He didn't want to go, no. To him, it was the worst fucking thing in the world. It was also obvious to him also that that devil of a cookie liked him, which he absolutely disliked. Black mailing for love, huh? How clichè. Yet, it's working.
It was 8:30, just half an hour left. There wasn't much to do, but mingle with other cookies that shared no interests with you. Hollyberry, once again, was drinking to her hearts content. So that left him with one more option.
"Hey Crunchy Chip." Wildberry sat next to Crunchy Chip, who was feasting on a bear jelly burger. God those things are good.
"Chewy...kinda sweet...you don't get this kinda things back at my place, yeah." Crunchy Chip said to himself. He then looked beside him.
"Oh! Hey Wildberry! Pal! How've you been? I see you've been getting along with Clotted Cream! He's such a good guy, isn't he? Boy your so lucky!" Wildberry just stared at him. Your so clueless.
"...No." he simply just said. Not like he could say any more, could he? He looked around. At the buildings, in the crowds. No sign of Clotted Cream.
"What do you mean...No." Crunchy Chip mimicked him. "I mean he's not all that good. He's bad news. Don't be fooled by his good looks-" "Looks like someone has a crush!" Crunchy Chip exclaimed, a small, tiny tint of sadness could be heard. Crap.
"No. No. I do not like whatever he is. No- please, you must listen to me! He is not good! He is not planning good things and might bring us down-"
"What you guys talking about?" Clotted Cream plopped himself by Wildberry, smiling. Shit. SHIT SHIT SHIT. How much did he hear? Wildberry began to sweat profusely. What would he do if he heard? Leak it to everyone? What would happen next? Would he be banished from the Hollyberry Kingdom? Would cookies think of him as violent? Would he dislike him?
"Oh! We were just talking about how delicious these bear jelly burgers are!" Crunchy Chip got the memo. He knew something was up. He took another bite and smiled at Clotted Cream. Clotted Cream paid no attention. His attention was all on Wildberry.
"It's 8:55. Might as well head up now." Clotted Cream got up, holding out his hand for Wildberry to take. Wildberry reluctantly took it, and boy; if he could, he would've ripped the hand. Right out of the socket. "Oh so sorry, Crunchy Chip. But me and Wildberry have some matters to talk about!" He waved at the other cookie.
"Uh...you sure?" Crunchy Chip asked. He gets it. Oh my god, he gets it.
"What do you mean? We are just going to discuss some matters. That all." Clotted Cream said rather impatiently. Wait. If Crunchy Chip gets it, then he is bound to know also. I messed up.
"I don't know...me and Wildberry were talking about matters ourselves. So-" "Me and Wildberry had arranged a time to meet each other. Now if you please-" Crunchy Chip grabbed Wildberry's arm.
"I feel like our conversation is more important." Crunchy Chip insisted. At this point, it was guaranteed that Clotted Cream knew he knew. He was making it too obvious.
"Now, I don't know what suspicions you have of us," he walked up to Crunchy Chip, bending down to his height, "But I can assure you, we are only talking about what could make this world a better place. What our next move could be to take down Dark Enchantress and bring it to the Council table. As we are sending Expeditions to Beast-yeast, we will be deciding who will attend it." Clotted Cream said, his anger showing. Holy shit, this cookie is annoying.
"Ah," Crunchy Chip got up, finishing his mouthful of food. "You've forgotten. We talked about who will be doing the expedition. And now, I am more than sure that you will not be discussing important matters." HE GETS IT!
"My dear, Crunchy Chip. All I want to do is discuss an issue that has come to my attention from the Hollyberry Kingdom. And since, well- Wildberry is from the Hollyberry Kingdom, I thought it would be great if I can discuss it with him. Hollyberry, sadly, is a little too under the weather to attend. I was going to invite her too, you know. But now that I have explained, we really must get going." Clotted Cream pulled on Wildberry.
"Oh. I see. Ok then. Sorry for all of the trouble." Crunchy Chip apologised. And it looked like he really meant it. So close.
