Hello everyone!

Welcome to "Kirby and the Milky Way Wishes." This is a gijinka AU. Kirby is male.

It's been three years since I wrote my other fic, and it is time to test my limits and see how much better I've improved in writing!

Also everyone's favorite king makes an appearance! (Mostly just to nag Kirby though.) I really wanted to bring in the RtD squad, however they'll only make a small appearance since Kirby is in the spotlight!

One peaceful day on Planet Popstar, right in the heart of Dreamland, slept our hero Kirby.

Curled up in his star-speckled blanket, he softly snores away all of his troubles and worries in his own land of dreams.

Sweet eclairs, satisfying macarons, and marvelous bars of chocolate seemed to rain all around Kirby. He squeals in delight, dancing like there was no tomorrow. Cookies rolled along the mint grass, and Kirby recognize the scents of multiple confectionaries all around him. Donuts were magically looped around trees, strawberry shortcake made up the roads of where he once lived. Kirby truly felt like he was in heaven as he took a deep breath and lied on the ground (which was made of chocolate cake). Kirby was astonished when he glanced at the clouds. They were made of cotton candy. It was too good of a dream for it to end!

Kirby drooled in his sleep, smiling to himself.

As Kirby dreamed wonderfully, the sun was already rising out of the depths of its own slumber.

The glare of the sun shot right through Kirby's window, causing him to flinch. Annoyed, Kirby pulls his nightcap over his eyes and turns away from the painfully bright rays. But he could not sleep off the sudden intrusion of his candy-filled dreams. The star warrior pouted as he turned back to the window, fighting off the brightness with his arm.

It was just another day in Dreamland.

The pink-haired boy fought off the clutches of sleep, and rubbed at his eyes. Dazed, he turns to the window and tries to keep his head up with his small hand.

Wait a minute.

Kirby rubbed his eyes once more and stared in confusion. The sky was now dark; the moon in view and spinning almost cheerfully in the starry sky. Wide-eyed, Kirby attempts to examine why in all of Popstar this is happening. He watched as the crescent spun about, like a boomerang. The stars were twinkling like always, though it wasn't supposed to be nighttime.

A flash of light nearly knocked Kirby out of his bed, caused by the sun to angrily ram itself straight into the moon. It spun rapidly out of Kirby's vision, soon to be replaced by the dancing sun.

"What in the world did I just witness?!"

Yanking his nightcap off, he rushed out of bed and fled to his bathroom to change into his star warrior outfit. He wore it all the time, and even had spares.

Once he was done with all of his duties, Kirby sped out of his bathroom and nearly threw himself at the door. When he passed by his mirror though, he had to check what he looked like.

The frightened citizens of Dreamland chattered to each other anxiously.

"The sun and moon are fighting?"

"I don't even know what time it is anymore!"

Kirby threw his door open, noticing the people pointing at the sky with concerned looks.

"Oh, Kirby! You must see this!"

It was most certainly not the most unusual case of an issue in Dreamland. The last time there was a huge problem was when Dynablade was destroying the crops, but that wasn't extremely odd… She was just trying to feed her children. Unlike this situation.

Somehow, when the sun and moon crashed against each other, it looked like fireworks. It was an amazing display, but very dangerous. Sparks would occasionally be seen bouncing off the two, causing the audience to become startled. It was an intense duel in the sky; a dangerous show. Kirby felt himself worry about the citizens. If either the sun or moon would be destroyed, life on Dreamland wouldn't exist anymore. The thought of this made the star warrior tremble.

He was taken out of his panic by the sound of a ball bouncing.

"Hey! You there!" a voice called out.

The pink haired boy turned around to see a jester bouncing on a ball. When the jester smiled, he could see small fangs. His lilac hair changed in the dramatic lighting that always shifted. Somehow he made bouncing on a ball look graceful to Kirby. The jester was wearing a sort of cape that was designed in a unique way. At the ends of the pieces of cape were bells that jingled with every movement. Of course, he wouldn't be a jester without his special dual colored hat.

"Who are you?" Kirby asked curiously.

"My name is Marx! I have arrived to give you an urgent message!"

"Oh no, this is bad…"

Waddle Dee paced around the small pantry room anxiously, rubbing his arms.

"If the sun and moon are truly fighting… How will King Dedede be able to sleep properly anymore?! Dreamland would be in chaos…" he cried out to himself.

Suddenly, the servant heard loud thumping coming in his direction.

"Oi! I need my damn sleep!" a voice roared through the hallway.

Just as Waddle Dee was about to leave his safe area, he saw his King stomping down the hall. He predicted accurately for once. When Dedede doesn't get enough sleep, he becomes very irritable and easily angered. Waddle Dee didn't want to become his King's daily punching bag.

But a servant is a servant, and must take anything that royalty curses them with…

Waddle Dee peeked out of his safe spot to see nobody roaming the halls. He sighed in relief and he walked out of the door and gently closed it. He was hesitant to admit it, but his King always made him nervous.

"...Waddle Dee."

He felt himself nearly jump out of his skin when his name was said. However, it was just Meta Knight, another loyal servant of King Dedede. For some reason, he noticed that Meta Knight was always wrapped in his cape, as if he was shrouded in mystery.

"Y-You scared me!"

Meta Knight chuckled, and walked in the opposite direction of where King Dedede was walking.

"You do not have to worry so much about King Dedede. Kirby is a star warrior and he is very much capable of stopping the sun and moon from fighting."

The orange haired boy nodded but with a very unsure facial expression. He wasn't very up to date about other citizens, but he was almost… taught by Dedede, to hate Kirby no matter what "good" he does for Dreamland. Waddle Dee was sure that Kirby was a selfless person, as he has seen Kirby offer his life many times in his other journeys, just to keep his friends safe. He watched as the knight slowly disappeared back into the end of the hall and sighed. He pulled up his blue bandana that was out of place. He watched the light from below the door that his King was in, and braced himself. Time to open the door.

"I wonder when Dreamland will ever be able to catch a break."

The pink haired boy was astonished by the news.

According to Marx, Kirby had to travel through space and planets. This was to reach a Nova. They are artificial stars that grant any wish anyone could possibly think of. Marx's plan was for Kirby to reach the Galactic Nova, so the star warrior can make a wish to stop the sun and the moon from conflicting with each other. After Marx had finished his explanation, he looked very excited to see Kirby nod in agreement.

"Oh, so you'll really do it?!" Marx couldn't believe it. He was just a simple jester, and nobody took him seriously because most of the statements he said were simply jokes or riddles. So, when the star warrior had agreed, he was beaming happily. Someone actually considered his words, and it was by the star warrior himself!

"You are truly our hero, Kirby!" he exclaimed, hopping back to the multi colored ball.

Kirby grabbed the back of his cape, which had two small star ornaments hanging from the ends. He yanked one off, only for another to reappear back. With the star charm in his hand, he threw the small object into the sky and watched as it became a special warp star. It spun rapidly in the air, then hovering as it waited for Kirby to begin his departure.

The citizens waved goodbye for now, cheering him on. Kirby could even hear Marx yelling out for him to do his best amongst the noisy crowd.

Jumping onto the warp star, it circled around the sky as it gently carried Kirby away. The vision of Dreamland seemed to quickly fade away, and he saw many patches of land on his trip upwards. His blue eyes stared deeply into the scenery, enjoying the view of many forests and all of the shades of green. Hills seemed to wave in his view, and fields of sunflowers could be seen in patches of yellow in the distance.

Dreamland never failed to make him feel at home.

Kirby held on tight when the warp star began to increase speed, slowly turning out of the way of the conflict between the sun and the moon. Soon, Kirby was enchanted with stunning, colorful galaxies and glittering stars. He took more control of the warp star and twirled in space, taking in the cosmos for himself.

He noticed the first planet, almost completely green. It looked almost like Dreamland.

He took a deep breath, and held on tight as the star sped along the twinkling skies.

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! There are many more to come!
