Chapter 5 - Annie makes a Cookie Monster with Opal

Annie was setting up his kitchen with ingredients. Opal was due to show up within the hour with the last of the stuff they needed to make the cookies since Reaper was out doing whatever he needed to do. So he and Opal got to baking. There was a knock on the door in such an odd way, it was similar to when they went to Fel's place and knocked on his door. Opal had a very...odd way of showing she had arrived.

Getting to the door he saw a large bag covering over half her upper body, a grin was on her face. Letting her in he saw something that didn't look like normal baking ingredients,

"What's that?" Annie asked as he set the stuff from the bag out onto the counter space.

"My special and super secret ingredient!~" she sang as she got a bowl out, ready to start cooking.

Shrugging a little Annie went about mixing the things he needed to make cookies. It was suppose to be a normal baking spree. Just a normal day with Opal. Right? But of course Opal had other plans.

When Annie turned his back to check the oven, Opal dropped two drops of her super secret ingredient in his batch of dough. With a large grin Opal started to do the dollops for each cookie on the cookie sheet. Annie thought none the wiser as he only saw Opal was helping him with his batch.

Once he put the batch in the oven he started to help Opal with her cookie cake. For a moment he thought it was just a normal batch of Oatmeal Raisin Cake, Until he saw her put ten drops of her super secret ingredient in her batter. At first he was curious about it since she seemed to hide it away with a grin as she was making her cake, then he thought how bad could it be.

When he went back to check his batch of chocolate chip cookies, what he saw shocked him. They were moving around on the cookie sheet. Like legitly walking around on the sheet. Turning to Opal he point it out, shocked and bewildered. She smiled and said he was now a proud father as she danced around the kitchen.

For a moment he looked back at the little creatures he wondered how she did this. When the oven dinged he took out the cookie sheet, each little cookie watching him before they started to jump around scream cutely about how much they loved their daddy. Annie wondered if he could even bring himself to eat them as they seemed to sparkle at just looking at him. Soon after Opal put her cookie cake in the oven as Annie took the cookie children to the kitchen table. They all danced around the new space.

A smile appeared over Annie face as he watched his children from some odd creation. Soon one fell off the side of the table screaming all the way down, breaking when it hit the floor. Opal screaming which shocked Annie and the little cookie creatures. She was kneeling over the fallen cookie with tears in her eyes. The rest of the cookie creations huddled into each other in silence as Annie watched the waterworks.

When the cookie creatures broke from their huddle they all around their daddy in a sort of way, giving a mourning. Opal stood while wiping her face as she hugged Annie whispering about how young that was before it had to leave us. Then something about a cruel deity of cookies that was hateful to their children. Annie just patted her back.

Soon the oven dinged again showing the readiness of the cookie cake.

Opal wiped her face on her apron as she went to the kitchen pulling out a strange thing from the oven. Really what was it? Annie had no clue. It was breathing and was wrapping itself around Opals arm like a snake. Its facial feature was odd and very bear like which didn't match up with the snake like of its body. But Opal wasn't alarmed as she petted its head.

Annie had no idea what it was. It looked like a cookie but…

Thinking for a moment, he looked down at his cookie creations and Opal snake like bear thing and then recalled the super secret ingredient. His eyes widened, mouth agape as he tried to figure out what he was supposed to say. In was in this fact that Reaper decided to return home.

Walking into the kitchen he saw the cookie creations, the mourning cookies on the table and snake like cookie bear on Opal, he turned to Annie and shook his head and just walked back out the door. Leaving Annie to clean up the mess that was known as Opal's Cookie Monsters.

Welp this took longer than I wanted but hey its done now
