Hello, everyone. TC here with a short oneshot...at 1:00 in the morning.

Just to clear any confusion, DK's supposedly a young adult (18-19). But enough of that, enjoy my short oneshot.


It was a warm afternoon in Kongo Bongo, most of the animals were relaxing while some of the Kongs remained busy.

Inside one of the tree houses, Donkey Kong was laying down in his hammock, playing a gameboy color. His baby nephew, Diddy, was sleeping on one of his arms. However, Cranky seemed to be pacing around inside the treehouse. He obviously seemed to be annoyed with something.

"I don't understand. Today's a nice day to go off and do something and here you are, playing crappy video games!" Cranky ranted as he continued pacing. "I mean seriously, they had to add 'color' to those ridiculous handhelds?"

"It's not crappy," Donkey argued, "I've actually made it far, in this game. In fact, I'm almost ready to wake the Windfish."

"If you ask me, that game was much better in black and white," Cranky argued.

"Eh...I knew you'd say that!"

"By the way, have you been doing anything, at all?" Cranky grumbled. Donkey nodded, not looking away from the gameboy. Cranky glared at his grandson, "Oh, so aside from playing games and taking care of Diddy, have you been keeping an eye out for the Kremlings?"

"They're not doing anything," Donkey said. He was almost running out of health, as an annoying beeping sound came out of the gameboy's speakers.

Cranky placed both his hands on his hips. "Oh? Then what about the Bananas? Have you gathered any more bananas for the hoard?"

Donkey had a blank expression on his face, he wasn't sure how to answer that question. "Uh...maybe?"

"Well, if you'd stop playing that damn video game and actually pay attention, you'd actually learn a thing or two." Cranky snapped. "I mean seriously, first they give handhelds color, and the next thing you know, video games will start to look 3D. It's a waste of money if you ask me! And at least back in my day, I actually listened to my grandparents...granted, I ended up in Brooklyn for a while, but other than that, at least I know how to get things done!"

Cranky stared at Donkey with a blank expression. "You haven't been listening to a word I've said, have you?"

"Nope."

"You numbskull," Cranky muttered, "If you don't gather any bananas for that hoard, I'll punish you even worse than you've ever been punished!"

After that, Cranky left his cabin. Donkey didn't like the sound of that, he needed to start gathering bananas and fast.

The big ape heard a small squeak. Diddy was rolling over to his side, clutching Donkey's arm like a pillow as he continued sleeping. The big ape couldn't help but smile at the baby monkey. He figured he would just continue his game. "I'll do it, later."


Welp, that's about it. I know Gameboy Colors probably wouldn't exist back then, but I wanted to give Cranky something to rant about. Also, DK was playing Link's Awakening, if you haven't figured it out.

All right, it's time for TC to get some sleep. Good night!
