The figure stood

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

The figure stood

The figure stood on a bench, proud and tall, dressed in a black ninja suit. "This magnificent, warm, lovely cookie is mine! ALL MINE!!!" The figure burst into laughter, then slowly began to eat the cookie, laughing cruelly as if they were eating candy in front of a bunch of starving orphans.

Just as the cookie was about to touch the cruel stranger's un-cookie-deserving lips, I sprung into action, running over and grabbing... THE MOST AMAZING COOKIE IN THE UNIVERSE. The undeserving stranger looked at me angrily, but I, skilled in the fine art of cookie snatching, simply handed them a warm, plastic cookie replica and quickly ran away.

I jumped on top of a picnic table and declared my victory within a two-mile radius usig a megaphone. "THE COOKIE IS MINE!" I yelled joyfully.

Suddenly I became aware of a bunch of people eagerly eyeing my cookie.

This is basically a continuation of Shoshannah's original Cookie thread (The link is below, and it contains all the rules). Whoever has the cookie on September 21st wins the game and is allowed to eat the cookie!

As I drift through the woods in despair, wallowing in my misery, someone runs by me. Someone holding a cookie! I chase after them. It's that nefarious creature that stole my cookie before! I grab the cookie and climb a nearby oak tree. Once I'm settled between two large boughs, I open my mouth to take a bite.

The figure runs up the tree. "MINE." I whisper, before digging my claws into the trunk and climbing silently up after it. I pluck the cookie from the undeserving creature's hands and scramble down the tree. "Mycookiemycookiemycookiemycookiemycookiemy--"THWACK!

 

I ran straight into a perfectly placed rock.

I chuckle at the stunned Inktail. She had run full tilt into my perfectly placed rock. I snag the cookie and rush off as fast as I can for my secret bunker. But suddenly...

As I'm searching for who might have the cookie, I see a figure tripped over a rock and tumble to the ground - and the cookie is in its hand! I grab it and run off, silently so no one will know. I jump behind some bushes and prepare to take a bite, not noticing as a shadow fell over me...

The cookie is behind a clump of bushes. I sneak up and grab it. Then I run as fast as I can through the forest, sheltering in a clump of roots. I lift the cookie to my mouth and prepare to take a delicious bite.

The cookie is in my sight. I shape-shift into a wolf, then howl as loud as I can, trying to scare the cookie holder. She turns her head to look at me to see me leap past her and snatch the cookie away from her.
"AHA!! ITS MINE!!" I yell as I speed out of the woods and bolt through the diamond gates of Soak City the CB's largest fandom water park. I slow down to a trot, the cookie balancing on my muzzle and enter into the large plastic replica of the Misty Mountain. I walk into its food area, and sit on one of the benches. I lick my chops, then throw the cookie up into the air expecting a taist of the cookie when suddenly out of nowhere a figure runs by and snatches it out of the air.
"Wha??" I bark in shock. Disappointment settles on my face.
"I'm getting that cookie back," I growl.

I leap over Esquire's ghost, snagging the cookie out of mid air. Racing out of the theme park, I head off in search of somewhere deserted. Suddenly, someone slams into me and I fall to the ground, cookie rolling out of my grasp...

I run into Nebula and snatch the cookie in triumph. Just before I can bite into it, though, someone else pushes me and snatches the cookie from my grasp. 

I will have my revenge....

I snatch the cookie from Doctor Who's grasp, and my eyes twinkle. What a delicious looking cookie. And right as I bump into it, she slams into me again. 

*grumble* Guess she got the revenge she was talking about. 

Doctor Who?~

I evilly take the cookie from PinkPanther. She's down. Most are down. I look at the cookie and open my moth to eat it....

I spot two figures fighting over...something...beneath a tall oak tree. Not wanting to be seen, I sidle over and crouch behind the tree, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I slam into Doctor Who and snatch the cookie from her grasp. Thinking the cookie is mine for good, I begin to stroke it lovingly with my palm, only for it to be knocked out of  my hands by Pink Panther. I yelp angrily, snatch the cookie from its arms and run for my life, looking over my shoulder laughing...until

I, The Watcher, am proud to present the winner of the cookie, Esquire's Ghost! You may... eat the cookie! (Or if you wish to continue this, I suppose you could toss it away, and somebody else could catch it.)

To everybody else who participated, you get a popsicle!

As I open my mouth to eat the cookie I stop and look at it. The cookie was all crumbly, cold, sweaty and had a footprint on it. "Huh," I say aloud, "Looks like someone stepped on it. It doesn't even look edible!" I throw away the cookie and walk away. "What a waste of my day! I run around everywhere, then win only to find that it practically turned into a mutant cookie! UGH!" As I'm complaining I pull out a warm ghirardelli chocolate brownie. "I guess I could just eat this." As I am about to eat the brownie, I see a few people staring at my brownie.

Guess I should start running!
