[ Birds chirping ]

Looks chilly.

Hup!

Whoa.

Step carefully, Betty.

These rocks are slippery fellas.

Yah!

Haha, what?

Water's not too cold.

And now I definitely won't slip.

Oh!

[ Gasps ] Dr. Petrikov!

[ Gasps ]

Well, I've been meaning to
test my waterproof gear.

[ Both laugh ]

We've been walking for miles,

but I've seen no sign
of the Ice Kingdom.

And no sign of where
to look for a crown.

Hey, at least we haven't
seen any vampires here.

Oh, great, we left monsterworld
and ended up in crapworld.

♪♪

Can you use any of this
stuff to fix the remote?

No. This thing is dead.

Unless we can get a
jump, we're stuck here.

I could have taken that crown.

It's all your fault.

Yeah, it's my fault
you're not dead.

Nyeh!

I'm gonna go stretch my legs.

Be careful.

You don't know what's out there!

[ Scarab grumbling ]

This is a mistake!

I need to be out there looking
for that rogue universe.

Orbo: Hey, Scrabby.

Orbo.

You're up, mate.

So much for art.

You did the right thing.

I just didn't want
to see her hurt.

I saved Marceline by
putting on the crown.

But it could have
easily backfired.

And in the long
run, I did hurt her.

Was there another
way to save her?

Well, I don't know.

Oh.

On the plus side, I did get
to live a thousand years

and meet the Fionna and Cake.

Aw, you weren't
trying to find us.

You were trying to call
your magic space girlfriend.

Right.

She wasn't always an
indecipherable goddess of chaos.

She was human once.

The most amazing
human I've ever met.

They still treat me
like a house cat.

But I'm capable!

And she could make the
best soft-boiled egg.

Not runny, but perfectly jammy.

I can understand why you wanted
to see her again so badly.

Ah, sorry.

Nothing's more pathetic
than an old man

rhapsodizing about young love.

Aw, no! I'm a sucker
for a good love story.

Betty and I first
met at the library...

when we both reached
for the same book.

You're right, it's boring.

Ha, just kidding.

And although I
wasn't able to locate

the actual Armor of Zeldron,

the Wand of Dispersement,

or the freaky porcelain lamb,

I believe they're
still out there,

waiting to be found.

Thank you.

I touched his hand
in the library once.

Dr. Petrikov, you
can't actually believe

that these objects exist.

I do.

We just need sufficient
imagination to seek them.

What are you gonna look
for next, magic beans?

[ Laughter ]

Babette!

In a manner of speaking, yes.

Much like the Jack of legend,

I'm attempting an arduous
journey into the unknown...

an expedition to
find the Enchiridion.

Man: Here it is.

Excuse me, Dr. Petrikov?

Oh, library girl.

Oh, you... you remembered.

It's Betty. Betty Grof.

Um, I was wondering if
you could sign my book.

You've read my work?

Oh, yes. I was fascinated by the
runes on this vase you found.

Perhaps the designs could
actually be pictographs.

A clue on how to find
the selkie's cove.

Hm!

You know, I never
thought of that.

I wish I had run
into you sooner.

Haha, maybe you should come on
this next expedition with me.

I was going to leave next week

on a six-month trip to study
petroglyphs in Australia.

But going on an expedition
to find an ancient artifact

with the Simon Petrikov,

that is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity!

So yes. I'll go with you!

Okay!

Okay!

Wow, you'd just
met and she dropped

everything to go with you?

Cake: Aaaaaaaahh!

Cake!

Aaaaah!

Hold on!

[ Hisses ]

Cake! Rowr!

Are you okay? Leggo!

There's something back there.

It surprised me and I whacked
it into a corner all by myself!

♪♪

[ Both yelp ]

Apologies, cat.

I goosed you in
the spirit of fun.

A robot!

[ Pants ]

BMO!

Yes.

Now, old man, prepare
for your goosing.

Oh!

BMO, where is everybody?

They're around.

Except for Football.

I haven't seen her in forever.

Does this world
have a magic crown?

It would grant the wearer
miraculous ice powers.

Oh, yeah, the Ice King.

He lives in the Ice Kingdom.

The Ice Kingdom?

But where's the ice?

Oh, yeah.

That's weird.

Ignoring our calls.

Giving yourself missions.

Pursuing your own monomanias.

I'll tell ya, you're really
whiffing that ball lately.

Orbo, if I could
just have more time.

Pshhh.

I'm onto something
really important!

Listen, just be cool.

Prismo has made his own
secret unauthorized universe.

Prismo?

Nah, that guy's cool.

He wouldn't do that.

I can get proof!

I don't care.

Leave it, Scrabby.

Orbo...

Hey, hey, watch that tone, mate.

I'm still your boss.

Hmm. You're my boss,
but you're not the boss.

Why don't I give them a call?

Just be cool!

And then Jake broke the wind
into a thousand cheesy pieces!

[ Laughter ]

Hey! That's my
friend Jerry's place!

Jerry's cool and tall
and makes funny jokes.

[ Laughs ] I love
this little box.

Yeah, he's so cute.

Hmf.

Wait up, BMO!

You have any other stories
about the "dog" me?

Boy howdy, do I.

So...

you never finished telling
your great love story.

It's probably for the best.

Please.

Simon: [ Chuckles ]

You really thought
you could dig a hole

all the way down to the devil?

And I would've gotten there too

if a dang water pipe
didn't get in my way!

[ Hissing ] Wait!

♪♪

There are snakes in the area.

Horned vipers, if
I'm not mistaken.

I know we should be careful,
but it's getting dark soon.

I can clear the path using
a trick my mom taught me.

Bup-bup-bup!

The rod is slow but dependable.

[ Shouting gibberish ] Betty!

Huh.

She sounds badass.

BMO: Oh, honeys, we're home!

Do you think he passed away?

Hey! I found some dirty tapes!

Maybe it's a clue.

Ooh! Butt stuff!

[ Static ] [ Laughs ]

You hear that, Gunter?

I put the crown
inside my kickdrum.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

And action.

[ Imitates foghorn ]

Every night I hear
that blasted foghorn

moaning like a... Wenk.

You're ruining my vision!

[ Crying ]

Wait...

That's what he was
like with the crown?

I guess.

Mm.

Any luck?

Our only hope is
fixing the remote.

A remote?! Show BMO! Show BMO!

Show BMO!

Hm, I know someone
who can fix it!

My friend Princess Bubblegum.

[ Gasps ] Yes!

We can zap to another reality!

Then it's next stop, crown town!

Let's hit the road!

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Imitates whinny ]

♪♪

Are you okay?

I feel kinda weird.

And blah.

I didn't get to tell
you what happened after

Betty and I got
back from the trip.

Did you find the Enchiridion?

[ Clamoring ]

I guess word got out.

Ready?

I-I'm gonna hang back. What?

This is your moment.

But I wouldn't have found
it without your help.

And besides that, you're...

you're... Yes?

Indispensable.

I mean, any expedition
would be lucky to have you.

Ha, yeah, yeah...

Goodbye, Petrikov.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

♪♪

This story is sad.

No, no, don't worry.

You haven't heard
the best part...

yet.

All of this is actual candy?

This is, like, one of
my top three fantasies.

Ta-da!

Come in, come in.

Cool lab, BMO, but
where's the Princess?

She's just changing.
I will help her!

There you are.

Help me zip up my bra.

Yes, milady!

Pardon my late
arrival, dear peasants.

One is simply helpless
without good help around.

[ Chuckles ]

I don't get it, BMO.

I am the beautiful and
brilliant Princess Bubblegum.

Great! I'm gonna
go eat chocolate.

Cake, no! I'm gonna!

Allow me to... hupp! Explain.

[ Clears throat ] One day,
everyone was a skeleton.

Then Jerry came!

Now to business.

Hey.

Hmm.

This is beyond even
my ability to fix.

But BMO said...

BMO was wrong!

So was Fionna!

Ugh!

We blew it! We blew
it! [ Grumbling ]

My office supplies!

[ Crying ]

Fionna, i-it's okay.

Simon, I'm so stupid.

I'm sorry!

Why did I think I could do this?

[ Crying ]

So that was that.

Betty and I went
our separate ways,

back to our own lives.

[ Sniffles ]

But I couldn't stop
thinking about her.

Why didn't you just call her?

I thought it was better
to keep it professional.

A couple weeks later,

I saw the book she checked
out back at the library.

Oh.

"Dear Dr. Petrikov,

It's Betty.

I just had to warn you,

this book is terrible."

[ Chuckles ]

"It's written as if
the author was aiming

for an audience of one...

his own ass." [ Laughs ]

Quiet! Sorry.

"Actually...

Betty: What I really
want to say is

I've admired your
research for years.

But during our expedition,

I came to admire you
as a person, too.

You're not only
brilliant and dedicated,

but you're charming and
fun and kind-hearted.

I've been replaying every
moment we've shared together.

And I think we had
something special.

I'll go do my own things,

but I kinda wish I could be
by your side all the time

and travel the world together.

Yeah.

Love, Betty.

Y.C.P. .

[ Mumbles ]

Betty!

Aah!

Sorry!

Can I speak to Betty?

Betty just left.

She's finally going on that
research trip to the outback.

What?!

You can probably still
catch her at the bus stop.

Betty!

Don't make her miss that bus!

Betty! Betty!

Petrikov...

I, uh... I found your note.

Yeah?

You should be more careful
with what you put in letters.

And where you put them.

Oh.

I'm sorry. It was
a stupid note.

I was... I was in a
weird mood or something.

Let's just forget about it.

Did you really mean
that stuff about...

That's my bus.

I...

Goodbye.

Petrikov...

Betty, your note wasn't stupid.

It was incredible.

I want you...

by my side.

♪♪

Oh, Petrikov!

But you really have to
stop calling me Petrikov.

Okay.

Simon.

Damn, that's romantic.

Yeah.

So you got on the bus with her?

Yep. What? No.
No, why would I...

The power of love
is so powerful!

Princess!

What if you used my robot heart

to jump-start this
broken piece of trash?

[ Gasps ]

Hmm, theoretically
that could work,

but it would take the
bravest little heart

the world has ever known.

Behold my naked innards!

And the heart of a hero!

Could this really work?

Don't worry, Finn. I have
never failed anything!

Initiating.

Mm.

Mm-hmm. I can feel it working!

Yes! Feels great!

[ Laughs ] It's working!

Whoops.

BMO!

We can put him back
the way he was, right?

[ Crying ]

BMO chose to make the
ultimate sacrifice

for people he barely knew.

It didn't work, but that
made it no less noble.

Lich: Cease.

You can't see the boss.

But you can make
your case to me.

[ Clears throat ]

Prismo has let things slide.

Small things, at first.

A bad wish here, an
embarrassing fanfic there,

and we enabled it.

He's a "cool dude" so we
overlook his failings.

But there is nothing
more dangerous

than cheerful mediocrity.

Look, I'm not Prismo.

I respect your authority.

But it is my deepest hope

that you will simply
let me finish my job.

Nice speech.

Say goodbye to your legs.

Ah, nuts. It's the boss.

So you have risen again.

rewarded your insolence

with death a thousand fold.

He seems really depressed.

Jerry's freakin' terrifying!

He's called the Lich.

He must have succeeded
in k*lling all life here.

But if there's no
life in this world,

there's no way
for us to survive.

sh**t, I was hoping we
wouldn't have to do this.

Whaaaaaaaat?!

You had the crown
this whole time?

No! Just since the
Ice King place!

Simon, you can't change
into that super sad guy!

There's got to be another way.

Something.

[ Growls, hisses ]

Ah! Wait! Listen!

Once Simon puts on the crown,
our world will change too!

You hate everything
in that city!

Not everything.

[ Both groaning ]

And it could change us!

Fionna, you're all
gonna die otherwise.

Everybody dies!

Shouldn't they get
to die as themselves?

Fionna, I am
myself... like this.

I don't want to curse anyone.
