Meanwhile, back in Ice King's lair.
He was already sleeping, having been tired from traveling as he watched the timeline of Marceline. His sleep would usually be undisturbed and restful, the comfort of his ice bed covered in fur was heaven to him,
But not this time.
Ice King's eyes slowly opened, he had no idea how he was awakened. His eyes opened wider, he expected to see the blue background of his lair but instead... he awakened to a man in a suit.
It was Simon.
Ice King quickly bolted up and stared in confusion and awe, he had no idea why he was standing there. Simon seemed to glow bright, Ice King had no idea why.
He started to speak, his words were plain simple. "Thank you..." He said softly in a voice that seemed to echo, Ice King realized why he was there and he slowly nodded.
"You're welcome" Ice King replied warmly. Simon smiled at him and he waved his hand, he started to glow brighter until it consumed him. The glow slowly subsided to reveal nothing. He was gone.
Ice King blinked, he was dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of his past self. "Woah..." He commented, he then sat down on his bed and contemplated. It was strange, Simon's appearance made him seem to know who he was.
Gunter's head popped out with a frowned face, he let out his kind of quack. Ice King's face became astonished, he seemed to be affected of what the penguin said. "I was talking to myself!?" He exclaimed, that seemed so strange, he knew that Simon was just right in front of him awhile ago.
Ice King's face started to form until his face seemed to show happiness. "Go back to sleep Gunter, daddy's just had a dream" He explained, Gunter nodded and he got out of sight.
Ice King then lied down again on his bed and smiled, the encounter was touching to him.
His eyes became dreamy and he started to slowly drift to sleep.
"Always there..." He whispered, before closing his eyes and returning to slumber.
