(A/N)hAH, I'm back but this time weirder than ever. But yes I do realize people hate me but Idrc for that crap and sheet (of paper)right ;u;. Meh, I'm really not that bothered (Nah I really am peeved) ((Nah I nots)) but meep. This is just a random story that I was thinking about writing. (and not to point out anyone but are you annoyed rn because of this Author's Note? Just tell me and I definitely won't talk trash or ANYTHING about you just to clarify. ) This story is inspired by another one (It's called Trapped Together which is a really great Kirby Fanfic).

Anyways this story is just about Halloween and the night after it contains some fluff and really strong friendship bonds and probably some heartbreak or something (btw this is in da Gijinka verse and meep).

Drowning.

That's all he was doing.

Endlessly swirling down a pool of darkness, he tried grasping onto something but there was nothing to hold onto. He writhed and struggled around, constricted by his thoughts and endless insanity. Help!? He tried yelling out but nothing came out of his open mouth. It only got darker and darker around him as he submerged deeper and deeper into his emotion. Kicking and flailing, he got weaker with every move. Am I just going to die here? The boy asked himself as he turned to face the bottom.

It was completely dark.

He could only see the outlines of his hands, boots, and that's about it. Looking down upon the strange darkness, he swam towards it. What had he been struggling to get away from?

Until he saw it.

"Kirby? Magolor? Meta Knight?" he repeated the names clearly as if he were on land already. Quivering, he reached out for his friends. Come on come on! He impatiently kicked his feet faster and reached as far as he could go. His fingertips almost there, his eyes stretched wide open with excitement. He could see them clearly in front of him.

Then, darkness hurtled in.

He gasped and tried running away, but these vines of darkness and evil constricted him, dragging him from his friends. Trembling, he reached forward and tried grabbing Kirby's hand, but ended up getting pulled back. Flipping backward and lurching back and forth he yelped out but then again, nothing came for him.

All just darkness surrounding and engulfing him, grabbing at his wrists and soon around his neck, he could not yell out for help any longer. He grabbed the dark vine at his throat and reached out with another hand. "Help," he managed to say something before fully getting lost in the pool of darkness.

...

"Marx! You're oversleeping again!" a loud childish voice had woken him up. "W-what?" He whipped his head back and forth. "Oh," he was still in his PJs and in bed. "Marx, it's 10:46 am! Get a move on! I woke up at 7:21 am for this moment!" Kirby's voice yelled at the jester from the phone beside Marx's bed. "Alright, alright! I just had a nightmare!" he pushed the covers away and got up. "Marx, do you not realize it's pancake day?!" Kirby squealed, "Sorry. I'm just so excited!" Marx smiled then shifted the blinds. He looked outside his room. It was a nice sunny day, the perfect weather for pancakes in the morning. Or was it already in the afternoon? Marx was questioning himself as he walked out of his room and into the hallway.

"Marx! You forgot me on the phone!" Kirby's voice sounded from his room loudly. "Coming," he went back inside and grabbed the purple phone off his nightstand and walked down the hall to get ready for the day.

"Oh, my NOVA! Marx, your hair is super duper messy," Kirby exclaimed as he opened the door to his house. The young boy reached up to try and fix the jester's hair but ended up losing his balance and toppling over. Marx caught Kirby and fixed his hair on his own. "Marx, your really late again! Seriously why are you always oversleeping!" Kirby giggled. "Well, I-" Marx started, "I had a nightmare." Kirby froze. "Really?" his eyes sparkled. Marx nodded and walked in.

"Hi, Marx!"

"Hey, Mags!" Marx waved to the Halacandran. How the heck did Kirby fit four people in here?! Marx wondered as he looked around and saw Meta Knight, Magolor and Kirby, then himself. Kirby pointed joyfully at the stack of pancakes on the table and smiled at Marx. Marx looked at the tall stack and the plates next to it.

Kirby giggled and ran up to the stack of pancakes and put one of them on a plate. "Here, Marx!" Kirby held the pancake out to Marx. Marx looked at the little boy with pink hair holding up the pancake in a plate. He was grateful to have such friends, yet they don't know the terrible mistake in the past. The jester joyfully took the plate and looked down on it. He looked at Kirby's proud expression as Kirby held a fork out for Marx to take.

Marx glanced nervously at his friends. Then back at the pancake.

"Aren't you gonna take it?" Kirby glanced at Marx with glimmering eyes. "I-I'll take it," Marx shook his head and took the plate off of the young boy's hands. Kirby excitedly bounced up and down, "Taste it! I made it myself!" Marx looked thoughtful at the young boy and ruffled his hair with a hand, "You seem more proud that you've successfully made pancakes than when you took on a huge amount of evil, ambitious... creatures!"

Like me... I tried killing you once, Kirby... Marx thought dully as he took his hand off Kirby's head and looked outside. It was autumn and 4 days away from Halloween. Marx mumbled as he already shoved a quarter of the pancake in his mouth. I'm so sorry, I don't deserve friends like you, Marx darkly thought, his violet eyes dimming with dark thoughts, his mind clouded up and he felt like choking up on something instead of living with everyone else.

"Marx? You 'kay?"

Marx shot his head up and glanced around. "Marx?" Magolor moved next to him and looked at him. "You literally almost choked, are you-" Magolor started. "I'm fine," Marx snapped, "I don't need anyone mooning over me." Magolor flinched. "I-I'm sorry," Marx looked away, his sorry didn't feel sincere to him, it only felt bitter and painful. "N-no, y-you're fine Marx," Magolor comforted the jester, "Really." Marx felt bitterness rasping in his breath as he swallowed down the pancake along with burning guilt and terrible thoughts lingering in his mind.

"Kirby! Give that mask-" Meta Knight started to quarrel with Kirby as the little boy held up the silver mask. Kirby giggled and ran outside with Meta Knight chasing behind him. "Well," Magolor curiously looked at Marx. I still can't believe I'm holding onto this terrible memory, well, I tried killing a child and taking over Popstar and look where it got me, I'm still living for NOVA's sake! Marx envied the two best friends as they chased each other around the grass, laughter trailed inside. "I said, Marx, are you ok?" Magolor snapped Marx out of his thoughts. "Y-yeah," Marx looked at Magolor with a slightly insane glance. Magolor sighed and held his head with a hand, "Marx, come on! You're lying obviously. You look like you've lost 100,000 dollars to The Squeak Squad!"

Marx flinched at the word lying.

"I-I," Marx stuttered. "N-No I'm sorry! I didn't think before I just blurted that! I-I," Magolor stressed out because of what he said. Marx slightly yelled, "Sorry?! You expect me to just apologize?" Magolor flinched and gave Marx a hurt look. "I... I'm sorry," Marx looked down. Magolor smiled a bit, "Come on Marx, don't beat yourself up. I forgive you." Forgiveness? Marx was confused why Magolor had forgiven him for the quarrel he brought on himself.

"Hey, Meta Knight! That's unfair!" Kirby's giggling entered the room.

Oh? They've come back? Marx put down his plate on the table in front of him and walked to the door.

"Meta! You cheated!" Kirby was in Meta Knights arms playfully struggling as the knight walked in the room. "Hey, you took my mask, so what could I do?" Meta Knight said with an amused tone. Easy for you two! Why can't I find happiness Marx looked at the two as Meta Knight lectured Kirby. "Ok, I'm sorry," Kirby shifted his feet as he apologized. Meta Knight nodded with an approval of his apology. Magolor bounded up next to Marx, "Aw, they're like father and son!" Magolor playfully purred and let happiness surge through him. Yeah, he's so happy it's reaching my envy Marx thought and let himself slightly lean on Magolor. Kirby batted at Meta Knight's mask as Meta Knight dropped him. "So, we only have 4 days left till Halloween," Meta Knight started, "What are you planning to be?" Kirby answered at once, "You!" Meta Knight was surprised. "Me?" he pointed at himself. Kirby nodded and looked at Marx. "Well, I dunno!" Marx impatiently answered. "Well, I'm going to be someone special. Like a friend," Magolor happily blinked.

And who is that? Marx wanted to say it out loud but he just bit his tongue. He didn't want to ruin anything again by asking Magolor. "Well, you wanna come over tomorrow?" Magolor snapped Marx out of his thoughts. "I-I," Marx looked up at Magolor. "It's ok if you don't want to, I just wanna spend time with you for a while," Magolor chirped as he clasped his hands together, "It'll be fun!"

Huh, maybe I'll get a chance to actually talk to Mags. Marx looked at him with innocent eyes, "Yeah sure." Magolor practically jumped for joy as he found out his friend was going to spend some time with him. "I'll meet you at the Lor Starcutter at 10 am, ok Marx?" Magolor sweetly told the jester. Dang, why is he acting really sweet now? Why to me? Marx questioned Magolor's emotions and expressions while Magolor just smiled with glee at him. "Y-yeah, sure, I'll come," Marx stuttered as he could practically feel Magolor's sweet tone like his emotion was dripping with sugar and honey.

"Alright see you then!" Magolor put a hand on his mouth as if he were to hide a little laugh and walked out the door. Marx instantly felt like he was melting into the floor. "Uh, Marx, you ok? You're literally sinking through the ground," Meta Knight tapped Marx on his shoulder. The jester instantly realized he had his glittering golden wings out and his legs were halfway sunk in the floor, shadows surrounding him. "Silly Marxie!" Kirby batted Marx on the head playfully. "H-hey!" Marx caught his hat as it almost fell off his head.

10 am, I gotta meet Mags, Marx thought as he burst out of the shadows. Leaping up he hid his wings and patted Kirby on the head, "Alright, thanks for the invite, I gotta go." Kirby giggled as Marx set out towards Whispy Woods. See you guys later he added silently.
