The night sky is vast as their light scattering across the darkness like whispers from distant world. Hollyberry was tapping her red shoes on the tiles outside of the palace, waiting someone to arrive. Pitaya Dragon, oh where are you? She had been waiting for them almost an hour.

Don't tell her they have forgotten the festival she told them. It would be sad if they didn't decide to come as she has no choice but to enjoy herself alone. At least her friends will be there. As before she could take another step, a loud flap of wings tore through the silence. Her head whipped around with a gasp of hope. There they are.

Pitaya Dragon landed their feet on the tiles in front of her. They are wearing black turtle-neck shirt and black fitting pants. "I'm here Holly. Sssorry for being late, I forgot where I put the ssshirtsss you gave me."

She chuckled, shaking her head. "Do not worry silly. As for as long you are finally here, everything is alright. I was starting to lose hope to think you wouldn't come to the festival."

"Aww~ Isss my little cookie worried about me so much?" They teased her, pinching her cheeks. "No need to feel overly concerned, I would alwaysss come for you. Even it'sss only a cookie fessstival either I would fine myssself enjoy."

Hollyberry laughed, softly grabbed their hand that pinching her cheeks. "Come now, Pitaya. Our friends are waiting in the festival!"

Oh great, this isn't what Pitaya Dragon wanted. They wanted to spend time alone with her, and only her, not with those four of her little friends, especially that white flower who tricked them years ago.

In the festival, many cookies crowded the areas, some cookies plays some mini games to win the prizes, and other decided to buy some delicious foods from the food stands. Hollyberry squished through the crowd while the red dragon was gripping her hands tight, not daring to slip through her fingers.

As the crowd became less the more they go further, the other four ancients are waiting at the picnic table. When they heard a familiar footsteps, their head turned at the direction.

"It's seem all of you have arrived before us." Hollyberry said, smiling to see them all here. "We're sorry for the late, I was waiting for Pitaya Dragon to come."

"It is alright, you're not late, Hollyberry." Pure Vanilla smile at her. "We came here not long ago too."

Dark Cacao seems to be concerned with Pitaya Dragon, even through they are Hollyberry's lover, that dragon is still a beast, dangerous one. He could feel Pitaya Dragon glared at him with a annoyed smirk. "Hollyberry, are you sure it would be alright to bring them here? What if something happens to you?"

"Don't be concerned, Dark Cacao, Pitaya Dragon is a well behaved dragon, am I right?" She caressing their cheeks with her thumb, making their body shivered by her gentle touch and their tail wags.

Golden Cheese holding back her laughter, couldn't help herself but watching the big legendary dragon loving her touch. It is so cute and adorable to be ignored. White Lily giggled, but there is some few droplets from her face, due to her remembering Pitaya Dragon stills hate her ever since the contract she had made. Pure Vanilla laughed softly at the two, who are being adorable.

Later, the six of them chooses the mini games they wanted to try, Dark Cacao didn't want to participants any events but only watched their friends play but if they have problems he would help them to win one. Golden Cheese, who's playing the Archer game, she didn't win one but three times. It is like throwing spears but with bow and strings. White Lily got two prizes for winning both dart game and ring toss. And the poor Pure Vanilla didn't win anything but White Lily shares her prizes with him.

At the throwing ball game, Hollyberry took one of the ball, and threw at the six stacks of cans. She hit, unfortunately it didn't fell. She retry again, but the tins didn't fall even she hit. It made her mind confused. Is she that weak to knock down all the tin? She usually score with this game.

"I guess it isn't my day." She sighed but smile. "Let's play something else Pitaya."

Hollyberry, oh Hollyberry. Pitaya Dragon saw you failing knocking down the tin. It wasn't your fault. That cookie is scammer. Their sharp eyes saw water on the top of each tins. Of course it can't be knock down with that strength. How dare that cookie trying to trick her into their dirty games.

Hollyberry noticed her dragon isn't with her, her head spin behind, seeing Pitaya Dragon is still at the throwing ball game. "Pitaya Dragon —!"

They didn't hear her voice. They threw the ball at the tin with all of their strengths. Knocking all the them down all at once. And the owner of the game, slowly whipped his head in fear, seeing the hole where Pitaya threw. His little body trembled, this cookie is too stunned to speak. Pitaya Dragon smirked out of joy and pride, as their eyes glared at the shaking cookie.

"H-Here sir. You can this!" Said the cookie with trembling voice, giving ge red dragon plush. "Please don't hurt me!"

"Thank you, little cookie." Pitaya sarcastic smiled at him, turning their body toward Hollyberry with genuinely smile. "Hollyberry! Thisss gift isss for you!"

"I appreciate your gift, Pitaya. But you should not use such strength to hurt anyone. We talked about this." Hollyberry give the scold look. She is happy Pitaya Dragon got the gift she wanted but using violence is not the solution to win for prize.

"Oh, really, Holly? That cookie literally ssscammed everyone for playing his dirty game. He placed the water on thossse cans." Pitaya Dragon exposed the cookie without remorse. Unfortunately the cookie had disappeared before he was getting exposed. "... That little b—"

Their mouth immediately shut by the finger of Hollyberry. Their dragon eyes gazed softly at hers.

"Let that cookie be, we don't want to ruin our little date, don't we?" She winked. "Come, our friends are waiting for us."

Before the two could look for their friends, the sound of a firework was heard at the sky. The performance caught the crowd's attention as they awed. Pitaya Dragon gripped her hand, while the other was holding the plush of themselves. Their eyes looked back at her lip. Feeling the desperation of kissing her underneath the fireworks, some cookies would do this right?

Their empty claw cupping her cheek to look at their face. Soon, their face to leaned close to kiss her, but they immediately stop when they heard the familiar's voice.

"Hollyberry! Hurry up! We're going to take a picture together!" Golden Cheese shouted from a far from the crowd, she is at the wide opening of the entrance of the festival.

Growled coming from Pitaya Dragon that they were interrupted but it was only for a brief moment when Hollyberry give a small peck on the lip.

"Don't be upset, old lizard. We can kiss before bedtime" She chuckled. "Let's follow our friends at the entrance. They're waiting for us."

After the fun, the two waved goodbye to Hollyberry's dearest friends and returned to the palace. When Hollyberry had fell asleep on her bed, Pitaya Dragon's tail was wrapped around her waist, while their lip was placed on her neck, craving her touch.
