Prologue

Kyra looked over the hill onto distant Dreamland. So this was her temporary home. How quaint.

Chapter 1

Dedede sighed glumly. His niece was coming and he virtually hated his niece. They were exact opposites. He hadn't seen her in many years but he already knew that he might as well skip town now.

Escargoon slithered up to his king. "Sire, what's wrong?"

"Ugh… I have family coming,"

Escargoon furrowed his brow, "Since when do you have family?"

Dedede punched the snail . Causing Escargoon to drop to the ground, a large bump on top of his head.

As if on que, Waddle Doo came into the throne room, "Sire, some girl is here, she says that you're related?"

Dedede moaned, "Don't remind me," he pushed himself out of his throne, "just send her in."

Off in the distance, he heard the drawbridge lowering in footsteps out in the hall. A girl/penguin walked in, a mischievous smirk on her face. Her black hair covered one eye and over one shoulder she carried a much scribbled on backpack. She wore a sleeveless white top with a guitar on it and camouflage jeans.

"Hey uncle D," she said, walking up him, "What's up?"

Dedede stood up, giving her a glare that was full of loathing, "Don't give me that good, sweet crap Kyra." He spat, "We both know that in one hour the castle is gonna be in ruins cause of you!"

Kyra put a look of surprised shock on her face, "Why, whatever do you mean?"

"Shut up! Last time you were here you filled my underwear drawer with chocolate pudding!" Dedede was fuming, he couldn't stand to watch her fake innocence

His niece shrugged, "The fridge was full of it, I just didn't want to be wasteful,"

Dedede's face turned bright red, "Just get out of here! Get out of the castle! Go play with the other lil' brats in the village!"

"Ok," was all Kyra said she was just about to leave the throne room before she tuned and asked, "Where do I put my stuff?"

Dedede put a hand on his forehead, "Just through it in that tower you stayed in last time,"

"Alright, all the dirt and vermin that I've come to know and love,"



As Kyra left, Escargoon entered, "I see the family resemblance in the face, but she has got to be as skinny as a broom," the snail looked behind him to see that she wasn't listening.

It was true, much to Dedede's annoyance. They're facial features were almost exact, except that her face was more feminine.

Dedede groaned, "Just get me an aspirin, I'm gonna need it."

…

Kyra walked down the many halls of the castle. Everything was the same since she had last been here. Of course the last time she had been here she had been about 5, so it didn't matter. Now she was 13, and she had no idea where she was.

All of a sudden, she turned a corner and she was standing face to face with a two children and what looked like a pink gumball.

The kids gasped and fell back, the boy shouted out, "Holy crap! Dedede lost weight! The world is coming to an end!"

Kyra glared at him, "Don't confuse me with my uncle! It's just insulting."

The girl squinted at him, "Since when does Dedede have a niece? How do we know you're not tricking us?"

Kyra sighed, "Come on, how many other blue penguin teenagers could say that they were related to Dedede without vomiting. I can barely do it but I've learned to control it."

The boy snickered, "Nice. Any enemy of the king is a friend of ours. I'm Tuff."

The girl held out her hand, "I'm Tiff, and this is Kirby. Who are you?"

"My name's Kyra. Heir to the throne when my uncle kicks the bucket," Kyra smiled, they were alright kids. Tiff seemed a little too formal but she could tell she had good intentions.

"Poyo!" chirped Kirby, jumping up and down

"So, what brings you here? Are you visiting too?"

Tuff laughed, "Nah, we live here. Out dad's the court official or whatever he calls it."

"Cool," Kyra sighed, "I'm bored, would you guys mind showing me the village?"

"Sure, what do you want to see?" asked Tiff, as she started walking

"Meh, just how much the place has changed. Is Len still around?"

"Len?"



"Poyo?"

Kyra sighed, "Mayor Blustergas?"

Realization crossed the children's faces, "Oh. Yup he's still going."

"Cool,"

Sorry this first chapter is short. Future chapters will be longer. Promise!
