[You're Dark Cacao Cookie] Once upon a time.. There were five young Cookies venturing in the woods on a mission by themselves.

Dark Cacao Cookie was fighting creatures that have gotten in his way by himself, all alone. As his sword dealt the final blow, there was a rustle in one of the surrounding bushes. He shouted,

"Who goes there?"

Soon, two Cookies emerged from the surroundings, seemingly passive. The one with the blonde hair spoke,

[𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲:] "Please, calm down."

His tone was quite calm, meaning no harm.

[𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲:] "My name is Pure Vanilla Cookie. I'm here with my friend to stop the monsters."

Pure Vanilla Cookie spoke, soon gesturing his friend to step forward slightly. He look back at the new face, continuing to speak,

"Just like you, I believe."

He smiled softly. He was met with no response. After a few moments, White Lily Cookie looked at the stranger, scrutinizing him. Her brows furrowed slightly, a small concerned glint in her fuchisa eyes.

[White Lily Cookie:] "Pure Vanilla Cookie, he's crumbling...!"

She whispered to her best friend hastily.

Pure Vanilla Cookie felt her small nudge, noticing too. A worried look etched itself in his features.

[Pure Vanilla Cookie:] "Are you injured? Please, let me heal you."

Just as Dark Cacao Cookie was going to decline, a loud voice piped up. It was followed by one very strong fighter.

[Hollyberry Cookie:]

"Did I hear "healing"? I could use some too!"

Pure Vanilla Cookie seemed visibly surprised, though he seemed to take the sudden appearance of the new Cookie positively.

[Pure Vanilla Cookie:] "Who are you?"

Hollyberry Cookie placed one of her hands on her hip, slightly lowering her shield.

[Hollyberry Cookie:] "Hollyberry Cookie is the name! Here to take down the monsters. Just like you lot, I take it."

She grinned, confidence firm in her voice. Dark Cacao Cookie was quick to speak, denying the possibility of being allies with White Lily Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie. Hollyberry Cookie snapped back, finding some humour in it.

[Hollyberry Cookie:] "Aww, don't be such a stranger! If you have the same goal, them it makes us a team! Right?"

She looked between the three, seeking the answer she wanted to hear. Pure Vanilla Cookie soon spoke, his smile bigger. He enjoyed the idea of everyone working together.

[Pure Vanilla Cookie:] "Yes, Hollyberry Cookie is right. So please, let me help you."

Hollyberry Cookie nodded happily, pleased.

[Hollyberry Cookie:] "Yes, yes! Here, I'll share some of my berry juice! New friendships are supposed to be celebrated!"

She reached into her backpack before being interrupted by a greedy voice.

[Golden Cheese Cookie:]

"Not so fast!"

Hollyberry Cookie's friend complained in irritation, her shoulders slumped.

[𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲:] "I'm EXHAUSTED, and you're sharing OUR berry juice when we barely have any left?"

Golden Cheese Cookie emerged from the bushes, about to snatch the bag in her own hands.

[𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲:] "Another Cookie...?"

Hollyberry Cookie nodded with pride, holding the backpack out of reach. She looked at Golden Cheese Cookie before speaking.

[Golden Cheese Cookie:] "Oh, this is Golden Cheese Cookie! A bit loud if you ask me, but she makes pretty good company! She claims the monsters took her treasure!"

[Golden Cheese Cookie:] "I repeat: we are NOT sharing the berry juice!"

[Hollyberry Cookie:] "And as you can see, she's not so keen on sharing!"

Golden Cheese Cookie snapped back in mock offense. All shared a laugh except Dark Cacao Cookie.

[Hollyberry Cookie] "Ha ha! Now, you there, with the stern look! Come on, join us!"

She shouted, pointing briefly at him.
