C/N Cookie aimlessly paced around the grounds of the Hollyberry palace, racking their brain over something. They needed to tell her. They needed their friend and queen to be informed. But what difference would that make? This isn't real. None of it is. And even if Hollyberry Cookie believed what they were planning to tell her, it's not like she could do anything about it... But she might just laugh it off as a joke, she was never really one to be serious.

They knew. C/N Cookie knows it's all just a game. Impatience and fear gnawed away at them. If they don't tell somebody, anybody soon, they might just go insane. Still caught in their intense thinking, they didn't hear the fluttering of wings. That's why C/N Cookie almost jumped out of their dough when they saw Pitaya Dragon Cookie standing right in front of them.

"Trembling out of fear, sssmall Cookie? Asss you ssshould!" The dragon teased, their fangs showing with their wide smile. Since the adventure they went on with Hollyberry Cookie in the Dragon's Valley, they were given permission to wander the Hollyberry Kingdom as long as they don't cause trouble. But C/N Cookie was barely able to make out a response. "Ah- eh, hello, Pitaya Dragon Cookie.." Their absent-minded mumbles were quiet, as they didn't directly focus on the dragon.

'Do they also know? Probably not. Should I tell them?' C/N Cookie thought. They and Pitaya Dragon Cookie got along quite well, maybe they could confide in them. However.. it's best to tell Hollyberry Cookie first.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie noticed how C/N Cookie didn't seem to pay direct attention to them. And with that, slight anger was already brewing within them. To be frank, they liked C/N Cookie's attention, and wanted them all for themselves. A lot more than they'd like to admit. And they hated when they didn't get what they want, because they always do.

"Sssay! I could go for sssome juice. You ssshould come with me." Pitaya Dragon Cookie offered in an attempt to win over C/N Cookie. They really were certain the H/C-ette wouldn't decline, after all, it's not every day the legendary Greenish Red Dragon acts all nice and friendly toward you. So they furrowed their brows when C/N Cookie shook their head.

"No? What do you mean no?" The dragon snarled, visible annoyance present. C/N Cookie turned away toward the palace entrance. "Sorry. I have to go talk to Hollyberry Cookie. We can.. hang out some other time." 'Hollyberry Cookie?' Oh crumbs no! Alas, Pitaya Dragon Cookie didn't stop C/N Cookie from walking away, even when they gladly would've done so. Almost exploding with hisses and growls, they spread their wings and took off into the sky.

"Hah! Oh C/N Cookie, you have the wildest imagination. I could've never come up with a joke like that!" Hollyberry Cookie was barely able to contain her laughs. Whilst C/N Cookie felt a sweat tear roll down their face. "Believe me, Hollyberry Cookie. It's not-" They were however quickly interrupted by Hollyberry Cookie patting their back. Strong like she was, they almost doubled over. "Seriously, I thank you for giving me a good laugh! You might have a chance as comedian!"

"I-..." C/N Cookie wasn't even able to find words anymore. Hollyberry Cookie walked away, chuckling all the while. They had found someone to tell the truth, but that someone didn't even believe them. Head hanging lowly, they sigh. Who were they gonna go to now? 

Unaware to C/N Cookie, was how a certain dragon had been watching them and Hollyberry Cookie from up in the air. And they didn't even need to hear what their conversation entailed to be furious. C/N Cookie had prefered the queen over them. Not only to tell a secret, but just to spend time with in general. When they could've gone out with Pitaya Dragon Cookie. Well, it seems like they're gonna have a little chat with Hollyberry Cookie...
