A.N.: The Kippea Train RIDES AGAIN! Kirby is in this one, but only because I really like the idea that he and Peach would be friends. He won't be in any future installments of this so I'm not putting this in the crossover section.


"Say 'ahh', Kirby~!" Peach sang as she held out a fork with a bit of cake on it toward the pink puffball of a hero.

Kirby had accidentally teleported through dimensions on his recent adventure that he was technically in the middle of, but at the sight of Peach he was all too happy to take a break and enjoy her baked goods again since neither knew when the next Smash tournament would be, and he had missed her baking from the last time they had seen each other.

"Poyo!" Kirby cried cheerfully, and gently took the bite happily, having been one to always enjoy Peach's baking to the fullest in a slow manner than his usual tactics of eating.

"Why must you feed him like that? He can just inhale it on his own!" King Boo quipped hotly, obviously trying not to sneer since even he couldn't help admitting to himself that the puffball would have made an adorable Boo if he didn't already have feet. However the ghostly monarch was trying not to sneer for another reason altogether and it bothered him greatly.

"That may be how he usually eats, but when it comes to my baking he's nice enough to actually take it slowly and savor it, right Kirby?" Peach replied nonchalantly, keeping Kirby part of the conversation so as not to be rude in talking about him since he was right there.

"Poyo!" Kirby agreed cheerfully, gently biting another piece she held out for him. Her baking was to die for, and he was gladly putting his rather important mission on hold for the sake of savoring the deliciousness she always made with love and care.

"Well you still don't have to feed it to him, he has hands like mine and any other boo, even I know he can hold a fork!" King Boo retorted, trying not to whine.

Peach's right brow raised at that, as he had given himself away.

"You're jealous." She noted with a click of her tongue.

"I most certainly am not!" He scoffed defensively. "But I am envious of the special attention you're giving him!" He corrected sternly. "I thought I was your favorite orb!" He finally whined.

"You are my favorite orb." Peach replied sweetly without hesitance. "However, Kirby is an old friend that I usually only see once a Smash tournament, and at least he enjoys eating."

"I'm getting used to eating." King Boo shot back lightly in a small grumble.

"Poyo!" Kirby cried again in response but at a higher pitch, having since taken the plate of cake and the fork from Peach after the quip about his nubby hands, and offered a bite to the ghost king.

King Boo had a look on his face that was a kind of grimace that said he was trying not to smile, especially since Kirby was so damn cute and at that offer of a bite of his cake, the ghostly monarch was so damn flattered!

"DARN IT YOU'RE PRECIOUS YOU PINK PUFFBALL! THANK YOU!" King Boo screeched, being careful not to swear in front of a lady, and graciously taking the bite offered to him. DAMN IT THE CAKE WAS HEAVENLY AS ALWAYS!

As he savored that bite a flood of thoughts came to mind regarding Peach, most along the lines of 'he really was going to have to get used to her having friends outside of himself' and 'she was going to be a fine wife when they got married he really needed to get the courage to talk about a wedding date but definitely not in front of a guest'.

"Forgive me, Kirby for any ill will I may have shown towards you, but know that I have been enlightened by your kindness. You are indeed good people, and are welcome anytime you are in our dimension." King Boo told the star warrior graciously in a regal tone while patting his head.

"Poyo!" Kirby nodded happily, apology accepted.

Peach smiled at the two happy that her fiancée was able to make amends even if she knew Kirby could hardly care any less so long as he was happily stuffing his face. Still, she decided to reward her fiancée nonetheless for his good behavior, as she silently urged him closer to her with a finger motioning him to 'come here'.

He saw it at the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but blush in a bluish hue as he saw the smirk in her eyes, and silently obeyed by floating over to her. "Yes, dearest?"

She pecked his cheek which startled him into closing his mouth a little, which was incentive enough for her to get at his practically puckered lips with a better kiss. Which he moaned slightly into and then whined again, as he just managed to pull away after five seconds of indulging of course.

"Dearest! Not in front of-!" She interrupted him with a finger.

"Shh, it's just Kirby, and really, who's he gonna tell?" Peach told him cheekily and closed her eyes, puckered her lips again, removed her finger from his lips, and waited.

"As you wish." He mumbled back in in a sigh of relief and trusting in her judgement. He made a brief glance in Kirby's direction and found the pink puffball's eyes closed in bliss at the sweetness of the cake he was eating, before turning back to his beloved fiancée to finish off that kiss, slightly moaning blissfully as soon as his lips touched hers.

Meanwhile, as Kirby swallowed his latest bite of cake, he opened one eye and spotted the two kissing, but paid it no mind otherwise other than noting the blush on Peach's face meant that she was happy, so he happily continued to eat the cake Peach had made for him.

The little pink star warrior had always lived a simple life, living life to the fullest in eating all delicious foods that he could and thoroughly enjoying naps in the summery days and protecting his home when the need arises. He didn't understand the complex natures of societies such as marriage and politics, perhaps that was partly why King Dedede butted heads with him so often, regardless the point is, if Peach was happy, then he was happy for her. She deserved every bit of happiness, just as much happiness he had whenever he ate her baked goods even.

He remembered watching her stress baking in between tournament rounds in which she was up for, there was a sadness in her eyes when her mind wandered and he could never ask about it since he couldn't say anything besides 'poyo'. He never had to ask anyway, she had a tendency to tell him of her troubles as soon as she remembered that he was even there, especially when he tried to sneak a taste early. He may not remember all the details of what she had told him back then, especially since there was nothing he could have done about it either, they were from two different dimensions, as much as he would be proud to be her champion, he was not able to be, for that title fell to Mario. Still, he was glad to see that she didn't need Mario as much and that she has found quite a bit of happiness since the last time he saw her. King Boo was good people too, even for a ghost.

Eventually, Kirby had to say farewell and get back to his mission in saving his home once again. Princess Peach and King Boo saw him off on his warp star as it somehow went into hyperspace just as he flew out of sight so he could cross dimensions again. The last he saw of them they were leaning into each other as they waved good-bye, and knowing that in their world they wished on stars, he made a wish for their happiness together.
