She woke to the soft crackle of popping candy.
Somewhere nearby, the caramel bells chimed for breakfast, their sound soft and sweet like distant toffee drops. The peppermint walls of her dormitory shimmered with a delicate sugary glaze, glowing faintly in the morning sun. Her bed, a sturdy frame built entirely from polkagris sticks, spiraled and twisted like a giant raspberry ribbon, creaked melodically as she sat up and stretched.
A faint breeze carried the soothing scent of mint and the bold edge of salty licorice, a familiar and comforting aroma in the Gummidor quarters. Above her bed, a dangling mobile spun gently, decorated with tiny marshmallow mushrooms, sugar free cola rings, and chewy banana foams.
Her name? Vera Jellydrop. A proud first-year Gummidor. Bold in flavor. Sweet in spirit. Terrible at folding gummy maps.
She shuffled into her foamy shoes, the soles squeaking slightly against the chewy caramel floor, and grabbed her glitter-coated gummy pens from her peppermint-striped desk. Racing downstairs, she barely avoided a stumble on a rogue sugar free gummy that glistened innocently on the path like a tiny candy trap.
Morning Buzz and New Faces
In the Peppermint Nest common room, the day had already begun. Gummidor students were trading fizzy cola bottles, comparing their favorite sour raspberry skulls, and daring each other to eat sugar free Tutti Frutti pieces in one bite.
Near the peppermint-striped fireplace stood Pip, another Gummidor, known for always carrying emergency vegan candy and fizzy cola bottles in his jacket. His school uniform was as rumpled as a gummy snake left in the sun, with sour candy wrappers poking out of his blazer pockets and his tie carelessly knotted with fizzy string. His shoes, naturally, were sticky from yesterday’s bubblegum mishap, and his backpack rattled with a mysterious mix of chewy banana foams and marshmallow bites.
"Oi, Vera Jellydrop! First class today, Tasting Theory: How to Speak to Your Taste Buds! You ready?"
"Ready? I'm a Gummidor. I was born ready," Vera grinned, tucking a handful of fizzy cola bottles into her pouch.
The First Candy Class
The classroom smelled faintly of raspberry fizz and marshmallow seats. A few Gummidors chatted excitedly, while a Licoricellyn leaned back, chewing on a double salted coin with a knowing smirk. In the corner, a Frusugar carefully unwrapped a low sugar candy, measuring every bite with precision.
And there, by the window, stood a lone student from Frusugar, arms crossed and sour expression firmly in place. Known for their minimalistic sugar approach and obsession with ultra-clean candy formulas, Frusugars often felt like they were surrounded by sticky chaos, preferring precision and balance above all. The student eyed the fizzy surroundings with clear disapproval, their sugar free lollipop clutched tightly in one hand.
The professor, a retired international candy explorer with a suspicious number of gummy bears stuck in his beard, finally appeared and welcomed them all.
"Taste buds," he said, "are not just sensors. They’re your allies, your stubborn little friends. They crave attention, they resist change, and they love to argue. And today, we’ll learn to negotiate with them."
He adjusted his slightly crooked peppermint-striped tie and tapped his marshmallow pointer on the desk. "Some of you may have rebellious taste buds that refuse to embrace sour candy. Others may have taste buds that flinch at the very mention of salty licorice. And a few of you—" his gaze briefly flicked to the Frusugar student still standing stiffly by the window "—may have taste buds that simply don't like surprises."
The Frusugar student crossed their arms tighter, the pale grey trim on their immaculate school uniform perfectly pressed, their shoes polished to a soft gummy sheen. Their badge, a clean white candy drop symbol, shone as if freshly unwrapped. They made no effort to hide their distaste for the fizzy, sticky atmosphere of the classroom.
The Taste Bud Challenge
The assignment? Convince their taste buds to enjoy something new.
Vera Jellydrop, always up for a challenge, grinned and reached for the boldest option on her desk: salty licorice. Naturally. Her taste buds, however, were less enthusiastic.
As she placed a Djungelvrål on her tongue, a tiny voice deep inside her candy core protested, "No. Nope. Hard pass. Too intense. Way too intense."
She tried again. And again. Her face scrunched, her eyes watered, but she wasn’t about to give up in front of the whole class.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the Frusugar student watching her with mild curiosity, as if trying to calculate the exact salt-to-sugar ratio of her struggle.
Finally, Vera remembered the professor’s tip: "You must promise your taste buds something sweet in return."
So she leaned forward and whispered, "Listen, I have fizzy cola bottles and Bubs Cool Rasberry waiting for you. Just trust me."
Her taste buds paused. There was a long silence in her mind. Then, with a reluctant sigh, they agreed.
As the sour-salty punch settled into her candy core, Vera felt a strange warmth spread across her tongue. Salty licorice had officially joined her flavor family.
From the back of the room, Pip gave her a double thumbs-up while noisily crunching on a sour skull. Even the Frusugar student gave the faintest nod of approval before scribbling something in their flavor journal.
Vera smiled, cheeks still tingling. Gummidor style. Always bold. Always chewy.
A Fizz Fight in the Dining Hall
Lunch was, as usual, an explosion of flavor. Literally.
A group of Gummidors accidentally triggered a Fizz Fight. Mini bubblegum bombs launched across the hall, splattering students with fizzy cola and marshmallow foam. Vera Jellydrop dove behind a cotton candy pillar, laughing so hard she nearly dropped her fizzy cola bottles.
The dining hall erupted in sweet chaos. Gummidors hurled sour raspberry skulls like soft grenades, while marshmallow shields were quickly constructed from stacked dessert trays. Pip slid across the gummy-tiled floor, expertly tossing foamy watermelon gummies into the fray. A Licoricellyn squad formed a defensive wall with giant Turkish Pepper drops, their faces a picture of fierce, salty pride.
"Classic Gummidors," muttered a passing Frusugar, carefully shielding their low sugar candy from the sticky explosions with a makeshift umbrella made of sugar free cola dummies wrappers.
The Fizz Fight raged until Professor Honeycomb stormed in, her voice sharper than the sourest cola strip. "Enough! This is a dining hall, not a fizzy war zone!"
The gummy bombs halted midair. A final bubblegum orb popped quietly in the corner. The room collectively exhaled.
Later that afternoon, Vera spent time in the Flavor Lab, learning to balance flavors, tasting vegan candy samples, and passionately debating whether sugar free gummies or plant based candy would shape the future of Gummwarts. She argued fiercely in favor of fizzy plant based combinations, supported by Pip who continuously munched on sour belts throughout the discussion.

The Flavor Lab session became a whirlwind of textures and tastes. Vera challenged her taste buds further with foamy marshmallow bites dipped in raspberry fizz, while Pip brought over a tray of experimental vegan candy that popped and crackled in their mouths.
Vera even dared to try a Licoricellyn specialty: a chili-infused salty licorice twist. Her taste buds protested wildly, but she grinned through the heat, determined to add even the fiercest flavors to her candy core.
As the caramel bells rang again at sunset, Vera sat in her polkagris bed, savoring the last bites of her favorite foamy watermelon gummy. Her fingers still faintly sticky from the afternoon battle, she reflected on the sweet victories and sticky lessons of the day.
Tomorrow, she knew, would bring more daring flavors, unexpected fizzy fights, and maybe, just maybe, a new candy discovery that would surprise even her bold Gummidor heart.
At Gummwarts, every day is a taste bud adventure.
