As Coco woke up from his sleep, he stood up from his bed and felt that the ground was kinda weird. He looked around and saw that the ground was made out of some kind of chocolate, he looked outside and saw the vibrant blue ocean was no longer there instead brown water and brown waves were splashing around. He thought to himself what was happening, was he dreaming? he pinched himself to make sure that this is all a dream. He felt pain and he blinked but he was still in the weird world. He stepped outside of the house and felt the wind hit his face, the wind had the smell of sweetness, like chocolate. There were barely any people here, I stepped closer to the ocean and dipped by hand into it. It felt like a thick cream and smells like chocolate, I stuck my tongue out and tasted some of it,
it is chocolate! Amazing, I walked forward the chocolate getting deeper before I knew it I was hit by a big wave. I stumbled and fell into the thick waves of chocolate, after that I saw black.
Coco opened his eyes, the sunlight blinding him, he stood up and looked around "Where am I?" Coco mumbled to himself. It seemed like he is still in the chocolate world but this time he was floating in the ocean on a surfboard. Soon, he noticed the grey fin sticking out of the water, his heart started to pound faster, he stayed still trying not to attract the attention of the lurking predator. All of a sudden the shark popped out of the water "Didn't think I'd notice you." said the shark, Coco was beyond terrified, he stumbled in shock
"H-how?" Coco stuttered "Oh, you're not from around here." said the shark smirking "I could help you but..." the shark continued "But what?" replied Coco "Promise me something, kid." said the shark whispering "You'd come surf with me, every day." stated the shark "Yeah, sure." answered Coco. Coco grabbed his fin and the shark started to swim towards land, they arrived at the land “See you tomorrow, kid.” said the shark as he swam away, Coco waved his hand goodbye.
He went inside the house and laid down the bed, he sighed as his eyes started to close a girl appeared out of nowhere “Hey, I saw you talking to the shark.” said the girl as she sat down the bed next to Coco “Yeah, what about it?” asked Coco “You’re not from here, want to go back to your world?” The girl stated “Yeah!” Coco replied instantly “I can transport you back but how about your friend?” asked the girl “I’ll um talk to him about it.” said Coco the girl nodded and stood up “See you tomorrow then.” the girl said as she went outside the house, Coco closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning Coco ran towards the ocean with the surfboard “Hey um shark, I can’t surf with you anymore.” said Coco “Why?” asked the shark “Well, I have to go back to my world.” he replied “But that’s no fun, don’t you like it here?” “It’s fun here but I have family and friends back at my world, just like you, I value my surroundings and my habitat. ” explained Coco “Oh okay, um I guess this is goodbye then, I enjoyed my time with you.” The shark said before he swimming away but this time he swam faster, he disappeared in the horizon.

Coco looked at the ocean one more time before he walked towards the girl “I’m ready.” the girl smiled as she hands him chocolate shaped shark he looked at the girl sadly “Thank you.” Coco smiled as he took a bite of the chocolate, he only saw black. He woke up frantically seeing the room he sighed in relief, he looked at the clock it’s the same day only hours have passed since he left, weird he felt as if days have passed, he smiled standing up and going downstairs to eat breakfast, I guess.
