Lovely and Sweet

"NOOOOOOO WAY! WOW! COOKIES??!" You were a bit confused by the Bear Jelly that had a crown but you guessed that he and the Bear Jellies haven't really met with cookies before. He then continued, "It is soooo nice to finally meeeeet you!" Custard Cookie III grins, "And who might you be?"

Bear Jelly Villager giggle, "Weee are the cute and hap-hap-haaaaaappy Bear Jellies! Weee make Beeear Jellies in our village!" Then the cute Bear Jelly questioned, "Waaait! Why are you so flaaat and thin! By any chincety-chance... Are you huuuuungry?" You blinked, "Eh? Um..." You looked down at yourself, 'Am I that thin?'

GingerBrave chuckled, "But... We're always flat. This is what Cookies look like, he he!" Then the Bear Jelly with the crown which you just call him Bear Prince shook his head, "This wooon't do! Coome, and have some Bear Jellies with uuus!" You hum a bit, "I guess it wouldn't hurt to try..." You thought to yourself, 'I'm not sure how long I was passed out...'

Then the Bear Jellies lead you and the group to a table to eat some food. You guys happily ate.

GingerBrave yells cheerfully, "These are the best!" Wizard nodded, "I have NEVER tasted Bear Jellies like that! Wow! Totally amazing craftsmanship! Kudos!"

Chili Pepper laughs, "Yeah, that ol' Pointy Hat's way of sayin' "MORE"!" Wizard cookie pouts and you gently Pat his back and Custard Cookie III whines, "I-I want more as well!" Strawberry Cookie nodded but looks down, "Gee... Me too... But I'm like, super-stuffed." Bear Prince cheerfully asked, "So why doooon't we take a tiddly-widdly tour 'round the village? It'll HELP your digestion-y! PROMISE!"

After the tour where you mostly headpat the Bear Jellies who were more then happy to accept your head pats. Bear Jelly Prince looked to you and the group, asking, "Oooh, where did the reeed cookie friend gooo?" You paused and looked around, "Hm? How come I didn't notice before?"

"Me?"

Then Chili Pepper Cookie jumped out from behind you, "Oh, I couldn't help but, y'know, check out your storage situation, and snatch me some more Bo-Dacious Bear Jellies!" You sigh and cross your arms, "So that's where you were the whole time..." Bear Jelly Prince smiled, "I see!" Then Chili Pepper Cookie pouts, "But! The storage was empty!" You sigh, "Maybe next time? But no stealing..." Chili Pepper Cookie pouts even more at your words.

Then one of the Bear Villagers shouted with worry, "Oh nooo! That's because our special Royal Jelly caaaarrige didn't arrive!" You turn concerned and the Bear Jelly Prince gasp, "Thaaaat's ill neeews!" He turned to the group, "Without Royal Jellies, we can't make our Bear Jellies." You then asked, "We can help." GingerBrave grins, agreeing with you, "Yeah! We can help you out since you guys treated us to such a splendid dinner!"

Bear Jelly Prince had a hopeful expression, "Thank you! And please, if you happen to meet our Beeeear Jelly workers? Rescue them!" You nodded and left with the group.

-timeskip-

You guys have been walking down the path, but heard shouts of what seems to be a small short person, "I'LL NEVER EAT THOSE HORRID, HORRIBLE BEAR JELLIES! NO SIRREEE!" You and the group ran over to see what's happening to only see a suspicious cookie which you guessed had a grin, "Well, well, well, what a picky eater we have here! Then how about a nice refreshing SWIM!?" The suspicious cookie cackles as the Sugar Gnome shouted, "Oh, rest assured, I can endure that- and so much, much more!"

Then the cookie tilts his head, "That so? Then how about..." He took out a bottle of milk, "SOME MILK???? Milk of such pure, angel-white luxuriousness, it'll MELT all your precious sugars away, huh?" Then the Sugar Gnome panicked, "M-Milk? You WOULDN'T! You COULDN'T! NO! I BEG YOU!" Then GingerBrave had enough and shouted  "What's the deal, here? Leave that Sugar Gnome alone!"

The cookie turns to the group, "Rah, intruders!" You then shouted to the Gnome, "Don't worry! We'll help you!"

After fighting the suspicious cookie and his minions since I dunno how it works I guess maybe a later time, you untied the Sugar Gnome and saw that he had a sugary beard, "I can't thank you enough, precious young ones!" (Hm, young ones, so that means wholesome ones unless you guys have more info to share ;-;, not that far into the game btw, me new) The Sugar Gnome then cheerful says, "My names Maestro Sugar Gnome!"

You then asked in worry, "Can you tell us what happened?" Maestro explained, "So... I'm smack-dab in the middle of enjoying my well-deserved, incredibly fun-fillrf retirement trip. But then those horrid Cake Monsters appeared- AND GNOME-NAPPED ME! They even made me eat those super-yucky Bear Jellies! Duppiti-POO! Then that monster, he, he wanted to- to- JOIN UP!" Wizard Cookie nodded, "Yeah, we're 100% positively sure we've seen those no-good Jelly Brains before! WAIT!" He then asked with worry, "Does um... Eating one transform you into one of The Cake Monsters?"

Then Strawberry Cookie turned concern, "Maybe that's what happened to those poor Bear Jelly workers!" Maestro nodded, "Indeedy-o, something terribky-terriblo must've happened to them!" Then GingerBrave shouted with determination, "That's it. We gotta save 'em!" You nodded and stood up, "But I'll take Maestro somewhere safe. You guys can go find the Bear Jelly workers." The group nod and leave though some didn't want to. You then gently picked up Maestro, "Don't worry. Me will bring you somewhere safe so those guys won't have to bother you."

Maestro smiled, "Ah, why thank you."
