A Lemon in Candy Land

Title: A Lemon in Candy Land
Author: Me
Summary: Two brats try to rescue the king of Candy Land; Lord Licorice has his own sadistic fun.
Rating: I personally don\'t think it\'s too gory or anything so I\'ll only give it an R.
Pairings: Lord Licorice and some corpses (kinda)
Notes: I don\'t claim to own the rights to this lovely game. I think Hasbro owns it. Some of the dialogue is adapted from what the characters say on the board that comes in the box when you buy the game. All characters are actual characters in the board game, and although they aren\'t really out of character, the villain (my version) definitely takes things further than what would be expected of a children\'s board game villain.

Onto the fic!

============================================================================
//[to be read in a glorious voice, perhaps with a British accent]\\\\
Candy Land

The entire kingdom is in peril. You see King Kandy has disappeared. It had been known that the evil Lord Licorice would want to take over Candy Land. He has finally taken action.

Candy Land has lost it\'s sparkle but the proud people have not lost their hopes that order will be returned and the King will be found.

Gramma Nutt believes in two children who can save the King. So she asks the Princess Lolly send for them.

They are the Candy Land Kids. Assisted by the four Gingerbread Men from the Cookie Patrol, the kids will set off down the rainbow road. Throughout the land they will search for the King and surely bring the sparkle back to Candy Land.

//[end of glorious British voice] [that was a narration]\\\\

The group of six starts off on the rainbow road and sees ahead the Gingerbread Plum Trees. Here lives Plumpy, \"The Last of the Plumpa Trolls.\"

Plumpy: Hello there, I am Plumpy the Caretaker of the Gingerbread Plum Trees. I used to gather the fallen fruit as it was ripe but now I am so distressed, I just can\'t stop eating. Please children, you mist find the King. If he were back in power I just know I could be happy again. Then I would no long gorge myself on these fruits.

The Group: Surely Sir, we will find the King soon. Take care and rest assured.

On the group travels down the rainbow road. They didn\'t know of the short-cut just before the Gingerbread Plum Trees that would have shortened their distance to travel. It would have taken the close to the Peanut Brittle House. However, their path leads them past Plumpy and down the road towards Peppermint Forest.

Gradually the rolling green pastures change to icy ground. Soon they are among beautiful red and white candy canes growing in the icy fields. Gleefully chopping away at the canes stands Mr. Mint.

Mr. Mint: Hello there, I am Mr. Mint the Keeper of the Royal Peppermint Forest. I turn these canes into beautiful whistles and flutese. However lately my peppermint piccolos just haven\'t sounded as sweet as they used to. Plese children, you must find the King. If he were back in power I just know I could be happy again with the sweet music from these candy instruments.

The Group: Surely Sir, we will find the King soon. Take care and rest assured.

On the group goes down the road and through the twists and turns. Luckily as they approach the Gumdrop Mountains the red Gingerbread Man spots a different path.

Red Gingerbread Man: I see it, it must be the Gumdrop Pass. We must take this short-cut if we wish to reach the King as soon as possible.

On the group walks down the road. Nightfall comes so they must set up camp until morning. When morning comes they once again set off down the road. Soon they see the landscape change from snowy mountain valley to bleak desert. Ahead lie Licorice Castle, and just making his way back home is the evil Lord Licorice.

The Gingerbread Men are worried.

The Gingerbread Men: We must quickly pass this area. If Lord Licorice should capture us then we will not be able to get to the King soon.

This was all just too much fun for Lord Licorice. He had been following the group but after they set up camp in the Gumdrop Pass he had passed them up and now waited at the edge of his grounds.

Lord Licorice: Hello there children! And how are you all doing on this fine day?

The Gingerbread Men: Hurry along now, we musn\'t talk to him lest we hear his lies and misdirections.

Lord Licorice: Misdirections? Oh children, I want nothing but to see you succeed. Hurry along and you will find the King and his castle at the end of this road, but beware of obstacles. I wish you luck.

The Group picks up pace down the road and soon come to the Peanut Brittle House where resides Gramma Nutt.

Gramma Nutt: Hello Children! Please come in and enjoy some warm peanut brittle I just made.

The group ate and when they had their fill they set back on their journey.

Gramma Nutt: Good Luck children!

Soon they came upon the Lollipop Woods where the beautiful Princess Lolly grows and guards the lollipops.

Princess Lolly: Hello Children! I knew you would come. I\'d love to help you but it is my duty to tend to these woods and grow these sweet lollipops. Please take these lollipops with you and find my father, and say hello to my mother when you meet her.

On they journeyed and soon they came upon the Ice Cream Sea.

Queen Frostine: Hello Children and my loyal Gingerbread Men. I will help you cross this Ice Cream Sea on my Ice Cream Float.

And so they all boarded the float and were guided across the beautiful Ice Cream Sea. Soon they came ashore.

Queen Frostine: I must stay and watch over the Ice Cream Sea. I thank you for your assistance and praise your courage. I just know that you will be the ones to restore order to the kingdom.

The group walk for some time before teh come to the Molasses Swamp. They see the kindly Molasses Monster Gloppy ahead. However, before they reach the friendly monster, they become stuck to the molasses that covers the road.

Lord Licorice has been following the group and he approaches.

Lord Licorice: Don\'t you wish to save the King? If so, then what are you doing carelessly walking into a molasses swamp?

The Gingerbread Men: Don\'t fool us, if you have any intentions on helping then please do so, otherwise your presence is unwanted.

The Candy Land Kids: Oh Mr. Licorice would you please help us?

Lord Licorice: \'Mr. Licorice\'?!? You dare insult me and expect my help? You know... that molasses quite suits you gingerbread men. I will leave you now. Surely if you\'re meant to then you will overcome this small obstacle and be able to rescue the King... you\'re not too far away.

And off he went down the road past Gloppy. The group saw him turn left eventually and disappear on the horizon.

After some time they were able to free themselves from the molasses.

Gloppy: Oh, I knew you would be able to free yourself, but you must hurry. The King and his castle lie at the end of this road. You are almost there. I wish you luck and am confident that you will save our kingdom.

So the group walked on and reached the end of the rainbow road.

The Gingerbread Men: Well since Lord Licorice headed left, I say we head right.

Soon they caught sight of the castle. They all ran towards the castle and expected to meet the King. But after all their searching they could not find him. They searched high and low. They searched throughout the main castle and then each individual ice cream cone tower to no avail.

Just then they heard a scream.

The Group: The King!

They ran down to the main chamber but couldn\'t find where the noise was coming from.

Again they heard a scream.

The Gingerbread Men: The dungeon!

The Gingerbread Men led the group to a door hidden well beneath a table. Quietly they stole down the stairs but could not restrict their screams as they saw what horrible fate had fallen upon the former King.

Lord Licorice: Did you really think a few cookies and two brats could save this land?

The group hear more screams coming from one of the cells.

Lord Licorice: Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

He goes to the cell and lets out the woman and then removes her blindfold. Seeing the body of her husband the King, Queen Frostine cries out in anguish.

Queen Frostine: What do you intend to do with me now?
Lord Licorice: Surely you remember life before you married your precious King?
Queen Frostine: You can\'t still -
Lord Licorice: DON\'T THINK WE ALL JUST MOLD OURSELVES TO FIT YOUR PERFECT LIFE!!!
Queen Frostine: I don\'t regret the choice I\'ve made. I was happier with the King than I could ever have been with you. Don\'t think that you could ever be half the King he was.

Of course he had to laugh considering the neatly quartered condition of the King\'s corpse.

Lord Licorice: Well you can keep your happiness and die knowing one more thing.

He leads her to another chamber...

Lord Licorice: What little of the pitiful subjects your King once served are no longer part of this great kingdom.

She sees the bodies of all her closest friends and loyal subjects Mr.Mint, Gramma Nutt, almost everyone in the kingdom. (except for Gloppy and Plumpy, for some reason Lord Licorice liked them)

And then she screamed out in horrible agony as she recognized the badly mangled body of her beloved daughter.

Queen Frostine: LOLLY!!!! (she is now heavily sobbing and her words are stuttered) how, how could you?

Lord Licorice: Yes, I never like that little girl, looked too much like the King. (At this he snickered.) But I won\'t forget her tears. The poor princess being ravished in the precious forest she was so fond of. Don\'t worry though, the ounce of respect I hold for you won\'t allow me to corrupt your elegance... at least not while you\'re still alive.

Queen Frostine: WHAT!?!

Lord Licorice: I know you won\'t be my willing partner. I will get what I want though, one way or another. And you two, you blond little runts have seen your last moments. Now, prepare to die.

With that he pushed them over a straw mat through which they fell thirteen feet onto the sharp spikes in the room below.

The Gingerbread Men attempted to bring Lord Licorice down but were thrown into the pit as well.

Lord Licorice: And now my dear Frostine...
Queen Frostine: Please wa--

\"Not today my dear,\" he said as he forced his licorice lancet through her chest.

He stood over her collapsed body, admiring her cold skin. \"...cold skin,\" He chuckled noting how she always was so frigid back then. Gathering her in his arms he carried her up the stairs, out past the main chamber and up towards the King\'s chamber.

\"We\'re here sweetness, \" he chimed as he dropped her beautiful corpse onto the grand bed.

\"Now you will have me as you should have long ago. Now you are mine.\"

He gently eased her stiffening corpse out of her lovely gown and then proceeded to disrobe himself.

Oh, how his hot flesh nearly warmed her frozen body.

\"Had you sense enough I\'m sure you could have enjoyed this my darling. As a matter of fact, I will keep you here with me. Please wait here while I go and properly dispose of your former subjects.\"

He strolled down the corridors naked, humming to himself a tune he had just made up.

Now he had his kingdom, now he had his queen. Life was good.

THE END.
===========================================================================


I\'m ready for any criticisms. Although I should say this, If it seems like this story was written at a third-grade level... well it is based on a children\'s board game and it is meant to sound like a fairy tale.

Still though , I am open to any criticism.

(I\'ll start of with the first one.)

It wasn\'t nearly as lemony as I planned but I\'m still satisfied with the way it turned out. Plus I may have a slight problem with keeping the story in a set tense (past/present).

Also, I have tried to fix the format. Hopefully it isn\'t as hard to read as it was before.
