And there I was, sprinting madly down the hallway in hot pursuit of an animated cookie. The cookie turned the corner, and I followed not five seconds later. WHAM!
"There's a wall there. Got it memorized?"
Needless to say, I did in fact run into the wall, on accident mind you.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go back to the beginning of this chase.
So I was in the kitchen, and there was a box of Chips Ahoy! Cookies sitting there all innocent-like on the counter. Seeing as we haven't had cookies at the castle in ages, I was very hungry for cookies, so of course I open the package to find only one cookie left. Apparently I was the last to reach the cookies, and thus there was one left, but that cookie was going to be my cookie, no matter what. Naturally I picked up the cookie, and stuffed it in my mouth all ceremonially and a chill ran down my back, but as I do this, I hear soft laughter behind me.
I spun around, to find empty space; well it wasn't really empty because there was a huge walk-in freezer, who knows why we have one considering we never had to freeze anything more than ice cream and now not even that, but that's not the point… Well maybe it is, but anyways… The door was open. That explained the chill that ran down my back a minute ago. It did not, however, explain the laughter. That was when I saw it. A giant cookie, complete with a golden halo, and an angel choir.
I slowly stepped towards it, reaching for it, all the while drooling, and focused completely on the cookie. Then the cookie started getting farther away. I followed. The giant cookie was my new target. I would do anything for that cookie, I decided. Absolutely anything.
The monstrous cookie started floating out the door. I still followed it, captivated by its greatness. And then, before my eyes, the cookie stated to change, becoming a three dimensional animated cookie. My mouth continued to water as the cookie sped up to a fast walk. I followed vigilantly, never letting the space between us grow to more than three feet. Then the cookie stopped, and I stopped too. I reached for it, but as I was reaching, the cookie grew a mouth and smiled. Then it took off again, and I followed. It sped up, and now I was moving at a slow jog to keep up. Then at the next corner it stopped again. I stopped too, and grabbed for it, but it jumped out of my reach, and grew eyes that stared at me along with that annoying smile. I was starting to get frustrated. That cookie was going to be mine, all mine, and mine alone. The cookie sped up again, and I was jogging, pressing to keep up with the cookie. Then I saw Saix up ahead in the hallway. My cookie was in danger. I sped up, hoping to reach the cookie before Saix did. Then the cookie stopped again, right in front of Saix, but Saix didn't notice it. I stopped, and lunged for the cookie. But as I lunged for the cookie, so absorbed in my pursuit, I didn't notice Saix speaking.
"Demyx, aren't you supposed to be-"
I lunged, but the cookie jumped out of the way and I ran into Saix. Saix grabbed me and slung me over his shoulder. There the cookie was, still floating, but now it was growing legs, all the while mocking me with it's cruel smile, and blank eyes. Saix went into lecture mode, while lowering me to the ground, expecting me to stay and listen to his lecture. Naturally I did not. The cookie was still present, waiting for me to resume the chase, taunting me all the while. I slipped past Saix, and lunged for the cookie, but the cookie moved again, and I landed face down on the floor. I didn't care. The cookie was on the run again and I had Saix about to notice I wasn't there. I jumped up and ran after the cookie, as fast as I could so I could catch up. This continued for about five minutes, with me pushing to catch up to the cookie. Then where the hall branched into three other hallways, it paused, turned around and stuck its tongue out at me. The nerve of that darned cookie. I was going to capture it and torture it in all ways possible. Nobody can do that to me, not even a big delicious cookie. I stick my tongue out at people, not the other way around. That cookie had crossed the line. I was furious. Then the cookie took off at a sprint down the left hallway, and I dashed after it, not noticing where I was headed. Had I been paying attention to where the cookie was leading me, I would have noticed that was the exact route to Axel's wing of the castle. Alas, I didn't notice and I ended up dashing after the cookie around a corner, and straight into a wall. This puts me stuck to a wall by some odd means and Axel laughing and taking pictures of my stupidity.
"There's a wall there. Got it memorized?"
And all the while, he was laughing his head off. I felt really stupid, really, really stupid. What was I thinking, chasing a giant cookie as it floated down the hall? Who chases a cookie down the hall anyways? Who would be stupid enough to do that, especially when there is a golden glow around the cookie with angels singing in the background and the cookie starts animating its self? Apparently I am.
Author's Note: You might've seen this from me before... but here it is again, edited this time. And this time, I have plans for this story. Devious plans. Reviews make the author happy, and happy authors write more.
Disclaimer: I don't own the cookie, or Demyx, or Axel, or Siax, or Kingdom Hearts. It's sad, I know.
