The quiet night stirred as a warm breeze swept the air. In Puffball Village, the village of Kirby's kind on Popstar, a yellow Puffball with a Beam Hat excitedly looked out her window to see the clear night. Her name was Keeby.

Keeby opened the door to her roof and pulled up her telescope. She had gotten it as a birthday present, given to her by Kaiby. It was a navy blue adorned with yellow stars. Keeby adjusted the telescope and looked up into the night sky. The stars were glowing and luminescent tonight. The air was fresh and crisp, and the only other light was the low light inside the other Puffballs' houses.

"Hi Keeby!" called a voice from below. Keeby looked away from the telescope and looked down from the roof. Kirby was there, waving.

"Hi Kirby!" Keeby called back in response.

"Whatcha doing up there?"

"Looking at the stars. Come on up!" Kirby puffed up and landed next to Keeby.

"Find anything interesting?" Kirby asked, looking up at the night sky.

"No," Keeby replied as she looked through her telescope once again. "But I did find a lot of stars. Ooh! There's Patch Land!"

"Can I see? Please?" Kirby asked excitedly.

"Go ahead." Kirby looked through the telescope to see Patch Land, about as big as a Denden from where he saw. He oohed as he tried to fix the telescope's view and zoom in on the felty planet. Then, he saw it. A bright yet small explosion emerged from the corner of the telescope's view. Kirby quickly aimed the telescope towards the explosion.

"Whoa," Kirby said in awe. "Keeby, look at this."

"What is it?" asked the yellow Puffball. Kirby adjusted the telescope.

"Do you see it?"

"The bright light?" she asked as she squinted to see the explosion.

"Yeah," Kirby said. "Isn't it cool?" Keeby's eyes widened under the looking hole as her hand turned the zoom in nub.

"Hey!" she suddenly exclaimed, surprising Kirby a bit. "It looks like there's a shooting star coming out of it!"

"Really?"

"Look." Kirby peeked again. A tiny object was slowly trailing away from the explosion, leaving a trail of light.

"Whooooaaaa..." Kirby took his time to gaze at the shooting star. Keeby looked up, being able to spot the star very faintly from the roof.

"I wonder what it is..."

"Yeah. Oh, I better head back to my house now."

"Okay! Good night Kirby!"

"Good night!" Kirby cheerfully sang. "Thanks for letting me see your telescope!" Keeby waved to her friend as he floated back down, and started back to his house. Keeby looked through her telescope again, and marveled at the shooting star that now looked closer than before.

The next morning...

Keeby came to Kirby's house, along with the other Puffballs. Standing with Keeby were five other Puffballs.

Kabby, a red Puffball with a dark red Fighter Headband stood at Keeby's left side. He held a box of donuts in his nubs, and a shine of confidence always shone in his blue eyes.

Korby, green Puffball with a purple Painter Cap and Roller Skates held a basket of fruit. A large Paintbrush about his size was strapped to his back.

Kaiby, a light blue Puffball with a Magic Hat on her head winked and absentmindedly spun her Magic Wand in her right nub while holding a plate of cupcakes in her left nub.

Kiby, a white Puffball, shyly hid behind her Parasol. Kirby could see cookies in a basket she held in her nub.

Kasby, a purple Puffball, set down his basket of sandwiches. A Ninja Hat with a silver star emblem rested on his head, and a sheathed Katana was visable on his back.

Kirchy, a brown Puffball, tipped his Whip Hat at Kirby while holding his Whip and a platter of nachos.

"Morning guys!" Kirby greeted after taking the moment to look at all his friends, starting to get hungry.

"Are you ready for the picnic, Kirby?" asked Keeby.

"Yup!" Kirby said as he pulled out a picnic basket and walked out of his house.

"This'll be the best potluck ever!" Korby chimed.

"Well?" Kasby said. "Let's go!" The Puffballs excitedly traveled to the meadow west of Puffball Village. The hills rolled along the landscape,with clear views of Castle Dedede, Cappy Town, and Whispy Woods. A clear, clean lake glistened nearby, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"Wow," Kaiby breathed in. "It's a great day to have a picnic!"

"I-It is..." Kiby whispered.

"C'mon! Let's lay out the food!" Keeby grinned and licked her lips as she helped Kirby lay out the picnic blanket. "I made some strawberry cake." When the whole blanket was laid out and flat, Kirby pulled some small watermelons from his basket.

"I got watermelons!" he chimed.

"Let's dig in!" The group ate happily and chatted about different things.

"Great job planning this get together, Kirby," Kabby complimented. Kirby smiled in response.

"I'm glad we could all finally just have some fun." Kirby sighed to himself, enjoying this moment when he could spend time with ALL of his friends.

Kabby was the first to finish eating, and dove into the lake after putting away his Fighter Headband. He resufaced and started to float on his back. "Ahh! The water's great!" he called to the others.

"Hey Keebs," Kaiby nudged her yellow friend. "Wanna go comb the shore when we're finished?"

"Okay!" The two finished their sandwiches. Kaiby and Keeby sat along the shore and collected the pretty stones they found washed up.

"Nice day today, huh, Kiby?" Kasby said as he bit his sandwich again. Kiby nodded.

"Yes, I suppose," she softly replied.

"By the way, how're you doing on your plush dolls?" Kiby perked up at the sudden interest.

"Oh, i-it's going very well! I think I may even finish before my deadline." The two sat side to side, continuing to chat.

Korby stifled a yawn, then eyed a tree in the distance. The green Puffball inhaled his sandwich, then left and took a nap in a tree. Kirchy noticed, and followed his close friend. He slept under the tree, tipping his hat over his eyes. Kirby, all alone and not wanting to do anything, sat, watching everybody. The day was going quite smoothly.

That was when it happened. The ground shook slightly, then increased. The Puffballs gathered and looked around, looking for the source of the shaking in a slightly panicked fashion.

"W-W-W-Where's th-that com-m-ming from?!" Kaiby shook, trying not to fall over. She and Keeby supported each other, but eventually fell from the tremendous shaking, stuck on the sandy ground.

Kabby struggled to get to shore, and started to flail around. He kicked about, waves stirring water into his open mouth. "H-Help!" he called, shameless with water starting to force its way into his mouth. Seeing this, Kaiby dove in, struggling at first, but eventually making it to Kabby. She grabbed his flailing nub, and helped pull him to shore.

Meanwhile, Korby hugged the tree hoping not to fall off. Kirchy's nubs stuck to the tree like glue, worried about what would happen next. Kabby and Kaiby made it to shore, and everybody fell to the ground, waiting for the earthquake to stop. After 5 minutes, which had felt like forever, the earthquake started to calm down.

"I-It's sett-t-tling down," Kirby said to himself. The Puffballs sat up, relieved the sudden quaking settled down. Kiby shook in fear as Kasby consoled her, and Kaiby and Keeby helped each other up. Korby hopped down from the tree and joined the others. Kirchy looked around, cautious.

"That...that was strange," he managed to say. Kasby looked up.

"Hey," the purple Puffball pointed up. "Up there! Is that Sir Meta Knight?" The Puffballs looked up to see Meta Knight soaring above.

"Oh hey, it is," Kabby answered, squinting.

"What's he doing?" Keeby thought aloud.

"I'll go see," the ninja automatically volunteered.

"I'll go to," said Kabby. The red and purple Puffballs sprouted their wings. They're wings were still developing sincetheir coming of age came, but they were long and big enough to fly. The two promptly took to the sky, and Meta Knight stopped in midair when he saw them.

"Kasby. Kabby. Are you okay?" he asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

"We are fine, Sir Meta Knight," Kasby answered. "What are you doing?"

"I am investigating the earthquake," the knight replied.

"What do you think happened?" asked Kabby.

The knight turned to the woods, where a billow of smoke was starting to emerge. "I am almost certain..." His voice trailed off, as if in deep thought.

"What is it?" Kasby asked, wanting to grasp the situation.

"I think there is a new Puffball nearby.

Me: I know, it's sloppy and not that interesting. Puffballs are what I call Kirby's species, in case it wasn't obvious. All Kirby names are from Tumblr blogs, and belong to their respective owners... I probably should've put that up there, huh? Oh well.~
