Today was definitely not his day.

After failing to impress First Sprinkle Cookie in the way he would have liked and making a joke of himself in front of a live audience, he ran off stage with tears in his eyes. Now he sat all by his lonesome outside of the circus.

"C-clumsy, so clumsy..." He quietly berated himself as he attempted to kick a sugar pebble....just for it to bounce off a tree and hit him in the face. The little Cookie let out a sharp honk and fell flat on his rear.

It seemed his clumsiness knew no bounds. He wanted so badly to amaze the crowds with his acrobatic stunts but he couldn't even land a back flip without fumbling and crashing. He even heard some Cookies in the audience whispering to each other that Cream Donut should stick to just his drums. It was soul crushing to hear such words. First Sprinkle tried her best to console him which did give him a little hope. But still, it wasn't enough to make the glaring faults in his performances go away.

Sighing, he rubbed the spot on his forehead where the sugar pebble hit him and slowly picked himself up. He had to do better, he was going to do better. If not for the crowds, then for First Sprinkle.

"Yeah!! I got this!!!" He hyped himself up, shaking his tiny fists in the air. "I'm gonna be the best Cookie in the Sprinkling Circus. Just they wait and see-"

Before he could finish that sentence, he saw it. That massive looming figure among the cotton candy trees. Was it a monster? Oh...oh no. He wasn't equipped to fight a monster!!!

He tried to scream out for help but the fear was so great that his plea fizzled out in his throat. He practically choked on it. A gloved hand came down upon him and scooped him up. Now that he was closer, he could see what it truly was. It was worse than a monster. It was a Witch. A living breathing Witch in the flesh.

Why was a Witch doing this far out? Weren't they usually in their gingerbread houses? Whatever the reasoning was, he was still in big trouble.

"P-please!!! Don't e-eat me!" He squeaked out as he squirmed in your hand.

Meanwhile, you were just admiring the little Cookie. You baked some pretty cute Cookies in your lifetime but this one was absolutely adorable! Perhaps you could take him back to your cottage and use him as a little baking assistant?
