Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.

(Author Note: To all of you wondering about Betty's death, don't worry I will bring her back to life in a future chapter. Also I will be bring in the other Adventure Time characters into the story soon.)

In the month that followed Betty's death Simon and Marceline had tried to continue their lives, though they had sunken a little into despair. Simon seemed ok, but there was a sadness in his eyes. Marceline was taking it worse. The loss of a second mother figure was just too much and she wanted to get away from it all.

So one day Marceline decided that she would leave the mountain and explore the world. She approached Simon in the living room.

"Um...Simon can I ask you something?" Asked Marecline.

"What is it Marcy?" Asked Simon.

"Well I was thinking of leaving the mountain and exploring the world. Kind of like a vacation." Said Marceline.

Simon scratched his chin.

"Sounds like a fun little adventure. I'll pack our bags." Said Simon as he stood up.

"I...was thinking it would just be me and Hambo." Said Marceline as she looked at the floor.

"Why?" Asked Simon.

"I...just want to be alone and faraway from here. I'm just so confused! Why did my mom or Betty have to die?! They did nothing wrong!" Cried Marceline as she broke down into tears.

Simon wrapped his arms around Marceline and hugged her.

"It's ok. I know you miss them. I don't understand why they had to die either and I understand why your upset and confused. These things...just happen." Said Simon as he looked at Marceline. "If you want to leave the mountain and be alone for a while, I understand. You just need to work things out and your almost old enough to make your own decisions. You have my permission to leave."

A couple of hours later a backpack was packed up. Marceline looked around her room before heading to the plateau to say goodbye to her mom and Betty.

"Hey mom. Hey Betty. Just came...to tell you I'm going away a little bit. I'll miss you." Said Marceline as a tear fell from her eye.

Marceline headed back to the mountain and met up with Simon, who was holding a backpack.

"You're packed and ready to go." Said Simon as he handed her the backpack.

"Thanks Simon." Said Marceline as she took the backpack.

"Marceline be careful. I just want you to know that you will always have a home and people who love you." Simon.

"Thank you Simon. I love you." Said Marceline as she hugged Simon.

"I love you too Marceline." Said Simon as he hugged Marceline.

The two of them stopped hugging and Marceline turned and began walking away.

"I'll come back soon!" Called Marceline.

"Stay safe!" Called Simon as he watched Marceline walk farther and farther away.

Simon looked up at the sky.

"Betty. Ms. Abadeer. I have this feeling that you're up there somewhere watching everything. I ask that you watch over Marceline on her travels. I pray that no harm comes to her and that she returns safely." Said Simon as he continued to look at the sky for a little longer and then he headed back to the mountain.

Little did Simon know Betty and Linda were well aware of what was going on and had gone to see Death to ask for permission to go to Earth and watch over Marceline. Death scratched his chin as he thought about their request.

"Very well I will allow you to look after Marceline on Earth. I will also allow Betty to visit Simon in his dreams." Said Death.

"Thank you." Said Linda and Betty.

"You're welcome." Said Death as he opened a portal to Earth.

The spirits of Linda and Betty went through the portal. The two of them located Marceline and floated next to her. Marceline could not see Linda and Betty. The two spirits were sad that they could not interact with Marceline, but they were happy to see her.

Marceline walked through the remains of a city, she didn't see any mutants, but she saw some creatures that looked like giant candies that had limbs and faces, and globs of green slime with faces. Marceline was shocked by these strange creatures, yet somehow she sensed that they weren't dangerous. Marceline continued on until nightfall and found a place to rest in an abandon building. She setup camp and fell to sleep. Betty and Linda hovered over her.

"Well I guess we can go visit Marceline in her dreams." Said Linda as she prepared to go into Marceline's mind.

"You go on ahead...I'm going to go visit Simon." Said Betty.

"I understand. I'll tell Marceline you said hi and that we're both watching over her." Said Linda.

"Thank you." Said Betty before she flew off.

"Good luck." Whispered Linda as she watched Betty fly off.

Linda turned to Marceline and entered her mind.

Marceline was dreaming that she was sitting underneath a tree playing a guitar.

"You've really improved." Said Linda as she appeared next to Marceline.

"Mom!" Exclaimed Marceline as she put down her guitar and threw her arms around her mother in a hug.

"I've missed you sweetie." Said Linda as she hugged her daughter.

"You've only appeared in my dreams on my birthday, but now your here. Have things changed?" Said Marceline as she stopped hugging Linda.

"Sorta of. I've asked Death if I could watch over and visit you more often and he agreed. And I'm not the only one watching over. Betty is to." Said Linda.

"Where is Betty?" Asked Marceline as she looked around.

"She visiting her husband, but I'm sure she'll come visit you soon." Said Linda.

"Ok." Said Marceline.

The mother and daughter hung out and took turns playing the guitar.

At the mountain Betty flew through the halls, until she reached the master bedroom and found Simon asleep.

"Hello my valiant King." Said Betty as she flew over and entered Simon's mind.

Simon was dreaming he was walking through a forest, he parted some bushes and found himself starring into the face of Betty.

"Betty?" Said Simon in shock.

"Simon." Said Betty as she leaned forward and passionately kissed Simon on the lips.

Simon returned the kiss and for the next few seconds everything was at peace. Finally they stopped kissing.

"Am I dreaming?" Asked Simon.

"You are, but my spirit has entered your dream." Explained Betty.

Betty explained the whole situation and that she and Linda would look after Marceline. Simon nodded and smile.

"Even in the afterlife, your still looking out for me and Marceline." Said Simon.

"The two of you are my family and I care very deeply for the both of you." Said Betty as she kissed Simon on the cheek.

"I miss you." Said Simon.

"I miss you too. Maybe one day will truly be reunited, but until then I want you to promise me to live and be happy. I need you to take care of Marceline, when she gets back." Said Betty.

"I promise." Said Simon.

"I knew you would." Said Betty.

The two of them laid on the ground looking at the sky as they held hands.

Eventually both Simon and Marceline woke up happier and with a new sense of life and purpose. Simon went about creating new creatures of ice and snow, while Marceline continued on with her little journey to see what was out there in the world, with her two spirit guardians right behind her.

One day Marceline was going through her supplies, when she came across a tiny container of French fries. There was a note.

"Marceline have a fry on me. Love Simon." Read Marceline with a smile.

Marceline put the container in her bag and continued on with her journey.

Elsewhere deep within the Nightosphere, Hunson Abadeer, was lost in thought. He had a desire to go visit Marceline and see how she was doing. The Lord of Evil checked his schedule and saw that he had nothing that need immediate attention, so he opened a portal to Earth and went through it. Hunson sensed that Marceline was in a nearby city. Hunson flew to the city and tracked Marceline to a nearby dinner.

Hunson entered the diner through the front door making it squeak loudly. Marceline, who was eating a snack in a booth looked up startled to see her father.

"Daddy?" Said Marceline as she stood up and walked towards Hunson.

"Hello Marceline." Said Hunson with a grin as he stepped forward and hugged, his daughter.

Hunson took notice of the spirits of Linda and Betty. He was slightly shock to see them.

"So Marcy why don't you tell daddy, what's been going on in your life." Said Hunson

"Ok." Said Marceline as she began to tell Hunson all that had happened.

Hunson was intrigued by the tale, he had to admit that Simon and Betty were good guardians and that they did a good job of protecting and raising Marceline.

"Daddy, how come you never visited me, until now?" Asked Marceline.

"Well sweetie daddies busy running the Nighosphere. It's a big job." Said Hunson.

"Oh." Said Marceline.

"You know you can visited me whenever you. Here I'll show you how to get there." Said Hunson as he snapped his fingers.

A piece of chalk and a carton of bug milk appeared in Hunson's hands. Hunson drew a picture of a smily face on the wall. Then he doused the picture in bug milk.

"Maloso vobiscum et cum spiritum!" Chanted Hunson.

A red glowing portal appeared in the wall leading to the Nightosphere.

"Whoa!" Said Marceline as she stared at the portal.

"And that's how you get to the Nightosphere." Said Hunson as he snapped his fingers and made the portal disappear.

Marceline and Hunson hung out for a little bit. Then Marceline stood up to use the bathroom. Hunson got hungry and decided to look to see what Marceline had to eat in her backpack. Hunson saw the container of fries and opened it.

"You can't eat those!" Objected Betty.

Hunson ignored her and began stuffing the fires into his mouth. Linda tried to get him to stop, but Hunson just ignored her and continued eating. Marceline walked in and saw Hunson eating the fries.

"Dad those were my fries and you ate them without asking!" Shouted Marceline angrily.

Hunson was slightly taken aback by Marceline's anger. He was pleased with this development, but yet he was confused. Marceline grabbed her bags and stormed out of the dinner with Betty behind her.

"What's with her?" Asked Hunson.

"You ate Marceline's food with out even asking permission and now she thinks you don't care for her." Explained Linda as she shot Hunson a glare.

"They were just fries." Complained Hunson defensively.

"That's not the point." Said Linda.

Before the conversation could move on, Hunson cellphone began to beep. Hunson picked it up and studied a message that scrolled across his screen.

"Never a dull moment in the Nightosphere. I have to get going. If Marceline what's to talk, she knows how to get there and she'll figure out where my palace is." Said Hunson as he conjured up another portal, stepped through it, and vanished.

"That husband of mine." Grumbled Linda as she flew out of the dinner and after Betty and Marceline.

In the weeks that followed it was Marceline's eighteenth birthday. Marceline had grown board with her adventure and decided that she would go back to her home in the mountain with Simon.

Marceline decided to spend the night in an old library. She was unpacking her things, when she had the feeling that she was being watched.

"You're an interesting one." Said a creepy voice.

Marceline spun around and saw a pair of red eyes watching her from the shadows.

"Whose there?" Demanded Marceline.

"I am just a servant. You look like someone, who would make a nice addition to the master's forces." Said the voice.

"Sorry creep not interested!" Called Marceline as she search her traveling bag for anything that could be used as a weapon. Marceline finally found a knife and confronted the owner of the voice.

But when Marceline looked around she saw no sign of the owner of the voice. Then Marceline felt something breath on the back of her neck.

"You have no choice, but to obey." Said the voice, right before something struck Marceline in the back of the head and she lost consciousness.

"The master will be pleased." Said the figure as he picked Marceline up and walked out of the library.

To be continued.
