Ari awoke to a Tall blonde dude standing over him with a maniacle sharp toothed grin plastered to his face.

"Good morning slave, I really think you should GET OUT OF BED!"

Oh, right. Stan was human now...great, he'd be even more anoying.

"We leave now!" he demanded. Ari got up and threw his shoes back on. Everyone was already downstairs.

***

"You slept late," commented Marlene.

"Can't really blame me." Ari said with a shrug.

"Well, we better depart." Rosalyn stated leading the way out.

The air was clean as it always was in Rashello and there was the slightest hint of rain sprinkling from the sky.

"Hey, i don't remember that." Linda said pointing to a large hut with a bright neon sign that read Cookie's Candy Emporium. A smaller sign read, home of the ten pound muffin.

"OmIGosh a Ten Pund Muffin!" exclaimed Linda.

"I bet fatty over there could eat it in one bite," Stan sneered.

"Why don't we check it out." Ari suggested before Rosalyn could get too angry. Linda squeled with joy and dashed off, Marlene close behind.

"Slave!"

"Come on Stan, it looks suspicious."

"Now your just mocking me."

Ari nodded in reply. Stan crossed his arms and gave him a look that said "I'm going to hurt you so bad."

Ari laughed nervously, "I'm leaving now."

Stan followed behind. He was mildly curious about the place. It was pretty...conspicuous, to say the least.

The hut smelled of deliciouse baked goods. Shelves of cookies, muffins, cakes, pies, and home made candies lined the walls. The array of flavors were continued on tables in the space between the walls. Right smack dab in the middle of the place was the ten pound muffin surrounded by bright multi colored signs.

"Thats the second largest muffin i've ever seen." Ari stated.

"What was the first?" Epros asked, throwing rhyming to the wind.

Ari had a flash back to when he was 5 years old. The carnval was in town and they were diplaying the worlds largest of everything. Among them, the largest muffin. It was eleven pounds.

"Just a carnival, doesn't really matter."

"Well it's the largest muffin i've ever seen." Linda smiled.

"It's the only muffin i've ever seen." BigBull joked, but the others didn't catch the playful tone.

"Have you been living in a hole your entire life?" Stan asked in disbeleif.

"Actually yes, but i was kidding. I love Muffins, they're like my favorite food group, Bro."

"Muffins aren't a food group. AND DON'T CALL ME BRO!"

"Will you just shut up, you shadow evil king. You're obnoxious voice makes my ears ring." Epros rhymed in aggitation.

"How dare you say that to moi..." Stan was cut off by a parasol in the ribs. He turned his attention on Rosalyn.

"I agree with Epros you stupid, stupid, evil king." She said, openeing her parasol back up and placing it back over her head with dignity.

"You hog of woman. Why don't you just jump in a hole and die, or feed yourself to a shark. There's one right outside of town."

Rosalyn opened up her mouth for a retaliation, but was cut off by a shout of surprise.

Showered by bits of moist muffin, the group jumbed, startled by a war cry resembling a maniac laughter mixed with a highpitched pig-like squeal of excitement.

"I WAS THE MUFFIN THE WHOLE TIME!" Exclaimed a muffin coated little girl with flaming orange hair wisping out from under a blue snow cap. The group just stared at her bewildered.

"DID I SURPRISE YA'?!" she returned their blank stares with a wide smile.

She crossed her arms and put on a pouty face. "Gosh, i thought thered be at least a little more excitement," perking up she added, "But of course, you have no idea who I am."

The girl cast off her muffin-y hoodie to reveal a dark blue t-shirt with a graphic of a half eaten cookie.

"I am...THE COOKIE EVIL KING!"

"AN EVIL KING!" the group gaped in unison.

"Yep, That's right. Me, Cookie, am a Great and Powerful evil king. When the realms are mine..."

"Enough talk twerp. Lets take this outside." Stan demanded of the spazzy little girl.

"But why? After all, i spent so much time creating this delightful battle arena." Cookie said hurt.

"Arena?" Rosalyn said giving a confused look to all the tables of sweets. Ari replied with a shrug.

"Yes, My arena. I challenge you all to an Eating Contest!" She said jumping up on a table and pointing swirling about to point at them.

Big bull looked excited and actually, so did Linda.

"I bet you could eat the whole building fat legs." Stan said in a-matter-o-fact way. Rosalyn glared at him in return.

"Eat this!" shouted cookie and all at once, every baked good in the emporium hovered in the air about a foot above the tables. They stayed suspended there for a few moments before flying at the friends at full speed.

"HOLY CRA-" was all Stan could say before being slapped in the face with a Lollipop. But the treats didn't stop at the friends. They flew behind them and blocked the door with their globular mass. The mass then began to churn and change. They sprouted limbs and formed mouths and empty eye sockets. Soon, standing before them were three massive monsters compiled of goopy sweets.

"Oh no," Ari said hanging his head.

"Here we go again. Let's do this!" Big B shouted pumped.

"Eat Hero Woman, Eat Like There's Not A Tomarrow!" I don't have to tell you who said that.

The friends were on the creatures in moments. They hacked, slashed, and threw spells at it, but nothing seemed to work. The creatures would just regenerate limbs, the only thing that changed was how they looked. Starting as a clump of gathered food, they were now turning into clay-like mush. Cookie sat by watching in amusement.

"This isn't working," Rosalyn huffed as she took yet another swing at one of the Monsters.

"For once the Stupid One is right," Stan agreed.

"Shut up you stupid moronic idiot of an imposter evil king!" retorted Rosalyn.

"This isn't the time to fight you two. We need another plan, it's true." Epros interjected.

"What if we do try eating them?" Linda Questioned pushing away one of the advancing blobs.

"Why don't you sing and scare them off," Stan whispered so that only Ari could hear.

Big B ran over to the group, his fire did nothing but make the room smell like burning sugar. "I think it's worth a shot"

"Thats kind of gross..." Marlene said just a bit revolted by the ever more disgusting looking things.

"I don't see how else we could do it," Ari said looking at the waiting monsters, and then glancing over at the smirking Cookie Evil King.

"Why do we bother with these? Why don't we go straight for Cookie?" Rosalyn asked pointing at Cookie. Her smirk vanished immediatly.

"Hey! I told you this was an eating contest. Right from the beggining i told you how to defeat them. But it's been so much fun to watch you try to destroy them in other ways."

The group hung their heads in a unison sigh. They were so eager to win and they dismissed what she said.

Stan ignored the monsters and took a cheap shot at Cookie. She fell to the ground engulfed by the purple-black energy.

"Stan!" Cookie whined, "Your no fun!"

"HaH! I win!" He stated triumphantly.

"Fine, If that's the way the cookie crumbles. HAHAHA, cookie---Hee---Crumbles..................Chew."

"THERE YOU ARE!" Came a familiar voice from behind them as the door slammed open. The Authoress Evil King looked ticked.

"HI SIS!" Cookie smiled brightly.

"Sis?" Kisling inquired.

"We...Oh, You guys are here." she said noticing the group who had just defeated her yesterday. "Say good bye Cookie, we have lots of things to do."

"Ok," She ran up and threw her arms around Stan giving him a tight hug, "See You Later!" Then she ran out the door.

The Authoress looked at the grotesque food blobs. She threw a flaming ball of vaporizing black magic that caused them to dissapear in a wisp of smoke.

"Later," she said lifting her hand in a half wave before exiting.

Cookie's head poked back in the door for a few moments, "Bye Stan. Bye Ari....Bye Stan," She said stalkerishly before leaving.

"That was weird." Ari said.

"A-men to that." Marlene added.

"She Hugged me!"

"Lets get out of here," Rosalyn said leading the way.

"She...Hugged...Me" Stan twitched.

"Yes Stupid Evil king she did. Come on." Rosalyn said yanking on the back of his suit.

"Ow, Hey! Let me go you fat wench!"

"Make me!"

"May the gods spare us an awful fate. And let this fighting cease to irritate."

"Good luck with that one Epros." Ari scoffed as he follwed him out the door.

And thus was the encounter with the Cookie Evil King. Tune in whenever i update to find out what they'll fight next.
