PB stood in complete silence taking in everything but worried for her candy people.
"Well all of this has to stop, either Simon is executed, or he has to be given some sort of punishment" she said in her serious tone.
"What is HIS choice?" I stared at Simon who returned back to his Ice King self "I'd rather just be given a punishment depending on what it is..." he shrugged as the real Simon fought to take control again but the crown held on strong.
Finn held the Enchiridion in his hands and was reading a chapter on how to fight your enemy "Hey! that is my book!" Simon yelled "I discovered that book a long time ago, way back before the Mushroom war."
Suddenly I had a good idea "Marceline is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world? that must be so confusing a little girl~"
I pulled Simon aside as my father attacked Finn and started the fight.
"and i know your going to need me here with you but I'm losing myself and I'm afraid your going to lose me to, this magic keeps me alive but it's driving me crazy, and I need to save you, but who's going to save me?"
I dragged him into a part of the castle and away from PB's guards who were trying to chase us down.
"Please forgive me for whatever I do, when I don't remember you..." I stared at Simon.
"Marceline I can feel myself slipping away, I can't remember what it made me say~ but I remember that I saw you frown, I swear it wasn't me, it was the crown~" We sung together as Simon's eyes came back and I slowly floated around playing my guitar safely in a dungeon room.
"This magic keeps me alive, and it's making me crazy, and I need to save you, but who's going to save me? please forgive me for whatever I do, when I don't remember you, please forgive me for whatever I do, when I don't remember you."
My dad burst through the walls and attacked Simon.
"Simon!" I threw my bass ax guitar at my dad as Simon attacked back with his Ice powers.
"I may not be able to remember anything, but if Marceline cares about me and wants to be my friend I won't stop this friendship!" his voice slowly changed to his old one.
"Nor will I allow you to hurt her again!" he screamed encasing my dad in Ice but that didn't stop him so I threw myself at Simon and got thrown with him hitting the castle walls.
"Major pain dude...you OK there Simon?" I floated down to the floor with him and stood him up straight. His voice changed from Simon to Ice King with each word.
"Marceline...I am sorry about not being able to be there for you all the time like I used to try to...the crown, it takes over and controls me, I grieve everyday for a princess, but Betty...she is dead isn't she? Why...why does the crown torture me so?"
He fell to the floor crying "this bloody crown keeps me alive but tortures me so much...my princess is gone...
forever and horribly gone, dead for she was human, no one will ever be able to replace her and no one will ever want the Ice King for the way he is...I will be alone, the only friends I have is you, Finn and Jake who constantly accuse the idiot me of crimes but yet all I do is yearn for love."
He sat up against the castle walls letting his tears fall from his eyes as I sat next to him.
"I lost my princess too...I dated Princess Bubblegum once, didn't work out...I did one simple thing on accident and she blows up on me, she isn't the perfect person but I loved her, and everyday I'm forced to deal with the fact that she no longer loves me" I sighed and let a few tears fall.
