Friends! ~/Strawberry crepe and custard cookie/~

Strayed Of The Path?!

~Lost~

"Don't walk to fast Custard-!"

Custard cookie completely ignored gingerbrave's warning despite not realizing he was in a part of forest the kingdom haven't explored yet.

"Woah, gingerbrave did we explore this part yet-"  Custard asked while turning around only to find himself alone. "E-eh?! Did gingerbrave leave me alone to patrol?!"

There seems to be several cake hounds watching him as he desperately tried to find where did he came from. Few cake hounds also seems to slowly tiptoe to Custard while his attention is on the path he took that was covered in cake hounds footprints.

Custard noticed cake hounds that is dangerously way too close with him before shooing them with his wand (A/N:is the thing he's holding a wand or-?)

He shivered as a cold breeze simply pass him. Even if he stumble across any evil cookie or any dangerous stuff, he surely couldn't fight them! He's just a healer! He run in an unknown direction hoping it will bring him back to the kingdom.

At this point he just continues to run and it feels like these huge trees seems to be mocking him. Laughing at him for being a completely naive king that ignored his people warning of danger.

Where hope start to disappear, he tripped on a rock and roll on the ground. He doesn't even want to get up from the ground anymore. It's tiring. He's tired. His legs feel like it's about to crumble if he continue. His clothes are surely dirty right now, no doubt about it.

He heard something or someone approaching. Maybe it's just a cake hounds. It's over, his king life is gonna end here. The cake hounds are gonna eat him up. The cake hounds on these area are completely a different level from the one he fought with strawberry, gingerbrave and chili pepper cookie.

He just accepted his fate and shut his eyes completely from the world. He does not want to see any dark bush or huge and tall tree with evil looking bird resting on it. The footsteps seems to stop and the owner of the footsteps is right infront of him.

"Hm? What do a cookie like you coming to this place?" A cookie? Are they nice? He remains his eyes shut incase its an evil cookie. "Unconscious? Weak cookies are boringgg." Yep they sound like a mean cookie.

The stranger shook his body in attempt to wake him up. He doubt whether to open his eyes or pretend staying unconscious. He flutter his eyes open and slowly get up from the ground.

He expect to see a terrifying cookie standing in front of him but what he was greeted with was just an ordinary looking cookie with an arrogance look on their face. The stranger seem to be on custard's age with a pink haired and cone headband. With two floating arm looking thing behind them.

Custard gulped seeing it and remain sitting on the floor and slowly grabbing his wand, keeping it close to his chest. "Geez, finally! I was getting bored and about to leave you here!" Custard observed the cookie's expression. "Wh-what are you doing on this part of forest? This place is dangerous!" Custard asked with his tone slightly higher.

"Boooo, and here I thought you'll slightly be amusing or at least interesting. Turn out my judgment was incorrect, also you seem to be dirty." The stranger sneered pointing to his now dirty clothes. Smug expression on his face.

"H-how dare you say that to the king!" Custard yell while keeping his wand closer to his chest. "King? You seem to be an ordinary cookie with a dirty clothes." The stranger giggle before looking back at custard up and down.

"You're lost aren't you? Let's make a deal." The cookie use one of their floating giant arm behind them to lift custard up in the air. "What- Errr, what deal?" Custard ask cautiously still being hold up in the air by the stranger's giant arm. Let's call it strawberry arm.

"You'll find something fun for me, and I'll escort you out of this dark part of forest." Custard think about it for a few seconds and nodded his head in agreement. The strawberry arm dropped him and he is now on the ground again.

He get up completely and dust himself off. He nervously look at the cookie who looks at him with curiosity observing his move. "Uhh, so what do you find to be fun?" Custard ask hoping to know this cookie interest. "Hmm maybe killing a monster or cookie" Nevermind, he regret asking the stranger that question.

Custard thinks to himself before coming up with an idea. "Do you like games?" Custard ask. "Depends." This cookie respond does not help at all. "I'll take that as a yes then, we can play hide and seek." At this point the stranger roll his eyes."Whatt, that's boring and also I'm not a 6 years old kid!"

"You won't know unless you tried! And a king word is always correct" Custard boast with confidence and his hands on his hips while holding his wand. "Fine but you'll be eeerr, what do they called it? A seek.. A seeker yes!" The cookie said pointing at him.

"Fine! I'll count to 10-" Custard was immediately cut off. "Ehhh?! No no no you'll count to 20!" "What- finee hurry up!" Custard turn to his back and cover his eyes with his hands.

(Some time later..

"19..20!! Ready or not here I come!" Custard hurriedly check all the nearby bush and even look up in the trees. He gotta say, this cookie is good at hiding. He then heard someone giggling quietly behind him and turn around in the speed of light. Behind him, a berry bush was moving.

"That's weird.. I DON'T THINK A BUSH MOVE ON ITS OWNN!!" Custard immediately jumped to the berry bush and tackle the cookie. "Gwah! Not fair!!" Custard proudly raise the hand his using to hold the wand and said "No one can beat this this king!"

The cookie is still throwing a tantrum on the ground swinging his legs up and down. "I want a rematch!" Custard stick out his tounge playfully.

(After a few more rounds..

The cookie noticed the sky getting orange shade. "Hmmm, it seems like the time is up. Fine, since we have a deal I'll escort you out of this forest." The cookie turn to look at custard cookie's expression. "Wait, does that mean you had fun playing?" Custard asked, eyes lit up. "Wha- nevermind let's just go!"

Custard giggle before catching up to the cookie.

(Back to the kingdom...

The cookie brought him back to the kingdom. "Oh yeah, I didn't asked this before but what is your name?" Custard asked slowly turning around."Strawberry crepe cookie" As soon as Custard cookie turn around fully the cookie disappeared.
