She saw licorice rope wrapping around the gummy bears. They were losing their colors and turning gray! Then when she looked behind her, the mountain disappeared! It was invisible because it was losing its color and magic! One of the cherry gummy bears said, in an adorable voice, “Help us! It’s draining my flavor!” Rachel ran rapidly, taking off the licorice, but it starting wrapping around the trees around them! Then she saw a fire in the corner of the village. She said, loudly so that they could all hear her, “Take off the licorice from every creature and throw it into the fire quickly! Then it might lose its life and become regular licorice, which happens to be my favorite candy.”
They threw the licorice into the fire.
“Defend your village! I have to hurry on and see where this licorice is coming from!”
She expected it to come from the chocolate mountains. She ran through the candy-cane tree woods, unraveling licorice from every tree she saw. The trees all came to life and started helping each other! “Defend your forest!” she yelled as she left through the woods.
When she came to the Sour Patch Kids Village, they surrounded her with candy cane spears and they were sharp.
“Why did you come to our town?” they demanded. “To bring more licorice?”
“No! I came to save you! I’m the Lost Princess!” said Rachel.
“From the Legend!” said one of the sour patch kids. “Your destiny is to come and save us from this licorice!”
They put down their candy cane branch spears. She saw through the woods bouncing and jumping licorice and it was coming towards them! It started to cover their sugar-coated gummy houses! The sour patch kids were trapped in balls of tangled up licorice.
Rachel was standing next to a little orange sour patch kid, so they both were trapped inside a licorice ball. He had a spear. She grabbed it and cut open the side of the licorice dome they were stuck in. But it immediately grew back together like it hadn’t been cut at all. She was stuck! The longer she was stuck here, the more magic would be drained and she wouldn’t be able to save Candyland. Then she imagined the licorice could travel beyond the Cotton Candy Clouds and destroy her friends on the other side of Candyland, too, sucking them into a black hole of some sort! Rachel learned about black holes in science. She couldn’t let that happen!
She took the spear, and from the bottom she sliced upwards, across the top and down the other side in one quick swipe. She quickly grabbed the sour patch kid’s hand and ran out before it closed up again. If they had been a little bit slower, it could have cut their legs off while they were jumping out. Rachel was in warrior-mode!
She sliced down domes of licorice with the spear, one after another, freeing the kids from their dome cages as they leaped out before it closed back around them. The sour patch kids saw what she was doing so they grabbed their spears, spread chocolate warrior paint on their faces with their fingers, and started slicing licorice domes open to free their friends. Soon they had sliced them all in half and freed all their friends. Then they threw all the licorice they could find into the fire, where they had been roasting marshmallows earlier. Rachel tried to give back the spear to the little orange sour patch kid, but he responded in his little adorable voice, “You keep it! You’ll need it more than we do!”
