Hello! This is my first fanfiction that I have ever written. And I figured that it might as well be about my favourite franchise, Kirby! This is just a retelling of the first Kirby game. I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible while expanding or adding areas I felt were needed. Anyway, enjoy!

The Kirby franchise belongs to Nintendo and HAL Laboratories. All characters shown and used from the Kirby franchise belong to Nintendo and HAL Laboratories. I do not own the Kirby franchise. If I did, we would have a full-fledged Kirby RPG already. Support HAL Laboratories and Nintendo by buying their games. Support the Kirby franchise by buying their games.

Chapter One

The King's master plan!

Our story begins in a place known as Dreamland. Dreamland is known on Planet Popstar for being a land of peace. A relaxing and calming place for the residents to live in. Creatures of all different shapes and sizes reside in this wonderful location. However, we are going to focus our efforts on one person in particular. That person who will be the main character of this tale. You should realize by now who I am talking about. Kirby.

No one knows what Kirby is or where he is from. Not even Kirby seems to know the answer. All that the residents of Dreamland could gather was that he came to Planet Popstar from the stars. In a way, Kirby is like an alien. A fair judgement, considering that Kirby is not able to speak and can only make sounds. He behaves much like a child would and only cares about the two most important things in life. Eating and napping. It's how Kirby would spend everyday in Dreamland since he arrived. And, frankly, the citizens of Dreamland were starting to get sick of his lifestyle. Little did they know that they would depend on Kirby's help in this magnificent story. But that's later on. Let's get caught up with the now.

And right now, it was night time in Dreamland. All the people in Dreamland retired to their houses and got ready to sleep sweet dreams. All except for one individual. This individual was none other than the monarch of Dreamland, King Dedede. King Dedede was feeling very hungry, impressive given his size, and was about to indulge in a midnight snack. So he went to his royal kitchen and saw...

Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing was in the royal kitchen. King Dedede was not in the slightest bit happy at this discovery. His whole body turned red and seem to exude steam from his head. King Dedede let out a terrifying wail that probably woke up all of Dreamland.

"What in the heck has happened to our food!? Somebody, give me answers NOW!"

Suddenly, a very worried and terrified creature ran over to King Dedede. It was one of King Dedede's loyal minions. A Waddle Dee, specifically. And despite not having a mouth of any kind, he responded to his liege.

"All of the castle's food has been emptied out, sire!"

If this piece of news was supposed to calm his King, it would end up doing the opposite of that. With an indescribable expression on his face, King Dedede spoke back to his naïve servant.

"Emptied out! What sort of idiotic, thick-headed numbskull would DARE to do that in my presence!"

Almost immediately, the Waddle Dee responded with an unintentionally mocking statement.

"You, my lord? You did have that huge banquet yesterday. Wait, wouldn't that mean you called yourself an idiotic, thick-headed numbsk-"

His speech came to a sudden halt as the King gave him the most soul-piercing of stares. Waddle Dee swore that he could see himself (and the situation he'd just put himself in) in the eyes of his great King. Safe to say, King Dedede was...

"Instead of falsely accusing me of crimes that I didn't commit... TELL ME HOW YOU PLAN TO FIX THIS MESS!?"

...unamused.

In Kirby's house, Kirby was sleeping soundly. He was in a very deep sleep that would not be disturbed. Quite often, Kirby would be snoring away. What would he be dreaming about? Well, if it wasn't about snacking on giant cakes or sleeping on the world's most comfiest bed, Kirby's dreams would be about his past. Before he arrived to Dreamland.

Kirby dreamt that he was cruising around in the black emptiness of space. He'd dream that he was napping one day on his warp star when he was suddenly awoken by a herd of meteors. He would dream that one of the meteors hit his warp star and sent him hurdling towards Planet Popstar. Kirby would dream about him coming into contact with the planet and landing in a place known as Dreamland. Then Kirby would wake up, troubled. Kirby's warp star was his method of fast transportation. And somehow it took Kirby through a dangerous meteor herd and went off course. If only Kirby was able to remember that his dream was real.

Meanwhile, back at Castle Dedede, the King had rounded up, in his words, "the least stupidest" soldiers in his royal guard. They were all Waddle Dees that were chatting among themselves with the slightest tone of pride in their voices. This was because they had an idea to propose to King Dedede. And they silently prayed that it would mean that the King would show them some respect after all these years.

"As the main counsellor of the three Waddle Dees gathered here in your royal presence, we have been able to come up with a solution to your current predicament."

King Dedede responded back impatiently. He was in a bad mood and wanted to get the meeting over with as fast as possible. He wanted to get some shut-eye after all the drama that occurred.

"Well, spill it then! I don't have time to wait around and hear all of your preschool speeches! Get to the nitty-gritty!"

All three of the Waddle Dees were very much hurt by the King's insult. However, they complied to the King's demands. One of the Waddle Dees spoke up, clearly nervous about revealing the plan.

"Well, the solution is to just simply have a little trip to all the farms and shops in Dreamland and take back what is rightfully yours, my king. You can do it in the dead of night, sire, so no one would be able to notice who did it."

Throughout the speech, King Dedede was getting excited at the prospect of stealing all of Dreamland's food. He was developing a wide grin which would look creepy and weird if the King got any happier. The Waddle Dees noticed that he was practically jumping up and down like an excited toddler.

"Hahaha! That is the greatest idea to steal as my own all of you have ever thought up! I can imagine it now... the castle's royal kitchen filled to the brim with food that it's ready to explode... all my minions and servants at my command to feed me... and none of the stupid Dreamland folk will know what to do and have no choice but to work for me in order to survive. I LOVE IT!"

King Dedede walked to his royal throne and sat down in a jovial matter. He was ready to give the Waddle Dees his orders. Pointing a finger dramatically at them, he gave his instructions that would set in motion the plan that would give birth to the newest and most heroic saviour of Dreamland.

"Round up all the troops in the castle! In one hour we leave the castle and make for Dreamland. All of their food should belong to ME! GO!"

The Waddle Dees gave a formal nod to their liege and made a mad dash towards the doors. They had to tell everyone the plan. As they were sprinting down a hallway, one of the Waddle Dees spoke in an ecstatic manner.

"I can't believe that King Dedede took credit for our idea. That means he must really love it!"

All three of the Waddle Dees jumped for joy and shouted out loud.

"YEAH!"
