The last thing ----- remembered was... what did she remember? She suddenly woke up in another place. It looked a lot like earth. The grass was green, the sky was blue, and the pine trees were swaying gently in the breeze. But ----- didn't remember who she was, or where she came from.
"Hey! S'mores Cookie!" she heard someone demand, "Get up from the ground. The kingdom isn't for taking naps, you've gotta get up and at least walk!"
Is she talking to me? Am I S'mores Cookie? she thought.
"S'mores! Stop ignoring me!" The blue and pink twintailed cookie yelled.
Well, I guess that is me, she concluded.
"Uhm, what kingdom?" S'mores asked, "Who are you?"
"The Cookie Kingdom, idiot!" the other cookie exclaimed. "How could you ever forget me, Twizzly Gummy Cookie?"
Twizzly takes S'mores Cookie's hand.
"Where are we going?" S'mores asked.
"You need Star Jellies. And then we're going to battle," Twizzly explained.
"Star Jellies, what are- wait, did you just say BATTLE?!" S'mores cookie exclaimed, her eyes widening.
"What? Isn't that what we are all made for? After escaping the oven, obviously."
"I don't know!"
"Oh well," Twizzly shrugged, dragging S'mores along with her.
~~
The sky darkened, and the moon rose. S'mores figured she was sent there, to Crispia, for a reason. Maybe for research? If that was the case, then maybe she'd ask Twizzly some questions. She hoped the other would answer.
"Uhm, can I ask you some questions?" she asked.
"Give me some of your Star Jellies, and then we'll see," Twizzly replied.
"But I thought- fine," S'more handed Twizzly some of her Star Jellies, and Twizzly just threw them into her mouth, chewing loudly to tick S'mores off.
"How long does it take for Crispia to rotate on its axis once?" S'mores asked.
"Talk English," Twizzly demanded, not even looking at S'mores.
"Uhm, how long is a day?" S'mores asked hesitantly.
"Forty-eight hours,"
"And a year?"
"Three thousand six hundred-fifty days,"
I didn't think she'd actually answer my questions... weird, but I'll take it. S'mores thought.
"Does this planet have rings? How many moons?" S'mores asked.
"No rings, one moon, and before you ask, it's tilted 15°. Yes, we have seasons, this planet is clearly terrestrial, and the average temperature is 59° Fahrenheit."
"Okay, thanks," S'mores said.
~~
S'mores Cookie, now satisfied from eating Star Jellies, stood along with four other cookies; Twizzly Gummy Cookie in the back, White Lily Cookie and Sea Fairy Cookie in the middle, and Clotted Cream Cookie in the front. S'mores was in the back with Twizzly.
They were running in the dark forest. The grass and trees glimmered a purple hue, and the sky was pitch black.
"We will be approaching the Pomegranate Village soon," Clotted Cream Cookie said professionally, waving one of his coat belts to show the direction of the village.
"I hope they don't know what I did," White Lily said a bit sadly.
"Oh, shut up!" Twizzly Gummy exclaimed, "They won't even know you!"
"Hey, don't say that stuff," Sea Fairy said, "We have to stay positive for battle."
"Where are we, anyway?" S'mores asked.
"The Tainted Forest, silly," Twizzly replied.
"Oh..."
The first wave of enemies arrived.
"Poison Shroomers," Twizzly growled before blasting them with her Electrojelly Gun, laughing manically.
"Oh," Said White Lily, before attacking with her vines, "This is my penitence!"
"Wait, how much power do we have?" Sea Fairy Cookie asked.
"I don't know. Twizzly took the Jellies, after all," Clotted Cream Cookie stated, as a matter-of-factly, "Ow!"
The Poison Shroomers, Pomegranate Cake Hounds, and Tainted Pomegranate Crows were attacking them, and with no healing cookies, they were losing health fast.
"Witness the might of the Sea!" Sea Fairy Cookie exclaimed, attacking, hoping it would do something. And it did. They beat a wave of the pomegranate monsters. But they had more to go.
The Poisonous Jelly Worms and Two-Headed Pomegranate Snakes weren't much easier to manage, either.
"C'mon! We didn't spend those Stamina Jellies for no reason, did we?" S'mores asked rhetorically.
"GAME OVER!" Twizzly exclaimed, hyped up, then laughing manically again.
She meant 'Game Over' for the monsters, not for them, yet they ended up losing.
"Cookies... so fragile..." White Lily Cookie muttered under her breath sadly.
"We must not give up! We just need more Star Jellies!" S'mores Cookie said.
"On it!" Twizzly handed everyone a generous amount of the Jellies, which they ate.
"These are superb," Clotted Cream Cookie nodded.
"Okay, we should be good to go now," S'mores Cookie said.
As they ran to the enemies, S'mores Cookie realized she could heal all along! She must've not noticed since she was new to Crispia... after all, she still didn't know who ----- was... a past identity.
This time, they got through ALL the waves of enemies and succeeded.
"Let's take some time to savor this moment," Clotted Cream Cookie said, "We deserve it."
