A parade is being held in Cookietown! A parade
to elect the newest Cookie Queen.The contestants are all ready and being
paraded by on their floats like a confectionery Macy's parade. There
is Miss Peppermint, Miss Coconut (looking for all the world like an
eskimo), Miss Banana Cake, Miss Strawberry Blonde, and Miss Licorice.
But the scene is not all happiness. A wandering Flash Sentry and the two kids comes wandering
down the train tracks (which are also made of peppermint sticks) and
comes across a pretty mimi crying to herself because she doesn't
have anything to wear to the carnival The Flash decides to become Fairy
Godmother to our Cinderella cookie; a cupcake sleeve becomes a petticoat,
cream from a few eclairs becomes a beautiful gown, and a few properly
thrown candy hearts complete the wardrobe.
Making a quick switch with the tail end of the parade, the Flash just
manages to get our beauty into the parade. The judges go nuts when they
see her and know that they've found their queen, destroying their dais
in the process of getting down to meet her But a king! The queen, they
decide, must have a king. So, where before the female population of
Cookietown was on parade, now it's time for the males to show their
stuff.
We're introduced to a variety of sweet-stuffs: The Dandy Candy Kids,
The Old-Fashioned Cookies ("like Mom used to make"), the Angel-Food
Cakes (maybe a little too sweet), The Devil's Food Cakes, the
Upside Down Cakes, and finally The Rum Cookies (who were cut out at
one time because they were "always stewed!")
The three judges, in a serious show of bias, announce that no suitable
king could be found, so one of them will have to take the crown.
All during this pageant, however, the Flash has been trying to elude
the guards who are trying to evict him from the show. He finally takes
cover underneath the queens carpet, coming up on the other side to land
at her feet. The queen and the two kids, of course, recognizes her as her savior and
announces that he shall be the king.
The short concludes with a spectacular light show courtesy of a impressively
bright one-candlepower and an assortment of multicolored lollipop gels.
The Flash, as a reward for what he has brought about, receives a kiss
from his queen, but not before hiding behind a lollipop which, in a
libidinous heat, melts with their passion.
