Pure vanilla was walking along the sidewalk, he wasn't accompanied by anyone he was aware of so he would occasionally hum to himself or pick up some fallen flowers (because never would he rip a flower off a bush T_T)
Soon, he came across a bench and sat down opening his eyes and looking around at the trees and many plants nearby.
Shadow milk cookie thought of how much he could provoke pure vanilla this moment, he turned from his normal form into a blue bird and chirped coming nearer pure vanilla cookie.
Pure vanilla noticed the bird at once and smiled saying
„Hello bluebird"
He stuck out his hand for the bird to land, and as he did so he added
„following me again have you?" Pure vanilla cookie looked suddenly so joyful and you could even see a sparkle of light in his eyes.
Shadow milk cookie didn't think much of this until pure vanilla cookie placed him next to himself and sighed saying
„Why have you come here shadow milk cookie"
Shadow milk cookie stopped thinking for a second. How could he- how did he know it was him!! Impossible! He had done this before. Could it be that pure vanilla awakening meant he could sense shadow milk cookies presence?!
This wasn't good. He had hated every thought of pure vanilla cookie! The way he thought he understood everyone, the way he was so gullible and hopeful. The way he- there was no point listing things. Since the list would go on and on and on and on.
But now. Seeing pure vanilla cookie after everything, he felt sorry. For abandoning him like that. For shouting at him. For tormenting him. For nearly killing his friends. For making him someone he's not. For destroying his own kingdom. For crushing so many cookies.
Why would anyone want to give him a second chance? But no! He wasn't sorry! He didn't feel any remorse! And yet, all he wanted to do was cry out. What was this?!
Shadow milk cookie returned to his normal form and sat down not daring to look pure vanilla cookie in the eyes. Pure vanilla had no idea about the war his conscience were having.
"I'm glad you're here, shadow milk cookie. I don't think we left off pretty good did we?"
Pure vanilla smirked to himself and awaited shadow milk cookies response.
"Guess not" he looked vanilla strait in the eyes, just now realising how much understanding and empathy they held. It felt like he would say anything and pure vanilla would understand. Would care.
"Look I-I'm. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I'm Truely an awful cookie aren't I?" Shadow milk cookie vented. He felt a salty feeling near his eyes, were those tears? He's never experienced this before.
"Shadow milk cookie. You're not awful. Every cookie makes mistakes. As well as every cookie is capable of redemption." Pure vanilla cookie now stood up from the bench and looked at shadow milk cookie knowingly. As if he'd knew this moment would come. And had practiced it over and over.
"Tell me shadow milk cookie, would you wish to be my friend?" It was all happening again. Just like last time. Though. Something in the atmosphere feels different. It's the same words and position and yet everything else is different.
Shadow milk cookie stammers. Not knowing how to respond,
"Y-you deserve someone better. I'm still an awful cookie no matter what I do. You can find a better friend than me anywhere you look!"
"But I don't want any other friend" pure vanilla cookie smiles gently reaching out his hand
"Your the only friend I'd ever want"
(I'm so sorry that was very cheesy)
Shadow milk cookies eyes got watery again and without processing anything he takes pure vanilla cookies hand. As their fingers intertwine he feels warmth in his hand. It's the most amazing feeling, a feeling of relief.
As shadow milk cookie stands up he gets embraced by pure vanilla cookie. He happily returned the hug and as the sun set slowly behind them he felt warmth flow through him again. This was the most amazing he had ever felt. Lost in an embrace, knowing this is going to be the start of a whole new life. A better life. Where he wouldn't have to be lonely anymore. Where he'd have a friend.
