Everything was peaceful on Kongo Bongo. The parrots were squawking, chatting about the day before, and it seemed like nothing would go wrong on a day like this.

Well, all except for one...

Diddy Kong was on home beaten up badly. His left eye was so purple and swollen. He could barely open it up. Tears flowed his right eye, since he was the laughing stock at school.

Squawks the Parrot saw Diddy, and swooped down to greet him. To see how he was doing.

"Hello Diddy." He said. "Why the long face?"

Diddy looked up at Squawks, and let out a sad sigh.

"Wouldn't you know by now?" He said, starting to cry from the pain. "Everyone is bulling me at school. Ever since that adventure I had with DK, they won't stop calling me a ;wimp' or a ' coward. Or anything else they can think of!"

At this point, Diddy could hold it in no longer. The little 7 year- old monkey began bawling. Squawks noticed this, and came closer to him. In a effort to comfort him.

"Just ignore them Diddy. They're just being jerks. They just don't see how big of help you were to DK. Well, I hope you'll be alright Diddy, I have to get back to the Mrs. Bye Diddy. Bwark!"

Squawks took to the skies and he was gone. Diddy sank his head in despair, and slowly made his way home.

Donkey Kong saw his little nephew entering the house he shared with him ever since he adopted Diddy. He came towards him, placing his hand on Diddy's head.

"Hey little buddy." He said in a gentle voice. "How was school?"

"Don't even get me started DK!" Diddy cried, sitting on the floor. Beginning to cry. "It was horrible! Everyone won't stop insulting me! Three bullies even beaten me down to a stake!"

It was at that point, that DK saw Diddy's left eye swollen severely.

"D- did they give you that black eye?" He asked now beginning to feel concerned for Diddy's safety.

"YES! THEY DID! THEY WOULDN'T STOP BEATING ME UP!" Diddy screamed before sobbing heavily.

DK sat down next to Diddy, holding him in his lap. Trying his best to comfort him.

"There there little buddy, if you feel like you don't want to go to that school. We can always home school."

"I'm fine with the school DK, I just don't want to be bullied around anymore." Do you think you can help me?"

DK's eyes softened, looking down at his nephew. "Of course I will Diddy. I would never want to see you in such an unhappy state."

Diddy looked up at DK, giving him a cute smile. "Thanks DK." He said. "I'm lucky to be with you."

DK blushed, before hugging Diddy in a loving embrace.

Later in the day, Diddy was taking a walk. When he saw someone in the distance.

It was a girl, around his age. Wearing a pink beret, a pink tank top knotted at the bottom, pink knee pads on her knees, pink nail polish on her toes. And a long blonde ponytail.

"Hi, are you lost?" She asked.

"No," Diddy replied. "I was just walking. What's your name?"

The female monkey smiled. "Dixie. And your name?"

"Diddy."

Diddy nodded his head. "Sure. I'll see you tomorrow Dixie."

The two parted ways, and back to their homes.

"Dixie..." Diddy said to himself dreamily. "What a beautiful name."

Dixie giggled. "That's a cute name for you. I have to get home, my cousin is waiting for me. See you tomorrow?"
