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

In the months that followed the little group was more careful, whenever they went into nearby cities for supplies. Things were tough sometimes, but Simon would always think of something to bring a small smile to Marceline and Betty's faces.

As time went by they bonded more and learned some new skills. Simon figured out that his crown gave him the ability to fly and he would sometimes take Marceline and Betty on short little flights, which they both enjoyed. Betty taught Marceline had to sew, so she could repair Hambo, whenever he got ripped. Marceline enjoyed her time with Simon and Betty. They were funny and caring people. Simon could always make Marceline laugh and smile. And Betty was always there to comfort Marceline, when she thought about her mother.

The group kept on traveling gathering supplies and trying to find a place that they could call home. One day they found an old cabin to spend the night at. Betty found an old calendar in one room and managed to figure out it was October second. Marcline went into the room, saw the month, and realized that her birthday was coming up. She circled the tenth with a marker. Simon came in and saw her do it.

"What's the occasion?" He asked.

"It's my birthday." Said Marceline.

"Is it now? How old are you turning?" Asked Simon.

"I'm going to be eight." Said Marceline with a big smile.

"Eight! My. My. Dose time fly! Your growing up so fast!" Said Simon as he ruffled Marceline's hair. "Were going to throw you a little party for your special day!"

"Really?" Asked Marceline her eyes wide open in excitement.

"Really!" Said Simon.

"Oh boy!" Said Marceline excitedly.

Simon went and told Betty about Marceline's up coming birthday.

"I'm going into the town to see if I can find anything we can use to throw Marceline a party." Said Simon as he grabbed his backpack.

"Ok, but be careful." Said Betty as she kissed Simon's cheek.

She then reached into her backpack and pulled out a ball of blue yarn and some knitting needles.

"I've been making Marceline a little scarf. You think she'll like that for her birthday?" Said Betty.

"She'll love it." Said Simon with a smile before he left the cabin.

Simon flew towards the nearby town and found a grocery store. Simon peered around, but saw no mutants wondering about. He went into the grocery store and started to search the aisles. On the fifth aisle he found a box of Ding Dongs. Simon examined the box and opened it. He grabbed a Ding Dong, unwrapped it, and took a bite of it. The Ding Dong was still good and edible.

"It might not be a cake, but it will do." Said Simon as he tucked the box into his backpack.

Simon continued his search, but didn't find anything else except a couple of birthday candles.

"It isn't much, but I guess it'll have to do." Thought Simon as he left the grocery store and returned to the cabin.

Betty was still working on the scarf she was knitting, when Simon returned.

"Well I found some Ding Dongs and a couple of birthday candles." Said Simon as he showed Betty what he found.

"It's a good find." Said Betty.

"I know, but I really want to do something special Marceline. I mean after all the bad things we've seen, she deserves something special for her birthday." Said Simon.

"Don't be so down on yourself. Marceline loves you. You manage to bring a smile to her face practically everyday. It doesn't matter what you do Marcline, will love it even if it something simple and silly." Said Betty.

"Your right. She dose love me. Thanks Betty, you just gave me a great idea." Said Simon as he kissed Betty.

"You're welcome." Said Betty with a smile.

On the night before Marceline's birthday Simon went outside with his crown.

"Ok lets see if I can do this." Said Simon as he rubbed his hands together.

Simon created several large cubes of ice. Simon then looked at the cubes and concentrated using his will he shaped the ice into several shapes. It took him a couple of hours until he was done. Simon looked at his work and smiled with satisfaction.

"Marceline is going to love this." Thought Simon as he went back inside the cabin.

The next morning Marceline woke up to the sound of sining. She looked up and saw Simon and Betty walking into her room holding a plate with some Ding Dongs sitting on top of it in a decorative fashion with a birthday candle on top.

"Happy Birthday Marceline!" Said Simon and Betty.

"Thanks!" Said Marceline in excitement.

"Time to blow out the candle and make a wish." Said Simon.

Marceline closed her eyes in thought, before opening them and blowing out the candle.

"Here's a little present from us." Said Betty as she pulled out a little something wrapped in paper.

Marceline took it and opened it up pulling out a blue scarf.

"I love it! Thank you Betty!" Said Marceline as she put the scarf around her neck and hugged Betty.

"You're welcome." Said Betty with a smile as she hugged Marceline back.

"Now lets have a little desert and head outside. I have a surprise for you." Said Simon.

After eating the Ding Dongs the group went outside and meet with an amazing sight. Simon had used his powers to morph several blocks into letters that read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCELINE".

"You did this for me?" Asked Marceline in amazement.

"I did." Said Simon.

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

"You're welcome sweetie." Said Simon with a smile as he hugged Marceline.

They took a group picture and hung out with each other, until the sunset and they went to bed. Little did Marceline know she was going to receive a special visit.

In the Underworld, Death was tending to his gardens, when Linda wondered in.

"Hello Linda. Are you enjoying the afterlife in Death World 51?" Said Death.

"I am thank you. I came here to ask if it was possible to go visit my daughter, it was her birthday." Said Linda.

"Say no more. I'll help you out." Said Death as he turned away from his garden to face Linda. "You see spirits have the ability to go into people's dreams and interact with and actually have physical contact with them. You want to have physical contact with your daughter that's the way to do it."

"Thanks that's really helpful." Said Linda.

"You're welcome." Said Death as he tapped his hoe onto the ground and a portal opened up. "Now go visit your daughter. When she wakes up you will return to the Dead World you were at."

"Thank you." Said Linda as she flew through the portal and vanished.

Death smiled slightly and turned to his garden. He could sense that The Lich was still on Earth, but he was far away from Simon, Betty, and Marceline. They were safe for now.

Linda flew through the cabin and hovered over the sleeping form of Marceline.

"Here goes nothing." Said Linda as she flew into Marceline's head.

Inside Marceline's dream Marceline was playing on a swing set with Hambo, when she heard someone approaching. She turned around and saw her mother.

"Mommy!" Cried Marceline excitedly as she ran forward and threw her arms around Linda. "I missed you!"

"And I missed you to sweetie." Said Linda.

The two of them hung out and talked. Marceline told Linda about all her adventures with Simon and Betty.

"It's sounds like you've had quit an adventure. Simon and Betty sound like really nice people." Said Linda.

"They are." Said Marceline. "Mommy what...was dying like?" She asked.

Linda thought for a moment how to phrase it.

"It...was scary at first, but it was peaceful at the end. But don't you worry about dying you have a long life ahead of you Marceline." Said Linda.

"I do?" Asked Marceline.

"You do." Said Linda.

The two of them hung out some more, until Marceline started to wake up.

"It looks like it's time for me to leave." Said Linda.

"But I don't want you to leave!" Cried Marceline.

"I know Marceline, but know this. I will always be watching over you and there will always a piece of me here." Said Linda as she bent down and tapped a finger to Marcline's chest indicating her heart.

The two of them hugged each other.

"I love you mommy." Said Marceline.

"I love you Marceline." Said Linda.

Marceline woke up in the real world as Linda's spirit returned to the Dead World 51. Marceline touched her chest and smiled.

"You're always with me mommy." Said Marceline with a smile as a small tear fell from her eye.

On Dead World 51 Linda felt tears fell from her eyes as she watched her daughter.

In a city miles away a portal opened up in a alley and a figure in a black business suit and red boots stepped out. The figure appeared to be a human man with pointy ears. The man stepped out of the alley adjusting his tie. He then noticed all the wrecked cars and crumbling buildings. A look of surprise appeared on the man's face.

"What happened to the world?!" Exclaimed the man as he looked at all the destruction.

The man took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Alright Hunson calm down. I'm sure Linda and Marceline are ok." Said Hunson as he sniffed the air and managed to pick up Marceline's scent. "Ok I'll get Marceline, find Linda, and take them back to the Nightosphere." He said as he started to walk west.

Hunson caught his reflection in a nearby window.

"I guess there's no point in me wearing this disguise." Said Hunson as he snapped his fingers.

Hunson's skin turned light blue, his teeth turned into fangs, and his eyes turned into light yellow with slit neon pink pupils.

"Much better." Said Hunson as he continued on with his quest for his family.

To be continued.
