Smoothie Sea - MP9 Style Part 1
This story begins in Smoothie Sea on the beach. Minta, Celine, Tiff and King Dedede were in their swimsuits standing next to a boat that was shaped like giant blue Blipper. The sea was littered with many different spaces of various colors; from a bird's eye view it looked like a game board.
"Alright, are you four ready to go?" Queen Francine asked. Everyone turned to the Fairy Queen and saw she was just wearing a white bikini with gold linings. King Dedede's eye grew wide when he saw his girlfriend wearing that. He rushed over to her and held her by the waist.
"I think I'd rather stay here!" He said, "This view is too amazing to pass up."
Francine giggled and said, "Don't worry Dedede, I'll still be around. After all I'm the one hosting this event. Besides, you have to collect those Mini Stars and become the Super Star.
"With you by my side I'm already the Superstar!" He flirted making Francine giggle again. Minta smiled at the scene while Celine looked with curiosity and Tiff rolled her eyes.
"Can we please go already?" Tiff asked impatiently.
"Yes Dedede, you should get going," Francine said, "I'll be watching you from above." The two shared a kiss and then Dedede walked back to the group.
"Jealous?" Dedede asked with a big grin. The three teens ignored him and summoned their dice blocks above their heads. These magical yellow cubes had numbers 1-6 and were spinning in mid-air. Everyone jumped and punched their block making it burst and reveal a number. Minta had a 3, Celine had a 5, Dedede had a 1 and Tiff had a 6.
"Okay," Francine said, "the order is Tiff, Celine, Minta, King Dedede."
"Aw come on," Dedede groaned, "Can't it be the guy who got a 1 go first? After all, I am number one so it was a solid bet that I'd get it."
"Oh brother," Tiff sighed rolling her eyes, "This is gonna be a long trip!" Dedede glared at her.
"Sorry baby, but those are the rules. Now, good luck on your adventure! Make sure you collect a lot of Mini Stars!" Francine winked at Dedede before she flew away.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm! I know you're all jealous of that fine beauty! You wish you had a body like that! Just admit it!" King Dedede bragged.
"I'm quite comfortable with my own body," Minta said jumping into the boat.
"Me too," Tiff said hopping in as well.
"And I as well," Celine said climbing inside.
"Yeah right," Dedede scoffed jumping in the boat making it rock around roughly. "So Minta, You wish you had some of that?"
"No," Minta said jumping in the boat.
Dedede had a look of confusion and then asked, "Are you ill?"
"No, I'm quite healthy," Minta said answered
"Oh..." Dedede jumped into the boat, "if that's the case then why the heck would you not want some of Francine?"
"Because I'm not attracted to her! Sheesh, just because I'm bi doesn't mean I wanna date every girl I see!"
"Oh, you wanna date Celine?" Dedede asked making Celine go red and Tiff looked over at them.
Blushing Minta shouted, "No! We're just friends! Why did you even ask that?"
Tiff said, "It probably has something to do with those tickle fights you two have."
"Minta starts it!" Celine accused.
"And you prolong it," Minta claimed.
Dedede said, "Whatever! All I know is that I have my special one you three don't! So, ha!"
"Why did you invite him?" Tiff asked Minta.
The Keke shrugged and said, "I thought he'd provide some comic entertainment." Minta, Celine and Dedede were sitting in the backseat while Tiff walked up to the wheel.
"Alright," Tiff said pressing a button to start up the boat, "let's go get some Mini Stars!" Tiff looked at the control panel seeing a yellow button and a white button. "Do I press the yellow one?"
"Yeah," Minta explained, "that's what summons the Dice Block. The white summons special Dice Blocks that you store."
"Okay then," Tiff said pressing the yellow button, "Let's get this party started!" Suddenly, a yellow Dice Block appeared over Tiff's head with the numbers 1-6. She jumped and punched the magical block making it burst and reveal the number 6. She grabbed the wheel of the boat and steered the boat as it moved forward. For every space the boat moved over the number above Tiff's head counted down one. Along the way she ran into a ring of five Mini Stars collecting them.
"Whatever Tiff!" King Dedede said, "You'll lose those Mini Stars as fast as you got them!"
"The game just started and you're already being a sore loser!" Tiff said as Minta and Celine giggled.
"Shut up!" Dedede shouted at the two and they stopped, but were still smiling.
Once she moved six spaces the number vanished and the boat stopped. A screen at the control panel showed what kind of space Tiff stopped on; it was a green space which meant no event happened. Her turn ended so she had to move over and let Celine get on the wheel. Tiff sat down and Celine got up to the wheel.
Celine looked out to sea and could see a red Blipper swimming ahead of them and then stop at a space. From above, Francine was flying overhead getting a bird's eye view of the action. Playing the hostess, she had a microphone with her.
"Oh, it seems Bettie the Blipper has swam onto the track and it looks like she has some Mini Stars to give! I wonder if Celine can get them. She needs a 5 or higher." Francine announced. Celine used her Dice Block and struck it getting a 4.
"OH C'MON!" Celine groaned, "I hate it when I get so close to something!"
"Ha! Ha!" Dedede laughed. Celine piloted the boat four spaces stopping just in front of Bettie. The space she stopped on was a Blue Space.
"Hey, at least I get something," Celine said with a smile. Three presents appeared over Celine's head. One had a 10-sized die inside called a Ten Die, one had a die numbered 0 and 1 called a Tip Toe Die and the last one had a die numbered 6 and 7 called a Sprint Die. Celine chose the golden 10-sized die and placed it in her item compartment in the boat. Her turn ended so she sat down as Minta stepped up to the wheel. Bettie moved two spaces ahead.
"Okay Minta," Francine announced, "You need a 3 or higher to meet up with Bettie."
"Hopefully, I'll have better luck than Celine," Minta said pressing the yellow button.
"Hopefully, you'll have the same luck as Celine," King Dedede said. She hit the Dice Block and got a 5.
"That sucks! A five is what I needed!" Celine said. Minta moved the boat ahead and stopped at Bettie. The goggle-wearing fish jumped out of the water and dropped five Mini Stars onto Minta.
"Alright!" Minta cheered.
"You better appreciate those Mini Stars because they're the only ones you're going to get!" Dedede claimed.
"We'll see about that," Minta said moving the remaining two spaces stopping on a green space. King Dedede pushed Minta aside and took the wheel. Minta growled ready to punch him, but Celine and Tiff each placed a hand on her shoulders and signaled her to let it go. With a sigh, Minta sat down between them.
"Now it's the master's turn!" The king announced.
"Oh boy," Tiff groaned leaning on the edge of the boat; she saw something swimming towards them. "What the stars?"
Francine announced, "Uh oh! It looks like a hungry Joe as swam onto the track! Careful Dedede, if he chomps you then you'll lose 5 Mini Stars. It'll move four spaces every time the boat moves." The Joe stopped on a space that was four spaces away from them.
"Crud! Shark!" Celine said fearfully.
"That shark ain't about to bite me!" King Dedede summoning his Dice Block and getting a 6. "Yeah! That's how the pros do it!"
"Uh-huh, sure." Minta said rolling her eyes. He moved the boat six spaces making it stop on a green space with a red arrow pointing backwards. This was a Back Space.
"What the heck?"
"You have to roll the die and go backwards," Minta said with a smirk.
"NOOO! I don't wanna!"
"C'mon Dice Master!" Celine said tauntingly, "Show us amateurs how it's done!"
Dedede growled, "Fine! I will! Watch and learn little girls!" A yellow Dice Block appeared over Dedede and he struck it getting a 6. "NOOOOO!" The three teenagers laughed as the boat moved backwards right into the range of the Joe. The shark swam up to the ship, jumped at Dedede and chomped him on the butt. "PAAAAAAAAIN!" The king screamed jumping into the air; when he landed he glared angrily at the trio.
"What?" Tiff asked.
"You laughed at my pain! How dare you?"
Minta said, "Oh c'mon, you had no Mini Stars to lose anyway."
"You were right Minta!" Celine laughed, "He does provide some good comedy!" With a sour look, Dedede slowly sat down so he wouldn't hurt his butt as Tiff got up to pilot the boat. She saw Bettie had swum back on the track and was 5 spaces away from their boat. Tiff hit her Dice Block and got a two.
"Ha! No where close!" Dedede taunted.
"Actually, that's exactly what I wanted!" Tiff said.
"Why would you want a two?" Celine asked. Tiff moved the ship two spaces stopping it on a blue space with a yellow music note on it.
"Because it gets me on a Lucky Space!" Tiff said with glee. Tiff jumped out of the boat onto a rock next to the Lucky Space and walked into a golden Warp Door. The door warped her to cavern that had three winged golden treasure chests. She saw one fill up with one Mini Star, another fill up with three and the last one fill up with seven.
"Good job getting here Tiff," Francine said, "Now choose which chest to open; after they've shuffled of course." Tiff nodded and kept her eyes locked on the treasure chest with seven Mini Stars. The chests flew around especially fast trying to throw the Ebbrian off and once they finished it was time for Tiff to choose. She opened the chest on her left and was rewarded with seven Mini Stars.
"Ha! Ha! Too easy!" Tiff cheered. Once that was over she was warped back to the stone and jumped back into the boat being seven Mini Star richer.
"Stupid girl!" Dedede grumbled with arms crossed, "I could have thought of that!" Celine took control and saw Bettie moved two more spaces ahead.
"Celine is going to need a 5 or higher to get to Bettie. I wonder if she's going to use the Ten Die," Francine said. Celine considered it, but decided against it wanting to save it for something more important. She hit the normal Dice Block and received a 6.
"Yes!" Celine said as the boat moved ahead making a right turn. It stopped at Bettie's space and the fish once again jumped out the water and dropped Mini Stars on the captain. However, instead of five like Minta got Celine got seven. "Alright!"
"That's not fair!" Dedede complained.
"You wouldn't be saying that if it was you!" Tiff argued.
"Duh, because everyone knows that if would get extra it's because I'm a king," Dedede stated; Minta and Tiff rolled their eyes. Celine moved the boat one more space stopping it on an orange space with a red VS on it.
"Oh! It's Minigame Time!" Francine said, "Okay, you're going to play a Free-For-All minigame. First place gets five Mini Stars, second gets three, third gets two and last place get one. Celine, since you landed on the space choose which minigame you want to play." On screen showed three pictures each representing a minigame with its title underneath it.
"Hmm, this seems fun," Celine said pressing the top picture which read 'Tic-Tac-Take'. Sparkles appeared around the group and they were magically warped away to the minigame.
Type: Free-For-All
Name: Tic-Tac-Take
Rules: Tac has stolen all your coins! Grab his coin pack and steal them back! You can also steal from each other! If you get grabbed shake loose quickly!
The gang were walking out of a bank [in their normal outfits] each with a backpack of ten coins. Suddenly, Tac rushed in and tackled them all making all their coins fly out and into Tac's pack. He's about to make a get away, but the four quickly corner him thus the minigame begins. With 60 seconds on the clock all four rushed over to Tac, but he evaded them all. He ran past Dedede, but he quickly grabbed his pack.
"Gimme your money!" Dedede shouted as he shakes it violently making 5 coins fly out of Tac's pack into Dedede's. Tac was able to break away and fled. Minta and Celine ran after him. Tiff grabbed Dedede's pack and shook five coins out of him.
"Thanks!" Tiff said as she ran away.
"THEIF!" Dedede shouted as he chased her. Minta grabbed Tac's pack and shook six coins out of him. Once Tac broke free he was grabbed by Celine who also got six coins out of him. Minta was about to grab Celine, but she was grabbed by Tiff who stole three coins from her.
"Why you-" Minta yelled lunging after Tiff, but missing. Dedede grabbed Tac again and shook aggressively getting 8 coins from him. Celine grabbed onto Dedede, but the king quickly ripped free.
"Uh oh!" Celine said. She tried to get away, but Dedede got her and began shaking her.
"Gimme your money!" Dedede shouted taking away five coins from the younger Ebbrian girl. Minta grabbed on Tiff and shook away three coins from her.
"Oh you're gonna get it!" Tiff claimed chasing her.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Minta said running away. She saw Tac run past and began chasing after him. She was just about to grab him when she was grabbed by Celine who stole four coins from her.
"Celine!" Minta growled.
"It's called Free-For-All for a reason," Celine said with a smile. Minta turned her attention to Celine, but Tiff grabbed her and took 3 coins from her.
"Told ya I'd get you back!" Tiff said running away. Tiff quickly grabbed Tac and shook seven coins from him. Before anyone knew it time was up and they all had to stop. The scores were: Tiff: 14, Celine: 7, Minta: 1 and King Dedede: 13 while Tac still only two coins left. The results were Tiff - first, King Dedede – second, Celine – third and Minta – dead last.
"ALRIGHT!" Tiff yelled doing a backflip, "Oh yeah!"
Dedede waved his arm, crossed them and said, "Bah! Whatever!"
Celine sighed, placed her hands on her hips and said, "That was too close..."
Minta fell to ground saying, "Dang it! I lost!" Tiff gained five Mini Stars, Dedede gained three, Celine gained two and Minta received one. The group were warped back to the boat and were back in their swimsuits.
"That was fun," Tiff said.
"That sucked!" Minta whined.
"You're only saying that because you lost."
"Exactly, what's your point?" Minta said as she took control. She saw the same Joe was coming back for seconds. It was three spaces away from their boat this time. Minta hit her Dice Block and got a 6. The boat moved across the path until it came into a fork in the road. The left path was a path with many red spaces with purple music notes while the right path had many Lucky Spaces. Both paths had a ring of three Mini Stars though. Minta took the left path and got three Mini Stars much to the dismay of her friends.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Dedede shouted.
"I'm not letting you guys get all the goods!" Minta said as the boat stopped on one of the few blue spaces. Three presents appeared over Minta's head. One had a Ten Die, one had a Tip Toe Die and the last one had a Sprint Die. Minta chose the white and pink Tip Toe Die numbered die and placed it in her item compartment in the boat. The Joe swam after the boat and stopped only two spaces away. Dedede took the wheel, hit the Dice Block and got a 4. The boat moved and stopped on a green space meaning nothing happened. The Joe took the same path the group did and stopped only two spaces away from them. Dedede blew a raspberry at the Joe before sitting down to give Tiff control.
She hit her Dice Block getting a 4. This took the boat to the red spaces with the purple music note. This space was the opposite of the Lucky Space called the Unlucky Space.
"Aw man!" Tiff groaned. Near the space was a black door which opened revealing a black hole that sucked Tiff right in. She was spat out in a red version of the lucky cavern. Here she saw three winged black chests. She saw one fill up with one Mini Ztar, another fill up with three and the last one fill up with seven.
"Sorry about this Tiff," Francine said, "Now choose which chest to open; after they've shuffled of course." Tiff nodded and kept her eyes locked on the treasure chest with one Mini Ztar. Like with the golden ones, these black chests shuffled very swiftly, but Tiff kept her eyes locked on the least damaging one. Once they stopped Tiff opened the chest in the middle and was given one Mini Ztar. This reduced her Mini Star count by one.
Tiff sighed, "I guess it's not too terrible." The black hole roughly spat her back on the boat. The Joe swam more spaces and was two spaces away. Celine took control and was hesitant to make a move.
"Hey! What's going on? Go already!" Dedede ordered.
"I don't wanna go," Celine said looking back at the hungry Joe.
"Why not?" Tiff asked.
"I'm scared. What if I get chomped?" Celine asked.
"Then you'll feel my pain!" Dedede claimed rubbing his tush, "Especially with that Back Space ahead of you!"
"Ah man! This sucks! I'm doomed!" Celine whined.
"Just go already!" Dedede ordered, "Staling isn't going to make your doom go away!"
Minta asked, "What about your Ten Die?"
"Oh yeah!" Celine said, "I completely forgot about that!"
"NOOOOO! DANG IT MINTA! Why'd you have to say something?" Dedede asked.
"Was I not supposed to?" The Keke asked. Celine took out her Ten Die and placed it on a scanner. Suddenly, a golden 10-sided dice block appeared over her head. She jumped and struck it getting a 1. Celine's jaw dropped when she saw that and Dedede broke out laughing.
"YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME?" Celine screamed into the blue sky.
"DOUBLE WAMMY!" He laughed loudly. The boat moved one space stopping on another Unlucky Space. Like with Tiff, a black hole sucked up Celine and spat her out into the unlucky cavern. She had to play the same game as Tiff and after the treasure chests shuffled she picked the one with three Mini Ztars.
"Darn it!" Celine said stomping her foot. She was spat roughly back into the boat just in time for Joe to come over. It jumped out the water and bit Celine's rump. She leaped into the air and screamed from the painful chomp and lost five Mini Stars resulting in her being at one. "I can't believe this!"
"I know!" Dedede chuckled, "Hilarious, isn't it? Don't give me that look! You laughed at me so I laugh at you! It's called Karma baby!" Minta took the wheel and hit her Dice Block. She got a three and was able to land on a Blue Space which got her the black and blue Sprint Die.
"That's so unfair! How are you avoiding all the Unlucky Spaces?" Celine asked. Minta just shrugged her shoulders and walked back to her seat. Dedede got up to the wheel, hit his Dice Block and got a 1. The boat moved one space and landed on a green space with a blue arrow pointing forward. This space was a Dash Space.
"Yeah baby!" Dedede cheered. Another Dice Block appeared over King Dedede which he hit and got a 5. "Now let's see where this takes us!" The boat moved five spaces and stopped at a VS space.
"It's Minigame Time!" Francine announced, "First place gets five Mini Stars, second gets three, third gets two and last place get one. Okay Dedede, pick a Free-For-All minigame you want to play!"
"Alright then," Dedede said looking at the screen, "I think I'll choose this one!" He pressed on a minigame called Color Me A Sign. Sparkles appeared around the group and they were magically warped away to the minigame.
Type: Free-For-All
Name: Color Me A Sign
Rules: Press the button that's the same color as the sign the Waddle Dee waves. Whoever presses the button the fastest three times first wins! Sometimes you'll have to press more than one button at the same time. Make sure you pay attention!
The gang [in their normal outfits] were each standing behind a pedestal that had their name on it. On each pedestal were three buttons. Red on the left, blue in the middle and yellow on the right. A Waddle Dee wearing a red and white polka dotted bowtie walked onto the stage holding a large sign thus the minigame begins. The Waddle Dee quickly flashes a blue sign and Minta was the first to press the blue button. She got a point.
"Cheater!" Dedede accused.
"Shut up!" Minta said. The Waddle Dee twirled its sign around making it turn all sorts of different colors. The four watched him closely and he suddenly stopped on red. Everyone pressed the red button except Celine who accidentally pressed yellow. The Waddle pointed to Dedede and he got the point.
"Oh yeah! That's how it's done!" Dedede said with a big smile.
Celine whined, "This is hard!" The Waddle Dee twirled its sign around and stopped on green. Dedede quickly pressed the blue and yellow buttons. Everyone else were too confused and were looking for a green button. Dedede got his second point.
"Oh! I didn't know we had to press both buttons," Celine said.
"That's what happens when you don't read kids," Dedede laughed.
"Oh shut up! I'm gonna get the next one!" Tiff said. The Waddle Dee twirled its sign and stopped on blue. Everyone slapped the blue button hard. The Waddle Dee pointed to Minta and she got the point.
"Alright!" Minta cheered.
"Oh c'mon! I had that one!" King Dedede barked. The Waddle Dee shrugged and continued twirling its sign stopping on yellow. Celine was the first one to press it and she got the point.
Tiff groaned, "Mercy! This is impossible!" The Waddle Dee twirled its sign and stopped on brown. Celine quickly pressed all three button before anyone else pressed two so she got the point.
"Whoa," Minta said, "now we're all tied...except for Tiff."
"I gotta get one!" Tiff claimed, "At least one!"
"No, you don't!" Dedede claimed. The Waddle Dee twirled its sign and it stopped on blue which Minta pressed on first meaning she got the final point.
"Sheesh Minta," Celine said, "Is blue your favorite color?"
"Yes!" Minta cheered throwing a fist in the air, "And my favorite color's purple."
"That's...just not fair," Dedede said crossing his arms.
"I didn't even get one..." Tiff moaned. The results were Minta - first, Celine & King Dedede – second and Tiff – dead last.
"Victory is mine!" Minta sang spin jumping and doing a pose, "I'm number one!"
Celine threw her arm in the air with a smile and said, "Not bad at all!"
Dedede waved his arm and said, "Bah! Whatever!"
Tiff covered her eyes and put her head down saying, "Oh man..." Minta gained five Mini Stars, Celine gained three, Dedede gained three and Tiff received one. The group were warped back to the boat and were back in their swimsuits. It was Tiff's turn and she took the wheel. She got a 6 which took her to a green space.
"Darn it! So close!" Tiff groaned giving control to Celine.
"Hey, I need this more than anyone!" Celine claimed. Celine hit her Dice Block and got a 3. The boat moved one space then stopped on it. The space was a purple space with glaring yellow eyes on it. Next to the space was a giant black door with a skull on it. Suddenly, sinister laughter could be heard. In a flash of black light Marx appeared before them.
"HA! HA! HA!" Marx laughed, "Well, you took your merry time getting here, didn't you Celine?"
"I guess I did," Celine said.
"Well, I guess you and your rag tag group going to be completely destroyed by Asylus's minion guarding this area. Oh King White, it's lunchtime and you're going to love the food I brought ya!" Marx said before using his magic to send the gang flying through the door to face King White.
Type: Boss Battle
Name: King White's Feeding Frenzy
Rules: King White has a mega-sized appetite. Feed him the bombs thrown by friendly Poppy Bros to give him serious indigestion.
The gang [still in their swimsuits] all dived in a large body of water swam deep underwater. Their swimsuits are magical which allow them to breathe underwater. They looked ahead and saw a giant white shark wearing a golden sparkling crown swim towards them. The beast opened its mouth revealing many rows of razor sharp teeth. Minta and Celine gulped when they saw those. From above on the surface, two boats were floating. Poppy Bros were tossing bombs into the sea which the gang could use to fight King White. King White roared at the quartet thus the minigame began.
"Bring it on you oversize fish stick!" Dedede challenged. He grabbed the nearest bomb and threw it King White causing damage and giving Dedede three points. Tiff reached to get a bomb, but Minta snagged it first and kicked it at King White gaining three points.
"Minta! That was mine!" Tiff yelled.
"I didn't see your name on it!" Minta claimed. The beast charged at them, but they all were able to evade the attack.
"Ha! Missed!" Celine taunted. Celine and Tiff both grabbed bombs and chucked them at King White hitting him in the face. Tiff quickly grabbed another and threw it at him hitting King White again. King White rushed at her, but she swam up to avoid the tackle. Dedede got struck however making him flip around uncontrollably and lose two points.
"Stupid fish!" Dedede shouted as he flipped. During this Celine and Minta both grabbed two bombs and threw them at King White getting six points each. Dedede was able to stop himself and got a bomb, but Celine snatched it from him.
"THIEF!" Dedede barked. Celine quickly threw it at King White before Dedede could take it back. This blow was the one that got King White enraged. His skin turned red and he had steam coming from his head. The current score was Tiff – 6, Celine – 12, Minta – 9 and King Dedede – 1.
"Sheesh, he's redder than a Maxim Tomato!" Minta claimed.
"Celine did it!" Dedede tattled.
Tiff said, "You know, if he wasn't moving so much I would have thought he was cooked." King White spat out a sound wave at the group which hit Tiff and Dedede stunned them. King White rushed over and tackled them making them both lose two points.
"How dare you hit the mighty King of Dream Land!" King Dedede barked.
"Ouch! You're gonna pay for that!" Tiff shouted throwing another bomb, but King White leaped into the air evading it. Minta saw the shadow and quickly swam out the way. Celine also swam and barely dodged getting body slammed. King White swam away as Tiff and Minta pelted him with three bombs; two from Tiff and one from Minta. He quickly turned around and spat out a sound wave hitting everyone, but Celine. She took this bonus time to grab two more bombs and chuck them at King White getting six points. The giant shark rushed over and tackled Dedede; Minta and Tiff were too far away and were spared. Minta grabbed another bomb, but Tiff ripped it from her grip and threw it King White.
"That's not cool!" Minta claimed.
"You did it to me!"
"I didn't rip it from your grip though!"
"True, but I still got the points!" Tiff said with a smile. King Dedede threw a bomb at the beast, but the shark jumped swam over it and charged at him tackling him again.
"Stupid fish..." Dedede groaned rubbing his head. Celine and Minta both grabbed a bomb and threw them at King White. Minta's bomb hit first and she got the KO blow giving her a three point bonus. King White gave one final roar and disappeared in a flash of white smoke.
The scores were: Tiff: 13, Celine: 18, Minta: 18 and King Dedede: 0. The results were Celine – first, Minta – first, Tiff – third and Dedede – dead last.
"Yahoo! I did it! I won!" Celine cheered as she twirled around on her toes, spin jumped and did a victory pose.
"Victory is mine!" Minta sang spin jumping and doing a pose, "I'm number one!"
Tiff shrugged her shoulders and said, "You can't win them all..."
Dedede dramatically got on his knees and screamed to the sky, "NOOOOOO! WHY ME?" Because this was a special Boss Minigame the group got more Mini Stars. Celine and Minta gained ten Mini Stars, Tiff gained four and Dedede received two. Since Celine was the captain she received a Captain Bonus. She was in first place so her bonus was an extra five Mini Stars. The group were warped back to the boat and were back in their swimsuits. The door disappeared in a black light.
"Congratulations!" Francine said, "Good job on making it this far! Let's look at the standings!" The current score was Minta is first with 24 Mini Stars, Tiff is second with 21 Mini Stars, Celine has third with 19 Mini Stars and King Dedede in dead last with 8 Mini Stars. "Well, it seems Tiff, Celine and Minta are really close together and have quite a lead over King Dedede, but many things can happen as we reach the second half of Smoothie Sea. Good luck to everyone!"
"I think there's been some cheating going on here!" King Dedede accused.
"Oh brother," Celine sighed, "You always say that when things don't go your way!"
Minta agreed, "Yeah Dedede, maybe you should stop blaming everybody else and try a little harder!"
"I do, but your cheating really has an impact on it!" Dedede claimed.
"Oh boy, this is gonna be a long trip," Tiff groaned resting her elbow on the boat and putting her head in her hand.
