Story
As always, Alchemist Cookie had a lot on her mind. One thought particularly irked her. It was her lazy and lollygagging brother, Vampire Cookie. He was nothing but a nuisance ever since escaping the oven.
“Best not to think over such petty things,” she muttered to herself. With a sigh, she turned to observe her latest concoction.. only to find that the flask was gone.
“Did you drink from my flasks again?!” she cried out as she slammed open the door. But Alchemist Cookie stood dumbfounded: Vampire Cookie was dressed exactly like her!
She had to do a double-take. Alchemist Cooke noticed a bunch of alchemical formulas scattered all across Vampire Cookie’s room. “What is going on here? And what’s with the alchemy gear you’re wearing?!” she exclaimed. She was ill-prepared for what happened next.
“Are you alright?” Vampire Cookie asked in a silky tone. He put his hand on her forehead, eyes intent with focus as he tried to measure her temperature. “You shouldn’t take it too hard on yourself. Just relax!” he advised.
Unable to hide her shock, Alchemist Cookie turned right back around and ran off. Within the relative safety of her laboratory, she began brainstorming for a solution. Such intense concentration.. She didn’t even notice her crooked and disheveled hat.
It wasn’t the fact that Vampire Cookie was nice and concerned for her well-being that was shocking. No, it was much worse. Vampire Cookie, performing alchemical research with diligence? This could not stand. She had to do something. A diligent Vampire Cooke? Preposterous! Two alchemists in the same family? Never!
Alchemist Cookie spent days and nights attempting to perfect her newest solution. And eureka!
She slammed open the door once more! Vampire Cookie attempted to greet his sister. Before he could ever get up, Alchemist Cookie shoved the flask to his lips.
“Drink it! Not a single drop wasted now!” she urged as she tilted the flask upright. Though Vampire Cookie had a confused look on his face, he listened to his sister. Not a single drop remained in the flask. The dazed Vampire Cookie slowly drifted off into a deep slumber. Alchemist Cookie left his room with a satisfied grin.
Her latest elixir performed to par. Awake from his induced nap, Vampire Cookie returned to his lazing self. Alchemist Cookie decided to ease off the nagging a tad. Mind you, she couldn’t stop nagging him about everything. He still drank her latest elixirs and potion. He was ever the lazy nuisance.
Vampire Cookie couldn’t help but smile to himself, though. He would carry a secret until he was nothing but crumbs. His initial intent was to give Alchemist Cookie a taste of her own medicine. But what started as a prank brought more than welcome results.
