The gingermen tied our wrists once more. I found myself beginning to accept my captivity. Katie and I waited, our hands behind our backs, for them to tie them, like patients waiting to see the doctor. When the licorice was put round our wrists we barely flinched. I enjoyed the feel of it; the firm, gentle, yet no-nonsense handling of the gingermen, how they took care to make sure that my bonds were tight, yet not too tight. I was a cared for, captive princess, being taken to the new ruler. I would be his prize, his consort. His queen? Would he prefer me, or Katie? Surely he would prefer me. I was bigger. Yet only because I was a year older. In another year Katie would be 13, not 12. Her breasts might be as big as mine then. With such odd feelings floating in my mind, the carriage rolled on. Pines and peppermint sticks passed the carriage window. I gazed at their erectness; the stiffness of the peppermint sticks, so tall and firm, the sharpness of the needles on the pines. I was jolted in a gentle, rhythmic way by the rolling of the carriage over the pop rock road. A team of powerful Clydesdales pulled us along, relentlessly, taking us in our bikinied nudity to our fate. My bosoms jostled within my top. I found my nipples standing up through the fabric of my bra. The air was cool, brisk. Mist could be seen hanging amidst the trees. I looked at Katie and saw she was sitting on the carriage bench with her hips forward, her legs open. Only the skimpy covering of her bikini undies kept the guards who were sitting across from us from peering directly into her slit. She gazed up at me, her eyes wide and unknowing, her lips soft and pink, her nose small. Her breasts jiggled within her top. Her nipples poked sweetly within her bra. ÒLicorice Lad is very powerful,Ó Katie whispered. ÒYes,Ó I agreed. ÒVery, very powerful,Ó Katie said. ÒMmmm,Ó I nodded. ÒHe owns all of Candyland,Ó Katie said. ÒYes.Ó ÒAnd IÕve always liked licorice. Especially black licorice.Ó ÒMe too,Ó I murmured. In my head the tunes of Peppermint Pete still circulated, like old well-learnt songs one cannot get rid of. HeÕd seen us off; piping as we rolled away. Then, when we were gone, he went about his dayÕs work, cutting down Peppermint sticks to carve them into woodwind instruments; piccolos, flutes, whistles, and the recorders that little children play in nursery school. ÒOh!Ó I said. I shook my head. My blonde locks tumbled freely about my face and shoulders, my bosoms, my back. ÒNo!Ó I said. ÒAll types of candy are good. And-- and I like bubblegum best.Ó ÒYou donÕt like licorice?Ó Katie asked me. ÒAll types of candy, Katie,Ó I said. ÒYou should not like one type of candy over another, except for your favorite, of course. My favorite is bubblegum.Ó ÒMine is--Ó Katie paused. She speculated. ÒMine is--Ó she began again. ÒWell, I donÕt think itÕs black licorice, but...Ó She paused. ÒI like Doritos. Jay Leno eats Doritos.Ó ÒDoritos arenÕt candy,Ó I told her. ÒWell, theyÕre junk food. ThatÕs what my mom says. ÔDoritos... stop eating so many Doritos, Katie. YouÕll spoil your appetite for supper.Õ ThatÕs what my mom says. So theyÕre sorta like candy,Ó Katie told me. We rolled on. The forest around us thinnned somewhat. We moved across meadowlands. And then, when we stopped to relieve ourselves, I saw them. ÒMountains!Ó Katie cried. In the distance stood huge, rounded peaks. They glistened with white crystals all along their flanks, right up to the very top of each one. At first I thought they were covered with snow. Then, seeing how round they were, I suddenly realized they might be covered with sugar. Some of the mountains were so tall that they were lost in the clouds. ÒYes, those are the Gumdrop Mountains,Ó Freddie told us, as Katie and I squatted, relieving ourselves. He unzipped his fly and peed into the grass. We were so accustomed to being together now, and being watched, that we thought little of exchanging conversation together as we went to the bathroom. We were almost like a family, it seemed, though a rather odd one, composed of gingerbread men, Katie, myself, our driver, and a man with pink glasses shaped like valentine hearts. ÒWho lives up there?Ó Katie asked. ÒGumdrop Guy,Ó Freddie answered. He finished peeing and zipped himself up. One of the gingerbread men passed Katie and I some leaves so that we could wipe. ÒI also live in those mountains,Ó Freddie said. ÒI have a fort up there. ItÕs a very strong fort, made entirely of fruitcake. ItÕs not as ornamental as the Citadel of Sweets, but I prefer it. Who needs to live in some gaudy palace when a properly built fort will do? And IÕll bet my fruitcake fortifications could stand up to an artillery barrage far longer than a Citadel made of poundcake, shortbread, and sugar cones.Ó I stood and tied my bikini panties back on. ÒAn artillery barrage?Ó I asked. ÒWell, you know, if someone were to set up a catapult, and begin lobbing marshmellos at the walls of my fort, or at the walls of the Citadel, for instance,Ó Freddie offered. ÒMy walls would stand up to such a pounding a lot longer than the walls of the Citadel would, IÕll bet. Of course, IÕm biased in my opinions,Ó Freddie smiled. Katie stood and pulled up her undies. ÒIÕm glad I didnÕt have to poop this time,Ó Katie announced. ÒWell, letÕs move on,Ó Freddie said. ÒIÕll be glad to be back home soon.Ó We returned to the carriage. The gingermen tied us again. The horses pulled us along the pop rock road, across the grasslands and into the sugary mountains. As we rolled along I began seeing a strange, new breed of bush amongst the rocks. From the branches of this bush round little objects grew. They had rounded tops and flat bottoms. They sparkled, and I realized I was looking at gumdrops. ÒLook! Gumdrop bushes!Ó I told Katie. ÒYes!Ó she said. ÒCan we get out and pick some?Ó she asked Freddie. ÒNot right now, girls,Ó Freddie answered. ÒPerhaps later. The weather is good right now, and I want to go as far as we can. I donÕt want to get caught in a sugar storm, if I can help it.Ó ÒA sugar storm?Ó I asked him. ÒYes,Ó Freddie laughed. ÒThis is Candyland. Snow falls up in these mountains but, also, a great deal of sugar.Ó ÒOut of the sky?Ó Katie asked. ÒOf course!Ó Freddie said. ÒHow do you think these big, gumdrop mountains came to be covered with sugar?Ó ÒI dunno,Ó Katie said. ÒIt is the dreaming of children in your world that causes it to snow,Ó Freddie explained. ÒYou should see the storms we have up in these mountains at Christmas! All those children, all dreaming about candy. My, does it snow then! But of course it can snow any time of year. Any time a child is dreaming of candy, it snows a little somewhere, up here in these mountains.Ó I gazed out the window. I saw flakes begin to fall. ÒLook! SomebodyÕs dreaming right now!Ó Katie said. ÒYes,Ó Freddie agreed. ÒDoes it snow up here when IÕm asleep, dreaming of candy?Ó Katie asked. Freddie nodded. ÒSomeplace up here,Ó Freddie said. ÒHow about when IÕm dreaming of Doritos?Ó Katie asked. ÒDoritos are salty, not sugary,Ó I told her. ÒWell, I want it to snow when IÕm dreaming of Doritos too,Ó Katie said. ÒTell the Sultan when you see him,Ó Freddie said. The gingerman sitting beside him glanced over at him. ÒI mean, Licorice Lad, our new Sultan!Ó Freddie said. ÒBring it up with Licorice Lad, when you see him.Ó ÒI donÕt want to see Licorice Lad,Ó Katie frowned. ÒAlthough,Ó she added. ÒI donÕt dislike licorice as much as I once did, when I first heard how Licorice Lad had been bad, and taken over Candyland. Now IÕm starting to think itÕs a pretty tasty sort of candy.Ó I wanted to disagree, but instead I simply gazed out the window, and watched as flakes of sugar fell gently out of the sky. The temperature dropped as our carriage climbed up into the mountains. I began to see patches of snow intermingled with the sugar that covered the ground. Yet, I did not feel exceedingly cold, I found, when the coach stopped to let us relieve ourselves again. Despite being almost naked, wearing only my little bikini, squatting and peeing in snow, I felt only chilly enough to make my nipples erect. Katie made a snowball when she was finished peeing and threw it at me. It hit my breasts. The snow wet my top. ÒOh!Ó I cried. I dusted the snow off my bosoms. Some got inside my bra and I had to pull on the fabric and shake it out. Yet I was not terribly cold, even then. I made a snowball and threw it at Katie. It hit her tummy. ÒOooo, donÕt!Ó Katie whined. ÒWell, you threw one at me,Ó I said. ÒLetÕs make snow angels,Ó Katie said, brushing snow off her belly. We lay down in the snow. It chilled my back and my legs and my bottom. I waved my arms and legs in the snow. Then I stood up. I flung my hair back and gazed triumphantly at the design IÕd made. ÒLook! WeÕre angels!Ó I told Katie. ÒYes,Ó she enthused. ÒAnd since IÕm littler than you, that makes me The Littlest Angel,Ó she said. ÒSuit yourself,Ó I replied. ÒLetÕs make some more!Ó Katie said. ÒGirls, weÕve got to be moving,Ó Freddie said. ÒOh, gee. Well, bye bye, angels,Ó Katie said. She waved to the designs weÕd made. We were loaded back aboard the carriage and our wrists were tied once more. We were angels no longer. We were captives again, our hands restrained behind our nude backs, where they couldnÕt wave about. I had a damp bottom from the snow. But even then I was not cold, only chilly, despite the deeper drifts of snow that we now saw as we climbed higher and higher into the mountains. At nightfall we stopped by some hot springs. Katie and I undressed and bathed. The water steamed around us and made sinuous, vaporizing trails of steam that rose up into the cold night sky. We gazed up at the stars. Katie tried counting them, but got lost after a bit, managing to count no more than about twenty. ÒThatÕs why people invented constellations, silly, so they wouldnÕt have to try to count each individual star,Ó I told her. ÒWell, I donÕt know any consolations, except the Big Dipper,Ó Katie pouted. ÒThere it is, right there,Ó I pointed. ÒYes, but what about the rest of them?Ó Katie said. ÒThe little stars are important too.Ó ÒTheyÕre all the same size,Ó I said. ÒWell, the less important ones, then,Ó Katie said. ÒThe ones that arenÕt in the Big Dipper. What about them?Ó ÒI dunno,Ó I said. ÒSo, thatÕs why IÕm trying to count them all,Ó Katie said. ÒSo each one of them will matter, not just the ones in the Big Dipper.Ó ÒIt would help if you knew your numbers then,Ó I told her. ÒI know how to count, Bambi,Ó Katie told me. ÒIÕm not a dumb blonde.Ó ÒIÕm the blonde,Ó I told her. I drew myself onto my back in the hot steamy water and began floating. My hair floated out away from me in a fan, like the hair of an angel, suspended in heaven. ÒWell, IÕm not a dumb brunette, either,Ó Katie said. She passed her hands through her brown hair. She turned on her back and began floating beside me. Our hips bumped. ÒOkay, tell me all the numbers, then,Ó I told her. I gazed at the hard, cold stars above us. They looked like pinpricks, I thought. Perhaps they were tiny windows to a Heaven that lay beyond the black veil of night. ÒWell, thereÕs one,Ó Katie said. ÒDonÕt forget zero,Ó I told her. ÒZero isnÕt anything,Ó Katie said. ÒAnd what about less than zero?Ó I asked. ÒI canÕt count with less than zero,Ó Katie said. ÒIÕm trying to count stars. How can I count stars with numbers that are less than zero?Ó ÒOkay,Ó I said. ÒWhat comes after one?Ó ÒThis is silly,Ó Katie said. She stopped floating and put her feet down into the depths of the pool. She splashed me. ÒHey!Ó I said. ÒCount how many times I splash you!Ó Katie cried. ÒForget it!Ó I said. I got out of the pool. A gingerman gave me a towel and I dried myself. Then I got in my sleeping bag. I was passed dinner and I lay in my sleeping back eating it, on my belly. My bikini lay in a little pile by my head. I didnÕt feel like putting it back on. Katie floated some more in the pool. ÒOne, two, three...Ó I heard her say, beginning her counting again, trying to find all the stars in the sky and make each one feel special by counting it. In the distance I thought I perceived a sound of something bouncing. ÒHow odd,Ó I thought, pausing in my dinner. It was a dinner of fruitcake and cherry pudding, the pudding made from snow gathered fresh from the ground, topped with a garnish of sugar. The bouncing sound grew louder. The gingermen looked up, but didnÕt seem alarmed. It grew louder still and then, suddenly, out of the darkness, a big, rotund figure came into view. It looked like a weird sort of man. He was bald. He wore big, round glasses. He was big and fat and glistened with sugar, like the mountains we were travelling through. He wore a frill of peppermint-laced icing around his neck. Mountaineer boots clad his short feet. He had small, stubby arms. Each of his wrists had an iced frill about it that matched the one circling his wide neck. ÒHiya!Ó the large, blubbery, frosted being called as he bounced down the mountainside and into our camp. Katie dove down in the pool, fearing that we were being attacked. I shrank into my sleeping bag. I remembered my nudity and grabbed my bikini. Freddie, whoÕd been doing some paperwork inside the carriage, opened the door to the coach and stepped out. ÒGumdrop Guy,Ó he said, acknowledging the fat creature. ÒGood evening evening evening!Ó the large man replied. ÒWhat a pleasant night for eating gumdrops and licorice!Ó ÒAh, yes. Good to see you, Gumdrop Guy,Ó Freddie replied. The large, fat man pointed at Freddie with one of his stubby fingers. ÒThatÕs not a gumdrop youÕre holding. ThatÕs a pencil!Ó he said. ÒWell, yes. I was doing some writing,Ó Freddie answered. ÒWhat? When you could be eating?Ó Gumdrop Guy asked. ÒCome, come! Gumdrops for everyone! Look! IÕve got a bag of them right here.Ó He presented Freddie with a bag. I saw it was stuffed with gumdrops, all different flavors, red and blue and pink and green. The light from the carriageÕs open door made them sparkle. He opened the bag up and insisted on pouring a big handful of them into FreddieÕs palms. ÒEat!Ó Gumdrop Guy commanded. ÒGumdrop Guy, I live here,Ó Freddie protested. ÒEAT!Ó Gumdrop Guy commanded. To please the fat man, Freddie put a gumdrop into his mouth. ÒJust one?Ó Gumdrop Guy said. ÒGood heavens! You are uncivilized, dear sir. You lack a proper appreciation for gumdrops. You should stuff your entire mouth full of them, theyÕre so good!Ó ÒIÕll have some!Ó Katie offered, gazing at the big fat man from the refuge of her steamy pool. ÒAh, thatÕs what I like to hear!Ó Gumdrop Guy said. ÒLittle miss, how pleased I am to find you in my fair land. At last, someone with a proper appreciation of gumdrops!Ó Gumdrop Guy waddled over to Katie. He bent and poured a big handful of gumdrops into her wet palms. ÒYum!Ó Katie said. Just as heÕd hoped, she tried stuffing the entire handful into her mouth at once. ÒAnd how about you?Ó Gumdrop Guy asked, turning, surveying the rest of us. He spotted me, and the fact that I was eating, and came quickly over to where I was. I drew myself deeper into my sleeping bag. ÒWhat? No gumdrops?!Ó Gumdrop guy asked, gazing intently at my half-eaten plate of dinner. He opened his bag and dumped gumdrops all over my plate. ÒEAT!Ó he commanded. ÒYouÕll never be as big as me if you donÕt eat lots of gumdrops!Ó Gumdrop Guy went round to the others. Each of the gingermen was forced to accept a big handful of gumdrops. Even our driver, a quiet, unassuming man, was beset with gumdrops, and commanded to eat as many as he could. ÒThere!Ó Gumdrop Guy said. He put his hands on his hips and surveyed us all. ÒNow things are much better. From now on, I expect you all to eat lots of gumdrops. In fact,Ó he said, raising a finger. ÒI hereby declare it to be illegal to eat anything in my Gumdrop Mountains except gumdrops!Ó He paused. He considered a moment, then added, ÒAnd licorice. You may eat a little black licorice also...Ó Gumdrop Guy jumped in the air and landed on his bottom. He bounced up, like a ball. ÒWell, IÕm off!Ó he shouted. ÒTootle-ooo! A pleasant gumdrop evening to you!Ó I watched from my sleeping bag as Gumdrop Guy bounced off into the night. Katie, her cheeks still bulging with gumdrops, watched from within her hot pool. The gingermen went back to their duties, tending the fire, keeping watch. Freddie went back inside the carriage. Finishing my dinner, I rolled on my back and looked up at the stars. I tried to picture what Licorice Lad looked like. If he was handsome enough, I might just choose to like him, even if he had usurped the SultanÕs throne and taken over Candyland. Licorice, I thought, wasnÕt such a bad candy. Black licorice was the color of night. And gazing up at the blackness of the night sky above, speckled with stars, snuggled in the warmth of my sleeping bag, I considered that I rather enjoyed the night. ÒWilma Writ! Get back here!Ó Ms. Matilda Brunswald shouted. She was standing on a rainbow far out over the sea. Up ahead, Wilma seemed to be moving away from her with increasing velocity. SheÕd sped by her a moment before, and the odd thing was, Wilma was standing still. ÒYikes!Ó Affidavit Al cried. He went flying past Matilda. He too was standing still, on the blue color of the rainbow. Matilda was standing on red and Wilma on yellow. Glenda Guilty was standing on green. ÒOh, my! IÕm starting to move,Ó Glenda, who was walking, announced. ÒWell of course youÕre moving! ThatÕs what happens when you put one foot in front of the other,Ó Matilda declared. ÒNo-- I mean move, like on an escalator,Ó Glenda explained. And, indeed, she went shooting past Matilda quite suddenly, faster than she could walk. ÒYikes!Ó Matilda cried. ÒIÕm moving too! And IÕm standing still!Ó ÒItÕs turned into one of those People Mover things, like they have at the airport!Ó Al cried. ÒLook! IÕm standing still, and yet IÕm moving!Ó Matilda gazed at the rainbow they were standing on. Each color of the rainbow had suddenly lurched to life, carrying them forward. Al was rushing forward on blue. Wilma on yellow, Glenda on green. MatildaÕs rainbow beam, red, began shooting her forward at an alarming rate of speed. The wind rushed past her. It disheveled her hair and pressed her dress hard against her body. Glenda, straining against the wind up ahead, lost hold of her briefcase. It flew back past Matilda and arced down toward the sea, far below. ÒAAAAAAA!Ó Al cried. He clung for dear life to his business suit coat, lest it be blown off his narrow shoulders. ÒMy hair!Ó Wilma cried. She had rich, red curly hair, done up in a bouffant at the hairstylistÕs. The wind made a mess of it. ÒOh, weÕre going to die!Ó Al whined. Matilda, fearful but not absolutely lost to fear, like Al, gazed down at the sea. Slowly it passed under them. She felt like a passenger on an airplane as she gazed from the heights of the sky down upon it. ÒHang onto your hat, weÕre going someplace!Ó Wilma, the one farthest ahead, cried back to them. ÒNone of us have a hat,Ó Glenda said crossly. ÒThen weÕre going to DIE!Ó Al whined. ÒShut up, Al!Ó Matilda said. But the wind grew stronger in her ears, as they moved faster and faster. Soon she could hardly hear herself, when she tried shouting to the others. Her hair streamed behind her and the wind whipped her dress back so hard she feared having it ripped off her. ÒSomebody should be arrested for this!Ó Wilma, her hair ruined, seemed to say. She yelled it quite loudly, but the wind was so strong Matilda could just make it out, and then only by guessing. ÒYes indeed!Ó Matilda shouted in reply. But, due to the wind, she didnÕt think anyone heard her. Tommy Troll set his machine down at the feet of Licorice Lad. The boy sat on the SultanÕs throne, eating licorice. His underpants still hung off the top of the throne. He steadied the big candied turban he wore on his head and gazed at the machine with interest. ÒWell?Ó Licorice Lad asked. ÒIÕve made all the necessary adjustments, great Sultan Licorice Lad, lord of us all,Ó Tommy said. ÒNow I need only to turn it on, and any humans in Candyland will begin to turn into candy.Ó ÒHow long will it take?Ó Licorice Lad asked. ÒNo more than a week,Ó the troll assured Licorice Lad. ÒA week?Ó Licorice Lad asked. ÒMaybe less,Ó Tommy said. ÒThis better work, troll, or IÕll double your sentence,Ó Licorice Lad scowled. ÒOh, yes, great Sultan Licorice Lad, lord of us all!Ó Tommy cried. He twisted a knob. A pink glow rose from the machine and engulfed the throne room. ÒI can feel it,Ó Licorice Lad said. He extended his hands. The troll, too, extended his hands. He put them over the machine, as if warming his hands over a fire. ÒYes, master, it is wonderful, is it not?Ó the troll asked. He beamed up at Licorice Lad. ÒCandification, thatÕs what I call it! The girls will be turned to candy, and then you can keep them forever. You wonÕt have to worry about them slipping away, through the Peppermint Portal.Ó ÒGood, good,Ó Licorice Lad said. ÒHow near to this thing do they have to be, for it to work?Ó ÒNot near!Ó Tommy replied. ÒThe rays from this machine will emanate throughout Candyland. All the humans who are guests of your realm will be forced to stay and pay homage to you forever.Ó ÒYes! And to my licorice too!Ó Licorice Lad said. ÒOh yes, great Sultan Licorice Lad, lord of us all!Ó Tommy said. ÒPut this machine up in the highest tower,Ó Licorice Lad said, turning to a gingerman who stood by the troll. ÒI want its rays propagated throughout my kingdom as quickly as possible.Ó ÒYes, master,Ó the gingerman answered. He bent and lifted up the machine. Its pink rays glowed brightly in his face and upon his chest. ÒBegone, troll!Ó Licorice Lad said to Tommy, with a wave of his hand. ÒYou may return to your bridge. Do not disturb my realm again.Ó ÒYes, great Sultan Licorice Lad, lord of us all,Ó Tommy said. He bowed. Then he backed away from Licorice Lad, bowing repeatedly as he went, until he was in the great hall beyond the throne room. Then he turned and ran as quick as he could out of the Citadel of Sweets. Up in the tallest sugar cone tower, the gingermen placed the machine. They stood and gazed out over Candyland. From the tower you could see, to the east, the moor, where a pop rock road emerged and ran across grasslands to the gates of the Citadel. To the west floated a sea of cream. Its waves, rolling ashore, left a residue of frosting. Out on the wide creamy sea floated iceberg islands. Interspersed amongst the big, frigid islands, which kept the sea cool, were ice cream bars and orange popsicles and striped ice cream sandwiches. Along the shore of the sea groves of lollipops grew. Their clear, round surfaces shone in the sun. Above them all now, a pink glow suffused itself into the clouds, radiating from the CitadelÕs tallest tower. It came from the machine of the troll. Far below, running along the pop rock road, the troll could be seen, scampering back to his lair. 30 ----------------------- Dreamgirls! ----------------------- -Back issues (and stories): type http://www.dejanews.com/ into your browserÕs ÒLocationÓ window.
