The Doctor's

Chapter 1
It was just another average day in Dream Land. The weather was rainy the last few days, but now the sun was shining and the plants and grass were luscious green from the much needed water. It was a lazy day for the villagers. In fact, the knights at the castle were taking a day off from their demanding training.
"Oh boy," Blade yawned, stretching as he walked down the hall, "What do you want to do today, Sword?"
"I don't know," Sword replied, walking next to him, "I guess whatever we can think of. Sir Meta Knight did give us the day off."
"Yeah, but all we ever do is train."
The two knights stopped for a moment in thought. Then they threw their heads down and sighed in defeat.
Blade lifted his head up and said, "Speaking of Meta Knight, did you see him anywhere?"
"Um," Sword mumbled, placing his hand on his chin, "Nope. I don't think he got up yet."
"Really? It's not like him to sleep in this late."
"Well, let's go see if he's still in bed."
Blade nodded and they went towards Meta Knight's room. Once they arrived, they stood at the door and Sword casually knocked on the door.
"My lord, are you awake yet?" Sword asked audibly.
"Yes," escaped the room, "come in."
They opened the door and walked in. They noticed Meta Knight was still sitting on top of his bed facing the door.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Just checking to see if you were awake," Blade informed.
"And what if I was asleep?" Meta Knight questioned.
Sword and Blade looked at each other doubtfully.
"Guess we didn't think about that…" Sword said.
"How come you haven't gotten up yet?" Blade asked.
"Um," he muttered, searching the ground for an answer, "I just feel a little…stiff."
"Oh? How so?" Sword asked.
"It's nothing really," Meta Knight reassured, "I guess I should get up."
The navy blue knight slid off the edge of his bed and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he froze, grasped his side and groaned loudly. His subordinates were stunned to see him in pain.
"My lord, are you alright?" Blade asked worryingly.
"It's nothing," he replied through gritted teeth, "It'll go away."
"When did this come up?" Sword asked.
"This morning," he struggled to answer.
"You need to check that out," Blade informed.
"I don't need a doctor," Meta Knight said, standing tall once more.
"Wait a second," Sword said, "are you afraid of the doctor's?"
"Of course not!"
"Oooh?" his subordinates slyly asked in unison.
Meta Knight paused for a second, then sighed and mumbled, "I just don't trust that quack…"
"Who, Dr. Yabui?" Blade asked.
"You don't have to be nervous about him, it's not like he's a mad scientist," Sword shrugged.
"I'm serious," Meta Knight argued, "I don't need a doctor!"
Suddenly, he stiffened then grabbed his side in pain and let out a long moan.
"Sword, get Dedede's car," Blade said.
"Way ahead of ya," Sword replied as he quickly left the room.
