Cosmo hummed a happy tune to himself as he took the freshly baked cookies out of the oven."Mmm!~ They smell so good! I bet Sprout is gonna be so proud when he realizes I-"Cosmo was interrupted by the feeling of something hard beneath his foot. Carefully, he sets the hot tray of cookies onto the counter and lifts his foot up curiously to see what was there."Huh? Isn't that Sprout's friendship bracelet..?" Cosmo thinks to himself as he picks up the broken bracelet. Inspecting it, an idea pops into his head as a smile makes its way across his face.


Cosmo was now sprinting down the hallway towards Sprout's room, a cheeky grin on his face. "Sprout, Sprout! Come out here, I found your bracelet!" Cosmo exclaims gleefully, now knocking on the strawberry's bedroom door.


No response.


"I know you're probably a little upset about it being broken, but we can fix it together! C'mon, come outside!" Cosmo yells again, his voice starting to shake nervously. He looks around, inspecting his surroundings for anything that seemed off. To his dread, the room seemed to have darkened. Cosmo nervously looks down at his feet, and reality hits him like a train.A puddle of Ichor. Right beneath his feet.Before Cosmo had a chance to react, a large tendril rose up from the puddle and grabbed Cosmo by the legs, its grip so tight that it felt like his bones would shatter. Cosmo screamed in terror and pain as he was dragged down into the puddle, and in an instant, everything was silent again.
