Chapter Text
"And the winner is... Hydrangea Cookie," announced Gelato Trio.
Hydrangea hummed to herself as she drifted through her garden, letting the wind dictate where she walked as she closed her eyes. She'd drinken so much berry-juice...
She suddenly tripped over her own robes but was caught in a dip by Pastel Meringue instead of colidng with the gingerbreak brick path.
"Oh. Hello, Pastel..." Hydrangea greeted.
"Are you seriously wasted? It's unbecoming of you," Pastel Meringue mutter when Hydrangea suddenly shoved a bottle of berry-juice in his mouth.
"You should join me... It feels so relaxing..." Hydrangea purred.
Pastel Meringue coughed as he swallowed some of the juice against his will before pushing it out of his mouth.
"It'd prefer to keep my mind clear while I think of designs," Pastel slightly slurred.
"Is that why your here?" Hydrangea asked, tilting her head.
"With spring nearing it's end, I thought, why not design a final line inspired by flowers from the dragon valley," Pastel Meringue explained. "Though... I didn't expect them to look so... chewwed..."
Hydrangea looked at a patch of dragon snappers and gasped in horror. Every single one had nibbles in the petals and leaves.
"A pest in my garden?! That can't be!" she shrieked. "Pastel! Please help meeeee."
"And how do you expect me to do that?" Pastel Meringue huffed.
"This is humiliating," Pastel Meringue growled as he leaned against a flower stalk. "I refuse to be this size without faerie lace!"
"Please?" Hydrangea begged, eyes wide and sad.
"For witches sake..." Pastel muttered, beginning to walk through the flowers.
As he walked, her the sound of eating and hesitantly followed it.
There was where he found a Jelly Worm nibbling on one of the many flowers. It was huge and gross... But at least he found the issue. Now he could go back and demand Hydrangea turn him back.
Crunch
Pastel Meringue lifted his foot off a dried up petal. His head whippd back to look at the Jelly Worm that had been eating a moment ago, that was now looming over him.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" the Jelly Worm chuckled as it coiled round Pastel Meringue, restricting his movement.
"Unhand me, you vile thing!" Pastel Meringue demanded.
"No one tells the great and powerful Jelly Wormy what to do," it laughed.
"Hydrangea!" Pastel Meringue called out.
Petals were moved aside as Hydrangea looked down at the two smalls.
"So you're the one ruinging my beauties. We can't have that now, can we?" she asked, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
With a flash of her camera, the Jelly Worm was shrunk, smaller than a needle's thread hole.
Panicked that it had touched him, Pastel Meringue squished it under his shoe, only then did he realize what he did.
"Ew... And these were high-end slids..." he whined.
