Somewhere while Chasing
Somewhere while Chasing Vermeer on a silent and still night, an incredibly frigid aqua aguana crept towards a the faint warmth emanating from a large structure, not far in the distance. A slim beam of light shown through the door, distinctly yellow in comparison to the luminous moon looming up above. The aguana timidly inched its way past an alluring spectrum of light cast through a glass prism with the name "Alice" engraved into its smooth clear surface. As is squeezed past, and through the miniscule entrance, her attention was captured by an unfamiliar aroma. Scurrying into an obscure corner, she glimpsed a large ornately decorated sign reading "Super Jwyn's Bakery." Suddenly she saw it. Next to a large pot of Lobster Bisque, a tray filled with an an assortment of various cookies. After cautiously scanning her new environment for potential threats, she scuttled over to the cooling rack, snatching a single chocolate chip cookie and slinking off, back into the freezing night... The game was afoot!

I lurked behind the trees, knowing that the only way for me to retrieve the cookie again would be through strategy and eavesdropping. After listening to a sufficient amount of Jaybells' conversation, I summoned my AEs to help me.
"What? I don't want to break the laws!" said Gale.
"Cookie? Where? I want a cookie!" said Breeze.
"No, it's against the law!"
"No, actually, as catch-the-cookie threads are an essential part of the culture of the CB, they are NOT against the law. But that is not the point," I told them, "because we are trying to gain the cookie any way we can. Listen, I've been listening to Jaybells, and she has a decoy cookie. Breeze, you take the decoy. Gale, you take her spare. While she's confused, I'll go in for the real one. I'm trusting both of you!"
Without waiting for further instructions, they both plunged in and accomplished their jobs. I advanced in the aftermath and spoke up simply.
"Yes, that would be me, Jaybells. Now hand over the cookie and no one has to get hurt."
Grumbling, she did as requested and turned to go. I immediately grabbed the broomstick on my back and soared into the air, calling my AEs to cover me. Breeze called a light breeze to propel me while Gale caused a slight storm around me so that others could not attack.
But none of us expected an attack from...

Me! I swoop in on my own Firebolt 17, grab the cookie, and sweep off, covered by magic disruptions mounted on the broom. However, that didn't protect it from...
(February 24, 2019 - 7:14 pm)
...Me!
I swoop up, make a fancy loop around Catsclaw, and snatch the cookie from her grasp. It's a good thing it's wrapped, or else it would be pretty nasty right now, I muse. As I'm thinking, I hear a voice shout "Geronimoooooooo" and my head snaps up just in time to see a massive... THING? bearing down on me and grabbing the cookie.
(February 24, 2019 - 9:37 pm)
Hehehe, Jaybells transformed into that Nightwing again, and let me get onto her back, temporarily forging an uneasy truce. But when the cookie comes into sight, I leap off of her back, plummeting towards the target. I shout, distracting the previous holder, and all the while grabbing the pastry. While watching her broomstick zoom away in satisfaction, I suddenly realize that I am still hurtling towards the earth with nothing much to stop my fall. I crash land into a spacious plain that I neglect appreciate, as I am too preoccupied groaning in pain. The cookie, I soon notice, is gone, though. Taken by none other than...

I'm a boy...

She had watched it all play out, and as Lune-Lyne recklessly dove, promptly crashing into the ground, the cookie fell from her hand, clattering to a halt right in front of Sierra. Even though she didn't believe in the five-second rule, she still quickly picked it up, and slowing stalked away to avoid attracting any attention.
(February 28, 2019 - 3:04 pm)
Gracefully sweeping down towards Sierra, while Conan muttered about the lack of strategy, Jaybells snatches the cookie, and glides off into the now setting sun. Winter (or night, rather) is coming.
(March 4, 2019 - 6:35 am)
I teleport directly in front of Jaybells, making her stop short and shriek in surprise. I laugh evilly and grab the cookie, then teleport to a remote island in middle of the ocean. Certain that no one will find me here, I relax and get ready to finally have this well-deserved cookie - until I realize that someone had teleported along with me! I back away in horror, but they snatch the cookie and disappear.
(March 5, 2019 - 4:12 pm)
I snatch the cookie and disappear thanks to a bit of copying magic! I apear in Logan's room.
"Hey Logan!" I shout at my AE "Make a copy of this cookie!" I throw her the cookie.
"Okay Moonlight!" She yells back laughing. just as she is finishing the new cookie someone tackles me and grabs the real cookie! I turn and glare at....
(March 5, 2019 - 5:22 pm)
... Kitten! Her long brown hair swept behind her, Kitten grinned evilly and said, "You didn't really think you could get away with that, did you?" She turned on the spot and disappeared with a loud crack!
When she appeared, Kitten was in the middle of a dense forest. The few rays of sunlight that made it through clearly shone on her delighted face as she began to bite into the cookie.
(March 7, 2019 - 10:27 pm)
Ella rushed out fron her place among the trees and snatched the cookie out of Kitten's hands. Ted followed in close pursuit. Kitten chased after a panting Ella. Kitten had almost caught her when...
Poosh!
Ella found herself floating on a cloud car. Looking around, she noticed Andrea holding her hand, as she was the poosher, Sammy feeding Frank, and Zeke, annoyed, driving it towards victory.
"Got the cookie?" Zeke inquired
"Myup."
Sammy touched the cookie, repairing it into perfect condition.
"Guess we're a team, huh, Zekey-boy?" Ella teased.
"Don't call me that, El. Plus, this is only-"
A comet smashed headfirst into the car, causing a lot of screaming, tooting, and barking!
"MAYDAY!MAYDAY!" Andrea Screeched. "WE ARE GOING DOWN!"
However, Upon landing, they fell into a bigger cloud in a desert. They thanked their savior, who they found was holding the cookie, and none other than...
(March 11, 2019 - 7:38 am)
Grabbing the cookie and diving into a nearby oasis, I escape! But alas, before long a shadowy figure zips past, a cloud of bubbles blinding me as it propulses itself forwards with broad strokes.
(March 24, 2019 - 11:44 am)
Hehehehe! Ella-Belle bursts to the surface of the oasis, and sprouts wings before being tackled by a now-very-determined, bespectacled 7-year-old boy, wearing a blue dress-suit and his signature bright red bow-tie, which were miraculously already dry.
"Not again, you don't!" He shouted, kicking his football (soccer-ball) into her hand, knocking the cookie free --and right into Jaybells'.
"Thanks, Conan." Grinned Jaybells.
"Of course," he replied, still looking a bit disgruntled.
But, before they could start getting too tiresome, the cookie was once again reclaimed, this time by...
(March 24, 2019 - 2:23 pm)
Me! Sorry, Conan. I think, as I make my hasty retreat. As I speed off on my pair of master roller-skates, the sand trips them up, so I head for solid ground with a less arid climate. Little do I realise that was exactly what my next opponent was waiting for, as is soon demonstrated when the prized confection is rather rudely taken from me by a Chatterboxer known simply as....
Bella says arid!
(March 24, 2019 - 4:38 pm)
Moonlight! I run dangerously fast as I snatch the cookie from Sierra.
"Next time be less predictable!" I yell at her. I teleport somewhere which has the ruins of a castle. I look up at the sunset. Sadly before I realize someone was waiting for me and steals the cookie! I turn and chase after...
