Till death do us part.

Yes

——————————
Crunchy Chip had soon realised that Clotted Cream had shut up his chamber, locking himself in it. He knew that people were on to him.
Crunchy Chip had knocked on the door a couple of times, but received a kick from the other end. Well, he's mad. Serves him right. So he decided to go to Dark Cacao. With no proof. Though with what had happened to Caramel Arrow, he had to use his words carefully.
He knocked on the door. He waited for a couple moments, until the door swung open.
"Yes?"
"Your majesty. I must talk to you about something very serious." Crunchy Chip stood at the door.
"Hm...if you must. Come in." Crunchy Chip walked into the room and stood by the king.
"Your majesty. It has come to my attention that... Clotted Cream is planning something..." Dark Cacao looked at him.
"What?"
"He may not be as big as a threat than, Dark Enchantress, but he may grow to be if he is not stopped. You see, he is planning to take your soul jams. Though I may not have proof since Clotted Cream has sealed himself in his room...-"
"Then that's all the proof you need to convince me." Crunchy Chip looked at him, confused. Do I not need any more proof? If even it is?
"You see, I have also been suspicious of this Clotted Cream. I thank you for confirming my suspicion." Dark Cacao stood up, and went for the door.
"Though we should confront him. Should we not?"
"Like I have said, he has sealed himself in his room. I knocked to see if he was there and he kicked the door." Dark Cacao thought for a moment.
"Crap. Ok then, we'll confront him at the next council meeting. It's only tomorrow and he has to go." Crunchy Chip nodded.
"So, for now, go back to chamber. And I thank you again." Crunchy Chip left. We have the king on our side! We'll surely win! He rushed to Wildberry's chamber. He knocked on it quickly, and let himself.

"Great news Wildberry!" Crunchy Chip exclaimed. "Hm? You got the king?" Crunchy Chip smiled. "Yes! It didn't even take much! We are going to stop that bastard!" Wildberry smiled a little.
"Good boy." Crunchy Chip shot a look at him.
"W-WHAT?!" Crunchy Chip said, flustered. "Oh shit I said that aloud..." "To hell you did? What? You think I'm a good boy, huh?" Crunchy Chip walked to him, and went in the other cookies face. Wildberry blushed a little. "And so what if I did? You are." Crunchy Chip looked the other way. "Thanks, I guess." Wildberry felt his cheeks. They were most definitely hot. You've felt this feeling before. Only around him. You like him.

"So what's our next move?" Wildberry asked. "Nothing. We wait. Clotted Cream locked himself in his room. He knows we're onto him." Wildberry chuckled. "Well, serves him right."
"So for the meantime, we should just...wait." Wildberry nodded. "Ok... and do what, exactly?" Crunchy Chip thought for a moment. "We could get to know each other a bit more."
"Last time was a bit...Awkward. Maybe something else?"

They ended up doing absolutely nothing. Waiting for the gruelling day to end. Hollyberry came by a couple of times, making sure that Wildberry wasn't getting himself in any more trouble. She did question why Crunchy Chip was there too, but couldn't care less. So the two just sat in Wildberry's room. One was on the bed, another by the table, writing down a plan.
"So... what if we try this." Crunchy Chip passed the paper to Wildberry.
"No. How the fuck could we get to his chamber? He's locked up as you said remember?" Crunchy Chip just smiled. "Aha! I can climb, you see! I can climb to the window and look through!"
"Wouldn't he just board that up?"
"Fuck it!" He ripped the plan in two. "So nothing will work."
"We'll just have to wait."
