In a peaceful forest, where everything was made out of gummies, lived an adventurous girl named Gabby. One day, she noticed that the leaves on the gummy trees were drooping. When she walked on the marshmallow floor, she noticed that it was sticky. After a moment, Gabby realized that the whole forest was melting. She talked to the gingerbread guardian, Biscuit. He said that the fire nearby had heated up the gummies and caused them to melt. Biscuit said that the only way to stop the melting was to get a rare ice crystal from Crystal Peak.

Gabby started packing for the journey right away. She carried snacks, a map to Crystal Peak, a warm jacket, and a small cooler to make sure the ice crystal would stay frozen. Then, following the map, she set off.

After a while, she saw Crystal Peak. Before heading up the mountain, she put her jacket on and ate a snack. Then, she started climbing. Suddenly, a polar bear came out of the woods. Thinking quickly, Gabby grabbed an icicle and threw it at the bear. It ran away, howling with pain. Gabby continued heading towards the cave where the ice crystal was kept.

After some time, she finally found the cave. She grabbed the ice crystal from its pedestal and started back towards the opening of the cave. Then, another polar bear came. She remembered that since it was really cold, she could pour water and it would freeze. She got out her water bottle and poured water at the feet of the polar bear. As expected, the water froze and the polar bear slid down the mountain. She opened her cooler, set the ice crystal in, and went back to the gummy forest.

Back at the forest, Gabby opened her cooler and the ice crystal floated into the air. A few seconds later, it disappeared. Gabby was confused. Did the magic not work? Then, she saw that the gummy trees were not dropping anymore, and the marshmallow floor was no longer sticky. The ice crystal helped the entire forest become regular again.
