The Kings Request

It was a bright, sunny morning and I was having a little snack. In case you don't know me, I'm Kirby. I am round, pink, and have red feet. I live in a kingdom called Dreamland. Right now I'm enjoying a snack of apples and watermelon. Just then a Waddle Dee ran towards me. Waddle Dees are other residents of Dreamland. They are about the same size as me, they are mostly brown with a tan face and tan feet. I got to my feet and prepared for battle, for Waddle Dees are usually against me. Instead of attacking it stopped right in front of me. I then noticed it was holding a rolled up flyer. It handed it to me and I opened it and read.

Air Ride

The king has requested that you, humble resident of Dreamland, participate in the first Air Ride Competition. Please report to the front of the castle for registration. Remember, you must have an Air Ride Machine in order to compete.

" The king wants me to participate?" I asked. Waddle Dee nodded. The king, by the way, is a selfish pig named King Dedede. The reason I was amazed was because King Dedede hates me. " Sounds fishy. Why would he want me to compete? And Air Ride Machine? What the heck is an Air Ride Machine? I don't have one off those."

Waddle Dee thought for a moment. He then jestured me to follow him. He lead me to a small cave. We went inside and found a glowing, floating star. I knew what this was. It was my Warpstar. Whenever I call for it during battle, it comes to my aid. Waddle Dee pointed to the Warpstar and then pointed at the spot on the flyer where it said " Air Ride Machine". I understood immediately. The Warpstar is an Air Ride Machine.

" Hmmmm…" I said. " Alright. I'll enter." Waddle Dee jumped up and down excitedly then left. I began to think. Why would Dededork want me to compete? Could he be up to something? What if I win? What will I get? What if I lose? What will happen? And above all… What is an Air Ride competition? And I still don't understand what an Air Ride Machine is. Well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I register.
