Candyland Returns: The Secret Locket (Chapter 14)

Avery imagined a slide all the way down to the bottom of the mountain. They all slid down the slide. One of the gummy bears, who was a doctor, brought her to a bed in a gummy house. Just as the gummy bear was about to give her medicine, Charlotte remembered that last time she had been in Candyland, she swam in chocolate milk with Marista, the mermaid and her friends. She realized she wasn’t allergic to chocolate when she was in Candyland, which was great news! She had just been overreacting. 

“Wait, I’m ok! I can have chocolate!” she said to the gummy bear doctor. The gummy bear was gray. She had never tasted that flavor! 

Charlotte looked down as she was lying in bed. She saw a friendship bracelet with an “R” on it. Charlotte put the bracelet in her pocket and came running out of the house to tell her friends and sister that she wasn’t allergic to chocolate in Candyland. The gummy bear doctor followed. 

Charlotte said, “I’m feeling much better, thank you! Doctor Gummy, what flavor are you?” 

The gummy doctor said, “Cherry.” 

“But you’re gray, not red!” said Charlotte.

“My magic was drained, and that drains my flavor. The mountain was invisible because its magic was drained.”

The four friends had a big task in front of them. Not only did they have to warn Rachel about Collie, but they had to figure out how to stop the magic from being drained in this world. 

“I’m going to disappear soon, and then I’ll be invisible forever, unless the girl returns and saves us like she promised,” moaned the doctor gummy bear. 

Charlotte then turned around. “What girl? Is it Rachel?”

“I didn’t catch her name,” said the adorable and moany gummy bear. “But she had blonde hair and a determined look on her face.”

“That’s Rachel!” said Charlotte. She showed her friends the friendship bracelet with the “R” on it.

Avery said, “Can I see that? Yes, Rachel was here. That’s a fact. We made these this morning before she disappeared!” 

They had to find out where she went. They looked around. She could have gone back over the mountain, or she could have ran through the woods. 

“She went that way!” moaned the gummy bear, pointing to the candy-cane woods. “And then she disappeared! She’ll never return. I should accept my fate.” 

The gummy bear laid on the ground and made the sound “Ugh”. Then the little gummy bear disappeared. They couldn’t see him anymore and he couldn’t speak to them anymore. Charlotte wiped a tear from her eye. 

“We might have a chance of still saving him, but only if we find out where Rachel is and act brave!” said Charlotte. “I’m the princess of power, and I don’t give up!” 

She ran into the candy-cane woods. The three girls followed behind.
