Snippet #2319582

There was pure silence, except for the faint ticking of a clock. On one side of the room, A strawberry-blonde haired teenage girl was sitting on a red sofa, her legs crossed at her knees. On the other side, a small yet massive brown lamb was sitting on a lime green beanbag, his hoof resting upon his right cheek. Both creatures had the same focused expression on their faces as they sat in their cabin located in the ice kingdom. The small cabin was on the rural side of town, far from the village that surrounded the famous mountain. It was almost rare to see anybody wandering outside.

Suddenly, the sience was broken by the girl, who had a booming and moderately deep voice.
"So, Flake, tell me. Where were you thinking?"
The brown lamb hesitated, and then filled the silence as well.
"Well, I'm not the best when it comes to places, but I think it's best if we went to the Candy Kingdom. I mean, the climate's much, much, much, MUCH warmer. For me, anyway..." he said, his heavy english accent melting away the tension of the situation.

Raleigh, the seventeen-year-old girl, had a shocked look on her face. She had never considered the candy kingdom as a place where she and Flake could permanantely move. In fact, she had never considered the candy kingdom a real place. Honestly, she would much rather move to the city of thieves than stay in the candy kingdom. To Raleigh, there was nothing to the place. Sure, there was food to last a lifetime, but that was it. It was all just for show. No substance, nothing important. Just sugar. Besides, her water nymph friend had told her the place was full of cats. Raleigh was allergic to cats.

"I dunno," the girl started, getting up from her chair, "I'm not much of a city person. Is there any room in the candy kingdom? I don't really got much of a sweet tooth anyway...."
The lamb's focused face turned into one of anger....or.... frustration? Or annoyance? It was always hard to tell Flake's emotions since he was always so ticked off over EVERYTHING. It was best to say he was being simply negative.

"Look, RALEIGH, you've been moving ever since you learned to walk. How many places have you been to already? The Wildberry Kingdom, Stock Woods, Mountain Kingdom, The Bad Lands, Rump Town, WIZARD CITY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, and you've never been to the most famous kingdom in all of Ooo? Raleigh, you love change. I've known you for only two weeks, and i know that you constantly LIVE on change..."
"How do you know that?" the girl interrupted,"You need to know me longer than two weeks to know that i'm not one for commitment! You had AMNESIA, FLAKE. You barely knew your own name when i found you in that pile of snow!"
"TRUE," the lamb took control of the conversation again, "but that doesn't mean that i don't pay attention to details. Admit it, you get antsy after doing things for a while. If I were in your shoes...err...boots, I would be thrilled to be going to the Candy Kingdom. It'd be something different. Something new! Something exciting! Maybe even something challenging! Raleigh, what have you got to lose?"

Moments passed as the girl took all his words in, her eyes showing that she had truly listened to his lecture. Flake waited with anticipation for her response.
"Alright," she said, reluctantly, "...BUT!..." she added just before Flake could jump right out of his seat,
"...there are some things i wanna settle in the Ice Kingdom before we start heading down south. Some things i haven't done that i've been wanting to do for a while now..."

Raleigh moved swiftly across the floor to her small cupboard, where she pulled out a used tube of cookie dough.
"We're baking cookies. Warm ones. Don't ask who it's for, i'm not even sure myself!" she said with a mischievious smile.
Flake was a little hesitant about leaving his chair, but he gave in to curiousity, and in a matter of minutes, the cold air in the cottage was replaced with the warm scent of baking chocolate chip cookies.
