Chapter 1: Mr. Fluffypaws

"A bit of Honey and Spice will do..." muttered the young witch wearing a Piñarctic Pretztail hat. "Aaaannd a pinch of sugar and daisy petals won't hurt!" she exclaimed and she mixed all these things together, "It's ready!" she beamed as her eyes shone. "I can finally go and help Petula." She said as she hid the potion she made under her hat and was about to leave her house but something stopped her. She looked down as she felt a little paw touch her foot, it turns out it was a piñarctic pretztail with a little prosthetic mask on. "Frostwind honey! You're awake! You scared me there for a second." Exclaimed the young witch as she picked up Frostwind and pet her back gently.

Frostwind was one of this witches precious and dearest piñata, she raised her since the pretztail was just a pup since her parents refused to take care of them after she lost the upper part of her muzzle. The witch cared about this little piñata more than anything before, she was willing to raise Frostwind into a normal pretztail despite the lack of her upper muzzle. Frostwind always looked up at the witch as her mother and relies on her for lots of things mainly being food.

After a few minutes, the witch put the pretztail down. "I'm sorry Frostwind I can't take you with me today considering I've seen Pester lurking here around but I promise I give buy you some joy candy." She promised her piñata as she finally left the house. The witch felt the cold air on her skin and sighed, as she ran through the snow trying to get as fast as possible to Petula's place.

20 minutes later, Aurora finally arrived at Petula's shop, panting and sweating like mad. Petula looked up at the witch and hid her phone in her pocket, "You're late. You usually arrive here faster Aurora." Said Petula as she raised a brow at the young witch. "Not-my fault-I live in-the Piñarctic! It takes a while for me to-get to the main village you know?" panted Aurora as she looked at Petula. "No need to get aggressive there bud." Said Petula as she crossed her arms, "I'm not aggressive! I'm just-out of-breath!" she retorted back as she began to regain her breath, "Now where is that sour piñata you were telling me about?" asked Aurora. "Oh the Sour Mallowolf? It's in the garden. Come on." Said Petula as she lead Aurora to the garden that was just behind Petula's shop.

Aurora noticed the sour was trying to bite through the fence it was trapped in, "How on earth did you trap that thing?!" gasped Aurora as she looked at Petula with her eyes wide open, "It took me a while but I used my shovel to push it there. But after that I had to get a new shovel since the other one was totally destroyed..." admitted Petula, "Now can you unsour this piñata please? I didn't spend 1000 chocolate coins for you to just stand there." Sighed Petula as she gave Aurora a tired look. "Alright, alright, calm down there Miss Fussy!" exaggerated Aurora as she threw her hands in the air, "You're lucky you're a good pal of mine or otherwise I would've made you pay me the prize I usually make people pay me to unsour the sour piñatas they trap which is 5000!" said Aurora as she narrowed her eyes at Petula who laughed, "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." She then walked up to the fence that the Sour Mallowolf was trapped in and was about to open it.

"Ready whenever you are." Shouted Petula to Aurora, "I'm ready." Said Aurora confidently as Petula open the gate and the sour immediately jumped out there growling. Aurora pinned down the sour and took out the potion she made from under her hat, she then made the sour drink the potion and let go of the piñata. The Sour Mallowolf fell asleep and got itself into a cocoon. Few seconds later the piñata was not sour anymore but a rather normal piñata. "You actually did it, I can't believe this!" exclaimed Petula from surprise, "I was pretty sure the Sour Mallowolf was about to rip you to shreds." She said. Aurora chuckled, "I had experience with many sours so I know how to exactly pin them down without me getting hurt." Smiled the witch. Petula chuckled she looked at the Mallowolf than was happily running around exploring the garden and trying to get along with some kittyflosses and tigermisus. "That Mallowolf reminds me so much of Mr. Fluffypaws..." trailed off Petula as she sighed and looked at the ground. Aurora walked up to her, "You're still not over his passing are you?" asked Aurora as she laid her hand on Petula's shoulder, "No. I thought I would be over it but I miss the old fella...I had him since I was kid, when I first came here to Piñata Island with my parents...he was my first piñata." She sighed as she frowned. Aurora frowned with her, "I'm sorry, but you know he was very old...time just caught up to him." She explained, "He can't live forever you know. Besides the poor kittyfloss was barely able to walk anymore. How many times did you had to go to Patch every week to check if Mr. Fluffypaws wasn't ill? 3 times per week?" said Aurora. "Yeah I know, it's just...I don't know, I just wish I could've have more time to say goodbye to him." Muttered Petula. Aurora smiled and hugged Petula rubbing her back in comfort. "What are you going to do with the Mallowolf?" asked Aurora, "I'll probably sell it to Lottie, I prefer feline piñatas than canine. Not to mention they remind me of Mr. Fluffypaws when he was younger, a curious and friendly little kittyfloss." Said Petula as she sighed and frowned a little. "I see, that's fine." Said Aurora as she finally stopped hugging Petula.

"I got to go now. Take care of yourself okay?" asked Aurora as she pat Petula's back and gave her a quick side hug. "Alright, thank you again for unsouring the Mallowolf." Said Petula with small smile on her face. "You're welcome. If you want to talk to me, just tell me or send me a message on my alert system. Have a nice day Petula and once again take care!" shouted Aurora as she waved goodbye to Petula and went to Lottie's shop to get some joy candy for Frostwind. Lottie smiled as she saw one of her favourite customers come in, Aurora got a few joy sweets from her and was on her way to go back to her home. But she couldn't stop thinking about Petula and Mr. Fluffypaws, she wishes she could've comfort her more.
