The episode opens with Marceline, Finn, Jake, and the Ice King playing basketball at Marceline's house. Finn and Jake question Marceline on why she invited the Ice King, she then explains to them about her long history with the Ice King. The two request her to tell them about their past, as the Ice King comes back from getting water, agreeing.
She begins telling a story about the two of them (exactly) 996 years ago. It starts with 47 year old Simon and 7 year old 'Marcy' (Marceline) wandering through the empty ruins of human civilization, destroyed in the Great Mushroom War, searching for food. At the edge of the forest, they find a mail box but there is only a dead rat inside. Simon tries to keep Marcy's spirits up by joking around, remarking that the rat will be a cute new traveling partner. He discovers a VHS tape nearby on the ground, and suggests they "watch" it - without a VHS player or electricity, he literally stares at the tape, then jokes that it was a boring movie and says the book is better. -

They then hear a rustle from the woods, Simon then puts his crown on to protect him and Marcy, even though Marcy is clearly afraid of what the crown does to him. Simon reassures her and says he has to to keep her safe. Once Simon puts the crown on his head, its magic makes Simon forget himself. Marcy begs Simon to take off the crown. It turns out that the rustle is caused by a deer in the bush, but Simon has no control of himself as he blasts the deer with ice anyway. He mistakenly calls Marcy "Gunter" and tells her to play in the snow as he generates snowflakes to cover her. When Simon is using his freezing power on the deer Marcy throws a snowball to knock Simon's crown off. It takes a little while for the effects from the crown to wear off, and this worries Marcy. She then makes Simon promise never to put it on again. Marcy does not know what the animal is, and Simon explains that it is a deer. Marcy wonders that if the deer was alive in the woods, maybe other things have survived the war out there as well. Her comment underscores just how empty the wasteland is, with the pair not even knowing if other beings are alive despite months of wandering in the ruins. Simon pauses and ponders the question, but honestly does not know.
At the end of the day, Simon sets up camp for the two of them. The deer he froze in ice has solved their food problem for the moment, and Simon cooks it over their campfire. He tries to make her laugh by acting out an episode of Cheers for her through a broken television. Marcy then taps an old soda can and says, "mute." Simon mouths words as if he was actually muted. Marceline has a good laugh, but then begins to cough, making Simon realize she has a low fever. He tells her to sleep to preserve her strength.
