Both Dorian and Gina had a free period. Gina decided to use that free time to check on her siblings over the phone while Dorian was sitting alone on some bleachers finishing his sketch.

"Josh was so rude.." He thought to himself while sketching a left arm. "And over a small competition.. What's his deal?"

Hidden under a bleacher nearby was the cookie from earlier. He poked his head out, observing Dorian with eyes as sharp as daggers. He nodded to himself before hiding again.

"Yes." He muttered to himself. "I'm sure i have found a good candidate. Here goes nothing.."

The cookie jumped up to the bleacher above the one Dorian was sitting on and walked to his drawing. He took a deep breath and mumbled "Excuse me?"

This stopped Dorian from his drawing for a moment. He turned his head left then right, trying to figure out where the cookie's voice came from.

"Who said that?" Dorian asked.

"Down here."

Dorian looked down to where the cookie was looking up at him from. He let out a small gasp.

"What are you? Are you an elf? A wood sprite?"

"Elf? Wood sprite? Where would you get ideas like that?" The cookie looked a bit appalled at Dorian's assumptions at what he was. "I am none of those creatures, I am a cookie."

"Ohhhh... Wait, a cookie? But how-" Dorian sighed. "What's your name?"

"My name is Dark Cacao Cookie, ruler of the Dark Cacao kingdom. And you are?"

"My name's Dorian Clayton."

"It is nice to meet you, Dorian. If I may.. may I ask you about something known as the Cookie Force?" Dark Cacao Cookie asked.

"Cookie.. force..?" Dorian was confused.

"Well at the end of a horrible war, my friends and I decided to go to this world to find the Cookie Force. They are heroes who have the power of truth, passion, resolution, abundance and freedom. We have found the ones for truth and passion, so there's three to go. All I ask is if you would like to assist me in looking for them."

"You're joking, right?" Dorian looked uncertain.

"I am not joking, this is very serious." Dark Cacao Cookie spoke with an earnest tone. "There is evil out as well, and not only are they very powerful, I hear they are looking for candidates of their own. I fear if we do not find them in time, it will be too late for not only cookie-kind, but human-kind as well.."

"Ah..." Dorian's face morphed into a sad one. "I'll see what I can do. No one deserves to live in fear."

"Thank you, Dorian. I appreciate your assistance more than you know." Dark Cacao Cookie smiled with relief. "I must return to my kingdom now, thank you once again for your help."

"Don't worry yourself, when will we see each other again?"

"Soon, I can promise you that."

In the blink of an eye, Dark Cacao Cookie ran. Now that Dorian was alone, he got to thinking. "I have to help, I can't ignore a threat so big, can I?" His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone walking over to him, it was Gina.

"Hey Dorian!" Gina waved as she walked up to him.

"Hi Gina." Dorian waved back as she sat down beside him. "How are your siblings doing?"

"Oh they're alright, Maisie is still sick though, she's using her day-off time to learn more advanced coding." Gina smiled. "By the way.. thanks for standing up for me and Holly today.." She soon went quiet.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I just did what was right. Josh had no right to speak to you the way he did." He tapped her shoulder reassuringly as they both got up and grabbed their bits. He soon smiled at her. "Let's get going, we have class soon."

"Yeah, good idea." She smiled back.
