Campfire Smores

It was just a simple day in Dream Land, all was at calm and the atmosphere was tranquil. The sun rised mighty in the sky, the birds chirped in harmony and the sweet laughter of children filled the plain space with happiness. I stood high on a hill, watching below me on the very peek of the ridge and watched Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff and the rest of the children play soccer. Well, Tiff was writing something under the shady tree, once in awhile yelling at Tuff to go easy on Kirby.

I smiled a small smile under my mask as I watched Kirby cheer when he got a goal, my eyes turning a faint pink. I wonder how I would have been if I was woken up at the age same of Kirby, would I to be a joy filled ball like Kirby?

"META KNIGHT WATCH OUT!" I heard Tuff yell.

I snapped out of my thoughts and swiftly caught Kirby in my palms, Kirby facing right toward me. He blinked and smiled, putting a hand behind his head as is saying 'my bad' I put him down gently back on the grass, nodded, and let him run back to everyone else.

"Kirby needs to know the woods better, he might have been kicked in the forest and no one would be able to find him!" Tiff said, bringing her head from her book.

"Poyo?" Kirby said confusingly.

"We should go on a camping trip!" Tiff said with enthusiasm.

Everyone looked at her with blank stares and she sighed. She explained that camping was when people went out in the forest to enjoy nature and bring tents, food, water, and have fun doing all kinds of things instead of staying all cooped up inside of their houses.

"Alright! Let's go camping!" Tuff said raising his fist in the air, earning a 'poyo' from Kirby.

"Wait" Tiff said with a frown "we need an adult to come with us that knows the forest or we'll be lost"

Everyone started arguing of who the adult should be, Tiff said the Chief and others said Chef Kawasaki, the Mayor, Mabel, and even Melman. Kirby just stared at them then looked up at me and pointed.

"METPOTOKNIGHT!" Kirby crowed excitingly.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"Sorry if you didn't want to come" Tiff said as we walked ahead of Kirby, Fololo, Falala, and the Mayor's 3 grandchildren.

I just nodded my head as in saying 'it's ok' After a few hours of searching we finally found a perfect place to camp, it was a flat area that had trees for shade and it turned dark so we gathered some firewood and started a fire. I watched the fire as it warmed my armor up which makes me warm. Kirby and the others were playing something behind me,

I'd look behind me every once in awhile to make sure nothing went wrong and always smiled, seeing everyone so carefree and happy.

"Ok I got a surprise everybody!" Tiff said, getting something out of her bag.

"Hm? Surprise?" I wasn't informed of any…

"TA-DA!" she brought out a wrapped plastic bag that contained these white puff ball things.

Everyone leaped with joy, all of them gathering sticks and cleaning the tips. I watched the scene around me and wondered what was going on. Why would they need a stick?

"Oh I forgot to tell you Meta Knight, these things are marshmallows" Tiff explained, handing me a stick that had one on it "you put it over the fire and it makes it gooey inside and it's supposed to taste delicious! Then if you want you can put it between two graham crackers that has chocolate on it, it's called smores!"

I looked around and saw everyone around the campfire, roasting the marshmallows as they chattered excitingly; I looked over at Kirby who was staring at the smores ingredients with drool coming out of his mouth. I hope he doesn't eat it all before the others get a chance…

"Poyo" I was taken off guard and kind of jumped when Kirby had in his little chubby arms a smore.

I'd have to admit, it smells and looks awfully delicious but very messy.

"I'm sorry my friend, I can't eat that" I said with an apologetic voice.

Kirby tilted his head, and I couldn't help but chuckle which made Kirby smile like crazy, putting the smore right in front of my face, well helmet.

"POYO! POYO! POYO!" Kirby begged with those sad big eyes I just couldn't refuse anymore. he was, indeed, to cute.

"Fine" I said then taking it in my hands.

Kirby, overjoyed, began cheering 'poyo' and bounced around, going toward the marshmallows to make another smore. I looked at the messy snack in my hand and stared at it challengingly. Now how am I going to eat this... smore as they say it…? I'd have to take off my helmet but no way is that happening. If I tried eating it with my shield on it'll just go all over my face.

I imagined Blade and Sword with me right now, they'd probably be laughing in my face for concentrating on this smore for so long. I then got an idea.

"I'll be back, I need to catch a few fish for dinner" I called to the others then went hurryingly near the river so my smore won't get cold.

I heard little footsteps behind me and I looked behind me, my smore in my hand instead of my sword and saw it was only Kirby, he looked at me with disappointed eyes.

"You know I cannot eat this with my mask on" I said defense fully then Kirby started cheering 'poyo' again.

Oh I see, he wants to see me without my mask, he is not the only one. I remember a few weeks ago Blade and Sword wanted to see me without my mask on, I outright refused to so they got curious. One night they decided to take my mask off in my sleep, lets just say it ended up with me having to buy them more armor.

"No Kirby, you cannot see me without my mask on, so please go on with the others" I said and eyed my smores.

"Poyo…" he said sadly and I made the mistake of looking into his eyes.

His eyes were shining, tear filled blue eyes and he even gave me the puppy pout face.

"Warriors don't cry…" I tried looking away but failed and sighed.

"Fine" I said, advising a little plan in my head.

Kirby cheered and watched me as I slowly slid the smore under my mask and into my mouth, making sure none got on my face or mask.

"POYO!" Kirby pouted.

The taste of the smores were fantastic. I never knew one mini snack could be this delicious, the taste of the marshmallow and chocolate fused together as one and made me feel weird, like I wanted to run around. I've never felt like this.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Everyone was asleep except for me, the sugar in the smores me have, as what the kids said, a sugar rush. I have never eaten this much of sugar and I just had to get it out of my system. I added some wood to the fire and started running in the forest crazily, making me skip all around. I was super hyper and I couldn't think at all.

I ran on top of a small mountain and howled

"AROOOO! I AM THE MIGHTY META KNIGHT! FEAR THE SUGAR RUSH!"

O-o-O-o-O-o-O

I got awoken by a poke with a stick and saw Kirby standing above me and everyone else huddled by a tree. I didn't even drink but I felt hung over, on sugar…

"What happened?" I asked groggily.

"We tried waking you up Meta Knight… but you bit us…"

"…."
