~ Chapter 1 ~

*sniff sniff*

Something sniffed you.

*lick*

Something licked you.

*SNIFF*

Something sniffed you intensely.

"Ugh... what..?"

*lick*

"Five more years..."

*whine* (A/N If you chose a cat as your pet, pretend this is a meow and whatever else cat-like)

"Hm..? P/N? That you?"

*cheerful bark*

"Oh, good morning..." You say softly with a tired smile, slowly opening your still-droopy eyes. You reach out with a weak hand and give head scratches to the P/T before you.
"I will never regret adopting you."

You push yourself upwards, your messy hair flopping over your face. You groan in annoyance, hating that it happens every morning, but you gotta get used to it someday.
'Even if it's already been 5 whole gosh darn years...' You thought, beginning to get up and start the day.

You grab your comb from your backpack and grab a mirror, too, swiftly taming your beastly hair. You grab a hair-tie and tie it up into your so-called 'hairstyle of-the-day!' kind of thing. You carefully place down the mirror, but carelessly throw the comb back into your backpack. You quickly change into your adventurer outfit and step outside of the tent, looking like an entirely different Cookie.

"Wow. Just breathe in that air, P/N! Isn't it new and fresh?" You ask, turning to your once-small friend. "Just like an adventure!"

You take down your tent with ease and reduce to the bag it once was.
P/N happily offers their back to carry the tent bag, and you gladly strap it onto their huge body.

"Alright! Now, who's ready for an adventure? 'Cuz I sure am!" You ask P/N, who wags their tail in response.

"And so am I!" A familiar voice calls out from behind you.

You turn around in surprise, only to come face to face with,

"Hollyberry Cookie?!"

The Ancient with the Light of Passion walked up to you and pulled you in for a hug.
"Yes, it's wonderful to see you too, Y/N Cookie! How have you been? I sure can see that P/N has been doing great since I last saw 'em! So big and strong!"

"Oh! Thanks, Hollyberry Cookie! P/N appreciates the complement, and I've been doing well! Thanks..." You smile awkwardly, still a bit fazed from her sudden 'hello'.

Hollyberry Cookie turns around and calls out: "Get on over here, Wildberry Cookie! This is Y/N Cookie here! I'm sure she'd be glad to meet you!"

"Uhm, who?" You look up at Hollyberry curiously.

"Wildberry Cookie! Jungleberry Cookie sent him with me to be my... 'bodyguard', sheesh." She said bodyguard with quite disdain, rolling her eyes.

"I'm only following orders, Your Majesty," the Cookie called 'Wildberry Cookie' stepped out of the shadows of the surrounding trees. He was awfully tall; taller than Hollyberry Cookie, believe it or not, as crazy as it seemed.

"Oh well! It's all in the past now! We have a dragon to hunt!"

"A- woah, whahahat?" You stuttered, staring in disbelief at Hollyberry Cookie. It did make sense, though; her usual outfit was entirely different! Nothing like the usual bright pink dress she had.

"Yes! A dragon. It's been said that a legendary Red Dragon has been burning down the villiages throughout Dragons Valley! I believe it might be our old friend, the Greenish Red Dragon," Hollyberry explained, a serious tone replacing her normal cheery one.
