*puts aside the Bubble Pearl angst story*

*picks up Wildberry and Clotted Cream*

I haven't used you two in a while. But after what happened in the new Beast-Yeast episode...I have a new entry for the Angst War.

The story will be way before the PureLily wedding.

*The scene is set in the Crème Republic, inside the Custard Manor. In one of the rooms, Clotted Cream was sitting right next to a sleeping Wildberry. Clotted Cream is disheveled, looking like he hadn't slept in a long time.*

Clotted Cream:...

Wildberry: ...

Clotted Cream: *gently grabs his hand.* ...

*The bedroom door slowly opens to reveal a concern Light Cream and Elder Custard. They looked at each other before quietly walking in.*

Elder Custard: *gets as close as he can.* Clotted Cream...my son...*gently places his hand on Clotted Cream's shoulder* You need to rest. Wildberry is here and he's getting the best medical care. You don't need to worry about him crumbling.

Clotted Cream: ...

Light Cream: My dear. We know you love him and that you want to be here when he wakes up. But you cannot crumble yourself. You need to take care of yourself and of the children. They'll need you more than ever right now.

Clotted Cream: ...

Elder Custard: Clotted Cream-

Clotted Cream: It's so quiet.

Light Cream and Elder Custard: *eyes widen* !!!

Clotted Cream: Wildberry is quiet but he's never this quiet. *Tears start to form*

Light Cream: *pulls Clotted Cream into a hug* My dear child.

Clotted Cream: He promised to come back to us. He promised that he would be fine. *Tears fall* I...hic...I should have...

Elder Custard: Clotted Cream, you couldn't have known this was going to happen. Wildberry knew the risks of this mission and he was protecting Lady Hollyberry Cookie. While the team got caught in that Beast's trap, he made it out mostly in one piece. He'll be-

Clotted Cream: He wanted to marry me.

Elder Custard and Light Cream: !!!!

Clotted Cream: Two days before he left for Beast-Yeast, he asked me what I thought about being married. He said that he wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. *Tears fall harder* He wanted us to be a family. I...I...*starts wailing*

Because I know I didn't made it clear (which I don't blame anyone for. It's a big tree.)

Each panel is the families of Red Velvet, Madeleine, and Clotted Cream.

Madeleine and Espresso adopted Snow Sugar and co-parented with Frost Queen. Red Velvet and Pastry adopted Capsaicin and Pond Dino (pretty sure there will be more). Wildberry adopted Strawberry, Wild Strawberry, and Strawberry Crepe before Clotted Cream and Custard III moved in and became family.

In another AU~!

Crunchy Chip: Hey buddy! I brought you a little something for your tour of duty with Red Velvet's cousin. *hands him two sticks* One stick is to make his cousin keep his distance. The other stick is to fight him off or play fetch.

Wildberry: I can't believe I let myself get roped into this.

Red Velvet: *In the other room* Come on Clot! Don't be shy!

Crunchy Chip: I can only imagine what kind of beast is about to walk through that door. Oh! We should take a picture of it and remember how we fought it off! *takes out phone*

*Red Velvet and Clotted Cream walks in*

Clotted Cream: Hello, I'm Clotted Cream Cookie.

*Both Wildberry and Crunchy Chip stare with their jaws agape. Crunchy Chip puts away his phone and excitedly walks up to Clotted Cream, beating Wildberry.*

Crunchy Chip: Hi! I'm Crunchy Chip Cookie! You are handsome!

Wildberry: *pulls Crunchy Chip away* And you are in a relationship! Whereas I, Wildberry Cookie, am as free as air. Speaking of which, do you want to grab some?

Clotted Cream: *smiles* Sure.

Wildberry: *turns to Crunchy Chip* You can just reuse those sticks. *The two walk out*

Red Velvet: *calls out* Have fun! *turns to Crunchy Chip* I think they're gonna have fun. *Crunchy Chip punches him on the arm* Ow! What was that for?!

Crunchy Chip: Having a handsome cousin. *punches him again*

Red Velvet: Ow! What was that for?!

Crunchy Chip: Not telling me about him. *pauses for a second before punching him a third time*

Red Velvet: OW! What was THAT for?!

*The scene is set in the Cookie Kingdom where Stollen and Strawberry Cream are walking down the street. In Strawberry Cream's hand was a piece of paper.*

Stollen: Are you sure he's here? *Strawberry Cream nodded* Okay. Do you know his name?

Strawberry Cream: *pauses then shakes his head.*

Stollen: Do you know what he looks like?

Strawberry Cream: *pause before pointing at his eyes.* I know his eye color and his stare.

Stollen: His eyes? Really? That's the only thing you remember? *turns her back to him* What are you going to do? Stare at every Cookie you pass? That's not gonna- *turns around and Strawberry Cream is gone.* What the?! Oh come on!

*Cut to Strawberry Cream walking around and staring at every Cookie's eyes, causing them to flinch. This goes on until-*

Wildberry: What else do we have left on the list?

Clotted Cream: Just some milk. We should get a- *Strawberry Cream run up to them and stare into his eyes.* Oh! Um...hello there...um...can I help you?

*Strawberry Cream looks into Clotted Cream's eyes for a few seconds before backing up.*

Strawberry Cream: Sorry...It's not you. *Looks at Wildberry* You?

*Wildberry blinked before entering a staring contest with Strawberry Cream. This goes on for a good two minutes before Strawberry Cream pulled back.*

Strawberry Cream: Hmmm. Maybe. Not the right color but the stare is right. Sorry for staring.

*He turned around and was about to walk away when Wildberry grabbed the back of his collar and lifted him up. He then turned his attention to Clotted Cream.*

Wildberry: This is our son now.

Clotted Cream: Wha-!? Wildberry!!

Wildberry: We have room. *starts walking while holding Strawberry Cream like a kitten* Let's go show Red Velvet and Pastry.

Clotted Cream: Wildberry!! *Chases after him*

*Meanwhile, in the RedPastry Household living room, Pastry was knitting a blanket with Pond Dino playing with their toys and some Cake Hounds lying around the room. Suddenly, a knock filled the air. This caused the Cake Hounds to be startled and start to bark before charging at the door.*

Pastry: Oh dear. *stands up, holding the blanket in front of her.* Pond Dino, please stay here. I'll be right back.

Pond Dino: Okay mama!

*Pastry leaves the living room (with the blanket still in her arms) and shoo the Cake Hounds away from the door. She opens it to see Clotted Cream, Wildberry, and a teenager being held like a kitten in Wildberry's hand.*

Clotted Cream: Ah! Pastry! So sorry to disturb you right now. Wildberry wanted to show both you and Red Velvet someone.

Pastry: ...Where did the child come from?

Wildberry: He came up to us, did a staring contest to each of us, then I wanted to take him in. We wanted to show you guys first.

Pastry: What of his parents? Won't they go looking for him?

Wildberry: You're one to talk. Did Pond Dino's parents come looking for them?

Pastry: ...I may be on leave but that doesn't mean I won't crumble you.

Clotted Cream: *stands between the two* Before you go at each other's throats, we have a child whose parents are looking for!

Strawberry Cream: Actually, my father is missing and I'm looking for him. This guy just picked me up and said he was adopting me.

Pastry: Wildberry!

Wildberry: That's how Hollyberry basically adopted me.

Pastry: Do you even know his name? *Wildberry looked at Strawberry Cream before setting him down. Pastry sighed and looked at the young Cookie.* What is your name, young Cookie?

Strawberry Cream: My name is Strawberry Cream, ma'am.

*As soon as he said that, Pastry's face morphed into shock. She looked at Strawberry Cream for a few seconds before walking back into the house. Wildberry, Clotted Cream, and Strawberry Cream carefully walked inside the house, straight to the living room, and waited. Strawberry Cream noticed Pond Dino still playing with their toys. They noticed him staring.*

Pond Dino: Hello! Do you want to play?

Strawberry Cream: Um...I guess? *sits down next to them.* What are you playing?

Pond Dino: Last Cookie Standing. Crunchy or Crispy?

*Before he could answer, quick footsteps filled the air. The Cookkies looked over at the doorframe to see Red Velvet, slightly panting, leaning on the doorframe. His eyes fixed on Strawberry Cream.*

Clotted Cream: Red Velvet, sorry for the unannounced visit. Wildberry wanted to show you the child he wanted to adopt after a staring contest.

Wildberry: This is-

Red Velvet: Strawberry Cream. I know. I gave him that name.

*Strawberry Cream stood up and walked over to Red Velvet. They both looked at each other for a couple seconds before Strawberry Cream ran to Red Velvet and hugged him. Red Velvet hugs him back.*

Clotted Cream: What is-

Pastry: I'll explain later. But good luck getting him to be your son, Wildberry.

Wildberry: I will still try.

*Meanwhile...*

Wildberry's solution?

Chase Clotted around until he catches him and gives him a big sweaty hug.

Oooooo! I like this idea. *Set after Wildberry was crowned prince of Hollyberry*

*The scene is set in the Cookie Kingdom's Forest District where Wildberry is training with Red Velvet and Tea Knight. They had been training for three hours and were nearly out of breath.*

Tea Knight: *heavy breaths* Very good job Your Highness. You really kept me on my toes.

Wildberry: Thank you, captain.

Red Velvet: Thanks, captain.

Tea Knight: I've told you two not to call me that.

Red Velvet: *smirks* You keep calling us prince and Your Highness, so we get to call you captain.

Tea Knight: *chuckles* Funny.

Red Velvet: *chuckles* It is. And as much as I would like to keep this conversation, I need to get going.

Wildberry: Tonight's family dinner?

Red Velvet: Yup. And I'm "officially" introducing Pastry to the family.

Tea Knight: *chuckles* Sounds lovely. And while I would like train more, I have to head to the smith to touch up on my ax.

Red Velvet: *smirk* Are you sure it's not because you want to see a certain jokester Cookie?

*As Red Velvet and Tea Knight tease each other, Wildberry collected his things.*

Wildberry: I'll see you guys tomorrow. Have fun with the dinner Red.

Red Velvet: Thanks Wild. See you tomorrow.

Tea Knight: See you tomorrow soldier.

*Wildberry waved goodbye and walked away. As he walked into the next district, the Parfait District, he noticed his boyfriend Clotted Cream sitting on a bench and was reading. A smile formed on his face and he walked over to him. As he was ten feet away, the Consul noticed him. He smiled and closed his book.*

Clotted Cream: Hello dear, how are you?

Wildberry: I'm well. Just finished training, how about you? *Leans down for a hug but Clotted Cream used his book to stop him.*

Clotted Cream: I'm fine. I just was enjoying this lovely book.

Wildberry: *raises an eyebrow* Why did you stop me from hugging you?

Clotted Cream: You just finished training and you're sweating. I love you and all dear but you need to shower first before you get your hug.

Wildberry: ...

Clotted Cream: I have a meeting later and I need to make sure I look my best.

Wildberry: ...

Clotted Cream: *starts to get concern* Wildberry? Are you okay?

Wildberry: *starts smiling* Did you say that you love me?

*Clotted Cream thought about what he said. But as soon as he realizes what he said, his face heated up. For the first time in forever, Clotted Cream started stuttering.*

Clotted Cream: I-I may h-have my tongue s-slip.

Wildberry: Well then...*smiles mischievously* I have to hug you now.

Clotted Cream: *still blushing but kept a stern look* Wildberry...

Wildberry: And maybe a kiss or two as well.

Clotted Cream: Don't you dare...

Wildberry: I have to. What Prince would I be if I don't give my partner some attention?

Clotted Cream: Wildberry! No! *Pushes Wildberry enough to slip away. This caused him to start chasing Clotted Cream.*

*This chase scene went through three Districts before stopping at the Seaport District. Clotted Cream rushed through the gates but Wildberry jumped over the fence and grabbed the Consul into a hug. He lifted Clotted Cream up and started kissing his cheek and neck. Despite yelling to get down, Clotted Cream was smiling and laughing.*

Clotted Cream: Wildberry!!! Put me down!!! *Laughs*

Wildberry: Not until you say it again. *Kisses his neck*

Clotted Cream: Okay! Okay! I love you!

*Wildberry stops kissing him and sets him down. But he didn't let go. He rested his head next to Clotted Cream's.*

Wildberry: I love you too.
