----------------------------------------------------

Dark Cacao Cookie, Dark Choco Cookie, and a select few other Cacaoians visit the Hollyberry kingdom to attend a party. The king and the young prince arrive in their finest vestments and armor. Dark Cacao goes off with Hollyberry somewhere, leaving Dark Choco alone in this ballroom of mostly strangers.

Dark Choco takes a seat at one of the tables fringing the room, watching couples elegantly dance on the ballroom's dance floor. Dark Choco is hesitant to approach anyone since he doesn't know any of the other cookies there. He looks around the room while he gathers his courage. Among all the bright-haired guests, Dark Choco spots a familiar brown haired cookie in the crowd.

"Is that... no... wait- is it..?" Dark Choco thinks to himself, continually second-guessing himself. He stares at the oddly familiar cookie, hoping to confirm his suspicions on who they may be. The cookie turns repeatedly as if they're searching for something. Eventually, they turn towards Dark Choco, taking immediate notice of him. Sure enough, it was Caramel Arrow Cookie. She waves at him before eagerly approaching.

Dark Choco waves back and gets up from his seat while he prepares to greet her. "Caramel Arrow Cookie...! I didn't expect to see you here." He smiles, visibly happy to see her. Dark Choco always enjoyed Caramel Arrow's presence, so it was a pleasure seeing her here.

"When I heard you were coming, I just knew I had to go too! We came a little late though, my father was taking a while to get ready." she chuckled. Dark Choco takes a quick look at Caramel Arrow's dress before looking her in the eyes. "You look beautiful.." He says with a very genuine tone, blushing a bit. "Oh..." Caramel Arrow gets a little red. "Thank you! You look amazing too.." Caramel Arrow starts to feel butterflies in her stomach.

It soon gets quiet between the two. They both share looks of nervousness and uncertainty, but still somewhat smiling since they still enjoyed being there with each other. Dark Choco looks over at the couples dancing once again, Caramel Arrow briefly glances at them too. Caramel Arrow grips her sleeve and raises her shoulder a bit as she turns her attention back to Dark Choco. Dark Choco takes a deep breath whilst he prepares to ask a question that's been on his mind.

Dark Choco bows and offers a hand to Caramel Arrow. "Would you like to dance with me...?" It's a little awkward for him to be asking this, seeing they're just friends. However, Dark Choco really wanted someone to dance with, and he couldn't wish for a better cookie to do that with other than his best friend, Caramel Arrow Cookie.

Caramel Arrow playfully smirks and takes his hand. "Sure, but I've never done this before.." she smiles lightheartedly, trying to not bring too much attention to the romantic undertones of the situation.

Dark Choco smiles wholesomely, "It's alright, just follow my lead." Dark Choco grabs her hand and gently guides her towards the ballroom dance floor. He then turns around to face her, and carefully places his other hand on her hip. Caramel Arrow rests her freehand on his shoulder to follow.

They slowly begin dancing. Caramel Arrow tries her best to maintain her confidence despite the obvious romantic tension. They steadily start to feel more comfortable as they get lost in the moment, now staring deeply into each other's eyes.

The moment abruptly ends when Caramel Arrow gasps as she trips over her own feet. Caramel Arrow tightly grabs onto Dark Choco's upper arms in a desperate attempt to save herself, Dark Choco hastily grabs her by the waist and catches her as she nearly falls to the ground. He pulls her back onto her feet and gives her a bit of space.

Dark Choco asks with concern and slight panic, "S-Sorry-.. Are you ok?!"

"Yeah... Sorry about that.." Caramel Arrow sighs out of embarrassment and takes a small step closer to him.

It gets silent for a moment. "Would you like to....?" Caramel Arrow nods. She takes another step closer to him, resting her hands on his shoulders once again. Dark Choco gently places a hand on her waist. They lean into each other; their faces are noticeably closer than they were when they first started dancing. Somehow being this close felt natural to them now, but just before they're able to start dancing again, they're interrupted by a deep, familiar voice.

"Dark Choco Cookie." Dark Cacao approaches them. Dark Choco and Caramel Arrow quickly pull away from each other in urgency and slight humiliation.

Dark Cacao seemingly isn't too phased by what the two of them were doing before he came up to them. speaks sternly, "Come, your presence is needed." Dark Choco's face turns to one of disappointment before nodding in agreement. He and his father begin walking away, Dark Choco turns around to see Caramel grasping her skirt and gently waving goodbye to him with a cute, soft smile. Dark Choco smiles with a little redness in his cheeks as he waves back.
