Chapter 12: The Pumpkin Monster

On their way, they saw giant lollipops, candy trees, and pistachio grass. But they were questioned looking at them because all those were half eaten and looked so weird. They continued their way and soon reached a small village of Cocoa tribe. All the houses there were made with Oreo. They saw a big Oreo house and knocked on its door. A lady wearing candy jewelry, a small frosted milk crown, and a brown gown opened the door. She seemed to be the Chief of the tribe. She was the wife of the Chief of the tribe.

"Hello princesses, how can I help you? Please come in." The lady said. 

"Sorry, we are in hurry. We are here to ask you something. Princess Cookie fell in that tunnel and..." And so Fruity narrated everything to the Lady.

 "So can you just tell us the way to the den?" She asked. 

"My husband knows about it, but he is not in the village today. He is going to come tomorrow. But wait; what you want would be in his register." The lady immediately went inside and brought his book. She found out and told them, "From here go left, and after some time you will see the board. Take the road where the board points danger. And you will see a big door made with branches, enter there and you will be inside the den." 

"Thank you so much, but why all these lollipops and trees are looking like this?" Fruity asked. 

"I don't know, in these days some creatures are eating all these up." The lady replied. 

"Hey Candy, remember your magic? You can repair these all." Milky said. 

"Yeah, I can, wait..." Candy thought. 

"Candy Can crash..." As she said this waving her hands towards the trees, a pink ray started generating from her hand, and in a moment, all the trees got recovered.

Everyone was delighted to see that. Candy saw someone running from the bushes. 

"What was that?" She asked. They followed it and saw some candies fallen there.

 "So whoever it was, it was the one who was destroying the forest," Fruity said. They followed the candies fallen on the ground and came in front of a jelly cave. They waited for some time and then the jelly bears out from it.

 "So why are you all destroying the forest?" Milky asked them.

 "W-we are not destroying the forest. We are tired of drinking milk and our sweets are all finished. That's why we are just filling our stomachs and we are just eating a bit from the forest." A jelly bear said in a cute thin voice. "Yeah, we can see you all have eaten very little, right?" Candy giggled.

"Fruity you can help them!" Milky said. "Yeah, I can help you all. Bring some fruits towards me." Fruity said. The bears brought the fruits towards her.

 "Fruity fruit dish doo..." As Fruity said this, colorful rays started generating from her hands, and when they saw that every fruit was made a delicious dish. 

"So here you go bears, from apples I have made Butterfinger apple nachos. From Strawberries, I have made strawberry rose cupcakes. From berries, I have made Brownie berries dessert. From bananas, I have made banana pudding and from mangoes, I have made Chilled mango cheesecake. These will fill your stomachs more than a year." Fruity explained them.

 "Thank you, princess, we will not eat anything from the forest now." A small jelly bear said taking a bite of banana pudding.

"Ok, so we shall leave now," Milky said waving goodbye to them. They went to the den as the chief's wife told them the way. They reached in front of the door of branches and entered inside. They walked slowly and searched for Cookie.

Here Bourbon, Cherry, and Oreo jumped into the tunnel and closed their eyes tightly. As they reached the den, they also started searching for Cookie. After some time, the six met and together started searching.

 "This den is really big, where would be Cookie?" Fruity asked.

 "There she is..." Milky said pointing towards Cookie walking at the other side of the den. She was finding a way to get out from there. They called her and hugged her.

 "I knew guys that you would come to save me." Cookie said smiling. 

"So let's go out from here," Milky said. Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. The monster came running shaking the ground.

 "You all silly creatures, how dare you all to come in my den!!?" He shouted. 

All got frightened. Cookie started saying her magical words, "Cookie powder storm stoop..." As she said this waving her hands round and round, a storm of chocolate powder hit the den.

They all came in a corner and the pumpkin monster was unable to see anything through the storm. 

"What are we going to do now?" Bourbon asked loudly.

 "You don't worry... Cherry will manage." Milky said smiling. As the storm stopped, they came out and the monster got more furious. Before he could do anything, Cherry took out a picture and showed it in front of him. As soon as he saw the picture, he started shading tears looking at it. 

"What happened to him?" Candy asked. 

"Why is he crying?" Cookie asked.

 "It is the picture of his mother Pompeii. I will tell you everything, but now let's leave." Cherry said. They all ran from there and came outside. They reached the ice cream castle and told everything to the King and queen.

"My dear daughters, I am delighted to see you all safe. You passed in your exam." King said with a proud smile.

 "Yeah father, but Cherry tell us now why was the pumpkin monster crying?" Oreo asked Cherry. 

"It was the picture of his mother Pompeii. He gets emotional when he sees that picture because his mother is in prison of our castle" Cherry replied.

 "Yes father, I think his mother should be relieved from the prison," Milky said. "Yeah, you are right. We shall relieve her now. Because of killing queen Lido, she was punished to be in jail for 14 years. Now she should be released." The queen said.

So, King ordered to release of Pompeii and she should live in the den with his son Pumpkin. 

From that day, Pumpkin monster and his mother Pompeii lived happily in their den.
