A/N: Hey, hey, hey! It's here. Yes, IT (and no, not the weird clown alien thing). The sequel to Dissimulation! For those of you who read this and are like 'ZOMG, I don't wanna read another story…' I'll give a brief description:

Dee, a waddle Dee, found Marx and saved his life. They become friends etc. and I added an OC, Nikki. Then Dark Matter come and start to attack Dreamland, led by Drawcia (Don't ask). Then you can just read the last chapter and epilogue to get the rest.

BTW, this takes place as Kirby's epic yarn is happening. Or, the first part anyway.

Trapped

They're happy without you.

I shook my head and opened my eyes. I was in that place again. Where immense darkness blanketed the whole room. I couldn't see anything, so I didn't know who was talking to me. The room itself had no shape or size. It was never ending yet it made me feel claustrophobic. It confused me and confusion really pissed me off.

Here you are, missing them. But they live on without you. How sad.

"Okay, that was creepy. Is that what you were aiming for?" I shouted at the top of my lungs. It hurt my throat.

A being materialized in front of me. She was much taller I was and wore clothes like a witch. She also had that witch hair, the messy stuff, y'know? "Ooooh, you're even cute here! Isn't this fun? We're going to be alone forever." she cackled.

"Oh yay, I get to see your ugly face for the next…forever." I started to cry. I didn't mean to. I didn't even feel sad, it just happened.

"Why are you crying?" she asked in a flat voice.

I scowled. "Screw you! You just ripped me away from someone who loved me and you wonder why I'm sobbing my eyes out!"

"Don't be dramatic," Drawcia sighed, "I love you too anyway. You're a very lovable person!" she sat down next to me on the floor (if there was a floor) so I got up and sat across the room.

Everything grew quiet so I laid down and forced my eyes to close. A feeling of complete hopelessness washed over me and I cried again in an attempt to ease the pain. After a while I felt really tired and fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of complete nothingness. My head hurt so much I wished it would explode and end my suffering. I looked around, but couldn't find Drawcia. I got up and searched for a while. I didn't find anyone so I let out a sigh of relief. That was when I realized I wasn't in the world of darkness anymore. It was more like a forest with pure white trees packed together tightly. It was even creepier than the other place.

"Yeah, you're finally awake!" something hit my head. I saw that it was a broomstick. A broomstick…

A girl hopped over my head and landed in front of me. She looked like an onion wearing a witch's hat and shoes way too big for her body. A tuft of green hair peeked out of her hat, matching her eye colour. "So little purple guy, what do people call ya?"

"If you're asking for my name…you can call me Nonab."

She was sceptical. "Nonab? What kind of name is that? It's nerdy and stupid!" she burst into laughter. I made a creepy grin, hoping to scare her.

"My name is actually Marx," I drew up close to her face, "What's your's?"

"I'm Grill!" Grill smacked my face by accident (I think), "I know you from somewhere…weren't you the guy who wanted to rule Pop Star? You suck."

I felt the blood drain from my face. Was I always going to be greeted like that? I shook the thought out of my head and gave her that creepy smile again. "I don't know who you are, so I guess you suck more. Am I right?"

She shrugged. "Whatev. We need to go home. I have to show my people I'm okay! I only got you here because you looked pathetic. I guess ya need to get back too, huh?"

"Nah, I'm perfectly fine living in the world of the dead. Of course I want to get out of this dump!" I stuck my tongue out, biting it in the process. I swore loudly and Grill hit me with her broom again.

"So who're you going home to? Friends? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Parents? Clones?" she laughed. Her happiness sickened me.

"My best friend…who is also my girlfriend-ish…" I squinted at nothing while I thought, "it's complicated."

Grill grabbed me and dragged me along as she walked. "Then let's get going! We need to travel through all five levels of the Time Gap. Right now we're in level four, for those who commit petty crimes. I was in level three when I first came but I needed someone else to escape with or else I wouldn't be able to. So I chose you!"

"Oh joy," I mumbled, "I get to travel with Miss Cheer the onion. Hooraaay, such excitement…I can't keep it in…"

"Wow, you're pessimistic. I pity your girlfriend," she stopped walking and dragging me, "I forgot how to get out of here. Darn."

"What's the Time Gap?"

"It's where people go when they die. I guess you can compare it to the heaven and hell thing. The 'God' is a creature who travels through dimensions and has the ability to grant wishes." she spoke as she pulled me.

I stood up and grabbed Grill's hat with my mouth, running away with it. She chased after me and beat me with her broom stick. The beating halted suddenly and she took to staring at me. I got up and stuck my tongue out while going wall eyed, trying to break her concentration.

"What's with that? It's freaky, no offence." She continued walking and I followed. I wanted to talk some more, but I know she wouldn't like to.

We wandered for a few hours through the woods of endless white trees. Neither of us said anything for so long it was beginning to send chills up my spine. My desire to speak kept growing until I couldn't take it anymore. "What happened to Drawcia, the old witch lady I was with?"

Grill turned to look at me. "What? Oh her! Yeah, she pretty much handed you over. I can't tell you why. She seemed pretty protective of you when I first came."

"Oh," I wasn't sure what else to say so I shut up again. We kept going until she pretty much passed out near one of the many white trees, "Are you alright?"

She shook her head and patted the white ground next to her. "Let's just rest here for a while. We'll start again when one of us wakes up. Okay?" I sat down about ten feet away at another tree. I didn't want to get too close to her. We were only together to escape. After that we would go our separate ways and I didn't want that to hurt.

I heard a light snoring sound coming from Grill. A wave of fear flooded my body and I closed my eyes. The witch scared me. She could be anything. I didn't know and, to tell the truth, I didn't want to either.

I laid down and took a deep breath. I needed to get home. This strange girl, Grill, I had to cooperate with her to achieve this. It was the only way. I growled at nothing in particular and opened my eyes again to see a tall white tree towering above me (big surprise). A leaf fell off and landed on my face. I blew it away and decided to get some sleep.

A/N: That was painfully short yet a lot happened. I added Grill. Mainly because she's so cute XD! Yay, go Grill!

Urrgh, writing in Marx's pov was hard. I dunno why…I welcome the challenge though! I also want to say…I may have some Grill/Marx in here. One sided (on Grill's half) because Marx is still with Dee.

Please review. Just tell me what you think! No flames though!

Marx: Dokeshisan doesn't own anything and yadda yadda yadda. It's all property of HAL lab except the plot and the Time Gap.
