Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.

When Simon came in through the house doors Marceline knew something was wrong. Simeon's eyes were all red like he'd been crying.

"What's wrong?" Marceline asked with concerned.

"I found this." Said Simon his voice barely above a whisper as he showed Marceline the diary.

Marceline took the diary and examined it's cover. She saw the name Betty on it and gasped.

"It's your old Fiancée's diary." Said Marceline with understanding.

When they had been traveling together after the war Simon had told her about Betty and about how much he loved her. Marceline opened the book and read the entires. A great pain went through her heart as she read the last entry. She understood why Simon was in the state he was now. She put the diary on the table and hugged Simon.

"It's alright she forgave you. It wasn't your fault that you got separated. Things...just got crazy. It's not your fault she died." Said Marceline in a comforting voice.

"I should have been there for her! She died without hearing me forgive her or comfort her in her final hours!" Sobbed Simon.

"Stop blaming yourself! Your a good person! You found me when I was a little kid. You raised and protected me! Your my father and I will always love you! I'll be here to help you through this like you were there to help me when I was a kid! Betty would be proud of what you've done! You raised and protected me, resisted the spirt of an evil being who wanted to rule the universe, and you help put an end to that evil being! Betty wanted you to find her diary so you would be at peace, not to blame yourself!" Said Marceline.

"My little Marcy has become so wise over the years. Thank you for those words. Your right Betty forgave me. She would be happy about what I've done. She would want me to be happy. It's just that I want to see her one last time and kiss her and say I forgive her and then goodbye. I never had a change to give her a proper goodbye." Said Simon.

The two of them stopped hugging and smiled at one another.

"I'm just going to go to my room and clear my head." Said Simon.

"You go do that." Said Marceline.

"Thanks again Marcy." Said Simon as he walked upstairs towards his room.

"Your welcome." Said Marceline.

She watched him leave. She then thought about his words on about wanting to see Betty one last time. She knew of one place where Simon might be able to do that. The Land of the Dead. Marceline knew about the realm, but she needed more information about it. She flew to the library and found a book that gave information about the realm. She looked under the table of contents and saw something that caught her eye. It was called the Sphere of Spirits.

Marceline flipped to the page and saw a picture of a large white sphere. She read what information there was. According to the book the Sphere of Spirits was a mystical device that a person could use to summon the spirit of a loved one to talk to. That was exactly what she needed to lift Simon's spirit! They would go to The Land of the Dead and find the Sphere of Spirits. Simon would touch it, summon Betty's spirit and make peace with her. Marceline decided to ask Finn and Jake for help. She remembered them telling her about an adventure they had in The Land of the Dead. She went off to go get them. This was going to be one great big adventure!
