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

(Author's Note: Hello everyone after this chapter my version of The Cooler episode will come next. Sorry for the long wait, I've been incredibly busy and I'll be gone for a little for vacation. I hope you enjoy this chapter.)

After the mission at Castle Lemongrab, there was a tense calm. The Candy Kingdom was on high alert for a retaliation from King and his forces and Bubblegum had sent word out to her allies about the recent events at Castle Lemongrab and how King might retaliate and try to start a war with the Candy Kingdom. For two weeks the armies of the Candy Kingdom waited for an attack, but nothing happened. This made Bubblegum uneasy, especially since all the hidden cameras she had hidden in Castle Lemongrab, back when Lemongrab was still in charge, we're now just showing static. Bubblegum was unnerved by this, since she had no idea what King was up to and she was afraid to tell any of the heroes, since the reveal of the Castle Lemongrab cameras would also reveal all the other cameras, Bubblegum had hidden around Ooo and the heroes wouldn't like to know that Bubblegum had been spying on them and all of Ooo. Braco knew about the cameras, but Bubblegum only told him that the cameras were outside the other kingdoms and villages, not inside the buildings and houses. Bubblegum spent a lot of her time thinking about strategies for defense and offense against many different forms of attack. Braco became concerned about his wife, so he came up with an idea to help her relax. The Candy King went down to the lab and found Bubblegum working on some plans. Bubblegum was so busy working that she didn't notice Braco, until he walked up behind and began to rub her shoulders. The Candy Queen tensed up in surprise, but then she saw it was Braco behind and she relaxed and let him rub her shoulders.

"Your tense honey and your letting this whole King thing eat at you." Said Braco.

"I know, but the possibility of King attacking us are high. King has an army and since we took his girlfriend away and attacked his kingdom, there's no doubt in my mind, that King will attack us with everything he has." Said Bubblegum.

"That's true, but we've seen no sign of King or any of his forces spying on us or trying to launch an attack. Perhaps King has figured out that with all the kingdoms and villages allies with us, a attack on the Candy Kingdom would end in disaster." Said Braco.

"Well we do have the Fire Kingdom, the Ice Kingdom, and the Slime Kingdom to help us out, not to mention a few other kingdoms and villages." Said Bubblegum as she began to relax a little.

"You see there's no need to get yourself worked up about this. Now go rest a little. I have a play date set up." Said Braco.

"Play date?" Asked Bubblegum.

"Yep, I just talked to Betty and she's going to bring, her daughter Eria here. Eria is about Neddy's age and I'm positive the two of them will get along just fine." Said Braco.

"That does sound nice. Alright I'll take a break. It'll be good to see Betty and talk to her." Said Bubblegum with a smile.

Braco smiled back.

A couple of hours later Betty flew in carrying Eria. The little ice girl starred at the sights of the Candy Kingdom in wonder as Betty and her walked towards the castle courtyard. The royal family was there to meet Betty and Eria. Braco smiled and walked towards Betty and Eria.

"Hello Betty its good to see you and I see you brought your daughter and I must say she is a adorable little princess." Said Braco with a warm welcoming smile.

"Hello mister Braco. I'm glad to be here." Said Eria with a tiny little bow.

"Oh and such good manners!" Praised Braco.

"What can I say, she gets it from me and her father." Said Betty with a smile.

Braco went over to Bubblegum and Neddy.

"Now I'll just leave you alone and let you have some fun. Don't worry about a thing honey, everything is under control and you remember to be nice and polite Neddy." Said Braco as he gave his wife a quick kiss and he playfully ruffled Neddy's hair.

"Ok daddy." Said Neddy with a smile.

Braco waved goodbye as he headed into the castle to attend to some business, leaving the two queens and their children alone with each other. Eria decided to introduce herself first.

"Hi I'm Eria, the Ice Princess."

"Hi, Eria, I'm Neddy the Candy Prince." Greeted Neddy.

"Nice to meet you." Said Eria.

"You want to see my room?" Asked Neddy.

"Sure." Said Eria.

Neddy headed into the palace followed by Eria. Bubblegum and Betty just smiled and went over to a nearby table and chairs to sit and chat. Peppermint Butler brought the two women some tea to enjoy. As Bubblegum and Betty talked, Bubblegum began to think how she and Betty had a lot in common. The two of them were women, who were kind and used their brains to help others, they both suffered greatly from the Lich at one point or another, and they both greatly loved their husbands and children.

"So I hear Eria is a clone created by Sylvester using DNA from you and Simon." Said Bubblegum.

"She is, but she's nothing like Frost. Eria is just a child and she has no desire to do anything evil." Said Betty.

"Has Eria shown any signs of having powers like you and Simon?" Asked Bubblegum.

"She has shown signs of having powers, but she hasn't used them much." Said Betty.

"I see." Said Bubblegum.

"I hear that Neddy has psychic powers." Said Betty.

"He does and they go far beyond anything I anticipated, when I injected him with some of Goliad's cells. The cells gave Neddy psychic powers and they developed into a new being called Gee, whose a part of Neddy's mind." Said Bubblegum.

"That's very interesting." Said Betty.

Inside the castle, Neddy and Eeia were hanging out in Neddy's room with a bunch of various toys.

"You want to see something neat?" Asked Neddy.

"Ok." Said Eria.

Neddy pointed his righthand at a large teddybear and it slowly lifted into the air and floated towards the two children. Eria gasped in amazement and Neddy smiled as he lowered the teddybear to the ground.

"That's amazing!" Cheered Eria.

"Thanks." Said Neddy.

"Ok...I guess it's my turn to show you something neat." Said Eria as she closed her eyes and lifted her hands up to the celling.

Neddy watched in awe as a cloud appeared above, a cold breeze blew through the room, and it began to snow. The candy prince caught a snowflake in his hand to study it and then he stuck out his tongue to catch a few snowflakes on it. Eria stuck out her own tongue and caught a few snowflakes on her tongue as well. The two children looked at one another with their tongues sticking out and they both burst out laughing. Neddy scooped up some snow and he shaped it into a snowball and threw it at Eria. The snowball hit the ice girl in the side of the head and she shot a brief glare at Neddy, which turned into a mischievous smile as waved her hand to form a bunch of snowflakes into a snowball and then she hurled it at Neddy. The candy boy was struck in the face with the snowball and he wiped it off his face. Neddy smiled mischievously as he used his powers to create snowballs and throw them back at Eria. The Ice Princess quickly retaliated by using her own powers to form snowballs and throw them back at Eria. Soon the children were engaged in a snowball war and after several minutes they were both covered in snow.

"TRUCE!" Said the two children at the same time, before they both burst out laughing.

Eria and Neddy wiped the snow off and then they used their powers to clean up the room.

"Your powers are amazing." Said Eria.

"Thanks. Your powers are pretty great to." Said Neddy.

It was then that Neddy decided to introduce Eria to Gee. Neddy explained what he was going to do, before he summoned Gee's avatar form. Gee appeared next to Neddy and she walked up to Eria, who stared at Gee in amazement.

"Hello Princess Eria. I am Gee. It's nice to meet you." Said Gee as she communicated with Eria telepathically.

"Whoa! It sounds like her voice is in my head!" Said Eria as she reached down and scratched Gee's head.

"That's how she talks and I can do that to." Said Neddy as he used telepath.

Eria was impressed by this.

"I believe Eria is capable of using telepathy as well. I sense some psychic energy from her." Said Gee.

"Really?" Asked Eria with excitement.

"Yes. Now just concentrate and try to speak to Neddy using your mind." Instructed Gee.

Eria closed her eyes and focused with all her might on Neddy.

"UM HELLO...CAN YOU HEAR ME!" Boomed Eria's voice inside Neddy's mind.

Neddy flinched a little, but he quickly responded with his own telepathy.

"Yes I can hear you, though you were a bit loud."

"Sorry." Said Eria telepathically.

"It's ok. Now we can talk with one another from great distances." Said Neddy with a smile.

"We're Telepathy Buddies!" Said Eria with a smile.

The two children then decided to head down to the kitchen for a snack. Neddy used his powers to grab some fruit juice and poured it into an ice tray. The candy prince then put some stretch wrap over the tray and poke some popsicle sticks through it. Eria then took the ice tray and used her powers to freeze the juice, turning it into popsicles. The kids ate their frozen treats and went to explore the castle. An hour later their mothers called them and it was time for Eria to go home.

"It was nice meeting you." Said Eria.

"It was nice meeting you to." Said Neddy.

"Maybe you can visit me in the Ice Kingdom." Said Eria.

"I'd like that." Said Neddy.

"See you around Telepathy Buddy." Said Eria using telepathy.

"Later Telepathy Buddy." Said Neddy using his telepathy.

Betty picked up Eria and flew into the air waving goodbye to Bubblegum and Neddy. The Candy Queen and her son waved back as they watched Betty and Eria fly away.

And so the play date was over and a new friendship had been born.

To be continued.
