The Candyland Big Adventure: Chapter 1

“I want strawberry!” said Charlotte, as she blew her dark brown hair out of her hazel eyes. 

The five girls were waiting in line at the ice cream shop in their town in New Jersey.

Rachel, who had blonde shoulder-length hair, asked, “Why strawberry? I like vanilla.” 

“I’ll take chocolate!” said Lea. Lea had beautiful brown skin with black curly hair that she wore in two buns.

“I’ll take the same!” said Kate, Lea’s best friend. Kate had freckled cheeks and long wavy red hair, worn it in two ponytails. Rachel, Lea and Kate were all 10 years old and had been friends since kindergarten. 

“What kind do you want, Avery?” asked 11 year old Charlotte. 

Charlotte’s little sister Avery was 9 years old, had shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes along with a big imagination. Avery replied, “I don’t know. I like birthday cake?”

As they ate their ice cream, something big and bright appeared. Kate asked Rachel what it might be. Rachel decided the only way to find out was to bravely jump right in it, so she did. The rest of them followed with fear. 

All of a sudden they were in a gingerbread village! The houses were built out of candy canes and gingerbread! 

“Where are we?” asked Kate, and she jinxed with Lea. 

“Jinx, you owe me a soda!” said Lea, before Kate could say it. 

“I think we have a bigger problem,” said Avery. “The bright light is gone!”

Then Kate saw a big owl in the sky. She started making animal calling sounds and it flew down and landed on her shoulder. It said, “I’m Mystery.” 

Kate gasped and said, “How did you talk to me?” 

“I can talk to anyone who is a princess, especially a Princess of Kindness.” 

Kate said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Then they looked down and they were wearing capes, masks and tiny crowns! They were princesses!

“I have a theory,” said Charlotte. “Pinch me really, really hard, Avery!” 

Avery pinched her big sister, but nothing happened. 

“Guess I’m not dreaming!” said Charlotte.
