  I woke up in a Candy Wonderland, alright? I woke up in one of those pink girly, dresses that those kind of girls wear. In addition, I was covered in sweetness. Literally in sweets.
  The world we were in had to be some kind of Candy Realm. If not, something would have to explain the knight coming towards us in chocolate armor and riding on an animal cracker. So we were definitely in Sweet Land here. The knight came up to Marisol and I and said, "Hello, Ladies! I haven't seen you around before, are you perhaps new? Or a new brand?"

   Marisol and I looked at each other and I took a short notice of Marisol's outfit. I had to hold my laughter in, but I just couldn't and it came out in a giggle. The knight asked while Marisol glared at me, "What's so funny, Miss?"
   I stopped laughing and replied, "Nothing of the sort, sir."
     Marisol hit me with one of her heels. (Which hurt besides the fact that she was wearing heels made of jawbreakers) The knight boomed with laughter and said, "I like you! You're a real treat. Should I call you Miss Cotton Candy?"
   I looked down at myself as Marisol took a turn to laugh. My dress was completely made of cotton candy I swear. So making a note to NOT get it wet. But I politely replied, "Um... You can call me Miss Amy, Sir Knight. What's your name?"
   Chocolate knight over here put his hand on his hand and answered, "My apologies. My name is Beck. Or... Kennedy Beck if you must. I serve as the Queen's... Main guard. Her personal one is Hannah, representative of the Chocolate Mint candy village."

  Both of us mouthed 'ok' to him as he rambled on and on complaining. But the only time I did listen was when I heard the word 'underwear' come from his mouth. But it was only about some girl who stole his ice cream printed underwear from... Something.
  But Marisol had enough. She asked, "Knight! Where do you suppose lies the ruler of this realm?"
   The knight answered, "Oh! The castle of our sweet Queen Victoria the second is just up ahead! Just across the valley of Sprinkles and we're there! Allow me to take you!"
   I agreed as he added, "Come on and ride on Pufflemix. He's the fastest cracker in the land." Ok. So he mentioned to name his horse Pufflemix? Ugh, I hate this land already.
   After we rode on... 'Pufflemix' we traveled to the Valley Of Sweets or whatever Ken said. But, we were blocked by construction workers. Or that's what I think they were. There were about three girls both playing around and building some sort of house. One had green hair, one had red, and the last one had white hair. When they saw us, they all said in unison, "Hiya! Nice to meet you! We're the sugar daddy girls!"

   The one with green hair said, "Hiya! My name is Hannah. Queen Victoria's best friend, personal guard, and royal advisor. These are my besties, Brittany and Galilea! Say hiya girls!"
   Brittany; the one with red hair muttered 'hi' as the girl named Galilea with white hair shouted, "Hiya!" Loud and proud. I asked them, "Do you know anything of... The Quest? Or the Savior?"
   Hannah nodded, her head bobbing up and down as if someone had a fast forward button on her. She replied, "I know of that! But Queen Victoria knows more of it. And I know a shortcut!!!"
   Marisol and I grinned brightly as we all followed Hannah and her girls. But before we could go, Hannah stated, "Becky. You stay here. Or go back to your job, okay?"

   Haha, 'Becky' rolled his eyes and saluted to Hannah before riding off to who knows where in this place. Hannah motioned for us to follow as she asked some questions on the way, her joy radiating more than enough. "So girls, who are you? Where are you from? Which one of y'all is the chosen one?" Hannah asked, proud that she had asked first.
   I replied, "Well... My name is Amy. This is my friend Marisol who's from the Kingdom of Irras. I'm the chosen one."
   Hannah nodded, keeping that smile on her face while walking, pointing her toes up while doing so. Marisol asked, keeping up with the green haired girl, "So, who's Queen Victoria? Is she a good queen?"
   Galilea answered, "Oh yes! Queen Victoria is the best queen there is! She is friends to all, and she is the sweetest out of all of us!"

   I took note of that as we finally arrived (After 40 questions from them) at a huge candy themed palace. Hannah opened the doors with her peppermint key and went inside with us. After that, we arrived in the throne room and saw a woman with long pink hair and a dress made of the colors of black licorice, white icing frills, and red licorice bows.
   Hannah called out, "My Majesty Victoria! You have very important guests!"
      The young queen spun around and brightly smiled, surprisingly revealing no cavities. The queen greeted, "Hiya, my sweet citizens! Oh, what do we have here? Well, I'm Victoria!!!"
   Brittany answered her queen, "Milady, these are the girls that have gone on the quest you said the Great Sugar Fairy sent them on!"

   Victoria's eyes widened as round as moons. "Great Sugar Plums! Really?! Well then, what are you doing here? You have to get to the next dimension world! Time is running out you know!" Victoria shouted, dragging all of us up a case of graham crackers (don't ask) and led up to some jelly room. Well... Mostly jelly. Victoria gave us all mints shaped like crowns and instructed, "Eat these. You'll get to the next world there. By the way, take this," Victoria gave us a real book and continued. "This is a gift from me to you. It's a book about how to take care of that spirit creature of yours." She said, taking notice of the moving figure in my backpack. (Ok, I got a backpack. Well, made a backpack with cotton candy and licorice on the way here. I couldn't handle that little bundle of joy's weight any longer!)
  I smiled. "Thank you, Victoria. I'll remember you." I whispered.
    Victoria laughed, "Oh you don't have to. One of my own will tag along!"
  Marisol asked, "Who's going with us?"
     Victoria replied, "Hannah, promise something to me."
    Hannah saluted to Victoria as she said, "Hannah, promise to guard these two travelers with your life. I want you to do this for the Candy Realm. For me."

   Hannah smiled and hugged her leader. She walked over to us and said, "I'll be honored to join you on your journey."
  Victoria and the other girls shed tears as Hannah took ahold of the mint. Before she could eat it, she asked, "Wait, who's going to protect you, my queen?"
    Victoria giggled tremendously. She replied, "Why, that knight Sir Beck is. He's beefing about wanting this you know. And I want all my citizens to be happy!"
   Hannah sighed happily. "Nothing new from you, Victoria." She said.
    Victoria put a hand on Hannah's shoulder and asked, "Do you know why I sent you?"
  Hannah shook her head as Victoria answered, "It's because you're my best friend. And I know you won't let me down, right?"
   Hannah nodded as Victoria shed more tears and added, "Well then. You better get going. Goodbye my friends, goodbye, Hannah!!!"
  We all shouted back to the queen, "Goodbye, Victoria!!!"
     We bit down on the mint, which DIDN'T taste anything like what it was supposed to. It tasted like soap and carpet actually. But anyway, as we finished chewing, I slightly felt dizzy, but that ended up in me falling on the floor doing the worm. But then feeling myself float and transport to the next dimension.
