It was a normal day in Eggman's lab, when Deco spotted what looked like a meteor.

"DOCTOR! There is a meteor approaching the base!" he yelled.

"What! I don't have time for space junk! I'm trying to figure out plans for my Eggman Empire!" Eggman shouted.

Boco replied, "But Doctor it's heading for the base!"

Eggman growled in frustrastion, "Then acticate the shields and-"

BOOM! The meteor had already made impact.

"Hey, that's not a meteor! That's a tiny ship! Deco! Boco! We're going down there!" Eggman shouted.

"B-but Doctor, what if it's a hostile alien?" Deco asked, slightly panicked.

But Eggman was already out the door. Deco and Boco hesitantly followed. Down at the crash, there was a small capsule-like ship. It was heavily damaged and was still smoking from burning in the atmosphere.

"I hope it does not try to eat us." Boco said.

Eggman rolled his eyes, "Relax, you two aren't even edible."

Suddenly a loud hiss was heard and a door opened on the tiny ship. Deco and Boco jumped back in fear. Eggman cautiously opened the door further and looked inside.

Laying in the ship, was a pink mound no bigger than a soccer ball. Deco and Boco peered over Eggman's shoulders to see what it was. As he stared at it, it opened two bright blue eyes that shone with the light of the stars. It looked around until it saw Eggman and then it's mouth widened in a smile. Two little arms waved beside it, and two large, red feet kicked at the blankets.

After a few seconds, the smile faded from its face. It looked pitifully at Eggman and then began to whimper. He immediately backed away from it. "What is it?" Eggman asked himself as it looked up at him.

"It seems harmless..." Boco observed.

"It's kind of cute! Can we keep it Doctor?" Deco asked.

Eggman noticed a note on the inside of the door, he took it and read it aloud.

Congratulations, Sir Meta Knight!

As you may already know, this is Kirby, your baby Star Warrior. Raise him to be skilled and strong. When he is ready, we will come to retrieve him to fulfill his destiny of defeating the evil Lord, Nightmare. Take Good care of him, he's a handfull!

- The Galactic Knights.

"Kirby? Star Warrior? Nightmare? Knights?" Boco repeated, confused, "Why would an infant be drifting through space?"

"I think 'Kirby' was supposed to end up somewhere else but it landed here by mistake." Deco stated.

Eggman tossed the note back in the ship. He shrugged before walking back inside.

Boco and Deco glanced at each other before turning to the pink puffball. Deco awkwardly picked it up, not sure of how to handle a baby.

Kirby yawned widely and snuggled into Deco's chest. Deco scanned the ship for some sign of where it came from, but found nothing except a blanket.

Deco and Boco could only stare at one another in confusion. Kirby began to fall asleep, but it went unnoticed by the two robots. This thing was a baby? Not only that, but it supposedly belonged to a knight?

Inside the base, Eggman was at the drawing board as if nothing even happened.

"Doctor, what should we do with the baby alien?"

"I don't care." he simply answered.

Deco and Boco glanced down at the sleeping baby, then at each other. Deco picked up the baby and went to the robot ward.

"So...what should we do with him..?" Boco asked.

"I don't know..." Deco answered as he gently placed Kirby down, "Take care of him?"

Kirby was waking up. He was hungry, and he began to whimper. Deco and Boco stopped with their conversation and turned to him. The whimpering became louder.

"Sssh..." Boco tried to soothe the baby, "It's all right."

Kirby stopped whimpering as tears formed in his eyes. His stomach growled.

"I think he's hungry!" said Boco.

"What do living things eat...?" Deco asked, picking Kirby up.

Boco shrugged, "Let's ask Bokkun. He knows!"

"Ask me what?" Bokkun flew in.

"What to living things eat?" asked Boco.

"Food! Duh!" Bokkun reached into his jetpack, "Here," he said, holding up an apple, "I'm not sure if it can eat this, though…" But suddenly Kirby opened his mouth and inhaled the apple. The three stared in shock. He hadn't reached for it and eaten it; he had literally sucked it into his mouth. Bokkun got another apple, which was also inhaled, along with the rest of Bokkun's food stores.

"What the heck!" Bokkun yelled.

Kirby sighed happily and snuggled back into Deco's chest. The robot tucked the blankets tighter around the sleeping baby.

Boco stated, "Well, I see it will be a problem to feed him…"

"I agree." said Deco.

"We have to get this thing to where it was supposed to go. I don't want this thing eating all my food." argued Bokkun.

"Don't be selfish." Deco replied.

Kirby crawled out of his blankets and tried to stand up. He was wobbly at first, but he got the hang of it quickly. "Poyo!" he giggled, "Poyo!"

Deco and Boco smiled, "Awww..."

Bokkun slapped his forehead, sighing.
