Crispmas Carol [Cookie run]

Chapter Three - Last Crispmas

Wizard cookie anxiously searched his room. He looked through his closet, behind the bookshelves, and even under his bed, using a candle to light his way.

When finding nothing out of the ordinary, he scoffed and placed the candle on the desk before laying on his bed. "Spirits" he scoffed, "yeah right..."

He fixed his nightcap before blowing the candle out. He tucked himself under the covers And quickly went to sleep.

But after 30 minutes, his room began to feel as cold as the tundra. The chilliness felt like it was piercing his soul stone. He twisted, turned, and shivered at every passing second "i-its so cold" he stuttered under his breath.

But as he opened his eye and stood up from his pillow. He saw a bright white figure staring down right beside him. he jumped to the back of his bed frame holding onto his blanket tight "WHO ARE YOU!?" he yelled

"I am the Ghost of Crispmas past, here to show you how Crispmas was like for you in your youth"

"Youth? I'm still young- wait" he did a double take as he processed the shape of this spirit "Snow Sugar cookie!?"

"I am not your friend, I can assure you" their voice spoke softly and they held out their arm "take my hand"

[Visual by me: twt; @ZCakezzz]

"... how do I know this isn't a trick...?" he slowly pulled up the blanket to his chin

"We are only here to help you, and within this state, you cannot be hurt physically"

"What's with this "state"? Sherbert cookie said something about that"

"We wanted to make sure you wouldn't hurt yourself with your magic"

Wizard cookie stared down at their hand and hesitantly held it in his. It was cold to the touch but not enough to freeze him.

"So... where are we going...?"

"We're going to visit your past, of course!" they both began to float, wizard cookie was taken by surprise, and he dropped his blanket as they led him out of the open bedroom window.

Flying into the sky, he noticed that the kingdom was empty, the town only had 4 buildings, the clock tower and the train station were being worked on. The forest was still present with lots of trees in the area and the trade harbor hasn't even been built yet.

They took him to the end of the kingdom's underdeveloped neighborhood and landed near a frost-covered window,

"Is... this my old house...?" He looked around the neighborhood and then back at the spirit

"Yes, this is how you first celebrated Crispmas" the spirit signaled him to look through the window. He rubbed his sleeve onto it so he can get a better view of the inside. As he did, he saw his roommates and friends near the fireplace. He saw himself sitting with his face dug into a book, Chili pepper cookie sat on one of the couches, and GingerBrave, Pancake cookie, and Custard cookie III were surrounding Strawberry cookie who was sitting on the couch with a device in hand
