"The Cookies are back!" Sugar Gnome-3 informed to the other Sugar Gnome residents. "You bet! The Cake Monsters are HISTORY! GONE! BYE-BYE! They won't bother us again. Y/n even tamed one of them." Gingerbrave stated, gesturing to the Cake Hound that was on top of my head.

"We found something weird... Can you tell us what this is?" Strawberry Cookie requested. Strawberry pulled out a Cookie Cutter. "Why, that's Special Cookie Cutter!" Sugar Gnome-1 informed. "A Cookie-Whatter? Cookie-Cutter?" Gingerbrave repeated in confusion.

Ginger brave walked over to the giant Cookie Cutter and laid down inside, perfectly fitting his shape. "Yo, check me out! If I fits, I sits! Ahhhhh. I'm in heaven... SOOO comfy... Ahhhhhhh..." Gingerbrave declared, sighing in relaxation. "Um, Ginger-Brave-Wonderful-Warrior-Sir? You aren't using it right!" Sugar Gnome-1 stated.

"Legend has it that a Cookie Cutter shall lead Cookies through the mysterious Doors of Metal... That's right!" Sugar Gnome-1 continued. "Unlike you, we can't use them! But you should totally give it a shot, mm-hmm!" Sugar Gnome-2 added.

"Unbelievable...! I thought that it was a Sugar Swan who brought Cookies into the world!" Wizard Cookie gasped. "Is the Sugar Swan this world's version of the Stork?" I questioned, muttering under my breath.

"Wizard Cookie, sir? Why don't you use the Cookie Cutter! Diddity-doo!" Sugar Gnome-1 suggested. "Yeah! I agree! Plus... he's the only one we know who can do magic." I encouraged.

When Wizard Cookie performed a spell, the Cookie cutter lifted up in the air was was replaced with a blinding light, to which I quickly dropped my sword, took Taffeta off of my head, turned around, and hunched over her to shield her away from it. When the light disappeared, I heard a thud. I turned around to see a Cookie with long, red hair that was in a ponytail, that was being held up by a spiky scrunchy, had the outfit of an outlaw, and a dagger that looked like a Chili Pepper.

"Huh?" Gingerbrave and Strawberry Cookie individually said. "HUH?" The newcomer asked aloud. "Okay, what's going on? Who are you? Cops? Back it up, boys! Don't even think about messing with me." She threatened, shouting at us. "Don't fight. It's okay. We used The Cookie Cutter, and voila! Here you are!" Sugar Gnome-1 informed her, trying to calm her down.

"You WHAT? I was just about to lay my hands on a big ol' yummy pile of SCRUPTIOUS GOLD! WHO SUMMONED ME! Was it you, funny face? - or you?" She asked in a demanding tone, pointing her dagger in the Sugar Gnome's face before turning to Gingerbrave, doing the same thing. But he didn't take the hint of her being a danger. "It was Wizard cookie!" Gingerbrave said.

She turned around to Wizard Cookie. "You there; yeah YOU, Pointy Hat! With the fake beard- Know what I'll do? Huh??" She yelled at him before looking around her new surroundings. "What? Where in the world-? Do you even have a jewelry shop in this dump?" She asked, slumping her shoulders in disappointment. "No." I answered, petting Taffeta's head.

"Okay, okay, how 'bout a bank? One measly, itty-bitty bank? Please say yes. I'm not asking for much! It's a bank, not a rainbow. PLEASE!!! Oh- how 'bout I take that necklace you have there off your hands?" She asked, walking over to me, ready to snatch it off of me. Seeing this, I quickly moved back, clutching my hand over it as she tried to take it, but failed at her attempt as she fell to the ground flat on her face. "No. I've had this since as long as I can remember; you're not taking it. And it's a bolo for your information." I stated, shaking my shoulders on the last two words in a 'matter of fact' tone.

"But, hey, it's on our 'To-Build List'!" Gingerbrave cheerfully informed. ACCCH! UGGG! PFF! Are you sure there's nothing to steal? Nada? Zero? Nothing?" She asked.

"TROUBLE! TROUBLE!" Sugar Gnome-2 shouted, running over to us. "Again? It hasn't even been 10 minutes." I said. "Don't tell me. Cake Monsters again?!" Gingerbrave asked. I cleared my throat, pointing to Taffeta in my l/d arm (Least dominant) as I gave him a disappointed glare like I'm ready to pull his organs out of his metaphorical ears. "Cake Monsters that aren't Taffina?" Gingerbrave corrected. "It's Taffeta!" I corrected, placing her on top of my head. "You know what I mean." Gingerbrave groaned.

"Anyways... continue." I requested to Sugar Gnome-2. "Dutti-do! Someone's in the castle! Blood-red eyes! Razor-sharp teeth, yellow as the sun! Brush much? I think not. No doubt they are after the Castle's great treasures, mm-hmm!" Sugar Gnome-2 recalled.

That quickly caught the newcomer's attention. "Treasures?! Did you say 'treasures'? Why didn't you tell me that in the first place! Now yer talkin'-! YES!" She cheered, like she found an Oasis in a vast desert.

(In the castle)

"Fools! What's taking so long? Have you found the crown?" A cookie in a robe asked in an impatient tone. "It um, ah, doesn't, y'know, seem like there's a Crown in all this garbage, Meowster." Bat-Cat said in a nervous tone. "Check again! Check, double check, triple-check-aroo!! These aren't your usual ruins. The Crown is worth a fortune. It contains the Power from the Legends, he-he..." The mysterious cookie laughed.

A Choco Werehound Brute with a giant hammer lifted it in the air. "Crown! We found! DONE AND DONE." He announced proudly.

"Sooooo... there was a Crown after all. I knew it!" Wizard Cookie muttered once we made it to the location Sugar Gnome-2 told us. "Hold on! Not so fast! Wait, who are you again? Where do you think you're takin' this cool, classy crown? 'Cuz it ain't yours! IT'S OURS!" Gingerbrave demanded.

"Rats! BUSTED! Accch!" The mysterious Cookie growled in defeat. That's when another Cake Hound, that looks like Taffeta, ran off with the crown on its head. "Cake Hound! RUN LIKE THE WIND! Take the Crown as far as you can! We're right behind you!" The mysterious Cookie yelled.

"That smelly dog has the Crown!" Strawberry shouted. "STOP THIEF!" Gingerbrave yelled before the group ran after it. I took Taffeta off of my head and gave her some pets. "Don't worry, my sweet baby. They don't mean you." I said, nuzzling the side of my face against her head. I pecked her on the cheek before I placed her back on my head and quickly followed behind.

"Bad dog! Get back here! Bad, bad, bad!" Gingerbrave scolded, hoping that it would listen. But it didn't.

"There it is!" Gingerbrave yelled, spotting the Cake Hound. "It's running into the Roll Cake Forest! Let's go!" Gingerbrave said, and we followed behind. And, to no one's surprise, the newcomer joined; probably to steal it.

As we chased after it, we stopped in our tracks when it stopped along the path and faced it. "Bad Cake Hound! Give back the crown!" Gingerbrave scolded. In response, the Cake Hound turned around and high-tailed out of there. "Ugh, it's running away again! Stop! Stop, you!" Gingerbrave demanded.

After fighting off two groups of Cake Hounds, we caught up to the Crowned Cake Hound. "I got the Hound! YOU'RE TOAST, MY FRIEND!" Gingerbrave exclaimed.

That's when three separate Cake Hounds came out. Two of them looking like Taffeta and the Crowned Cake Hound, and the other was a big one, more chocolate looking. "Gah! That Cake Monster is enormous!" Wizard Cookie yelped. "All I see is a bigger cake Hound to cuddle." I giggled, gushing at the giant Cake Hound, ignoring its intimidating size and looks. "No, not again! You already have a Cake Hound, that is luckily small. We don't need another one that is twice her size!" Wizard Cookie stated. I awed in disappointment as the Crowned Cake Hound ran away again. "No-o! It's gone again!" Gingerbrave whined.

We got into position to fight off the rouge Cake Hounds. I really didn't want to hurt them, but I had to. To protect my... 

--

Random memories, that I don't even recall flashed in my head.

Six Cookies sat at a table, laughing amongst others. Two Cookies dancing under the moon light. Two Cookies hanging out at a bar, arm wrestling. Two Cookies in a room, one was sitting on a stool and the other was doing her hair.

Then... there was fire covering as far as the eye can see on the horizon. Screams filling the air. A silver-colored tree quickly forming.

--

Team...?

I quickly shook my head, trying to clear my mind. I held my sword in front of me, and I swung, but the next thing I knew, the sword's blade disconnects turning into some sort of whip, and the blades shot off of the weapon.

It seemed to surprise them because they ran off in fright. "...What the...?" I muttered, looking at my weapon.

"What kind of weapon is this?!" I asked in shock. "Who cares? At least it got rid of them. Now come on! We have a Cake Hound to chase." Gingerbrave said, continuing on forward. I sighed before me and the others followed after him.

As we continued on, we fought more Cake Hounds until we came across another Cookie, but he was in a royalty outfit, and seems like... a kid? "Shoo! Shoo! Go away! Skedaddle! How DARE you!" He shouted, fending himself off with his scepter against these small Cake guys with logs for clubs.

That's when the Crowned Cake Hound approached the small Cookie. "WHOAH! A Cake Puppy!" He squealed in delight. "And you're wearing a crown! Wait- don't tell me!!! ARE YOU LIKE, ROYAL??? ARE YOU NOBLE LIKE ME?!" The kid asked rather loudly in joy. The Crowned Cake Hound barked in response before he starts nibbling on the small Cookie.

"Hehehe! Stop! Seriously! THAT TICKLES! Hahaha! Yowch! No biting! Haha!" The small Cookie laughed.

"The Cake Hound, there it is!" Gingerbrave yelled, causing the Crowned Cake Hound to run away. "Oh, cute puppy! Where are you going!" The small Cookie asked, chasing after it, us following behind.
