Chapter One: Journey to Isle Delfino
"Isle Delfino, the tropical paradise you've always dreamed about. It is the home of beautiful beaches, kind and friendly people, and succulent seafood".
"Ah, that place looks like I imagine heaven to be," said Yoshi, who was watching a video advertising the island. "Except with more food" he continued, while his mouth began to water. It watered so much that with a little foam, someone might have thought he had rabies. This was very unlikely; however, as most people knew those human-sized, happy, green dinosaurs could not become rabid. And that was what Yoshi was -- a happy green dinosaur.
"Pyo byo piyoh," commented the pink, round, creature called Kirby. Of course, no one around knew what he was trying to say, so Kirby poked the little girl standing behind him who had previously been in deep thought.
"Oh, sorry," said the girl, whose name was Tiff, "I forgot the only way I could go anywhere with you guys was to be Kirby's translator." What she said was true. If Tiff wanted to go along anywhere she had to repeat what Kirby said, except in English. Oh how she wished Kirby knew English, or the Yoshi tongue. "Any way," she continued, while thinking that she should have stayed on her home planet of Popstar, "Kirby says that he thinks Yoshi is acting very stupid right now, and that he needs to wipe the drool off his cheek".
"Oh," said Yoshi, turning pinker than Kirby, "That sometimes happens when I think of food. Especially fruit, and this island we're going to is filled with all types of exotic foods - bananas and pineapples, and those weird spiky fruits, and pears, and…", we stop here because there is no need to continue typing what he says. If you want to know what his next words are, find a list of every tropical fruit known to Yoshi kind.
Kirby had stopped listening to Yoshi as well, and instead leaned towards Tiff (it is hard to notice when Kirby leans, due to the fact that he is round). "Byo suika pyo?" he asked.
"He's over there, staring at the wall," Tiff answered, "Oh, and now he's poking it. Better stop him before he licks the ceiling". Kirby walked over to the young man clothed in green. His name was Link.
"Piyoh?" asked Kirby.
"Oh, hello," Link responded, although he had no idea what Kirby meant to say. Link, like all of us, could not understand how Kirby could not speak English, and yet could understand it when another spoke the language. Naturally, then, he was also curious about the piece of machinery he was in. "I was just examining this incredible device" Link explained, trying to sound professional.
"That's just another way of saying he was poking the wall" Yoshi whispered to Tiff.
"So this is called an airplane," continued Link, unaware of the rude comments being made about him. "This is so cool. I didn't know they could make a machine that actually allowed anybody to fly. I mean, in Hyrule, only birds and other magical creatures could do that".
This all was very unbelievable to Link, but it would to you, too, if you lived in a world where people fought with swords and arrows. In fact, Link carried those things with him always, and enjoyed showing them off.
"Have you seen my ice arrows?" Link asked Kirby, who was already rolling his eyes. "Yes, they're really very awesome," Link continued, "I bet this plane can't freeze a volcano, but my ice arrows can!" Link walked around in his thinking pose. "Of course, getting on this plane took a great ordeal, didn't it?" The entire group could agree with that. "Ah, yes, I remember like it was yesterday"
"Pyo Biyoh," corrected Kirby.
"Kirby says that we got on the plane this morning, not yesterday," said Tiff.
"Guys!" shouted Yoshi, "He was about to start a flashback".
"I know, but we can't have a flashback starting on a falsehood" said Tiff, translating for Kirby.
"She's right you know," said the pilot.
"Can we just start the flashback now?" said Link, muttering something about not liking political correctness.
"Okay, now that that's settled" said Tiff, translating for Kirby.
Link began: "I remember it like it was this morning"

"Oops, sorry you guys had to see that, wrong flashback" Link apologized.
"Just flashback to the castle" said a grossed-out Yoshi.

Link, Kirby, Tiff and Yoshi (who had just canceled his blind date) were going to Mushroom Kingdom Castle to spend some time with Mario, Luigi, and Peach. But when they got to the door, a rude teenage girl in jeans and a T-shirt said that the people they were looking for were gone (for more info, read "Princess for a Day" by elpinkderino.) When the four inquired further, the girl said:
"I don't know! Why don't you, like, go on vacation or something! NEXT!"
Although the girl had been very rude in saying that they should go on vaction, just so she wouldn't have to deal with the heroes, they decided she had a good idea. Besides, Yoshi, Kirby, and Link had helped found the Super Smash Bros., which was a group of heroes from all over that met every once in a while for fighting tournaments or ice cream socials! The trio desereved to relax. Yoshi led them to a private hangar outside the castle, where they slept in an isolated room. (Meanwhile, although they didn't know it, a group of people who had recently returned from a doll convention went in the hangar and got on a plane about an hour before the trio woke up.) The next morning, Link and company decided to go to Isle Delfino, which was an island one of the pilots called home.

"That was kind of a long flashback, don't you think?" said Yoshi.
"What are you, a critic?" Link retorted, "Do they even have flashback critics?"
"Pyo biyoh" Kirby said, breaking up the argument.
"Excuse me," said the pilot, who was one of the tree-like Piantas, "We're going to land in about 15 minutes".
At the sound of those words, the group of people quickly fastened their seatbelts while the Isle Delfino video that Yoshi had watched earlier began to play. This time it finished, when a group of dancing Piantas waved goodbye and a small silhouette of a man jumped up in the background.
"Hey," said Yoshi, "Doesn't that guy look like…"
"Midna?" suggested Link.
"No," Yoshi said, correcting Link, "Oh, I can't put my finger on it, but there's something familiar about that guy". The figure was chubby and wore a hat. He had suspenders along with a black mustache.
"Oh, well," said Tiff, speaking for herself this time, "It's probably no one." Kirby nodded his head in agreement.
"We're beginning our descent," said the pilot. The group could feel the altitude changing.
"Look at the ocean!" exclaimed Link, who was looking out the window.
"Byo," (You can guess who said that). Then, Tiff translated, saying Kirby thought the ocean was beautiful.
"There's Delfino Airstrip!" Yoshi shouted, very excited. The airstrip was on a small island of the coast of Delfino Plaza, the commercial area of Isle Delfino. After a few moments of silence, Yoshi saw something.
"Guys," he began, "What is that brown stuff on the airstrip?" Kirby, Tiff, and Link all looked out the window and realized that the dinosaur spoke the truth.
"I have a feeling," Link began, in a dramatic sort of voice, "That our vacation is not going to be all about rest and relaxation"
To Be Continued… (I just love saying that)
