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

On the planet Earth, things were going ok in Ooo. There was still some tension in the air about Bubblegum's trial, but other then that all was peaceful. At the tree fort, Jake and Jermaine were helping Gata with a project she was doing with BMO. Before she had started working on her project Gata had gone through the tree fort and located several hidden cameras that belonged to Bubblegum and destroyed them. Jake and Jermaine were both shocked and angry that Bubblegum had planted cameras in their house and used them to spy on the heroes. It was a complete violation of trust. Gata was currently working on giving BMO a giant robot transformation, which excited BMO. She had asked Moe for BMO's blueprints to help figure out how to get the transformation to work. Moe had gladly given Gata the blueprints, which helped Gata greatly. After a few days of hard work, Gata was ready to test out the transformation.

Gata headed outside, with Jake, Jermaine, and BMO. She was fixing to have BMO begin his transformation sequence, when Soos came running up to them.

"What's up Soos?" Asked Jake.

"I heard you guys were building a cool giant robot, so I had to come see it." Said Soos.

"Well your just in time." Said Gata.

After some introductions, BMO began his transformation sequence. BMO's legs became longer and boot like, with a pelvis that had a directional button on the top with a red circle button and blue triangle button beneath it. His arms became large and long with two big metal fist. BMO's head stretched becoming the chest of the robot, with his face on it. A glass canopy appeared on top of the chest that went over a chair and controls and two jet wings sprouted from BMO's back.

(Author's Note: To get a better picture of what BMO's giant mech form looks like Google image Adventure Time Issue 47.)

Jake, Jermaine, and Soos stared at the transformed BMO in awe.

"That is so cool dudes! It's like something from anime came to life!" Said Soos as he pulled out a camera and began to take pictures.

"This is totally rad sis!" Said Jake.

"You really know how to build stuff." Said Jermaine.

"Thanks guys. Now let's go for a little test ride." Said Gata.

BMO reached down and picked the four up to be placed in the cockpit. There was some fold down seats in the cockpit for extra passengers, it was a little tight fit, but they all managed to fit in. Gata took the controls and BMO rocketed into the sky on his jet wings. BMO soared into the sky and Gata and the others whooped and cheered with excitement. The robot soon reached a few hundred feet and stopped to hover in the air. Gata, Jake, Jermaine, and Soos looked out the window at the world below. They could see nearly everything in Ooo. The group saw the Candy Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, the Ice Kingdom, Castle Lemongrab, the Slime Kingdom, Goblin Kingdom, the City of Thieves, and various other cities and landmarks in Ooo. It was truly a breathtaking sight.

Jake looked over at Gata and smiled. Though he and Jermaine had only know her for a little since their reunion after the statue incident, Jake was enjoying Gata's company and taking a real shine to his adopted sister. Gata was openly friendly like Finn, she enjoyed going on adventures, and she cared more about the safety and wellbeing of others more then herself. She was super smart and good with machines, but she never came off as being a know it all. Jake stretched a arm around Gata and gave her a little comforting squeeze.

"Your a real awesome person sis." Said Jake.

"Thanks bro." Said Gata with a smile.

They hung out in the sky for a little longer, before heading back towards the ground.

At the Ice Kingdom, Marceline was stopping by for a little visit and ended up running into Patience and Slime Princess who were fixing to go to the Candy Kingdom to have coffee with Bubblegum.

"I still can't believe you two are still pals with Bubblegum after what she did in the Fire Kingdom. Heck you two were the ones, who stopped and captured her." Said Marceline.

"I know it's weird and...a part of me and Slime Princess is still mad at her for what she did to Phoebe and her kingdom. It may be...hard to believe, but I think...Bubblegum is truly remorseful of what she did and she's willing to pay for what she did and take any punishment given to her. As a friend I thick it's best to give her some moral support and comfort." Said Patience.

"Besides I need to tell her I plan to tell Bubblegum I plan to challenge Blargetha to a duel for my kingdom." Said Slime Princess.

"Your going to challenge your sister to a fight? That's kind of crazy Slime Princess. Blargetha would totally bring a tank or something to fight you!" Said Marceline.

"I know that, but that's why I had Patience train me in my elemental powers so I can take her on. I totally have the eye of the tiger and I'm ready to take her on." Said Slime Princess.

"She got in touch with her past lives and they told her what she needs to do." Said Patience.

"You Elementals have some pretty unique powers, so I guess you can handle it. Just call me before you fight your sister, ok Slime Princess. I think it would be best if you had a little backup incase your sister or her gnome husband tries to pull anything." Said Marceline.

"You got it." Said Slime Princess.

Marceline gave Patience and Slime Princess a thumbs up before flying towards the palace. Patience saw Gunther the penguin and went to go pet her.

"Hey Gunther. Whose a good girl? You are." Said Patience as she rubbed the penguin's head.

"You really like that penguin." Said Slime Princess.

"I just really like the name...Gunther for some reason. Maybe a past life had something named Gunther and that thing was important to them. I'll have to look into that." Said Patience as she stopped petting Gunther and stood up.

"Race you to the Candy Kingdom!" Said Slime Princess as she took off into the air on a blast of slime.

"Oh it's on like Donkey Kong!" Said Patience as she took off into the air with a blast of icy wind.

Marceline reached the palace and saw Betty sitting outside on a bench with Eria sitting on her lap with a book. Betty was teaching her daughter to read, when Marceline walked over to them.

"Hey mom. Hey sis." Greeted Marceline.

"Hello Marceline." Said Betty with a smile.

"Big sis! Oh mommy can me and Marcy play?" Said Eria.

"Alright you can play with your big sister." Said Betty.

"Thank you mommy." Said Eria as she hopped off Betty's lap and went over to Marceline.

Eria excitedly grabbed Marceline's righthand and pulled her along talking about games they could play. Betty just smiled as she watched the two girls.

On another part of the Ice Kingdom, Rain was making his way to the palace to see Mabel and spy on the other humans and heroes. Rain reached the front of the palace and knocked on the door. Wendy answered it and smiled when she saw Rain.

"Hey Rain, Mabel's in the living room with Dipper and Pacifica." Said Wendy.

"Thanks." Said Rain as he entered the palace.

Rain went to the living room and saw Dipper sitting on a couch looking through a magic book, Pacifica sat next to him reading a wizard magazine, and Mabel was on the floor playing with Waddles.

"Hey guys." Greeted Rain.

"Rain!" Cheered Mabel excitedly as she jumped to her feet ran over to Rain and embraced him.

"Hey...Mabel it's good to see you." Said Rain as he blushed slightly.

"What's up Rain?" Asked Dipper.

"Oh I just came here to hang." Said Rain.

"Cool." Said Dipper.

"What you reading?" Asked Rain.

"Oh I'm doing some research on a magical item called Horror's Hand." Said Dipper.

(Author's Note: Horror's Hand is from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.)

"What's the story on that?" Asked Pacifica.

"Well according to legend there once was a giant Titan made of magical wood named Horror. Horror desired to be a great warrior, so he came up with a plan to remove fear from his body. He focused all his willpower into challenging all his fear into his lefthand and then he cut it off!" Said Dipper.

"Yikes!" Said Mabel.

"Horror succeeded in making himself fearless, but in doing so he unintentionally created a powerful dangerous weapon. Horror's severed hand became holly and a eye appeared in the center of the hand, which had the power to unleash a person's fears upon them. The hand had become a weapon of fear. Horror realized the hand was dangerous, so he hid it away beneath a mountain." Said Dipper.

"That's crazy." Said Rain.

"It is. I plan to find it." Said Dipper.

"Say what?" Said Mabel.

"I've done some research of some old legends and looked over some old maps and I'm 80% positive the hand is beneath a mountain in Ooo. I narrowed it down to ten mountains." Said Dipper.

"That's impressive." Said Rain as he twisted the red ring on his finger.

"Thanks." Said Dipper.

"Come on Rain let's go for a walk. I've cooped up here all day." Said Mabel as she took Rain's hand and they headed out of the living room.

"Those two make a cute couple." Said Pacifica.

"You really think they're a thing?" Asked Dipper.

"Trust me I know what I'm talking about. Those two are into each other." Said Pacifica.

"I'll take your word for it. So what are you reading?" Said Dipper.

"This article talking about a Celestial Spirit Mage named Karen Lilica." Said Pacifica.

Pacifica showed Dipper the magazine that showed a picture of a young girl with brown eyes and green hair held back by a blue hat. Karen wore a long fur-trimmed red coat with a light pink furry collar and handcuffs on top of a cream and black T-shirt top. She also wore a knee-length dark purple skirt with light brown socks and red high-heeled shoes.

(Author's Note: Karen is from Fairy Tail and I've changed her look and age to help her fit in the story better.)

"According to the article Karen was a powerful young wizard, who was very popular a few years back. Then one day she went after some evil wizards who were causing trouble and she was killed." Said Pacifica.

"Why are you reading this?" Asked Dipper.

"Because...I want to know more about Celestial Magic. I...need to know...why the Celestial Spirits chose me and...why I'm able to summon them." Said Pacifica.

"I see. Is...there something else bothering you?" Said Dipper.

"When...I look at Karen's picture I see the old...me in her face. The overconfident arrogant girl, who looked down at others and mistreated them." Said Pacifica as she bit her lip and a few tears leaked from her eyes.

Dipper put a comforting hand on Pacifica's shoulder.

"Hey don't let this get at you. That was the past and your a much better person now. The fact that you regret your past actions and are trying to be a better persons, proves that your a good person. Your learning to be strong by being and archer and you shouted at that Gentleman Wizard guy, when he mistreated his Celestial Spirit. The Celestial Spirits like you because you treat them as your friends and you care about them. Your a good person Pacifica...and that's why I like...you." Said Dipper.

Pacifica was a little surprised at Dipper's words, but then she smiled at him.

"You know...your a pretty good person too. That's why I like you." Said Pacifica as she kissed Dipper on the cheek.

Both Dipper and Pacifica smiled and blushed at one another. Then they both just laughed and leaned against one another enjoying each other's company.

In another part of the palace, Simon was with Stan and Ford in a room Simon called the archives. It was where Simon kept a bunch of old things he found from the prewar days. A while back Simon had placed an add out about offering money for items from the prewar days. A few things have arrived over the months and now Simon was going through the items with Stan and Ford. The three men were currently opening a medium size crate. They popped the lid off and saw a five foot tall cardboard cutout of a devil-based black and white cartoon character. The cutout had a cheerful-looking expression sporting a wide, toothy grin and pie eyes. He wore black shiny shoes, a white bowtie, and a pair of gloves possessing two black buttons. The shape of his head resembles cartoony "horns".

"Is that who I think it is?" Asked Stan looking a little amazed at the find.

"It is." Said Ford in shock.

"It's Bendy!" Said Simon with a bit of excitement.

(Author's Note: Bendy is from Bendy and the Ink Machine.)

Stan carefully reached into the crate and pulled the Bendy cutout from the crate carefully setting it up.

"I can't believe we found this." Said Ford.

"I know right! Man...it seems like forever since I saw Bendy." Said Stan.

"I remember being just a kid going to the theater to see a Bendy cartoon preview." Said Simon.

"Bendy was one of the greatest cartoons ever and then he just kind of faded away." Said Stan.

"I remember. I think one of the mysterious I first looked into was Bendy's disappearance." Said Ford.

"What did you find?" Asked Simon.

"Not to much. From what I learned from the newspapers from a public library the head of Joey Drew Studios, Jason Drew had some kind of mental breakdown and violently attacked some of his workers. Jason was then arrested and put in an asylum. The studio shutdown after that." Said Ford.

"Another great man gone." Muttered Stan shaking his head.

Simon looked into the crate and saw some Bendy stickers, a few old comic strips, and what appeared to be some film reels. The wizard reached into the crates and pulled out the reels and showed it to the twins, who stared at them with awe.

"Film reels of Bendy!" Said Stan.

"Yep and from judging by their condition they're still good." Said Simon.

"Do you have a project?" Asked Ford.

Simon smiled as he lead Stan and Ford to another room with a projector sitting on a table with some chairs nearby. The wizard plugged the projector in, put in the reels in, turned the lights off, and started the projector. Stan, Ford, and Simon watched as a cartoon of Bendy began to play on the wall. The three men laughed and cheered as they watched the cartoon and began to relive a little of their long gone childhood.

A few hundred yards outside the Ice Kingdom, Mabel and Rain had come across a lake and were skipping rocks on it. Rain and Mabel talked while they skipped rocks. They talked about their past and Rain told Mabel how he lost his mom. This surprised Rain since Mabel was the first kid he ever told about his mom's passing. Mabel was surprisingly sympathetic towards Rain and said she knew what he was going through. The human then told Rain about the loss of her parents and then told him about being trapped in the virtual world of Gravity Falls. It was a little over Rain's head, but he did understand what Mabel must being going through.

"You still miss them?" Asked Rain.

"I do everyday." Said Mabel.

Rain looked at the red ring on his finger and then looked at Mabel.

"I have a hypothetic question for you." Said Rain.

"What is it?" Asked Mabel.

"Let's say...there's a way you could bring back someone you lost, but to do that you had to do something bad that would hurt a lot of people. Would you do it?" Said Rain.

"Hmm...you know maybe a few months ago, I might have considered that, but now I wouldn't." Said Mabel.

"Whys that?" Asked Rain.

"Because...it would be selfish and wrong. If I brought my parents back doing something like that and I told them, they would be angry and ashamed of me, not to mention a whole lot people would be made at me and no longer trust me. My parents raised me to be kind and caring and if I did something extremely selfish that would just spit into the face of everything they taught me and I refuse to do that and dishonor them." Said Mabel.

"That...was incredible. I have to admit that's very deep and responsible." Said Rain.

"Thanks. I'm kind of glad you asked me that. I really feel confident saying it out loud." Said Mabel as she hugged Rain.

"Your welcome." Said Rain as he blushed a little.

Mabel stopped hugging and started heading towards the Ice Kingdom, Rain told her he had to do something first and then he would catch up with her. The human just shrugged her shoulders and walked off. Rain removed the red ring from his finger and glared at it.

"The deal is off. You can keep your dark magic Crimson. I'm not going to be your spy." Said Rain before he tossed the ring into the lake.

Rain walked off, but as soon as he was gone a magical force lifted the ring out of the water and carried it to shore. Gideon stepped out from behind a tree and held the ring in his hand. The boy had followed Mabel and Rain from the palace. At first Gideon was outraged by Mabel and Rain hanging with each other and it took all of Gideon's self control to keep himself from lashing out at Rain with his gravity powers. Gideon didn't want to reveal he had magical powers and get Dipper and Simon to come down on him, but now he had a different plan in mind. The evil boy planned to use the ring against Rain and expose him. It was a simple plan that just needed the right timing. Once Mabel learned about Rain's connection to Crimson, she would be broken hearted and need a shoulder to cry. Gideon would then swoop in and comfort her, being her knight in shining armor.

"You will be mine Mabel." Chuckled Gideon as he pocketed the ring.

Miles away at the Candy Kingdom, Bubblegum was sitting in the courtyard having coffee with Patience and Slime Princess. Braco had gone out to take Neddy to a park accompanied by Lemongrab, Cookie, and Stormo. Bubblegum had worried about her family's safety so, she sent Bear Claw, Rocky, Cotton, and a dozen gingerbread guards with them to protect them. In the present, Slime Princess was telling Bubblegum about the training, she went through to prepare for the duel with her sister. Bubblegum became interested in the whole speaking to your past lives and asked Patience to help her talk to her own past life. Patience agreed and pulled out the piece of paper with the X on it and Bubblegum stared at it and went into a trance.

Bubblegum found herself standing on a giant peppermint with a pink human with dark chocolate colored hair and mustache, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans standing before her.

"Your...my past life. Your name...was...Eric." Said Bubblegum.

"That's right. It's finally nice to speak with you Bubblegum." Said Eric.

"Patience is the one who brought me here." Said Bubblegum.

"I know. Glad to see Patience is ok. That plan she came up with about freezing herself was crazy, but it actually worked. Patience was always a bit of a mad genius." Said Eric.

"She is and I like that about her." Said Bubblegum.

"Since your here, I guess I better pass on some cosmic wisdom. You messed up your relationship with Phoebe the Fire Elemental and her kingdom souring up your relationship and image with others. Things are heating up and war can happen. You must prevent war from happening, because if it does it'll be catastrophic. I was killed by the actions of the war that wrecked and ravaged the Earth in the past and another world could wreck the world completely beyond repair. You should also try and mend and strengthen your relationship with the other Elementals. They may not fully forgive you, but the four of you need to be in harmony with each other to help keep the world and your lives in balance." Said Eric.

"Alright understood. I'll do it." Said Bubblegum.

Eric nodded his head and Bubblegum found herself back in the courtyard with Patience and Slime Princess.

"How was it?" Asked Slime Princess.

"Very enlightening. I feel wiser." Said Bubblegum.

The three of them sat about drinking coffee and having small talk enjoying each other's company.

Meanwhile at a playground outside the Candy Kingdom, Braco and his little group had arrived and by coincidence, so did Betty, Eria, and Marceline. Eria and Neddy were excited to see each other and went to go play on the playground with some other children. Stormo sat down to rest as some curious children climbed on him along with Neddy and Eria. The Candy Sphinx didn't seem to mind. Braco gave Lemongrab and Cookie some baseball gloves and they played a little catch, while Braco talked to Betty about how life was going. Marceline pulled out her guitar and played a little tune for the children. A few hours later the sun began to set. Stormo laid on the ground with Neddy and Eria leaning against him, both of them sleeping as they sat by each other. Braco picked up his sleeping son and Betty picked up her sleeping daughter. The two parents said goodbye as they headed towards their kingdoms. Marceline said goodbye to Betty and headed to her home.

And thus the peaceful day ended.

To be continued.
