This was supposed to be for last week's Illustration Friday prompt.....uh...yeah.....
When Emma and I walk to school in the morning, we each get into our imaginary pods, strap on layer upon layer of imaginary protective gear, and then engage in fierce candy war. We try to think of the stickiest, goopiest, most creative way to pummel each other with sugar.
"Candy apple mace!"
"Argh! Marshmallow absorption shield. Spun-sugar web!"
"Fredward!"
"Fredward?"
"Yes, Fredward. He's my giant jellybean who eats your sugar web."
"Ugh. Sour Patch Kids, attack Fredward!"
"Fredward womps them flat. Poprock cannon with lemonade sprayer!"
"Arrgghghghgh, ow ow ow! "
By the time we get to school, we are both a gloppy, battered mess. Luckily, we have the gummy bear brigade to lick us clean so the teacher will never suspect a thing.
Have a spectacular weekend!

Nice battle of the candies!
I do love your sugar overload. That is the best walk to school I have ever heard. You really are something!!!

**sugarsmacksmooch** X

Dear Bella
The above comment is from my daughter...she typed it:)))
She wanted to say this to her beloved Bella aunty. So that says it all, I guess!!!!!!!!!
Loads of love to Emma and her Mama..
Deepa and Lil A!
hahaha, your dialog is very cute Bella as is your illustration. I lobe the brigade of gummy bears and the gummy worms are too funny. Very cute :)
Now that's candyland!
I'm rooting for Fredward. That is what I call me son Fred all the time because his mother is a fan of Twilight's "Edward", thus I call him Fredward and I am sure he is just as sweet.
I love the detail of the shooting pez dispenser and the brigade of gummi bears.
I hope those are Haribo gummi bears. They are the best! (Especially fresh from Germany)
Oh bella! So dreamy! I love this little beauty.
A PEZ cannon! I must get me one of those.
A creative delight Bella
Cheers
HAHAHAHA, where do you get this Ideas.
WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!!
Have a great weekend
You are wonderfull ;0)
oh wow, Bella! you are like a treasure chest of wonderful ideas! why would you ever think about a candy war???? LOL
illustration is spectacular, as usual. xoxo
lemonade spray after poprock attack can really sting. thank god for the healing lick of a gummy bear.
oh so cute.. sugar fueled wars!!! my 4 year old would love them!!
I just like that you say "womps"..
VERY sweet Bella!
Only you would think up candy wars, Bella. I would LOVE to go on that walk with you. :)
You are just too much fun, Bells! I wish my Mom was more like you when I was a kid...the battles we had were more revolved around socks and combs. Don't ask. :D :D :D
Hugsssss OXOX
tooooo sweet! love your imaginative life bella. and oh my goodness gummy bears!
Ha ha :) A short book indeed :)
Hehe, now I am almost convinced that what you say in your story is true. I bet you walk to school a different way every day so you don't get stares from the neighbours (you know why they are called 'neigh'bours? it is has something to do with horses...)
well, Bella, just a beautiful work again. Lots of movement, lots of fun. I think the implied violence though adds drama :) I am glad I don't walk with you to school. I have only one school uniform left that fits :) Most of them the hem is too low...
:)
see you
That sounds so fun! and yummy :)
Heather
Fredward?! Hahahahaha! This is sooo cute Bella!:D
Spectacular weekend in progress! Almost finished, In 10 minutes is Monday!
You must love to draw, it shows. Your illos come from a brain, inspired by your life (I hope) because all is so happy and carefree.
My favorite still--is one in which you (I guess that little girl is you--grin!
and ces are sitting on a wall, each saying, "Pffft", or something. THAT is when I decided to make the two blogs my places of refuge each day--almost!
PEACE, Bella!
Happy Holidays...
LOL The problem with my gummy bear brigade is that it keeps disappearing. Too cute, love the dialog and visual :)
Hahahaha! This is awesome. I don't know I would want to have a sticky sugar fight, but...well...maybe!
Too fun!
This is so cute and colorful. Candy war! Gummies to the rescue! I love it.
Love it!So cute and candy:)
