Now imagine younger Wildberry meeting younger Crunchy Chip~
Oh noooooo, my hand is being forced against my will…
Please somebody stop me before I-
Some context:
*sigh* Looks like I made a WildChip childhood buddies AU. Whelp, too late to turn back now.
So anyways, this fun concept is not at all canon obviously. Just a what-if universe on what if these two knew each other as kids, both as young orphans taken in by their respective ancients. The timeline here is after the Dark Flour war but also before Dark Choco’s betrayal and Holly leaving for Beast Yeast.
Just to explain, Dark Cacao and Hollyberry agree to meet in person since they’ve stayed in touch in this AU rather than shutting themselves out. Just to talk about matters together and what to do going forward.
………….
*Rewinding hours before the boys’ “first” introductions in the art above.*
In one of the monarchs’ meetings unfortunately, when the Cacaoians traveled over to the Hollyberrian Kingdom, Dark Choco (who came to assist his dad) found a certain rascal who was supposed to be with Caramel Arrow back home:
Ah yes, the young cookie they rescued from a Cream Wolf trap in the wild. Ever since Dark Cacao saved his wolf family, little guy has been wanting to return the favour and his life debt.
Yeaaaaah, this was not supposed to happen.
Dark Choco struggled to keep Chip away from the king to prevent distraction but unfortunately lost sight of both him and his puppy in the Hollyberrian castle. Chip at some point split up with his buddy and now he’s looking for both of them in this giant maze of halls he’s never seen before. Lots of new sights and smells. Nothing like the bitter cold of the Dark Cacao kingdom. Where is he actually?
Until:
What a quiet, rude and strange-looking cookie! How dare he trip him! Who the heck reads in the middle of a hall anyway?! And not a single word or apology??
Whatever, he’ll exact his comeback later. The good news though? Chip found the king safe and sound ^^ (Looks like his little cream wolf brother beat him to it though)
Fortunately, Dark Cacao wasn’t too hard on the kid.
Meanwhile, Wild took in mind Holly’s lessons and with some self-control, left his encounter with this aggressive cookie to avoid further escalation. (See!! He remembers the Queen’s words of advice! :DD)
Holly was worried for a second since she’s aware that the Hollyberrian nobles tend to be harsh on the young street kid she took in. But she also became confused when Wild couldn’t say what House the other cookie was in. In fact, their dough wasn’t a berry flavour he could recognise at all.
But while they both went to snitch, they unfortunately caught their parent monarch at a busy time when they’re expecting to go and see a friend from the neighbouring kingdom any second now.
Some formalities and friendly exchanges later, the two ancients made some necessary introductions and uh….
Let’s just say Young Wild and Chip recognised the other cookie with a disgusted realisation-
