AN; Hey guys! I just want to say Thanks a ton for the reviews! I read ALL of them and they really encourage me to finish the story, they are the best motivation in the world!
We are close to the end now though, so I hope i'll manage to actually finish it very soonis in the upcoming days. All though some may have noticed, the E-mail alert on was broken for a while, so if you didn't recieve any update alerts before right now and only read from the chapter you got an alert from... You missed some. So well, there's more materal to go back and read.
Mostly very sappy emotional stuff with Marceline and Betty thinking back at their own version of Simon hehe. I will say what I really appreciate about Adventure time is that it is both very humourus but also has so much heart, so yeah. My story here is obviously more sappy than the actual show, but I hope you can forgive me. Simon is everybodies little darling and we just want him to be happy yes we do!
It was a snap decision to borrow Lady Rhanicorn for a ride as obviously that would by far be the fastest way to get to the assigned destination, fortunately for Marceline the entire sky was blocked out by extremely dark clouds so not one beam of sunlight could get through.
Marceline sat in the front keeping a sharp lookout, right behind her was Simon, then the three wizards from the secret Guisuppe society whom all seemed to think this was some fun joyright and cheered that they were going to be heroes and at last Huntress Wizard keeping a lookout from the rear.
As they flew over the land did Simon keep making circle motions over his tendrills with his fingers as he groaned, Marceline looked over her shoulder. "Your head still bothering you?" she asked.
"To a degree, but right now I am just trying to figure all this out." Simon admitted. "My name is Simon but I am also the Ice King. What ever that means. Those three guys behind me all seem to know me and… We are friends I guess? And part of some secret wizard society. So I guess i'm a wizard. huh, I guess that explain the Ice. Sort of." Simon commented. "Does that sound right to you?" he asked.
"Yeah, you actually got it pretty good." Marceline nodded. "What else you got?" she asked.
"Well…" Simon mused. "The two of us are friends obviously, and apparently we've been friends for a very long time. Princess Bubblegum knows who I am, but she doesn't like me very much, so we are not friends. Finn and Jake, that one is kind of odd. It's like they both know me and don't know me, but I think we are friends in a weird kind of way and Huntress wizard." he looked over his shoulder. "She's more of an acquaintance than a friend I think."
Simon counted his fingers as he looked rather thoughtful.
"Still got a lot of questions huh?" Marceline asked.
"You can say that again." Simon nodded then looked at the metal box strapped over Marcelines shoulder. "What's with that crown? It's mine isn't it?"
At that Marceline suddenly got itchy as she grabbed the box and pushed it in front of herself and out of Simons reach.
Simon frowned then looked up. "You said yourself I can't be to far away from it."
"Simon, just don't ask! Please!" Marceline asked.
Simon frowned annoyed. "Marceline, if that crown is my life support don't you think I should know about it?" he asked.
Marceline swallowed. "The crown is the reason your head is all messed up, it's the reason you don't remember anything. So don't touch it!" she demanded in a sharp voice. "Whenever you touch it you get weird and I hate it!"
Astounded Simon blinked. "Marceline.." he breathed.
"I'm… Sorry." Marceline swallowed turning away so her back was to Simon.
Suddenly Lady Rhanicorn let out a big shout and wide-eyed they all had to look in front of them as a great big thunder cloud got in their way and Lady made a certain swing downwards making them all scream. "WOAAAAAH!"
Then thunder bangs came and Lady had to turn left and right, up and down to avoid all the lightning as her passgers could only hold on for their dear leaf. One though was not to lucky as Leaf man suddenly rose up in the air. "No.. NO HELP!" he shouted.
Just as Abracadaniel reached out and grabbed Leaf mans hand. "I got you!" he exclaimed.
And leaf man cried as he held on, Abracadaniels other hand though was slipping and Now Simon had to reach out to grab Abracadaniel. "CAREFUL! YOU'RE SLIPPING!"
"SIMON!" Marcline exclaimed.
Leaf man swallowed. "Let me go." he said. "I'll only slow you down anyway, all I can do is making leafs appear. You don't need me."
"Leaf man." Abracadaniel swallowed tears appearing in his eyes. "You…"
"Dude i'll be fine, i'm literately a leaf. I'll just gently float to the ground." Leaf man pointed out and AbracaDaniel blinked.
"Oh." he realized and let go, immediately there after Leaf man was taken by the wind and flew backwards.
"WEEEEE!" he shouted as the wind brought him in a full loop in the air. "I'M A LEAAAAF! WIZARDS RUUUULESSSS.…" and he was gone.
Simon and Marceline blinked as they looked after the dissapearing Leaf man.
"Your sacrifice will be remembered." Abracadaniel whispered and just then a big thunder clap stroke right in front of Lady and she dug again this time speaking in her tounge.
"She says she'll have to land, it's not safe to fly any longer in this weather." Marceline informed and the rest nodded as Lady dived downwards and finally landed on the vet ground allowing the rest to jump off.
"Thank you Lady." Marcline smiled patting the Rhanicorn.
"We should get going." Huntress wizard stated. "Come on!" and now they all ran together through the heavy rain.
Abracadaniel though was sobbing. "Leaf man." he swallowed.
"There there." Simon padded his shoulder. "He said he would be fine right? You'll see him again ones all this is over."
"I just… I never appreciated him at all. He was just kind of there and I didn't." Abracadaniel sniffed.
"He will be remembered." Life giving Magus nodded solmenly.
Simon decided not to comment any further…. These were his friends huh? The friends he actually spend time with.
Well… erhm. They… They seemed nice.
"So wizards huh?" Simon asked instead.
"Well duh, same as you." Abracadaniel pouted out.
"Ah, yeah. Of course. Hehe… ehh." Simon looked away.
"Ice King." Life giving Magus looked at him. "Is something wrong? You don't seem like yourself at all."
"I don't feel like myself." Simon admitted. "And I don't even know what's wrong."
"Heh, that's just wednesday for you isn't it?" Abracadaniel asked. "Hey it's cool Ice King. I'm your friend you know, if you ever need anything all you have to do is ask." he informed.
"Thanks man." Simon smiled a little amused. "We really hang out a lot?" he asked.
"All the time!" Abracadaniel stated. "Well… When you don't forget, you do have a thing about forgetting our arrangements. But that's okay, you're always happy to see me anyway. You're the nicest person I know! You treat me so nice when I come, you ask me to play with you and we can check out spells together. No one else treat me that nice! Sure you get angry when I get in your way but who wouldn't? I do get in the way a lot."
"Oh." Simon blinked. "I see. What about you?" he looked at Life giving magus.
"It hurts a bit when you invite me only because you want to use my powers." Life giving Magus admitted. "You know I don't like using my powers unless I have to! And you tricked me to do it! More than ones! But… Who else would ever invite me over than you?" he asked. "This one time you even made me dinner, it was really nice. I enjoyed myself a lot that day. And we all get to go to meetings together, I always look forward to the next one. You greet me on the street and call me by my name, you're cool dude."
Those worse though didn't make Simon feel to great, it sounded like he was using these two people for his own means. Sure they were not to intelligent but they seemed to mean so well! Simon could only feel bad. Then he looked up. "Hey guys, I know you are here to help me. And I just want to tell you, that really means a lot to me. That you are here really shows that you are true friends, I am very lucky that you would consider me any friend at all. You guys are great."
And suddenly the two gaped, their eyes widened and then suddenly smiles were plastered on both their faces, Abracadaniel even seemed to be all tears.
"When all this is over, let's have dinner at my place okay? And lets invite Leaf man to." Simon suggested and they both nodded with big wide grins. And Simon exhaled as he turned back to concentrate on his running, he would have to use this dinner to find out how he could help these people, if only to make a little bit up for the things he had an itching feeling he might have done….
Then suddenly the front troop stopped.
"Marceline, what?" Simon asked and his eyes widened as in front of them was a great timber wolf, snarling with salvia dripping from its mouth.
Huntress Wizards eyes narrowed as she pulled her bow and arrow, ready to take aim and Marceline took a fighting stands.
"Wait." Life giving Magus asked as he stepped in front of them. "You don't have time for this, you should get Ice King to the assigned spot, let me handle this."
Huntress Wizard looked at him. "Are you sure?" she asked.
Life giving Magus nodded. "My powers are connected to my emotions, usually I feel very sad. Like everything is hopeless, all I can create then are sad pathetic objects whom hates life. But right now this moment, I actually feel kind of great about myself." he admitted. "Ice King, at our dinner. Would you make that lemon custard I like? It's so tasty."
"Of course." Simon said astounded.
And Life giving Magus smiled as he pulled off his mittens and then sat down on the ground and touched the ground and in the next moment a grand big golem rose from the earth roaring at the timber wolf.
"WOAH!" They all exclaimed.
"Wait are you waiting for?" Life giving magus asked. "GO!"
And the rest nodded as they ran.
Abracadaniel sniffed. "First Leaf man, and now… Life giving Magus!"
"Abracadaniel, they are going to be fine!" Simon assured then grabbed his wrist and pulled him up to a higher speed.
"How long do we have left?" Marceline asked as she floated slightly above the rest.
"Almost there!" Huntress Wizard assured and then she pointed up. "THERE!" she shouted pointing at what looked like a great forest and they all ran for it, however as the reached it they had to stop as the entire fortress entrance seemed to be covered with thick bushes and barbs.
"Oh god, this is going to take forever to get through!" Marceline exclaimed.
"Pff, is that all?" Abracadaniel asked as he stepped forward. "I can handle this!" he grinned then blinked. "I can't believe I just said that." he admitted but then aimed a rainbow beam at the thorns and suddenly they turned into harmless butterflies that flew up and away as well as more harmless pieces of grass and lily flowers that fell down.
"Heh, and you said your powers were pathetic?" Simon asked. "Dude, that's pretty cool."
And Abracadaniel looked up. "You really think so?" he asked. "I mean, I am no good at wizard battles and I can't really build anything amazing or.."
"Do we need anyone to build something big right now?" Simon asked. "The person we need is you isn't it?" he asked and Abracadaniel gasped and then beamed as his rainbow beam grew and transformed even more of the unwelcome terrain, it was almost like he made sunshine and lilies appear and then finally a pathway was open and Abracadaniel fell to the ground.
"ABRACADANIEL!" Simon exclaimed as he fell to his knees beside him and the two others came running.
"Are you okay dude?" Marcline asked.
Weakly Abracadaniel nodded. "I never used so much magic at ones before." he admitted. "It just… felt pretty good right there. I just need to rest."
"Well, we are almost there. Help me get him up." Simon asked as he pulled one of Abracadaniels arms over his shoulder. Immediately Marceline went to the other side and took the other arm lifting him up and finally they stood up, now though Marceline was smiling.
"What?" Simon asked.
"This… this is just so much like you Simon." Marceline smiled. "The way you spoke to them and encouraged them, you made them feel pretty good about themselves. That's just so you!"
"Oh." Simon blinked. "I… Didn't realize that was what I was doing to be honest. It was just, the right thing to do you know."
And Marceline smiled warmly. "Yeah." she said before together they made their way into the woods.
