ICE KINGIve been working on this one for awhile. Its a rock opera. Everysong is about a princess who brokemy heart. And it can even beconsidered a good thing, because ithelps me express my emotions andshows the depth of my soul...

He starts thrashing on the drums. It sounds awful. Finn andJake turn away from it.

ICE KING (CONTD)(singing)

Hot Dog Princess! You are my HotDog Princess! With your Hot DogPrincess eyes and your Hot DogPrincess smile, why dont you comeby my evil lair for a while?

This continues in the background.

JAKEFinn, at first I thought theproblem with hangin out with IceKing was that he was still evil.Now I realize the problem: hes notstill evil. Hes just boring!

JAKENot with him like this we arent.Now were just babysitters to aweird old man. To truly beadventurers, we need Ice King to bethe Ice King again.

FINNI dont know, man...

JAKEDarnit Finn, either he startskidnapping princesses again, or wehave to keep dealing with this.

He turns Finns head around to show Ice King, playing drumsslower, and near tears.

ICE KING(singing)

FINNFine. I know what we must do.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUMYeah, Id just be all there for thetaking, and there would be nothingI could do about it. That would beawful. Just the worst.

She gets up.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM(CONTD)Im going to go water my plants insuch a way that I wouldnt be ableto see anyone sneak up on me.

She walks to her plants, which are surrounded by metal bars.

PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM (CONTD)They seem to be surrounded by metalbars. It feels strange yetfamiliar to me.

Finn turns to Jake and asks him quietly.

FINNYou think hell take the bait?

They turn around. Neither Ice King nor Princess Bubblegumare there.

JAKEIf I had to guess...maybe.

INT. ICE KINGS LAIR - LATER

Princess Bubblegum is indeed caged in Ice Kings lair. Jakeleaps in, with Finn riding on his back.

FINNLet her go, Ice King!

ICE KINGIts going to take more than that!
