"What am I going to do now?" Star Fruit Cookie asked himself "I'm a traitor to the Kingdom."

He looks down at his clothes. After a run through Dusk Moss Swamp, his clothes were torn and tattered. "Not only that, but I need some new clothes." His eyes spotted some thrown away clothes. They were a perfect fit, with only a couple cuts in the cloth.

"It's not perfect, but it will have to do."
He thinks to himself.

He throws on a cloak, and began to walk. And walk. And walk. For miles on end. It was stormy when he stopped. He looked forward, and saw a Kingdom far different than his own.

He smiled for a few moments, before taking a step forward and falling on the ground. The last thing he saw was a pointy hat and white-ish hair.

Alchemist Cookie was minding her own business until the doors opened, letting the noise inside. She jumped at the sudden racket.

"Wizard Cookie!" She angrily moaned, "You ruined my concentration!"

Wizard Cookie didn't speak a word, he instead conjured a bed, and laid the Stranger he was carrying in it.

"Uh, who is that?" Alchemist Cookie asks.

"A boy I found unconscious on the ground, it was storming outside, so I decided to bring him here." The old, wise Cookie replied.

Alchemist looks at the boy and takes his temperature. "He is boiling hot. " She says, "He'll need to stay in bed for a while."

Wizard looks out the window at the Castle. "The King and Queen are currently visiting Galaxia, so I can't notify them about this. We should take care of the boy and return him to his family once he recovers."

Alchemist nods her head.

"But for now." He continues, "We should get some rest."

"Fine, I'll just finish my experiment tomorrow."

~...The next day...~

"Ugh..." Star Fruit groans, his body was aching, he sits up on the bed and looks around. He suddenly realises that someone must have found him and brought him here.

He starts to panic, what if they knew who he was? What if they turned him in? He wasn't prepared to deal with that.

He had the nagging feeling something will happen if he stays here.

"I got to get out of here..." Star Fruit mutters to himself.

He tried to get out of bed. He couldn't.
He tried again. He couldn't.
He suddenly realises that he's too sick to get up.

He looks outside, and he sees the storm hasn't died down, meaning that even if he could move, he wouldn't get far.

He lays back down, thinking to himself. Was this it? Could he not escape? He was so busy thinking about this, he hadn't noticed the girl who had just come down the stairs.

"Looks like someone's awake."

"GAHAHWHATHAHECK?!?!" Star Fruit screamed and frantically clutched at his bed's wooden posts.

"What's the problem? Did I catch you off guard?" Alchemist asks.

Star Fruit takes a deep breath, and hides under the cover.

Alchemist grabs her notebook and starts writing aloud. "Was shocked... Shows to be in the teenager stage... acts like a child... "

Star Fruit retreats from his cover to look at her angrily. "How dare you call me a child!"

Alchemist Cookie looks at him, then back in her notebook and writes, "Has anger issues..."

"HEY!" Star Fruit shouts at her, offended.

"I'm sowwy, did I ofwend the wittle baby?" She replies in a mocking voice.

"Why I ought to-"

"Alchemist Cookie. Stop patronizing the child." A grand voice calls out upstairs. "I can hear your bickering from here."

Wizard Cookie slowly floats onto the floor in front of Star Fruit and Alchemist.

"Good morning." Wizard Cookie greets Star Fruit. "I am Wizard Cookie, and this is Alchemist Cookie, I found you yesterday, outside, in the rain, so I brought you here."

Star Fruit looks around, confused, and then looks back at Wizard Cookie.

"I am sorry to ask this, but who am I?"

"Moss Cookie, what are we going to do?!" Milkyways asks Moss.

Moss looks at Milkyway. "I doubt Moss Cookie would know what is happening, Milkyway, as he is currently tending to the plants." He says, with a smirk.

Yoghurt Cream whispers to Milkyway, "Milks, is it just me, or did your brother refer to himself in 3rd person?"

"Oh, I think I get it now." Cometcherry said, eyes lighting up. "I was wondering why Moss Cookie had just suddenly got control over his power."

"And now your Sister is referring to him in third person."

"That would be because he isn't here."
Moss Cookie's body started melting and moving around, shape-shifting, and turns into Jester Cookie.

Milkyway sighs in relief, "I should have known!"

"Yes, you should have!" Jester Cookie pinches his ear. "This is why I've been trying to teach you to not be deceived by these sort of tricks!"

"Ow, owow, Ow! Alright, I get it!"

"I hate to interrupt your family reunion, but where are we going? My carpet won't find Star Fruit Cookie instantly." Yoghurt Cream points out.

Jester Cookie looks at him with a smile, "We are going to your homeland, the Kingdom of Yogurca."

Both Milkyway and Cometcherry look at him happily, "We are?!" They both shout, excited.

"Wait, are you telling me that you guys have never been to Yogurca before?" Yoghurt Cream asks.

Cometcherry sighs, "We've wanted to, but our Father is too overprotective of us to let us out of the castle." She explains, "The only ones who've been there, is Star Fruit who had to go there once for a Royal Meeting, and Jester Cookie."

Yoghurt Cream looks surprised at this statement, "Wait, but why didn't you go as well?" He points out.

"Simple, we were just too young to do that sort of stuff." She replies.

"What about your Mother?"

Cometcherry's eyes widen when he mentions their Mother. "...I'd rather avoid all conversation about her..."

Yoghurt Cream opened his mouth to speak, but Jester Cookie covered it. "I think that's enough conversation for now, thank you very much Yoghurt Cream."

Milkyway looked at Yoghurt Cream angrily, "Dude! Now she's not gonna speak for 2 to 3 hours!" He passive-aggressively whispers.

"But what's going-"

"We are here!" Jester interrupts Yoghurt Cream again. The four looked down and saw the Kingdom of Yogurca, staring back at them.

Milkyway's face becomes filled with excitement, "This is the famed Yogurca I've been dieing to see!"

Suddenly, the carpet takes a turn, and starts flying to a hill on the edge of the Kingdom.

"Wait, where are we going?!" Yoghurt Cream asks.

"Well, if we're going to find Star Fruit Cookie, then the best person to ask is Wizard Cookie." Jester Cookie replies.

When Yoghurt Cream hears that name, he starts to sweat, as he might have done something that would ruin there chances of finding Star Fruit.

And that something was angering Wizard Cookie.
