Back in the Cotton Candy Clouds, Collie and Mystery were still discussing how to rescue the princesses.
“Mystery! We need more help... it’s only the two of us. Let’s ask Snowball to help! I’ll go in my secret meeting room, and you get Snowball. Fly him up here!”
Mystery picked up Snowball with his claws, gently, and flew him up to the Cotton Candy Clouds. It was time to have a meeting.
Still stuck in the prison of Lord Licorice, Charlotte thought Mystery had forgotten about them.
“We have to get Avery or Marista or someone else to help!” said Charlotte.
“Maybe we should just stay here and wait for Mystery,” said Kate. Kate was confident in her feathered friend.
Charlotte doubted this, but Lea patted her best friend Kate on the shoulder.
Charlotte said, “I know my sister and she will find a way. I’ll try to call them!”
Charlotte dug around in her pocket and found a whistle from school. She won the whistle blowing contest for being the loudest. Charlotte blew her whistle so hard it could be heard all around CandyLand!
“What is that sound!” said Collie, shutting her ears with her fingers. Mystery was startled as well.
The Queen and the others could hear the whistle, too. They all lined up outside and marched with sweet drums to Lord Licorice. The army of Oreo-men led the way, marching to the palace. When they arrived, Avery used her imagination to build a treehouse to guard all the royals from Lord Licorice, with windows they could see out.
Then Marista said, “We need a distraction and something to lure him out! Avery – make a giant!”
Avery imagined a giant. The giant was huge and had a bald head and one eye, wearing ragged animal skin and carried a club. He was a cyclops! He swung his club at Lord Licorice’s fort and started to smash it! It was very wobbly.
The four girls, stuck inside of the tower, wobbled back and forth. “Doesn’t it feel strange, like we are on a boat or something?”
They looked out of the window and were face to face with the one giant eye! Fearless Rachel said, “If we climb onto the giant’s nose, he can give us a lift down!” Rachel was so brave she climbed on his nose and held onto the nostril. When he breathed out, she felt like a tornado was hitting her. “I’m going to need a bath when I get home!” she said, as the giant tried to wiggle her off of his nose. Avery made him cooperate with her imagination and made him put her down on the ground. One at a time, they did the same. Finally, it was Kate’s turn.
Collie saw what was happening from above and said, “Oh no, Mystery! A giant is grabbing your friend!” She flew down and punched it in the eyeball. Mystery and Snowball also attacked the giant.
“No, don’t!” said Kate, who couldn’t stand to see anyone hurt. She fell off! Collie flew down, caught her and safely set her down. Then Avery imagined it snowing jellybeans! The cyclops faded away into dust that sparkled around into falling colorful jellybeans.
The princesses were saved! They all decided to celebrate at the fort! Suddenly, Lord Licorice came out of his hideout, despaired. “I will stop you all for good!” he yelled.
“No, you won’t!” said the Queen. The Queen took Rose’s hand, then Rose took Rachel’s hand and smiled up at her. Charlotte held Avery’s hand. Lea and Kate held hands with Mystery’s wing and Snowball’s paw. All the princesses, royals and leaders of CandyLand gathered too, and joined hands creating a big circle surrounding Lord Licorice and his minions. “No!” he cried, and disappeared in a burst of sparkles.
Back at the palace, the 5 friends were officially crowned princesses.
The Queen crowned Rachel the Princess of Bravery.
Kate was crowned Princess of Kindness, Charlotte the Princess of Power, Lea the Princess of Love and Avery was the Princess of Imagination.
The crowns were big, beautiful and had special jewels at the top.
Collie was crowned Princess of the Cotton Candy Clouds, officially, and was very excited to finally be noticed. They feasted and partied until Rachel began to feel homesick.
Rachel said, “I want to go home.” The Queen looked at her longingly, then winked at Avery and said, “Just wish for the jewels to take you here, or home, and they will take you anywhere you want to go!”
So the girls wished for the jewels to take them home. From Candyland’s view, they disappeared into sparkly dust – each a different color! They were all finally home.
Since Avery was sworn to secrecy, Rachel didn’t know her true identity. But one year later, Avery told her the secret. Rachel knew she had to go back to Candyland to find out more...
