"What are you going to be when you grow up and why?" The teacher stated to her kindergarten class, "Now, does everyone have their answers?"
The class raised their hands, "Alright, now let's see, who should I call first?"
She gazed around the class and eventually laid her eyes on one little cookie.
"Frozen Cabbage Cookie! Come to the front of the class!"
The little four-year-old boy, Frozen Cabbage complied and went to the front of the class.
"Now, tell us, what are you going to be when you grow up and why?"
"When I grow up, I'm going to be the richest cookie on earthbread!"
His class giggled, "oh ok! And why?" Said his teacher.
"I'm going to be the richest cookie so I can help earthbread and make it a better place with my money!"
His teacher smiled as the class laughed, "You're a special little cookie, Frozen Cabbage, mark my words, one day you will make earthbread a better place!" She encouraged him lightheartedly.
He grinned as the class and his teacher clapped.
*Nine years later*
------------------------------------------------
*RIIIIIIINNNNGGGG*
Middle school had finished, and the streets grew busy as parents were driving to pick up their kids, the ones who didn't have a ride flooded the snowy downtown sidewalks, among those was a certain cookie who had stopped to hear a cookie playing the piano.
He swayed side to side until he started dancing to the piano, not paying mind to the people walking by, and then...
"HEY, THERE HE IS!" shouted a cookie, the cookie turned around and saw a group of three cookies who looked as old as him, running towards his direction, "Oh no."
The cookie bolted at the sight of the group of three, "STOP HIM!" one of them shouted, and a wild goose chase commenced.
The cookie had no choice but to cross the road, he ran to the road and was honked at by a car that barely ran him over, "STOP HIM!" one of the cookies chasing him shouted again.
The cookie was still far away from his house, he just had to make it to the train station! But then...
*CRASH* he slipped on the snow and fell, landing hard on the ground, right in front of the doors of a bar.
The group of three cookies took advantage of this, two of them started repeatedly kicking him while he was down, while the biggest of the three went through his backpack.
"Kick his ass."
"Come on, harder!"
"I found the money, let's go, let's go."
The three ran away, laughing as the cookie lay there in pain, breathing heavily as snow kept falling.
He lay there for a bit longer, facing upwards until he noticed the outer edges of his vision darkened, he blinked once and found himself no longer looking up at the cloudy sky, but instead saw complete darkness, suddenly, something came into view.
He saw a face, a face with one blue eye, with the other one replaced with a patch that had a snowflake-like design on it, and a gaping hole for a smile, he felt weird, the face made a motion, as if ready to speak when the cookie heard the *creek* of a door.
