In honor of the new Kirby cafe, and at radiantseraphina's suggestions, I am writing a Coffee shop AU for the plot of Planet Robobot. Many ideas are from her inicial post post/147719513692/so, and I've added a bit. I know I have another fanfic in hold, but maybe this one will help me improve my writing? I really feel like I need it.

Enjoy!

Most coffee shop owners would be depressed at the thought of a quiet cafe. But Kirby wasn't. The coffee shop was quaint, small, and quiet. There were not many clients, but Kirby was happy with it.

In the middle of a busy street laid Kirby's Dream Café, a simple place, where much of the clientele went not for elaborate drinks, nor the popularity of having gone, but the companionship, the relaxed ambience, and the affable owner. That, and the low prices and proximity to an university did not hurt. So the idea of a relaxed café was fine for Kirby.

Kirby was the nicest guy. Ever. Some said his heart was made of cotton candy, which was ridiculous, but Kirby had gone to check it anyways. An affable man, some still considered him a kid. He was a pretty great mechanic (which helped save on fixing the machines), and his disposition made him an easy boss to work with. To disappoint him made you feel disappointed. He gave gold stars to his best employees. Ever since he was a kid, he had wanted to open a coffee shop and work with his friends, and boy did he achieve it.

Standing with the coffee machines was Magolor. He had come to the city a while ago, and used Kirby's niceness to get tips on building a coffee shop right across to compete. But after seeing Kirby's distraught expression, he closed his own and went to work with Kirby. He had always been good at making drinks, but not many people would hire him for his shifty behaviour. Kirby, with the metaphorical (checked) heart of cotton candy, gave him a chance.

In the counter was Adeleine. She was an art student, currently finishing her career. She and Kirby were childhood friends, and after she met him again at the coffee shop near her college, and the fact that she was looking for a job, Kirby hired her. The newest logo, along with most of the art in the walls and menu, were of her design. making the coffee shop effectively her giant working portfolio.

Finally, with the customers, was Ribbon, Kirby's girlfriend. They had met once when they were teenagers on a plane, and they had met again a few months prior. After getting the job, Kirby started to crush on Ribbon. Hard. They had been dating for a month and a half now. Ribbon proved that she earned the job truly, as she could be as sweet as Kirby with the clientele, but if even one of them was acting out of line, she'd act as a demon from hell damning jerks to the underworld. But really, she was great for the job.

It was a quiet ordinary day for the coffee shop. The clients had started to show up. He was a man of royal proportions, the one running for mayor and Kirby's old rival, Dedede.

"HOWDY! I hope you have enough cake, 'cause it's about to dissapear!"

Despite his attitude, Dedede was a true friend, and he had kept coming to the café after gaining spots in the high class community. Standing behind him were his bodyguard, Meta Knight, and his Public Relations guy, Waddle Dee.

"Hehe, jus' jestin'. How's mah favorite café in the city doing?"

Kirby laughed off his shenanigans. They were so commonplace, no client even batted an eye at them.

"How's the campaign going, D3?"

"Well, so far the votes are on me, I might just get elected!" Dedede ruffled Waddle Dee's hair "An' ah couldn't have done it without this little fella!"

Waddle Dee was short. Really short. Despite his formal attire, he kept a bandana close by, to remember always having fun. He was not the best in advertising, but knowing Dedede beforehand gave him a lift. Some called him Bandana just for the attire.

"Please sir, don't patronize me for my size."

"Hey, what I'd tell ya, no sir or mister here. Were friends, 'Dana. Now, give me all the food you have!"

"Still not funny, sir"

Meta Knight stood behind both. He used to be Kirby's fencing teacher, but now he was helping his student's friend and protecting him. It was a fine job, and the pay didn't hurt. Of course, not many approached him on account of being 'too serious', but Kirby and the others got along just fine.

"This calls for a quick celebration. Kirby, get yer' bum out here and come eat with us!"

Dedede, Bandana, Meta and Kirby all sat on a corner table, as Ribbon brought chocolate cakes for the others, and strawberry shortcake for Kirby.

Meta Knight raised his hot chocolate. "I propose somewhat of a toast. To 'King' Dedede, and may he be worthy of being in office."

"TO DEDEDE!"

They chatted for a bit, until they heard the sound of a hammer. Kirby turned to the counter

"Magolor, stop banging the machine like that!"

But Magolor was drinking coffee, and wasn't moving at all. Kirby headed out, where he found a run of the mill Joe hammering a sign in front of the shop. After another hit, the man left. Kirby took a look at the sign, and nearly passed out

"KIRBY!" Ribbon ran to hold him from falling. The rest of the gang congregated around him, and as he got up, the sign as still there, so tears started to fall from his eyes.

Coming soon! Right Here!

The great Robobot Mall!
