Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

Things were going smoothly for the heroes of Ooo. Henry and Lance had recently gotten themselves a trident and a sword for weapons. Finn had managed to create a robot to prank Jake using a electric oven, a soup can, a circuit-board, wires, a tuning-fork and some toy tank treads. Finn then drew a face on the soup can, intending it to function as his face, but the knobs on the robot's side became his face whenFinn brought it to life using some of Lance's electricity. The new robot was was called Never-Ending Pie-Throwing Robot or simply Neptr for short.

At the Candy Kingdom, Bufo and Forest Wizard told Bubblegum everything they knew about the organization, wasn't much. The two wizards were later transported to Wizard City to be thrown in Wizard Jail for releasing Bella Noche.

Anyhow a couple of Ooo's heroes were fixing to be visited by some people of their past. Marceline was hanging outside her house jamming, when all of a suddenly the spirit of Ash appeared next to her. Marceline was first startled to see Ash, but then she just looked a little annoyed.

"Why are you here Ash?" Asked Marceline.

"I'm here to apologize again. I know I kinda apologized right before I died, but I felt like it was rushed and I really want to apologize for everything that went down between us." Said Ash.

"Alright." Said Marceline.

"I'm sorry for trading Hambo to Maja for a wand. He was important to you and it wasn't cool. You and I had a great thing going and I messed it up. I'm sorry for that little incident at Castle Lemongrab where I tried to hit on your cousin. Then I helped release Bella Noche and nearly got a person you cared about killed. I'm sorry for that. And I'm really sorry about teaming up with those psychos and trying to kill you. It was totally no cool and I really hurt you, and I'm really sorry about all of it." Said Ash.

"Aw...Ash that's really nice of you and I forgive you." Said Marceline.

"Thanks and I'm happy that your with someone, who actually appreciates you." Said Ash with a smile before he began to fade away.

Marceline smiled a little and strummed her guitar some more.

Miles away in Wizard City, Huntress Wizard was sleeping, but a special someone was going to visit her tonight. Huntress Wizard was dreaming she was in a forest, when she heard a noise from behind. The wizard spun around and found Hunter Wizard standing behind her smiling.

"Hunter!" Cried Huntress Wizard as she ran over to her boyfriend and hugged him.

"Hey there Artemis." Said Hunter Wizard as he returned the hug.

"I'm so...sorry for killing you! I should have tried to save you and cured the emotional madness that took ahold of you from Maja's experiments." Cried Huntress Wizard.

"It's ok Artemis, what happened was not your fault. I would have killed you and several others if you hadn't shot an arrow through my heart. If I had managed to come to my senses I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hurt anybody. So starting now I want you to forgive yourself." Said Hunter Wizard.

"Ok...I'll forgive myself." Said Huntress Wizard with a faint smile.

"Good and there's one other thing I want you to do. I want you to smile more often. You used to have such a good smile, but now you hardly smile anymore. Your smile was one of your best features and I loved it." Said Hunter Wizard.

Huntress Wizard smiled and Hunter Wizard laughed.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" He said before he leaned in and kissed Huntress Wizard on the lips.

Huntress Wizard was first shocked by this, but then she returned the kiss. After a few seconds they stopped kissing and just looked at one another smiling. Though one of them was dead, they would always be together in one way or another.

As deep as these moments of forgiveness and love were, there was sadly a great darkness growing in the Land of Ooo. In the Mountain of Matthew, both Matthew and Orgalorg had finally fully recovered. The two evil beings had recently been joined by Ogdoad the shadow demon.

"A bunch of evil has been recently eliminated my comrades, but soon the three of us and several others will be called upon by the Lich to take their place and thus we shall finish what we started so many years ago." Said Ogdoad.

The three villains laughed evilly at the thought. New evil forces were on the horizon.

To be continued.
