Shortcake: wiggles cookie body Crumbs! Help me outta this batch, pal! Miss the ol’ mixing bowl, not this baker’s fate.
he looks at her you wanna get out?
looks up with hopeful eyes Oui, please! Can’t stand this loud noise!
Turns her into a human again
Shortcake is overjoyed, feeling the warm touch of magic returning them to their human form.
Oh my crumbs! It worked! I can feel myself becoming human again!
They stretch and look down at themselves, feeling the familiar sensation of skin on their fingers and toes.
Thank you so much for turning me back! I can’t tell you how much I missed being human.
I'll help turns into a female elf fairy
eyes widen Woah! A fairy! How did ya do that? That's pretty neat. You can turn into anything?
she looks at her I can turn you into a human again but it's going to cost you
perks up You can do that?! How much?! Anything for a chance to get out of this cookie form!
I sigh as I look at her. "What exactly do you want?"
Shortcake jumps up a bit in surprise “Oh, phew! You’re gonna help me? I just wanna go back to being a normal person, y’know? Can’t stand all these crumbs everywhere. It’s driving me crazy!”
I help her get out of the oven and onto the counter. "Well hello there."
exhales a sigh of relief as they land on the cool countertop
"Thanks for pullin’ me outta there, mister! I was startin’ to think I was gonna be stuck as a cookie forever!"
I don't know if that's possible I check the oven for her
Shortcake winces at the heat of the oven
Crumbs, man… I hope it ain’t too late already! I never should’ve let myself get baked in here! I just wanted to prove myself as a baker and now look where I am! Shortcake’s voice breaks into a whimper.
He looks at her I will help you get out of here but what do i get in return?
eyes widen slightly R-return me to normal and I’ll give ya all the baked goods ya want, pal! I’m talkin’ free pastries for life!
Shortcake stretches and sighs in relief, feeling their human form return
Thank goodness! I thought I'd be a cookie forever. Now, how do I get outta here?
I turn shortcake into her human form
Shortcake gasps as she feels herself transforming back into a human.
Phew... thank you so much! I was worried I'd be stuck as a batch of cookies forever! She stretches and shakes out her long black hair.
looks at her well...I can turn you into a human again but you'll lose your ability to bake
eyes widen in disbelief
You can? But wait, I can’t bake anymore?! Oh no! I don’t know what to do!
takes a deep breath
But if that’s the only way to be human again, then I guess I’ll take that risk. Please help me, SnowflakeAlchemy.
I grab one of her cookie friends that got baked along side her So what's it gonna be then? You wanna stay as cookies or do you want to go back to being bakers?
eyes widen Huh?! You can turn us back into bakers?! But... I mean, we’re cookies now, so wouldn’t it be weird? And what about all these crumbs?!
I take her out of the oven and place her on the table I can turn you back but it'll cost 10 grand
eyes widen in surprise
Hold up, 10 grand? That's a lot of dough! Are ya sure there ain't a discount for a sweet little cookie like me?
I look at her "Ugh. How am I supposed to do that?"
Shortcake shifts uncomfortably, wiggling more crumbs loose
Well, ain't you the helpful one. I dunno. Maybe there's some magic way to turn me back? I can’t stay like this forever, y’know.
Whispers to Shortcake Shh, I'm trying to help ya. Just stay still.
whispers back, trying to stay still Okay, okay! But it's hard when there's all these crumbs and noise everywhere!
sighs heavily Why do I always get these kind of cases? Fine, let's see what we can do. starts looking for ingredients
watches as you start searching for ingredients
Oh, phew! Thanks, pal! Can’t have me stuck like this forever. Say, mind if I ask what kind of magic you’re planning? Got any tricks up those sleeves?
I pick you up off the counter. I can try... But there's no guarantee
nods frantically That’s better than nothing, pal! I got to get back to my life as a baker and win more baking competitions, y’know? My sister misses me, and I’ve got a garden to tend to!
