Novel & Cerita Gumdrop Mountain Candyland

“Alright, listen. How about this? If you stand up, I’ll give you another candy.” One of his big eyes peeked out from behind his arms. “What kind?” “The good kind.” I pulled another lollipop from my bag and waved it in front of him like a magician showing off a trick. His eyes followed it instantly, suspicious but tempted. “Two,” he bargained. I almost laughed. “Fine. Two. But only if you get up.” Slowly, stubbornly, he uncurled from the ground and snatched the lollipop from my hand. Before I could even blink, a cotton candy vendor walked by, spinning those fluffy clouds of sugar on a stick. Max’s eyes lit up like Christmas.

They dashed into the nearest building, a supermarket named Happy Mart, alongside other people seeking shelter from the rain. “Where’s my cotton candy?” Felix asked, looking at the stick that he had been holding. When he had left the amusement park, a large ball of cotton candy had been attached to the other end. “It got dissolved in the rain. Did you know that cotton candy would melt if it came in contact with liquid?” Cassie asked pausing from wringing out her hair to stare at him quizzically. She snickered when he shook his head. “You’re so sheltered.”

"You're in charge of these, prince." "I won't lose them! I promise!" He clutched the tickets like precious artifacts. "Popcorn?" I asked Madison. "He'll want the large with extra butter." "And candy?" "Gummy bears. The sour ones." I ordered at the concession stand, watching the teenager pile butter onto popcorn that could feed a small army. Madison grabbed napkins, lots of them, clearly preparing for an inevitable mess. Ethan carried his gummy bears with reverence. "Can I eat them during the movie?"

Dylan was still unsure of everything but he knew for Noah he could do it. As he touched down on Sugartop Mountain he instantly saw just how small of a scale it was compared to all the other realms they had been in previously. It was warm despite being a ski resort but this would have been exactly what Jill wanted. The resort seemed to be populated by living sweets. The snow was made entirely of powdered sugar and all kinds of living cakes and sweets could be seen leaving the log cabins. The cakes and sweets all strangely resembled people. Dylan couldn’t be sure whether it was how they were created or whether this was their own doing.

Today is the day of the Candy Wonderland party to raise funding for the women’s shelter and the children’s hospital. The ole ladies and locals have really outdone themselves. The clubhouse and club grounds look magical. Giant pink and white cane canes stand on either side of the clubhouse steps. There are big lollipops in various colours and individual candies decorated all around. Some hanging from the branches of trees and in the grass on display. There are huge ice cream cones, donuts, cakes, balloons with confetti that look like sugar strands, giant gummy bears, jelly beans that are little chairs. The place would give the witch from Hansel and Gretel a serious case of envy.

“Hmm, it is sweet – I wonder how they do this.” “Don’t be too amazed. They simply heat the sugar and spin it unto this stick. They call this, candy floss .” Caelum stuffed the cloud delight on my hand and finished his popcorn, “There’s one ride we haven’t tried yet, come on!” He dragged me over the big wheel that is turning slowly, guiding me as we load inside the metal baskets. The big wheel ascends and I am mesmerized, “This ride is called a Ferris wheel.”

The cotton candy is so close, I just need to stretch just a little bit and feel the sugar melting in my mouth. Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it... When I am a few inches from my goal, I hear a loud, annoying noise and start to fall. I scream as loud as I can and try to stretch my arms to hold on to the cotton candy, but it’s too late, the best invention of gastronomy is gone...

Asty glanced over to the Instructor and found him, smiling pleasantly at her. "You seem nervous," Yuran handed over a piece of candy. "I hope this eases you a bit." Asty smiled at him and took the candy from his palms. "Thank you, Sir." It was a piece of honey flavored chews. A confectionary sweet made from sugar cane, sweetened milk, eggs and of course- honey. In Chesterfawn, it was customary to bring a candy along with your travels. It relieves stress and entertains you a bit during a long ride. However it is noted that sweets are usually found more in the cities and capitals, and only the fortunate could buy a pack of these candies.
