Chapter 8: to the dessert region

As Lisa, Frederick, and Yukio exit the castle, they walked around the walls through the wilderness. When they got to the back of the castle, they look for the keyhole in the trees.

"Yukio, can I ask you something? Why are you barefoot?" Asked Lisa.

"This is the eastern region, so of course people living here would either wear sandals or no footwear. Also, there aren't any sandals for me to wear while putting on clothes" answered Yukio.

"Makes sense" she said.

"Lisa! I found it!" Frederick called out.

Both Yukio and Lisa came to where Frederick is, and he is standing next to an old tree with a keyhole on it's trunk. Lisa pulled out the garnet key and insert it into the keyhole, before turning it. Then everything started to glow just like last time, before turning into a swirl of yellow, red, and blue. The next thing she knows, she's back home in her normal clothes. It was already evening outside from the window, and it was a good thing that her mother brought home frozen pizza for dinner today.

"I wonder how mom is doing inside the film, I'm starting to miss her along with dad" she said to herself.

The tv goes into static before changing into the scene from the film, and it shows the eastern region and even saw herself in the film. However, there are few details she hasn't seen while in the film:

1. There is a winged creature spying through the window of the palace.

2. It goes into the scene featuring the king talking to the members of the circle of ten, in which some she doesn't know.

3. After she, Frederick, and Yukio had left the castle, there's a squadron of troops marching towards the castle.

She got worried on what will happen to Enju and the two elemental ninjas, until she saw that they can fend for themselves via ninjutsu while Enju casts fire magic to burn the troop (it was due to her being a sorceress). Then the scene cuts to Yukio and Frederick looking for her, until they look at the screen of the tv.

"Lisa! Can you hear us!?" Called Frederick.

"I can hear you loud and clear, where do I go next?" She answered.

"Just try and look into the map, it'll show you how many regions you have freed. Currently, you have freed two regions so keep it up!" He instructed.

The map appeared on the tv screen, and it shows that the eastern region is now visible along with the toy region. Apparently, the toy region is connected south west from the eastern region, and next to the eastern region is the ocean. Both unknown regions that are located to the northwest started to glow, these are next to both the toy and eastern regions. Then it showed icons of who the members of the circle of ten resides, one region has a man who is dressed like an artist, the other region has a woman wearing a cherry jubilee themed outfit next to a familiar toy like clown. This was no doubt that this is Clown-a- round, the same toy who tried to kidnap her while dropping the peridot key needed to unlock the toy region.

"I don't like this clown, but I'm not sure who this woman next to him is. Whoever she is, she doesn't seem like a caring person just like Enju. I get the feeling that once I entered that region, they'll try to kidnap me by force or use some kind of machine that can capture me" she said to herself.

She then touched the region where Clown-a- round and that mysterious woman resides, and she get sucked into the tv once more. This time, it was a different region. The landscape is full of candy and desserts, it ranges from trees made from licorice to even the river is made of some unknown soda. Everything looked delicious, but she does not want to eat any of the local wildlife out of suspicion that it could be a trap. As she walked to the path towards the bridge made of chocolate bar, she can see the clouds being pink (as if it's made of cotton candy) whereas the birds looked like they're made of chocolate and there's even Swedish fish swimming through the bank.

Meanwhile

The castle that presided over the dessert region was as sweet as the land itself, it looked as if numerous confections were clustered together (the towers are basically made from marzipan with waffle cones, the top part of the castle is ice cream with a waffle cone on top, the drawbridge is a chocolate bar, etc). However, it is currently owned by a woman named Sherry jubilee. She wore a white dress with reddish pink trims, the shoulder parts looked like cherries, her white high heeled shoes have cherries at the tips, and her beret resembles the top of a cherry (since her outfit resembles the dessert she's themed after). She is sitting on her throne (which is made from wafers and other confections) with Clown-a- round standing at the window looking through the telescope, as if they're expecting to know the whereabouts of Lisa.

"Ugh, where is this girl? She should be here any moment! I've gotten all my guards on patrol, and my gadgets that I will use to capture the girl!" Said Sherry jubilee impatiently.

"Patience Sherry, she already used the garnet key from the eastern region. So it's likely that she should be coming here, after all, we are well prepared in case if she ever comes here at this castle" replied Clown-a- round.

"As long as I have my Morganite key, the girl will never use it to free this region" she said with a smug smile.

Just as Clown-a- round was looking from the front window, he saw Lisa coming from the distance towards the town. With utmost glee, he came to Sherry jubilee to report.

"Guess what? I found the girl!" He said.

"You did? Where!?" She said, as she couldn't believe her ears.

He showed her over at the front window and gave her the telescope, and she got very excited to see Lisa coming to town.

"Without further ado, we will come to her immediately! Once she is in our possession, we will turn her in and the king will be pleased!" She said in a giddy tone.

She and Clown-a- round got into a porcelain bathtub with legs, and it started to walk outside from the castle.

"Laa la la, laa la la! Laa la la la!

Kidnap the girl, lock her up real tight.

The king will know we got it right!

Kidnap the girl, and make her cry!

We know we have everything to try!" They both sang (in the tune of kidnap sandy claws from nightmare before Christmas).

"Once she entered our trap, it's all but won!" Sang Clown-a- round.

"But what kind of trap? We need the bait and it'll be done!" Sang Sherry jubilee.

"First the girl will enter the town, and we'll deceive her into thinking her mother is here. Then once she's at the castle, we'll aim at her the cannon and she will be no more!" He sang.

"Think now! If we were to blow her to smithereens, we'll lose the pieces and the king will beat us black and green!" She sang while pointing out.

"Kidnap the girl, beat her with a stick!

We'll get our kicks!

Kidnap the girl, put her in the cell.

Throw a way the keeeeyyy! Ahahaha!" They both sing while laughing.

Back to where Lisa is

Lisa looked around the town, and she can see that the locals go from gingerbread people to other sentient candy. The buildings are built from gingerbread with other confections, and she can see the sugary castle from the distance. Once she set foot into the western street, she noticed that some of the buildings looked rundown and hasn't been used in a while.

"Psst, hey girl!" A voice called out to her.

"Huh? Did somebody say my name?" She asked while looking around.

She saw someone at the alley waving to her, so she walked into the alley. She saw a blue gummy bear wearing a cloth that covered it's left eye, and it has a piece of its ear chewed off.

"This region is not really safe, you know that" said the blue gummy bear.

"It looked kind of cute, but I noticed that not all it seems" she remarked.

"Look, you're in danger. This place is governed by a woman named Sherry jubilee, and since she had replaced king candy, everything went downhill from there. It's obvious that she and that toy like clown is looking for you, it won't be long until they get here. I noticed that her necklace that she is wearing has a key with a Morganite gemstone on it, and if you were to defeat the two of them, you take the key from her and use it to restore this part of the film, understand?" Explained the blue gummy bear.

"I will, but how do you get all this?" She asked.

"Lets just say I have my sources, just don't go into any detail on how" he said.

"What's your name" she asked.

"Barry, it's a pleasure of meeting you" said the blue gummy bear.

"I'm Lisa, I'm on a quest to save the rulers and my mom" she answered.

Authors note: how was this chapter? Will Lisa defeat Sherry jubilee and Clown-a- round?
