Rachel appeared in the Candyland Palace. She was wearing a rainbow dress and a cape, and the crown was on her head. All of the princesses were gathered around. Even Collie, the fairy-princess of the Cotton Candy Clouds, was there at the palace. This was the first time Collie had been invited to a meeting at the palace with the other princesses. Mystery was there as well.
“What did you need me for?” asked Rachel to the rest of the princesses.
“Let Collie tell you,” said the Queen, and Collie began her story.
“I was hanging out with Mystery in the Cotton Candy Clouds earlier today. We were having tea, when we heard noises on the other side.”
“Noises?” asked Rachel.
“Yes! Loud thumping sounds!”
“I didn’t see anything,” said Mystery. “But I heard them, too.”
“But I thought the other side was the end of Candyland?” Rachel said.
“I don’t think so,” said Collie.
“Then we must send someone across the Cotton Candy Clouds to see,” said Rachel.
“That’s why you’re here!” said Collie. “We think you can cross the Cotton Candy Cloud wall!”
“Me?” said Rachel.
“Yes, you,” said the Queen. “I have a gift for you.”
“What is it?”
The queen placed a locket in Rachel’s hands. It had five different sections: one rainbow, one pink, one green, one red and one purple. “Legend says this locket once belonged to the lost princess. That’s you, Rachel! When your friends need your help, their color will light up. It’s similar to the Summoner, but it can only summon your four friends. Legend says it has a secret power no one has discovered in our age of Candyland. Take the locket and hold it to your heart, then you can cross the Cotton Candy Cloud wall and go into the place no one has ever been! As long as I’ve had the locket, I never thought there was anything beyond the wall.”
“You’re the only hope left!” said Princess Collie.
“Wow,” said Rachel.
The queen placed the locket around Rachel’s neck. The queen asked her to hold it to her heart, and when she did, she disappeared into thin air!
