Sugar Sugar Rune: The Next Generation

by Simply Magestic

Queen Chocolat's shy daughter, Cerise, and Vanilla Mieux's bold daughter, Peppermint, are competing in the human world to determine the next queen. The quest for love is sweet, spontaneous, and whimsical. But what if an unexpected twist gets in their way? Will it turn the tide of the whole contest? "Love is a ruthless game...unless you play it good and right."

1. New Queen Candidates

Ch 1

"M-mom, I d-don't think I want to do the queen c-candidacy a-anymore. It's s-so s-scary!"

The Magic World's queen, Chocolat Meilleure, stared at her shy child, Cerise, in disbelief. "Don't say that, Cerise! You can't back out so suddenly. The Human World's not even that scary!" Cerise's gorgeous emerald green eyes were full of fear. She started to protest, "But-"

Then, King Pierre walked in the door. His blue eyes shone. "Please, Cerise. I know you can do it. Now turn that frown upside down!"

Queen Chocolat added, "Yeah! Keep the Meilleure spirit!" Slightly encouraged, Cerise looked up and smiled a little.

Meanwhile, in the legendary bakery, "Vanilla's best," a pretty lady with medium length, blonde curls and purple eyes, who was Vanilla Mieux herself, brought a slice of vanilla ice cream cake to her daughter, Peppermint Mieux, who, unlike Cerise, was enthusiastic about the Queen selection contest. "Only half an hour left till we go to la palais!" said an enthusiastic Peppermint. Vanilla smiled and said, "Yes, you'll do great! You have a bright personality like the great Chocolat-chan."

That night, both girls were called to the palace. Queen Chocolat stood up, clearing her throat.

"Peppermint Mieux!" The purple-eyed girl confidently said,"Yes!" The queen said "Cerise Meilleure!" and Cerise managed to stutter, "Y-yes!" Chocolat beamed. "You girls have been selected as queen candidates!"

A senator announced, "We bestow on you girls a wand and pendant. Whenever Her Majesty is ready, Queen Chocolat."

On Cerise's neck appeared a heart -shaped lime-green and magenta pendant; On Peppermint's appeared an opal one rimmed with black. Cerise gasped, "Lovely…kind of like Mama's." Peppermint said, "Cool! We finally get wands! Yay!" An embarrassed Vanilla Mieux in the audience slapped her palm to her face. But Queen Chocolat laughed softly. "Okay, here are your wands." A black, opal, purple, green, orange, red, and pink wand with a golden diamond swirled quickly out of the sky and landed into Peppermint's gloved hand. She shouted, "Yahoo!" A pink, magenta, yellow, lime green, dark green, sky blue and purple wand with a pink heart jewel sprung out of the ground and landed in Cerise's gloved hand. She squealed. Peppermint cheered.

The queen cleared her throat again. "Listen carefully, girls. Cerise, the top of your wand is white rhondite, which is flower fog, or 'fleur brouillard.' Above that is the sparkling jewel of Papardasha, or 'Brille Etoile.' And as for you, Peppermint, the top of the wand is milky sapphire, incantation for a autumn wind. Below that is a pearl for bubble blanket. Below that is a shard of celestite. Good luck. Any questions, girls?"

Cerise shyly said, "Can I really do this, Mama?" Queen Chocolat tucked a lock of orange hair behind her ear. "Of course you can, Cerise! Have faith in yourself. And you too, Peppermint! Now run along, girls. Happy journey!
