Fear ye not, for I will still update The New Meta-Knights, but this has just been on my mind a while. It will be fairly short, probably a two or threeshot.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The alarm went off. A furry white paw groggily reached out from the depths of the cover and hit the snooze button. The occupant rolled over in bed and stared sleepily at the time. 5:30. Of course it was. He was going on holiday today.

The cat stepped out of his little round bed and stretched. Then, he sat down and began to lick himself. After a minute or two, he stood up, and looked in the mirror.

"Nago, you are one cool cat!" he greeted his reflection. He smiled, stretched again, and padded into the kitchen. He sat down at the table, and poured himself a bowl of dried cat food, Cat Crunchers, and splashed it with milk. He started to eat it, giving his brain some time to come to. After a while, he licked the bowl clean, and hopped of the chair. He returned to his bedroom, and, resisting the temptation to curl up in bed again, took a suitcase out from on top of the wardrobe. He opened it and checked the contents. Mobile phone, check. Books, check. Laser pen, check. Ball of wool, check. Pouches of cat food, check. Emergency fish supply, check. Picture of girlfriend Shiro, check. Bag of catnip, check. Favourite pillow, check. Pouch of stars, check. Good, everything was there.

He checked the clock. 5:45. Good, still on time. He picked up his luggage and opened the door. He breathed in the cool, morning air. The sun was just peeking out over the horizon, turning the early morning mist a gentle gold. He smiled, choosing to ignore the wet dew on the grass beneath him. He locked up his house and started on the dusty path to the main town.

•••

After a few minutes of walking be came to the town. Cappy Town. It was fairly quite being still early and all, but Nago didn't mind. In fact, he rather preferred it this way. Soon, a taxi headed down the road. He stopped it and got in. "To the Space Port, please," he instructed the driver. The driver, a deep blue Pengi, nodded and began driving.

"So, which planet you off to then?" the Pengi asked as they travelled down the road.

"Ripple Star," he smiled back, trying not to drop off.

"Ah," he said, "I'd go to Shiver Star myself, but I suppose that's because I come from White Wafers." Nago nodded in agreement and continued to stare out the window, purring as the world sped by.

Soon, they pulled up outside the Space Port. As far as Dreamland's buildings went, this one was by farther most futuristic and newest. Having opened just last month, it has become fairly popular, members of all species queued up to travel to a different planet. "So how much do I owe ya?" asked the cat.

"16 Stars," replied the bird, checking the meter.

"I'll give you four and a salmon," proposed Nago, holding up both.

"Done," agreed the Pengi, who loved fish just as much as Nago, if nit more. "Have a nice flight!"

"Thanks," smiled the cat, hauling his luggage out if the taxi. He looked up at the great silver building. He checked his watch. 6:00. Still on schedule. He wandered inside and looked around. Members of all species milled about, with suitcases, rucksacks and handbags stuffed with holiday essentials. He started heading for the queue associated with his flight, when he suddenly collided with something wet and cold and slippery. He hissed at it and leapt back.

"Sorry," said familiar voice "I'd better look where I'm going." Rubbing his head, the feline good to his feet and looked at who he'd just crashed into. It was a large blue sunfish with yellow fins. "Oh, hi Kine," sighed the cat. Out of all the Animal Buddies, Kine was probably Nago's least favourite, almost entirely due to his permanent wetness. "How are you out if the water?"

"Oh, I've just had an operation. As long as I keep wet, I'm fine!"

Nago shuddered at this, as he hated the thought if being constantly wet. "I guess you're off to Aqua Star then?" asked Nago, changing the subject.

"Yep," smiled the fish, hopping over to his line. "I think you might like it there, its got plenty of fish."

"Its too wet for me," explained the feline, walking alongside his fishy friend "I'd much prefer Ripple Star. Its apparently very warm and peaceful, with plenty or rodents and little birds, and space to lie in the sun and snooze."

"Why don't you like water?" asked Kine, dumbfounded.

"Cats don't, its law," he replied.

"I love its so wet and refreshing,"

"That's why I don't like it, its too wet..."

And thus the argument began

Checking in

"It's so cold,"

"Not always,"

At customs

"Its get under my fur and I get uncomfortable,"

"Its fine when you get used to it,"

At passport control

"I don't think I'll ever get used to it,"

"Just go for a couple if swims,"

Checking in the luggage

"I can't, I can't swim!"

"Why not? It's easy!"

Boarding the flight

"You're a fish, it comes naturally to you,"

"Fair enough, lets just say I love it and you hate it, OK?"

"Sure,"

They sat down in their seats on board the sleek silver rocket-plane.

They sat there in silence as it blasted out of the atmosphere. "I'm on the wrong flight, aren't I?" asked Nago after a while.

"Yes, you are."

"*sigh* "

Done this chapter! Still got a little more to do, but, as I said, I'll still update The New Meta-Knights regularly!
