"Disobeying her parents' request not to leave Earth, Aurora goes to a book fair in the Storybook Dimension and ends up finding her childhood tormentors."Aurora's outfit: Mexican colors, PajamasCities that inspired me for Storybook, though, of course, with book spine buildings: Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Quedlinburg.Storybook visual reference = www.tes.com/sites/default/file…What do you think will happen in "Face Cookies"? (Let the Season 1 Finale quintet begin)Episode Overview:The episode opens with Aurora telling a fairytale about a girl trapped in a cave who learned to face her fears until they released her. As soon as she finishes the story, she asks for Sam's opinion about it who says that the story is amazing and that she has a great talent for writing stories. Happy with his response, Aurora says she was thinking of attending a story writing contest that's happening in the Storybook Dimension. However, she regrets that she can't go because she remembers that her parents asked her to try to avoid as much as she could from leaving Earth. Seeing Aurora's unhappy expression, Sam "suggests" that if her parents don't know, there should be no problems. Uncertain, Aurora denies, but Sam continues to try to convince her. "Well, what can go wrong, right?" Aurora says. Using her dimensional scissors, Aurora and Sam open a portal to Storybook, a dimension where the buildings are book spines.After entering the contest, Aurora and Sam decide to walk around the fair until the time of the contest starts. They end up intersecting with a group of young Mewnian nobles, whom Aurora unfortunately acknowledges. The group begins to scorn and mock Aurora. Pacifica Waterson and Alice Cross make fun of her earthling clothing, Dipper Firefly and Gareth McKnight call her by various offensive nicknames, and Gold Stone asks if she wants a little kiss, inciting more laughter from others. Aurora doesn't respond and turns to leave, until Rose Flowers comments on how her mother had the courage to marry a human. Furious, Aurora tells Rose to shut up and to not bring her parents into this. "Uh-oh, look, the butterfly is out of the cocoon," Rose mocks shaking her hands. Aurora instinctively grabs Rose's wrist and, with a calm face and voice, Rose replies with "If we go that way, you know you'd have no chance." Aurora releases Rose and turns decisively to leave, however, she stumbles and falls face-first into a puddle of mud. The young lords, with the exception of Dove Redbird, begin to roar with laughter at Aurora even more, who escapes crying while disappearing amid the crowd. Rose comments that "Mewni is very unlucky to have a loser like her as a future queen." Annoyed, Sam replies that "Mewni is very unlucky to have idiots like them as future mewnisters" and leaves to search for the princess.In the meantime, Aurora bumps into a girl and falls into a sitting position. She recognizes the girl as Maple Forest, sister of her friend Pine Forest, who soon appears calling for her sister. Upon recognizing Aurora, Pine shows a bright smile.Meanwhile, Sam gets lost in the Alley of Magic, a site in Storybook intended for magical literature.At a table in a diner, Aurora asks what Pine is doing in Storybook. Pine replies that he's helping Maple find a book she wanted. Pine returns the question and Aurora says she's competing in a short story contest. Pine says it's the same one on which Dipper Firefly will compete and that's the reason he and the other nobles have come to Storybook. "Unbearable," Maple murmurs to herself at the sound of Dipper's name. "Oh, are they here?" Aurora asks, pretending to be surprised. Pine is suspicious and remembers that Aurora was crying earlier so he asks why. Aurora tosses her hair behind her ear, saying that it's nothing and everything's fine. "You know... you always throw your hair behind your ear when you lie," Pine says, smiling. Aurora smiles back, and Pine invites her to take a walk while she tells him her story.Sam continues searching for Aurora, and ends up in the Valley of Young Adult Literature, where he is attacked by glitter-sucking vampires.Meanwhile, Aurora finishes telling her story to Pine. The boy says she's still as good as ever and admires her courage to tell this story. Aurora thanks him and explains that she feels at peace when she writes. They remember some of the stories she made when they were children, like the talking tiger in a drawer, the city that changed places, and the lonely tree in the field. They laugh reminiscing on their childhood stories, Pine says he misses those moments with her and comments about the attack against her and the fact that she left without saying goodbye. Aurora apologizes, saying she would have done it if she had time. "What matters is you're safe," Pine says. Upon realizing Maple's suggestive look and smile, Aurora tries to fool around and says she's almost late for the contest.In Fantasy Forest, Sam is surrounded by a group of "The Lord of the Beans" fans who force him to play "Wizards & Wyverns" in an elf costume.Upon arriving at the amphitheater, Aurora and the Forest siblings witness the end of the presentation of Dipper Firefly, which receives a loud applause at the end. The number of people scares Aurora, who sees Rose and the other nobles in the back of the audience regrouping with Dipper.Aurora then hears her name being called, but refuses to climb onto the stage. Pine encourages Aurora to go, and tells her to fear nothing and nobody intimidates her. Aurora shows a grateful and confident smile back to Pine. A camera flash takes them out of their moment, they see Maple with her cell phone and a victorious smile on her face saying "Ha! I got it!". Pine says goodbye to Aurora with a "good luck" and leaves with his sister.Sam finally finds Aurora in the amphitheater. Aurora asks why is he in an elf costume while Sam states that he's been looking for her all day. When her name is called again, she walks up to the stage and introduces herself. The reading of her story is accompanied by images that magically appear on a big screen on stage, and when Aurora begins to read her story, the images that appear are from Aurora at 8 years of age, playing hide and seek until she is cheated and locked in the Castle Butterfly Crypts by Rose Flowers and the other noble kids, who are going away laughing. Alone and after useless requests for help, little Aurora weeps in fear as she watches all the sarcophagi of her ancestors. The audience watches in silence, Sam is shocked at what he's witnessing. The story ends with the doors opening and Aurora embracing her parents. The audience applauds loudly and gives a standing ovation. Rose and the other children angrily and embarrassingly walk away, receiving reproachful looks from the crowd. Dipper tries to prostate, but Spartan warns him that "he has already lost the competition". Pine nods at Aurora and leaves with his tour group.Sam and Aurora happily return home with the trophy in hand. After Aurora comments on the award, that her winning tale will be published along with several others in a book, Sam asks about the "tale" being actually a real event. Aurora says it was this event that made her interested in the story of her family, believing that if she knew who they were, she wouldn't have to be afraid of them. Aurora says goodnight to Sam and goes to sleep. The episode ends with Aurora dreaming that she's running on a huge lawn, with a sky dotted with stars and a rising sun on the horizon, and beyond the lawn, a single tree, a pine tree.
