A Pink Visitor

by kirbygirl123

Sheila is just your average teenager in high school. But when a certain pink puffball's starship crashes on their school campus, she and her friends have to find out what it is, how it crashed there, and what it wants. Based on a story I entered into NaNoWriMo in 2012. Oh, and by the way, Customer Service is now a human. NOTE: THIS IS AN AU!

1. Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Kirby or the franchise itself (like the games, the anime, and the character himself). Kirby belongs to Nintendo and HAL Laboratory :) The only characters that I own are my OCs (basically anybody not from the Kirby universe).

A/N: This story was originally created as an entry for NaNoWriMo in 2012. Unfortunately, I did not win, but I was 11k words away from winning. Not bad, right? But I actually managed to write a lot of chapters, so this will be updated often. It is based on the first episode of Hoshi no Kaabii/Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (it's called "Kirby Comes to Dreamland" if you're wondering :P), but in this case he doesn't crash in Dreamland. So in other words, this is an AU since they are not on Popstar anymore...they're on Earth now XD The prologue is, of course, definitely based on the first episode though. I hope you enjoy the story :D

Time Unknown, Location Unknown

A starship was flying at a slow pace. It was a yellow ship and it was in the shape of a star. The cockpit was in the center of the ship, and a glass dome covered it. In the cockpit was one passenger. He was pink and his body was shaped like a ball. His name was Kirby.

Kirby was sleeping. Since space travelling took a long time, Kirby decided to sleep the whole way instead of bothering to try staying awake. He usually had dreams about food because he loved to eat. In this dream, he found a huge strawberry shortcake that was twice the size of him. He was so happy because he was very hungry. Kirby tried to swallow up the whole thing but he wasn't able to. Then he tried floating in the air and floated up to the top of the cake. He did a little dance and then he tried taking a bite out of the cake.

But as soon as he was about the bite the cake, Kirby woke up from his dream. An alarm went off, and WARNING! appeared across the screen. Then the cockpit started to close up and Kirby was panicking. Poyo? he thought, which probably translates to What's going on?

All of a sudden, the starship went to hyperdrive and Kirby closed his eyes. This was the worst part about space travelling. It was a lot worse than riding a roller coaster after you just ate something. It was like your stomach was literally getting crushed, your brain had a huge migraine, and your whole body was shaking because the ship was going at such a fast speed. The starship went into the wormhole, which would lead the starship to its destination. The whole time he was in the cockpit, Kirby was thinking about every single thing he had ever eaten and wondered if he would ever get to eat anything again. He became very scared and started whimpering.

When Kirby least expected it, the starship got out of the wormhole and stopped. His body was then slammed against the glass and he slid down to his seat. Kirby opened his eyes and saw what was in front of him. It was a blue and green planet, with white spots scattered around the surface of the planet. The monitor had a picture of the planet on the screen and the name said Earth.

"Earth," Kirby muttered. "Poyo poyo..." which meant "I wonder what it looks like..."

What do you think so far? Please review! :D Feedback is appreciated. Just remember, constructive criticism is welcome, but not flames. ;)
