I DON'T OWN ANY RIGHTS TO ADVENTURE TIME.

A week past since Marshall's exciting moment with Marceline. Though Marcy haven't expressed any dislike in kissing Marshall, the boy couldn't muster the courage to try again.

The king of vampires sighed, slouched against an armchair, thinking of the work he had to do today. Just yesterday, he had to take part in Finn and Jake's mission. With a gadget Princess Bubblegum made to sense abnormal magic signatures, Marshall couldn't help but be dragged around on a wild goose chase. He sighed again, this time, gazing at his housemate.

Marshall smirked, he loved how she would simply absent mindedly strum her bass guitar while staring out to space. It wasn't just that, after living with her for awhile, he noticed some of her habits that he easily found adorable. One of this habits was Marceline biting her lips and frowning when she was frustrated-Marshall found out when playing chess with her the other night, he cautiously threw the game to be beamed at by the victorious Vampire.

"Mars! Wanna play basketball? I'am flipping bored!", Marceline complained, leaning over her acoustic bass.

The boy in question thought for a while, "But, Princess Bubblegum wants me at another dungeon soon.".

"Can't you say no.", she whined, floating over to Marshall.

"There's treasure to find too, I can't be staying her for free you know.", he explained, giving Marcy a slight shrug.

Marceline floated on, ruffling Mar's hair, moaning, "But it was so boring when you weren't here!".

Mars kept quiet, thinking of what she said. Does that mean she wants me around?

Marcy's next question answered his thoughts, "Can I tag along?".

Snow, ice and more ice, the Ice King's domain, the two immortals floated along, dressed for the unforgiving weather. Marshall had his sweater and a coat he borrowed from Marcy together with his always present jeans and sneakers. Marceline came fully prepared with a stylish fur necked coat, skin tight jeans and fur lined snow boots.

"It took you guys long enough!", called out Finn waving his white sword in the air, beside Jake, Fiona and Cake.

Like all self respecting adventurers, they came prepared in snow gear, though Jake and Cake simply wore thick scarfs and boots.

"Heya Marshall!", the human girl greeted, before coming closer to give the unsuspecting vampire a bop on the head.

The poor boy was taken by surprise, "I've heard what you said about me.", she laughed before trotting towards the dungeon entrance.

"Well, she's a dynamite!", Marceline remarked, nonchalantly drifted past Marshall with her hands in her pockets.

Mars caught eyes with a suspiciously acting yellow dog and gave him a raised eyebrow.

The massive crack on the side of the mountain howled as wind rushed out, icicles forming on the roof of the cave gave it a look of a monster's gaping maw. With happy enthusiasm, Finn chanted, "A-a-ad-ad-ad-adventure!".

Fiona followed in suit, shortly followed by their two lifelong companions, Jake and Cake, their voices echoing in the vast darkness.

"Wanna sing too?", Marceline teased Marshall as they tagged along avoiding the icicles jutting from the roof.

"No way~", Mars waved off, floating backwards in front of the suave girl.

Little did Marshall know he was floating towards a huge icicle. Marceline knew all to well, but was too late as she watched the unsuspecting boy collided with the light blue ice.

"Hahahhaaa! Oh gosh, are you alright, ahhhahah!", she heaved, clutching her tummy as she struggled to catch her breath.

Dumbstruck, Marshall rubbed the back of his head, wincing slightly when he felt a small bump on his scalp. His partner's laughter quietened down as she got closer to examine his injury.

"Does it hurt here?", she purred, gently stroking the back of Marshall's head, a blush forming on her cheek as she felt his wavy hair between her fingers.

"Ahh!, ah! There!", he exclaimed holding onto Marceline's wrist in surprise.

The two exchanged gazes, their breath forming mists in the air, not one wanted to say a word. The two sat in each other's embrace oblivious to the stares of their expedition party. Suddenly, the dormant ice creaked alarming sending everyone on the guard, then, without warning, the gadget on Finn's arm rang, piercing the abrupt silence.

"You guy's better move your butts! Your standing on fragile floors!", Prince Gumball screamed, computer monitors going haywire in the holographic background.

With Marcy's hand in his, the team rushed deeper into the ice caves, making no move to look behind. Fiona turned on her light crystal, the others following suit, their soft light amplified by the solid water around them.

"This IS beauuuuut!", Cake remarked, staying next to her pal.

The team slowed down to match Fiona's unhurried pace as they took in the amazing sight. The ice tunnel opened up to a vast cavern crusted by brilliant greenish blue crystals. Almost immediately, they noticed a bright glow close to the floor in the middle of the sphere like cavern. The magic sphere about a three meters in diameter, glowed, casting a dull white light around the smoothed ice floor.

Finn tapped his gadget, sending up a hologram of PB and PGB, "I think we found it...".

The team moved onwards, Finn, Fiona, Cake was stretched across by the always helpful Jake, while Marceline floated into the cavern still tightly holding on to Marshall's pale hand, secretly hoping he didn't mind. Then as they got closer, a shadow formed behind the dull glow of magic.

Marceline gasped, "Simon!".

She blasted in haste towards the old wizard, leaving Marshall behind with the others.

"The Ice King? What the shakes is going on here? PB?", Finn panicked.

"What are you doing here?", Ice King asked, focusing on the orb in front of him.

"Are you doing this?", Marceline shouted, noticing the piles of books around him, she picked up a few, FanFiction. Dimensional Travel Experiment 89-14 July 1984. Dimensional Travel Experiment 156-8 December 1986. Countless papers, books, letters both new and old littered the space around her. He's trying to open a door to another dimension.

The shaky vampire turned on a voice recorder, in Simon's old voice it monologued, "I think it's time to scrap this project, I don't have anything in me anymore... Funds have run dry, my wife has left me, I have nothing, if magic exists then maybe... the experiments will work.".

Marceline dropped the old color faded box, and wiped away silent tears. From behind teary eyes, she didn't see Marshall float in front of her. She melted into his arms, dropping shameless tears into his shoulder. The boy couldn't be happy about this, he knew how much Simon meant to her, it broke his heart a little to see Ice King this way as well.

"Oh hey guys! I've been making this portal see, see!", Simon exclaimed, gesturing at the portal.

Finn dropped of Jake before saying, "We know. You gotta stop this man.".

"Yeah dude, go catch princesses or something...", Jake concurred, shrinking to his original size.

Fiona stepped from behind Finn and into Ice Kings gaze.

Simon gasped, "Fiona? Cake? It works!".

"I thought I was crazy, a little lazy, but now that it works, I can reap the perks!", he chanted, prancing around the glob of light.

Then, suddenly, the glob flashed out several times. Then in a blast of light and wind, the magical sphere exploded, sending the everyone hurtling in different directions.
