"Wee, yummy room!" Screamed Esther, her puffer tail swishing excitedly.

Melinda and Roland had been very skeptical when Esther started splashing up a fuss about smelling treasure. Melinda knew her friend very well as many things, but certainly not someone with a nose for treasure. But Esther was very insistent to the point of derangement. So, to avoid another whirlpool incident, the two decided to follow her. 

"I'm not certain what I expected..." muttered Roland. 

"Oh Esther," replied Melinda.

Their expedition came to a victorious end after only a short time following Esther. Though the feelings of victory may have been a bit divided at that moment. It certainly was material wealth, but with a more limited audience than gold, jewels and baubles. For the treasure room was filled with...

"CHOCOLATES!!!!" 

Esther could barely contain herself at the sight of all the shelves stored to the brim with boxes upon boxes of chocolatey goodness. Different shapes and sizes galore enticed all with their perfectly preserved appearance. 

But before anyone could make a move, a sinister voice rang out from empty air.

~Touch any of those, and you will regret it...~

This voice dropped all pretense of friendliness and joy. Leaving the party with only a cold impression of danger. All except for Esther, who seemed blind to all else in the world. She immediately made to pounce on the first box she saw.

It was then that Roland leapt to stop her.

"Wait Esther!!!"

What happened next was a series of embarrassing events.
