New feelings, New Enemy // Cookie Run Fanfiction //

Rough situation (Ch. 3)

This is where the angst starts.
I'll be putting a small summary at the end of each chapter in case some of you can't handle it. Please enjoy!

GingerBrave burst in, calling for Strawberry and Wizard as soon as he made his entrance. They came running down the stairs, swiftly meeting him at the last step.

"What's going on? Why is everything shaking?!"

"I don't know! It just started so suddenly."

"It stops here and there.. Are they.. footsteps!"

Strawberry panicked mentally to the thought that something could be so gigantic that it could make this kind of noise.

"But GingerBrave, what could even be that big to cause everything to shake like its an earthquake?!"

The three looked at each other in horror as the pattern of the rumbling started becoming much more familiar. Could it be?

Earlier that day..

"Chili! Push me higher!"

"Okay, okay- Geez.."

Custard was giggling on and on as he swung forward and backward on the churro swing. There were three in fact, one beside the other in a line. The first two were used by GingerBrave and Strawberry most of the time, but the third one was meant for Wizard. He only used it when no one was looking since he preferred to keep his mature reputation, so Custard would swing on it from time to time.

"What's so entertaining about swings anyway?"

Chili asked, pushing him higher on the swing as he yelled in excitement.

"It's about the air in your hair and the great view you get when you reach the highest point! Or the feeling of flying, Pancake especially enjoys the swing because of that!"

Chili Pepper smiled. As time fled, she and Custard got to hang out a lot more; they've become great friends and did harmless pranks together to the cookies in the kingdom. Other cookies, like Cherry, Pancake himself, and more, would often join them as well. They would argue a lot other times, but that argument would be immediately forgotten the moment they laugh together at something probably really stupid.

"Hey, you're still up for that one prank on Almond Cookie, right?"

"I have thought very long on the idea, and no, a king would never EVER do such a thing to one of his loyal subjects!"

Chili Pepper stopped pushing him and looked at him in betrayal as if he had donated her coin bags to charity. Custard almost fell off the very swing; his face would've met the dirt if he didn't hang on the rope.

"So.. Is that a yes or no?"

"Do you really think so unruly of me!?"

She stood there, her eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment.

"It's a yes, of course. Come on! We have to meet the others in the forest!"

She smirked and held his hand, leading him to the spot they and the other cookies joining in on the prank decided on to continue the planning. Their quiet, yet for some reason loud, footsteps along with the sound of the green grass getting squished, leaving small footprints for each step they took.
