Affogato Cookie stayed up all night studying on how to cure Caramel Arrow Cookie. At this point, he would do anything to see that smile of hers again. It made him feel warm inside. Like someone had decided to light a fireplace in his heart. He loved that feeling as much as he loved the archer before him. Maybe even less, depending on his mood. He decided to finally get rest at 4:28 AM since he had done enough work. After he put everything down, he immediately fell asleep at his desk unable to move anymore.

"Affogato Cookie?"

"....."

"Affogato Cookie!"

"H...huh?"

"Wake up."

Affogato Cookie sat up. He realized what had happened least night. The cookie managed to overwork his body again. Maybe that's why he suddenly stopped working and fell asleep. He cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. "Yes? What happend??" He asked looking over at her.

She then slid him a box. He looked inside to see half of the ingredients he needed for his project. How did she manage to find this? So quickly, too....he thought as he looked through the ingredients. Caramel Arrow Cookie sat down with a sigh. It looked like she didn't want to move at all anymore. He then noticed something in her arm. "Caramel....why is there an arrow sticking out of your arm??"

"Obvious ambush. I saw it coming though. Luckily that was the only place I was hurt"

"I...see" Affogato said looking back down at the box. Seeing her hurt like this filled him with rage. The arrow was a weird purple color too, with the tip looking like -> ♤ (Lol, sorry). The more he examined the Arrow, the more worried he became. What if there was something on it?? What if the arrow does something to Caramel? What can he do if she develops a sickness with no cure? He felt sad, angry, scared, worried....too many emotions to even explain at this point. What was this girl doing to him?? "How many cookies did you get ambushed by?"

"Just one. She was an easy one to scare away too..." Caramel explained in an exhausted voice. He then knew why she was so tired. Another stage of the snake bite was kicking in: A depletion of energy. This was not a good sign either. Affogato carried her over to a nearby comfy area to lay, and set her down there. "You must stay here, and rest." He said, laying her down.

"No...I need to help with your project. You, are not changing my mind." She stated, trying to get up. Seeing her just struggling to sit up hurt him on the inside. He wishes he could just kiss her, and hug her tight saying reassuring things like 'Everything will be alright' or 'I will always be here for you'...even though it will never happen. Affogato layed her down once more, but with an expression of sadness. "Why...why are you looking at me like t-that?" She asked with a shiver.

"Please just lay here. For your saftey...

"I will be fine. Yo-you are just overreacting. I can h-h-handle myself-"

"You are shivering like you are only wearing a t-shirt in antarctic. Caramel, as much as I want to have this exciting journey with you...I cannot." He said before walking out of the cave. If he stayed there any seconds longer, he was going to do something to her that Caramel Arrow Cookie would slap him for. Once he was far enough, Affogato Cookie sighed and sat against a tree. The love of his life is dying, because he didn't give a specific order to his snake- no, because of him in general. If he never decided to overthrow the king, his life would still be as amazing as it used to be. He would have a higher change of making Caramel his one and only. A snake then slithered under his hand. "Hey, there..." he said with a sigh.
