This story is a non-cannon extension of A Change of Fate, a cookie run AU I have made. You can read it now here on Wattpad.
The sun shone brightly down upon the sand, the ocean lapping at the sore as cookies play. The sound of fun-filled laughter drifted through the air to the ears of those around, including Shroomie and Licorice, who were making a mad dash to the waterfront. Choco watched from behind, bags of clothes and a cooler in his arms.
The older skidded to a halt on the sand as he waited for his smaller sibling. His curly frosting blew into his face as he watched. Shroomie was jumping about in excitement as they watched the water flow in and out.
"Okay you two," Choco begins, placing their stuff onto the sand. "No going deeper than your hips, and Shroomie, you need a life jacket. I have one in the bag so come over here before you wander off." He unpacks the bags, hands shaking slightly. The purple menace runs over, giggling. Today was gonna be a good day.
Licorice stood at the shore, water lapping at his ankles. He hasn't been to a beach by the ocean before, but most of his memories about beaches were pretty boring. He usually was practicing water magic in a desperate attempt to make any kind of magic actually work for him, before he discovered the darker magics that he was more inclined to. Those long nights sucked. Today will be different though! He is here with Shroom, Bubblegum might come by later, and there's no pressure to do anything! Just have fun.
Everything was perfect. Nothing was wrong, nobody was dead or dying and it was strange... to Choco, at least. He can barely remember why he agreed to this let alone allow himself to relax. The kids were having so much fun already and he didn't even wanna go over to the water he was so jumpy. So weak.
But is that a bad thing? To be weak, surrounded by people who won't hurt him. Definitely conflicting.
"Shroomie! No! No mushroom party at the beach!" Licorice held the child back, who wants to have one of his "parties." With a sigh, Choco gets up to intervene.
Today will be a good day. At least, he hopes.
