Fionna, why aren't
you texting me back?

You're supposed to
help me shop today.

Simon!

[ All gasp ] Come here!

[ Laughs ] Worry not, friends.

You're safe now.

Ah!

The rascal is frozen inside
my inescapable magic ice.

Ha ha!

You?

You. Blue blazes!

You're a Simon.

In this world, I'm known
as the Winter King.

[ Shimmering ]

[ Creak! ]

Yoink. Whoa! Whoa!

Aah! Cake: Okay, let's go!

[ Cake screeches ]

[ Grumbles ]

Cake didn't mean any harm.

A cat named cake?
Ha ha! Outrageous!

And what is your
name, fair lady?

I'm Fionna.

Fionna.

Uh, the reason we need this
crown is to transform Simon.

Our world depends on
him becoming cursed

and magical again.

Is this true, fellow Petrikov?

Yeah. I need to
get my powers back.

I understand your plight.

While you can't take my crown,
I believe I can find a solution.

This is going to sound nuts,

but I think I've been
dreaming about you.

Ha ha! I wouldn't
be at all surprised.

I'm radical.

[ Giggles ]

Simon: This is
your throne room?

Do you like it?

It's encased entirely in a
beautiful dome of clear ice.

[ Shuddering ]
Yeah, I can tell.

[ Shudders ] Ice Scouts!

Some hot chocolate?

Yes, your grace.
Yes, your grace.

Ooh! Ooh!

Lemme ask you something.

Is it about the chocolate?

How are you so... functional

if you're just
another cursed Simon?

How have you done all this?

Oh, dear sweet Simon.

Allow me to share that wisdom.

If I may.

Uh... Wait.

If you tinker with
the original curse,

will I still be able to
fight in the new version?

Hmm.

Yes! Ha ha! I make

Man, I suck.

[Cellphone chimes] It's Gary.

"Hey, where did you go?
Seriously, where are you?

Are you dead? Ha ha.

Fionna, you're supposed
to help me shop today.

Aah! A random man took a
shower in your apartment.

Are you okay?"

I'm starting to freak now.

Okay, just chill out.

Fionna does random,
flighty stuff all the time.

She's probably okay.

"I'm ok!"

Okay, but that doesn't
let you off the hook.

probably Marshall Lee."

See? I was right.

I'm so glad she's okay.

But I can't believe she's
flaking out on me again!

[ Grunts ]

Where you goin'?

I need to run a ton of
errands and work on my baking.

Did you make those
little biscuit guys

Fionna was carrying around?

Yo, those were
hella good. Thanks.

Is there food where
you're heading?

Uh, yeah, probably. Cool.

I'm starving. Um...

Have you heard of
this place called Joy?

Bring me back something.

Simon: Uh, are you sure
it's not too much trouble?

You just relax, Simon.

It will take just one week

to make a duplicate
crown in my laboratory.

A week?! Psst! Don't be rude.

In the meantime, please
feel free to partake

in the pleasures of
the Winter Kingdom.

Fionna, let's check
that place out.

Cake: It looks gnarly as hell.

No, no.

That place is forbidden.

I mean, it can be
dangerous out there.

Would you help me
in the laboratory?

Ice Scouts: Fionna! Fionna!

Come and join us in
our training session!

I'll be right down. Stay
here so you don't get lost.

Lost? Pssh!

We wouldn't be going on
any of these adventures

if I hadn't gotten "lost."

[ Bass playing ]

Cat. Aah!

Get out of my head!

Wait. Can you hurt
me from in there?

You two are
abominations, a disease.

I'll break free of this prison,

Hey. I'm here to
pick up my order.

This place has the
absolute best cocoa powder.

It's so rich, you can't try
even a grain of it unadulterated

without going mad!

Try it.

Whew! This must be why your
biscuits boys are so special.

I call them, uh, pastrymenschen.

I've been working on the
prototypes for a long time.

I have a -step business plan,

and getting the
recipe right is key.

Hey, all I want is more
of these pastry people.

What's it gonna take
to make that happen?

Well, I need my own bakery,
where I can make what I want,

so that means cash, mostly.

There's a couple of investors
in town I really want to meet.

They're called the Lemoncarbs.

They're these rich twins
behind a food empire.

One meeting with them
could change my life.

Oh, yeah, I think I heard my
mom talking about them before

or something.

I-I'm sorry. I'm
probably boring you.

No, no. I-I think it's cool.

I mean, you're
just so passionate.

It's just...
impressive... to me.

Thank you.

Thank you again for the suit.
Nonsense. You looked ugly.

Oh, my!

[ Whistles ]

Careful.

Commence duplication. [ Zaps ]

I have so many questions.

Is there a Betty in this world?

Betty? Betty...

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Laughs ] The dead one!

Yeah, I haven't thought
about her in a long time.

But how could you say that?

She was the great
love of our life.

Hmm. Well, that's not
how I remember it.

Well, once you get
this new crown,

you can always use it
to make an Ice Betty.

Ha ha! I'm just kidding.

Uh, that would be unethical.

Winter King cast a spell

Yeah. He zapped it right
into my brain-basket.

What a wad.

Yes.

And he kept doing that.

Yeah. For a hundred years!

Yeah. I'm trying
not to dwell on it.

I apologize for the terrible
behavior of my fellow Simon.

But I do feel kinda vindicated.

There is much work to be done.

Where are my beloved
candy citizens?

It's probably good

I would have fiddled with
that pastry recipe forever

So, where does a
chocolate-dipped strawberry

go to meet a cupcake, anyway?

Ah, come on. Don't
