Horohoro was invited to a Christmas party that his friends, Yoh and Anna were hosting and was in charge of bringing cookies.
He had no objection to that, seeing as cookies were practically all he ate.
The only problem was… he didn't know how to make them.
Every single cookie he ate was from a Mr Christie bag.
But… he was broke.
Really broke. Broke as in, not even a cent to his name.
So, Horohoro either had to find some money, or to find someone caring and sweet enough to give him money, or to bake him some cookies.
Hm… that lit a light bulb in his head. Homemade cookies were always better than store bought…
Thus Horohoro started on his quest: to find someone to make him some cookies.

One day, a newspaper ad Horohoro found proclaimed that the Rose Café was now opening.
Below was a menu and Horohoro's eyes zoomed in on the cookie part.
It read: Whenever you buy a new purchase, you receive a cookie of your choice. Only available for a limited time. Limit to one free cookie per day.
He started to dance around the room happily. Finally his problems were solved!
Now… where would he get the money to buy the purchases to get a free cookie?

"So, Anna, you want me to buy a cake for you?" Horohoro asked, not believing his luck.
"Yes." She replied.
He smiled and dashed off to his car.
Following the directions to the Rose Café, Horohoro reached it in less than 10 minutes.
At the counter was a pink haired girl, talking on the phone.
She's cute… Horohoro thought and quickly dashed that thought out of his head. He was here to get cookies!
After a moment's thought, Horohoro decided on a cake and brought it over to the cashier.
The girl was off the phone by then. He read the name on her name tag. Tamao.
"Hi," She timidly said.
Horohoro nodded at her.
"That will be 10 yen please." She said.
Horohoro handed her the money and asked for a free cookie.
The girl smiled.
She pulled out a tray with an assortment of cookies and held it out for him.
"Made them myself." She said proudly.
That caught Horohoro's attention. "Really?"
She nodded.
"They look really good." He smiled at her and she blushed a little.
"thanks. If you want, you can take more; not many come here for the cookies."
Score! Horohoro thought.
"How many can I take?" He asked.
"As many as you like." She replied offhandedly.
"Really?"
Tamao nodded.
"Can I keep the tray too?"
Tamao stared at him unbelievingly. "You want them all?"
Horohoro laughed a bit and smiled. "I like cookies."
She smiled as well. "Me too."
And at that moment, the two cookie-lovers both felt something that would join them together for many years to come.
