AN: This chapter revolves around PB. This also takes place an hour before Chapter Twelve.

This is the shortest chapter by the way.

Awhile ago in The Candy Castle.

Princess Bubblegum sat on her bed as she yawned and stretched. She was still in her pajamas and her sleep mask still covered her eyes. After gathering enough strength, She started to take off her sleep mask and got up to her closet.

"Gee, that ball sure was a blast... I wonder what happened to Ice King, he blacked out so suddenly... I hope he's alright..." Princess Bubblegum thought, she had no idea why she felt concern for Ice King. She started to realize her thought and resisted thinking, the very thought of young-looking Ice King made her heart beat faster. "Bonnibel... stop it" She alarmed herself realizing that she was sinking in again.

After getting off the thoughts. Princess Bubblegum then took her casual royalty dress and set it down on her bed, she then went to her bathroom to get herself freshened up. She then took a toothbrush and smothered toothpaste on it and started to brush her teeth. Princess Bubblegum then finished up and went back to her bedroom to dress up and groom, after grooming she took her crown and placed it on her head.

After getting herself dressed up and ready, she finally finished her morning routine.

She went to her bedroom door and opened it up, she expected to be greeted by Peppermint Butler but she was approached by someone else. It was a cloaked man, his beard and mouth shined through the darkness of his face, Princess Bubblegum regularly received visitors from time to time but not in front of her main bedroom door.

"Excuse me but-" Princess Bubblegum was interrupted.

"You know you want him" The cloaked man said abruptly in his dark raspy voice, Princess Bubblegum's eyes widened, she was astonished. "I have a proposal to make" The cloaked man continued, Princess Bubblegum raised an eyebrow. She was a bit lost, her subconscious thought wanted her to listen to him, but for what?.

The cloaked man then gave her a folded piece of paper, Princess Bubblegum gave it a small glance and took it. "You have a choice..." He quietly said as he looked back, he quickly cloaked in invisibility and went off unseen. Two patrolling banana guards then walked by and saw Princess Bubblegum,

"Hail, your majesty!" They greeted, Princess Bubblegum simply gave them a small wave of her hand and they continued patrolling after her response.

She then went back to her bedroom and quickly sat on her bed to read the paper. She didn't know why she was so eager to read the paper, she thought that maybe curiosity got the best of herself.

Princess Bubblegum slowly opened the paper and read the words written in black ink: "I know things you don't know, he has little feelings for you now but there is still hope. When the moon shines tonight, recite the spell written before sleeping and think about him. His dream will become your command, make him open his eyes..." Princess Bubblegum looked down to the bottom of the letter and saw a group of words written down: " Mandarya suslu handiaika" Princess Bubblegum had knowledge of this kind of language, the words were of an ancient forgotten civilization that were thought to have ascended to the sky.

"Strange..." Princess Bubblegum thought. She had thoughts that the cloaked man was of the forgotten civilization. After contemplating, she then went back to the actual instructions, she didn't know if she wanted to follow them, she had this train of thoughts at the moment. "Should I?.." She thought, she looked down on the floor as she contemplated once again. Princess Bubblegum had thoughts of resistance but she would sometimes slip off to actually wanting to do it, she came to a decision. "I guess it couldn't hurt to see how he's change..." She thought, she slowly nodded her head at the decision, there was then a knock on the door.

"Madame! Finn and Jake have come to visit early today!" Peppermint Butler said through the door. Princess Bubblegum quickly placed the paper under her pillow.

"Okay! Tell them I'll be there!" Princess Bubblegum answered. She gave the hiding spot of the paper a glance, she was suddenly so interested to actual have a personal talk with the new Ice King... away from Marceline.

AN: Ok, I'll stop with them ellipsis endings. Lemon is not guaranteed anymore, sorry about the plan change. Ah... yes, I'm working on this story again and I'm currently in a project to revise and proofread the whole story, so please, just wait, this will take time. Digging some skeletons in my closet, you see.
