Prince Gumball: An 18-year-old gum/human hybrid and Fionna's crush. He is the prince of the Candy Kingdom. Prince Gumball has the same color scheme as his female counterpart. He has pink skin and his hair is somewhat in a quiff. His head is adorned with a small golden crown with a blue jewel. He wears a hot pink shirt with orange-pink puffed sleeves with magenta stripes and under-sleeves (accompanied by dark-pink sleeve cuffs), a large matching collar with a small blue jewel inside a gold crest on it. He has a belt with another gold crest and a small blue jewel design on the buckle, purple striped dark-pink trousers, and dark-purple shoes. Unlike his female counterpart, he also has visible pink eyebrows. Also, when his eyes, enlarge, they are purple. Kind of like how when Fionna's eyes enlarge they look exactly the same, only hers are blue. He also has ears, unlike his female counterpart. His loyal companion is Lord Monochromicorn.

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.

Cake—Fionna's best friend/adoptive sister and Mo-Chro's girlfriend. She doesn't look much like Jake aside from their body proportions. She has white eyes in which the black pupils become circular if surprised, excited, shocked, or scared. She has a cat muzzle and a small nose (compared to Jake's), cat ears, white fur with many coffee colored spots, and a large bushy tail. Cake may know Morse code in order to speak to Lord Monochromicorn, similar to how Jake knows Korean in order to speak to Lady Rainicorn. Cake plays a hammered dulcimer, as opposed to a viola. Her tail "frizzes out" if it is agitated or worried. As a Lumpy Space 'cat', she is a light color of maroon with large spots of fuchsia to match her coffee-colored spots. Her tail is now lumpy and more beaver-tail-like.

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.

Title Card

Prince Gumball flips the table over angrily, spilling over its contents.

Fionna and Cake popped up behind the ice boulder. The seal-guards were still flopping around, their ice spears in flipper. As the flopped by, Fionna and Cake slid past them on their stomachs and tumbled like a tire together to the beginning of the icy trail to the Ice Castle.

"Our mission to capture the Ice Queen is almost complete." smiled Fionna as they began to walk up the trail. "...But I probably shouldn't say stuff like that out loud."

Meanwhile, the Ice Queen was sitting on her zebra-print bed, a glass of lemonade on the floor beside her. She was making a puzzle in the sharp of a star, but was obviously having trouble. "Oh, come on..."

DING DONG!

Ice Queen smirked and slinked to the doorway, her fists glowing with icy power. "Who is iiiiiiiit?" She sprang out, shooting lasers like crazy. "ZAPZAPZAPZAP!" She looked down to see a small box. "Ooh. Someone left me a gift." She picked it up and read the label. "Donuts? But I'm on a diet! ...Oh, who cares." She opened the lid-

Cake popped out, zooming past her onto the icy ground. "SHOULD'VE STUCK TO YOUR DIET!"

"FIONNA AND CAKE! YOU HAVE DESTROYED MY BOX OF FAKE DONUTS!" Ice Queen concentrated her powers on them, but nothing happened. She looked down to see that Cake had grabbed her tiara when she popped out of the box. "Oh no. My tiara has all my powers in it!"

Fionna ripped out a long piece of gauze and pounced on the Ice Queen. "WRAP ATTACK!"

Soon, the Ice Queen was wrapped in gauze from the shoulders down to her stomach, a bandana around her mouth.

Cake picked her up and cooed, "How about I wrap you up like a sweet little infant?"

She wrapped more gauze around Ice Queen until there was gauze from her shoulders to her feet and more around her head, like a child. Ice Queen growled.

"We've finally captured the Ice Queen!" Fionna cheered.

Cake rose one of her furry eyebrows. "Why did we do this again?"

"Prince Gumball explained all of it when he sent us on this assignment. Remember?"

"Go capture the Ice Queen and bring her to me." Prince Gumball said over the hologram, as Fionna and Cake watched.

"Hmm...That really didn't explain anything." Cake said in confusion.

"I'm sure he's got a good reason." Fionna shrugged.

The Candy Kingdom was much different than what Fionna and Cake were used to. All the happy colors from red to green to blue had all gone a sickly green-grey. Thunderclouds boomed overhead, replacing the clouds and blue sky. The two guardians who sat on the castle were no longer blowing bubbles from their wands. Dense fog was everywhere. The doors and windows of the houses and buildings were blocked by wood and tape. It loooked like a horror movie. No one was in sight.

"Where is everyone?" Fionna asked in creepy confusion as they entered the kingdom's village, her legs slicing through the clouds.

"Yeah, this place is completely abandoned." agreed Cake. She looked ahead and paused. "Except for that guy."

Fionna looked ahead.

A man in a fumigation suit was approaching them. His mask was made in a beak-like shape and he wore goggles over his eyes. A black hat was on his head. He was wearing a pitch-black robe, rubber black gloves, heavy black boots, and a sort of small black cape. He was carrying around a sort of tank with a nozzle, spraying out more of the green fog.

He approached Fionna. "You should not be here, Fionna..."

Fionna and Cake shrieked in fear.

"Guys." The man took of his mask and hat, revealing the face of Prince Gumball. "It's just me. Did you bring her?"

"Of course." Fionna said. Cake reached behind her back and took out the wrapped-up Ice Queen.

Prince Gumball smirked, almost evilly.

"So..." Fionna started. "What did the Ice Queen do-"

"GRHIGRHU!" Prince Gumball cut her off. "We don't have time! Quickly! Follow me!"

They all ran all the way to the Castle. They approached the stone wall. Fionna and Cake stopped as Prince Gumball approached it.

"Ecafllaw."

A face appeared on the wall, with small white eyes, small cheeks, and a small mouth.

"Greetings!" Rocky, the face, said. "What is the pass-"

Prince Gumball jammed his fingers into her eyes. "AAAAAHHHHH! YOU GOT ME!"

Rocky opened her tiny mouth to the size of a bus, revealing a dark staircase going downward.

Fionna and Cake glowed. "Secret door!"

"This stairway leads to the dungeon." Prince Gumball said. "Where we'll dump that no-good Ice Queen!"

Fionna looked taken aback. "What did the Ice Queen do to get tossed in there?"

"She didn't do anything." Prince Gumball said. "Not. A. Thing."

"Huh?"

"It's a very long and sad tale, Fionna. You see-"

"Prince Gumball, you are needed at once at the Grand Hall." A voice said from above.

"NOOO!" Prince Gumball boomed, locating a nearby trash can and kicking it to the ground angrily. "I NEED MORE TIME!"

Mandy, who was hanging from a nearby tree, jumped. "Gee, sorry."

"Ok, I need to go." said Prince Gumball, collecting himself. "You two just guard the Ice Queen until I return. And prepare to make her SHRIEK WITH PAIN."

"OK." Cake shrugged.

"Have fun, Prince." Fionna said, and she and Cake descended down the stairway.

"This is a total rook!" Ice Queen complained as they basked in the dungeon. It was literally UNDER the castle. There ceiling was made from the Tree's roots. The walls and floor were made entirely out of dirt, large and small bones sticking out everywhere. There was a single barred door from which they came in. An oxygen tank was locked onto the left wall. Skinny paths of wood were along the walls, bumpy and long.

"Slow down, prisoner!" Cake commanded, leaning against the wooden table. "We've got to record your belongings."

Cake reached into a small cardboard box and pulled out the Ice Queen's magical tiara. "One magical tiara." Cake leaned back to whisper to Fionna. "Probably stolen."

"I didn't steal it!" Ice Queen cried. "I BUILT that item! I BUILT IT WITH THE MAGIC THAT I STOLE!" Ice Queen reached for it, but Cake pulled it away. "Now hand it over or I'll...strike menacing poses at you!"

Suddenly, she was blasted away into the wall by a jet of water. She shrieked.

"CAN IT, INMATE!" Fionna yelled, still holding and pumping the hose of water.

Ice Queen gripped the bars of her cell, her eyes lined with bags and her hair shaggy. "These bars CAN'T HOLD ME FOREVER! I mean, come on, there's only like three of em. You fools have no business guarding prisoners."

"What about these guarding helmets we found?" Fionna asked, attempting to pull the helmet over her head, but barely even got it past her hairline. "AND WE HAVE THE CORNICUAL OF SHAME!"

Ice Queen looked up at the Cornicual, which was staring down on her, its eye narrowed.

"And we have the Stool of Regret!" Fionna gestured over to a busted old stool, which the Ice Queen's tiara was sitting on, sobbing.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."

"How about you just hand me my tiara so I can make ice bars for my cell?" Ice Queen asked.

"OK!" Cake grabbed the tiara and started to run over.

Fionna grabbed her by the fur on her neck. "No, Cupcake! It's a trick!"

Ice Queen chortled. "I'm fooling with you. Intellectually. Hahahahahaha!"

Cake squeezed Fionna's arm in fear.

"Finished!" said Fionna, closing the gate to the Ice Queen's newly-barred cell.

"So..." Ice Queen said. "What am I being charged for?"

"Um..."

"A million counts of brutality!" Cake announced, standing on the table.

"Yeah." shrugged Fionna. "What does it matter, anyway?"

"OF COURSE IT MATTERS!" Ice Queen screamed, flailing her arms. "This is how it works: I disobey your stupid rules, then you mercilessly persecute me!"

"That makes sense." nodded Fionna. "You do terrible things and I punish you."

"IDIOT!" The Ice Queen pointed her sharp finger in Fionna's face. "YOU HAVE DISCHARGED THAT RULE! For...drum-roll, please...I HAVE COMMITTED NO RECENT CRIMES!"

"Really?"

The Ice Queen cackled crazily. "I'M JAMMING YOUR WORLD-SIGHT!"

"Cupcake!" Fionna frantically ran over to the coffe-and-white cat. "She IS starting to convince me we're doing the wrong thing!"

"Fifi."

Cake put her paws on Fionna's shoulder and smacked her with her furry tail.

"Be calmed by my tail. And think of all the horrible things Ice Queen's done!"

"Yeah!" Fionna stalked over to the Ice Queen triumphantly. "You're still a brute that deserves to be in jail!"

"Oh yeah? You know who really deserves to be in jail? I'll show you the REAL brutes!"

Ice Queen stalked over behind her steel bed and pulled out a square object covered by a purple blanket.

"Behold!"

She whipped off the blanket, revealing a mirror, but also blowing out the candle in the cell.

"Uh..." Fionna and Cake squinted their eyes. "It's too dark."

"BEHOLD!"

The Ice Queen brought it forward and slammed it down on the dirt floor...

...But shattered the lower half into pieces.

"BEHOLD!"

She held up the upper half...

But it fell apart in her hands...

Fionna and Cake: O_o?

Ice Queen dug around in the mirror shards and held up the biggest piece. "Behold the true brutes!"

"The brutes is US?" said Fionna in disbelief.

"Cupcake." Fionna pulled the cat over for a private discussion. "Am I crazy or is the Ice Queen RIGHT about this? But if she's in the right...then that means that we're in-!"

"-The Candy Kingdom!"

"No. We're in much, much worse."

"On your feet." Fionna said, opening the creaky door to the Ice Queen's cell.

Ice Queen slumped over to the opening. "Is it time for my execution, boss?"

"No. We're letting you go. It's wrong to imprison you for nothing."

Ice Queen narrowed her milky white eyes. "This is...a trick, isn't it?"

"GET OUT BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"

"There must be someone waiting outside." Ice Queen muttered, stepping out of her cell. "To ambush me! Oh. Is that my tiara over there?"

"Glad that's all taken care of." sighed Cake.

"No. Not quite yet." muttered Fionna.

She pulled Cake over into the cell and slammed the door shut.

Cake groaned in annoyance. "Dang it."

"Sorry. But since WE'RE the bad guys this time, WE'VE got to go to jail."

"This stinks."

"Hey!" Ice Queen stormed over to them, her tiara on her white head. "Get out of my room!"

"You're still-? JUST GET OUT OF HERE!"

"So...You're really breaking me out?"

"Like I said: It's wrong to imprison you!"

"You mean...You believe me?" Tears of joy ran down the Ice Queen's face. "Can it be? Has all the hatred between us somehow blossomed into something more? A friendship! A BEST friendship! Fivsies!" She held out a hand for a high-fived.

Fionna slapped it away.

"Ooh! Slaps in abomination, eh? Well call them Slappy-Abs! See you later, my biceps!"

Fionna narrowed her eyes. "I am no woman's bicep."

Ice Queen pointed her hands in the direction of the wall. "Detect secret door!"

A hidden tunnel appeared in the wall, the light of the outdoors on the other end. "Yes!" She ran down the tunnel, cackling.

One of the stones on the floor lifted up from the ground, and Prince Gumball crawled out. "Apologies for the delay."

"Sheesh." said Cake. "There are a lot of secret doors around here."

"And now Ice Queen." said Prince Gumball, fastening some iron armor on his hands. "Are you prepared to shriek with-" He turned around. "...Pain?"

"Wow." said a sheepish Fionna. "He's so happy we did the right thing, he almost looks...infuriated."

Prince Gumball ripped off the iron armor, narrowed his eyes angrily, and stalked over to them. "Where. Is. The. Ice. Queen?"

The Ice Queen's whoops and cries of happiness could be heard all over the Candy Kingdom.

Prince Gumball stormed over to the wooden table and flipped it over his head in pure anger. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" He turned to the human girl and the cat, his teeth bared like a wild animal.

Fionna cowered from him. "What have we done?"

Prince Gumball opened the cell and picked up Fionna by her rabbit ears. "I'll show you."

When they entered the Grand Hall, there was a gigantic tarp stretching from the ceiling to the floor. Prince Gumball stormed over to it and ripped it out of the way.

Fionna screamed.

The Grand Hall had been made into a makeshift triage center. Hospital bed after hospital bed were lined up, one after another. Candy People were in every one of them. All of their bodies were covered in sheets of ice and snow. Their skins were pale and their eyes were sunken. They looked like more zombies.

"A plague." Prince Gumball sighed. "Of Ice-Blaze Pox."

"Ice Queen did this?" exclaimed Fionna, running over to a icy Starchy and tapping on a block of ice on her eye.

"Well..." said Prince Gumball. "Yes and no..."

It happened three days ago.

"Hey, Prince!" Ice Queen said, flying over the Candy Kingdom's village. "Check out my new trick! It's snowing for you!" She shook her hair, and flakes of white dandruff started to pour down through the air.

I don't think she was TRYING to spread disease.

The Candy Kingdom played around in the dandruff, thinking it was snow. They ate it through the air, they had snowball fights, and they made snowmen. But soon, everyone felt very icy cold and were going pale.

Through my research, I learned that the only way to cure my people was if I caught the Ice Queen's shrieks of pain.

Prince Gumball looked at the page of the book. It held a picture of dandruff raining from the Ice Queen's hair and the Candy People covered in sickly ice. The next page depicted a bawling Ice Queen and cheerful, healthy Candy People.

But when I pleaded with her directly...

"Please," said Prince Gumball to the Ice Queen, standing on Lord Monochromicorn while holding a microphone in his hand. "I beseech your help. In the good name of common decency!"

"So let me get this straight," said Ice Queen, "...You're asking me out?"

"NO!"

Lord Monochromicorn neighed in disgust.

"I think I heard 'diner' in that." Ice Queen smirked. "Oh, he is defiantly asking me out."

"NO!"

Ice Queen's hands glowed. "BE GONE!"

She had her chance to help, but she did NOTHING.

Lord Monochromicorn and Prince Gumball flew away in disgust.

Ice Queen giggled. "He came to ME this time!"

"I had no choice but to try and take her shrieks by force..." said Prince Gumball sadly, sitting down on one of the empty beds.

Cake put on a confused smirk. "By getting us to pound the sugar out of her?"

Fionna frowned deeply. "I can't just pound her up for nothing. That's against my heroic vow."

"I know..." sniffed Prince Gumball, burying his face in his hands. "I know..."

"But I'll get her to give up those shrieks." swore Fionna, getting down on her knees. "Voluntarily. I swear it."

"Oh, thank you Fionna..." sighed Prince Gumball. "I just..." He started to hyperventilate.

Fionna shushed him.

"How are we gonna get those shrieks, Fifi?" asked Cake as they quickly ran up the lane to the Ice Castle.

"I have an idea to fool her." said Fionna. "But you won't like it."

"That sounds suggestive...I don't like it!"

"Ice Queen!" Fionna ran through the entrance to the castle. "Come forth!"

"Is that the voice of friendship I hear?"

Ice Queen stepped into the room, a slender cardboard box in hand. "So. Are you gals ready for Game-Night?"

"Game-Night?" inquired Fionna. "Well...that's really weird..."

Ice Queen turned to her. "Why?"

"Well...you know how best friends act around each other, right? You've had friends before."

"...Uh...yeah...?"

"Yeah. So you know how friends shriek in pain for each other, right?"

"Yeah, totally! Everyone knows that. Shrieking. In pain. For friends..."

Fionna took out the microphone and small but super-loud stereo. "Will you shriek for me, gal?"

"Of course."

Fionna brought the microphone to the Ice Queen's face.

"AAAAAAhahahahahaha...Sorry." Ice Queen pushed the microphone away. "I've got the giggles. I couldn't possibly shriek without laughing uncontrollably. Teeheeteeheeteehee"

Fionna grabbed the bridge of her nose in annoycane.

Cake, the size of a softball, hopped on her shoulder. "We're out of options. Let's just pound it out of her."

"No, Cupcake. We-"

"Wait. There's a bug on you." Ice Queen said.

She slapped Cake off of Fionna's shoulder, knocking Fionna down.

"Ugh. Wait!" Fionna beamed. "This is my chance!"

"Y'know," said Ice Queen, taking out small items from the box. "I made these pieces from my own toenails."

"Boo hoo. Sob. Cry. Bawl."

"Huh?" Ice Queen dropped the box in shock. "Sobbing?"

"Boo hoo." repeated Fionna, still fallen on the ground. "You slapped me, Ice Queen. I do not think I can live anymore, knowing my best bicep has harmed me."

"I was saving you from icky buggy bites!"

"I am dying. Because I know you care not for me." Fionna fell 'limp' on the floor.

Tears welled in the Ice Queen's eyes. "No. M-My bicep! W-What have I done?" She fell down next to Fionna's body, lifting her up. "My best friend. My only friend."

Cake walked up to them. "What about me-?"

"Why?" Ice Queen shrieked. "Why? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!"

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The snow and ice melted away from the Candy People's bodies. Their body temperatures rose immensly, and their color came back to their skins/creams/sugars. Soon, the floor of the Grand Hall was covered in icy water.

"Starchy's feeling healthy again." Starchy's muscles expanded and bloated. "A bit too healthy, if you ask me."

"Everyone's healed! Fionna and Cake did it!" exclaimed Prince Gumball excitedly. "أنا سعيد حتى أتمكن من، ويمكنني أن" He fainted.

Ice Queen dropped Fionna's body. "Oh well." She walked away. "Gunta, dump Fionna's carcass in the lake."

Fionna stood up and groaned sadly.

"Great job!" cheered Cake. "Those shrieks must have reached all the way to-"

"Did you see how fast she dumped my lifeless body?" said Fionna sadly. "That's just cold."

"Fifi, if I ever came across your carcass, I'd hold you dramatically and shriek in pain forever."

"Thanks, Cupcake."

"Hey, why wait? Play dead."

Fionna smiled and fell limp in Cake's furry arms.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

TRIVIA

The title card is based on a scene in the episode. After Fionna frees the Ice Queen, the Prince screams "What have you done!?" and flips over a table.

This is the second episode a disease ravaged the Candy Kingdom.

When PB is researching the cure involving the pained howls of the Ice King, the number 4815162342 appears on one of the book's pages. These are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, the 'unlucky numbers.'

The password that Prince Gumball uses to gain entrance to the dungeon is "Ecafllaw." Reversed, it's, "Wallface."

Prince Gumball said in Arabic: "أنا سعيد حتى أتمكن من، ويمكنني أن" Translated into English: "I'm So Happy, I could, I could...". and passes out before he could finish.

CULTURAL REFERENCES

The fumigation suit the Prince is wearing is modeled after a plague doctor costume, which was worn by doctors during the Black Plague as they thought the plague could be scared away by the mask.

The box that contains the Ice King's board game reads, "Metropoli". This is a play off of the game "Monopoly".

STORYLINE

This is the first time Lord Monochromicorn and Prince Gumball actually appear together other than in the show's opening sequence.

Prince Gumball's medicine book depicts Ice Queen's shrieks of pain directed to possible candy people, implying that Ice-Blaze pox has happened before.
