Rick Piñata

Chapter 1: Porridge and Plot Holes

"Ahhh… Nothing but a warm cup of tea after going to the lake to fish," Rick said, sighing.

Suddenly, the doors burst open.

"Who ate my porridge!?" Kirby asked, glaring at his bowl, which he took from his home.

"King Dee Dee Dee?" Rick suggested.

"He doesn't like porridge! Maybe you ate it!" Kirby protested.

"I hate porridge!" Rick protested.

"Maybe… Heh heh heh! Goldilocks ate it!" Kirby said, laughing.

"Kirby, you have a really bland sense of humour," Rick sighed, not amused at all.

"Well I need to know who ate it!" Kirby said, angrily.

Then, out of nowhere, a humongous army of Waddle-Dees and Waddle-Doos came marching into the room.

"Yikes! What are you doing here!?" Rick said, angrily.

A Waddle-Dee held its hand out with a message on it.

"What does this say?" Kirby said, snatching the scroll of paper from the Waddle-Dee's hand.

"Rick and Kirby must come to the castle immediately!" Rick read.

"How does King Dee Dee Dee know that your name's Rick?" Kirby asked, while the two walked to the castle.

"And how come you're an anthropomorphic animal?" Kirby asked again.

"Because my creator had a wild sense of imagination? I dunno!" Rick sighed, rather, um… wildly.

"Well, we're here! C'mon! Let's go!" Kirby said, running into the castle.

"Remember last time you came here? You ate seventy-three Waddle-Dees, and ate the garden," Rick said, pointing to the spot the garden used to be.

Rick walked in, only to find King Dee Dee Dee.

"Hey, do you know where Kirby is? That porridge he made was delicious!" Dee Dee Dee said, smacking his lips.

"I thought you hated porridge!" Escargoon said in protest.

Because the author felt bored, Escargoon fell into a plot hole.

"I have got to say, those things are really convenient!" Rick said, smirking.

"Yeah, he was a snail anyway. You wonder how he walks so fast!" Dee Dee Dee said, looking down the hole.

Kirby came running in the room.

"I did it! I did it!" Kirby exclaimed, running around the room.

"You did what?" Rick asked.

"I won these two tickets to France in that competition!" Kirby said, still pacing around the room.

"Hey! Let me take that!" Dee Dee Dee said, snatching the tickets. "Escargoon and I could really do with these! You two can run the castle for the next week!"

Dee Dee Dee pulled Escargoon out of the plot hole.

"Did you just say we're going to France?" Escargoon said, with a worried look on his face.

"Yes!" Dee Dee Dee said, smiling and nodding.

"But they cook snails there!" Escargoon said, pausing.

"Oh, shut up about the cooking! Think about the sights!" Dee Dee Dee said, looking at a postcard that came with the tickets.

"Chefs, tourists and ovens, oh my! Chefs, tourists and ovens, oh my!" Escargoon said, dizzily, and then went unconscious.
