XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chapter 3: Prisoners of Love

Mirabel and Sticks the Badger were sledding down hills with a crud, hand made sled constructed by the badger in the Ice Kingdom and laughing. It wasn't often that these two friends get to do fun stuff just the 2 of them, especially sense Sticks isn't exactly a magic lover like Mirabel, down right distrusts it in fact, which often creates friction between the 2. But today, no magic was involve, just good old fun in the snow as they go down a hill at high speed, smashing of the head of a Snow Golem sitting there, who promptly replaces it with a cat's head made of nearby snow and meows. As our duo goes up in the air and falls back down, the sled breaks.

Mirabel: Oh, no, our sled's broken! I know, i'll conjure up a new one! *Prepares to conjure a new sled but Stciks slaps her hands to make them stop sparking*

Sticks: Na ah sister, you promised there be no magic today, remember!?

Mirabel: Then how are wee suppose to continue sledding down snowy hills with no sled, hein?

Sticks: *Gathers broken pieces and ties them back together with some rope she brought* Here, good as new, now get back on while wee still have light.

Mirabel: *Doesn't look to sure...* Okay! *But Jumps back on anyway and they slide down another hill*

They slide past Iceclops who reaches for them but falls on his head in the snow

Sticks: Turn Right! * Both girls leen to the right to make it turn there to avoid hitting a mount of snow*

Mirabel: Turn left! Turn left! *They both leen to the left this time to try and avoid a horde of Penguins. but couldn't avoid all of them*

Mirabel: Penguins!

They fall through a tunnel with a few penguins now with them on the sled, and they pop out of the end of the tunnel, the penguins fall off and our duo soars through the air

Mirabel: Ha Ha!

Sticks: I'm a Tanuki! *They fist tap in midair*

Back on the ground

Ice King is shoveling snow into a wheelbarrow when Mirabel and Sticks come crashing down, creating a crater

Ice King: What?! *Approaches the crater* Who dares enter the Ice Kingdom?!

Mirabel: *Frowns* Oh Great, Ice King's here.

Ice King: And do you know why I'm here? Do you know what "Ice King" means?!

Sticks: *Frowns* Yeah, I know what "Ice King" means: The incarnation of everything that's evil about Magic!

Mirabel: Euuuuh, i wouldn't go so far as to say that, but yeah Ice King is evil and a magic user.

Ice King: It means I'm King of Ice! This is my domain! And you are violating Ice World law-trespassing!

Sticks: Your rules don't me scrap to us! Besides we're just trying to beat the heat.

Mirabel: Right! There's a big sleeping Lava Man that decided to take a nap in are front yard, and he refuses to leave.

Sticks: And wee tried everything to make him to, but nothing works: We asked him nicely, we yelled at him to leave, we tried using the water hose full blast on it...

Mirabel: ... I tried every spell that i knew to move him somewhere else...

Sticks: ... And they failed every time, which proves that i was right all along and that magic is just plain unreliable if it's not evil.

Mirabel: No its not, it just means...

Ice King: *Annoyed* I don't care! This is my kingdom. You girls can't just scoot about on my land willy-nilly. I've got rules here.

But Mirabel and Sticks were building a small snowman while he was talking and pretty much ignored him.

Ice King: *Flips out* What?! So you're just going to ignore what i say... That's it! Rise, monsters of snow, and go beat up Mirabel and Sticks! *Uses magic to bring out snow monsters*

Sticks: Uh oh *Takes out her boomerang*.

Mirabel: *Hands sparks with yellow gold magic*

Mirabel and Sticks fought the snow monsters with their weapons and won easily

Ice King: *Glares angrily* Ooh, you two are really gonna get it this time.

Mirabel: Heh heh, yeah.

Sticks: Yeah, right, sure.

Ice King then freezes them where they stand. He is later seen pushing them up a hill to his castle in his wheelbarrow.

Ice King: *Groans* I need a magic back. *Cracks his back and pulls out a plastic sandwich bag full of Trail mix, beginning to pick around in it* Ick...ooh, yogurt chip. *Eats yogurt chip and puts the bag back in his pocket* Tuck, tuck. *Begins to push the wheelbarrow again* Aww man.

In the Ice King's Castle, Ice King comes into a room with a jail cell in a room where Lumpy Space Princess, Hot Dog Princess, Emerald Princess, Ghost Princess, Slime Princess, Raggedy Princess and Wildberry Princess are held captive.

Ice King: I'm back home! Hello, ladies! *The princesses begin to mutter in panic*

Ice King: Now, now. I've brought you a Fairy, and a cute little baby Badger. *Tosses Mirabel and Sticks into the room, where they smash against the wall and are freed from the ice*

Wildberry Princess: Mirabel! Are you okay?

Mirabel: Huh, Wildberry Princess? Hot Dog Princess? W-what's goin' on?

Slime Princess: We're all prisoners, Mirabel.

Mirabel: Ice King!

Ice King: What?

Mirabel: Why are you keeping these girls prisoners, jerk?

Ice King: You don't understand! I collect princesses because I want to marry one.

Mirabel: Well, why'd you capture six of them if you just want to marry one?

Sticks: A better question would be why would anyone one of them want to marry you?

Ice King: I'm collecting them all first to be sure I make the right choice. You're both too young to understand, but marriage is a serious thing and lasts forever. You can't just rush into it, you know? *Glares Angrily at Sticks* and i'll let you know Badger that I'm prime Husband material. Unlike you who wouldn't make a suitable bride even for Gunter.

Mirabel: *Holds a pissed off Sticks back from trying to attack Ice King* Ice King, don't do this. Just let the girls go. They don't want to be here.

Ice King: Of course they do! I would have killed them already if they didn't want to be here. Right ladies? *Shoots ice lighting from his fingers* Zzhp Zzhp.

Princesses: Mm-hm.

Mirabel: *Sighs, then lets Sticks go* Don't worry, princesses. I pledge that Sticks and I will protect each and everyone of you and furthermore I see all of you happily married to whatever sweet thing y'all want to be married to!

Slime Princess: Yay!

Ice King: *Grumbles*

Mirabel: Alright! Now everyone stand back, i'm going to blow that cell door open. *Cracks her fingers before chanting*."Spirits of chaos that destroy by fire, *Hands begins to ignite* I summon you as a small sun to blow that door up''. *Raises her hands and a large golden fireball appeared between them*

Mirabel then throws the ball at Ice King, but when it hit the bars of the cell right in front of him, the ball dispelled and both the bars and Ice King are unaffected.

Mirabel: What the heck!

Sticks: Aw, nuts! He must have magic proofed the whole prison cell.

Mirabel: Darn it!

Ice King laughs and does a little dance

Ice King: Nice try, Girl! Princesses, did you see? Did you see the little witch fail?

Sticks: Don't worry, Mira. I'll break us out of here with my Tomahawk! Hah-hah! *Takes out a hand made Tomahawk from her belt*

Ice King: Oh, no you won't! *Freezes Sticks from the neck down*

Mirabel: Sticks!

Sticks: *Frozen with Tomahawk still in hand* I... I'm okay.

Mirabel: Ice King! You better either set us free or come in here and fight me 'cause otherwise I'm gonna flip out!

Mirabel fires several bolts of golden magic at the Ice King, but none made it through the bars.

Ice King: Oh, are you trying to hit me? Well, excuse me because I have to go potty in the bathroom. *Goes to the bathroom*

Mirabel: ICE KING!...

Sticks: Mira!

Mirabel: Huh? Sticks, you alright?

Sticks: I'm fine, witch girl. Calm down and tend to the princesses.

Mirabel: Oh my gosh. I'm sorry, princesses. Slime Princess, are you alright?

Slime Princess: He's held us here for weeks, questioning us about our favorite sports and quirky behavior. I've tried to tell him as little as possible.

Mirabel: I understand. And, Lumpy Space Princess, how do you fair?

Lumpy Space Princess: I'm bored, and I'm not having any fun.

Ice King: *Returning* What? Not having any fun? But last night I read you the story of ''Baby Whatsit and the Bottle Prince''."

"Lumpy Space Princess: That wasn't fun. That was lame.

Ice King: Other princesses, do you feel the same way?

The princesses mumble

Ice King: Well, here, watch. I'll show you. We'll have some fun. Fun's my middle name.

He goes to his electric piano and play a tune and hums along with it

Ice King: Here, now, Wildberry Princess. I need you to play this. *Puts the piano by the cell*

Wildberry Princess: I don't know how.

Ice King: Well, come here, I'll teach you. Put your hand through the bars, atta princess, and uh... *Guides Wildberry Princess' hand to play the tune*

Wildberry Princess: I don't think I can.

Ice King: Just play it like I showed you.

Mirabel: Stop it, Ice King! She doesn't know how to play.

Ice King: PLAY IT OR I'LL SQUISH YOU INTO JUICE!

Wildberry Princess

: Oh dear! *Plays the tune*

Ice King: Yeah, keep playing it. Now everyone pick up an instrument and play it. Oh, this is going to be so much fun!

Mirabel growls and Ice King goes to his drums and begins going into a drum solo out of key with the music the princesses are playing, Mirabe looks around

Sticks: What are you thinking, Mira?

Mirabel: I've almost devised a plan. I'm gonna let him drum till' I've finalized the details in my mind.

Sticks: Got it

Ice King continues to drum until he pushes the drums apart and laughs

Ice King: Oh, that was fun!

Mirabel: I never thought i'd say this, but it was pretty fun! Hey, you should get some more fun stuff IK.

Ice King: You're right! Good idea, Mirabel.

Mirabel: "Good idea," indeed.

Ice King: Mirabel actually said i'm fun. I hope they all think that to *Goes to another room*

Mirabel: Alright. I've got a plan on how to get out of here. First everyone needs to be dancing and laughing and saying fun stuff like "Whoopee"! Okay, when the Ice King comes back, everyone play it up, like we want him to come inside the jail and party with us and when he steps inside, I'm gonna zap the tar out of him with these... *Shoots golden lighting from her fingers* ...while you all take care of Sticks. Everyone on board with this?

The princesses mumble in agreement

Sticks: Sweet plan, Girl!

Lumpy Space Princess: It's like a pretty ok plan, but it like has a bump or 2 in it.

Mirabel: Hein? Like what LSP.

Lumpy Space Princess: Well, if we like say dumb things like "whoopee" he'll know we're faking it cause Nobody says ''Whoopee'' anymore, it's way to lame.

Mirabel: Oh, Good point Lumpy Space Princess. So what fun stuff should wee say instead?

Lumpy Space Princess: Well I'm gonna say something really fun like "Oh yeah, I'm having a fun time! Oh my gosh, havin' the best time I've ever had in my entire life!"

Ice King reenters the room with a board game

Ice King: Make way for the fun tray! Whoa, what's happening?

Everyone in the jail cell is partying

Ice King: What is this?

Mirabel: We're having fun! Whoopee!

Ice King: Because I left the room?

Sticks: Because they like it here. Because they like you. Because you're a really fun guy! 'I can't believe i'm telling all that to HIM of all people. *Deep Mental Breath*Ok swallow the bile Sticks, is all so wee can get the hell out of here'

Ice King:

I don't get this.

Mirabel: *whispering* He's not buying it.

Lumpy Space Princess: *whispering* that's because you said "whoopee" when i told it was to lame a word for him to by it. Dance harder, that will convince him.

They dance faster

Lumpy Space Princess: Come on in here and party.

Mirabel: Wanna dance with us, Ice King? Come on!

Ice King: Me? You want to dance with me?

Lumpy Space Princess: Oh yeah! Whoo! Woohoo!

Ice King: *Drops the board game* Wow! *Opens cell door and walks in* Yes! Yes! Whoopee!

Mirabel zaps him in the stock with a magic bolt and the princesses run out of the room carrying Sticks

Ice King: Wait, no! *Shoots ice lighting at Emerald Princess, but she avoids it* Don't leave! I'll kill you all! *Mirabel grabs him with a conjured golden chain to stop him from leaving and Ice King tries to break away from it* Why are you doing this? Everyone was finally warming up to me.

Mirabel: No Ice King! They were so not! You're way to nuts for anyone to ever warm up to you! And you know what, a part of me wants to help you but I don't know how! Probably because I'm just a simple Witch who can't even help her former family with their troubles. So maybe you should talk to someone with more life experience, like Sticks!

Sticks is being ice picked free by Hot Dog Princess and Wildberry Princess using her Tomahawk and Boomerang she lets them borrow.

Sticks: Hey, Hey, Hey, Mira, what are you doing? Don't dump the Ice King on me!

Mirabel: But you gotta get it in you're head, creep! Putting princesses in jail is wrong! *Ice King breaks out of the chain*

Ice King: Bah! Mirabel Madrigal, you just ruined my chances with 5 or 6 potential wives! For that you will... *Fires at Mirabel, but blocks it with a butterfly shield and zaps his beard* Ohh! Oh, my beard. *Mirabel zaps him again into a wall where his crown falls off and he loses consciousness*

Scene Change: World of Dreams

Ice King is is flying through space, naked and covered by his beard

Ice King: 'Why do people not like me? Is it because I'm a magic user, That badger Sticks does seems to hate me for it, or is my beard that's to shaggy? *Sighs*I try so hard to be a good husband for girls. What's wrong with me?'

The Cosmic Owl Suddenly appears

Cosmic Owl: Hoo. You're a sociopath.

Ice King: Who are you? *Laughs* I know. You're probably a-a big nerd! Why don't you try being cool like me?*Flies away laughing when he regains consciousness and is being tickled by penguins*Star dust is so ticklish! *Laughs until he opens his eyes*What happened? Princesses? Ohhh...

Outside in the Ice Kingdom

Mirabel, Transformed into a giant golden butterfly, is carrying Sticks and the princesses on her back, everyone is cheering happily

Slime Princess: *Crawls closer to her head* Thank you, Mirabel.

Mirabel: You're welcome, Slime Princess! Now how about i take us to the tree fort and wee can all have dinner together before i return all the princesses home, what do you say?

The princesses cheered at the idea and Sticks was more then fine with extra guests at the table, Amy makes way to much food in general, even for the 6 of them, and that leaves them with so many left overs they spoil before they have a chance to eat it all. With 7 extras for dinner, then maybe this time they can give their fridge a break.
