The pink sky is strawberry soda, which I love. The sun is a jelly bean with gummy worms as the heat going down, and there is a girl named Candy Queen, and there is a castle with water that is grape soda, and there is ice cream guards. She froze her fire to hold her crown into a ice cube, and she sprinkled sugar on it so it wouldn’t unfreeze, and she had windows that were made of chocolate, and her sign out of sweet tart ropes.
