tear stains on it and some of the words were smudged.
Dear Diary,

Something terrible has happened to my Simon. It happened a little while ago. It had been a few days since we got engaged. Simon came home one day with a gold crown with red jewels in it. He told me he bought it from a dock worker in Northern Scandinavia. He put the crown on his head.
"How do I look my princess?" He asked in fake fancy voice.
I laughed. Then I noticed something strange. Simeon's eyes looked freaked out and he looked around the room nervously. He started screaming stuff about frost and snow and how he was destined to rule over all! Something was seriously wrong here! I reached for Simon trying to calm him down he slapped my hands away and then slapped me across the face! I fell to the ground hard I looked up at Simon. He had a mean angry look on his face. His eyes flashed red for a second.
"Be gone she demon! Get out of my sight! This is my crown only I can rule the land of frost and ice! Get out of my sight!" Shouted Simon.
I look at Simon with contempt. I had no clue what he was raving on about, but it sounded like he no longer cared for our relationship. I took the ring of my finger and put it on the kitchen table. I looked at Simon who had just taken the crown off. He looked freaked out and confused. I gave him another look of contempt. I grabbed my things and let the apartment. I temporary moved in with some friends. After I went to my new room I went into a deep cry. I had no idea what happened to Simon, but I prayed for him to return to normal, to the man I love. Until further notice.

Sincerely,
Betty

Simon felt tears trickle out of his eyes. For years he wondered what things he had said to Betty when he first put the crown on. Now he knew and he felt ashamed of himself. He remembered his brief first encounter with the spirt of Iceen. The villain had been weak back then, but he still managed to drive Simon crazy to enough draw Betty away from him. Simon whipped the tears from his eyes with a nearby box of tissues. He flipped through some more pages until he found the next entry.

Dear Diary,

Times are tough right now. War has broken out and ruined the world! I find myself with a couple of other survivors as we travel through the ruin of the world. I wonder where Simon is right now? Is he alive somewhere? Has he returned to the man I fell in love with? Only time will tell. Though I'm wishing to find him now. I miss him. Until we meet again.

Sincerely,
Betty.

Well that was news to Simon he was glad to read that Betty survived the war. He flipped through a few more pages and found the next entry. It had a few blood stains on it.

Dear Diary,

Things are not looking good right now. This could be my last entry. Several of my traveling buddies have become greatly ill. They have started coughing up blood! One by one they are dying. I believe it's the cause of the radiation from the bombs. I feel myself growing weaker by the minute. I just wish I could see Simon just one more time! I miss him and I want to tell how much I care for him and that I'm sorry that I left him with out saying a word or without trying to help him. I forgive him! I still love Simon! I hope he somehow finds this diary and reads what I wrote. I want him to feel at peace. Signing out forever.

Love,
Betty.

Simon felt hot tears leak down his check. The love of his life had died horribly from radiation! In her last words she forgave Simon. He felt guilty for not being there for her. He bowed his head.

"Oh Betty I'm so sorry for what I said and for not being there for you!" Cried Simon.

He stood up and took the diary. He traveled all the way back to Marceline's house crying all the way there.

To be continued.
