"You're very sure of this.. aren't you?" Hollyberry Cookie thought it over and soon smiled. "Very well then. It's settled! Let's work together, Holly!!!

"Yeah!!!!" Holly smiled back.

All of a sudden, the school bell rang and Holly had to get to her next class. Hollyberry Cookie noticed this.

"You'd better get going, Holly! You don't want to be late, do you?"

"Oh shoot, you're right!" She panicked, standing up and collecting her bag off of the floor. "Will we meet again?"

"You know it!" Hollyberry Cookie waved as she ran off.

Holly's adrenaline rushed as she sprinted to class, she managed to get to Gina and Dorian, almost tripping again but Dorian caught her.

"Woah! Holly! Are you okay? How fast were you running?" Dorian asked.

Holly stood up from Dorian's arms, rubbing her hand behind her neck. "I'm fine.. I just got distracted and lost track of time!"

"I'm not surprised!" Gina teased. "You do get distracted by flowers easily here!"

"Hey!!" Holly laughed. The other two laughed with her.

Lunch time hit and Parker thought it would be a good time to finally tell Holly what was going on. She was very good at keeping secrets, so he knew he could trust her. They were behind a wall in the outdoor area, when most kids were playing football or chatting.

"So Parker, how's telling Willow how you feel going?" Holly smirked.

"One, I do NOT have a crush on her." Parker mumbled as his face turned red. "Two, this is completely different!!!"

"Well, if it's not your daydreams... what is it?"

"Um.. It's easier if I show you.." Parker took the Ancient Tome out of his bag and showed it to Holly.

"Isn't that the book you're writing, Parker? Do you need ideas?" Holly asked, marvelling at the details.

"No.. it's-" Parker couldn't finish his sentence as the sky soon went dark, which distracted them.

"Huh? The weather people didn't say it would rain today! Should've brought an umbrella.." Holly sighed.

"I don't think that's rain, Holly.." Parker warned her as they both peeked through the wall to see.. CROCUS!

Crocus was standing in the air, watching kiddies play their football.

"This is stupid." Crocus snarked. "Why would you want to play with a ball of all things?" He soon sighed. "I'm here to drain passion, so that's what I'll do!"

Crocus lifted up his claw and soon started chanting. "Dark magic heed my call, drain the passion out of them all!" Slowly but surely, people's passion were drained, and they were sitting on the ground covered in a pink haze.

"N- no way.." Holly mumbled. Parker handed her the Ancient Tome.

"Hold onto this, okay?" Parker asked as he handed her the tome before running off to Crocus.

"Hold on-" Holly pleaded, but he was already on his way.

Parker sprinted up to Crocus, getting his Cookie Pact out while running. He soon stopped once he reached him.

"Stop what you're doing now! Can't you see you're hurting people?" Parker demanded.

Crocus smirked at him. "Oh hello, you. Cookie kid! You'd better show me some strength! I may spare you!"

"You're on!"

Parker opened the cookie pact. "𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫!" He soon placed the charm in as well. "𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐄!!!!"

After his transformation, he did his epic pose.
"𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚!"

"WHAT THE HECK?" Holly looked flabbergasted.

"Yeah.. this is what I wanted to tell you, Holly!" Pure Vanilla chuckled sheepishly.

"Cool!!" Her face changed to glee. "I'm cheering you on from here!!"

Crocus scoffed, putting on a dominant facade. "Heh, so you've brought a little friend along with you? You know what they say, two is better than one.. TO DESTROY!"

"The only destruction you will face is the destruction of your ego after the light of truth puts you in your place!"

"You're oddly sassy! Just know I WILL beat you before you can say anything!" Crocus scoffed. "Scale beam, attack!!!!"

He sent his beams to attack Pure Vanilla, most dodged.

"Grr.. you're good. Too good. Take THIS!" He used some dark magic and trapped him inside a magic circle.
