Stardust cookie sat in an awkward silence with Gingerbrave, unsure of what to say. He wasn’t exactly good at conversing, mostly keeping to himself ever since his redemption. It wasn’t like he was welcome at their little kingdom either, most of the cookies side-eying him skeptically whenever he passed by. It annoyed him to no end, it wasn’t like he was going to destroy the place.

Not again, at least.

Alone once more, he sits by the creek, watching his sister, Moonlight Cookie, mingle with friends. He envied her, as much as he hated it. Why must he be so alone, while she flourished?
