The clock's ticking rubbed it in at how boring the situation was. Someone clearly forgot to put some deoderant on, as their sweat stank up the room, the cringy music wasn't helping either.

There were some minutes left until the test was over and Parker turned to Willow, who zoned out looking at her test papers which she finished ages ago. But if she told the teacher that, he'd just tell her to read it over even though she had done a thousand times. Parker turned back round to his own finished test and something clicked in his mind, an unpleasant reminder. He started feeling a bit upset about something to do with the Cookie Force.

He couldn't tell Willow, the one person he would have told straight away. They both knew everything about each other thus they were able to tell each other all their secrets. But this was one he had to keep, for earthbread's sake and his own.

After a few more minutes, the timer finally went off and the bell rang at the same time, letting out a pretty horrible sound. This got Parker out of his thoughts.

"Aaalright class!" The teacher announced. "Time's up! please leave your tests on my desk and make sure you have your name on them!"

Students were now running out of the classroom, papers flying onto the teacher's desk. Parker and the others packed their things up and left, carefully placing their tests on the desk as well.

—-Dark Enchantress Cookie's lair..—-

"You keep failing me.." Dark Enchantress Cookie groaned. "I can't trust you with someone or on your own. Now there's two of those brats and not a single one for me yet.."

"Dark Enchantress Cookie.. Forgive me! I'll show you that I will defeat the Cookie Force if it's the last thing I do!"

"The last thing YOU would ever do is take a bath. You reek of body odour." A voice was heard in the distance, itching closer and closer. It was Dark Pomegranate's voice. But she wasn't alone. In her arms was a child with curly purple hair and dark skin. They looked no older than seven.

"Hiiii!" The kid waved at everyone.

"Aw come on! Now a kid is helping me?" Crocus groaned.

"Oh, Dark mushroom!" Dark Enchantress Cookie clapped her hands slowly but joyfully. "Just in time.. Would you care to join Crocus in trying to stop those Cookie Force brats?"

"Okay!" Dark Mushroom was put down from Dark Pomegranate's careful arms. He dashed over to Crocus' side,

"No failing this time, Crocus." Dark Enchantress Cookie sneered.

-----

At break, Parker and the others were sitting at a table talking to each other.

"Have you heard?" Gina asked. "There's a new art contest at school!"

"I've heard about it a bit." Parker answered. "I've seen some posters be put up for it the past couple of days."

"That sounds like something Dorian would like.." Willow pointed out. "He is a very good artist after all."

Dorian was looking at his half-done sketch but looked up once Willow mentioned him. "Everyone says I AM really good..." Dorian thought it over.

"If you win which you most definitely will, I'm sure the whole school will love you and you'll be famous!!" Holly encouraged him.

"I don't want fame, all i want is a good challenge." Dorian sighed smiling at Gina. "I think I will participate, I'll get to test my skills then."

"Yay!!" The others cheered for him, clapping happily but quite quietly as to not disturb the other students. The cheering was quickly interrupted by a voice.

"Dorian."

The gang soon turned to where the voice was heard, It was Josh. He was standing beside them with his shirt untucked and his hair messy, He was eyeing them all down, with a stern expression on his face.

"Oh hi Josh!" Holly waved at him. "How have you been?"

Josh glared at Holly. "I'm not talking to you, Pinky." He muttered. Holly looked at him, slightly offended.

"Watch who you're calling pinky, you selfish pinhead." Dorian scowled while he looked daggers at Josh. "Has no one ever told you it's rude to insult someone you hardly know?"

"Who asked you, geek?"

"I asked you, and I'm not a geek."

"Listen here, dimwit." Josh got up close to Dorian. "This art competition yeah? I'm gonna win it." He soon pointed to Dorian's detailed drawing which was now coming along nicely. "They won't accept this pile of trash! Go throw it out in the trash can where it belongs." This angered Gina now.

"And who asked for your biased opinion?" Gina shouted at Josh.

"QUIET! ATLEAST I HAVE A MOM!" Josh shouted back angrily. Gina let out a shaky gasp, tears now in her eyes after her mother's passing flooded her mind.

"How did you even know.." Gina whimpered. Dorian put his arm around her to comfort her.

"Josh!" Dorian hissed. "How about you go look in the mirror and see how much of a whiny idiot you are, and take a bath while you're at it!"

"GO AWAY!" Josh screamed before running away from them, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Dorian.." Gina finally calmed down. 

"Don't worry about it. He had no right to say what he said to you or Holly." He patted her back.

During all that, a cookie was peeking through a bush nearby. The cookie had slate grey armour with a dull violet cape. His hair was long and black with additional white strands. He had a sword close by to him known as the "Grapejam Chocoblade" with a purple diamond symbol shining on it. After Josh left, he took a deep breath and soon sighed.

"I think i have found who i need.."
