CHARACTERS:
The Ice Queen—she is a mentally challenged woman with powers over ice. Although she was originally much more evil and aggressive than her male counterpart, she in the series, she is much more lame and dumb. Like the Ice King kidnaps princesses, she kidnaps princes. The Ice Queen has light blue skin, long white hair, and lightning-shaped eyebrows. Her hair, while also long like the Ice King's beard, is wavy with curls instead of shaggy. She wears a small gold tiara with red gems and a neck band (incrusted with a single blue gem in the center), a blue long sleeved ball gown, and light and dark blue shoes. Like how the Ice King's source of power is in his crown, Ice Queen's is based in her tiara. The Ice Queen's eyebrows are the equivalent of the Ice King's beard, allowing flight.
Fionna—is a 13-year-old adventurer and Cake's adoptive sister. While usually appearing as black dots, her eyes are seen as blue when enlarged. She wears a rabbit-themed hat (similar to Finn's bear-themed hat) with exposed locks of blonde hair. Unlike Finn, her neck is shown. Her outfit includes a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and knee-high socks with two thin horizontal stripes at the top. Fionna is heavier set than. She has a green backpack (similar to Finn's) and Mary Jane shoes. Her name was officially changed from "Fiona" to "Fionna," presumably to make it more similar to Finn's name. The pronunciation, however, has remained unchanged. Like Finn and his crush on Princess Bubblegum, it is revealed in many portraits posted that Fionna has a crush on Prince Gumball. Fionna has buck teeth like a rabbit. Fionna, like Finn, is Cake's adoptive sister. It is shown that as a Lumpy Space girl, she is about 3 feet tall. The top of her has two long white lumps like her hat. The bottom of her is the same as her skirt. She has a small mass of yellow for her small piece of hair.
N.E.P.T.A.-(short for Never-Ending-Pastry-Throwing-Appliance) is a small robot created by Fionna to prank Cake. She is about 2 years old, and is sort of confused with the new world she has been created to. She is an ash-gray microwave with a rusty silver arm on her right side. She has a small battle-ship-gray can on the top of her with a poorly scribbled face, with wires poring out, intending to be her face, but the gray dials on her left side became her face instead. She has four black wheels on the bottom of her to move. She also has a sort of button on the bottom of her face (which purpose is unknown.) She has a cracked light-bulb on the inside of her.
What is Life?
Title Card
The multiple balloons soared Fionna through the air. Fionna looked thoughtful, almost confused.
Fionna sighed lazily as she played a video game on BMO. It was raining harshly outside, and there were no adventures for the heroine.
There was a plopping sound, and Fionna looked up to see that Cake had just come up the stairs, plopping down a large garbage bag. She was chuckling and giggling like crazy.
"What so funny?" Fionna asked.
"Oh, ya know..." Cake heaved with a giggle, pulling up the garbage bag. "Just carrying this garbage bag...full of honey...upstairs..." She giggled again.
Fionna looked up in confusion. "That's not funny."
Suddenly, Cake lifted the bag above her head and threw it at Fionna with all of her strength. Fionna yelped as the bag burst, covering her in sticky, gooey, amber honey all over her.
Cake laughed hysterically and fell on the floor, clutching her sides.
"I can't BELIEVE I didn't see that coming!" Fionna growled, slapping her hand with frustration, squirting sticky honey from her palm.
"Yeah, I'm a genius." Cake said smugly.
"You have offended my honor, Miss." Fionna said dramatically, leaning across the table to stare at Cake intensely. "And in doing so, you have awakened the pranking demon that sleeps in my soul." She leaned so close that she was practically nose-to-nose with the cat. "The demon is going to prank you..." She jumped up. "SO HAAAAAAAARD!"
"Whatever. I'm going to take a nap." Cake yawned and fell asleep, letting her head fall onto her back while walked upstairs.
"That's right, suckah!" Fionna called. "Nap it up! For when you awake, the pranking demon will be upon you!"
The door squeaked shut.
"What am I going to do?" Fionna asked herself. She began thumping her head against the table. "Nothing's better than throwing a big bag of honey at someone! It's the best prank ever!"
She grabbed a nearby, moldy book. "Maybe this book of pictures can help me!"
She opened the book. "ANSWER ME, BOOK! WHAT'S BETTER THAN HONEY?"
She looked at a unicorn. "A horse..."
A battle ship. "A board-game..."
A pilgrim. "A hobo..."
She randomly flipped through. "A nerd...a turtle...a wedding ring...a bakery..."
She flipped the book back. "Wait! Book, rewind!" She turned back to the picture of a baker putting in a tray of rolls into the oven. "That's it! I'LL THROW RANDOM PASTRIES AT CUPCAKE'S FACE! FOREVER! All I have to do is build a never-ending-pastry-thowing-appliance!" She laughed evilly, like a villan about to murder.
The rain still pounding, Fionna was now in the garage of the Treehouse, digging through box after box, taking out various items for the appliance. She began to sing to herself.
"I'm gonna build me a pastry throwin' robot
That throws never ending PASTRIES
On Cake's ugly FA-ACE
and she won't know what hit her
Cause the pastries are
N-N-N-N-NEVER N-N-N-N-NEVER N-N-N-NEVER ENDING.
It's never ending pastry throwing time!"
Fionna looked at her new creation. A rusty microwave with a cracked light-bulb with a metal fork on the right side and knobs on the left. She had a soup can with a badly scribbled, feminine face on top of the microwave, wires pouring out of the top. She had taped a small button onto the bottom of it. The last things it had were four small wheels on the bottom.
BRILLIANT!
She waited for the robot to come to life. "Come on!"
"..."
"...come on, dude!" Fionna pushed the button on the robot. "Turn on!"
"..."
"Come on!" Fionna yelped angrily. She kicked the robot, who remained motionless. "I used a lot of metal junk and wires! Why isn't it working?"
She picked up the robot and threw it into the harsh rain, and it landed on its side with a crash.
Fionna breathed heavily. "I'll never make a prank better than Cupcake's bag of honey."
Then, there was a crack of thunder, and a lighting bolt shot out of a sky. It hit the robot with a blinding flash.
The robot yelped.
"HOLY STUFF!" Fionna yelped in awe.
The robot landed on its front. "Ouch!"
"It talked!" Fionna gasped. The rain stopped, he ran over to the robot and picked it up. "Wow cow chow! You're alive!"
"..."
Fionna frowned when the robot did not respond. "I...think you are..."
She turned the robot this way and that. Left, up, down, right-"AH!"
Apparently, due to the lightning, the robot's dials and knobs on its right side had turned itself into a face, with an 'o' shaped mouth, knob-eyes, and small lines for eyelashes.
Fionna smiled. "Hey!"
"My name is N.E.P.T.A." The robot said in a robotic female voice. "The Never-Ending-Pastry-Throwing-Appliance."
"Perfect!" Fionna cheered. "You're exactly the kind of robot I was trying to make!"
"Yes! I am the Never-Ending-Pastry-Throwing-Appliance!"
"I get it, I get it," Fionna chuckled, and set N.E.P.T.A. onto the ground.
"Creator," N.E.P.T.A. said, "I am eager to commence the creation and propulsion of pastries forever. But my throwing appendage is...ugh...malfunctioning."
Fionna frowned at N.E.P.T.A. as she slowly moved her fork-arm, which creaked and fizzled with sparks.
"And my light bulb is cold." N.E.P.T.A. groaned, gesturing to the cracked light bulb in her microwave. "And my wheels do not roll! They only do skids!" She whimpered, trying her best to move, but only ending up buffing the grass. "Creator! You've given me a crippled body and and an insatiable hunger for baking! Why, Creator? Are you punishing me? Did you create me so you could pity me?"
Fionna gasped. She stopped N.E.P.T.A. from skidding along the grass. "N.E.P.T.A.! Don't say stuff like that!" She picked the robot off of the ground gingerly. "Look, I know we just met, and you're probably going through some personal stuff right now. But I really like you, N.E.P.T.A. I think you're a cool gal. And I'm not gonna rest until you're working properly and throwing hot pastries at my best friend's face."
"Is that my purpose in my world, Creator?"
Fionna nodded just as the sun peaked out behind the crowd, showering them both in sunlight. "Together, we're going to prank the pants off of Cupcake."
N.E.P.T.A. laughed.
"Now all we need is more lightning power!" Fionna said, and began walking away. She looked up in the horizon, where the Ice Kingdom castle was shining in the sun. "And I think I know just the dumb-hole who we can get some from: The Ice Queen!"
Later, as a group of balloons floated Fionna and N.E.P.T.A. over the Ice Kingdom, N.E.P.T.A. stated, "What beautiful mountains of sugar!"
"No, N.E.P.T.A.," Fionna told her, "We call that snow."
"Snooooooooow?" N.E.P.T.A. said slowly. "What is that massive gray thing called?"
"Hmm?" Fionna looked ahead-
-and smacked right into the icy wall of the Ice Queen's tower.
Wiping the snow off of her face, she asked the balloons, "Did y'all smack me into that wall on purpose?"
"Yeeeeeeeeah!" The balloons laughed and giggled.
"Take notes, N.E.P.T.A.," Fionna instructed the robot. "These guys and gals are top-notch pranksters." She turned to the balloons. "You guys stay out here in case we need a quick escape."
"Yeah!"
"Sure, Fionna!"
"We've got your back!"
Fionna nodded and slipped into the tower's A-shaped window.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...I took her wallet."
They all laughed like crazy.
"Just gonna bust in and sneak out until we find her Lightning-Bolt Stash..." Fionna muttered to herself, slinking across the icy floor of the Ice Queen's tower's main room.
"But Creator," N.E.P.T.A. said, "Isn't breaking and entering wrong?"
"No, gal. We're PRANKING and entering. Which is rad."
She sneaked like a snake across the living room, as quiet as a mouse.
N.E.P.T.A. began to mutter excitedly. "Sneaking...we're sneaking..."
"Shush, N.E.P.T.A.!"
"Sneaking..."
"Shush! N.E.P.T.A., you're gonna get us caught!"
"SNEAKING!"
A light clicked on in the other room, and Fionna froze.
Fionna silently ran across the room to hide. "Oh, Glob!"
Fionna hid behind the snowy sofa. She peeked behind the sofa. Ice Queen was walking into her room, her hair messy, and instead of her normal cobalt dress, she was now wearing a puffy aquamarine robe and slippers.
"Is that you, dearest pie?" Fionna cocked an eyebrow at her words. "How was your day at work?"
Ice Queen turned her voice low and deep. "'Horrible. How could I ever be happy when I'm apart from you, the Ice Queen?'" Ice Queen turned to a snowy gray sea lion with large tusks. "See, Gunta, that's how it would be if I HAD a husband."
"Morp morp morp?"
"What? I dunno...he'd...work in a...bakery or...something...Then he'd give me all the uneaten pastries I want!"
Fionna felt the Ice Queen sit on the sofa she was hiding behind. She stiffened.
"Game time!" Ice Queen said. She took Gunta, set her in front of her, and took out a slim metal plate and set it on Gunta's head.
She turned the disk on, and a robotic score played. The holographic screen came on. A handsome man appeared, sword in hand, in front of a small rabbit.
Ice Queen hit a few buttons. The man swung his sword, but it sliced at the air above the rabbit.
"Oh...come on...kill the rabbit...she's right in front of you!" Ice Queen grunted, clicking the buttons like there was no tomorrow.
"Creator," N.E.P.T.A. whispered loudly, "If we get caught, I want you to know I love you."
"Ssshh!" Fionna shushed her. "You've already told me that! And we're not gonna get caught. We're going to get you working so we can prank Cupcake! She could wake up from her nap at any second."
Cake rolled around in her bed (which was really a drawer filled with a pillow and blanket.) She moaned. In her sleep, she flailed her arms, "I might wake up at any second!"
...
"Nah. I'm still asleep."
"Oh no!" Ice Queen shrieked. "That rabbit is firing a Fire Charm at my hottie! NOOO!"
"Quick! While she's distracted!" Fionna whispered to N.E.P.T.A.
She stepped from behind the sofa to behind a stalagmite of ice. She slid from that to a pillar of snow. N.E.P.T.A. giggled.
"Morp?" Gunta inquired.
"THIS GAME CHEATS ANYWAY!" Ice Queen shrieked, lifting the disk off of Gunta's head, allowing Gunta to walk over to the snowy pillar.
Ice Queen attempted to set her disk back down, only for it to shatter on the floor.
"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, GUNTA!"
Fionna peeked from behind the snowy pillar, unaware that Gunta flopped closer.
"We're home free, N.E.P.T.A." Fionna whispered excitedly to the robot.
"MORP!"
Fionna jumped a mile high and span around at the snowy gray sea lion.
Ice Queen raised an eyebrow at the sea lion's sudden outburst and walked over. "Stop it, Gunta!"
"MORP! MORP! MORP!"
"You're starting to infuriate me!"
"MOOOOOOORP!"
"WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT?"
Fionna started to circle around the pillar, Gunta following her, and Ice Queen following Gunta. Soon, Gunta was only circling the pillar. Gunta looked up and saw that Fionna had climbed all the way up the pillar to the ceiling.
"It's like you're trying to alert me," Ice Queen said slowly, "Warn me...about, I don't know, an intruder? An enemy? Perhaps she's in this very room. Lurking just outside my field of vision."
"MORP!"
"Well, knock it off!"
Fionna chuckled inwardly and hopped from the pillar to a stalactite, causing Gunta to morp more.
"What do we do, Creator?" N.E.P.T.A. asked as Fionna hopped to another stalactite.
Fionna guffawed. "We're gonna prank her, N.E.P.T.A. HARD-CORE."
"You're looking kinda fat, Gunta," Ice Queen said, lifting up Gunta's flippers and flapping them around, "Fat, fat, fat. Mommy's little fatty. You'll never get a Morp date with all that fat, ya know."
Fionna picked an icicle from the ceiling and dropped it down below. Gunta began to flail her flippers and wail loudly.
"Oh, don't cry, Gunta," Ice Queen said, "I'll go with you to Morp." The icicle went down the back of her robe, and she shrieked. "Darn this melting ceiling! Darn my life!"
"MORP!"
"DON'T LAUGH AT ME! HELP ME GET THIS OUT!"
"Creator!" N.E.P.T.A. exclaimed, "You've just shown me the joy of pranking! I can't wait to throw pastries at Cake's face! FOREVER!"
"I'm proud of you, N.E.P.T.A." Fionna smiled. Her hand slipped, and she frowned. Then her foot slipped. and her other foot. "The ceiling really is melting!"
And then, with a soft yelp, she fell, N.E.P.T.A. giggling like it was a fun ride. The floor was also melting, and they were sliding across the room in a matter of time.
Ice Queen span around. "What was that?"
"MORP!"
"Stop telling me that, Gunta! FAT LIES!" Ice Queen shrieked as Fionna and N.E.P.T.A. flew down the hall. "I can destroy you, Gunta! I HAVE THAT ABILITY!"
Fionna slid down the hall and was soon flying down a spiral staircase, which was even more melting, causing her to go faster.
"What's happening, Creator?" N.E.P.T.A. cried.
"I CAN'T STOP SLIDING! I PRAY THE GLOB OF SAFE TRAILS WILL GLIDE MY SITTIN' CUSHION TO SAFETY!"
She flew past two Siberian-tiger statues. The statues suddenly blared. "ALARM! ALARM! ALARM! ALARM!"
Fionna growled. "I PRAY THE GLOB OF TIGER-ALARMS GETS RUN OVER BY A BUS!"
"ALARM! ALARM! ALARM! ALARM! ALARM!"
"Huh?" Ice Queen snapped her diary shut. "An intruder? WHERE'S MY GOWN?"
"Maybe a handsome prince is breaking in!" Ice Queen said hopefully, pulling down on the hem of her cobalt gown. "Just like in my poems!"
"Creator!" N.E.P.T.A. said as Fionna glided down the hall. "I think someone is following me!"
Fionna felt the ground rumble. She briefly turned around to see a gigantic Ice-Elephant stampeded down the hall, its icy blue body and razor-sharp tusks flaming. She screamed and ran faster. "Oh Glob, oh Glob, oh Glooooooob!"
"Look, Creator! Lightning!"
"Huh?" Fionna asked, looking ahead at the bolt-shaped metal door ahead of them. "A lightning-shaped door!" Her eyes widened as they sped nearer and nearer to it, her chest tight. "And we're gonna smash right into it! I need to come up with a plan in the next five seconds!"
"Why don't we ask the animal?"
"Oh, yeah!" Fionna said, glancing back at the roaring Ice-Elephant. "Check out my plan, N.E.P.T.A.!"
She turned to the right, in the direction of another pillar. She slid right up the pillar, like a bullet. The Ice-Elephant stampeded right through the meta door, and Fionna landed cat-like on her feet. At the impact of the door, the Ice-Elephant broke to chunks of ice.
"That was a GREAT plan!" N.E.P.T.A. gushed.
"Hm? Nah. That wasn't my plan. My plan was to kick the door down, somehow, and hope the rest would go alright. We got lucky."
She stepped into the room. A furnace was flaming icy flames, white smoke pouring out. Random racks and shelves and machines flashed red, green, blue, yellow, and so on. Chemicals were in small glass tubes on a nearby table, fizzing, bubbling, smoking, and gurgling.
Fionna looked around until she saw a large rack of turquoise lightning bolts in the corner.
"Are those my tickets to the gun-show, Creator?"
"Mhm. You're going to work perfectly. Just like I promised."
Fionna felt the ground shaking violently again, shaking her stomach.
She span around just in time to see an Iceopillar crash into the room, its cobalt eyes the size of cars, its six legs seven feet long. It screeched to a stop, sending the Ice Queen flying and landing on her face.
"Who goes there?" She wiped the frost from her face and looked ahead. "FIONNA! Why can't you ever be a prince!"
D:( "? !"
"ICOPILLAR! ATTACK!"
The Icopillar grabbed the Ice Queen's forehead with its pinchers.
"NOT ME! HER!"
"Let's get some lightning and get out of here!" Fionna cried.
She ran for the rack, only for the Icopillar to fire at it with
"Finish her, my semi-loyal pet!" Ice Queen shrieked.
Fionna dodged attack after attack, ducking and sliding and so on. Eventually, N.E.P.T.A. fell out of her backpack.
"AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER!" Ice Queen screeched. She fired a lightning bolt at the robot.
"N.E.P.T.A.!" Fionna cried.
She jumped in front of the lightning bolt in an attempt to sacrifice herself, but the bolt dodged her and zapped N.E.P.T.A. anyway.
N.E.P.T.A. screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Fionna cried. "Oh. Wait. Yeah. That's what we wanted to happen."
"N.E.P.T.A. is fully functional!" N.E.P.T.A. cheered, rolling around smoothly, shaking her fork-arm around wildly and flashing her light-bulb. She opened her microwave-door and pulled out a piping hot eclair, laughing with excitement.
"YEAH!" Fionna cheered.
Suddenly, the Icopillar grabbed her head with its pinchers, causing her to yelp as it squeezed her tighter, making a sort of cracking noise.
"Crush her!" Ice Queen shrieked. "Crush her like you crushed me!"
"Creator?" N.E.P.T.A. asked worriedly.
"Can you help me out her, N.E.P.T.A.?" Fionna asked, prying the pinchers from her head. "Throw a pastry at it!"
"But my prime directive is to prank Cake!" N.E.P.T.A. said. "Do my robo-eithes allow me to prank-"
"N.E.P.T.A.!" Fionna cried as the Icopillar crushed her waist. "THE PASTRIES!"
"Oh. Right." N.E.P.T.A. said. She fired pastry after pastry at the Icopillar, from a Alexandertorte to a Zlebia.
The Icopillar shrieked as the hot pastries hit its face. It dropped Fionna and fell to the ground with a crash.
"Hey, N.E.P.T.A.," Fionna said, picking up N.E.P.T.A. as the Ice Queen fired at them again. "What was in those pies?"
"Just boisonberries." N.E.P.T.A. smiled wryly. "And...poison...heh heh..."
N.E.P.T.A.'s acting...different, Fionna thought.
"Quick, Fionna, jump!" The balloons chorused as Fionna ran to the window.
She jumped for them, only for them to move out of the way. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The balloons laughed as a few of them floated Fionna back to them. "Aw, you guys got me." Fionna smiled.
The Ice Queen stared after them as they flew away. "Hmmm..."
"Thanks, you guys," Fionna said as the balloons dropped her off in front of the Treehouse. "Your blood oath is fulfilled." She let go of them, setting them floating up into the air. "Return! To the atmosphere tides from whence you came!"
"Yeah!" "Woo!" "To the mesosphere!" "Finally! We can die!"
"Ready to fulfill your pranking directive, N.E.P.T.A.?" Fionna asked the robot.
"I am troubled, Creator. Troubled by a sudden urge to...KIDNAP PRINCES!"
"N.E.P.T.A." Fionna said slowly, kneeling down. "That's a heavy, unsettling thing to say. Which probably means you're just growing into a complex little woman. BUT PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! We're about to prank Cupcake!" She crept over to the door. "On the count of 3, I open the door and you huck pastries at Cupcake. FOREVER."
"Uh...sure..." N.E.P.T.A. said, unsure.
"One."
"Two."
The door flew open.
"THREE!" Ice Queen shrieked.
"She's come to take revenge!" Fionna cried. "Run, N.E.P.T.A.! RUN!"
N.E.P.T.A. quickly rolled over to hid in a clump of dense bushes, shaking with worry.
Fionna lunged at Ice Queen, fist ready. Ice Queen shot a beam at her, leaving her frozen from the neck down, arm poking through the ice.
"It's not always about you, Fionna." Ice Queen said, walking past her to the dense clump of bushes, kneeling down. "I've come to take my daughter."
"YOUR daughter?" Fionna cried.
"Come to mama, daughter." N.E.P.T.A. slipped through the bushes. "I won't attack you, unless provoked."
"DAUGHTER? She's not you're daughter! I built her! If anything, SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!"
Ice Queen gave a dismissive "pshaw" and turned back to N.E.P.T.A. "It was my lightning power that activated her true potential."
She created a small lightning bolt with her index finger. N.E.P.T.A. oohed.
"See? She recognizes my potential spark!" Ice Queen smiled at N.E.P.T.A. "It's ok...when you were struck with my lightning, you became infused with my private particles. "SHE BELONGS TO ME!"
"Is this true, Creator?"
"Of course not! You're not evil like her! You're free! Free to do whatever you want! And you WANT to help me prank Cupcake! C'MON!"
"I'm torn!" N.E.P.T.A. said. "I am processing a love for both princes and pranking!"
"Don't worry, daughter!" Ice Queen said, taking N.E.P.T.A. in her arms. "I'll show you the life you deserve!"
She began to spin around, creating a vortex in the air. Fionna took her free arm and grabbed onto the Ice Queen's dress, causing her to spin, too. "NOOO! N.E.P.T.A.!"
"YES!" Ice Queen cheered once they were at their destination.
Fionna looked around. There was only golden specks floating around the green atmosphere. It went on to infinity.
"Now that we're in my Imagination Zone," Ice Queen said to N.E.P.T.A., "Let me tantalize you with THIS! PRINCES!"
Fionna blinked, and practically all of the princes of Aaa was in the Zone. Prince Gumball, LSP, Ghost Prince, Wildberry Prince, Slime Prince. It went on and on.
"They...are all very handsome..." N.E.P.T.A. said slowly, glancing down at Fionna.
"No, N.E.P.T.A." Fionna begged, shaking her head.
"I do feel tantalized, Mama."
"As my daughter, you can have any one of these men. Choose one."
"I do not know which one to choose." N.E.P.T.A. said, looking at all of the princes.
"Whatever you do, DON'T choose muscle prince." Ice Queen said, lifting up her skirt slightly to show N.E.P.T.A. her crushed leg.
N.E.P.T.A. nodded and looked around. The princes began to shower her with compliments.
"Hey, N.E.P.T.A. I've got skills with a sword." "Hey, beautiful." "You're hot."
"I think...I like the lumpy one."
Ice Queen nodded. "Very well."
The Zone flashed.
They were now sitting on a cliff. Below, the grassy plains shook in the wind and the sun began to set. The streams flowed peacefully. N.E.P.T.A. looked over at Ice Queen, who was now holding LSP.
"As my daughter, you can have anything you want! Nothing is too lavish! Nothing is too extravagant for you! You can even use my limited edition Prince Pit!"
He threw LSP over the cliff. Fionna and N.E.P.T.A. looked down as he fell in the large pit full of other princes. Fionna stared with a D:( face.
"If you keep your husbands in a pit, they'll stay warm and feed each other."
"Tell me more, Mama."
"I will, hija." She picked up N.E.P.T.A. "But then you have to do something for me. I want a daughter who can do better than I. One who can succeed where I have failed. You can mate with robot princes!"
"Can I still prank with Fionna after?"
"NO! NO FIONNA! ONLY ME! I'll show you what will happen if you choose Fionna."
A small screen appeared.
Fionna and Cake were splattering a miserable N.E.P.T.A. with different paints, Fionna with blue and pink, Cake with red and green.
"PAINTING N.E.P.T.A. TO THE MAX!"
"Now do you see what I have been trying to protect you from?" Ice Queen asked N.E.P.T.A.
"N.E.P.T.A.-!"
Suddenly, Muscle Prince grabbed the frozen Fionna from behind. Fionna yelped as he drew her nearer to the edge of the cliff.
Then, Muscle Prince threw her at the Ice Queen. Ice Queen shrieked as Fionna punched her in the face, sending her off of the cliff.
The Ice Queen closed her eyes and zapped them back to the Real World.
"I'm through playing around!" Ice Queen shrieked at N.E.P.T.A. as they appeared in front of the Treehouse once more. "Who do you choose?"
N.E.P.T.A. looked over at Fionna.
"Choose me, N.E.P.T.A. Choose me. Remember the adventure we had to get here!"
N.E.P.T.A. closed her eyes and remembered when Fionna swore to get her working right. How Fionna had failed to sacrifice herself to protect her. How excited she was to prank Cake.
N.E.P.T.A. closed her eyes.
Fionna waited.
Ice Queen waited.
"I...choose..."
"C'mon, N.E.P.T.A..."
"Make the right choice."
"...ICE QUEEN!"
"WHAT?"
Ice Queen cheered. "I knew you'd make the right choice!"
"N.E.P.T.A.!" Fionna cried. "You've got to be flippin' kidding me!
"She made her choice. Get over it, cry-baby." Ice Queen scoffed.
"I'm not finished." N.E.P.T.A. said sternly. "I choose Ice Queen..."
Ice Queen smiled.
"...to prank. HARDCORE!"
"WHAT?" Ice Queen shrieked.
"FRESH-BAKED IRONIC CROISSANT!"
N.E.P.T.A. quickly baked a piping-hot croissant and threw it at Ice Queen. It sizzled on her face.
"MY FACE!" Ice Queen screamed and shrieked, wiping the croissant off of her face. She glared at N.E.P.T.A. and raised her hand. "I BIRTHED YOU AND I CAN UNBIRTH YOU!"
N.E.P.T.A. gasped.
Fionna broke out of the ice and lunged at the Ice Queen. "NEVEEEEEEEEEER!"
Ice Queen was punched hard in the face and passed out. "Oh..."
"Sleep well, Mama." N.E.P.T.A. said quietly. "In your Imagination Zone full of princes."
"You ready to prank Cupcake?" Fionna asked N.E.P.T.A., picking her up.
"Of course. It's why I was created. I love you forever, Creator."
"LET'S GO GET CUPCAKE!"
She took N.E.P.T.A. inside and crept upstairs.
"Cupcake...wake up..."
"Huh?...Oh, hey, Fi-"
SPLAT!
"AAAHHHHH! BEAR CLAW IN THE EYE! I CAN'T SEE! I'M BLIND!"
"CUPCAKE! ARE YOU OKAY? I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!"
"I'm good. I was just messing with you."
"Oh my Glob, Cupcake, you freaked me out!"
"Shall we kidnap princes now, Mama?" N.E.P.T.A. asked Ice Queen as they eatched the sun go down over the horizon.
"Let's just stay here a little longer, sweetie."
N.E.P.T.A. nodded.
TRIVIA
As a joke, when Fionna is reading a book to find how to get back at Cake, the pictures and descriptions of what Fionna reads are not matching.
This episode was originally called "Ice Queen and Daughter".
This episode is where Gunta first appears.
This is one of the few times where Cake is absent for most of the episode.
Ice Queen has a room where she keeps a surplus of lightning.
This is the first instance that Fionna and Cake's garage is seen.
In the video game that the Ice Queen is playing, her player somewhat resembles Marth from Fire Emblem.
The balloons cheered "To the mesosphere, finally we can die!" This is incorrect as balloons usually pop in the stratosphere.
Fionna was wrong when she said, "If anything, she's my daughter!" because she was N.E.P.T.A.'s creator but she was not completely related to Fionna, and Ice Queen infused N.E.P.T.A. with her DNA making Ice Queen her real mother.
When Fionna is building N.E.P.T.A., she attaches the robot arm to the upper side. However, when N.E.P.T.A. comes to life, the arm is moved lower to make room for the face.
HAPPY SUMMER!
