3rd person POV:

"Guys, we're here!" the curtain to the carriage front opened quickly. "Really?!" Creampuff jumped from the spot she was sitting from, next to Herb who was looking at his journal.

Madeleine was talking to the guards at the gates while the carriage was a few paces from the entrance.

"Ah, there you guys are, earlier than I expected, they're with me." Espresso walked towards the guards from somewhere within the City of Dough. The guards quickly moved out of the way from previously blocking it as a precaution. You never knew these days so you couldn't blame them.

"Come on guys! We're being let in!"

Black Raisin jumped out to the front to lead the horses along with Parfait, to the inside, scaring the horses a bit. The City of Dough was much more advanced than their kingdom, though it isn't much of a revelation considering it was older and more expanded.

Creampuff peered out the curtains with Latte as Herb went to join the two opposites leading the horses.

Espresso motioned for Parfait and she happily went to greet him, leaving Black Raisin and Herb. Madeleine quickly took her place to lead the horses. You could barely notice it but Black Raisins' figure slackened when Parfait went to talk with Espresso.

3rd Person Parfait POV:

"Hey Espresso Cookie! I'm so glad to see you finally!" Parfait energetically greeted but was still formal with him. "That should be my line, I'm glad to see you and the group came successfully and safely, early as well." He looked relatively relieved even though he knew they were a strong group and that the road he chose was the safest out of all of them.

"I'm glad we're early, we can see some places and get a better feel for this place!" "Yes, it works out in my favor as well, there are some parts I need assistance on that are a bit unclear." Parfait had gotten Espresso Cookie to help out with planning as he was much better with that stuff than anyone she knew. Well, he offered his assistance seeing as he was much less busy than he usually was, nothing to do with hearing Madeleine would be tagging along.

"I'd be happy to clear up some things, but we should settle down for now." Parfait was now trailing slightly behind Espresso, with a straightened back, knowing he was leading them to the hotel. Seeing as they had already planned this part. 

3rd person Creampuff POV:

Looking out in nostalgia at the city, she honestly missed the city a lot but it felt good to be a part of the growing Kingdom. She learned tons of more magic and grew more as a wizard. She didn't notice the slight stares from passing cookies directed towards the carriage.

It was making dark brown tracks on the hard yellow dough road.

"Latte! Look!" Creampuff said, pointing at a spoon & tea shop. Creampuff quickly added, "We should go there once we have free time!" "I wonder what types of tea they have there," Latte responded with a smile on her face.

Herb was also looking at the passing shops and tall buildings. Especially at the balconies with pots and plants, having a couple of hundred ideas and a warm smile.

A few minutes passed and now Herb had his notepad out scribbling words as they were moving quicker. Creampuff was at the back facing out towards the road, Latte was now talking to Madeleine and Black Raisin Cookie.

"Ah, I believe we're close!" Madeleine declared, looking at the smaller map of the city. Black Raisin looked towards Espresso, whom of which was on the sidewalk with Parfait, for confirmation of this. He curtly nodded, confirming that they were close to the hotel, receiving a small smile from Black Raisin.

After a few more minutes passed, now with Parfait on one of the horses to lead them more head-on, considering the fact the roads got twister at some point. And Latte chatting up a storm with Espresso. They had arrived at the hotel they'd be staying at for the next 3-ish days. 

It took some time to find a place to put the carriage, considering that it was a carriage. And the small parking area wasn't made for carriages. And it was one of those leveled parking areas so the bottom level was full. So they had to hold onto everything as they went up the ramp to the next level, so it didn't all fall out.

Once they got through with all of that, Espresso and Parfait went in first to check-in while the others began getting everything out since the carriage had no locks or anything. 

3rd person Parfait POV: (this parts is a bit boring so it doesn't really need to be read)

When they walked in, the duo was flooded with an earthy scent mixed heavily with fresh laundry. Which wasn't much of a surprise considering that there were plenty of plants and flowers in the lobby, and probably the entire hotel. 

They both silently went to the front desk where a cookie sat, typing away on the computer. Only noticing their presence when Espresso tapped on the bell.

"Hello, what can I do for you today?" Their hands had momentarily stopped typing to easily hear them. "We'd like to check-in," "Your names?" They redirected their attention to the screen, listening, "Espresso and Parfait Cookie." "3 double rooms?" Parfait nodded, they had already discussed that one person was going to be sleeping in the same bed as another person, so there was only a need for 3.

The group walked in as Parfait had gotten the keys, Espresso reminding who was with who as she handed them out to everyone.

"Hm, I'm excited to see the rooms, what about you, Herb?" Creampuff chirped up next to Herb as they began going up the stairs to the rooms. "I'm sure they will be wonderful!" Herb responded with a smile, his mood brightening even more than it had when he saw the impressive amount of plants. They continued chatting until they all got into their respective rooms.
