COSMO POV:
Cosmo's thoughts wandered in the stillness of the night, his mind still replaying the chaotic events of the baking session. The sound of Sprout's chuckle echoed in his memory, making his heart skip a beat. He recalled the warm touch of Sprout's hand as he helped him up from the floor, the friendly smile that spread across his face. And there was the sight of Sprout's flushed cheeks as he tried to hold back a laugh at the burnt dough on Cosmo's face, making his own face feel warm. As he lay in bed, Cosmo couldn't help but relive the moments he'd shared with Sprout. The fear from the oven catching on fire quickly melted away as he focused on the other details from that afternoon. The shared excitement of baking, the way Sprout's eyes lit up when they agreed to hold the mixer together...
A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he closed his eyes, the memories fluttering in his mind. Cosmo's thoughts continued to buzz around his head, and suddenly, he was struck by an idea. He sat up in bed, a plan going off in his mind.
Bracelets! He could make matching friendship bracelets. With a strawberry charm and a cupcake charm! That would be perfect!
Without a second thought, Cosmo quietly climbed out of his bed, careful not to make a sound. He grabbed his supplies for making the bracelets, the idea of giving it to Sprout made his heart beat speed up even more. Cosmo tiptoed through the silent building, each step bringing him closer to his goal. The thought of surprising Sprout with a handmade bracelet made him feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. He had never made a bracelet for someone else before, and the idea of it being a special gesture for Sprout filled him with both anticipation and shyness.
As he reached a spot where he could begin crafting the bracelets, Cosmo sat down and began sorting through his supplies. The materials needed for the bracelet lay in front of him, and he got to work, his hands carefully working on the project with the image of Sprout's face in his mind. Cosmo chose colors and materials that he thought would represent their friendship perfectly—a strawberry charm and a cupcake charm. Carefully, he strung beads onto the bracelet, creating a pattern that incorporated both charms. The process was a mixture of concentration and eagerness, his thoughts filled with the idea of surprising Sprout with the bracelet.
With a sense of accomplishment, Cosmo placed the finished bracelet carefully in a small box on the nightstand by his bed. He knew he would give it to Sprout tomorrow, and the anticipation made his heart flutter. Exhaustion finally caught up with him, and he laid down, closing his eyes to rest. Cosmo's peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted by the blaring sound of his alarm clock. The ringing sound jolted him awake, causing him to jump a bit. He groggily reached out and smacked the alarm to silence it.
He sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The memories of the previous night's crafting session resurfaced in his mind, and he glanced over at the box on his nightstand. Excitement and nervousness washed over him as he remembered the handmade bracelet inside. As Cosmo slowly woke up and groggily stretched, Glisten suddenly burst into the room. The sight of the cheerful circular mirror was a stark contrast to Cosmo's still sleepy state. He blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the sudden appearance of his energetic friend. Glisten, his cheerful demeanor always present, spoke up enthusiastically.
