Glue Fest

Part 1

It was a beautiful morning in Dream Land. Dew dripped off the luscious plants and tree leaves. The mighty castle stood overlooking the village. It's inside this castle the real fun begins.

Meta Knight's eyes fluttered open. It was the beginning of another day in Dream Land. He hopped out of bed sheepishly, wrapped in his cape as usual. He walked to the door and went to open it, but his arms didn't move. He tried to move his arms again to no avail. "That's unusual," he muttered to himself. Meta Knight struggled to break free of his mysterious hold, but found that it wasn't possible. He glanced at the door and raised his foot to the knob. He managed to unlock the door and he pushed it open. 'This has Metal written all over it,' he thought to himself as he entered the hallway.

After a while, Meta Knight spotted Metal in the hallway. He stomped up to him, anger fueling his step. Metal turned to the knight and grinned.

"Good morning sunshine! You look especially happy today," Metal cheerfully said.

"What did you do to me?" Meta Knight irritably asked.

Metal chuckled and quietly replied, "It's funny you'd ask me that."

"Why are my arms stuck?" he asked, his anger and tone rising.

Metal scratched the back of his head and quickly began, "Funny story about that. See, I was looking at a worm the other day," Meta Knight raised a brow, "then I thought to myself hey, what would a person's life be like if they didn't have any arms?"

Meta Knight becomes very confused at this point.

"So, I went to your room last night while you were sleeping, found some super glue, and, uh, yeah…" Metal finished with a falling tone.

"YOU SUPER GLUED MY ARMS TO MY CAPE?!"

"And your arm to your other arm," Metal added calmly.

"Why?" Meta Knight asked, obviously freaked-out.

"Didn't I just get done explaining that to you," Metal sarcastically replied.

Meta Knight began to furiously struggle and shouted, "Metal, once I get unstuck I'm going to KILL YOU!"

"Whoa, take it easy man, or you're going to rip your skin off!"

He immediately stops and asks, "That could happen?!"

"I don't know, but I wouldn't risk it," Metal dumbly replies.

"Fix this!"

"Cut me some slack dude, I've been trying to find a way to get the glue off since I put it on." He holds up the glue bottle in front of Meta Knight and continues, "I mean this doesn't exactly tell you how to get it off." He begins to read the back and says, "All it says is 'Do not use for practical jokes'."

Meta Knight's eye starts to twitch in frustration.

"Oh," Metal says looking up from the bottle. He threw the bottle behind him, grabs Meta Knight's shoulder blade, and says, "Don't worry, just do what'cha normally do. I'll think of something."

Meta Knight leaned in closer and angrily whispered, "And I'll think of the most painful way to get back at you."

Meta Knight sat at the long dining table. He stared down at his breakfast, trying to think of a way to eat it. Then, he hears breathing next to him. He looks over and sees Metal leaning close to him and staring at him. Meta Knight looked tiredly at him.

"Do you have to observe this close?" he asked, slightly annoyed.

Metal returned the look and replied, "Yes."

Meta Knight placed his foot against Metal's chair and pushed him a few inches away. He looked back at his food and said, "Ok, I can do this." He took a deep breath and reached for his fork.

Suddenly, King Dedede walks up behind him, throws his arms up, knocks his head into to plate, and cheerfully says, "Good morning Dream Land!" He walks away while saying, "What's for breakfast today? I'm starving."

"Wow, everyone's cheerful today," Metal adds as he watches the king leave.

Meta Knight slowly raises his head from the plate. Large food globs slid off his mask as he turns and glares at Metal. He stares back at him then points to the side of his face and says from the corner of his mouth, "You got a little something-"

"I KNOW!"
