It had been a short while since the events of the ball had occurred, and the gang of teens had finally settled back into the hum of their everyday lives again. Well, not exactly 'back', as the part about Ice Queen trying to kidnap Gumball had now been replaced by Snowflake, who had a willing 'prisoner' go with her whenever she would rush into his Kingdom. Her aunt never really seemed to mind, just glad that Snowflake was happy and doing something constructive with her time.

That went on, until Snowflake made an announcement the day of a spring block party. All of her new friends were gathered around a picnic table with a bit of lunch between them, idly chatting about this and that before Snowflake suddenly stood up and clapped her hands together.

"Okay guys! So you know I've been saying with my aunt for the course of the winter." She began in a loud voice but then let it drop so only her friends could hear. "But with the weather warming up a lot outside, and it being almost summer, I'm going to have to be heading back to be home out in Eee, the Frost Lands."

"What!? You're leaving!?" Her friends exclaimed in unison, upset that they didn't have longer with her.

More importantly, Gumball looked the most shocked by the news. This little frost sprite was supposed to be his girlfriend, and yet he had never caught word of any of this from her up until this point. Shooting him a gentle and apologetic look, she sighed and looked back to the rest of her friends, Fionna, Marshall Lee, and Cake.

"Guys, I'll be back for a visit next winter." She tried to ease the upsetting atmosphere, but found she was just making it worse. "Its just because of the weather getting warmer.

In reality, even though she had only been there for a short while, she felt that she couldn't part with her boyfriend or her best friend, but she also felt like home was calling her- Well, home again. This made her decision very difficult but in the end she decided to visit home and then visit her friends next year, or at least whenever the summer ended.

"A year from now!" Fionna exclaimed, waving her arms above her head in a 'science dance' type way. "That's way to much time!"

"We can still talk on the phone." She said with a shrug but then remembered that Fionna's phone didn't reach all the way out in the winter side of Eee. "Guys, it really isn't that long a wait."

'Yes it is, idiot! To all of you it is and you know it!' She thought with a sigh as she tried to figure out what they could do.

Gently, she went to her boyfriend and took his hand and held it a little tight. She missed the smile he gave her when she looked down at her Mary-Jane shoes and dug the toe of the left one into the dirt. The little white bow on it was now covered with dirt but she simply kicked it away. The dirt clump went flying, then bounced off of a rock and landed back in front of her. This somehow gave her friend, Fionna, an idea.

"Wait! I've got it!" She said happily as she brought the palm of her hand to her face. "We can all visit with her! We can all go together!"

The rest of the friends looked confused at first as they let the words sink in, but then they stopped and considered what she had said. It seemed like a bad idea almost, after all, Aaa needed its hero and the kingdom needed its ruler, but with both of them gone, Glob only knows what might happen. However, a little time away never did hurt anyone.

"I don't know, Snowy..." GB spoke first, gripping her hand a little tighter in his.

"Yeah, I think Aaa would notice if we left." Fionna said with a sigh, sad that the idea did not work out.

"Yeah, that really sucks..." Marshall added with a bit of a pout.

Or it seemed it wouldn't work out, until Cake, who had heard everything, suddenly piped up.

"Go ahead and go you four. Me and Lord M can handle the ruling and hero stuff until you get back." Cake said with a smirk and a fold of her arms. "Theres a reason why you two have sidekicks."

The teens exchanged glances and then they all smiled widely and were then sent off by Cake to get ready for their next adventure. Next stop: The land of Eee.
