Fionna PoV.

"Do you take that thing everywhere you go?" Fionna asked, the boy had slung his axe instrument over his shoulder, and shrugged, "Yeah, always have. Why?" Fionna looked at the ground, "Well isn't it heavy?" he turned for the door, "Got used to it after a while." He said, he jumped on the windowsill, Fionna stepped forward, "Wait a minute, I can lower you down-""Don't worry, I've been doing this for years." He took his axe off and jumped out the window, Fionna squeaked with surprise and looked out the window to see Marshall slide down the walls of the tower with his axe and reach the ground safely, she stared at him in awe, he pulled his instrument out of the wall and looked up, "You coming Goldie Locks?" he called up, she huffed and strung her hair through the hook, she looked back at her home one last time, maybe I shouldn't, she thought, she shook her head, no! You've been dreaming about this your whole life! Don't back down! "Fi, you ready?" Cake asked, she wrapped her stretchy arms around Fionna's shoulders, she nodded, gripping her hair tightly and leaning over the edge, "Haven't got all day, Blondie!" Marshall called, Fionna stuck her tongue out, "Quiet you!" she snapped, he rolled his eyes and smirked, "Hey if you're afraid of falling I'll catch you." He teased, she sighed and looked back at Cake, "You ready?" Cake tightened her grip around her shoulders and nodded, Fionna gripped her hair and jumped out the window and slid down her rope like hair, all the way down until she was less than a foot off the ground she stopped, she looked down at the grass, hesitantly, Marshall laughed, "It's alright, it's just grass, it's not going to hurt you." She gripped her hair unsurely, Marshall sighed and raised an eyebrow, "Here," he held out his hand for her to take, "C'mon you're gonna be okay." She thought for a moment and let one hand let go of her hair and took his hand, she let go of her hair and stepped on the ground and tripped into his arms, "Whoa!" he laughed, "first step on dry land and gives a clumsy entrance!" she blushed and pushed away from him, but looked down at the grass, it felt soft and cool under her feet she smiled, then she looked up to see him stifle a laugh she turned away in a huff and walked away, he was probably just a boy-toy with other girls, she thought, as she tugged the rest of her hair to follow her and walked towards the tunnel entrance taking in each step at a time, getting a feeling for the grass, "He sure is flirty with you, despite the fact you were pretty rough with him," Cake whispered into her ear, Fionna sighed, "He probably lost so many brain cells, his head's a little screwy." She giggled, "I can hear you." Marshall said, right behind her into her ear, Cake shrieked and dug her claws into her skin, "Ow! Cake!" she turned around and scowled, "Watch it, Marshall Lee!" she snapped and trudged on, Cake was still shaking, but sheathed her claws, she leaned in closer and whispered quiet enough for only the two of them could hear, "Fionna, I really don't like that boy…" she said, "I know Cake, but we're only going to be with him for 5 days, so hold on, okay?" Cake looked back at Marshall unsurely and sighed, "I just hope so…" she murmured.

As they entered the forest, Fionna looked around in awe at the tall trees, the birds, and the small animals; she was like a little kid in a candy store. She messed around with Cake and rolled in the grass. But, she had reoccurring…mood swings, which Marshall had to endure; the whole time.

10 minutes Later…

"I can't believe I did this! I feel so free!" She gasped, "Mother would be so furious…oh, that's okay, what she doesn't know won't kill her right?" Fionna said plucking the petals of a lotus flower happily. Marshall watched her talk to herself; he gave her a weird look.

20 minutes Later…

"Oh my Glob…this would kill her!" Fionna whimpered as she hid in a small cave rocking back in forth in despair. Marshall sighed, wow, he thought.

30 minutes Later…

"THIS IS SO FUN!" She squealed as she ran around kicking leaves in the air, several ending up in Marshall's face, he grunted in annoyance.

40 minutes Later…

"I; am a horrible daughter. That's it; I'm going back." She had climbed a tree and rested her head against the trunk, her hair dangling to the side, touching the ground, Marshall was getting creeped out by her mood swings.

50 minutes Later…

"I'm never going back!" Fionna cried as she rolled down the hill getting wrapped in her hair, giggling and laughing like a five year old; Marshall leaned against a tree and chuckled.

55 minutes Later…

"I am a despicable human being!" Fionna sobbed into the ground, Marshall sighed exasperated and flopped backwards on the ground into the grass.

1 hour Later…

"Woo Hoo! Best day EVER!" Fionna swung around a tree on her hair like a swing, as Marshall waited for her at the bottom of a tree, watching her swing around.

Later…

"I can't help but notice you're a little at war with yourself…" he said as he looked down at the crying girl, she turned her head and looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy, "What?" she said, Marshall shrugged, "I'm only picking bits and pieces; over protective mom, forbidden road trip…are you really okay with that?" she stood up abruptly and rubbed her eyes, "Of course I'm fine with it! I've been dreaming about this day my whole life!" she said, Marshall sighed and crossed his arms , and looked up in thought, "Well…I guess this is part of growing; a little rebellion and freedom…hey you're hitting puberty…" she gave him a scowl, he laughed again, "Look, she won't be back in a week, and the lanterns won't come in 5 days, so you're going to end up returning me home two days before she comes back." She said, he exhaled, "Fine, we can go. But there's one stop we have to take." He took her hand and pulled her along. Fionna blushed as Cake appeared on her shoulder, once again the size of a tea cup, "You better watch that boy, Fi, who knows what he could be up to…" they both looked back up to the raven haired boy, he didn't seem to hear, Fionna sighed, "Who knows, Cake, who knows…" she murmured.

Ice Queen PoV.

Lord M. sniffed the ground relentlessly looking for the renegade thief, Marshall Lee, he had him within his sight, and he lost him. He heard a rustle from behind him, his head shot up, he trotted quickly behind a boulder, as he heard the footsteps grow closer; he jumped out grunting with triumph, only to find that he had startled the Ice Queen, she yelped with surprise, but relaxed once she saw what it was, "oh, a lone palace horse…" she said with a sigh, then she realized, "But…where is your rider?" She whispered under her breath, her eyes widened, "Fionna…" she turned back to the direction she came had come, "Fionna!" she yelled in a desperate tone, she turned and ran off leaving a confuse Monochromicorn alone in the forest.

The Ice woman ran back to the tower, stopping at the bottom, heart racing with panic, "Fionna! Let down your hair!" she called up trying to keep calm; no response. "Fionna?" she called again; still no response. Panic over taking her, she rushed around the tall structure to a vine covered wall, she tore away the leafy curtain to reveal loose stones and bricks, she grabbed the nearest brick and stone yanking open another entrance into the tower, led up by a long swirling staircase, she ran all the way up the dark stairway, tripping on her skirts on the way up, until she hit the ceiling, she used her shoulder to pop out a loose tile-brick into the tower. She climbed out of the hole and ran up to Fionna's room, "Fionna?" she yanked the covers off her bed to find it empty, she looked in her room, the windows, but unable to find her golden haired daughter. She stood in the middle of her room breathing heavily; she ran her long thin fingers through her long black hair, shaking from panic. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something glint in one of the steps of the staircase, she cocked her head to the side walking towards the sparkling object, she kneeled down and tore the top off of the step to reveal a brown leather bag, she grabbed the bag and opened it taking out the lost princess's tiara, her eyes widened and flung it to the floor as if it had burst into flames, she stared at it as if it were about to attack her, she reached into the bag again and found a crumpled piece of paper, she unwrinkled it to reveal a WANTED poster with a picture of a handsome young boy with raven hair and enticing eyes, she narrowed her eyes. She had no other choice: she had to use it.

She walked to her room and opened the wardrobe that she had not opened in almost 15 years, to reveal a golden crown with three red rubies in it, resting on a small blue pillow, she sighed leaning on the wardrobe doors, "I thought I would never have to wear this again…" she gingerly picked the tiara and put it on her head. Immediately, her black ankle long hair turned snowy white, and she pale skin turned to an icy blue color as if she had been frozen, and her eyes had turned into piercing, ice cold silver.

She opened her nightstand drawer and took out a silver dagger with a blue leather handle. She inspected the sharp blade hungrily and looked down at the poster that was in her other hand disdainfully, "Let's see how this will end for you …" she looked at it closely, and smirked, "But I won't be alone in your extermination." She crumpled the poster as it froze into a thick block of ice in her hand, "You'll see what happens to those who take what is mine." She dropped the ice on the ground as it shattered into pieces.

"I'll find you…Marshall Lee."

And for the first time in almost 15 years, the most feared villainess in Aaa, had returned.

The Ice Queen.
