(A/N: Okay, this is my first time writing a fanfic for "Donkey Kong". Before we begin, the only character I own is Evelyn Kong, and you can read her bio on my profile. I don't own the franchise, just Evelyn. Now I'll start the fanfic.)

It was a fine spring day on Kongo Bongo Island. The island's residents were enjoying the nice weather, and everything was right with the world.

At this particular moment, Donkey Kong, DK for short, was hanging around the banana plantation, enjoying a lot of bananas. He was feeling happy, and nothing could spoil his fun. Until...

"DK!" a voice suddenly called out.

DK looked around, wondering where the voice came from.

"DK!" the voice called out again. It was a female voice, but the voice didn't belong to DK's girlfriend, Candy Kong. If it were Candy's voice, DK would've gone running to her before you could say, "Banana slamma!" But like I said, it wasn't Candy's voice. It was a voice that DK recognized, though, and it didn't please him.

"Great. There goes my fun..." DK muttered as the owner of the voice came into view. The voice belonged to Evelyn Kong, DK's ex-girlfriend. Yeah, she and DK used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but Evelyn was bossy and overbearing, and DK broke up with her. Then he met Candy, and he was happier with her than he ever was with Evelyn. Unfortunately, Candy and Evelyn recently met and became friends, so Evelyn was kinda back in DK's life again. Sure, DK and Evelyn weren't happy about seeing each other again, but they kept quiet for Candy.

"DK! There you are!" Evelyn said as she approached the unhappy ape.

"What do you want?" DK asked, clearly not happy to see her.

"Really? That's how you greet a girl?" Evelyn said, displeased.

"Only you." DK said.

"Hmph! No wonder we aren't in a relationship anymore. You're so mean!" Evelyn said, folding her arms across her chest.

"I'm the mean one?! You were always bossing me around, telling me what to do and when to do it, and how to do it!" DK said.

"That's not true! Anyway, I'm not here to talk about why our relationship no longer exists." Evelyn told him.

"Good. Now leave me in peace." DK said.

"I could, but I won't." Evelyn said.

"Why not?" DK asked.

"As you know, my birthday's coming up." Evelyn said.

"I'm not getting you a present." DK said.

"I'm not asking you to. However, Candy got me a present, didn't she?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah, and she says that you're gonna love it." DK replied.

"Good! So what did she get me?" Evelyn asked.

"Sorry. Can't tell you!" DK said.

"Come on! You can tell me!" Evelyn told him.

"No, I can't." DK replied.

"I won't tell Candy." Evelyn said.

"No! I can't tell you because she didn't tell me what it is, and even if she did, I still wouldn't tell you." DK said.

"Are you sure she didn't tell you?" Evelyn asked.

"She didn't tell me." DK said, but he was lying. Candy did tell him what the present was. Now Evelyn was trying to get the answer, but DK knew better than to tell; it would ruin the surprise.

"Nice try, DK. I know you better than that." Evelyn said.

"What do you mean?" DK asked, a little nervous.

"You forget that I know when you're lying, and you lied." Evelyn told him.

"But I'm not lying!" DK lied.

"Yes, you are. You're doing it right now." Evelyn said.

"I'm still not telling you." DK said, and it was his turn to fold his arms as he turned away from her.

"Is that a fact?" Evelyn asked.

"Yep." DK said.

"Well, I'll make this a lot easier for you. If you don't tell me what Candy got me, or if you lie about what she got me, I'll break off my friendship with her and tell her that the reason why is because you were planning to break up with her because you hate that she and I are friends." Evelyn said with an evil smirk.

"WHAT?! I'd never do that! I love Candy! Plus, do you have any idea what Candy will do to me if you tell her something like that?!" DK gasped, knowing that Evelyn lied about making this easier. She made it a lot more difficult. It was bad enough she wanted him to tell what the present was, but what she would do if he didn't tell, or lied, was unthinkable!

"Well, you know how to avoid it." Evelyn replied, not caring that he was clearly unhappy.

"This is exactly why we're not together anymore! I just get so sick and tired - did you notice how 'tired' always follows 'sick'? One time, Cranky said 'I just get so sick...', and then I added, 'And tired...' I didn't know he could hit that hard or that fast..." DK said, trying to change the subject.

"DONKEY KONG! You have 10 seconds to tell me what the present is, and I'll know if you're lying! Those 10 seconds start now!" Evelyn said (she only called DK 'Donkey Kong' whenever her patience wore thin, which happened more often than not during their relationship), and then she began to count down the seconds. "10... 9... 8..."

"What do I do?" DK asked himself. He didn't know what to do. No matter what he did, he'd end up in trouble. If he told Evelyn what Candy got her, then Candy would be disappointed that Evelyn wasn't really surprised with her gift; but if he didn't tell, or lied, Evelyn was going to break off her friendship with Candy and tell her that he was the reason why.

"3... 2..." Evelyn counted.

"STOP!" DK shouted. He took a deep breath, and said, "...I'll tell you." Then he very reluctantly told Evelyn what the gift was: the silver bracelet she'd had her eye on for months.

"Yay! That's exactly what I was hoping to get! Thank you!" Evelyn said, and she went skipping away like a schoolgirl.

"What have I done?" DK moaned, feeling extremely guilty.

What's DK going to do? He wasn't given a choice. Is there any way to set things right? Stay tuned to find out.
