Hollyberry’s eyes fluttered open, taking in the view around her. “Where… am I?” It was dark. She was hardly able to see a thing. The ancient was dazed before the memories struck her all at once.
Eternal Sugar. A beast. She threw her in the jewelry box.
Now she was stuck.
Extremely stuck.
“My foe…!” Hollyberry sat up quickly, frantically searching around for anything at all this could help her. Then she sunk to her knees.
What’s the point in being passionate? Why not just be happy and give into sloth?
She was ready to accept her fate, but then she heard a voice.
“Hollyberry Cookie, an ancient hero? My my, giving up so quickly, are we?”
“Who goes there?!” Hollyberry stood once more.
“A helping hand, you could say~”
A cookie then emerged from the shadows, her dress dragging along the bottom of the jewelry box. The blue cookie adjusted the bow in her hair before giggling, narrowing her mismatched eyes at the cookie who stood before her. “It’s pathetic how quickly you gave in to that monstrous beast. Where’s your rage? Where’s your drive? Where’s your PASSION?”
Wait. That’s right.
The glimmer in Hollyberry’s eyes returned once more. Something clicked.
“I have to save my friends.”
———————————————————————
The two stood outside the now busted open jewelry box, the blue cookie dusted off her dress. Magic matching the color of her dough surrounded the contraption they were locked in moments before.
“Thank you…” Hollyberry said, a smile on her face. “What is your name, mysterious friend?”
The other simply giggled in reply.
“That’s confidential, dear. Now run along. You have cookies to save, do you not?”
Too easy. Everything was going according to plan.
